Cassandra was wonderful with Russell and sent lots of pictures of my kitty looking happy with lots of pets! This is the happiest he’s been in visit photos and Cassandra was very flexible and communicative. It was great having her watch him while I was on vacation! I would highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful experience with Annie! She took amazing care of our two cats and kept us updated with lots of photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She even cleaned up after one of our cats which we truly appreciated — going above and beyond what we expected. I would highly recommend Annie and we will absolutely be booking with her again!

She did great! My dog, who’s a little hit or miss with meeting new people, went happily up to her instantly. She was able to be flexible with my booking needs and my pet was well cared for during the time that I was away. Thank you!

Alli took great care of our cat Sally. She followed all of our instructions for feeding/playing and we could really see that she really enjoyed spending time with Sally. It really was a great relief during our vacation to know that our cat was taken care of. Will definitely book again in the future 😊

About: I’ve always loved animals, and since the age of 11 I’ve been trusted to care for the dogs and cats of family friends and neighbors. Over the years I’ve continued pet sitting on and off, gaining experience with pets of different personalities, ages, and needs. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy and secure. I work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m usually available all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but typically unavailable on Thursdays. When caring for pets, I try to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions for feeding, litter box or potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and a calm environment while their owner is away. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything clean and tidy, and I’m happy to send updates or photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I may no longer have any pets of my own, so let me show yours some love! I was raised with several family dogs that I independently took care of as early as 6 years old. I excel in comforting older dogs and cats, as I cared for my own senior dogs through to the end of their lives. I have experience caring for all types of pets - including guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, snakes, turtles, and birds! I'm a recent graduate searching for full-time opportunities. In the meantime, my schedule is completely flexible, meaning I can make my whole day all about your pet! I know first-hand how stressful traveling can be on pets. I love getting to know a pet and their creature comforts before this stress presents - from their favorite spot to stop and sniff on a walk, to the most motivational treats, and even their bedtime.

Kevin was so great! It was my first time using Rover so I was understandably a bit nervous, but Kevin took great care of my little kitty with lots of fun photos from their time together and entertaining check in summaries. It was such a weight off my shoulders knowing he was there to feed and check in on her. Would absolutely use his services again!

About: I have cared for family members’ dogs, friends’ dogs and cats, and have lived with pets throughout my life. I believe in leading with love and enjoying every minute you get to spend with four-legged friends! I am very flexible with scheduling right now, but primarily petsit over weekends (including long weekends) with visits throughout the week. I am always willing to work with you to find the best best schedule for both of us! I approach caring for other people’s pets just as I would approach caring for my own — lead with love and follow a pet parent’s instructions ❤️ ALWAYS respect a pet's boundaries and spaces - you're in their home after all!

About: I grew up taking care of my dog and a bunch of family friend’s dogs. I have dealt with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have spent a lot of time with dogs that are smaller sizes, but I recently have spent more time with larger size dogs. All are welcome and I love spending time with dogs that either want to play or want to just nap on the couch with me. I’ve dealt with senior dogs that need medication or medication for their skin. I have dealt with dogs that need special dietary plans with supplements. I can help wherever you need me! My schedule right now is pretty flexible with Wednesday being the only day I have to go into the office for work. I am open to working Wednesday night if needed, but I won’t be able to get your place until after 6pm. I like to take care of the house like my own if I am staying with your animals. I like to keep the area tidy and plan to clean up any messes made by myself or your pet. I will make sure to listen to any concerns you have with your pet and will watch them while they are outside. My goal is to have clear communication so you are at ease about me pet sitting!

Molly did a wonderful job taking care of my babies. I felt so relaxing and relieved, knowing that they were in such great hands. Molly was very communicative the whole way through. She went above and beyond bringing in some of my packages and also offering to help clean the litter box area. Molly is a delight and I am so glad to have found her :) totally plan on having Molly take care of my babies again.

She was always online and I wasn’t worried, when I left my cat with her. Definitely will book her service again! Highly recommended Viktoriia, if you want to get the best care for your pet!

Cory does a super job with 2x daily drop in visits with Ash our 14 year old cat. Ash bonded with Cory immediately and happily engages with him during visits. Recently, we had to suddenly travel out of town. Cory was able to care for Ash at the last minute which was very much appreciated. We rate Cory 5+ stars!
