“Olivia kept our cat feeling safe, happy, and comfy at home while we were away for over a week! Most definitely recommend booking through her!”
“She was amazing with my two cats. They are a little skittish around new people, but she was patient and they warmed up to her so quickly. One of my kitties has digestive issues and sometimes goes outside the box, and she was amazing with cleaning up, which I didn't even ask of her (my friend was in charge of messes). From the moment she met them, she was warm and excited to see them, which is one of the biggest comforts I can get. Highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
“We give Jacqueline a 10/5!! She is the sweetest and with it being our first time not having family watch our furbabies she made us feel very comfortable going out of town. She sent pictures/videos daily (I told her she needs to be a photographer with the cutest pictures she was sending) & gave detailed updates on Minka. We highly recommend Jacqueline & am so happy we found someone we can trust!!”
“I contacted Audrey last minute as I decided not to board my two cats for when I was gone on a family vacation. Audrey was quick to set up a meet and greet. She was super friendly with my cats and the girls warmed up to her quickly. I’m so glad I had someone to check in on them on short notice and especially a fellow cat mom ☺️”
“Caroline was amazing with our cats! She gave timely, detailed updates with pictures. We really appreciated hearing how our pets were doing/feeling. I will absolutely ask Caroline to watch the cats the next time we are out of town!”
“Amazing! Was reliable and updated me right when she was with my two cats. Even was able to get the one who is a bit more skiddish to pet him! Which means a lot.”
“Andrea provided excellent care and love for our pup when she checked in on him! She also sent some nice pictures and updates on how he was doing!”
“I was away for the first time after moving to a new place and she helped in more ways than I expected. Highly recommend her for anyone new to the area or dog/cat sitting in general”
“Jessica was an excellent choice to catsit while we were away for Christmas. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures each visit. She was also kind enough to take out our trash, bring in the mail, and she kept the litterbox spotless. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Deborah always shares photos of her time with my boys. Stops by to pick up the key and always friendly!”
“Thank you for the wonderful care for Minny while we were away. Messages were very clear and informative and the pictures were wonderful. I appreciated timely communication for anything unexpected. Really appreciate all the thoughtful consideration and care!”
“Kloey and Logan went above and beyond while we were away! They sent detailed updates and awesome pictures that helped the sad feelings of separation from our cats. Will for sure be rebooking with them in the future!!”
“Lori watched our 3 cats for 11 days while we were visiting family When we unexpectedly lost our 4th cat, Quilla, two days before the booking she quickly offered her condolences and refunded that portion of the booking without us having asked. She sent pictures with each visit which was appreciated. Also, she kept the floor of the cat areas tidy beyond just scooping the box and feeding/watering, which we have often asked sitters to do but rarely had follow through with - we and our babies appreciated it!”
“We really appreciate Mariah's availability and reliability on dropping in on our cat to give him some attention and feed him canned food.This is our 4th repeat booking with Mariah and I highly recommend her.”
“Katie did a great job checking in on our three pugs! She was punctual and maintained their routines, providing us with great updates and pictures with each visit! We will absolutely book with Katie again! :)”
“Rain has been an absolute star taking care of my two cat. Rain was fully engaged in all the communications and proceedings from the start to the end, and beyond. Both cats have complex medical needs, Momo are more challenging, requiring a specific type of care, equaling to vet nurse treatment, which is not for the faint hearted. Especially since momo had pills and syringe med to take. And yumi is extremely picky at the litter box. Rain didn’t bat an eyelid at this at all, and took superb care of both of them. On top of that, Chris provided a detailed update after each visit, accompanied by the most beautiful photos of my furbabies. You are an amazing cat/dog nanny anyone can ask for :). I am so grateful for your help, Rain! Thank you!”
About: I have had pets my entire adult life, and I know how important it is to you to find the right person to take care of them while you’re away. I am committed to taking care of your pets like they’re my own, and I’m excited to provide lots of love and fun! I work from home, and my husband is a full time dad, so we’d be happy to spend time with your pets, go for walks as a family, and see to their every need! We have pet gates throughout the home, extra kennels if needed, and a fenced in yard. We are also comfortable giving medication orally or via injection if needed.
“I came home to 2 really happy fur babies. Elliana was so prompt, responsive, and caring. She sent many cute pics and videos and even brushed Coco and got a nasty knot out. She went above and beyond! She was willing to watch my 2 cats, Coco, and Clara with short notice and on a Holiday!”

Hayley & Zach K.
“Hayley looked after my two cats while I was away, and I was very pleased with the care she provided. She was reliable, respectful of my home, and clearly experienced with cats. Both of mine can be a bit shy around new people, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. She kept everything tidy, followed feeding instructions carefully, and even took the time to play with them and send me a few updates. It was reassuring to know they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful cat sitter.”

First time using Rover AND a pet sitter and it was so easy and care free. Will definitely rebook with Marc. Loved seeing all the photos of my fur babies :)

Tim & Jenna did an awesome job looking after Simba while we were away. He is a super shy cat but they made sure he felt comfortable! Would definitely recommend them for drop-in sitting.
