Robin went above and beyond to help care for our two elderly cats while we were away for ten days. (One of them has incontinence issues so definitely a challenging situation). We would highly recommend her and hope she is willing to to cat sit for us again in the future. :0)

We had a mishap with our app to let Olivia into our complex - she was so great and patient. We really are so grateful for Olivia and her pictures with Kiki show how much they have bonded! We thank you so much!

Erika took care of our two cats (and our tortoise) for over a week! She was prompt, responsive, and we loved the adorable pictures she sent us every day. Our kitties got plenty of love while we were gone! I would love to have her come back in the future when we travel.

Vera stepped in as a last-minute replacement, and I’m so grateful she did! She followed all of my detailed instructions and was very intuitive with my persnickety cat. She also sent very charming and kind updates. Highly recommend!

Jill was excellent for my cat sitting needs. She kept me informed each day about the food, water & litter box situation. Jill also spent time playing with my cat & even had to clean up a fur ball. I highly recommend Jill as a cat sitter.

We recently had the pleasure of having Theresa care for our two kittens and guinea pigs while we were away, and we couldn't be happier with her service! She was incredibly attentive, making sure all of our pets' needs were met with great care. Her kindness and love for animals were evident in how she interacted with them, and it was clear that they felt comfortable and safe in her care. She kept us updated regularly, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Theresa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

On weekends, I am available - late afternoons, some mornings/late nights shifts (with proper communication). I provide care in your home, following your pet’s routine closely.

Your pet stays secure, understood, and consistently well cared for.

About: I have a dog myself, he is a nine-year-old Maltese! I’ve also watched my cousins 2 German shepherds while he works! I have a lot of experience! I work in Homecare and I make my own hours! So I can be flexible with any hours that I take! It really makes it easy to fit both jobs into the week and make sure that I’m taken care of as many people / animals as I can! My Maltese is an indoor dog other than going outside to go potty. He is very spoiled, and he is mostly always with me! I give him walks daily, bathe him every week or couple weeks depending! He gets groomed monthly! So it’s always in my best intention to make sure he’s very taken care of!

About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.

Overall, I would rate Lindsay as a good pet-sitter. Prior to our vacation, she was very timely in responding to my messages and she also modified the Rover.com charges to a very reasonable rate for her visits with our 2 cats. It was while we were gone that I felt she fell short. My first issue was with her inconsistency in providing updates on the visits - there was a photo and thorough recap on the 1st day, but on subsequent days there was less detail and on one day there was no update at all. My second issue was with the timing of her visits. I had made it very clear that it was important to check in during the early afternoon, but at least twice she didn't visit until the evening. My third issue was with attention to detail - I had left very specific notes about the cats' food/water/litter and it didn't seem that she had followed them. Lastly, my greatest concern was with the well-being of our female cat and her being bullied by the male cat in our absence. We came back to find that she had a facial injury and had urinated in a chair out of fear. All-in-all our pets were reasonably cared for, but I was definitely disappointed. Lindsay is a very nice girl and I'm sure she had the best intentions. I think the issues may have been due to lack of experience or perhaps I wasn't clear enough on stressing the importance of certain things. (To those reading this review, please note that I have very high expectations for the care of my pets and I think Lindsay is absolutely capable of meeting the needs of a less demanding client.)

About: There are multiple reasons why I would be the perfect person to take care of your pet! I worked at Guiding eyes for the Blind where I helped train and care for labs and German shepherds. I have worked at a dog kennel and a veterinary center where I provide top care to the client's pets. I aid dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, healthy to unwell, teacup to gigantic. I have also dog sat for multiple friends for days on end. I currently have a 14 year old lab mix that I have taken care of since I was a teenager. I also have a 2 year old lab pup with tons of energy. I prefer to hike my dogs in the woods and let them explore and chase the squirrels. We play fetch and tug of war. I could do the same with your dog! With this experience, I know that dogs need lots of care and love with some fun and snuggles! I am currently going to school to be an ultrasound technician and would love some extra work on the side. My schedule changes with each semester but the best type of study breaks are outside and playing with fur babies. I will follow your instructions closely on how to properly care for your pet. I will make sure that safety is the number one concern to make sure that everyone is well taken care of.

Vera is wonderful! We needed someone to check on our 3 kitties super last minute while we were away because the house got too hot & we were worried about them overheating. She was super accommodating and the cats all loved her, even our oldest who is terrified of strangers. We now knows who we’ll ask to check in on them on future trips. Thanks so much Vera!
