Megan was a great communicator and did a wonderful job taking care of our cat for multiple days while we were out of town. She even went above and beyond and watered our plants when it became unseasonably hot while we were away. Would totally recommend her!

Liv was amazing. My boy is weird with new people and she was excellent about meeting him! She even made a point to play fetch with him and ensure he was eating while I was away. 10/10 recommend her!!! She will absolutely be my first call next time I go away!

I'm so grateful to have met Leslie. I finally feel like I can travel without either bringing Tiger or worrying the entire time I'm away. She was fantastic with him and I will not hesitate to use her again.

About: I've worked in vet med for over four years. I've owned animals my whole life and currently have four of my own critters (one dog and three kitties). I currently work part time while going to school. My schedule is a bit different every day of the week, so please let me know what you need and we can make a plan! I have a ton of experience with cats and dogs, both in my personal life and my professional life. Because I'm an experienced vet tech, I'll be able to recognize any concerning signs with your pets while you're away, and I'm trained to give medications if needed (oral, topical/ears, injectable).

Wonderful dog sitter! Would highly recommend & use again. Julia took great care of our senior dog, gave medications, treats, time outside, & lots of love for him and our cat. She sent updates & pictures multiple times per day. It was a relief knowing my fur-baby was well cared for when we were away. And she booked with us very last minute, which we appreciated so much. Thank you again, Julia!

About: With 15 years of hands-on pet care experience—including a decade caring for a cat with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH) and an elderly dog who required specialized support—I’m comfortable meeting a wide range of pet needs. I provide reliable, attentive care such as walks, feeding, playtime, and close adherence to established routines. These experiences have shaped me into a patient, compassionate, and dependable sitter who truly treats every pet like my own. I work from home in a flexible position, allowing me to adjust my schedule around both my own pets and the pets I care for through Rover. Being home throughout the day means your pet will receive consistent supervision, timely walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship—never long stretches alone. I care for pets in my home by keeping their routines as normal as possible with regular meals, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel safe and at home.

Cassidy has cared for our cats twice, and has done an excellent job each time. She’s very responsive, checks in often and sends us pictures of our fur babies when we’re away. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.

About: I am a certified veterinary technician with over a decade of experience in the field. I have been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years and have been pet sitting for almost just as long. From XS-XXL, I am comfortable providing care to all! I am able to provide basic care services to high level care (handicapped and special needs patients) for any age range. I am also comfortable administering prescribed medications to pets, including injectable medications. I am able to make almost any schedule work, early mornings and late evenings are not a problem for me— I know having a routine can be very important! I do not plan on pet sitting at my home, but in the event that I do, I do have a fenced in yard that has a separate entrance to my home.

Myranda was a life saver! She helped us out when we unexpectedly needed to find someone to take our puggles out for their mid-day break, and she was great! Great communication, and she shared photos while she was with them that made our day. Highly recommend!

Very kind and caring sitter. Was able to check up on our pups at requested times. Sent us plenty of photos and checked in with us regularly. She was willing to take the time for our one pup to get to know her.(he is defensive towards new people and has to warm up to people). And she was able to book our requested days literally last moment when our boarding situation fell through. Will gladly say we will be scheduling more with her in the future.!
