“Kay was a wonderful sitter for my three cats for my last minute trip out of town. The photos and notes she left in her reports made it obvious she was paying attention to each of their very different personalities and preferences and that even my very human-selective older cat was comfortable with her. If she is available, I will absolutely hire her again.”

“Jasmine was great! She was not able to find my cat all of the time but she still sent pictures showing she was dropping in and tried very hard to catch my cat on camera. She even did the litter box even though I forgot to put that on the instructions.”

“Nick’s care and communication have been absolutely phenomenal, and I truly appreciated it. I could tell Sebastian felt well loved and cared for through the pictures that he sent during my time away! This was my first time using Rover, and I'm sold. I'll definitely keep Nick in mind as I travel frequently, and we've had some family shifts so care is not always as readily available.”


About: I'll love your babies like they're my own. Have done plenty of pet sitting and pet care. Tell me your pet's needs and I'll do all I can to make them comfortable while you're away! I work full time currently and will transition to full time student in Fall 2026. I'll have more flexibility when I return to school but for the summer, I'll be able to help you out on evenings and weekends. Happy to do overnight stays with early AM care and PM care after 5p. Please provide detailed instructions about how I can care for your pet(s). If I have questions or cannot meet their needs, I will communicate with you to ensure I am the right fit.
“Fergus (our cat) loves Virginia. He never purrs for anyone the way he purrs for her. When we got home today after being away for several days, my husband heard Fergus meowing through the door before we entered and said to me, "I pretty sure he's meowing 'Virginia! Virginia!' He's going to be so disappointed that it's us!" Virginia is great with Fergus, very kind to us, and has been just a perfect pet sitter.”

“Heather was very responsive and communicative. She took great care of our cat, followed all our instructions and is the first pet-sitter he came out for. She was very respectful of our house. We would definitely rebook with Heather again!”


“This was our first time having Jeffrey do drop ins for our three wild kids and he was AMAZING! Great communication, super professional, loved on our doggos just like we would!”

“Holland is an excellent, professional, and communicative sitter. She went the extra mile, and on short notice, and I would rebook and recommend her services to anyone.”

“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”

About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!

“Erin was such a reliable and attentive cat sitter! I was relieved to see her details and specifics of the boys behavior with drop in visit notes. It helped me know my boys were in great hands. Thank you again Erin!!!!”

“Jessica was fantastic with providing clear communication, including updates, photos, and how our pupper was doing! Very pleasant experience and would recommend/have again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on professional experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I previously worked at a kennel-free dog boarding facility, where I helped care for multiple dogs at once in a safe, supervised environment. I’ve also worked as a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, providing daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and lots of attention and playtime. Animals have always been part of my life—I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and currently care for my own pets as well. Because of my background in both professional animal care and customer service, I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. What you can expect when your pet is with me: • Reliable, on-time care • Regular photo and text updates • Safe handling for dogs with different temperaments • Experience with multi-dog households • Lots of attention, enrichment, and play Whether your dog needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits while you’re away, or extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! I work a hybrid office jobs with very flexible hours. When I do go into the office, my office is dog friendly so I can bring a furry friend along if they enjoy the socialization! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. During visits, I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or just companionship. I also make sure basics like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and litter boxes are taken care of. For dog walks, I focus on safe handling, appropriate exercise for your dog’s energy level, and making sure they return home happy and settled. I always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while keeping you informed and at ease.
“Le’Yana has twice provided excellent care for our animals. She is communicative and reliable. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for quality petcare!”

“Alyssa was great with my cat, who experiences separation anxiety. She did a wonderful job and sent me pics of my kitty getting skritches. I appreciate her care.”

“Maggie is so kind and wonderful with my two cats. She’s so thoughtful and detail oriented and I really appreciated her help while we were away. Maggie is a great rover!”

Jacob really puts in the work to make sure our animals are taken care of and to keep us informed on how they're doing while we're away. This was our second time booking his service and we'll very likely reach out to him again when we have more travel plans in the future. We highly recommend his service to anyone who wants to be sure their animals are being looked after by someone who truly cares about their well being.

We asked Grace to check in on our crazy orange cat a few times while we were out of town pretty last-minute, and she exceeded all expectations! She sent lots of pictures and gave great summaries each time she visited. Our cat hates to be alone for too long, and it was such a relief to know that Grace was giving her some much-needed love and attention! We'd definitely use Grace's services again in the future.
Absolutely amazing! My dog is not always good with strangers but she loved them immediately. They were so great with her. They responded to messages quickly and listened to any pet requests. It was a 20/10 experience. I’d 100% recommend them to anyone who needs their pet watched or walked. They’re amazing people!

My Leah always takes some time getting comfortable with people. That said, Le’Yana listened and used all my tricks and suggestions to help Leah become at ease with her visits. I can always tell when Leah is happy with her visit by her behavior when I get home…and Leah is happy! Le’Yana has been a joy and I receive lots of pics and updates🙂

Emma was great! She took excellent care of our two cats. She got to know each of them, their specific behaviors and catered to them. Emma was communicative and gave us detailed information about how they were doing. We felt very comfortable being far away with our cats in Emma’s care. Thank you!

Emily was amazing! She was very communicative and FaceTimed with us before we left to make us comfortable. She sent us great pictures and was able to get our very shy cat to love her. Highly recommend if you want someone to care about your cats like they are their own!
Joy is such a wonderful pet sitter! I was so relieved when joy accepted to pet drop in on my hound and cats. Very attentive and responsive. Loves spending time with animals and is a comfort to have looking after your pets! Perfectly on time and doesn't over stay. I trust her 100% with my fur babies. Absolutely will be booking again!
