“Joey was absolutely wonderful taking care of my cat, Meelo, while I was away. She did stop in visits, made sure he was fed, and spent time playing with him so he stayed happy and comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was getting attention and care while I was gone. Joey was reliable, kind, and clearly great with animals. I’m so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter! I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💛”

About: I genuinely love animals and have spent years building hands-on experience with a wide range of species, temperaments, and care needs. I grew up surrounded by dogs, along with a bunny and a bird, which gave me an early understanding of how different animals communicate, behave, and require individualized care. I too am a pet parent to a 6 year old hound/ lab mix, named Wynonna! I am comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life. I have experience with energetic puppies who need structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler, more attentive approach, including mobility support and close monitoring for health changes. I also have experience caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, independence, and subtle communication styles. At the moment I am extremely flexible. I have been working in corporate America for over 10 years, however now my only focus is on being your trusted sitter! I focus on providing safe, consistent, and compassionate care. I’m happy to provide periodic updates and photos so you can feel confident and comfortable while your pets are in my care!
“This was the first time I contracted with Jennifer to watch my two male cats while I was out of town. Jennifer quickly observed their routine which included crushing a pill in one of the cat's food and making sure he finished all the medicine. She was wonderful and gave my cats many head pats during her visits. I appreciated the many pictures she sent during her time with them. Jennifer is very conscientious in her responsibilities as a pet sitter. i would use her again.”
About: I have had cats and have taken care of them since I was eight years old, and have spent time with dogs, but don't have any of my own. But I am looking forward to meeting yours. I work part time, usually at night and usually on weekends, I am pretty flexible on weekdays and can take care of your pet in the mornings or afternoons. I feed and clean up after my cat at home. If I am walking a dog then I am comfortable running or going at any pace.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats of all ages and personalities since I was a kid. I have a golden retriever niece and have fostered cats for years. My main goal is to keep your pets happy and healthy! I work part time and often from home so I have flexibility during the day and at nights on most days of the week. Weekends may vary. My main priority is keeping your pets happy and safe. I respect boundaries and understand the trust necessary to feel comfortable with giving walkers access to your home and pets.
“Chelsea is phenomenal! She was so great with our high energy pup and was super attentive to her needs, asked all the necessary questions during our initial meet and greet. I loved that our pets seemed to feel at ease with her. The visit photos were a treat. Thank you so much for your time and care, Chelsea!”

“Mouse had a fantastic time with Rachel — he was treated like the tiny prince that he is. He spent time with her hanging out in the sun on the deck, exploring the backyard, and making himself comfortable on her lap. When it was time for her to leave he didn’t want to budge from her lap, and he doesn’t warm up to people easily like that! She sent plenty of pics and updated me on his activities. I’ll happily book Rachel again anytime!”

“Sara was an outstanding sitter.She took such care with our geriatric cat, spending quality time with him and making sure he had plenty of attention while we were away. She was incredibly communicative and thorough and sent such beautiful photos of our cat! I cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

“Jessica was so fantastic to work with and so great with our two dogs. She was very communicative on our drop in visits, perfectly on-time, and really wonderful with the dogs. Can’t wait to work with her again”

“Thanks so much! I didn’t worry about Jack at all! I knew he was in good hands. Again I apologize for the disarray of my apartment. I am sick (nothing contagious) and some days are better than others. Thanks for all you did! Jack’s not even yelling at me like he does when I first get home.😎😂”

“Nat provided peace of mind while we were out of town for a weekend away. It was comforting to know that someone was able to swing by our home and check on our two cats. She responded quickly to my inquiry and made sure to send photos along to us 😊”

“Lucy is awesome, I highly recommend! She took care of my cat Apollo while I was away - you can tell she really cares about the pets she cares for, and gives extremely detailed updates on her visits. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

“I had a great experience with Brittany. She was responsive, kept me updated throughout each visit, and sent photos so I always knew my cats were doing well. She was attentive to instructions. I’d book with her again.”

“Briana took great care of my two bunnies and one cat on relatively short notice. I was relieved to find someone with bunny experience that would do in-house visits, and she put me completely at ease. My cat's usually a scaredy cat when it comes to strangers, but Briana managed to befriend her and get heartwarming pictures of her getting pets and inspecting the camera :) We were new to Rover and Briana made the experience so easy and rewarding.”

Georgina did a wonderful job taking care of our kitties! She sent us a report every day of how things went and also sent great photos. Our cats our shy but they went to greet Georgina at the door. She took the time to play with our cats and was patient when they were being shy. I highly recommend Georgina and would definitely hire her to take care of our cats in the future!

Julia did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure the cats (and our home!) were comfortable and clean. She took initiative to adjust the A/C and fans to keep the space comfortable, cleaned up not just the food dishes and litter boxes, but also a surprise hairball, and even swept the floor. Her updates were thorough and reassuring, with sweet touches like hiding toys and checking in on how much each cat ate—she clearly paid close attention to their individual personalities and needs. Julia was communicative, responsible, and kind—and her love for cats really shows. I'm so grateful this was our first experience with her and would absolutely recommend her to others!
