“Lisa did such a nice job taking care of my cat Oscar, and we will definitely hire her for future trips! Super professional and reliable, excellent communication. Returned to find a happy kitty who had clearly been well cared for. Thank you so much Lisa!”
“This was my second time booking with Jessica, and once again she did a great job! My cats were well cared for, and I appreciated the updates while I was away. Highly recommend!!”
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
“Jen is amazing. I could not ask for a better cat sitter. She really connected with my cat Bubba and spoiled him like her own and gave me a peace of mind while traveling. I’m so grateful I found her and will continue to request her services.”
“Olivia did an awesome job ! It's always hard trusting someone to care for your babies but she gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cat warmed up to her right away which made me happy that they had company while I was gone 🥰 she even took the initiative to clean up and always reached out if she had any questions. She was quick to respond, followed all care instructions, and the communication was great! Lots of pics ☺️ I highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit for me again !”
“Chris was a lifesaver! I needed a cat sitter last minute and he promptly responded, went to see my cat, fed her, played with her, and sent me pictures. Thank you Chris!”
“Jessica was very accommodating with my relatively short notice trip. One of my cats can be very shy but he felt comfortable enough to come for most of her visits. Everything looked great when I returned home. I would definitely use Jessica again!”
“Spencer exhibits exceptional kindness and compassion. From their initial meeting, Atlas has held a deep admiration for Spencer. He thoughtfully provided treats to enhance her experience and demonstrates remarkable gentleness and care in his interactions. Furthermore, Spencer consistently shares photographs and maintains communication both during and after each visit. I highly encourage potential clients to consider his services, as he is truly outstanding in his role.”
“Kaprice was kind and patient with our cat Dot while we were away. She followed our care instructions, left visit notes, and gave Dot lots of pets. I would recommend hiring her to care for your furry family member!”
About: I’ve had several large breed dogs since I was a child. I am comfortable handling dogs that pull and are like little tanks. My rottie used to stop and sniff everything, and he set our pace on walks. I’m an adjunct English professor, so I can also help your pets with their college admission essays.I am open all summer, but will be teaching in the evenings this fall. I can’t currently care for your pets in my apartment, because my cats said no, but I will be respectful and careful in your home.
“We had confidence in Heather looking after our cats from the moment we met her at the meet and greet. She did an amazing job looking after the cats sending us updates and keeping us informed on how they were doing. We definitely will be using her again when we go away.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, from playful puppies to senior pups, and I’ve always loved caring for them. Right now, being single and working in healthcare means my schedule doesn’t allow me to have a dog of my own, so I pour all that love and attention into the pets I walk and care for. Every dog I meet gets the same patience, playfulness, and affection I gave my own growing up. I work three days a week as a Physician Assistant, which means I have multiple days off, sometimes during the week, sometimes on weekends. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with your schedule. My availability can be flexible week to week, so there’s a good chance we can find a time that works for you and your pup. I live alone in a cozy one-bedroom apartment, which means your pup will get my full attention without other pets or people. Right across the street is a beautiful park which is perfect for safe, fun walks and plenty of adventures. I always make sure pets are secure on leash, keep a close eye on their comfort, and provide a calm, loving environment where they can relax and feel at home or let out all their energy!
About: Very patient with pets. I’ve cared for different types of dogs and sizes since 9 years old including some puppy training, cleaning up after them, feeding them and even washing the pet if needed also I’m pretty timely and your pet will have enough backyard space to play around or play indoors. I’ll be working part time and the days i will be available for now are Sundays after 3 pm then Wednesdays and Thursday’s at anytime. I have a dog gate inside my house if needed as well no harmful products near by . Also I have family members who love dogs and will give plenty of love and attention to your pet so they feel cared for. My backyard has a huge dog cage just in case for separation if anything. Lastly I currently have no pets so no jealously will happen.
About: Hello! my name is Kayla and I have owned a dog for a long as I can remember starting at age 4. I also worked at a doggie daycare for about three years where I obtained experience working with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Daily tasks there included: play time, food prep and feeding, and medication administration. I currently work 3 days a week, so I have a ton of availability on my days off! Those days can differ from week to week so feel free to reach out and I will let you know if I’m available I am confident in my ability to keep your pup safe during our interactions. I am cognizant that’s dogs may rush the door when a new visitor is arriving, i am always checking doors behind me. If your pup needs to be fed during my visit I will be thorough in following any feeding directions you leave.
About: five years ago today i got my rescue mutt, jackson, & he is an absolute treasure to me. i've got a nice backyard, dog parks, hiking trails, & beaches nearby. jack is especially gentle with small dogs & children & perfectly well-behaved with everyone else except squirrels & cats. i'm a freelance musician so my schedule varies a lot - some weeks i'm available 24-7, others i'm working down in nyc, or further out of town. i'm in the process of shifting towards a more local life & will update this space as that process continues, but for now, just ask & i'll answer right away. big backyard with tall fences, me & my very friendly small lab mutt mix (50 lbs), comfy home with lots of great places to run & play nearby - anything else, just ask.

Will 100% book Angela again! She was flexible in accommodating my request after another sitter cancelled last minute and she did great with my cats. She had no issue administering medication to my geriatric guy and even bonded with my more skittish girl. She also took great photos :-)
I needed a pet sitter on short notice for multiple visits in one day, and my usual pet sitter was out of town. I found Rebecca on Rover, contacted her, and we scheduled a meet and greet. I had an immediate comfort level with her and had no qualms about leaving my “kids” under her care or giving her access to my house, so arrangements were made for the drop-in visits. After each visit she sent updates along with great photos. Anyone who’s a pet parent knows how much we love hearing about the kids and getting those photos! In the photos, it was apparent that my dogs were having a good time and enjoying their time with Rebecca. I would not hesitate to make arrangements with Rebecca again, and I highly recommend her to others!
Thanks for taking care of Colt and Ripley, including giving medications. Each visit included multiple pictures and updates about concerns I had previously expressed (medications, not eating, etc.). Marisa was very easy to work with and communicative. I would definitely rebook!
Mikayla and Justin are simply great. They took great care of my dog Thelma, who can be very skiddish as she is a rescue. Mikayla and Justin spent ample time letting Thelma warm up to them before taking her out for a walk. I would 10/10 recommend them for any pet care and I will definitely be booking them again for Thelma!

I highly encourage potential clients to consider his services, as he is truly outstanding in his role.
Courtney was AMAZING with our furbabies! We loved Courtney's humorous updates and photos from each drop-in visit. Courtney did exactly what we asked and more. She cared for our pets as if they were her own. She understood their needs and personalities, and we were very happy with how fast they warmed up to her. We will definitely be using Courtney again! Thank you so much!
