Thank you Nancy for always taking such great care of our girl!”

“I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for caring for Finn while I was away. Your kindness, attention, and updates gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much you care, and I’m truly grateful.”

He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“Christine and Joe were so welcoming and friendly to Pepper and she quickly warmed up to them. They were communicative and sent the best pictures of our girl. We will definitely count of them again as our pet sitters!”
“I booked with Michael for three nights, and it was a great experience. He takes great precaution to ensure that your dog and his dog are comfortable and happy throughout the visit. He also only takes in one dog at a time which provides assurance that no unknown dogs will be staying with yours while you are away. He takes them on regular walks, and provides text and photo updates throughout the day, especially when there is something cute that he knows you can't miss out on. I would definitely utilize Michael's services again.”

She also sent plenty of photos every check in. We will happily request her services again the next time we’re out of time.”
About: I have experience caring for cats and am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and providing companionship. I grew up with a cat and have cared for cats for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. As a lifelong animal lover, rescue volunteer, foster, and pet owner, I understand the importance of dependable, attentive care and treating every pet like one of my own.
“I am fully satisfied with the care Maura gave to my two cats. I got home after a week and everything seems as I left it, including two happy kitties. I would definitely ask for her help again.”
“Mary is a wonderful sitter. I come home to very relaxed happy fur babies. She did overnights and my house was clean and neat just like I left it ! Mary is the best I won’t ever use anyone else 🥰”
“Caitlin O was the perfect drop in cat sitter for us. She displays a personable warm animal loving personality. We were most impressed by her “cat whisperer” skills as our 2 shy rescue kitties warmed up to her very quickly by the second visit! Highly recommend her!! She was very attentive to socializing with them both, giving them outdoor time in their cat condo, food, water & litter box duty. She provided lots of pics & videos too. We have already scheduled her for the next time. Thank-you Caitlin for your loving kindness & care for animals. We appreciate you ♥️”
“Lindsay was fabulous with my two kitty cats. She loved them like her own and they loved her back. Lindsay is dependable and trustworthy and I would highly recommend her to care for your kitkats.”
“Joseph and Christine are great! They are communicative, and I felt confident leaving my pet in their care. I certainly recommend them to other pet owners.”
About: Besides growing up with cats, many of my roommates and friends have had cats that i have helped take care of and love on! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family!
“Helen took such good care of our guys. She went beyond and put on some animal documentaries for them to watch. She sent many pictures, asked questions, and was a great communicator. She obviously loves animals and they trust her, our more skeptical guy, warmed up to her quickly and giving her many leg rubs. Would highly recommend Helen!”
“Jennifer does a great job with our cats. She is very thorough and reliable. We greatly appreciate the attention and care she gives our cats while we are away. She is one of the best sitters we have worked with on Rover!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for the past ten years for neighbors, friends, and folks I meet around town. Our feline friends are each unique and deserve to be treated with the ultimate respect and kindness that matches their temperament. I’m happy to meet cats where they are — respecting their boundaries, offering a comforting presence, and listening to their cues to ensure they feel safe and loved. This looks different for every kitty, so I like to collaborate with owners to find out how best to care for their furry friend! I’m available for drop-ins, overnights, and walks.
“It was a pleasure having Yelena watch our three cats for almost 2 weeks. The pictures and videos she sent were wonderful to check out thousands of miles away from home. I would recommend Yelena unconditionally.”
About: Over the course of growing up, I had 7 cats (indoor/outdoor) of every mix and age. While I love cats, as an adult I've never had a chance to adopt one. Even though I'm no longer a cat mom, I've always jumped at the chance to hang out with and care for my friends' cats! From a 14 year old Tabby to two newborn ragdoll kittens, I have a lot of experience playing with, feeding, and snuggling all types of cats. As a special bonus, I also have a lot of positive experience in households with both cats & dogs and so I'm happy to take care of both!
About: I am a very detail-orientated person. Any pup I sit for I make sure to recognize theirs behaviors and needs and adjust my typical routine for them. This ensures they’re comfortable with me and have a great experience while their family is away! I am a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I like to dogsit between classes or on weekends. Since I can’t have dogs at my apartment here at school being able to take care of yours is amazing. Any time I can spend with dogs serves as a tremendous street relief for me as well! When I care for pets I aim to keep everything as normal and possible and stick to their already established schedule. This allows the dog to feel more comfortable considering the family is gone. I am open to walks, play time or anything else that your dog enjoys!
“Gabby was a wonderful cat sitter who was timely, flexible and always sent pictures with thorough updates. It was clear the kitties felt very comfortable with her! I will definitely be using Gabby again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cornelius
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She graciously accepted my VERY last minute booking request, was easy to communicate/coordinate with, and a breeze for drop off and pick up. She was just what Mandy needed as we train her separation anxiety. I loved the pictures she sent of their time together. Was very nice to know my pup was in safe, loving hands! And her backyard looks like a dog’s paradise which was perfect for Mandy’s addiction to ball throwing!!”

About: Taking care of pets has always been my utmost passion! I was an elementary school teacher in BROWARD county for over 25 years. In 2020, I made the difficult decision to take an early retirement from teaching in an effort to pursue my life long passion and goal... caring for pets in a loving, nurturing and trusting manner.

If your needs don’t include overnight stays, I am gladly available to see your pets for feeding, walking and play times. I’m very flexible and am here to meet your needs.

About: Hi! I’m Olivia and I’m excited to pet sit for you. I’ve been a part time pet sitter for 6 years taking care of cats and dogs (of all sizes). I have experience in pet sitting for young puppies & kittens as well as older more medically complex pets. I am more than comfortable giving medication to pets and allergy shots. Although my pet sitting experience has been focused only 6 years. Prior to this I fostered countless kittens and puppies with the humane society of Charlotte ensuring I met all of their socialization needs for their future home! I have two kitties of my own, Winifred and Beatrice who have brought me so much joy and I’m excited to love on your pet as I do my own! I currently work 7 to 4 in office most days but am available morning, lunch times and the evenings. I love to fill my time taking care of animals! I love to make sure all animals feel comfortable with me. I never approach without letting them sniff me and make sure to always give space when needed. I am always gentle and quiet around more shy animals until I gain their trust.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has experience with dogs of every stripe! From the gentle giant St. Bernard to the spunky rescue Chihuahua, I've had experience caring for (and loving) dogs of every size, age, & breed. After growing up surrounded by cats & dogs, I adopted my own senior rescue pup, Missy Elliot, about 10 years ago. Missy crossed the rainbow bridge back in April but she created a soft spot in my heart for Senior dogs and I would love nothing more than to spend some time taking your senior on leisurely walks with plenty of time to sniff. At the same time, I would also love taking a younger pup to the park & working with them on how to sit! I am currently between positions and so, starting mid-July, my calendar is wide open. I have a few scattered trips in late August, but otherwise I am free. As the mom of a pup myself, I am very attuned to the specific needs of each dog or cat. I do my best to integrate myself into the pet's best schedule and I stay in consistent communication with you to check in. Plus, I try to send at least two pictures/updates a day so you can be sure your fur baby is in good hands!
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life! I grew up with 2 labs and then later on adopted 2 beautiful huskies. Over time I have learned that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to get to know each one and provide care that's tailored to their needs. I'm comfortable with administering oral medications when needed, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and providing plenty of love! I also keep pet parents informed with regular updates, photos, and messages so they can feel confident their dog is happy and safe while they're away. I currently work part time for a coffee shop. I mainly work afternoons so I’ll be able to visit your babies once to twice in the morning/ early afternoon and then again in the evening when I get off! I currently live in an apartment with a small dog and a cat. We keep doors locked/ closed to prevent the cat from slipping out. I take out my small dog regularly for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. We use our dog park to let our dog interact with others. They both get lots of interaction and have so so many toys!

“I booked with Michael for three nights, and it was a great experience. He takes great precaution to ensure that your dog and his dog are comfortable and happy throughout the visit. He also only takes in one dog at a time which provides assurance that no unknown dogs will be staying with yours while you are away. He takes them on regular walks, and provides text and photo updates throughout the day, especially when there is something cute that he knows you can't miss out on. I would definitely utilize Michael's services again.”

Will definitely book with him again!”
