“We love booking with Christine, she is so helpful and our kitten Mischa absolutely loves her! She also gives us great tips and updates that make leaving our cat less sad and stressful. I would highly recommend booking with her if you need someone to cat sit. Thank you again Christine.”
“Monica took amazing care of our cats Finny and Suzie while we were away. She is a very thoughtful caretaker and super responsive to the needs of different cats. We would very highly recommend Monica and will be seeking her help again in the future!”
“Shannon was so lovely to work with and did an amazing job checking in on my cat, Waffles when I was out of town for several days. I would definitely ask her to drop by again in the future. It was so reassuring to know Shannon would be checking in on her daily, and Shannon provided great updates and was very communicative.”
“Madelyn took such good care of my kitty when I went away for a few days. She kept me in the loop and my cat seemed to love her. Shes trustworthy and gives plenty of attention and pets which I appreciated. Highly recommend you book with her.”
“Gabby did such a great job checking on my cat Gizzy while we were away! She had great communication prior to the booking and I received updates and photos every day. Gizzy was happy and cared for when we got home. I would highly recommend Gabby!”
“Bonnie was great with our three cats! We could sense her experience by the way she interacted with the cats (even the first time she met them) and this made us feel confident leaving them in her care while we we were away. They were also very calm when we returned home which let us know that they too felt comfortable and taken care of by Bonnie. She had no problem administering multiple medicines and giving extra help to one of our cats who was still recovering from an injury. We appreciated her detailed check-ins, regular communication, and all the lovely pictures she sent while we were away! This was our first time having Bonnie as a sitter, and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.”
“Darya was amazing with my cat, as usual. I had to be away for almost a week longer than planned, and Darya was very adaptable and made sure Pepito had everything he needed while I was gone. She always sends me a photo and an update on not just Pepito’s food/water/litter box/etc, but also on his mood. Pepito always seems happy after spending time with Darya :) I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals most my life. Prior to enlisting in the military I had a Pitt/Mastiff mix, so safe to say the larger breeds do not scare me. I’ve learned the bigger the dog the bigger baby they are lol. Im transitioning out of the Navy right now and my work schedule is very minimal! I’m available most afternoons and for any evening or overnight needs. My current residence does not accommodate pets but I am mobile for all of your in home needs! I find it best not to take the babies out of their environment if not necessary anyways (:
“We recently invited Alexandra to look after our cat, Toby, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Our cat, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to Alexandra right away. The updates and photos were a wonderful touch, and it was clear that Alexandra genuinely cares about our lovely cat. We felt at ease knowing our cat was in such responsible hands! Thank you!”
About: As someone who has several furry family members, I understand how important it is to leave your pet in the care of someone you can trust. I love being able to fill that role as needed, whether it's while you're away at work or while you're away traveling. My pets love a predictable routine, so I recognize how important that can be for many pets. I find it really meaningful to help with maintaining your pets' routines as much as possible while you're away and unable to do so. I'm lucky enough to be completely remote with work and have a couple free hours throughout the day most days. I want to use those free hours in a productive/active way if possible, which is why I thought offering pet care might be a great way to make use of that time. I'll strive to do my best to meet your pets' feeding/play/walking needs whenever possible. I totally get the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets in the care of someone new. I also know it takes time to build trust and safety between pets and people that are new to them; I'll do my best to initially provide some extra time/availability to build this relationship with your pet/pets.
“Chelsea is the best!! We have never had a single issue or concern with Chelsea in the last year of her being the primary sitter for our two kitties. Leo and Stitch absolutely love when Chelsea comes over, and we will miss her so much as we move out of town! She always sends lots of pictures too, which is a huge plus!”
“Jarrod + Jackson = Bff’s! Jarrod was awesome and always kept great communication. He sent pictures and let me know what was going on. He even brought in my packages and when one was labeled perishable he even put it in the freezer for me. 100% recommended!”
“Yena did a wonderful job taking care of my two young kitties while I was away for a few days. She followed instructions ensuring that they stayed on their feeding schedules and had enough play time during the day. I received many updates/photos on how my cats were doing. I felt at ease leaving her with my cats. I would definitely recommend her services and consider again in the future.”
“Isa is wonderful! I’ve used her before through other services, and she’s always been amazing with my dog, Maggie. She’s reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure Maggie is happy and comfortable. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she’s in Isa’s hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I truly love dogs — they’re my favorite thing in the world! I've rescued several dogs from bad conditions, so I understand how to care for pups even with special needs, give medicine when needed, and be patient and gentle. I respect every dog's space and let them enjoy their walks at their own pace. I'm very attentive to details and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home, so I have open availability and plenty of time to take care of your dog with attention, love, patience and dedication. I’m happy to take care of dogs in their own home. I always follow their feeding, treats, and walking schedules exactly as instructed. I spend quality time with them — playing, brushing, giving gentle massages, and making sure they have fresh water at all times. I can also help with baths, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and flea checks.
About: Hi there, my name is Erin! I've lived in San Diego for over 2 years, and reside downtown. I have a wonderful cat named Puppy, she's 12 and the light of my life. I've had pets my entire life. I particularly love cats -- I think we have a lot in common haha. I've had Puppy since 2015. I met her while volunteering at the SPCA and it was love at first sight. I also spent some time volunteering with the tiny kittens who were still being bottle fed. All that to say, I am extremely experienced in caring for cats of all ages. I just got laid off, so I basically have all the time in the world! Of course, I'll be on the job hunt for a remote tech role, but in the meantime, I'd enjoy filling my time with as many cute kitties as possible. I am respectful of whatever rules my clients have in their own homes. Shoes off household? Great! Kitty needs space? I understand. I have met just about every kind of cat, and I know their needs differ drastically. I am good at reading the situation and tailoring my care to each pet. I treat my own cat like family, and will 100% lend that same respect to yours.
“Halley was amazing! It was my first time ever leaving by new boy and I was so worried about how he would do without me there. Halley was super communicative and left super thorough notes about her drop in visits for my cat, Jinx. She took photos of EVERYTHING. Clean litter box, water fountain level, wet food prepped, and of course of my sweet boy. The videos were amazing and gave me peace of mind that my kitty was well taken care of while she was there. She was also flexible when my flight was cancelled (thanks Southwest) for potentially adding on some additional days. Will DEFINITELY use Halley again to watch Jinx! Thank you!! ??”
“Lisa was amazing! This was my second time using her and I will continue to do so for future trips. She was so kind and gave my cat sooo much love and attention. She sent me updates every day and included cute pictures with it. I felt safe leaving my cat in Lisa’s care!”

victoria w.
“I can’t say enough good things about Victoria! From the moment we met, it was clear she truly loves animals and knows how to care for them. Mars instantly took to her, which says a lot, since he can be a little shy with new people. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, pictures, and sweet messages that completely put my mind at ease. She followed all instructions perfectly, gave Mars plenty of exercise and cuddles, and even left my home clean and tidy. I came back to a very happy pup! I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Will definitely book again!”

Rose S.
“Rose is easily one of the most organized and dependable people I know. She has three cats of her own who are basically her children, and I have no doubt she’ll bring that same love and care to any pet she looks after. I’ve known her for over 15 years, and she’s someone I’ve always been able to count on. Her dad’s a vet, so she’s been around animals her whole life; caring for them comes naturally to her. Anyone who leaves their pet in her hands can trust they’ll be safe, loved, and incredibly well cared for.”

Erin G.
“Erin is a natural with animals — especially cats. She’s had her own cat, Puppy, for nearly 10 years (yes, her cat is adorably named Puppy), and the bond between them is amazing. Erin is calm, caring, and incredibly attentive — qualities that make her a fantastic pet sitter. She even helped care for Puppy through an illness with patience and love, which speaks volumes about her dedication. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with any pet.”

Alena did a great job watching our cat! She was super communicative and sent us great photos during her visits. Our cat is very shy but she was super accommodating and friendly and made sure to give him the space he needed! We felt reassured with our cat being in her care while we were away. We will definitely be re-booking with her!!! :)
Marcie is a true animal lover and did a great job again looking after our cats. The boys bonded with her pretty much instantaneously and were very happy to spend time with her. Marcie also administered medication to one of our cats, handled any mess they created, and left the house in a great shape. It was great to know our cats were well looked after and we look forward to working with Marcie again!
Princess is great with cats who have medical issues! My cat has asthma and needs an inhaler twice a day a day and she is great at doing it. She makes me feel safe and not worry when I’m away. Exactly what you want in a pet sitter. She even knows first aid, etc. Princess rocks!!!
Lorenza helped take care of Kitty well my husband and I were away for a two week trip. I can tell my cat enjoyed her company. Lorenza seems to have lot of experience with cats and you can tell as my cat seem happy and healthy when we came back to great after our trip. I highly recommend this Rover. She was able to accommodate us last minute when our previous sitter had and emergency and we felt very comfortable with her.
Nancy came and checked on our cats for a couple days while we were out of town. She followed the instructions carefully and spent plenty of time playing with and giving them love. She also sent plenty of pictures which was much appreciated! I highly recommend her to watch your pets 😊
Chelsea is the best!! We have never had a single issue or concern with Chelsea in the last year of her being the primary sitter for our two kitties. Leo and Stitch absolutely love when Chelsea comes over, and we will miss her so much as we move out of town! She always sends lots of pictures too, which is a huge plus!
Lilly was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly and took the time to visit our home and get to know our cat before the booking. She was very attentive, gentle, and made sure our cat felt safe and comfortable. We really appreciated her thoughtful updates.
Brittany took excellent care of our cats and our home! One of our cats knocked over a plant and made a huge mess while we were away, and Brittany was kind enough to clean everything up and repot the plant. We really appreciated her flexibility and her responsiveness. Would definitely book again!
Sydney is the greatest. Because of work, I have to travel for long periods of time, which means leaving my cat at home alone. I always worry about him and feel guilty, but Sydney truly gives me peace of mind knowing that she will take care of him in my absence. She sends great notes of each visit and plenty of photos. She is always on-time and I always come home to my house exactly as I left it! Highly recommend Sydney!
Kaylee is the absolute best cat sitter!!!!! First time leaving my two cats and after meeting her I knew she was the perfect fit for my boys. She took the absolute best care of them as if they were her own. I’m sure Indigo and Bear will miss seeing her. Even my very skittish kitty Bear warmed up to her quickly.
