“I’m very happy that animal lovers like Eko and Sarah get to experience the joy that we often do with our dogs. Work requires a long commute for both my husband and I, and we worry about their need for potty breaks and being able to enjoy the day. I cannot express how truly grateful I am for their help in ensuring the well being of our dogs, our peace of mind, and the very modest rate they’re requesting to do so. While very relaxed in our request for help, Eko and Sarah were taking notes (literally) on what we hoped to achieve on their drop-ins, even exceeding requested times to ensure the welfare of our dogs. I thank them for this peace of mind, and I look forward to all the photos of future adventures they experience! (As my husband and I continue to work and “make that puppy food!”).”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received! Edith followed every direction I left perfectly and showed so much kindness and patience toward my quirky cat. It’s not easy to win him over, but she took the time to understand his personality and make him feel comfortable. I really appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter!”
About: I have taken care of pets and houses through TrustedHouseSitters since 2022. I have completed over 13 sits and have a 5 star rating. I have taken care of many cats and dogs of various ages and sizes, including golden retrievers, labs, Irish water spaniel, Yorkshire terriers, Maltese, pomeranians, Scottish terrier, Bichon/Poodle and mutts of many varieties. I respect a pet's schedule and aim to make them as comfortable as possible. I can handle reactive dogs while on walks. I can administer medications in pill or powder form if the pet is compliant. I love brushing animals if the pet is willing. Personally, I had 2 wonderful medium size dogs growing up. Sadie (German shephard and collie mix) and Mindy (collie and mystery mix) taught me compassion, patience and so many tricks. As an adult, I adopted my first cat in 2026. While I did not grow up in a cat family, if felt like a rite of passage as a librarian. I am thoroughly enjoying being a cat mom to an incredibly talkative and playful cat. He is very opinionated and craves human interaction. I work full time so I will typically only be available for overnights, walks or check-ins on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For cat check-ins, I may be able to accommodate weekdays depending on your location. I have taken care of animals in their own home for over 4 years. I like to follow owner instructions as closely as possible because it is will make the pet most comfortable. I always use caution when entering/exiting the home and while walking dogs.
“Alison was incredible! I knew from when she first met Nigiri that he would be in great hands. She was super timely, flexible with his feeding schedule, and always cuddled with him. I could easily tell from all the photos that he adored her right away. I hope there will be a time where Alison and Nigiri can hang out again soon!”
“I could not ask for a better dog sitter! Between the care, concern and communication ,I felt very comfortable leaving my fuzzy baby with Paul! I will definitely use him again. He’s very reliable!!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with years of pet sitting for friends and family, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 2 years and am now in veterinary school. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I have experience with medication administration, animal handling, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, but my biggest priority is making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I will be completing an internship, but I will be available on weekends for pet sitting. I also have availability in the evenings and on weekends for dog walks and drop-in visits, making it easy to provide consistent care around my schedule. For cat care, I am able to provide boarding in my home where I ensure a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. For dogs, I provide care in the client’s home, where I follow all instructions closely and respect the home as if it were my own. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel secure and well cared for.
“Lauren, Thank you for taking such good care of Tedy for me! I just dropped in to check on him and he is happy and so settled! Thanks for your extra efforts!! Much Appreciated!”
“Kelly has been caring for our cats when we travel for years now. They run right to her when she stops by to pick up the house key. Kelly sends several great pics of every visit, a daily delight. Upon returning home, we find the cats well fed and happy, and the house (& litter boxes) in good order. We are most grateful for her care. Highly recommend!”
“Evelina was awesome! We have an anxious pup who has a lot of energy. Avelina was informative, easy to communicate with, accessible, and genuinely seems to care for our girl. We will definitely be using her again in the future. We highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommend! Grace took great care of Reese over the long weekend, providing regular updates and making sure she was happy and well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands”
“Nicole was great with my cat Hallie! Hallie is a very sweet and loving cat, but also very skittish around strangers. In a few short days, Nicole was able to gain her trust and Hallie would hang out with her. Nicole was very quick with responding to messages, particularly when I had questions or concerns, especially when Hallie was found to have some health issues less than a week before I was going out of town. Hallie seemed much happier and more energetic when I came back than when I left. I attribute that to Nicole taking such great care of her.”
“Anna is a wonderful pet sitter. She has a ton of prior experience with dogs and genuinely seems to enjoy taking care of your pets. She’s reliable and timely with her visits and gives a great summary of her time with your pets. I highly recommend her.”
About: When it comes to pet care, what sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication and compassion, coupled with professional expertise in house training, senior care, medication administration, and regular photo updates, ensuring complete peace of mind for pet owners. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine as I prioritize early mornings, nights, and weekends for providing exceptional care. I am flexible with the amount of time dedicated to each pet, ensuring it aligns with the preferences of their owners. By closely following the parents’ established schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and medication, I strive to maintain consistency and cater to their pets’ needs. As I work full time, pet sitting allows me to indulge my passion while accommodating my professional commitments. Currently, I am unable to provide pet care services in my own home; however, I offer dedicated pet care in clients’ homes. When entering and exiting a clients’ home, I prioritize security by ensuring all doors are securely locked. Additionally, I take the time to check up on the pet periodically to ensure their safety and well-being. If there are any specific accommodations required for your pet, I am more then willing to discuss and make necessary arrangements.

Sunderland cat parents share their Rover experiences
Paulina is reliable, communicative, and gives us great peace of mind during her drop in visits. She always keeps us updated and makes sure our kitties are safe, comfortable, and eating well while we're away. We appreciate her care and attention to detail and we'll definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
The fact that they even saw my second cat (who hides from truly everyone) demonstrates their kindness and consistency with my animals. They are prompt and communicative, and can handle both my high energy puppy and my timid cats. Truly awesome to have folks I trust who can check in on the pets, would definitely recommend.
Katie took care of my cat George for a full week of drop-in visits, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She spent time actually playing with him (not just the basics), and it showed—George looked so happy and relaxed in all the updates she sent. Speaking of updates, Katie sent a ton of them, which I absolutely loved. It made being away so much easier knowing exactly how he was doing each day. She also went above and beyond by watering my plants, which I really appreciated. I would 100% book Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable pet sitter!
Evelina took such wonderful care of my cats, Alice and Noodle, while I was away. I could tell she really cared about them, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was thoughtful and attentive throughout and really went above and beyond, even helping with things around my home like cleaning up a plant that had spilled. That kind of care really meant a lot to me. I would absolutely trust Evelina with my cats again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and reliable.
Sara was amazing and my disabled cat loves her. She was so responsive and caring by keeping me timely informed on my fur babies progress while we were gone halfway around the world for over a month. I cannot recommend her more. She truly bonded and cared for my animals. Hire her!
Judy is incredible!!!! Our dog is very skittish around new people and takes a while to warm up. Judy was so patient and kind with her and was great about moving at our dog where she was at! She sent lots of updates and photos and gave our kitty lots of loving too!
