“Isabelle did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were traveling! She was very responsive on chat, and took amazingly cute photos of our boy during each check-in (I seriously don't know how she captured so many with him sticking his tongue out). We also really appreciate her flexibility with scheduling a last-minute meet-and-greet prior to our trip. Highly recommended and would totally book again.”
“Kathleen was great! Her attention to detail and regular feedback put us at ease, especially since it was our first time using Rover. 10/10 would recommend Kathleen for your furry fam :)”

I would love the honor of caring for your pet whether you’re away or they just need a walk :) I’m currently working full time, but usually end my days by 3pm so I will have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to check on your companions! I am also able to stop by in the mornings before 7. I am available on weekends at anytime as long as it is scheduled in advance! I am able to take your dog for a walk and/or a run!

About: Experienced cat sitter and special education teacher bringing calm, reliability, and patience to every visit. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and have been helping care for them since I was about 11 to 12 years old, giving me over 20 years of hands-on experience. I have cared for cats through all life stages, including complex medical needs, senior care, and post-surgery recovery for my own and my partner’s cats. I also provide trusted cat sitting for other families, with consistent positive feedback. I focus on keeping cats comfortable in their routine, offering attentive care, updates, photos, and quality companionship during every visit with a calm, caring approach and a good sense of humor. I currently work as a special ed teacher throughout the school year, but I am available during vacations, for example the upcoming April vacation and summer vacation, as well as weekends and evenings. During vacations and weekends I am available throughout the day I am very comfortable taking care of cats and pets in other people's homes. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager as well as babysitting since I was a preteen. It is important to respect the homeowners/pet owners wishes, followed their schedule of care and anything else that is requested.
About: I am a recent college grad spending some time on my own, but greatly missing my pets! I have experience with all kinds of animals including medically complex pets, seniors, puppies, doodles and other hairy friends, and more! I am a part time intern working about 20 hours per week looking for some friends to fill my downtime. I can look after your animals any time of day with this flexibility. Good for weekdays and weekends! I follow a strict schedule with animals. Feeding routines, walks, treats, and training are all scheduled and followed to a T in my household. This makes it easy for me to apply these in other households.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and caring for animals gives me the ability to get more in touch with myself and my environment! Currently, I am working seasonally and part time so I have plenty of time for animals of all nature! I adjust fast and am eager to care for your pet's needs. My living space is a closed environment with many open windows and natural light. I have a back patio where I let my cats roam on a lease when they feel outdoorsy! I go on frequent walks and have many toys to keep both the pups and kittens entertained.
About: Hi, I’m Lavender! I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own.

With a gentle, patient approach and a big heart for all animals, you can count on me for dependable care and plenty of attention.

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have been training dogs for 2+ years. My passion for training began when I got my Belgian Malinois Harper who I have trained and competed with across various different dog sport organizations in things like obedience, nosework, and more. I have a lot of experience with everything from high energy adult dogs to puppies requiring strict routines and everything in between. I have a flexible schedule and am available some evenings and weekends to care for your furry family member as if they were my own. I always operate with the utmost care for your dog. My dogs are my closest family members and I take the same level of care with yours. I am careful to avoid situations with other dogs we don’t know, make sure leashes and doors are always secure, and of course I make sure I always have the best treats.
“Kayla was fantastic! She worked with us on our last-minute request and took great care of our fur baby and gave us peace of mind about leaving him at home while we were traveling. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Cassie was dependable and on time. She did great with my dogs. I will be hiring her for future pet sitting needs-- although I don't travel often, it is nice having a trusted pet sitter when needed. Highly recommend!”
About: Howdy! I'm available to drop in on your fur-pals or take them out for a walk. I'm happy to make sure they are doing well, that their food and water situation is exactly how it should be, and to make sure your dog, as the kid say, "touches grass." Let me know how I can help. I'm a long time pet owner myself and I know there are times when things are busy and you just need an extra set of hands to make sure your dog or cat is all set. I'm currently taking the summer off and looking to get my steps in and would love to do it with your best buddies! Let me know how I can help keep your pet happy & healthy. I'm delighted to drop in on your pets and make sure they are safe, secure, and have everything they need! Just let me know what their routine is & we'll get it done.
“Alayna took great care of our cat, spending extra time with her and making sure she understood how her medication worked. She was flexible and understanding when last minute illness changed our plans.”
“Matthew is an absolute dream of a cat sitter. He went above and beyond for our cat Ellie. He not only got her out of her hiding but also made sure to check up on her food litter and water regularly. He was also very helpful around the house. He voluntarily took out our trash and vacuumed the area where our cat had spilled litter. He worked with us on our weird arrangement of getting into the apartment and always updated us whether we replied or not. I would 100% recommend Matthew to anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.”
“Sabine was great. She took care of my big girl Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and you could tell she loves animals and that she new how to interact with cats. Suka came up to her and let her pet her on the meet and greet. I would hire Sabine again.”
“Great communication amidst holiday craziness and last minute changes to my plans due to unexpected illness on my part. Will be happy to work to Sue again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was a child, and have taken care of friends and families pets for many years as well. I have even had neighbors rely on me to check on their pets when they are out of town. I also used to volunteer at my local animal shelter, which was such a great experience! I am currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm. I am also a student and have class Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, leaving me unavailable on those days for now. I am mostly available in the evening, and on weekends and holidays. I care for my own pets and others by consistently checking water bowls, bathroom areas, and keeping a consistent food schedule. I love to give lots of pets and cuddles if that’s what the pet likes!

We are so thrilled to have discovered Carol! She is knowledgeable, caring, and was so great with our dog. We'd only had our dog Josie for 1.5 months and it was our first time away since adopting her. Carol came for drop ins and went above and beyond to make sure that Josie felt comfortable throughout the trip. She kept us updated with photos and details and gave us such peace of mind while being away. We can't wait to book Carol again!
Alyssa took amazing care of my dog and cat while I was away for a work trip. She was very kind and understanding about my nerves of being away and leaving them but she was able to ease my worries with all of her detailed updates and many pictures of my pets. Thank you so much Alyssa!
Natasha was Great! She watched over our 4-month old puppy while we went out on our own for the first time. She got him through the whining and right into playing, training and resting. She took pictures, and gave us a thoughtful report on what she saw, based on her experience in training dogs. Highly recommended!
Stitches’ tail doesn’t wiggle for just anybody—but with Julia, it never stops! He can instantly sense her great energy, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy he feels around her. She’s so patient, caring, and attentive with him, and even in just 30 minutes, she makes such a positive difference in his day. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Julia is truly amazing with him, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and sitter! 🐾
Timmy is the best! He did such a great job taking care of my Border Collie Moose. Timmy is very communicative and took better photos of my dog than I have in recent days lol. I appreciate Timmy’s professionalism and I know Moose misses him already. Two thumbs way up for Timmy!
