“Julie has started drop-ins with my pup, Atlas. Atlas seems really happy with how it’s going and I don’t have to worry about her. Julie always sends photos and lets me know how the visit went.”
2. Kelsey T.
“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our two pups while we were away. She was attentive, timely, and thoughtful. We will definitely book again!”
3. Kaitlin B.
“Kaitlin was great! She checked in on my cats for me twice while I was away. Cats are pretty independent, but still need some love and attention. She sent me pics of her playing with them which was great”
4. Felicia G.
“Felicia is always willing to work with me regarding scheduling, even when she is busy! I know I can trust her to give my pets any medication they need, so I can be at peace when I leave them in her care.”

“Thanks for your tender care of my fur baby”
6. Linda K.
“Linda was so good with our kitties. She did a great job with administering meds our cat and left really detailed notes with amazing pictures after each check in. She was attentive to our needs and the kitties needs. We will definitely use her services again. She even came to check in with our kitties during a big snow storm!!”
7. Janis C.
“Janis took such great care of our kitty - she was calm and gorgeous on our return. Janis understands cats and how to get them to come around and let themselves be taken care of by someone they don’t know. She also took excellent care of our leopard gecko. We highly recommend Janis and we will be hoping she is available again next time to care for our pets.”
8. Raven M.
“Wonderful experience with Raven! My girls are relatively shy and by the end of four days with Raven they were both accepting treats from her hand and accepting belly pets! She sent lots of pictures and detailed notes on how they were doing. Amazing cat sitter - highly recommend.”
9. Sarah L.
“Sarah was very attentive and careful while dealing with a very shy cat. She was easy to communicate with and showed a lot of care and concern for the well being of my cat. Would definitely recommend Sarah as a sitter.”
10. Kim M.
“Kim did a great job taking care of my cat during my time away! My cat seemed to be very comfortable with her and played a lot as evidenced by some great action photos.”
11. Noah B.
“Hi, I have used Noah Boddie on a few occassions to watch my cat, Snowee and I would like to say that Noah took great care of her. When he first met Snowee he was calm and sat on the floor to allow Snowee to approach him first and get to know him. Within minutes Snowee was rubbing against him and playing with Noah. He is a sweet gently giant and amazing with Snowee. He arrived on time, fed Snowee as instructed and cleaned the litter box. I felt very comfortable and trusted Noah in my home and with my cat. I plan on using him again.”
12. Victor F.
“Victor was wonderful and took amazing care of my cat while I was away. He communicated great, played a lot with her and sent lots of photos.”
13. Sarah N.
“Sarah has been a great sitter for our new puppy. She showed incredible patience when dealing with him and his hesitancy around new people. She has been consistently punctual and communicates regularly about how our puppy is doing.”
14. Bri D.
“Bri did a great job caring for my elderly kitty Oliver! She gave great updates and successfully gave him his pills. Would definitely book again!”

16. Thomas Riis H.
“Thomas took great care of our kitties. Made sure they had everything they needed and was very good with them. Sent great pictures of them playing, too. Will definitely use him again.”
17. Leo O.
“Leo was great with Hemingway and adapted well to his special needs (inhaler). He was punctual and communicative and I would definitely use him again!”
18. Erin C.
“I've known Erin both professionally and personally for sometime. She is smart, compassionate, organized, honest, and, best of all great, with animals. She is one of the people who helped me decide to adopt my "Roxie" from the Humane Rescue Alliance. Erin is great with Roxie (Pitt Bull/Boxer mix) who euphemistically can be called a "handful". I'm glad that Erin is going to be available through Rover.com to spend time with Roxie the next time I'm out of town.”
19. Johanna L.
“Johanna is great! Attentive and cares about the pets in her care. I recommend her!”
20. Stephanie S.
About: I have had pets since I was about five years old (fish, cats, and a dog) and love caring for all types of creatures! Growing up, I got lots of playtime with my huge, lovable puppy who was half German Shepard, half husky. My family raised her alongside two Persian cats. I also have experience with short-term care (usually no more than a week) for the cats and dogs of family and friends. I am a recent MPH grad with a work schedule that allows me to be home by 4:30/5pm and with lots of flexible time on the weekends. I will make sure to coordinate the most appropriate schedule for you and your cherished pet. I'll also make sure your pet gets plenty of play time and belly rubs. I'm working full-time but have a standard schedule that allows me to plan for dog walks and general pet care. I also have a car, which allows me to easily commute to different locations. At the moment I can only pet-sit at the client's home since my location does not allow for pets. If I am staying in a client's home, I am pretty accommodating to where I'll stay and just always try to ask for a list of house rules or tips to make sure everything goes smoothly.
