“Jennifer is fantastic. She was able to give medication to one of our cats daily on time without problems. We very much appreciated her detailed communications on a daily basis, including sending pictures to show us how they were doing, during feeding time and play time. She informed us of any concerns she had noticed of our cats. She gave us a lot comfort that our cats were happy and relaxed.”
“Katie and Zayn took a great care of my cat Connor while I was away for 5 days. They were very considerate and attentive to details. I could easily tell how much they love animals and they treated my cat so well! While my cat did not require any special care I did happen to have an emergency during my last day of trip, they reacted immediately and helped me a lot with the issue. Arranging and booking with them was super fast and easy as well!”
“Kelly is the absolute best. This was our first time on Rover, and her communications were clear and quick, and she did great work reassuring us that our pup was in good hands. Loved the photographs, and really appreciated the time she took to communicate with us by phone and by text. We’re only slightly concerned that our pup now likes her more than us! 😀 Hugely impressed with Kelly - she’ll take fab care of your pups.”
“Carmen was great. Went on a short get away and when I returned by cat, Sheba was in good spirits. She fed her correctly and was very communicative with us. Felt comfortable while I was away and felt Sheba was in great hands. Will more than likely book with Carmen again.”
“Deb looked after our cat while we were away for about 10 days and provided excellent care that went above and beyond our expectations. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet in your absence, look no further.”
“Jonathan has been fantastic with my newly adopted and shy cat! He left a t-shirt prior to visits so she would get used to his smell (she did!), so that Eleanor was out of her hiding places when he came. I got daily updates, and Jonathan checked in on changing the temp in the house as the weather got warmer. I will be going back to Jonathan in the future for the care and reliability.”

About: When you love dogs or cats that love will always be with you whether you’re caring for your own pets or someone else’s. I believe pets should be treated like people, with love and a concern for their comfort, happiness and well being. After owning a family retail business for many years, and then working for a major national bank, it was time for a change. Why not do something that involves my love for pets? Dog walking was the answer. For the past eight years I've been delivering dog walking services to pet owners, ensuring strict supervision of pets during excursions while providing a safe and nurturing environment for dogs with different needs, temperaments and medical conditions. Most importantly, you can rest assured that the safety, security and well being of your dog will always be my number one priority. I'm available for dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs or cats, Monday through Friday between 8 am & 4 pm. I’m not usually available on weekends, however, if you’re in a bind and need a walk or a visit on a Saturday or a Sunday, and I have no plans that weekend, I most likely will be able to do it as long as it’s no later than 12 pm. For your dog's safety, dogs are prolific sniffers, inevitably putting things in their mouths that they shouldn't. I pay close attention to and keep a watchful eye on the ground to make sure your dog doesn't put anything in its mouth that can be harmful. In the unlikely event your dog or cat needs medical attention, I’m certified in cat and dog first aid by the American Red Cross.
“Jennifer was thankfully able to help us with house sitting our 3 high maintenance very loved kitties when the person we had arranged to come couldn't anymore. She sent us lots of pictures and left the house neat. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 18 years old, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I also have professional experience in pet grooming, having worked as both a bather and a dog groomer. This gives me an edge in handling pets gently and confidently, especially during bath time or when dealing with nervous or high-energy pets. Whether it’s daily care, grooming needs, or providing extra attention to puppies or senior pets, I bring patience, skill, and genuine love for animals to every job. I am currently working in a Pet Grooming as a dog groomer during the week. My availability is only on weekends but I am open for a conversation. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and loved. I follow any instructions provided closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or special preferences—and I always take the time to build trust with each animal at their own pace

Janayah is a lovely cat sitter and I highly recommend her. She read and followed all my instructions and took good care of my cat Luna. She provided a couple photos each visit. She played with Luna, kept the litter tidy for her, made sure her food plates were cleaned out and rotated. She has been very responsive in her communication and handled everything well while I was away on vacation. I came back to seeing everything neat and clean in the house as well.
Alyssa took great care of our house and cat while we were away for a week. She was a great communicator, friendly and trustworthy, consistent with timing of her visits, and took great pics of our kitty. She respected our home and made sure to lock up when she left. Thank you Alyssa!
My partner and I hired Jojo to take care of our bearded dragon multiple times over the last few months as we worked through the process of moving across the country. I had to take multiple trips back-and-forth and Jojo was there for us every time. We are devastated that we can’t pack Jojo up with the rest of our apartment, because we can’t imagine finding a better pet sitter!
It was our first time leaving our 10 months old kittens and they seem to have been well cared for. Molly was very communicative with me before and during our absence. The house wasn't torn to shreds so they must have been ok! We will definitely call on her again.
