“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”
“Erica is very professional and took good care of my dog. I feel Bella is very safe with her and she seems very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. I will be booking her again and referring to a friend.”
“Doris was a great sitter for my cat, Mona. She was kind, attentive, and showed Mona so much love—Mona really took to her. It gave me peace of mind knowing Mona was in good hands. I’d definitely book with Doris again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter. ❤️”
“We are repeat customers, and my cat loves staying with Lina! I would definitely recommend her services. She always goes above and beyond in her care, and I can feel comfortable and at peace leaving my cat with her, knowing that he will be well. I always know he will be in great hands with her. She is easy to work with, incredibly attentive, very communicative, responsible, and flexible (which relieves a lot of the stress of traveling, making plans, and having to leave a pet). Lina is a fantastic caregiver!”
“This was our second stay with Margaret and her daughter and it was a wonderful experience from drop off to pick up! Junior has some behavorial "quirks" and Margaret knew how to keep him happy and safe. Her photos and updating communications made it easy for me to enjoy my vacation with family without worrying or thinking about how Junior was doing. I know I found the perfect place for Junior when I have to leave him home. I intend to book with Margaret again and would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter who treats your dog or cat like they're theirs!”
“I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Rachel took amazing care of my dog while we were away on a trip. He takes medication and has some anxiety issues and he did very well in Rachel's home. She also gave us daily updates which we really appreciated!”
“Oh my God, Patricia is absolutely amazing. This was our first time booking her and she did an excellent job at making us feel comfortable. Patricia sent tons of photos and updates throughout Kovu’s stay. We truly appreciate the time Kovu bonded with you. Thank you so much. 10/10, definitely recommend 💕.”
“Anton was such a fantastic and attentive sitter. From the moment of my initial message he was super responsive in confirming and offered a video call to introduce his wife, his space, what to expect, and was proactive in learning as much about my pup as possible ahead of the booking. Drop off was easy and amiable, and Mylo seemed immediately comfortable which set the tone for the rest of his stay. I appreciated the daily updates and photos, and give Anton special praise for going above and beyond to make sure my dog was not only watched, but stimulated and cared for with outdoor fun and lots of affection. We hope to book again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend him! :)”
“Great first experience leaving my 5 month-old puppy overnight with Kitty. She was very communicative, exchanging texts and sending pics. It helped me feel at ease being away for the weekend.”
“Erica is the best. This was a very last minute booking and everyone was busy. She was the only one who said yes and it felt like it was meant to be. She took care of my dog very well and I will 100% book her in the future. Thank you Erica”
“Ben took great care of my sweet girl, Penelope, so much that she didn't even notice me when I came to pick her up! He sent many photos and videos of her running around, sleeping, and getting fresh air. I was nervous searching for a dog sitter out of fear of her being mistreated. Ben assuaged all of my fears the second that I met him. His energy is very calm and welcoming. He spoke to his dog, my dog, and a third dog that he was watching with such love and tenderness. I will be contacting him again when I need a sitter.”
“Katerina is the BEST! I had the absolute best experience with her! She is truly amazing. She truly went above and beyond. If I could give her a 100 stars I would!”
“She took very good care of my majesty by sending me videos and lots of pictures I can tell her and her family are very good with bigger dog…..i will definitely be booking with them again sure an amazing family💙”
“Kecia was great and kept us informed about Coco via photos. We picked up our dog and she was happy and as jubilant as ever. We'll definitely be rebooking here!”
“Emerald was lovely and communicative! She sent me lots of photos of my dog and hers playing and hanging out together while I was away, and she was very flexible and understanding regarding arrival and pickup times. Stevie clearly had a wonderful time <3”
“My dog is like my furry kid. He’s very special to me so whenever I have to leave him I get super anxious. Lenford eased that anxiety. He was very warm and welcoming to me and my dog. He made me feel like I had nothing to worry about and that my dog was in caring hands. He’s also really communicative. He sent me lots of pictures and video to keep my updated on how my dog was doing in his care. Lenford is amazing and will be my go to from now on,”
“Steven and his family were great with our dog Sammy! Steven was so communicative and sent multiple pictures throughout the day. We'll definitely be using him again!”
“Five stars for Jane! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I left my beloved pug, Lord Ginsberg, in Jane’s care while I traveled to Mexico, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Lord Ginsberg is not your average dog. He has his own routines, preferences, quirks, and very strong opinions about comfort. Jane understood all of that immediately. Her patience was absolutely legendary, and she took the time to learn his specific needs and little eccentricities without ever making me feel like I was asking too much. What meant so much to me was how communicative she was throughout my trip. She regularly sent adorable photos and videos of Ginsberg, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. Every update made it clear that he was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. Jane is not only responsible and attentive, she’s also warm, funny, and incredibly understanding. The best compliment I can give is that I could tell she truly enjoyed Lord Ginsberg’s company. She wasn’t just watching him, she was spending time with him and appreciating his unique little personality. She even came to understand his profound and unwavering love of cheese, which any true friend of Ginsberg quickly learns is a very important part of his worldview. When I came home, I found a happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pug, and that’s every pet parent’s dream. I can’t thank Jane enough for the care, kindness, humor, patience, and attention she showed him. Anytime I travel in the future, I will be hoping Jane is available to take care of Lord Ginsberg again. She has my highest recommendation.”
“She was amazing ! She took care of my dog yaya , walked her , bathed her , was very sweet to her and made her feel at home , she went out of her way above and beyond of what I was expecting , she even went out and spent her own money on pads my dog needed , I couldn’t make it on the day I was suppose to pick her up and she pushed her schedule to take care of her another extra day , she is decently someone I will continue to use , she was great and I felt really comstarable knowing yaya was with her and that’s a rare thing”

“Desiree is excellent!! I feel so much relief knowing my cat has the best time with her 💗 She is a strong communicator, provides amazing cat content while she visits, and is so sweet :)) Highly recommend!”
“Jacquelyne is amazing and takes wonderful care of my difficult cat! She’s my go-to sitter, and I always know my cat is in great hands with her. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little. At age 7 I had two cats Cookie and Mimi they’re were my best friends. After gaining experience in caring for my own cats I started to pet sit neighbors, friends, and family members cats. I also have experience with kittens, senior cats, and disabled cats.
“Brittany is amazing! Our shy introverted cat Lesia were comfortable around Brittany, and became friendly very quickly, wich is unusual for Lesia. Brittany is a very professional and responsible!”
“Tracy was just amazing and went above and beyond, was always on time and made sure to keep in good contact with me I will definitely be contacting Tracy for any pet needs”
“Anna is truly amazing! She would pick up on my kittie habits and communicate with me very promptly when she feels there may be an issue - no matter how small or big. I really appreciated her attention to detail. Overall, Anna's communication is so timely, clear, and thoughtful. And I think that's a strength like none other. My cats also loved her, I don't think they even missed me. I normally feel bad asking the sitters to send me pictures because personally I think it could be a tad bit annoying, but Anna would send me pics when they are being particularly cute or show me how my cats are cuddling with her non-stop! TL;DR, I am traveling for a wedding next weekend, and I already reached out to her to see if she could help me again. I hope Anna can be my kitties' loving and caring aunt forever! Please don't move from NYC!”
“Vivian was amazing with my kitty Peanut! I had communication with her every visit and she sent multiple pics and updates. Peanut was shy and took some time to warm up to her but Vivian was constant with her attention and helped Peanut to feel secure while we were away. I would hire her again in a heartbeat-if you need a compassionate and dependable person, Vivian is your best bet!”
“Thank you so much, Ariella! We really appreciate you taking care of the cats during our vacation. Your professionalism, thoughtfulness, and dedication do not go unnoticed. My family is beyond satisfied with your service and we are so relieved to have a kind, caring individual like you in the area. Thanks again!”
“Bazarkul is AMAZING! She took such good care of our 4 cats and 100s of plants!! She is extremely dedicated to individual care and gave all of cats specifically what they needed. The cats adored her. The smallest, a feral kitten that we are fostering required extra care when he was injured outside and Bazarkul was able to tend to his wounds with care & ease. In addition to her care, she provided wonderful updates, photos & videos. All these details made our trip stress-free. The garden looks great and the cats are all happy; we will definitely be booking Bazarkul for future trips!!”
“Shannakee did a lovely job with my needy cats! I have 3 large cats that have to eat wet food as part of their diet. She came and cleaned up after them, gave them lots of love and attention and was very responsive.”
“As usual, Mary was awesome. She’s so patient with my shy kitties. She is also so helpful in cleaning. I have an anxious kitty who spits up when she’s upset and Mary took extra care to get everything out of my white shag rug. I’m so thankful to have found Mary!!”
“Keti was wonderful with my cat, I’ve never seen him so friendly with a stranger. He was the happiest I’ve ever seen him after coming back from a trip. She did a great job taking care of him and we couldn’t be happier.”
“Lisseth is so wonderful and has taken such great care of our 3 cats! She is very responsive and gives great updates each day. The apartment and food bowls were kept so clean and her relationship with our kitties made us feel so at ease on vacation. We have booked with Lisseth multiple times and will definitely rebook!”
“Lena was wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our boys! She provided the cutest photos and updates! I felt so relieved and comfortable while we were away because I knew they were in such good hands!❤️🥳”
“Jessie is phenomenal. I have a bunny named Roo and he is (naturally) my baby. Bunnies can be finicky and he doesn’t typically warm up to people quickly, but he LOVED her. She followed all instructions, spent quality time with him over the 4ish days she watched him and sent me plenty of pictures! I’ve had other people watch him before (some of those friends and family) and I have never felt this comfortable leaving him. Don’t hesitate to book Jessie - Roo (me too) is a big fan.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Zu! He needed a friend while I was away and she definitely provided! She also provided all the necessary care and maintenance that comes with a FIV cat. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personal experience rescuing and caring for cats. I currently have two rescue cats of my own—one was adopted from a kill shelter, and the other was rescued after being found abandoned in a trash can as a kitten. Because of their backgrounds, I've learned that every cat is different. Some cats are social and playful, while others need patience, understanding, and time to feel safe. I have experience building trust with shy, anxious, and cautious cats, and I understand the importance of respecting their boundaries while helping them feel comfortable. As both a cat owner and a Registered Nurse, I pay close attention to details, routines, and changes in behavior. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I'll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and a stress-free environment while you're away. I don't just watch cats—I genuinely understand them and love helping them feel safe, secure, and loved.

“Doris is a very sweet and caring person. She took a great care of my Molly. She gave my girl lots of attention and took her out for walks. I’ll definitely get back to Doris for more help with my girl.”
“We love Erica! Highly recommend. She’s amazing and loving and patient. We drive from Deerfield Beach to Aventura to drop off our puppy and I wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️”
“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”
“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”
“Janis took great care of Freya and kept me updated through the day. She was able to sit for me on short notice and was awesome throughout the whole process. Thank you!”

At the end of the day she provided us with a summary of all of River's naps, and potty breaks! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our puppy!”

“Ziwei is super sweet! She was very understanding and accommodating to my dogs specific needs. She made our first rover experience super easy and I felt reassured leaving my dog with her.”
“Britt was absolutely wonderful with Tiny. She and her partner helped me out on short notice and Tiny clearly had a great time and was so well cared for (e.g., letting me know when Tiny didn’t seem to be drinking enough water, checking in after playtime, etc.). Highly highly recommend!”
“Erica is fantastic with Boston. She’s incredibly attentive and warm, and it puts me totally at ease seeing how calm and happy he is around her. I love the way she just takes care of the dogs. Thank you!”
“What a lovely person - I’d give her 100 stars if that were an option. To explain, I had to go into my office LAST minute and at 1230 am it was my first time using this app and I posted requests for someone to basically dog sit for the same day- she was immediately responsive even though it was a last minute request. I saw she had already gotten consistent great reviews and I was worried to leave my 7 week old shih tsu (like a baby) with anyone ) -Jameeka she handles all dog ages - she was responsive, kept me updated throughout the day. I even got stuck in traffic on the way for pick up and was late she was fine. The top 3 reasons I give Jameeka 5 stars is because 1) she is the opposite of stressful and worked with my unique needs, 2) she has great communication skills snd 3) it is clear she is an expert - my puppy was returned perfectly she gave me some updates and my puppy was happy and fell right asleep because Jameeka ensured my puppy got play time and exercise time - thank you !”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Benzo and Theo. The hosts are fantastic and really cared for our pups. They took them on walks. The pups were really happy.”
“She was really responsive and sent updates throughout the day. I felt really secure leaving my new puppy in her very capable hands. She’s also very kind and warm with them, which is super helpful.”
About: Hey! When it comes to loving animals and letting them chill, I’m your person. I’ve taken care of my neighbor, coworker, family and friends’ pets! I love them all and they’ll love my apartment. I cannot wait to take care of yours. I’m a professional writer working from home so I’m in my apt during the day and can spend time looking after your pet and giving them attention if they wish! I have the bay right across the street from my home so that’s where we’ll be walking! If the weather permits, we might even take a stroll to Manhattan Beach! I have a one bedroom apartment with an outdoor balcony and a high fence around it. There is lots of space indoors and out and no other pets live with me.
“Rachel was reliable and straightforward. Good communication and sent updates/pictures of my dog. I didn’t see her full set up but the little I saw (front part) was nice. Sorry it didn’t work out for my dog.”
“Absolutely stellar dog sitting experience! Shen, not only adheres to the pet's routine but goes above and beyond with meticulous attention to detail. From feeding schedules to playtime and walking preferences, every aspect is carefully accounted for. Highly impressed that she even has the whole schedule I provided listed on a sheet of paper. Felt at easing knowing my pup is staying in such exceptional care. Grateful for Shen and his husband who are both wonderful and loving people.”
About: Hi! NYC local here with a HUGE passion for animals. My family and I have been lucky enough to care for two Yorkies, two Pugs, a German Shepherd, a cat, a chinchilla, a guinea pig, a cockatoo, two parakeets, a turtle, a ball python, and finally, saltwater and freshwater aquariums with beautiful fishies and crayfish combined. With years of pet-loving experience, I love meeting, interacting, and playing with animals of all shapes and sizes. Having lived with so many different animals, I truly believe that each pet is its own individual with specialized needs. In nurturing my since passed nearly 18-year-old blind and deaf Lolita independently from just six years old, my huge soft spot for dogs was inevitable. From being around so many different breeds through my uncle's veterinarian business, I am also familiar with specific breed habits and the right approach to each one. I can assure you that I will always be patient and aware of their behavioral communication cues. I understand how difficult it is for you and your pup to be away from each other, so I always strive to meet your pet's every need. Working from home full-time, I have lots of flexibility for long walks and outdoor play which I thoroughly enjoy anyway. Your pet will feel right at home and you will get loads of pupdates with insta-worthy candids while you're away! I ensure your pet is treated just at home and very comfortable with any last-minute plans. Before confirming any jobs, I am also happy to meet with you and your pet if needed; just reach out c:

“Luliia did an excellent job with big boy Enzo. She's responsible and followed all the necessary instructions. She's pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable. I'll definitely recommend her to everyone!👍🏻”
“Ketevan was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my pup, was very understanding of my preferences and really went above and beyond with her service. She also sent updates and responded to my messages promptly. I truly appreciate a sitter like her while I am away from my baby. Would definitely pick her again.”
“Angela did a great job! She was very kind and easy to communicate with. The walk went smoothly, and everything was handled well. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book again.”
About: As soon as I moved out my Mothers house (my mom was allegedly allergic to all animals) the first thing I got before getting my first couch was a cat. I’ve always been a cat lover, they bring me so much joy and peace and would love to be able to take care of your little ones when you need someone to make sure they’re being looked after. I currently have a 1 year old named Yumi 🐈⬛ and a 1 month old kitten named Rami 🖤 🐈 They’re both super sweet. Yumi is usually very closed off in the beginning which is why I separate the cats initially and then slowly initiate an introduction with your fur babies to create a more peaceful atmosphere for everybody. I’ll be working part time. So I am free virtually all weekend. Plus late afternoon/evenings on weekdays! But I’m flexible, just reach out and let me know we can work something out. I live in a nice sized one bedroom apartment where there’s enough room for everyone to play. I have an elevator in my building so it’s very accessible for everybody.
“Jacquelyne was wonderful to work with. She is very sweet, always arrived on time, and give extra time during walks, which I really appreciated. Everything was smooth and easy from start to finish, and I felt my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was wonderful with my dog, Wednesday! She arrived right on time, kept me updated throughout the walk, and let me know about anything she encountered along the way. I really appreciated the photos she sent, which gave me peace of mind and showed that Wednesday was happy and well cared for. Katie was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about providing great service. I was extremely happy with the care she provided and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood. I got my first cat when I was 8, later I had a dog, and since then caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have 4 cats of my own, including pets with special medical needs, and I take pet care very seriously. My mom runs a rescue in my home country, so helping animals is something truly family-based for me. For me, this is not just extra income, I treat pet care as a serious responsibility, and I understand how much trust owners place when leaving their pets with someone. I have experience with rescue animals, senior pets, and cats with serious health conditions, including diabetes, urinary issues, post-surgery recovery, and cancer care. I am calm, patient, and very attentive to detail. Skills & Experience: 1) Administering insulin injections and basic medications 2) Caring for diabetic pets and monitoring health conditions 3) Experience with oncology (cancer) and post-surgery recovery care 4) Senior pet care (gentle handling, comfort-focused care) 5) Cat care: feeding routines, litter care, behavior observation 6) Nail trimming for cats 7) Basic teeth cleaning 8) Dog walking and general dog care experience 9) Experience rescuing and fostering around 10 cats 10) Reliable pet sitting for friends and family when they travel I always treat every pet as my own and make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits into my weekly routine on specific days. Right now, I am available on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I can do morning, afternoon, or even late-night visits depending on the booking. I already care for my own cats every day, including a very strict medical routine. I regularly check blood glucose levels and administer insulin injections twice a day. Because of this, I’m very responsible, consistent, and comfortable following precise schedules without missing details. Even though my availability is limited to certain days, I fully dedicate my time and attention during visits. I make sure every pet receives proper care, monitoring, and calm, attentive support. I always prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I carefully follow each pet’s instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and special medical needs. I have experience with cats requiring insulin injections, health monitoring, and strict daily routines, so I am very responsible and detail-oriented. In any home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free, and I always keep their environment clean and secure.
“Avary was fantastic! You can tell that she is comfortable and experienced. She took her time getting Otis and Maenard comfortable when putting on their harnesses and meeting them for the first time. She taught us some new tricks for an easier time getting dressed, too! She was thorough and had great energy. Excited for more walks in the future! Thank you again, Avary!”
“I can't thank Shanna enough for the incredible job she did walking my dog while I was out of the country. She was reliable, friendly, and clearly has a great rapport with dogs. My dog was happy and well-cared for, and Shanna provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”
About: I have been gaining solid pet sitting experience for about four years now. I love being of real assistance to those in my community and getting to spend time with pets is always such a wonderful experience! Currently, I am taking college classes part-time, but a lot of my coursework is online. This allows me the freedom to care for your pets without sacrificing my daily routine and schedule. I'm fully available on the weekends, and I have great availabilities for weekdays as well! I have a partially fenced yard, and 3 pets staying at my house (1 small breed dog, and 2 foster cats). My house is spacious and has designated areas for the animals to play around in, along with lots of toy and treats of course!
“Erika G has become part of my pups extended family! She is very committed to the dogs and treats them so beautifully! I never worry when she is there in my place! You will not be disappointed with her in your pups life.”
About: Hey! When it comes to loving animals and letting them chill, I’m your person. I’ve taken care of my neighbor, coworker, family and friends’ pets! I love them all and they’ll love my apartment. I cannot wait to take care of yours. I’m a professional writer working from home so I’m in my apt during the day and can spend time looking after your pet and giving them attention if they wish! I have the bay right across the street from my home so that’s where we’ll be walking! If the weather permits, we might even take a stroll to Manhattan Beach! I have a one bedroom apartment with an outdoor balcony and a high fence around it. There is lots of space indoors and out and no other pets live with me.
About: I have had experience caring for pets since I was 7 years old. I have had a range of animals in my care: golden retrievers, chihuahuas, dachshunds, pit bulls, quarter horses, cattle, and a variety of cats. I am a very patient animal person and I really enjoy getting to know each animal for their own preferences and personalities! I regularly take my own dog, a 8 year old Staffordshire Terrier, on 3 walks a day at around 30-45 minutes each time. Her name is Nova and she is a very easygoing pup, and the apple of my eye!! We have a harmonious and loving home and I would treat anyone's pet with as much care and attention as I do with my own. I currently work part time, so I can dog walk almost any time as long as it doesn’t interfere with the rock-climbing classes that I teach during the week and on weekend mornings! I have lots of experience in doing drop-in visits in my child and teenage years, so I like to do long check-ins that range from 30 minutes to an hour for activity, meal time, and cuddling.
About: For the last decade, I’ve spent time lending a helpful hand to furry friends as a dog-walker and pet-sitter. I’ve worked with pit bulls to tabby cats and I believe in the golden rule of pet care - anyone with a wagging tail is a good boy/girl. As a freelancer with my own start up communications consultancy company, ROMADOJA, I approach all new interaction and services with thoroughness, positivity, and flexibility. I’m also a former lifeguard and swim instructor so I’m more than comfortable with making others comfortable and safe in unfamiliar, new spaces and dynamics. Instead of keeping my talents and secret pet whisper ways to family and friend’s pets, I’m on Rover ready to claim the title of your bestie’s other bestie. I’m good with curious puppies, older, wiser hounds and any other personality trait attached to your pet.
About: As a Registered Nurse, I bring a level of observation, responsibility, and attention to detail that helps pet owners feel confident while they’re away. I am comfortable following care plans, administering medications when needed, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet is unique. Some pets want endless playtime, while others need patience, routine, and a gentle approach. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. What you can expect from me: • Reliable and punctual care • Frequent photo and video updates • Experience with medication administration • Attention to senior pets and pets with special needs • A clean, organized, and safety-focused approach • Plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship My goal is to provide the same level of care and dedication to your pets that I bring to caring for others in my nursing career. Animals Currently in House: Male Cat (neutered), Female Cat (spayed) Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I am accustomed to feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and monitoring pets' health and behavior. My work schedule allows me to plan ahead and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I understand the importance of consistency and routine, especially for animals who may become anxious when their owners are away. Whether it's a walk, feeding, medication administration, or simply providing companionship, I make sure pets receive reliable and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently care for two rescue cats—one adopted from a kill shelter and the other rescued after being found abandoned in a trash can—so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with animals. When caring for dogs, I enjoy taking them on walks, visiting local parks, playing games, and practicing basic training and tricks. At home, pets have access to a secure front yard and backyard for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Also, access to unlimited cuddles, water, treats and fun. In a client's home, I follow their pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I also provide regular photo updates so owners can relax knowing their pets are safe, happy, and receiving lots of attention and affection.

“Sam and her family hosted our cockapoo Diamond for a week. Working with Sam was an amazing experience from the first day we inquired! Diamond's stay was amazing, he had lots of fun which we could tell by all the photos that were sent to us. He was loved and taken very good care of for the week. Sam is also a great communicator which was very important to us because Diamond can be a little particular and a picky eater. Sam kept us informed about how Diamond was eating and how he was adapting to his new environment. Hands down we give Sam 10 stars🌟!”

“This was our second stay with Margaret and her daughter and it was a wonderful experience from drop off to pick up! Junior has some behavorial "quirks" and Margaret knew how to keep him happy and safe. Her photos and updating communications made it easy for me to enjoy my vacation with family without worrying or thinking about how Junior was doing. I know I found the perfect place for Junior when I have to leave him home. I intend to book with Margaret again and would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter who treats your dog or cat like they're theirs!”
