I really could not have had a better experience.”

“Steven is by far the best pet sitter I have ever used! His calm yet confident demeanor gave me a strong sense of comfort. Gracie was with him for 6 days and usually she is hyper and I have to calm her down-not this time, she was relaxed and calm. That’s how I know she was treated well and was happy. I will use him again and highly recommend him… Thanks Steven fora great experience !”
“Steph couldn’t have been any more perfect for our dog, Remy! It was the first time we left a pet with a non-family member but I felt completely comfortable. Steph even has a doggie-sofa in her living area. I could tell from our first meet and greet that she was in tune with dog behavior. Her dogs are the sweetest hosts too! When we picked up Remy, I could just tell that she had a wonderful weekend. I really appreciate having a reliable, loving place to take Remy when needed.”

Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”

“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”
“Ashley does a great job of taking care of our senior cats. She does well with communicating with us when things pop up. She sends thorough reports with plenty of pictures of our cats. We have used her services before and both times her services have been great!”
“We found an abandoned kitten behind the Wegmans, took her in, but had long-term travel plans in the next few days. Tara absolutely saved the day. She's very knowledgeable of early development best practices, and did so punctually, with genuine love in her heart. If you're lucky enough to be able to book Tara, you'll be getting the best of the best.”
“Emily is a gem. She has watched our 3 cats (1 a diabetic who requires insulin twice a day) several times and has always done a terrific job. Our last trip, Emily visited faithfully despite having to blaze a trail to the house following a raging snowstorm. I cannot praise her enough.”
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”
“Christine came when she said she was going to and spend time with my cat. She wasn’t able to see my second cat, but that was to be expected. She showed me pictures of my one cat and I knew that he was getting attention. She was reliable and I would definitely use her again. Thank you, Christine.”
“As a first-time Rover user with a shy cat, I was nervous about having someone new check on my kitty periodically. We really lucked out with Rachel. Rachel was patient with my many questions and walked me through Rover’s process. My cat allowed Rachel to pet her and even ate her food when Rachel was around, which is huge! I will absolutely book Rachel again the next time our schedules align! I recommend Rachel whether you’re a seasoned Rover user or a novice. Rachel is someone who definitely knows what they are doing and seeks to make your pet as comfortable as possible in your absence.”
About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 8 years and pet owner of 20+ years who is highly experienced in animal care and petsitting. As a cat, horse, and previous dog owner myself I understand that our pets are our family! I look forward to meeting your fur baby!
“Curtis was a great caretaker for our two cats: Dropped by everyday, administered pills, changed food, water, and litter in addition to play time! Heavily recommend, he's a great sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was a kid, from my own family cats to pets belonging to neighbors, friends, and regular pet-sitting clients. Growing up around animals taught me early that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and way of communicating. I’m patient with shy or cautious cats, happy to give affectionate cats all the attention they want, and always take the time to learn their individual routines and quirks. It’s what makes them so special! I’ve even surprised many people I’ve catsat for by how much their shy kitties have warmed up to me, which is such an honor 🥹 Beyond feeding and litter care, I make sure cats get plenty of play, enrichment, affection (when wanted!), and company while their people are away. I know how particular cats can be, and I’m very comfortable letting them set the pace 😊
About: I’ve had the opportunity to care of cats while their owners were away, making sure they were fed on schedule, had fresh water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention. I understand that every cat has a unique personality—some love to play and cuddle, while others prefer their own space—and I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their needs. As someone who truly loves animals, I’ll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, companionship, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll treat your cat with the same kindness and respect I’d give my own pets.
“Mina was caring and attentive to Otto, making us feel comfortable being away. She sent pictures of Otto from her visits. She did everything we requested to care for our cat and our house in our absence. I would feel completely comfortable hiring her again during our travel!”
About: I love cats and they are the funniest animals ever. I’ve owned a cat my entire my life so I know how unpredictable yet loving they can be. It’s important to me to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each cat’s unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to provide feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of affection.
“Danielle did an amazing job watching Zara!! She took good care of her and sent me regular updates and pictures. I could tell Zara was happy and comfortable :-). This was my first time leaving her alone and I couldn't have made a better choice. I will definitely re-book with her again!”

“Watched my puppy on a very short notice. She sent pics and let me know how he was doing. House was clean. She and her husband were really nice. Will use again. Thanks again.”
“Olga took such great care of my baby Remy! He is a very active dog and she took him on several walks and showed him so much love. He was totally exhausted when he came home and even slept in the next day, which I love. She was flexible too, as pickup details shifted during his stay. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone!”

“My pup Jewel had a lovely time with Barbara! I recommend her, she was open to have a initial meet and greet and immediately I could tell she was loving, and sweet and my dog would be in good care with her.

In every picture Jewel looked how she does at home smiling or tongue out , she was well taken care of with Barbara and family this is not the last time they will see Jewel! Thank you!”

“Brian took great care of my girl, Lemon! He made sure the plan for Lem was super clear beforehand, which I especially appreciated since the schedule I gave him to complement my friend's visit schedule was not perfectly regular, and he didn't miss a visit! He also had to deal with a terrible cold spell, but when he couldn't walk Lemon for more than 5 minutes at a time (about all she can tolerate when it's that cold), he took her for two short walks to make sure she did all her business and then played ball with her in the house. We came home to a dog who, while happy to see us, was clearly doing just fine without us, which is all I can ask for :)”
