“Julie has been quite wonderful. I feel at ease and I trust the level of care she brings to my dog, Milo. She is professional, respectful, and attentive with her work. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Shane did a great job taking care of my older dog over the weekend. He has quickly earned Gizmo’s trust. I look forward to the report and pictures from each visit.”
“I can’t say enough about how great Abbey was! I had a last minute booking and a very nervous cat. She sent lots of pictures and really communicated well. Cleo really bonded with her and it gave me great peace of mind while I was away.”

About: I have taken care of anything from giant farm dogs to tiny orange kittens and have love to give for every creature in between. With experience in medical fostering for dogs, I am an attentive, gentle, person excited to take care of your fur baby. I am available on weekdays with the exception of Tuesday. I can drop in for a mid-day potty break or an evening walk, whatever timing suits you and your pet best. I am the walking equivalent of a defensive driver - I am attentive on trails and sidewalks to ensure a safe and enjoyable outing for your pet.
“It has been so great having Allison to drop in on our dogs during the day! She is consistent and communicative. It definitely is a weight off our shoulders knowing the dogs get some play time while we are at work.”

“Laura was extremely helpful, easy to communicate with, and made me feel confident that my cats were getting the care they needed while I was gone.”

“Hilary is fantastic! She sends wonderful photos and leaves great notes on Josie. She is communicative, reliable, and came to help when I needed her last minute. Highly recommend!”

“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter, and Nicollette made for an amazing first experience! My senior cat Bear, who is usually very skittish around new people, felt safe enough to hang out around her instead of hiding, and was well taken care of. I’ll definitely go with her again should I ever need another sitter!”

“We felt stress-free knowing our cat was in Alexandra’s hands. Our cat is very skittish and doesn’t trust new people, but was letting Alexandra pet her only a few days into watching her! Every night, I looked forward to the photos and updates Alexandra would send. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!”


“She took great care of our hammy girl, Im glad we found Cait! She gave ham some much needed pets while we were away. Cait also left very detailed notes when checking in on our ham. Very happy!”


“Daisy goes above and beyond in her communication and care for your pets. I really appreciated her transparency during the visits, and she was very caring and attentive to my pets needs. I would easily book her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life and I’m looking forward to taking care of yours. I have a dog of my own who is a 28lb mini labradoodle. She's super sweet and social, and part of the reason I like to dog sit is because she likes having a buddy around to play with. I work from home every day so Sage and I will be with your dog all day! I live in an apartment building but I am near a walking trail and dog park. I work from home so I'll be home during day! In case I have to run out for errands I would like to know how you board your dog when you're away. I will be available if you have any questions/concerns. **Please ensure that your dog comes fully groomed/clean!** I take my dog on a long walk once in the morning (8 am) and once in the afternoon (5:30 pm) with a short potty break mid day and right before bed. I can adjust my schedule to ensure your dog feels comfortable! If I go to a dog park but I typically go early in the mornings or mid day when it is empty. If you don’t want your dog at a dog park at all that’s 100% fine with me!
“Andrea was my first pet sitter on rover and she’s absolutely fantastic! Super responsive and adaptable. She’ll also give you personal updates on anything out of the ordinary which is fantastic and gives a lot of peace of mind. I’ve recommended Andrea about 6 times on ring!”

“Elena took extra care of my cat while I was away on a business trip. She was very kind and thoughtful and went out of her way to go and check on my cat when my flight was cancelled on my way back home. I will definitely rebook Elena in the future!”

“Cindy took excellent care of our kitties and was so kind and understanding when I realized I had mixed up the dates requested. She took the time to get to know our cats names and they were in great hands with her!”

“Allegra was a wonderful drop-in sitter for our kitty! She took great care to follow all instructions and took time to play with and cuddle with our cat while we were away. Would happily hire her again!”

Again, Byul went above and beyond. My last minute trip was unexpectedly extended. And she was so helpful in continuing the service while I was out. She provided daily pictures of Cashmere (extremely timid kitty that she is was always in hiding in her favorite spot) and also of the food and water. She understood my concerns about ensuring Cashmere had plenty of fresh food and water. Byul was a joy to work with, reliable and flexible. She took great care of my fur baby. I highly recommend her!

This was the first time I’ve ever used a pet sitter I did not know personally, and I was admittedly nervous! Laurie exceeded far beyond any expectations I had and I would absolutely recommend her one million times over! She treated my kitties like her own and went above and beyond taking extra special care when one of them decided to have some tummy troubles while we were away. Her daily updates were detailed and exactly on time. She is extremely thorough and very caring! I will use her again every single time in the future!

Julie is so lovely and takes such good care of my two kitties! She is communicative and thoughtful with her updates and pictures and gave my old guy extra TLC when he was recovering from some health issues while I was away. I knew they were in great hands and could breathe easy knowing she was there❤️
