Kacey took excellent care of my two cats when I was gone and went above and beyond what I would expect from a sitter. I would definitely hire again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter.

Chris did a wonderful job with Sadie - you can tell that he truly enjoys what he does & has a special way with pets. He met with us prior to his first visit to chat through expectations and to make sure we all felt comfortable. He took lots of great pictures and left a really thorough update following his visit. We will absolutely rebook with him!!

About: I have owned dogs and cats for 27 years and have learned that each pet is unique and deserving of great love and care. I've trained a puppy, rescued a young dog, given dogs and cats medicine, taken care of an ailing senior animal, gone on long walks and given plenty of belly rubs. I recently left my full-time job to focus on freelancing. This gives me flexibility and lots of time to care for pets. I would like to establish long-term relationships with pets and their owners. If I'm checking in on your pet, I will respect your home as if it were my own. I'll follow your care instructions to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy. For walks, I'll provide the utmost care to ensure your pet is safe while getting the amount of exercise and outdoor activity they need.

Mary met with me and the cats beforehand and that was helpful. She sent pictures when she visited that showed the cats were comfortable with her. That reassured me that they were being well taken care of while I was away for a few days. We communicated easily.

Octavia took great care of our pups! Our one dog, Frankie, is very reactive to strangers and a hard sell and she warmed up to her so well! She took the time to make sure Frankie felt safe and comfortable! Both dogs were very happy to have her there! We can’t wait to hire her again!

Glenn provided consistent care and attention for my cat and undertook the challenge of caring for my parrot although he was without prior bird experience. Both bird and cat were happy and healthy upon my return and Glenn communicated daily reports on them while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased.

About: I’m a social worker, a mom to 2 pit bulls, 1 senior cat, and 1 human toddler. I grew up on a farm and I am a lifelong animal lover. Between the various needs of my creatures at home, and my experience over the last 20 years, I’m well equipped to take care of your babies. I have somewhat flexible availability during the week, and even more so on the weekends. I work from home some days of the week and can pop out as needed. I am attentive to your instructions for care and walk in with eyes wide open. If something seems off, I’ll let you know right away. I’m also happy to send cute pics to reassure you that your babies are doing great :)

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and other pets my whole life, trained my own dog myself, and provide flexible, attentive, loving care for animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time as a lifeguard at a local pool, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and care for pets throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routines, giving them attention, exercise, clean spaces, and constant supervision when needed.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I have such a big heart for our four legged friends and I take great care of them. I recently moved to Cleveland and adopted Winston. He is the best thing to ever happen to me. We love walks, going to the park, and just hanging out having each other as companions. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old and now he has turned into a well mannered young man! He would love to play your your fur baby!! My work schedule varies week by week but i am almost always home by 5pm and I keep my days pretty open on my days off. Winston and I go on about 5 walks a day as long as the Ohio weather permits!! I live in an apartment so I don’t personally have much square footage indoors but no matter the space, I would always try to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Fortunately, we have a nice dog park and some very pretty neighbors to walk around!

About: I’m excited to pet sit for you! I’m a recent college graduate and have been pet sitting for the past 8 plus years primarily in Ohio and North Carolina. I historically have stayed over and house/dog sat with 1-3 dogs. But have also done my fair share of cat sitting. I love animals and grew up with dogs and hanging with my cousins cats. Unfortunately I have been moving around more recently and have not been able to get my own. I love going to dog parks, playing fetch, and going for runs with dogs. Also, I have fun playing with cats and laser pens. I’m new to Washington, hence the Rover account. I’m free most weekends and also available in the evenings to walk dogs. I'm currently in grad school. I take mostly evening courses so am happy to come by for a mid-day walk and fairly free on most weekends. I'm hiking most weekends, so would love to take your furry friends on a hike! At this time my home is not available to pet sit but I am happy to come to your home to let pets out for a walk or to spend time together to play!

Megan helped us check on our 3 golden retrievers while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us photos every time she visited and we really liked how detailed she was on her daily reports. That really helped us feel less worried and relaxed during our trip. When we came back, our dogs were happy and healthy! We highly recommend her!!
