“Stina did a great job taking care of our kitties and home while we were out of town for a few days! Our kittens looked relaxed and happy when we were back :)”
“Zilalai was absolutely wonderful with our old german shepherd! She sent tons of photos of their time together and I could tell my girl was having the time of her life with Zilalai. We will absolutely be using her again in the future. Thank you so much Zilalai!!!”
“Emily was wonderful with our 10mo puppy, giving him attention and providing enrichment throughout the day, taking him on his midday walk and feeding him lunch. We came home to a happy, wriggly, sleepy puppy. Emily also left the sweetest report card and polaroid shot of Kiwi at the end of the day :)”
“Alana is a gem. She's a delight to interact with and a top-notch communicator. She stayed with our cats over a long weekend, and we felt confident that the boys and our home were being expertly cared for. Both Skye and Q confirmed this once we were back. Q also seemed to miss her and spent an unusual amount of time perched on the guest room bed in the hours after she left. Alana will be at the top of our list next time we need a sitter.”
“Great experience, Our pup was taken care of very well and looked even healthier after we got back. Anthony was also great with the difficult times thst i had to schedule because of an early flight. Great sitter and would love to book him again.”
“Sabina was wonderful! Made friends with our reactive dog very quickly! She also took care of him during a power outage, and we are so grateful. We came back to a happy and relaxed lil guy!”
“Devon house-sat and looked after our two dogs on August 11/12, 2025. Devon's great! Very kind with our dogs, speedy with communications, and conscientious with taking care of everything just right. We wholeheartedly recommend Devon to take care of your pets and/or house-sit for you! Thanks Devon!”
“She was a wonderful sitter and took amazing care of our dog! She sent sweet photos and was incredibly responsive! She even stopped by before to get to know our dog to make sure she'd be comfortable with her!”
“Hsiao-chia was quick to respond and accept my request which I appreciated since it was for the next day. She asked good questions and made me feel good about leaving my 3 pets in her care.”
“My wife and I are first time dog owners who recently got a puppy. Anastasia took care of him for an evening while we were away and did a fantastic job! Theo was so comfortable with her and the peace of mind knowing that he was safe and well cared for is all I could ask for. Will definitely be working with Anastasia again!”
“Stacy was superb! We had a last minute need due to our flight getting cancelled and Stacy was very communicative and flexible during a moment of a lot of stress. My pups were very well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. My house was well taken care of as well. Would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Phia really came to our rescue and took amazing care of our 9-month old puppy! Barley looked so, so happy in all of the pictures Phia shared with us and he’s had a blast on walks and training with Phia! Best of all, Phia left a special memorabilia to welcome us back home (a hand drawing of our puppy)! Thank you so, so much for taking such thorough care for our puppy, Barley!”
“Nina is a true 5 star sitter! Helped us out with a last minute booking, arrived early, asked all the right questions regarding Bella's care, and went above and beyone taking care of her. Strongly recommend!”
“Allison was great with our toy golden doodle! Milly loved her. Allison was right on time, was in touch with us, and took great care of Milly. We will definitely call her again!”
“Isaac and Dana took such great care of my dog and cat while I was away for the weekend. They sent me great pictures and thoughtful updates, and I never had to doubt that they were in good hands. Thank you!”
“Olivia house sat for us this past week and took great care of our two 3-yr old kitties! We can tell the kitties were well taken care of by how much they cuddled up to her. We would definitely recommend Olivia!”
“Leo is an amazing cat sitter!! Truly the best. This was my second time booking with them for cat care but the first time house sitting too. Leo did great with giving my cat his meds every day and made sure my smaller cat got her meals without getting bullied by my big guy. Leo sent tons of pictures and thoughtful updates throughout the day. I was away for 11 days but I felt so good the whole time knowing my cats were well taken care of and getting totally spoiled by all the pets and attention. I would 100000% recommend Leo and will definitely be booking with them again!!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was blessed to have grown up with a Golden Retriever, Hugo, and a Shih Tzu, Lilla. Both of those dogs were my best friends and I made so many memories with them. My love for animals allows me to offer personalized, attentive care with a focus on safety, companionship, and fun. I have experience working with small and medium dogs and am very reliable/communicative. Before each appointment, I always make sure to check in with each owner to find out more information about what the dog's specific routine and schedule is like. I am also very compassionate about animals and treat each client like they are my own pet. Lastly, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate any last minute changes. I am very fortunate to work remotely full time so my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time during the day to go on walks and give the pups all of the love and attention they deserve. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood that is surrounded by parks and green space. I also live on the third floor of a three family home that has an outdoor yard. Your dog will be very safe and well taken care of in my home.

Uma was wonderful! I was so worried about leaving my dogs for a longer period of time, but I felt a million times better knowing they were in such good care. She sent regular updates and kept us in the loop, and she was patient and accommodating with the time difference. We will absolutely book her again.
Marcy was a terrific sitter for Jasper! She took great care of him as well as our house while we were away. Marcy was a good communicator with us, sending us daily pics and updates, and she matched Jasper's vibe perfectly. I'd be happy to have her sit with him again!
I needed a last-minute sitter and Olivia did great with my pup Summer! Olivia was thorough, asked all the right questions, and communicated clearly about when she'd be at the house and when she'd need to be at work. She arrived on time and was responsive throughout the week, and I returned home to a safe pup and a clean home. I feel lucky that I was able to book Olivia last minute and will definitely book again in the future.
So grateful Leah was able to make a last-minute booking request work. Leah was on time, organized, and great with my cat Louie, who can be a little ball of stress if I'm not home during his evening routine. Louie did so well while I was gone, since he had Leah around to keep him company. Thank you, Leah!
Priya was absolutely amazing. Great communicator, caretaker, and just thoughtful all around. She took such great care of our cat Kilo and sent us daily updates with photos for the week we were out. Kilo took to her the second she walked through the door. Not only did she take such great care of Kilo, she was also so thoughtful while house sitting. We were so lucky to find Priya on rover. I highly recommend her!! 💕 She’s a cat whisperer.
