“Great first time using Rover with Alyssa! Our meet and greet was very comforting and she helped me understand the app better during that time before booking with her. During the visits, she left detailed reports and got cute photos of my cat. I definitely would recommend Alyssa for any of your pet needs!”

“Sasha was a diligent and kind sitter for our cat. He’s an energetic cat but Sasha kept him entertained, loved, and most importantly safe during the holiday season. I highly recommend you retain her services.”

About: Cats and dogs have always been the fur babies of my family. I have a bunch of dog cousins and I've raised and cared for several cats in my life through all stages of life. I work 8 hr shifts (6:30 am-3pm or 1pm-9pm). Outside of work, typically would run errands, but if i could, i would be able to walk or pet sit. I have worked full time and pet sit in the past. It would be great to pet sit because I love pets, but don't have them here in the city. Because I don't have pets here, however I would be able to pet sit either at my place or the clients place. I have a safe one bedroom apartment so I would always be near the fur baby if I am hosting. There are no other pet that could potentially cause discomfort for the client pet. I love to cuddle and play with cats, but i can also be patient and wait for them to come to me. I also have skills to administer topical and oral medicine if necessary.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 8 years of dog-sitting experience and 5+ years of being a dog owner myself. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs a relaxing day at home, lots of playtime, or long walks, I’m here to provide reliable and attentive care tailored to their needs. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors, so if your dog loves fresh air and long walks, we’ll get along great! I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care every step of the way. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine. I work just 8 minutes from home, so I’m able to come back in the afternoons to walk and check in on any canine friend. I also spend my mornings and evenings outside on long walks, and I’d love for your dog to join! Because of my schedule, dogs are never left alone for more than about 4 hours at a time. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and time outdoors throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and secure. I follow each dog’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or any specific instructions—to help them feel at home. I never leave dogs alone for more than about 4 hours, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and outdoor time every day. I’m always attentive to their behavior and needs, and I keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime to ensure their safety. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines, and I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible for your pet. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet will always be treated with the same care, attention, and love as my own.
“Susie was great with my Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and communicative. Suka is not used to meeting new people and can be an intimidating large cat, but Susie knew to give Suka her space and wait for when she’s ready. Suka warmed up to her and was side swiping her and rubbing against her. I’d hire Susie again.”


“Alison treated our cat very well while we were away. She was able to give him his medicine with no issues and sent us lots of photos of them playing. Our cat can be a bit feisty, so it was great to see her manage him so well.”

“Grace is awesome! She is very communicative and happily worked with my random schedule. I couldn’t be happier. And my dog loves Grace as well. He is all about people but he knows his favorites and Grace is one of them. She is great to work with!”


About: I supported and dog-sat a recently adopted dog from an abusive environment over the past four years. Happy to work with anxious dogs or dogs that need lots of quiet time and space. Patient with different needs. I work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays and can shift responsibilities around to visit before and after work and at lunch, or stay during the day to work. I'm very careful with cats or dogs that try to escape and experienced with keeping them in when I enter or exit. I'm watchful for dogs picking up food on walks and generally watchful for safety.

“Absolutely amazing care! Pictures and updates were thorough and Mackenzie made sure our cats were comfortable with her by taking the time to give them space and slowly get used to her. 100 would recommend!”

“Emma was attentive with our two playful kittens! She followed feeding instructions to the letter, played with and petted them, and overall preserved our peace of mind. She showed up precisely on time for daily drop ins and provided detailed report cards. Would highly recommend her as a cat sitter!”

“Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!”

“Rebecca communicated well before we met and throughout the weekend, as well as provided adorable photos and updates during her visits. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

“will definitely be booking again! Professional, calming presence for the cats and took lots of beautiful pictures of the cats while we were away! Grateful to have found a sitter this good!”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always been involved in caring for them. My own dogs have included seniors who needed extra patience, daily medications and even injections, so I’m comfortable caring for older pets and following specific care routines. I’ve also grown up around and care for many other animals. I have a degree in Wildlife Conservation Biology and gained extensive hands-on animal care experience during my time at Kildare Wildlife Rescue, where I cared for a wide variety of injured and recovering animals. I’m patient, attentive and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m generally working Tuesday-Thursday but I’m available for morning and evening walks or drop-ins on those days. I’m very flexible Monday and Friday-Sunday and can often accommodate daytime visits, house sitting and consistent weekend care. I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away. I’ll follow your pets normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, medications, walks, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and health and will keep you updated with photos and messages. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave it clean, secure and just as I found it.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and communication I provide. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else because I’ve cared for my own dog for the past 12 years. I follow their routine closely, and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time job with a flexible schedule, including a few work-from-home days each week, which allows me to provide reliable care and plenty of attention. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and spending time with dogs are something I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives the care, exercise, and affection they deserve while their owner is away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Sasha was very communicative with me about her schedule, the drop ins, and how my cats were doing. She gave me detailed updates and really made being away from my cats for the first time much easier because I knew they were in good hands. One of my cats is not a lap cat at all, and she even sat with Sasha on the last day of drop ins, which goes to show how great Sasha was with them!

This was my second time working with Dennis and he once again went above and beyond to make sure my senior kitty Sasha is taken care of. He is great with Sasha and put a lot of care into both ensuring that she was fed and received her medications, as well as made sure she received lots of pets and attention. Would definitely recommend!

Isabel was fantastic as always. She sent so many pictures and I know my cats had an absolute blast with her. She always provides very thorough updates and I feel a little better leaving them alone when she’s taking care of them. Would definitely work with her again!

Liza always takes the time to love on my kitty the way she needs it best. She is accommodating and how she communicates about my kitty makes me know without a doubt that she loves my kitty just as much as if she were her own. That is priceless! Liza will always be my go-to sitter.

Alissa was absolutely amazing with my husky. She took great care of her, great communication, and very good at accommodating my dog’s needs. I felt very safe knowing that my girl is being taken care of. I definitely will be booking with her again and I highly recommend her :)

Mia was absolutely amazing with my kitty. She was patient and understanding when he was being shy, and took great care with his food and other needs while I was away. She sent updates and photos, kept the apartment clean, and has been just a pleasure to work with. I will definitely book her again.
