Paulina is a great cat sitter! She was easy to communicate with and was happy to meet us and our cat before we hired her. She is reliable and gave our cat plenty of attention while we were away. Would absolutely hire her again. Thank you, Paulina!

Kim did a fantastic job, as she always does. My cat trusts her enough to come out of hiding (which isn’t an easy feat). Awesome work, thanks Kim!

Jen was a punctual, knowledgeable, and reliable cat sitter from our first visit to the last check in. Her reports show her pertinent observations on changes in the cat’s play and feeding behavior with good solutions to these behaviors. She was also willing to bring in the mail and take out the trash while we were away. The cats were playful and engaged in the videos she posted. We recommend Jen as a pet sitter and will use her services in the future.

Ashley was amazing! So incredibly kind and attentive to our fur babies. She was very patient and aware of their body language which is super important to us as our kitties are quite skittish and slow to warm up. But by the end of her visits they had definitely warmed up. We would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for their babies to be well loved!

Kelly did an awesome job of taking care of our three cats over the weekend. They are not always quick to welcome newcomers, but the boys took to her right off as they are excellent judges of character. Our semiferal girl did her usual hiding thing, but that was to be expected. Kelly knew to limit the interaction for the short time we were away and luckily Scarlett got to eat, which was perfect. I loved getting the feedback, pictures, and updates on them and it put my mind at ease to know how well they were cared for.

Kaitlyn was wonderful with both my loved ones. They both took right to her. Kaitlyn didn't hesitate to ask for clarification, when needed. This made me feel more comfortable and realized how much she cares. I couldn't ask for a better critter sitter.

Rebecka was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful and attentive to my cat while we were out of town - she gave her so much love and playtime, gave really awesome update notes, and checked in about her bathroom habits when some anxiety kept her from using her litter box the first day (just a show of how considerate and thorough she is). She also vacuumed when my cat made a mess in the litter box- so not necessary, but really sweet! I would absolutely recommend Rebecka to anyone looking for a Rover sitter and will definitely be contacting her again for future cat sitting. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for trying to coax my nervous kitty out of hiding! Peace of mind to know she wasn't alone, even if she tried her best to be.

Genevieve provided outstanding care to our cat Kiki! She was very perceptive of his needs, learned his personality quickly and sent many photos and video (which gave us a worry free vacation). She has a true gift with animals, and we are grateful to have met her! We came home to a very happy and relaxed kitty. She also helped by taking in packages and vacuuming, it felt great to come home to a happy cat and clean home! We highly recommend her and hope she will care for Kiki again!

Virginia is truly wonderful. I left a bad key for the house but she stuck with it until she got in. She sent me updates with pics and videos; it made me so happy to see Mavis while I was away. Virginia played with her each visit and they bonded and became pals. I’m going to book Virginia again and I strongly recommend her to everyone. 🙏🏽

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for almost 10 years. I have both fostered and owned animals as well as watched other animals. I have owned my dog since she was a puppy, so I have experience with younger dogs. I have helped family friends with their older dogs who need help moving around and cannot stay home alone. I have also long term fostered a special needs dog. I’m currently a full time graduate student at MCPHS in Worcester. I am available for in home pet sitting during the week, however I do have classes full time so my ability to check in during the day may be dependent on the distance between your home and my school. During my previous time pet sitting I have stayed at the owner’s home as well as done 2-3 times a day check ins. When doing these I play by house rules. Crating a dog is not a problem as that is what I do with my own. I have pet sat for people who do and do not crate their animals.

About: I am home full-time, so I can give your pet my full, undivided attention. I have hands-on experience in pet care, including two years working at a doggy daycare, as well as caring for dogs and cats since I was young. I will do everything I can to ensure your furry friends feel happy, comfortable, and safe while in my care. 🐾 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I take walks every morning and afternoon and would love to have your dog join me. Since I am home all day, your pet will always have my full, undivided attention. I always start by gently building trust with your pet, letting them feel comfortable and secure at their own pace. Once they’ve warmed up, they’re welcome to explore my home freely. I have a variety of cat and dog toys so every pet feels at home. My home is calm, quiet, and full of positive energy. If I ever need to step out briefly, your dog will relax in a cozy crate with soft blankets, fresh water, and a peanut-butter-filled Kong, making it a safe and comforting space while you’re away.

Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my cat, Meelo! She took such great care of him while I was away, stopping by every day to feed him, clean his litter, and make sure he was doing well. I really appreciated the frequent updates and adorable pictures she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she watches, and I would absolutely book her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Maya did a wonderful job taking care of my Lily. She sent lots of pictures and her updates were very informative. She also gave her meds, which Lily did not make easy, but she got it done. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Lily was well taken care of. I cannot give her enough stars!! I would book her again!!

Genuine animal lover who treats your pets like my own. I am a graduate student who doubles as a bartender. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to drop in and look after your pet or to step away to take them for a walk. I create a safe, calm environment by following routines, securing spaces, supervising closely, and giving attentive, trustworthy care tailored to each pet’s needs in your home or mine.

Did a great job cat sitting for me over the holidays. Handled my difficult cats very well! One of them needs diet food (and is aggressive) and one of them needs medication. Everyone got what they needed and there was no puking or extreme anxiety, like there sometimes can be. Thanks!

About: For nearly a decade, I have been bonding with animals. When I was around 10 years old, my mom took two cats home who I instantly fell in love with. I not only help meet their basic needs, I go above and beyond to ensure that they feel loved and have opportunities to play every day. Aside from my own, I have always felt such a strong connection with animals of all kinds. I am the first one to pet the puppy at a party. I am the happiest when I am around animals. I am a college student with availability for pet care on weekdays in the afternoon/evening. I am available for walks and drop-in visits on Mondays/Fridays after 3pm, Tuesdays/Thursdays after 2pm and Wednesdays after 5pm. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by stopping by for drop-in visits consisting of letting them outside for the bathroom, feeding and refilling water bowls, playing, and cuddling. I am also available to take pets on walks.

Tara was amazing! She came to my home to care for my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She followed all of my instructions carefully and kept in touch with updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. When I got back, both cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I can tell they really liked her! I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely book her again in the future.
