Tingting was a great cat sitter and I'd highly recommend her! She did drop-ins for my 2 cats, and she was very communicative and sent many pictures during her visit. She fed them, played with them, gave them treats, and maintained the water fountain which covered all their needs. My cats seemed to like her!

As usual Shao is the best! She dropped by to spend time with ozzy while I worked a very long shift. She walked, fed, gave his medicine, comforted and spent time with him. Ozzy is my senior dog that requires very specific care and she always does the best job taking care of him just as I would do. Shao always updates me consistently with photos and videos of what they’re up to, Ozzy always looks genuinely happy and comfortable, which is so so important because he gets very bad anxiety. Whenever I get home after Shao dropped by he always looks very peaceful and rested. Thank you Shao! Highly recommend!

Sarah did drop in visits to provide my pup with sub cutaneous fluids each day I was out of town. I had already scheduled a sitter who was a great fit for us but wasn’t comfortable with giving my girl fluids. Anyway, Sarah to the rescue! She made me feel so comfortable that my senior pup with special needs was in good hands! I would definitely book her again for any service!

About: I'm a dog lover looking to take care of community pets to ensure that they're dogs are taken care of like how I was able to care for my own dog. I have owned my own pets, including a dog for over 16 years. I am a responsible person who enjoys the presence of animals and will ensure that your dog (or cat) is being taken care of with the utmost care. I can host your pet at my house or sit at your house, whichever is more comfortable for your pet. I am also available to drop in and take your pet out for a walk, play, and socialize so they don't get lonely. I do request that dog boarding requests be discussed with me 48 hours prior to drop off date so that I can make sure that I am available and can accommodate your pet and their needs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

I don’t normally leave reviews unless I feel very propelled by something that matters to me. I’ve got to say Elba is the most amazing dog sitter I have ever worked with, and I feel very lucky to have found her here. My dog is a little sensitive senior, and he absolutely loves Elba. I would have given her 10 out of 10 ⭐️ if I could. I could list so many important, great qualities about her, from her soft skills and “customer service” to her passion and love for my baby, which become clear in my dog’s behavior after spending time with Elba. She is intuitive, smart, ethical, kind, knowledgeable in her work, and has communicated with my dog in ways that really fascinated me multiple times. She is the definition going above and beyond! I can think of examples for every words I used to describe her. If you get lucky enough to book her services, you can be sure your baby will be in good, caring hands 😇

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog lover my entire life, growing up with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who was an integral part of our family. I spent countless hours with my childhood dog, teaching her new tricks, making up games, and cuddling. Through years of hands-on care, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dogs’ needs, personalities, and routines, especially for affectionate, companion breeds that thrive on attention and consistency. I’m experienced in providing attentive, reliable care through both walks and drop-in visits for both young and adult dogs. I'm typically available in the mornings and early afternoons, and love going for long daily walks. I'm also happy to play with your dog at home, or simply provide companionship. I understand how important it is to maintain a dog’s routine, whether that means on-time feedings, bathroom breaks, exercise/outdoors time, or giving them lots of love and snuggles. I’m very comfortable with leash walking and dog park visits, adjusting pace and activity level based on each dog’s age, energy, and temperament. I'm also comfortable with brushing/light grooming and administering medications. I’m highly communicative and love snapping adorable photos, which I will always send your way. I make it a priority to provide updates so that you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am currently working part-time, so my availability is typically in the morning and early afternoon (7am - 2pm) on week days. I'm also available on weekends with varied availability (check my calendar!). I like to take the time to meet each owner and pet before the sitting/walking to learn about their individual personalities and how to care for them. It's very helpful when owners share a document or print out their care instructions/daily schedule, so I can follow as close to their usual routine.

About: I have my own cat as well as fostered dogs for a rescue. I love all animals and also have experience taking care of fresh water aquariums (I have a 20 gallon myself) and small rodents (in personal and professional capacity). I'm just starting out on Rover, so my rates are on the more affordable end. I work full time standard business hours, but I am happy to check on your pet before or after work. I am also available during weekends and on most holidays. I would love to take your puppy on a nice walk or have a play session. With cats, they dictate the terms of our friendship. We can have a blast with a wand toy, snuggle, have a Churru moment, or I can just take care of the feeding and cleaning if the kitty is not friendly.

About: I grew up around dogs and currently work part-time at a dog grooming spa, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through grooming work, I’ve learned how important patience, gentle handling, cleanliness, and reading a dog’s body language can be. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and personality. Some dogs need calm reassurance, some need more exercise, and some simply need a quiet, reliable person to keep them company. I do my best to provide safe, attentive care that matches each pet’s needs while helping them feel comfortable and loved. I also have experience caring for senior pets, pets with special routines, and pets who may need oral medication, basic coat care, or extra patience. I am currently a student and work part-time at a dog grooming spa, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I am available for select weekday and weekend care, and for weekday daycare, drop-off at my workplace may be available by arrangement. My schedule can vary, so I always confirm details in advance to make sure your pet gets safe, reliable care. I live in a single-family home with a fenced yard, and there is a nearby park with walking trails and a dog play area about a 5 minute walk away. Safety is always my priority, so I follow each pet’s routine carefully, keep dogs supervised, and use a leash for walks unless we have discussed otherwise. I also ask about food allergies, medical needs, triggers, and comfort around other pets before care begins.

Jie was a wonderful cat sitter! She stopped by to feed, scoop litter, and play with our two boys while we were away for a few days. She kept me well informed and updated and sent tons of pictures of her visits. It was so nice to have peace of mind while I was away and know my cats were well taken care of.

About: I've pet sat for family pets for a while - dogs, cats, and birds - and then just 2 years ago I started dog sitting for non-family members who I got recommended to (a total of 3 non-family member pets). Mostly my responsibilities were to walk (on and off leash), feed, play, and for some pups give medicine. Pretty basic stuff! I do also have a dog who we got as a puppy (he's about to be 5 in May 2026) so I have a little bit of experience there. The dogs I have taken care of have ranged in ages, I think the youngest (that was not my dog) was 7 years old and the oldest was 12 years old. No special skills or anything like that, but I won't pass up the opportunity to learn something new. I'm currently unemployed but have a full-time pre-apprenticeship program that starts May 11th, 2026 and ends in July 31st, 2026. Which will have me gone from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. Other than that, my schedule is open until then and after I finish. I assume that drop-ins will be most of what I can take on, or overnights if it's okay to be gone for that long during the day. But, as of March 2026-April 2026 I am pretty flexible. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to pet sit at my place since it's a full house. For every pet I've taken care of, I was in a house sitting situation, except for the most recent dog I've been walking who is okay to just be walked and fed. But, I totally understand the pets who need the company throughout the day/night. Each dog is super different and my goal is to adjust as best as I can to their needs!

Emily was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She took such great care of Louie while we were out of town for the week and treated him with so much gentleness and attention. She made sure he was well fed, comfortable, and clearly cared for, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she truly loves animals, and Louie was in great hands. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable cat sitter.

Jasmine (Jie) was a wonderful sitter for our cat. We booked 2 weeks of drop in visits while we were traveling and she went above and beyond. Our cat loved her and we could travel with a peace of mind since we knew she was taking good care of her. She is very attentive and also very responsive to messages. She would notice little details and changes in our cat and let us know immediately. We would love to keep working with Jasmine in the future!

Sandra took such proactive care of our cat Bo. Bo had thrown up twice during the time we were away. Sandra proactively informed us, went out of the way to ensure Bo was taken care of and even manually cleaned our sofa covers and the blanket and proactively put it in the laundry without us even asking once. She went above and beyond in many ways big and small - including putting the litter bags in the garbage bins outside the house despite us telling her it’s okay to leave it in the trash cans inside the house. This was our first time hiring Sandra but we really lucked out and she’s the only sitter we’ll hire again!

Jen continues to go above and beyond for Cloak. She's attentive, thoughtful, and shows so much love to him, and she's been a great communicator and very flexible with us. We've been able to take longer trips away thanks to her, and our normally anxious boy is so calm and normal when we get home now. When our plans have changed last minute, or when we have new needs and requests as our boy ages, Jen has been a joy to work with. Highly recommended!!
