“Ilona was very calm and sweet at drop off. She took really good care of Choo Choo. She got him to eat which is quite a chore. She sent me pictures during his stay. I will definitely use her again.”
“Skyler is such a wonderful doggy caregiver! You can tell our little guys feel comfortable and safe with her and her family. Our doggies are relaxed and balanced when we pick them up (even our anxious one), and her updates with pictures are something we look forward to each day we’re away”
“Had a great experience with JJ! My dog clearly had an amazing time and I really appreciated all of the videos and pics of his stay :) communication was great, would absolutely book again!”
“Highly highly recommend! They take excellent care and are invested truly in taking great care of the dogs. This time my dogs were eager to get inside their house when they went for the weekend. Very lucky to have found them.”
“Fiona was a lifesaver. We booked at the last minute for Norbert, our Llasa Apso mix pup. Not only did she open her home to our dog, she rearranged her life to accommodate him. She walked him four times a day and sent photos documenting his stay. Being a rescue dog, Norbert was sad to be left behind, but Fiona provided love, nurture, and support to the point that I could literally see Norbert's expression change in real time. Fiona was amazing. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely be using her again to dog-sit for us.”
“Mae made my first time leaving my Frenchie with someone outside of family so easy and comforting. She and her family cared for her like their own and sent sweet updates throughout the weekend. I’m so grateful for Mae’s kindness and will definitely book with her again!”
“As always, Elena is the BEST! My dogs get to do their favorite thing, play in the sprinkler, whenever they come to her house. It is the highlight of their stay! They love love love it here”
“Susana and her family were SO kind and accommodating. It was Lotti's first time away from home and I knew she was doing great with them! I got plenty of updates and photos of Lotti and she slept the whole next day, so I know she had a blast! I'll definitely be using Susana to watch her again!”

She also sends multiple pictures and updates throughout the day to put your mind at ease! Thank you Melissa, Kylo can’t wait for his next stay with you!”

Definitely would recommend James for any pet sitting. He keeps you updated with everything throughout the whole day. For sure I’ll be coming back again here with James. Thanks James!”
“Buddy really enjoyed his stay with Nicole and her family. He's getting up in age and I worry about leaving him, but I had nothing to worry about.

“Lynn was wonderful!!! I left on a two-week vacation, and was nervous about finding someone to take care of my furbabies. Lynn sent pictures and updates with each check-in, and took wonderful care of my kitties. Plus she's only a mile from home. I will absolutely go to her to take care of my kitties every time I am away from home. HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Julian took wonderful care of our senior kitty CoCo while we were traveling outside the country. I felt very much at ease knowing he was checking in on her, we got photo updates as well. Coco couldn't stop singing his praises when we got home, she was happy to know Julian was her go to guy while we were away. Thank you so very much!”
About: I was raised by two cat lovers, who brought me into a house with 2 cats already. I’ve been around cats almost constantly in my life, but adopted my first when was in high school, a hefty russian blue (said the vet). In all honesty she’s been incredibly easy to care for, so when I met my partner in college, I was a bit unprepared for his roommate’s fosters. They were emergency fosters, often barely able to eat wet food, some were sick and had the tiniest meows. I grew to find helping with the fosters was so gratifying, and watching tiny kittens grow into young cats was at times incredibly emotional. I’m so happy to have had that experience, and it’s helped me to understand cats so much more, and made me want to care for more!
“Brigette is an amazing pet sitter! She took amazing care of our two cats who have very specific routines and needs. They cuddled with her which they don’t even do with our family and she took great care of our home while we were away. We received daily updates with lots of photos. The cats for sure miss you. They got a little vacation of their own with lots of play, treats and attention. Thank you Brigette for all you have done for us. You are the best!!”
“Gabby is simply… the best! Here’s why. I’ve never used a pet sitting service before, but I was going on a 5-day vacation and needed someone to care for my recently-adopted cat. Agonizing over what to do, my daughter recommended Rover. Once on the website, I considered a few people, but Gabby’s profile stood out—a 4.9 rating, over 200 reviews, nearly 50 repeat clients, a self-described “loving and responsible pet sitter,” AND she lived nearby. Once I contacted her, she agreed to a meet & greet at no charge. It went great, so I booked her. Every single day she was on-time, sent several pictures, and wrote a summary about the the visit. My messages to her were promptly responded to. I left very specific instructions, and all were followed. On top of everything, she’s thoughtful, funny, genuine, and caring. I will definitely be another of her repeat clients. Thank you, Gabby!”
“Lexy is one of the best pet sitters out there! A trip for me out of the country over 4th of July and no worries about my 2 cats hearing fireworks and getting scared. Lexy took good care of them since when I got home they were lounging around looking pretty content! Lots of love and treats and professional care. I highly recommend Lexy!! Joanne”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and over the years I’ve gained hands‑on experience with felines at every stage of life. I’ve fostered kittens as young as 2 weeks old who needed round‑the‑clock bottle feeding, and I’ve cared for adult and senior cats with all kinds of temperaments. Whether a cat is shy and slow to warm up or playful and full of energy, I take the time to understand their personality and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to the little details that help cats thrive. From socializing timid kitties to keeping energetic ones entertained, I’m committed to giving each cat the individualized care they deserve while you’re away.
About: I grew up with cats and kittens and have always found my way back to kitty sitting. I am very happy to cat and kitten sit, whether they're a lap cat or fiercely independent. More than happy to feed, play with, keep them company and be on litter duty when watching them for extended periods of time.
About: Hi! My name is Mary, and caring for animals is truly part of who I am. With over 15 years of experience, I understand that every cat has a unique personality and needs a calm, patient, and respectful approach. I provide a quiet, safe, and loving environment where your cat can feel comfortable and stress-free. I take the time to build trust at their own pace, always respecting their space and routine. I have experience caring for cats, including administering oral medication when needed. I make sure they are well-fed, their space is clean, and they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. For me, this is more than a job—it’s something I do with love and dedication. I treat every cat as if they were my own. I would love the opportunity to care for your cat and give you peace of mind.
About: I have owned cats for nearly my entire life, and have helped take care of family/friends cats many times before. I have experience with cats ages 0-16, and am willing to give medication if needed though I do only have previous experience giving dogs medication including insulin shots.
“What can I say? Mya was great in every way. She sent us daily pics and updates, was very helpful when we came with the cats and again when we picked them up. She has a very pleasant personality and we won't hesitate to use her again and recommend her to our friends.”
“They were so great with Topo and Coco! Lots of pictures and updates the whole visit which we appreciate! We are so happy to have found such amazing sitters for them!!”
“Keleigh did drop in visits with out cat Niko. She texted us multiple pictures every day, some of which Niko was actually sitting on her lap, completely content! That made me smile! She also texted how he was doing, filling water bowl and let us know status on all his surroundings. I would definitely use her services again! Thanks Keleigh!”

“Ilona has been great with our dog! She was recommended to us by a fellow dog parent and we’re very thankful for Ilona - she takes great care of our dog, sends us a detailed care information after each visit, and the kids are so good with our dog as well. Bonus that Ilona is close to our home! Her communication is quick and is flexible when our pick up and drop off times need to shift on short notice.”
“My baby Makana had a great time at JJ’s house.. Though we didn’t see the host’s interior of the house where the pets are, the pictures she had sent looked clean and safe.. It’s Makana’s first time to socialize with 2 dogs since she turned 2 yrs old due to some health issues when she’s a pup. We thought it’s time for her to explore and find out if she is well adjusted now that she’s an adult.She is as expected to be a little shy but was able to adapt and became comfortable. She is tired and pretty happy bec she had a play date with Zuri ( the host’s furbaby) and another furbaby. I’m glad that JJ has been sending pic and videos of our baby’s socialization activities and so nice of their son to play with the FBabies.. Thank you and will definitely recommend her services.”
“Thank you Fiona again for taking care of Tofu while we had to take care of things. Fiona is amazing literally had a last minute ER run for my wife and Fiona was able to take care of my dog last minute. Shes an angel. Tofu is happy everytime she goes to Fionas home.”
“Melisa was amazing, offered to even meet prior to the arrangement and took wonderful care of our pup. We will be using her in the future, glad we found her. Very responsive and flexible.”
“Nicole kept it simple and knocked it out of the park! Thank you Nicole for making our mini-adventure possible and making sure we knew our baby was well while we were away. Perfect.”
“We needed a dog sitter asap while we got our kitchen demolished for renovation. Our 9 month old Shepherd mix had a great time. He played with her dog, he was walked and he took naps throughout the day. I was updated with pictures and videos. It assured our family to know he was in good hands. Thank you so much Elena ❤️ Look forward to bringing our puppy back again when we need your services.”

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide calm, loving, and reliable care so pets feel happy and owners feel at ease.

About: I’ve always had a love of animals, and been in close quarters with both cats and dogs early in my life, which i found to be incredibly beneficial for me. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, from a grumpy miniature pinscher to a deaf pit bull, with medication routines and environmental needs. While much of my experience with caring for dogs is with older dogs, my forever dog Roxy was not always a senior dog and in her younger years she was a 65+ pound pittie mix. I love taking dogs around the neighborhood and letting them set the pace, and if necessary I can carry a pretty heavy dog, in case of a splinter in a paw or a mean dog. I like to keep animals out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, and try to make sure that they have enough time/daylight to work out all the excitement. I also take medication, so when caring for a dog who also needs medication, I like to take mine with them. I work part-time as a botanical assistant and artist, so my hours are irregular, but thus allow quite a bit of time for me to care for animals during the day. Im big with cuddly animals, they often find me very approachable and sweet when i interact with them. My own animals are rather skiddish around strangers, so I tend to try and assess each animal by their body language, if it’s a jumpy and exited animal, I will greet them with a similar energy and love up on them, if they are a bit more shy I will get on their level, and wait for them to initiate. I only feel comfortable if my friend is, that when I know we will get along great.
About: I’ve gained petsitting experience through helping out friends and family with their dogs. I’ve walked, fed, and provided playtime with these dogs. I’ve learned how to handle dogs with different personalities that range from low to high energy. I’m a student and currently on summer break. I don’t have a job, so I have full availability for pet sitting and dog walking. In my clients home, I respect their space while making sure their dog/s can feel comfortable with their usual routine. I make sure to maintain a clean environment as well.

About: I've worked with special needs animals all my life from tri-pawds, deaf, and blind animals to those with dietary restrictions, behavioral issues, anxiety, and sensitivity to stimuli. Currently I am also employed by a farm that has working breads for dogs and barn cats.

“Tiffany and her family were perfect for our high energy dog! They have two energetic dogs of their own and our dog, Winston, gets lots of play time with them and lots of balls to fetch from the family! Our dog also LOVES the pool and got to swim in their pool twice over a three night stay, and Tiffany was gracious to bathe him afterwards and even give him a life jacket so he could enjoy it with their kids. We love that Winston is having his own vacation while we’re away, and will continue to use Tiffany for our upcoming stays!”

“We are so happy we found Candy to watch our dog, Roscoe while we were away on vacation. Roscoe is a bit picky when it comes to bigger dogs and strangers but Candy was able to handle it really well and after a couple of days, he was happily playing with the other dogs. Candy is also very easy to reach and will always respond to messages, which is a big plus =) ”
