“We are so grateful to Erica for taking such great care of our cat, Herman, while we were away! She was dependable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Herman took to her right away—and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We loved getting photo updates and seeing how happy and comfortable he looked. Highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a kind, responsible sitter!”


“I am so anxious with leaving any of my family (cats) alone. Leora was so good with them! Shes been communicative the whole way... Sent photos every day and gave us updates. I am so glad we found her. Thank you so much. Sincerely!!!”


“Our cats are good judges of character, and they LOVE Emily. We love the pictures she takes of them, the great job she does of caring for them and playing with them, and how professional and trustworthy she's proven to be”


“Jason agreed to check in on the cats semi-last minute - and did a great job as usual! I definitely recommend him and will be hiring him for more cat care in the future!”


“Jennifer was amazing! She was very professional and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire time (about 2 weeks). We had a walkthrough about 3 months before our trip and she reached out to do a refresher run through shortly before we left to make sure she didn't miss anything, which was greatly appreciated. She left thorough notes after each visit. My kitties are generally pretty shy when it comes to new people but they warmed up to her very quickly! Would definitely have Jennifer care for my babies again!”



“María is wonderful!!! Clementine loves her so much, that once Maria arrives our cat jumps on her chest and cuddles with her! We are so lucky to have Maria to help us out with Clem we we are out of town!”


“Brianna is a superhero for my cat today! She just saved my baby boy from starving. 🥹 It was a last-minute booking, and I was so glad she was able to meet my expectations or i'd say she's beyond my expectations! We didn't have a pre-visit; I just gave her instructions, and she nailed it. She even wanted to do something extra, like take out the trash. I will definitely recommend her, and I hope to see her again to take care of our cat. Thank you again, Brianna!”


About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and it’s been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve looked after pups of all sizes—from a tiny 8 lb dachshund to strong, lovable 100 lb pitbull mix. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, each with their own needs and personalities. I currently live with two spayed female dogs who are well-socialized and have peacefully cohabitated with several foster dogs since last year. I regularly volunteer with Border Tails Rescue, providing a safe, nurturing home for dogs in transition. Through fostering, I’ve gained deep experience with behavior observation, gentle training, and helping anxious or shy dogs feel secure. I’ve managed feeding routines, administered medications, and supported dogs through recovery and adjustment periods. I’m especially mindful of canine body language and group dynamics, and I only accept dogs who are friendly with others to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I treat every pup with patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want for my own. 🐶 When dog sitting, I am home all day so your pup will have lots of attention. On the rare occasion I do leave the house, it's never for more than 4 hours at a time. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly, playful dogs—Miley, a 50 lb mixed breed, and a 75 lb American Bully—who are well-socialized and enjoy respectful canine company. My securely fenced yard provides space for supervised outdoor play, and my middle school children, who are also well-versed in watching and caring for dogs, help ensure everyone feels safe and supported. I only accept dogs who are known to be dog-friendly to maintain a positive, secure environment for all.

“Gabrielle was wonderful. We have two cats and they’re not the ‘usual’ and come with a few higher demands. While it might be a work in progress… as we’d expect… it all seemed to go smoothly with one warming up nicely. The other has to ‘think about it’ for a while LOL. She kept the house (she house + cat sit), cats and peripherals in order with no complaints at all. She was here quite a lot with the cats so we absolutely appreciate that. Already have her signed up for another venture!”


“Daniel was great with our cat, Alaska! He visited her six times while we were out of town and was so sweet and patient with her. He kept us updated after every visit, which made us feel really at ease while we were away. Would definitely recommend him and will absolutely book with him again!”


About: I’m a proud husband, father, and lifelong animal lover — especially when it comes to cats. Caring is in my nature, whether it’s my own kids or your feline family members. For over 15 years, I’ve been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to feed, play with, and love cats of all ages and personalities. I tailor my care to match each cat’s unique needs and temperament. I work full-time in tech, but animals have always been my true passion. Rover gives me the perfect way to spend more time doing what I love — caring for cats and giving them the attention, love, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. My promise? Your cat will feel safe, loved, and treated like my own from the moment we meet. I work part-time hours within my tech role, which gives me flexibility to spend quality time with your cats. I’m available for drop-in visits on weekdays after 2pm and on weekends, and I’ll always adapt to your cat’s needs and your schedule. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care right in your home so they can stay in their familiar environment, which reduces stress and keeps their routine consistent. I’m dependable, attentive, and always follow your instructions to the letter — from feeding schedules to medications to special playtime preferences.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m currently a stay-at-home pup parent, training our new puppy to become a therapy dog—so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I bring that same love and dedication to every pet I care for. I also have experience with cat sitting, so I’m comfortable with multi-pet households. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some calm company, or extra attention, I’m here to treat them like family. As a stay-at-home puppy mom, pet care is truly part of my everyday life. I spend several hours each day working on training, socializing, and caring for our puppy, who we're raising to become a therapy dog. This means my schedule naturally revolves around animals—and I love it that way! I'm available Monday through Thursday for walks and drop-ins, and I bring the same patience, structure, and love to your pets as I do with my own. When it comes to pet care, safety and trust are my top priorities. At home, I create a calm, secure environment with consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and lots of love. I’m always attentive to my puppy’s needs and use gentle, reward-based training to build confidence and good behavior. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or on a walk, I treat them with the same level of attention, respect, and care I give my own. You can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands.

“We really regret that only five stars are available to rate Thea’s service because she deserved all the stars!!! We don't have enough words to express our appreciation of Thea's care for our cat Jess, while we were out of town for six days. Jess is a large 14 year old Maine Coon cat, that at this point of his life, seeking a lot of love and attention. Thea was a great companion to Jess and she gifted us a worry free vacation. We knew she is always next to Jess and we did not worry about a cat! From day one, we learned that Thea is a loving, intelligent, disciplined, responsible, and a very creative person. She put a lot of extra miles by learning Jess's eating habit and sharing her thoughts with us. She took Jess outside for a walk, played with Jess and advanced him to be active! She also decorated Jess’s corner with the colorful balloons on his birthday. Thea constantly sent us the, pictures, videos and messages with the updates on Jess's wellbeing. No doubts, Thea is the best and we highly recommend her to every loving pets owners!”


“Yuliia did an awesome job checking in on my two cats. Very thorough with plenty of pictures and the cats loved the extra attention and play time. Definitely recommend Yuliia!”


“Would highly recommend Andrea. She stayed overnight at my apartment with my 2 cats for 12 days. She gave them wet food twice a day with medicine and wasn't bothered when they woke her up at 5:30am. Would definitely use again!”


About: I have owned dogs sense I was I’d say 6, once I turned 10 I started offering family and friends to watch their animals, which included feeding, playing with, walking, bathing, grooming. I am currently not working, I am currently enrolled in online classes to become a horse trainer, so I am open pretty much always sense all my classes are set paced I don’t offer in home services but I do have a dog of my own you can request that I bring him over to play, he is house trained, but is afraid of big dogs so small dog owners only! I worked for a dog day care company so I have a wide variety of experience with dogs all ages and sizes, as well as basic training in dog first aid.


“Spencer was a blessing. I was nervous to leave my pets for an extended time and he helped ease my nerves and made it so easy. He's very polite and you can tell he loves animals. I got pictures every night and they seemed perfectly content hanging out with him. Thank you Spencer!”


About: I have two daughters that are 9 and 11. They grew up with a 100 pound pitbull dog. He was always so gentle with them, as I made sure the girls were gentle with him as well. We love meeting new dogs because they all have different personalities and it’s very fun for us. I do have a Monday through Friday job, but I work from home 3 days out of the week. I would walk your fur babies before I go to work and as soon as I get home on the days o go in the office. I don’t work weekends so those days they will get a walk more often and play. My kids and I decided to do this because we live animals. My goal is to make your pets feel at home and make your time away from them less stressful. Please reach out for price discounts. I have a Monday-Friday job. I always get home by 3:30pm. I am able to work from home if necessary. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to work. I have two daughters who love to play and snuggle with animals. Your pets will receive a ton of love, attention and play time all around.
