We received so many photos and videos every day, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was always fast, kind, and thoughtful. We could truly feel how much they cared. Youngjoo can be a bit shy around new people at first, but she looked so relaxed, happy, and comfortable in every update. It was clear that she felt safe and loved with them. We’re beyond grateful for all the love, patience, and attention they gave. Honestly, Qinrong and her family are some of the best sitters we’ve ever had, and we’ll absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for warm, trustworthy, and caring people to watch their pup!”

“Cheryl watched our cat while we left her alone for the first time, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I hope she’s available to watch her again during our next trip!”


About: I am an experienced and compassionate cat caregiver who understands that every cat has their own personality, comfort level, and daily routine. I have been caring for animals since I was 13 years old, beginning with volunteer experience at animal rescues and veterinary clinics. I also have personal experience caring for my own cats, whom I consider part of my family. I am comfortable providing basic cat care, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, playtime, and giving cats plenty of attention and companionship. I also understand that some cats may be shy, anxious, or prefer their personal space, so I am patient and allow each cat to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I currently work part time and attend school full time, with much of my work completed remotely. This provides me with a flexible schedule and allows me to give your cat dependable, attentive, and loving care while you are away.

“Angel was amazing! Flexible, communicative, and able to take care of all our needs! We felt very comfortable knowing that our sweet girl was taken care of and getting loved on.”


“This was my first experience with Rover, and it was great. Meep can tend to be nervous and anxious when I get home after an absence, but with Melissa taking care of her, this was the calmest I have ever seen her. Meep LOVED her, and recognized, as do I, Melissa's kind heart and great love for animals. She sent me pics of Meep each day, so I could have peace of mind knowing Meep was in very good hands. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”


“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”


About: My family always joked I’d become a crazy cat lady. Joke’s on them! I love all animals, but to be fair, cats are my favorite. 🐱 I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re a cuddle bug, playful menace, shy baby, or prefer to admire you from afar. I’m experienced with senior cats, specialty diets, and administering oral and topical medications. Most importantly, I’m happy to meet your cat where they are and give them the care, attention, and space they need to feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

I am willing to stay in your home for your pets’ comfort or to visit late at night and early in the morning. I am unable to care for pets in my home because of my own dog’s anxiety. Because of my experience with him, I am well prepared to care for pets that have anxiety, aggression, and nervousness. I am prepared to provide all of the attention or distant care that they require.
“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with.

“Cheyenne, her puppies, and family were so amazing to Astra! She made sure to update me often, and did amazing on keeping Astra on schedule! We would definitely recommend her services and can’t wait for Astra to visit again!”

“As a first time Rovee customer, I am very delighted with my experience. Jordan was very welcoming not only to Frankie but myself as well. She kept me informed bout his behavior from being with the other dogs, her 1 year old and even during feeding time. She was also understanding of my lateness picking him up. I am definitely booking Jordan again in the near future.”

This gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets while you are away or busy. When I take care of a pet I would like to know the availability and understand what their animal needs to get the job done I would like to have meet and greet with ur pets so I can be able to adapt especially when taking care of there needs.

About: I’ve taken care of all animals from horses to lizards, dogs to guinea pigs. I’ve had all breeds of dogs and have even had senior dogs and special needs dogs I just got out of the army and have the time to care for all your animals needs. For boarded dogs, we have a fenced in yard and two couches that are strictly for the dogs. For drop-ins and walks, your pets will be my new friends!! I have a fenced in yard and a kennel if needed. We currently have a guinea pig and a dog, Whisper, who loves new friends.

About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.

About: I’ve dog sat and walked dogs for over 15 years each year gaining more and more experience. Last 2 years I have worked in a training facility for dogs from shelters (so have been around every temperament). I have taken may classes on dogs (body language, training, etc.) I love all dogs and most all dogs love me! I am currently a stay at home mom and have a lot of free time to take care of other animals. I go on many walks throughout the week. I treat all animals like they are my own. I make sure they get adequate play time, food/water, cuddles, outside or walking time. I like to get to know each and every dog I take care as much as possible.
“Last time we booked Delaney, our golden was just a little pup. Months later and their reunion was so sweet! He couldn’t stop wagging his tail and bugging them for pets! Delaney and her husband are truly the sweetest dog caregivers! You will NOT regret sending your animal to their home!!”

“Gen took great care of Maisie this week! Maisie had lots of time to play and snuggle! Gen was super accommodating with our crazy schedule! We would absolutely leave our Maisie with her again!”

“Helia treats our baby like family and we joke she has a boyfriend with Kratos (the best play mate!). Helia will send the best photos and videos and it’s so nice to see my baby happy. We won’t go anywhere else”

About: I have taken care of animals for 22 years, and I absolutely love it. In fact, my whole life I wanted to be a Vet Tech. I love animals, and have a special connection with each of them. I am currently not working full time, as I just had a baby 6 months ago, so I am able to invest my time and energy with my children and with animals. I will be warm and welcoming to all animals, treating them like my own. I enjoy spoiling fur babies and treat them like real children. I will make sure the animals are safe, fed, comfortable, loved, and anything else that they may need! I have a two story condo, with a back patio, small grass area to walk animals, and cozy spaces for fur babies! I would also be willing to go to the dog park or Mill Creek park with the pets.
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.

“Rachel has truly been the best to my pup. She came to visit/walk my dog almost daily for the past few weeks and she has been reliable, responsive, attentive, and kind. Every visit, she left me with lots of cute photos and a detailed update about my pup and their time together. My pup always seemed nothing short of happy, comfortable, and at complete ease. Rachel is a kind hearted and thoughtful sitter who truly treats your dog like her own. She even purchased my golden doodle some of her favorite treats when we ran out at home and made sure to ask for my permission before doing so! The only reason I have parted ways with Rachel is because I have moved out of town, and leaving her was the saddest part about moving! I wish I could continue service and proceed with the same peace of mind Rachel gave me. Like many pet parents, I have a lot of anxiety about others caring for my pup, but I never felt an ounce of that with Rachel. I always had the upmost confidence that my pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her to all!”

About: Intrigued by “man’s best friend” since the tender age of 3; I engulfed my life with everlasting love and care for pets; for over 30 years! My experience includes: pet sitting for neighbors: cats and dogs; providing pet washing services; and volunteering at pet shelters. Playful pups are my specialty! I’ve previously sat with Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepards, French bulldogs, Goldendoodles, Pomeranians, and many more! I am currently available 24/7 for services. Feel free to contact me anytime with inquiries. Safety is my top priority! Pets are family! In my home, they are provided playful toys and loving interactions. Hourly walks with a harness collar; trailing into a field for wide range of motion; to soak in the sun are a must for my furry friends! For over night stays, they will be secured in an extra large crate starting at 11pm-5am with potty breaks and soothing music for pets.
About: 1I have had pets throughout childhood and into adulthood. I used to train dogs and I treat your fur babies with the same love as my own! I have a pretty open schedule that can easily accommodate boarding, last minute boarding/ house sitting and more! Let me know what service you need! I have plenty of room to run laps around the.backyard! We go on daily walks and sometimes we even get puppuccinos and become couch potatoes 😊
About: My first child was my furry boy, Lennon. I had him since he was a pup in Germany and we were together for 14 years. Unfortunately, his time has come to an end for quite some time. I miss having him, but we aren’t ready to replace him, so I’m offering a loving home, dog sitter, or walker to your furry child. I work part time hours, but I also have my little sister (23 yrs old), Louisa, and my husband (who loves all the pets) that help me. When you book with us, you book the whole family. Between all three of us, your furry baby will be alone, tops 2 hrs if needed for appointments. As you can see on our profile pics, this is definitely a family business.
