“Ally was just perfect. We had a great experience. She completed all that was requested to ensure our first session went smoothly. We had peace of mind knowing that our cat was well cared for.”

“Our normal cat sitter had a family emergency and canceled our reservations. Meaghan was willing to help us on short notice. She did a fantastic job. We received daily updates and pictures. We had added a bunch of extra chores for her, one of the cats needing medication as such. She even kept up with vacuuming up the tiny bits of food that can tend to be thrown around when the cats eat. We came home to relaxed kitties and a clean house. We intended to contact her first if we ever have the need. Highly recommend!”

“Erin is great. One of the cats gets anxious when we leave and had a couple of accidents outside the litter box. Erin was so kind and understanding. She is the best. I feel so at ease watching my babies. I would highly recommend Erin.”


About: I have over two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, providing compassionate, reliable care for pets of all temperaments and needs. I can assist with daily care such as walking, feeding, playtime, grooming, and cleaning, as well as advanced medical care including administering medications (pill, liquid, and injectable), feeding tube support, and subcutaneous fluids. I also previously volunteered at a humane society, where I helped socialize, feed, and care for adoptable pets. I’ve worked with everything from anxious dogs to “spicy” cats and always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong animal lover, I have been caring for pets since I was young and currently have four cats of my own—Zora, Mara, Fae, and Jinx. Caring for my own pets has strengthened my understanding of the patience, attention, and trust that pet parents value most. I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of care and compassion for your furry family members. I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant, but I always make time to provide attentive care for your furry family members. I am typically available 4–6 days per week and keep my schedule updated regularly. If you have any specific requests or scheduling needs, feel free to message me directly—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! I will care for your furbabies with kindness, respect, and attention to their individual needs. I work closely with pet parents to understand each pet’s temperament, routines, and boundaries while providing a safe, stimulating, and comfortable environment. I also keep homes clean, monitor pets during walks and visits, and communicate any concerns or unusual behavior to ensure the best possible care and a trusting relationship with every client.
About: I've fostered dogs for years, but i currently work at a dog boarding/daycare facility so I have a good idea of how to take care of animals properly. I have a full time job at a dog kennel, but I'm very open outside of that. Do to me working semi long hours, it may be a longer time between potty breaks. I have a big yard, however it's not fenced it. I would prefer to take care of the pets in their home rather than my own.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I’ve watched family and friends pets since I was a kid and have always wanted a house full of dogs! I currently have 2 dogs. A senior and a puppy so I have experience with all ages and breeds. I’m not working and currently walk my puppy 2-3 times per day. My pup loves other dogs and would love some company on walks and play! I walk my senior dog once a day and my puppy 2-3 times per day depending on the weather. I’m always looking for new games and activities to do with them and have lots of time to do so!
About: I have had pet dogs and cats my whole life, and they have always been a cherished part of my family. I currently live in a non-pet-friendly apartment building, so Rover gives me the opportunity to care for pets while I can’t have one of my own. I work at a warehouse on second shift, so I am gone in the evenings and head back home around 1am. When housesitting, I’m able to provide care to your pets during the day until I leave for work at 3:30 pm i will do my best to adhere to your normal routine with your pets, and ensure that they are exercised, fed, and pottied before I leave for work. It is my goal to adhere to your pets’ normal routine as much as possible. When I am watching someone’s pets for the first time, I request details about their schedule, eating and play habits, special quirks, etc so that I am prepared to give them consistent and attentive care.
“Thanks so much for watching Riggins!!! Your communication was amazing - and we could really feel that he was in good hands!! Ps our neighbor said you were amazing and did such a wonderful job watching him!! Thanks so much!”
About: I have personally taken care of guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and many dogs. My friends have trusted me to house sit for them multiple times so I am responsible and easily able to take care of multiple pets and the same time. One of my friends has had turtles, hedgehogs, and fish so I also have some aquatic experience as well. I take care of my rabbit every day by giving him more food, water, and hay. I also let him out of his cage almost every day so he can get exercise and I can watch him the whole time. When I am with my dogs I take them on walks, feed them, give them water, and clean up after their messes. I am always making sure that my pets are not getting into anything that they are not getting into and I have built up my trust with them that they will all come when I call them, at least for the most part. At a client's house, I will keep track of the pets and make sure that they are being safe, have enough water, getting fed regularly, and let outside whenever they need to go out along with walks when it is nice out.
About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.
“Rachel was excellent with our kitties. They were content, well fed and their litter box was spotless. They give a big thumbs up for Rachel and want her to come back!!! Thank you so much, Rachel!”
“Thank you Shannon for taking care of Milo and Chief this week! Your promptness and reliability really relieved worry for me on how long the dogs would be in the crates without a break. I appreciate the daily walks! Thanks again! You’re definitely recommend and I’ll reach out to you again when needed!”
