“Christina did such an amazing job watching my cats, what a blessing! My cats immediately trusted her from the start. She provided so many updates and great photos! The cats received so much attention from Christina and I could tell they had a blast. I appreciate the great care from Christina and will absolutely book in the future!”
“Zilalai is a 5-star pet sitter! She took excellent care of my cats and my home. I appreciate that she read the instructions and kept the pets on their usual schedule. Zilalai was also very reliable. She went above and beyond by handling a blizzard and an unexpected plumbing issue with ease. She also left the house tidy. I am hoping Zilalai can come back to cat sit again during my next trip. With Zilalai on the job, I can truly relax and know the pets and house are in good hands. Thank you, Zilalai! 😻”


“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”

“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!”

“Alana was great! Leo enjoyed his time with her. She was great with following Leo's routine, feeding him, taking him outside, and wiping his feet after getting caught in some rain!”


“Julia W. was great with our exuberant goldendoodle, Jake. She clearly loves animals, and has excellent experience with dog care and training. Jake was busy each day with multiple walks, playtime, and then some nice down time. Julia communicated well, sent us pictures, was very responsive. We knew that our dog was in great hands. Thank you so much!”

“Aubrey was great! She saved me when I needed someone last minute. My dog was super happy and got plenty of exercise, and the apartment was left better than I found it. Will use again!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Amy took such wonderful care of Roux. She was kind, attentive, and super communicative, which made us feel completely at peace while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her.”

“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!”

“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!”

“K and Izzy were instant friends and from the pictures I received Izzy clearly had a ball (literally and figuratively)! K ensured she had a romp in a park, plenty of time to play ball and lots of attention and snuggles through her day. Izzzy was contentedly snoring in her crate when I returned home. Thank you, K!”

About: Hello! I love animals so so very much and would never let harm befall them. I get "They're never this good around strangers!" a lot as well. I'm especially good with easily spooked pets I make and sell crystals and jewelry, so my schedule is flexible and I'm available during most "normal working hours" I'll have lots of time for your pets We have a fairly spacious apartment with a backyard for hosting, and if I'm petsitting at your house I'll follow your instructions to the letter
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.

“I had a phenomenal experience leveraging Stacy for house and pet sitting. I knew from our first meet and greet she would be wonderful and she was! Stacy was thorough, patient, kind and organized. I look forward to using her services again.”

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.

Nat did a GREAT job on short notice coming through for me and my pups! She came for a meet & greet and was patient and caring in letting them ease in and warm up to her. She followed directions for safety and security needs, did a good job sending updates and showing pictures of her interactions with my fur babies, and kept them happy and safe while I was out of town. I would recommend her to take care of your little furry friends as well!

This was the third time Rachel has cared for our senior dog. She did a wonderful job communicating updates and sending pictures throughout the stay. Moreover, we came home to a very happy and relaxed dog! It's such a relief to find someone you trust in your home and with your pet!
