Victoria watched our anxious eight-year-old cat for a week. Every day, we looked forward to receiving cute pictures and a description of the visit. When we returned, our cat was noticeably happier and healthier than he has been after visits from previous pet sitters. Victoria gave our pet plenty of love and attention. You can tell that she really cares about the animals she pet sits.

Sarah took amazing care of our 3 crazy cats! It’s the first time we have returned from a trip to find calm, relaxed cats. She even gave our asthmatic kitty her inhaler daily, which is definitely tricky. Everything was perfect.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I work remotely so I'm home constantly. I regularly monitor my pets and make sure they are comfortable. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.

Pete loves animals and is phenomenal with them. He’s cared for my dogs and cat numerous times now, and I trust him with them more than anyone else. They do, too - Pete is hands down each of my animals’ favorite human. We feel so safe knowing that Pete is caring for and nurturing our fur babies like he does his own. Five stars isn’t enough for Pete!!

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with daily care like feeding, walks, litter boxes, and playtime, and I also have experience with special care, including medications and pets that need extra attention. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule with regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and playtime in mind, and I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy building pet care into my day and make sure each pet gets consistent attention, not just quick drop-ins. Whether pets are in my home or their own, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, and have a clean, safe environment. I respect house rules in clients’ homes and always keep owners updated, and in my home I provide a calm, pet-friendly space. I’m also comfortable handling special care needs like medications or extra monitoring.

About: I go above and beyond to make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for. As a nursing student, I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive. I’m great with puppies and also have experience caring for senior dogs. I used to help care for my grandparents’ senior Pomeranian, and I also have a Shiba Inu puppy of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. My goal is to give your pet the same comfort and attention they would get at home. I’m a full-time student, so I’m available early mornings on Mondays and Tuesdays for drop-in visits or walks. The rest of the week I have afternoon classes, but I’m always happy to talk with clients to find a time that works. My schedule is wide open on weekends, so I can be very flexible with visits then! In my home, I have two floors so your dog can stay wherever you feel most comfortable. I also have a crate if your dog is crate-trained or needs some alone time in a quiet space. I have a fenced backyard where your dog can safely play, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I also have my own Shiba Inu puppy at home, but if you prefer your dog to be the only pet, I can have my puppy stay at another house during your booking. In your home, I always follow your routine closely so your pet feels safe! I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of love and attention. I truly treat every pet like my own and want them to feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

We had 2 extra cats in the house over the Christmas holiday, and Anastasia & Ivan took care of all 4! One evening, they spent over an hour here because a cat who needed medicine was hiding from them. I am impressed with their dedication and the fact that they found her in the end!

About: Caring for animals has been a central part of my life for many years. I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, animals with medical needs, and those who are anxious, fearful, or easily stressed. I’m especially attentive to pets who require patience, routine, and a calm presence. I know how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort and adjust my approach accordingly, always prioritizing safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. I’m comfortable administering medication, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining strict routines. I treat every pet with the same level of respect and compassion I would want for my own, and I provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m organized, punctual, and flexible, and because of my deep love and respect for animals, I always do my best to go above and beyond when needed. I’m willing to adjust my schedule whenever possible to accommodate special situations, emergencies, or pets who need extra time, patience, or care. With my background in law enforcement, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect in every home I enter. Because animals are incredibly important to me, I always do everything I can to meet their needs and adapt to unexpected situations. I carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, and create a calm, low-stress environment—especially for anxious, stressed, or medically sensitive pets. I’m attentive, proactive, and always focused on your pet’s comfort, well-being, and safety.

Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!

Yong was an excellent Rover sitter for my cats. He was incredibly diligent, followed every instruction exactly, and made sure their medications were administered properly—which was especially important to me. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with him again.

We’ve had several different cat sitters over the years as we moved through different neighborhoods, and Rivera is by far the best we’ve ever had and my cat’s absolute favorite. My cat, who is usually shy with new people, warmed up to her right away. Rivera sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I am away. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and is reliable, she’s the one.
