Pet Sitting in Ruby

“Emily was absolutely wonderful! My 11 year old cat was snuggling with her when she visited. Emily took great care of my baby and sent me photos and videos of her when I was traveling. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely reach out to her next time we go away!”

“Melissa was awesome! She was consistent in going to our house while we were gone and great about communicating and sending pics, which we hugely appreciated. She made a real effort to connect and play with our cat even when he was standoff-ish. She went above and beyond, and we greatly appreciated her help. We will definitely be reaching out again.”

“David was wonderful. He went well out of his way to set up a time to meet my dog. He was very flexible, friendly, and reliable. I will be contacting him again without a doubt if needed in the future!”

“Shana was my first experience with a Rover petsitter and I'm so happy she was! She was very quick to reaspond to my booking request and thereafter, always responded within minutes. She was very loving and engaging toward my Suzie and understanding of my kitty's quirks.”

“Vicki is excellent - thorough, communicative and so caring. I have a very sweet cat that is very skittish and so mostly hid but in knowing this, Vicki was ready to coax her to play or leave her be if that seemed in order. This was my first time being away for more than a couple days and it was such a boon to find Vicki and a relief knowing my cat was so well looked after.”

“Hila is very responsive, punctual and friendly. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her. He seemed well cared for. We’ll use her again!”

“Sebastian was a wonderful cat sitter for me while I was away for a week. Sebastian followed all instructions, and took initiative to clean up water from a dispenser that one of my cats tipped over. Sebastian was very thorough with her check-ins, which included pictures and updates on my cats well-being. Sebastian was reliable and consistent, as well as kind and thoughtful. I will definitely hire Sebastian again when the need arises.”

“Deborah was an amazing dog sitter. You can tell that she is passionate about animals by the care and attention given to our 3-month old puppy. She asked questions and was so thorough when following our instructions. Would absolutely recommend her to anybody.”

“Olivia was really wonderful! My cat seemed to take to her immediately. She gave me updates with pictures and when I got home my cat seemed peaceful like she had been well taken care of.”

“Cipriana is my only choice when it comes to caring for my kitty when I’m away. I always know I can count on her, and my cat enjoys Cipriana’s company too. Highly recommend! And thank you as always, Cipriana!”

“Savannah sent very thorough updates after her visits and replied quickly to our messages. Our cats sometimes remain apprehensive toward carers, but they warmed up to Savannah quickly. The house was in excellent order on our return. The area where the cats are fed was very clean and organized. The area around the litter box was very clean. Ditto for the area around the front door, which is a chore in the winter.”

“My cat is afraid of EVERYONE and EVERYTHING… except for Alexandra (Allie). Within a day, he had warmed up to her, which is faster than he warmed up to all of my friends that are here all the time. So, that’s great! Allie’s communication was great - thoughtful updates, she brought in my mail, confirmed daily that everything I had asked about had been completed, and seriously, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was nice enough to stop by quickly to meet in person before I left town, asked great questions, and immediately made me happy that I had booked her. Looking forward to working with her again! Thanks so much Allie!”

“Sam did an amazing job taking care of my cat Apollo while I was away. My cat seemed happy when I got home which is always a great sign. I’d definitely book with Sam again and highly recommend them to other pet owners!”

About: I began my dog sitting adventure 6 years ago while in graduate school in London where I provided dog boarding, doggy daycare, and house sitting. In addition to dog sitting, I run a retreat and events business from my home. I love having a companion and taking walks during my workday. I find peace and pleasure outside, especially by water. I am available for house sitting, boarding, and doggy day care. I can care for dogs that enjoy a love walk as well as the elderly who mostly want to cuddle and rest. Extremely high energy dogs that need to play most of the day are a bit outside my scope but I have a special touch with dogs who experience anxiety. Below are some non-negotiables for working with me: 1. House trained pups only please! 2. For new clients, I require an in-person meet & greet. I’m unable to accept bookings without them! 3. As a means of maintaining the energy in my home, no pet parents may come inside. Meet & greets happen on my porch or in my fenced in backyard and drop offs happen on my porch only. 4. All communication happens in the Rover app. I’m happy to touch base and send a few photos here but I don’t give out my personal phone number. If these details feel aligned with you, please include this emoji: 🐾 in your message so I know you agree to the above! I work full-time from home. I'm able to accommodate a dog from my home or go to a doggie's clean home as long as there is reliable and efficient wifi. Walking during the day is great for me too! I also have experience with dogs who would rather stick close to home. I have a fenced-in yard for doggies to play. I'm comfortable with dogs sleeping in my bed, as well. In my home, I require a house-trained dog that I can take outside for potty breaks but can accommodate a dog who uses pee pee pads or otherwise inside their home.

About: While I grew up with beagles and then German Shepherds, I adopted my first cat when I was 25. Since then, I have loved more than 30 cats, usually have more than one at a time. I have taken care of dogs of my family and friends since I was a teenage babysitter. I'm a Reiki Master Teacher and I can offer Reiki for pets which may explain while pets tend to sit on my feet when I am with them Even though I'm a retired reading specialist, I occasionally work as a substitute. I will rearrange my daily schedule to take the best care of your pet(s). I have a dog crate and smaller carriers to use in my car should I need to transport your pet to go for a walk in a nearby park or a trip to your vet. I will approach your pet gently when entering your home. I will play with them, provide their meals and fresh water, take them for walks with baggies and/or clean litter boxes daily. I will follow your routine to help your pets feel secure in your absence.

“Emily is amazing! Super communicative, helpful, always on time for every visit, and my cats loved her! Could not ask for a better pet sitter. :)”

“Where do I even start ?? Ilanya was byyyy far the most amazing dog sitter I had for my dog. She’s been helping me now going on 4 years. I travel a lot and I used to have my dog at the dog daycares until I was referred to Ilanya and when I say I never went back to the daycares when I travel I mean that. She would come to my house and dog sit Bronx. Everytime I came back my house was also cleaned like no one was there so not only did she take amazing care of my dog but she also took care of my house. Bronx loves her and every time he hears her voice his tail wags. She is so sweet and professional and treats him like her own. Best choice I’ve made.”

“Rima went above and beyond my expectations. My dogs were very well taken care of from the minute she stepped in the door. They absolutely love her. I almost didn’t want to leave a review selfishly so I wouldn’t have to fight for her time. I can’t thank her enough for the care and dedication she put in to make sure everything was perfect during her time with my animals. As well as treating them as her own. I cannot recommend her enough. The pups already miss her!”

“So happy Nicole is on rover! It was so nice to meet her and I appreciated her care, communication, and amazing photos! I knew my boys were safe and looked after and I think they had some pretty fun playtime when Nicole was visiting”

“Jessica is a wonderful dog sitter. She is super friendly and caring. She has a lot of energy to be able to walk/play with your dogs if need be. She is very trust worthy. My dog loves when Jessica comes to watch him! ”
