“Jillian truly went above and beyond for us this week! We needed someone last minute to check in on our puppy, Winston, twice a day for three days, and she made the entire experience seamless. From our first phone call, she immediately eased my stress and assured me that she was more than happy to care for Winston in the way we needed. Throughout the week, she sent us updates and pictures, gave Winston plenty of time to go potty, and stayed to play with him and give him attention afterward. She was also incredibly thoughtful—she left everything neatly organized and even shared observations about Winston’s behavior that were helpful to us as new puppy parents. Every time my partner came home, Winston seemed happy, relaxed, and completely at ease, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s very clear that Jillian genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, while also understanding how important it is to make their owners feel comfortable and confident that their pup is in good hands. We would absolutely hire Jillian again and are so glad Winston now has someone we trust and who cares for him so well. Thank you again, Jillian”

About: I have dog sat for friends when they're out of town. I have watched my mom's cat for her whole life too. I love animals, I love playing with them, I love the excuse to get out for a walk, I love sitting with them, I love talking to them like they can understand what I'm saying. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with animals and care for them deeply. I work from home and have the flexibility to leave for a walk or run an errand whenever I need to. So if that means a 3 pm walk for your pup or a morning and evening feeding time for your pet, I'm here! I have a fenced in back yard, fenced in front balcony, and enclosed spaces throughout my home. I also have an open floor plan on the main level where I would feed your pet and hang out them mostly.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover, owner, and proud professional pet spoiler! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for many different animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits and even horses, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether your pup is full of energy, your cat is a little particular, or your pet just needs some extra patience and reassurance, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I have a special soft spot for animals who need a little extra time to trust, and I’ve earned the confidence of many shy and nervous animals through patience, kindness, and consistency. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood while their people are away. Along with plenty of snuggles, playtime, and walks, you can count on me to be dependable, punctual, respectful of your home, and attentive to your pet’s routine. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. 🐶🐱 Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! I have my own cat, Tigger, who keeps me on a very important schedule — he makes sure I’m awake bright and early at 5 AM for breakfast and reminds me right on time when dinner is approaching. 🐱 Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, playtime preferences, and any special care your pet may need. I believe the little details matter — from making sure they have a clean space and fresh water to giving them the attention and affection they’re used to receiving. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own. You can count on me to be responsible, tidy, communicative, and attentive while making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship, enrichment, and love. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to make pet care a meaningful part of my day and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾

About: Hi! I’m Erika, a longtime pet sitter and pet owner! I have a 6 year old cat named Trista and a 4 year old betta fish named DJ Pauly D. I have experience sitting dogs, cats, and fish. I am certified in first aid and cpr and have experience with aging and chronically ill pets. I work remotely 4 out of 5 days a week which allows a very flexible schedule. Happy to drop in 2-5 times a day depending on your pets needs. Preference for areas that are metro accessible! I feel the most peace of mind when I know that my pet is being watched by someone who makes the disruption to their routine as minimal as possible. I hope to bring that same feeling to all pet parents who trust me with their fur babies.

Sarah has consistently been great in taking care of Lily even in times she has needed extra special care instructions if she was sick. I'm glad Sarah has been available to give Lil extra care and attention when I couldn't be there. I certainly will continue requesting Sarah's rover services in the future! Your pet will love her as much as Lil does!

Five stars isn’t enough for Sarah. She’s fast to respond, incredibly kind, and takes phenomenal care of our pets. Her updates are detailed and reassuring, and both of our extremely shy and skittish cats are completely comfortable with her. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. If you need a sitter who’s dependable and amazing, Sarah is it.

Hera was amazing to work with, I had an unexpected work trip and needed to book drop in visits the same day and the day after. Hera accepted the booking request super fast and asked questions to make sure we were aligned on what she needed to do. She sent me great photos of Milo and I felt totally comfortable with her. Will definitely book with her again!

Hannah came by twice daily to care for my senior cat while I was away for 5 days. She gave me detailed notes on each visit, checked in on my preference for any questions she had or instructions that could be up for interpretation, and took lots of photos as well. I really appreciated how she was reliable and made me feel my cat was in good hands.
