“Elizabeth was a fantastic sitter. She was always very responsive to questions, flexible with scheduling and meeting times, and thorough when caring for my cat. My cat requires medication and Elizabeth was great about sending photos confirming that the medication was given, food was given, and the litter box was cleaned. She also spent a lot of time with my cat on each visit. I would feel very comfortable letting her care for my cat again.”
“Ana did such a wonderful job checking in on my cat, Skitty! She sent descriptive updates and photos of her time spent with him and communicated very well. Thank you so much, Ana!!!”
“Kloe is my go-to sitter. She always goes above an beyond. My cat is not easy to deal with and Kloe has always been so kind to her. She even took her for a walk once(cuz’ my cat loves that). Couldn’t recommend enough 🫶🏼”
“This is the first time we've used Rover and previously always had the benefit of a family member to watch Cinni when away. With only a couple of weeks, we suddenly needed to find an alternative. After scouring reviews on Rover we contacted Lisa M, who very fortunately for us was available. Lisa M arrived promptly at the schedule time each day to care for Cinni and provided thorough updates that quickly set our minds at ease and provided us with some great photos of our kitty. Furthermore, Lisa M was able to successfully medicate Cinni each visit, and those cat owners whose pets require medication know how challenging this can be. Based on our experience enthusiastically recommend Lisa M for anyone else who needs a cat sitter and will be contacting her as soon as I schedule our next trip to ensure she is available to care for Cinni.”
“I’ve booked Meili twice so far to feed my cat and take care of litter etc and she has been wonderful. She stays for 30 minutes and genuinely cares for my cat. My cat is so happy when she’s here, I can tell. I look forward to booking her again.”
“Absolutely fantastic cat sitter!! My babies were fed and happy boys when I came home. Anna was super communicative and thorough! I highly recommend her and will be hiring her again for future bookings ☺️ My little Boo and Sully were happy kitties :)”
About: We have a zoo of our own: 2 golden retrievers and 3 cats. We'd love to help care for your baby while you are away! I have raised dogs all my life, and have work experience in a dog grooming facility. I can administer medication, cater to special diets, and any special requirements that your furry family member may need. Sammi is full time tattoo artist with a flexible schedule and Jerry is a UX designer who works remotely. We are an animal-loving couple who can take on pet sitting requests depending on who is free. We will be predominantly offering drop-in service at our clients' homes and providing dog-walking services. Since we have dogs and cats at our own home, we will not be able to provide boarding service at our home.

About: I have lived with cats my whole life so I am very comfortable with them and know how to read them, even ones that are on the more temperamental side. I also have experience taking care of kittens. Dogs and cats both love me because I love to give them attention and am happy to play or cuddle with them. I have experience caring for dogs with challenges such as PTSD and anxiety. Currently this is my main job, so I have a lot of availability and can devote a lot of time and attention to your pet.
