“Maria took wonderful care of my cats. She was very flexible with her availability as I was waiting for a family member to be released from the hospital. I am thankful for her help.”
2. Sara C.
“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of Wilma and Lucifer! She sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how they were doing, and was very communicative any time an issue came up so we could solve it. I will definitely be using her services any time I need a pet sitter in the future!”
3. Aimee P.
“Aimee was amazing. We were a bit hesitant, as we've never used Rover before, but she was so welcoming and helpful. She came on-time, every time, and cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!”

5. Juliet L.
“I would recommend Julie to anyone seeking a caring, responsible guardian for their dog. She enjoys going for walks, playing games, and engaging in other enriching activities depending on an individual dog's wants and needs. As an attentive mother to her corgi, and growing up with dogs in her household, I have seen Julie prioritize the comfort and well-being of animals under her care. I trust her to watch over anyone else's pets like her own family.”

12. Isabel R.
“Isabel did a great job taking care our little cat, Xena, while we were away for a week. She came every day to feed and spend some time playing with Xena so she wouldn't get too lonely. She took care of the litter box for us so we weren't met with a nasty smell when we came home, and she went above and beyond to clean up a shattered plant pot Xena knocked off a shelf. I recommend Isabel to anyone who needs their furry friend — cat or dog — taken care of. I just hope she's available next time we need a sitter! Thank you, Isabel!”
13. Lilibet K.
“Lillibet is fantastic with dogs - she genuinely loves and cares for them, and takes great care of them! I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is incredibly kind, responsible, and dependable .... everything you'd want in someone caring for your fur baby!”

15. Liliana W.
“Lily loves animals with all of her heart. She has taken care of my dog with me, and while my dog is very low maintenance, I can attest that she did a great job. I know her love and passion for all sorts of animals will allow her to do the best job possible every time. I believe that anyone looking for help should consider Lily as an option at bare minimum.”
16. Maggie B.
“Maggie is a superstar sitter! She was extremely communicative and helped keep us updated on my two cats who were currently on medication for eye issues. She took a ton of photos and had great notes about what they did and how everyone was doing. Will definitely use her again!”
17. Sydney S.
“Syd has taken care of my 10 year old cat, Cantaloupe, many times and done a fantastic job. Cantaloupe has female asthma and is a bit high maintenance and Syd always has taken great care of her. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for pet care!”
18. Jessica R.
“Jessica was great! She made sure she was attentive to my cats needs while I was away, and wanted to make sure she was spending quality time with her. She even brought by some extra treats for her!”
19. Jana T.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds/ages of dogs. I got my current 7yr old guy when he was just a puppy so I have experience in training. I have also fostered several dogs including ENVIGO beagles. My guy is very calm and relaxed and is a positive influence on dogs that may need more of that calming energy. I currently work 3-4 days out of the week and I’m gone for about 6 hours of the day. I work 20 min away. Other than work I’m pretty much home. I live in a condo and don’t have a yard. I live on the 1st floor so no steps in case you have an older dog. There’s plenty of wooded areas around my neighborhood so a good variety of places for walks. My sweet pup will be an excellent and calming companion for your fur baby esp if anxiety is an issue.
20. Kris H.
“Kris is absolutely the best! I will be using Kris regularly in the near future. Thank you!”
