“Isabella was great! Even my shy guy fraidy cat hung out with her and absolutely loved her. She took great care of our pets and our home while we were away and provided timely updates as promised to help us miss our babies slightly less. Would absolutely hire again and recommend to others.”
“Paloma was on time for every visit with my kitty! Making sure that she was seen twice a day for her medicine and food. When my cat was difficult about taking her pill, Paloma found a great workaround to get her to take it. She sent many pictures after each visit and spent their time doing what my cat wanted in that moment. I would highly recommend Paloma! I can home to a happy and healthy kitty.”
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)
About: With 30 years in pet care and 49 years of animal ownership, I bring a deep love for animals to every client. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I volunteer and intern with a wildlife rehabilitator. From dogs to birds, bunnies, hamsters, and more, I’ve cared for them all—in-home and in clients’ homes—delivering compassionate, personalized pet care. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the time and dedication to care for your pet or pets either in my home or in your home. Your pet(s) are welcome to stay in my home, a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment, or I can care for them in your own home—whichever you prefer. They will receive the utmost love and care, which they deserve while you are away.
“Keelyn took wonderful care of my cat, Ollie. We received updates and several pictures every day. He can be a little nervous around new people and he was comfortable with her immediately. Will be reaching out again in the future :)”
“Fatimah is *the* textbook example of who you need to take care of your beloveds when planning to travel. One word describes her: INCOMPARABLE. She went above and beyond in all ways. In the event that we didn’t make it back from our vacation (I know morbid, however, there’s a point) I would RIP knowing they were in Fatimah’s care ?? Don’t hesitate to hire her- you have chosen the best!”
“Caroline was wonderful and took amazing care of our two cats during a trip away. Caroline was timely and most of all our pets loved her! She went above and beyond by doing a few things that weren’t on our wish list too. Highly recommend!”
“Cassie was wonderful for our beloved Howard! She took such good care of him while we were away, gave him all the love and attention he needed, good walks and was very attentive to his senior dog needs. Thank you so much Cassie!”
“Took very good care of my two cats while on vacation for a week. Got daily photos and updates and always very easy to reach. I ran out of cat food and she was kind enough to run to the store to grab some more. Will use her again for our next vacation!”
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”

If you prefer to provide instructions for your pets, I will follow them. You will receive a lot of pictures and videos of your fur babies as well.
“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with the cats and they are very happy! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter! She is kind and genuinely cares about animals and that shines through and was the reason I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care!”
“Ida was a great sitter!! She checked in on every visit, kept me updated throughout my time away, was on time, punctual and took great care of my cat, Gia. She was also able to administer medications and kept me in the loop with my cats health issues. I would recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I've lived with cats my whole life and I love dogs too. I regularly walk many miles per day and can walk a dog any distance needed, and have no issue with walking larger dogs. I can't help but call any cat or dog 'buddy' when I see them. I am home most days working on my business so I have very flexible hours. I don't mind walking in the rain or snow. I'm currently working on building my own businesses and have very flexible hours during the day. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate pet care. I have two cats at home so I can't really take care of pets in my own home but I am happy to take care of a pet in their own home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, aquatic, and more. I’m an animal lover of all kind. If you have multiple animals or different species at your house, don’t worry I’m totally fine with this! I have experience with special needs dogs, high energy animals, deaf dogs, puppies, and senior dogs as well. I would love to be a special part of your animal’s day to take them out for some fresh air, play with them, feed them, refill their water bowls, and any other needs or requests that the pet parent is wanting! I am available for pet care in afternoons and evenings and sometimes really early in the morning if there is a need for that as well I very easily follow any special directions you have for your animals so they are cared for properly. I know what to do and am easy to communicate with and respond in a timely manner

Abby was so incredible when she arrived to check on our cats and found one with an injury. Immediate contact, clear photos and description to help us make decisions remotely, and took great care doctoring and keeping us in the loop until we got home. It is such a great feeling to have someone you trust completely with your furballs, and have them happy too. And for the record- everything was fine thanks to her extra care. 20/10 highly recommend!

Leslie was wonderful caring for our two senior cats while we were away. Each cat has a distinct personality - one is shy and timid while the other is gregarious and outgoing. The daily briefings and multiple photos Leslie provided for each visit ( 2 daily) assured us they were being visited / fed as scheduled,scooped and played with. She also doesn't mind inhome security cameras which is important to us for checking on our seniors. It was a great feeling to travel without worry, we most definitely will be calling Leslie for future needs.
