“Julia did great with our boys! Gave great notes at the end of each check in that let us know our boys were in good hands:) We really appreciate everything Julia did and highly recommend!”


“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”


“Taylor was amazing!! We were referred to her by a coworker and she was awesome! When she first came into our home, our cats immediately approached her and wanted her attention. She took lots of photos of our cats and gave written updates everyday about what the cats were up to. Our cats can be very rambunctious and Taylor played with them and kept them entertained. We are so grateful for her service! :)”


“From the moment I met Elizabeth at our meet & greet, I felt like she was the cat sitter for us, and she didn't disappoint. She did a wonderful job caring for our pets and communicating with us. She left our home spotless and we returned to happy, calm animals. I'd give her 6 stars if I could!”


“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”


“Cecelia is the absolute best!! The most straightforward and easy experience we have had with booking a pet sitter. She was able to get my VERY nervy cat to eat and even come out for affection during her visits. She sent thorough updates and photos with every visit and was incredibly responsive. I can’t recommend enough!”


“Ceanna dropped in for visits with our cats while we were on vacation. One of the cats has special needs and takes medication twice a day. Ceanna was attentive as we went through our routine and have each of our 2 cats lots of love. She sent pics after each visit which we loved seeing! Thanks Ceanna!”


“Alan was excellent with my cat's and provided great communication! Rory is usually very shy and won't come out for anybody but he was able to coax him out and give him some pets! 🥰”



“This was our first experience with Rover and the entire process was perfect. From Tabitha's meet and greet with my cats, I knew we were in good hands. Tabitha worked with our schedule, kept us in the know with texts and pictures, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was not offended by our "skeptical of all new people" Millie and managed the needs and meds of our 22 year old Emi with gentle care and attention. Tabitha is a keeper!!!”


“Mitzi was absolutely fabulous!! I always try to find a cat-sitter who has experience with cats and they were very very fast friends. Mitzi kept me updated frequently throughout the weekend and was so sweet!”


“Jane was a fantastic pet sitter for our two cats. She stayed at our house, fed, and kept our two lively young cats company. She sent us pictures during the stay so we could see that they were doing well. She made our vacation so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Will definitely use her again in the future.”


“AMAZING!! She took such good care of my cats, and made sure I knew everything at all times! I got 15+ photos every day, and a super detailed description! Will definitely be booking her again.”


About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family since I was a preteen! I am compassionate, reliable, and fun loving. As many of my closest pals have pups of their own, I would consider myself a professional pet-auntie! I look forward to becoming a trusted caretaker and friend of your beloved furry baby too! I am an English teacher, so I have a very flexible schedule during the day during the summer! I like to spend time outside, running, reading, watching movies, or getting coffee with friends. If your pet is down for an adventure, I will take them anywhere they want to go with me. I am available for whatever in home services you need- from dropping in for walks or visits, to staying to keep your fur baby company all night. For those looking for overnight services, I work as a waitress in the evenings (4 nights a week), so your pet(s) must be okay being alone 6-8 hours. However, nights that I do work, I prefer to chill at home during the morning/afternoon. So your baby won’t be missing any TLC<3 I have experience caring for dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me that your pup will get the specialized care (and lots of love) they need while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have a huge love for them! Many friends and family have relied on me to care for their dogs ranging from any type and age! I also love to walk and am great taking dogs with me! I am currently working part time which makes me very flexible and easily available to get anywhere in a short time! I am able to let your dog out as many times as it needs and dedicate playtime! My yard is fully fenced and I have a very friendly golden retriever! I am able to take your dog anywhere, give it the medicine it needs, and take your dog on long or short walks!

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for small dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know their unique personalities and quirks. Each dog is a little bundle of joy, whether they’re a spirited Chihuahua, a playful Pomeranian, or a heart-melting Maltese. Working with small dogs of all temperaments has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and adaptability in providing the best care possible. For small dog owners, I take pride in not just being a caregiver, but a partner in promoting a healthy, happy life for their furry family members. Every wag of the tail or playful bark serves as a reminder of the bond we cultivate together. Whether it’s through fostering their individual needs or simply providing comforting companionship, I find joy in every moment spent with these delicate little souls. In the world of small dogs, every paw print speaks love, and I’m honored to be a part of their journey. I work part-time with animals, and they are my passion so I make all the time I can for them! I can provide quick bathroom breaks, or long enriching walks. Small dogs often benefit from personalized care. I take pride in being a dedicated walker or sitter that can cater to their specific needs and preferences during each visit. I have experience with senior dogs, feeding schedules, and basic enrichment needs as well.
