“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to come and take care of my cat Chloe. Christa was sending me multiple photos and making sure that her little box was cleaned and food bowl was never low. She even brought her own cat brush and toys to play with her! I could tell Chloe was extremely happy when Christa arrived. I will be using Christa whenever I need someone to come take care of Chloe again❤️”
“Sam made leaving for a few days comfortable and easy. We initially connected via video call to explain accessing the apartment and where all of Alder’s things (toys, devices, food) were… the reports had plenty of cute pictures… I felt total confidence in and comfort with Sam. And Alder seemed happy!”
“I am so thankful I found Renee. She is kind and thoughtful and so attentive to our Basset puppy. Her visit summaries are very detailed and she takes several pictures to help me miss our pup less.”
“Davis was an amazing sitter while I was away! I had never left my cats for so long, so to have Davis be able to check in on them and send some updates along the way was so reassuring. She checked in with me during every visit and was so great with my kitties!”
“Baeli was terrific with our senior cat Ace. Baeli was very attentive to his needs and did a great job reporting on the visits. I felt safe having Baeli enter my home while I was away and I’m sure Ace appreciated their company.”
“Korin has a very gentle and patient manner with our shy girl. They were responsive and communicative throughout, and I would highly recommend them!”
“Heath is absolutely fantastic! They are super conscientious, kind, and wonderful about sending us photos and updates. Also, Heath has a way with animals, making them feel safe and cared for - our cat who is normally skittish around strangers turned into butter around them. We highly recommend Heath!!”
“Erin took amazing care of our cat, Freddie. We loved the daily photos and updates that she sent and looked forward to it each day. We so appreciated knowing Freddie was doing well while we were away. Erin also played with Freddie and sent fun videos of playtime. I can't recommend Erin highly enough. I will certainly reach out again next time we need pet care!”
“Rebecca was great with my cat Motek! She was very communicative. Motek is normally very shy with most people but loved Rebecca. Highly recommend.”
“Fiona is awesome! She met with us before our scheduled days and our two dogs loved her right away. She took so many pictures of our dogs while we were away and kept in close contact with us. We would highly recommend Fiona. Thank you to Rover for introducing us!”
“Natasha is great! She fed my pup who has several medications with his dinner and walked him after for a drop in visit. She even kindly washed his dish. Sounds like he gets excited to see her and I trust she will always come on time and take good care for my boy.”
“Katrina was very caring, attentive, and timely with our pups. She did a great job and I'd be happy to have her care for our dogs in the future!”
“Nicole was great! She was on time every time caring for our dogs for a week and really spent quality time with them! Would definitely recommend her!”
“Doggies were happy to see Meredith and get their dinner!”
About: I have been a cat owner for most of adult life but did dog sitting for my dog owning friends over the last 10-15 years. I love taking dogs for walks or down to the dog park and beaches that are dog friendly. I am available on Fridays from 5:30pm to Sunday evenings with the most flexibility. I work during the week but could do 30 minute walks before I leave for work on occasion and in the evening after 5:30 with notice and scheduling. I am available for walking dogs and visiting your home for feedings, play time. My cat can coexist with a dog if absolutely necessary but I prefer to come to your home for visits. I am not available to stay overnight at the moment.
About: Have many years of experience growing up in a home with cats and dogs, helping sit my friend’s and family’s dogs, and as a cat mom for 5 years. I recently finished my masters degree and now have a very flexible schedule as I look for my next opportunity! Very happy to accommodate different scheduling needs. Not able to bring your pets to my own home, but happy to hang with them at yours, take them out for long or short walks, and give them the love they deserve!
“Brittany was great and very flexible with the booking. My cat Finn doesn't warm up to new people very well but within 2 visits, he and Brittany were pretty much best friends. She sent updates, pictures, and gave me the confidence that she was taking great care of Finn.”
About: Since I was very little I have liked pets, I have always been affectionate and affectionate with them. I have always been responsive, sociable and very loving, I like to learn and I love challenges. Perfect, I don't see this as a job, rather it is a nice pastime to relieve stress and give love and affection to those who need it. It's a kind of therapy. I offer to be his caregiver, a friend to play with, feed him, take him for a walk, spoil him, among other things he needs.

Dana H.
“In terms of pet caregiver, Dana is one of the best! I have seen her with her cat and the care and love she provides Snowball is something to be admired. She is gentle, loving, kind, attentive and responsible. I have also seen how she is with my dog, a labrador retriever, and I would trust her completely with taking the best care of my best girl. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your beloved pet (cat, dog or otherwise) with anybody, but I 100% recommend Dana!!”

She is attentive to medical and dietary needs and I trust her with my own pets.”
