“Hannah was incredible! I was SO nervous being across the country for two weeks. She took the time to learn how to best care for our cats (one who needs meds). She stayed in contact with me, provided pictures each visit and showed our boys so much love and care. I am so thankful for her and won’t hesitate to ask for her help again in the future!”
“Nicole is awesome! She took great care of our cat and went above and beyond! We will absolutely be using her for our pets in the future and have already recommended her to others.”
“Jessica's Facebook promotional discount led me to her Rover profile. From beginning / intros to end, Jessica was professional and friendly. I could tell by the daily photos that my cat was happy and well cared for. Great communication and quick responses will make me a repeat customer.”
“Sophia was AMAZING!! We had a wonderful vacation during the holiday season with family all thanks to Sophia's kind and generous help during such a busy time. Our kitties were SO well taken care of and had an amazing time. Sophia was incredibly generous, spent amazingly meaningful time with our cats, was incredibly communicative, and was an absolute delight to work with. We can't recommend Sophia enough -- if you're looking for kind, compassionate care for your fur babies then look no further!! Thank you Sophia for being such an awesome sitter for us.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for a long time, and have taken care of pets for friends and family for 10+ years. I love how different every dog is, and getting to understand how to take their individual needs into account. I do my best to adapt my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for, and currently have a lot of time available to walk, feed, and play with pets in my care. I prefer to have clear instructions when it comes to pet care, and try to keep the care I provide as similar to the care they already receive as possible.
“Bridget was excellent with our cats and snake! She was very proactive in asking questions about the care needed by our pets. She communicated with us very promptly during visits and took the time to take a lot of photos of our babies for us. Overall, she was very kind and professional and we both knew our pets were in good hands. We’ll definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”
“Ashley was great with my cat! She made sure to text me updates and send great pictures of my cat while I was away. My cat is pretty shy, but Ashley made sure to go find her and get in some pets and playtime. Would definitely recommend Ashley!”
“Brianna has continued to do an outstanding job of caring for my cat. She has spent extra time giving her love or play time periodically and has helpfully collected mail, packages, and put out the trash for pickup. She responds very quickly to messages and is very considerate in communicating any short, unexpected delays in to the house due to road construction, etc. Brianna was also very accommodating when I had to extend my trip an extra day.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own.

I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.
“Kali was great! She was always on time for drop ins and took care of Rudy and kitties. Rudy loved the butt scratches and she let me know what’s going on during her visit. Highly recommend”
About: I was raised around all kinds of animals. I respect the fact that they have their own boundaries and tolerance towards certain things. I love helping animals over come fears and building relationships with them. I own 2 dogs and 4 cats. Animal care is second nature to me. I enjoy all of their personalities and mannerisms. To me, life isn’t complete without a dog or cat by your side. My yard is not fenced in, but I have tie downs both in my front and backyard. I have 2 very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby entertained. If you have a cat, don’t worry we have a safe place set up in our home just for them.

I prefer to be able to go to your house to provide any care you’re seeing fit.

Just providing that time they need to get through the time you’re away.

Moth M.
“Last year, I took my son on a trip to Las Vegas for four days, and Moth generously stepped in to care for my pets. Not only did they keep my animals fed and happy, but they also stayed at the house the entire time to make sure everything ran smoothly. When I ended up unexpectedly stranded in Los Angeles for an extra day, Moth didn’t hesitate to extend their stay—watching over my dog and two cats for a total of five days. They maintained the litter box, ensured the pets were well-fed, and even walked my dog daily. I came home to calm, well-cared-for animals and a tidy home. Moth was responsible, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets’ wellbeing. I will absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter—couldn’t be more pleased!”
