“Eleanor is great! Lister needed some drop in visits and warmed up to her pretty quick. She even took him for a walk around the block and was quite intuitive about when Lister was in a mood to walk and when not. Great communication! Would definitely book again”

“Alyssa has caries out drop in visits with our rabbit and age has done a great job. Checking in daily on him making sure he got food, fresh water, hay and vegstables. Alyssa has been very service minded, responsible, and communicative sending us daily status and pictures. Highly recommending her and I will definitly place a rebooking the next time we need a rabbit sitter.”

“Zhao did such a wonderful job watching over Dumpling ☺️ She is so thorough in leaving detailed reports, pictures, and videos, and I could always tell throughout that Dumpling was so happy under her care 😁 I will definitely always rebook Zhao as my sitter. She is the best!!”


About: I grew up with dogs, and have provided dog walking and sitting to friends and family for years. I'm comfortable walking and caring for dogs of any breed, size, and quirks! I'm available most afternoons and some evenings- my schedule is very flexible! I'm happy to work with you if there is a specific scheduling need. I'm happy to work with you and your dog's needs to make sure they are comfortable in their home. I'm experienced with feeding, crating, belly rubs, and everything in between!
“Naomi was phenomenal! I needed a last minute drop in and she was incredibly responsive and composed. I appreciated all the updates I got from Naomi. Thank you again, my pup Momo and I highly recommend her! 🤍🐶”

“Amanda is lovely and a clear animal lover. She will take time out of her day to have a meet-and-greet prior to the visits, and make sure she understand you and your pets needs. She is also great about letting you know the details of each visit, including how your pet is generally doing (energy and affection levels). Thanks so much, Amanda!”
“Samantha took excellent care of our cat Brisket. She was on time and did everything we asked, and more. She also responded promptly and really helped us out so close to the holidays. Thank you!”

“Tira took care of our cat, Skittles, for a week while we were traveling. She took wonderful care of her and is a great communicator. We received daily updates and photos. Skittles was so happy to see her and enjoyed her visits. I would definitely recommend Tira. :)”

“Michael is our go-to catsitter. I especially appreciated his availability when we took a last minute weekend trip. We’re sure our cat Reyna looks forward to his visits too!”

“Katinka was fantastic--she cuddled our cat and took care of his medicine. I came back after a five day trip and he acted as if I had just been gone for a few hours. I highly recommend her!”


About: My schedule is quite open and I can be quite flexible depending on your sitting needs, as I recently graduated with my Masters and am on the job hunt. I am primarily available weekdays during the business day, but don't hesitate to ask about evenings and weekends as well. First and foremost, I make sure to respect your wishes for where your pet is allowed to go and which activities you want me to engage with with your cat. I am happy to make sure your cats are fed and watered, have been given their medications, or have just been given a little bit of attention!
“Isabelle did a great job! Our cat seemed very happy from the visit photos. Isabelle was very communicative and punctual, and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away.”

Caterina visits our puppy weekly, taking her for walks, feeding her, and playing with her. She is so reliable, so great at communicating, and our dog adores her! This is my first time using Rover, so I was nervous, but I’m lucky to have found a great sitter!!

Bonnie was an absolute lifesaver during the blizzard. When our flight got cancelled, Bonnie made sure that our cat would have food even if she couldn’t make it over during the storm. She kept us updated every step of the way. Bonnie truly cares about the pets she’s taking care of, and we knew that Scully was in good hands despite all the unforeseen circumstances. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
