Raven was a wonderful sitter! She arrived on time, communicated well throughout the stays, and took great care of my dog. She also left thorough notes & pictures for me to review while I was gone! Trust her, your animals will be in good hands. I plan to rebook with her for future care!

We have had 10+ sitters and a ton of visits through rover and Joe was hands down our favorite so far. We had two senior dogs who need a lot of assistance and have a lot of meds to take. Joe came over and met them before hand and was so patient gaining our dogs trust and getting to know them. He brought in our packages that came, took such good care of them and gave so many great updates. He made our long weekend away so good knowing they were in great hands. 10/10 recommend him for going above and beyond :)

Nupur did a fantastic job with drop-in visits to take care of my cats while I was away for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Great communication, both in person and in her post-visit summaries. I felt at ease knowing that my cats would be well taken care of. She even brought packages inside for me that had been delivered while I was away.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, we frequently had both cats and dogs in the house. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for about 2 years before working there for 1 year. I have pet sat for a family every summer for the last 8 years or so and I also worked at a pet boarding place 1 summer. I'm currently working part-time so I will absolutely have time to take care of your pet! I can stay overnight and take care of a pet, and only work an average of six hours a day so I still have plenty of time to spend with a pet! I spend a lot of time hanging out with and getting to know each pet in order to meet their needs. I can play, walk, and feed pets as well as just be a calming presence if that is helpful for them.

Emily was great! She made time to come by and see our cat prior to our trip which was nice since this was our first time using a cat sitter. It definitely put our minds at ease. Her drop-in reports with pictures were fun to get and she communicated when she was going to do a drop-in a little late due to bad weather. We would definitely use her again!

Alejandra did a wonderful job with my girl! She did 30 minute drop in visits on my cat for 4 days while I was on vacation. She did an excellent job each time giving her treats, food, water and scooping her litter box. She spent time giving my girl lots of pets and scratches and love. We had a great meet and greet and she followed all my instructions carefully. I appreciated her excellent communication and she sent me several pictures from each day’s visit. She took great care of and attention to my girl. Highly recommend and will book her again in the future!

Heaven did an amazing job keeping my cat Kali company while I was gone! I was nervous about leaving her for a couple of days, but Heaven kept me updated whenever she checked on her, which gave me the reassurance I needed. She was also flexible with dropping off the keys to my place once I got back. I highly recommend her, she obviously cares a lot about animals!

Olivia is so great with our boys and our home! Our standoffish cats both come out to see her every time she visits. She is very communicative with us about how they’re doing and takes initiative with things like vacuuming litter and washing their food bowls. We never have to worry about our boys when we are on trips because we know she takes such excellent care of them.
