“Holly was outstanding and really put my mind at ease when my cats were home alone for a few days. She was very attentive and took care of what we needed. Thanks so much for helping us out, Holly, and hope we’re able to book you again in the future!”

“After having my dog sitter bale last minute, I found Mark on Rover! I went from being a nervous wreck to feeling such peace. Mark really put my mind & heart at ease. He took such good care of my Weimaraner Ber baby 💙 The pictures & updates he sent felt like I was there with them. Such a comforting feeling. My sweet Ber met a really good friend. I can’t recommend Mark enough!”


About: I'm an animal communicator and energy healer, so if your animals are in need of communicating anything to you I can relay that information. I've been around all types of animals my whole life and have always had a special way of communicating with them. I have a very calming energy that is very healing for the animals I care for. I’ve taken care of dogs and have been a pet sitter for over 20 years now. I'm a go to sitter for my friends, family, co-workers as well as their friends, family and co-workers. I’m very attentive to the animals needs and wants and can pick up on things intuitively that your pets are going through or experiencing. I treat every animal I care for as if they are my own and take the responsibility of caring for animals very seriously. I also will get down and play with them and interact with them on a soul to soul level. I understand that your pets are part of your family and I treat them as such. I often get told I take care of people’s animals better than they do. I have a deep love for animals and I always share that love with the animals I care for. I'm well-versed in administrating medication, dog walking and grooming. I had a job as a pet groomer, so if your animal needs a bath and brush during our time together- you can add that to our time together. Please note, I don't do nail trims or coat trims- only bath and brush. I also have a special skill set of working with breeds that are picky eaters and have digestive issues such as Shih Tzus. My schedule is flexible as I currently work remotely so I have time to spend with your pet and show them the attention they need. I’m also an introvert and empath so I don’t spend long hours away from the pets I care for. I’d rather be playing or hanging out with animals any day of the week. I'm available for overnight pet sits, check ins as well as dog walking. I take care of pets in client’s home with the utmost respect and care as possible. I take responsibility of the pet and home as if they were my own. If there are instructions left for the pet I will follow them to a ‘T.’ I also have the ability to intuitively pick up on the pets cues of being anxious, uncomfortable, happy, sad and any emotion in between. I'm very attentive on dog walks, always scanning the area for cars, other dogs, stray dogs, and people. Your dogs safety is my highest priority.


“Caitlin is the best! She communicates thoroughly, gives of her time and energy with the animals, and is very reliable in her services. The pictures we received well presented the cats stories while we were away. I highly recommend Caitlin for your situation.”


“Tania was great! Very communicative and caring, will definitely be hiring her again”


“Catherine is incredible! On her first visit there was an issue with the key (my error). Trying to resolve the problem -- she tried to squeeze through the bottom of the garage door! It did not work, though she gave her all! She is a kind and caring pet sitter! My kitties love her!”


“Kailey did an excellent job taking care of my two cats when I was traveling for a week. I came home to a very nonchalant greeting from both cats which is how I know they were very well cared for! Kailey sent daily pics and updates. She was great to communicate with which made for a stress free trip! I would highly recommend. Thanks Kailey!”



About: I love animals and have grown up with at least 2 pets at a time in my household. I cat and dog sit for friends that all say that I bring an air of peace to their animals. I intuitively understand pet needs and the value of their proper care and nourishment. I've also grown up with dogs that have medical needs and am very responsible with handling their medications! Animals in the city have a very dire need for exercise and mental stimulation, and also to have social interactions! I'm here to help give them the opportunity, while the pet owner is busy, to keep pets happy and healthy, and to entertain them (while also entertaining myself, because I love interacting with them as well!)

“Alison took SUCH great care of our cat. They bonded immediately and he even seemed a little disappointed when we got home. Would rebook in an instant!”


“Laura took care of our cats while we were away. She stayed in good communication with us and made sure the house was comfortable for our cats. Thanks!”


“Victoria was responsive and wonderful!”


About: Self-identified nature and animal lover, in transition from attorney to mindfulness meditation teacher. I have cared for dogs for over 20 years, from zoomie puppies to slow-moving seniors. I am comfortable administering medication and feeding any provided food at indicated meal times. I can also provide human grade wet dog food or premium grain-free dry kibble for an additional fee. Belly rubs and nature walks are always on offer. All are welcome here! I am home full-time and am able to supervise, care for or play with the dogs throughout the day. The dogs will not be left home alone for more than a couple hours each day. We begin each morning with an early one to five mile hike depending on energy levels and weather. The remainder of the day is free time to play, nap, repeat. We typically feed meals twice per day but can accommodate your pup's regular program. In our home: Your dog will have free range of our entire home and fully-fenced acre with access to fresh drinking water at all times. There are several dog beds around the house. Our resident pup Poppy is happy to share! We go for morning hikes and would bring your leashed dog with us with your permission. (May 2025: please note we are low-key renovating and always either keep areas dog-safe or close doors to keep temporarily dogs away.) In your home: I would be careful to follow your reasonable directions regarding pet and basic home care. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to work with you for any time-sensitive needs. I would also provide you with regular updates, including photos, and be in communication with you as appropriate. Special requests are always welcome. PS. Overnight stays are made much easier if my friendly and adaptable dog Poppy can come along as well. If not, we have been able to find good alternative solutions ensure care for all our animals.

“David took great care of my cat while I was away, and I appreciate that he’s a cat person! I highly recommend him and I’ll be hiring him again.”


About: Every pet is unique. I will walk your dog as fast or slow as they desire. (I’ve always allowed my dogs to sniff as much as they want, but if you prefer not, I’ll follow your wishes.) I’ve owned and loved dogs my entire life. I’ve worked with many dog trainers and pay close attention to dog body language. I’m retired and looking for more exercise in between my volunteer work. My dog is between 16-18 and while he fortunately still enjoys walks, I shouldn’t push him just because I want to keep going. I’d walk all day if I could! At this point I cannot provide pet care at my home or stay overnight at yours. My dog is not good at sharing my attention let alone his toys!

“Jessie was informative throughout her visits, sent pictures, and updates. She did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. Would definitely use her as a pet sitter again and again.”


About: I'll walk, sit and board your dog while you're away! Whatever you need. I'm a graduate student with open availability. I can come to your place for a quick or long visit. While boarding, I'll feed and walk; watch movies; play or just lounge around. I was raised on a farm with many animals and currently have a well-behaved dog of my own. Let me know the fine details of what you prefer and I'll make sure to see it through. I live near a dog park and I travel around the outdoors and hiking places your dogs will love, too. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a friendly cat and can care for cats, too! Animals of all types are welcome. I’m a graduate student that loves animals! I was raised on a farm and look forward to caring for whatever pet you have. I have open availability so anytime is a good time! I have a fenced yard and take my friendly dog to a local, fenced dog park. Pets are welcome to roam around my house and lounge as they please, or bird watch outside in the yard.

“Emily was fantastic. A great communicator, kind, patient, and trustworthy. My dog Trinity isn't the easiest (she's shy and scared of new people), but Emily followed my instructions to the detail and took great care of her on each of the 4 drop-in visits. I'd absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her!”


“Karley was the best!! She took such good care of Creed and updated me with videos and photos and even cleaned up the mess he made in his kennel! Outstanding job!! Will be booking again and become my primary caregiver for my son!”

3. Kathryn S.
“Katy has been my go-to house & dog sitter for over two years now. I have two small Shih Tzus who have various dietary & health issues at any given time that can worsen quickly if we do not pay close attention to changes in behavior or physicality. She diligently administers any medications or treatments as required. I travel with full confidence and assurance that Katy watches closely and does not take lightly what seems insignificant. She makes extra effort to be sure that my dogs are not only comfortable but also enjoying their experience, making plans for walks or excursions to places that will give them a much-needed exercise or outlet for extra energy. She is attentive to any threats or distractions while they are away from the house & prioritizes safety. I make my dogs' food from scratch so Katy is great with the added steps of needing to defrost or prepare meals. Because I work from home, my dogs are used to having company most of the day and Katy is mindful to not leave them for longer than their limits. Additionally, Katy takes exceptional care of my home and my belongings, leaving a clean, orderly & well maintained household. I have an old house with little quirks and I appreciated Katy not being bothered by having to pay attention to these details. I appreciate that clear communication is a high priority for Katy and when she isn't clear, she doesn't hesitate to ask questions. Her attention to detail is so appreciated when needing to make decisions or give her direction. I have been so blessed to be able to entrust Katy with my two most valuable assets so that I can focus on being present wherever my travel takes me.”
