“Lizeth was amazing! She took great care of our two cats! She sent frequent updates, including lots of photos. She went above and beyond, even taking time to play with our cats! One of our cats is shy and timid however she felt comfortable and relaxed with Lizeth. I would definitely recommend!”

“This was Jordan’s first time watching our cats Aki and Haru, and we could not be more pleased. Jordan is an excellent communicator and made the process easy for us every step of the way. We loved getting pictures of the kitties, and they seemed to love having a visitor! Jordan made them feel comfortable and cared for. We are so grateful for Jordan’s help and would absolutely recommend them for looking after your furry friends!”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, and adopted a pug of my own 12 years ago, so I understand what an important part of the family pets are. I’ve watched dogs from 2 months to 14 years old, from an overweight chihuahua to an old Great Dane. Currently I have a labradoodle and French bulldog that I’ve raised since they were puppies. Currently working from home, so I have time to pop in and check on your pups, or dog sit on the weekends if you need. I will treat your pets like my own - walking them, administering medications, feeding them, whatever is needed. Happy to help take care of your pets.
“Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hello. I grew up with 2 dogs (golden retriever and a rescue), and now I have 2 cats of my own. I would love to take care of your furry friends. While they are under my care, I will keep them safe, clean, and happy. For l visits, I will make sure they are fed, have clean water, clean litter, played, and taken out side for a good walk. I will treat your pets just like the way I want my cat to be treated while I am away. I am available for a drop in visit early in the morning, after 5pm on weekdays. For service during the day time and on the weekends, please send me a message. I always make sure that your pets feels secure looking at their reactions. For example, the other day my client's dog stop moving on a cold snowy day. It turns out that he does not like to be wet. For my other client's puppy, he decided not to go for a walk because he did not like his coat. Both times, I contact my clients and solved the issue in timely manner.

Jeffrey M.
“I highly recommend Jeffrey as a dog sitter on Rover. He has many years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and his passion for animals is immediately clear to anyone who knows him. Jeffrey is currently the proud owner of a lovable Labradoodle and a playful French Bulldog, both of whom are incredibly well cared for and happy. He goes above and beyond to ensure their physical and emotional needs are met—whether that means long walks, playtime, grooming, or simply offering a calm, loving presence. In addition to being responsible and attentive, Jeffrey has a natural connection with animals. Dogs gravitate toward him, and he’s quick to notice and respond to their needs. His home is a safe, clean, and welcoming environment, and he always prioritizes the well-being of the dogs in his care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly dedicated to dogs, Jeffrey would be an excellent choice.”

We highly recommend Madison. She is reliable, communicative and just so easy to work with. Our dog and cat both have some additional needs (separation anxiety, medicated food, etc) and she did a great job understanding them and keeping them calm, safe and happy.
I left my two mid sized dogs, aged 12 and 6, and two cats, for four days and three nights with Meagan. My pets loved her and she was great with them. I met her about a month before the visit when she came to meet my dogs, but she came back the night before we left to reacquaint with them. Meagan did three drop in visits per day, one was supposed to be a hour visit, but she adjusted partway because my dogs were struggling a bit and shifted it to two visits being 45 min each instead. I was so happy that she was able to be responsive to their needs and be flexible! One of my dogs is 12 1/2 and this was his first time ever being alone at night, she was very reassuring and sent me a lot of information about him, but was honest and told me when he was having a little bit of a hard time too. I appreciated that! She sent tons of pictures and was super responsive when I texted midway through our trip. She gave detailed information each visit. She was also super prompt, even though I told her that our schedule was a bit fluid and she didn’t have to be there at any exact time. I would definitely recommend choosing Meagan to watch your pets and will probably use her again for different needs in the future! Thank you Meagan!
Leah did a wonderful job with Sachi! She is prompt, responsive, and obviously cares a lot about animals. The regular updates and photos eased my worries about being away from my senior girl. I came home to a calm and content cat - and a nice clean litterbox! I would happily book with Leah again, and I hope I get the opportunity to!
This was the first time that Talia has sat for us and we were pleased with the experience. She was punctual each day and did everything we asked of her. Julie is very shy, but she did greet Talia each day and seemed OK in the pictures Talia sent us, which was very reassuring to us. We also appreciated the daily updates from Talia.
Our dogs LOVE Brittany! It’s been absolutely wonderful to find a sitter we trust and feel comfortable letting into our home while we’re away. It’s given us so much more freedom to travel knowing we have a reliable and responsible sitter loving our dogs!
Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.
Sarah was INCREDIBLE! We got daily updates, an amazing blog post, and SO MANY PHOTOS. Raimi was not just cared for, she was loved. Sarah is very communicative and kept us updated about the time of her visits at all times. I know Sarah will be our go to for whenever we need to leave Raimi (as long as she’s available, of course).
Casey was great! During the orientation visit, she was professional, and genuinely interested in making sure my cat Dahlia was well taken care of. Casey was prompt and timely with her check ins, including pictures and thoughtful updates in all of them. (In fact my notoriously shy cat took to her very quickly.) I have rebooked her for another week later this year and look forward to having her back.
