1. Brigit B.

“I’ve been using Brigit as my go-to drop-in sitter for my cat for maybe 2 years now. I’ve recommended her to multiple friends and she is wonderful with my needy senior cat. She communicates clearly and efficiently, follows my sometime changing instructions, and has wonderful availability. I’ll be using her house sitting services for the first time soon and I can only imagine that my kitty will be stoked to have her around. I truly appreciate Brigit and all she has done for my kitty and I.”

3. Hossanna S.

“Hossanna did a great job! The water and food bowls are full and litter boxes clean. The cats are happy and healthy. She communicated and sent photos at every visit.”


4. Lillie A.

“First time using Rover and Lillie has been amazing! We couldn’t be happier with the care she has provided for our pups. From the start, she was professional, in constant communication and passionate. Lillie kept us updated with check in’s and pictures, which gave great peace of mind. She was respectful of our home and went above and beyond, to take our packages in and left the house clean. I highly recommend Lillies services!”

“Skyler is absolutely amazing! She watched my pup while a neighbor was moving in and handled it amazingly. She cares for my dog like her own! Will definitely book again!”

9. Joanna A.
“JoAnna is a kind and professional human who throughly enjoys pet-sitting and animals. She takes care of my pride and joy, a cat named Gizmo, and I've always felt comfortable going on a trip knowing JoAnna is taking care of him. She's watched him for up to 8 days, and has even come over on short notice. She's the human for your baby!”


10. Angelina M.

“Grace did a wonderful job taking care of my Sofi! Lots of happy pictures!”




15. Tessa P.
“Tessa was a good pet sitter to our two cats. We have one cat who is nervous, especially when we leave (she pulls out her fur). During the time Tessa watched our nervous cat, she didn't display any of her usual anxiety - so we were super grateful for the attention Tessa gave her.”


16. Hanna A.
“Hanna watched our dog Olive while we were out of the country for two weeks and she took great care of her! She kept us updated and sent us photos of Olive to let us know how she was doing. Will definitely have her watch Olive again in the future.”


17. Allie S.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As the founder of a nonprofit rescue, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to introverted senior cats, and I truly believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I specialize in shy, quirky, or high-needs pets—those who might take a little extra patience (and maybe a snack bribe or two) to warm up. The photos you see here? They’re a mix of foster pets, my personal pets, and beloved dog-sitting clients. If your pet has ever been described as “a little dramatic,” “selectively friendly,” or “too smart for their own good,” we’ll get along just fine. My approach is gentle, flexible, and grounded in experience—and lots of treats. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, whether they’re a wild child or a cuddle bug. My goal is for your furry family member to feel right at home—even when they’re not. Someone is home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. We’re only ever away for a max of four hours at a time—perfect for pets who need extra snuggles or supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new pals. I can easily crate your pup if needed or keep them separated if they prefer their own space. My home is pet-proofed, cozy, and always full of love (and treats).


18. Melissa B.


“Extremely reliable. Lots of experience with cats and dogs. Great communicator. Flexible with adding on extra days as needed. Pleasant energy and personality.”


19. Kiara M.
“I am Kiara M. cousin, and I can’t help but share how incredible she is when it comes to animals. Over the years, I’ve witnessed her interactions with countless animals, and I can confidently say that she is truly the most genuine and loving soul I have ever met in this regard. It’s remarkable to see how all dogs are drawn to her; they seem to sense her kindness and warmth. This opportunity would be perfect for her, as it would allow her to share her passion for animals and continue to spread her love and compassion to those who need it the most.”


20. Regina R.

“Regina was absolutely great! She came the day prior to pick up the key to my home and meet my puppy as well as go over any questions. Little Cali absolutely loved her! On the actual sitting day, I received plenty of pictures and updates and it looked like she had a blast. Will definitely be booking again.”
