Top rated Wakefield pet sitters

“I have been using Leo for a little over a month now. I highly recommend him. Super great with communication, very attentive with my dog and super flexible. Biggie (my big boy) loves him and enjoys his time with him.”


“Erin has taken care of our cockapoo Polly several times. Polly is always relaxed and well cared for when we return. We have complete confidence in Erin and believe Erin and Polly are close companions”


“Our cat adored Elisangela! She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures and updates. She even checked to make sure our pet cam was working daily! Will definitely recommend her to all of our friends and will book her again when needed!”


“Laurie has walked our dog and fed our cat while on vacation. She is one of the best pet sitters we have used. Great pictures and detailed updates every day. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Punctual, professional, and friendly. Our pup (12 weeks) took to Carmen immediately. She always sends updates and pictures after a drop in. I highly recommend Carmen's services!”


“Fernanda has been absolutely amazing taking care of my cat this week. My cat is super picky, but she warmed up to Fernanda right away, which never happens. Fernanda is so kind and clearly understands how much my cat means to me. She sent daily updates and photos that honestly made my whole day while I’ve been away. I can tell my kitty has found a new best friend. I’m so grateful. Thank you, Fernanda!”


“Laura is great and my puppy loves her! Shes great with a pup who’s still learning her manners. Knowing she was coming to hang out with Eloise put my mind at ease when I started going back to the office after adopting her. Definitely recommend!”



“Tanya did a great job looking after our cat! Our cat is super shy and has never let any Rover sitters get too close or interact, so Tanya's visits were very straight forward (refill food, check house is warm enough, make sure our cat hadn't gotten out, etc.) We didn't have any special requests that were super specific or difficult, but none-the-less we came back to a healthy kitty!”


About: In the past 4 years, my husband started working at a dog daycare, and our home became even more pet-friendly—we’re fully immersed in the dog world now. I often take care of pets while their humans are away or traveling, and sometimes our place becomes their temporary home for a few hours. I don’t work full-time with pups, but every gap in my schedule is a perfect excuse to spend time with furry friends. It’s truly one of my favorite things to do! I’m currently available full-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pup when you need it most! Whether it’s walks, or quick visits, I’m here to help—especially on weekends and after 2pm on weekdays. While I don’t have a yard, I make up for it with safe and energizing walks that help your pup release energy and stay happy!

About: I’m a dog person! I love meeting new dogs and spending time with them. I’ve taken care of dogs off and on for 20 years (not including my own). I currently have a rat terrier mix - Roxie - who LOVES dog friends and is very playful. I’m a big walker and have experience with dogs on trails as well as in neighborhoods. I’d take care of your dog like my own. Most of my experience is for extended stay house-sitting for families with multiple dogs. I’m not able to have cats in my apartment, but love meeting cats in their own space and would be sure they were well loved and taken care of in your absence. I work from home full-time and have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available most times of the day. I can work around complicated calendars! I have a fenced yard and a VERY friendly rat-terrier mix named Roxie. For house sitting, Roxie can come with me or stay behind, but she’s great with dogs off all sizes and I’m very careful when bringing her into another dog’s space.

“Jordan came to the rescue when our last cat sitter unexpectedly backed out. He's been very accommodating and went to check on our cat same night. He also sent us tons of photos so we know our cat is well taken care of”


About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! My best memories are bringing them to lakes growing up and playing in the water with them! I’m currently working full-time but I want to help take care of your pets on the side! After 6pm on weekdays work, along with any time on the weekend with a notice! Smoke-free apartment unit and a lot of walking trails around! I can accommodate to anyone’s living environment! I love going to parks with my dog.

“Rosemary was an amazing caretaker for our two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time for check-ins, gave detailed reports of her visit & tons of photos. She went above and beyond caring for our cats (and finding them in their many hiding spots); we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience.”


“Charlene took wonderful care of our cat. She was professional, trustworthy and kind. Because of her we felt so confident going on vacation knowing that our kitty was so well cared for.”


“My overall experience with Karline was great. She was very communicative and responsive immediately. Karline took the time to answer questions about the visits and showed an interest in my dogs need. I received pictures and updates after each visit and she showed up on time everyday. Highly recommended!”


“We can’t say enough good things about Yuzhou! She has been absolutely amazing with our dogs—so caring, patient, and attentive. Our pups are always sooo excited to see her and come home happy and well-exercised after every walk. We also love the detailed updates she sends after each visit—it gives us such peace of mind knowing the boys are so well cared for. Yuzhou truly treats our pups like family, and we feel so lucky to have her!”


About: I make a very good friend for pets. I don't have any of my own, but other people's pets usually love me. I've been taking care of pets since I was a teen, mostly pet sitting or drop-ins for feedings and hangouts. Have experience with dogs and cats. I currently work from home and have been trying to get out and take more walks in the afternoon during my break. Might as well bring a furry friend along for some company and motivation! I'm available weekdays in the late morning through early afternoon. I also live pretty close to a dog park that I frequent with my partner and her puppy. I like to make sure pets are comfortable around me, always checking to make sure their body language is telling me it's okay before I try to reach out and pet them.

“Frances was great and flexible! She took great care of my cat and was very responsive to all of my requests of getting more photos, leaving notes, pick up/drop off keys etc. I would recommend her to take care of any of your furry friends!”
