“CJ did an excellent job. I interviewed multiple people before deciding to work with CJ when I was going out of town to watch our puppy. She is 13 weeks old and we wanted to keep her on her care routine. CJ is extremely detail-oriented, respectful, communicative, and thoughtful...I could tell that he really cares about his craft and wants to make sure his clients are happy. He asked detailed questions with nuance that showed he cared and our puppy had an amazing time with him. I could not recommend CJ more and is the only person I have worked with in recent memory that I would happily do a reference for! He is awesome!”
“Jie did a fantastic job taking care of our two pups - one of which is very slow to warm up and had just had a minor surgery. She kept us totally up to date with how things were going which reassured us they were all settling in together well. She also sent plenty of pictures and videos so we knew all was well and the pups were relaxed and happy. I have already rebooked her and will definitely recommend her to others. Thanks Jie!!!”
“Emmy was happy and relaxed when I got home -- that's all I can ask for, really :) More broadly, Elissa was responsible and communicative. I will definitely be working with her again!”
“Austin was excellent at his care of Lola! She usually takes longer to warm up to someone as she’s a 6lb rescue, but not even 24 hours later, she was glued to him. She is a little difficult as she doesn’t like other dogs but Austin handled her well!”
“Kimberly is great- Emmy loves her! She makes traveling so much easier, and she takes adorable photos of Emmy with the zoomies, playing hide-and-seek, and curled up looking cozy. Couldn't be happier!”
“Emma took a great care of our dog, Zelda! She sent us pictures every day and Zelda was happy and well when we got back home. Emma was also very flexible, accommodating our travel plans when we needed it. She also was very respectful of our house and left everything as she found it. I highly recommend her to take care of your pet!”
“Jeanette was amazing. Jake was being difficult and wouldn’t come in but Jeannette wouldn’t give up and go to bed till she finally got him in at 3AM. I felt bad and told her to go to bed, but she wouldn’t until he was in. He is usually good for her and comes in before dark,, but not this time.”
“Lisa and Raymond were great; I really enjoyed them watching my 4.5-month-old puppy, Arwen. She is a fairly sensitive little puppy, and she did absolutely great with them. They were very professional, and they even had to deal with a handoff from another Rover because of a longer trip. It was a very positive experience working with them. My puppy Arwen really liked both Lisa and Raymond. They left our home in impeccable condition and were highly communicative. Lisa was sending multiple daily updates that gave me the comfort that I knew that Arwen was okay, even though we were very far away. It was very clear when I returned that Arwen was in great spirits and she really loved spending time with Lisa and Raymond. And I could also tell from the updates she was sending :). I would work with Lisa and Raymond anytime in the future, and I think they are excellent people who care so deeply about what they do.”
“Svitlana did great with our two dogs (french bulldogs). One being a puppy. They absolutely adored her. She sent pictures during the visit and was very kind. Would gladly have her sit our dogs again.”
“Silvana was a perfect sitter for our two doggies. She is conscientious, caring, and devoted to her charges. She spent a good deal of time with the dogs on walks and playing in the park. She also seems to have instilled some discipline we had not done. Silvana sent is photos daily with Updates on how the dogs were doing. We will absolutely entrust our doggies to her again.”
“Meiling was incredibly reliable, ensuring our dogs and cat were well taken care of while we were away. She also kept our home extremely tidy, which was a wonderful bonus. We returned to happy dogs and a spotless house. We highly recommend Meiling to anyone in need of a trustworthy and meticulous dog sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my house since I was a baby! I enjoy connecting with animals and have dog sat for many friends and family members over the last 6 years. I’m currently working part time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your dog! I work from home, so I enjoy taking dogs on long walks to get some fresh air and exercise (for both of us). I will be very respectful of your home and make sure your dog is well attended to while you’re away. Please don’t hesitate to specify anything they might need to feel extra safe and cared for.
“Katie followed our directions exact for our many animals. She took care of our pup and multiple birds and our quail! Our home was just as we left it and all our babies were happy. We are very happy with our experience. Peace of mind on a trip was priceless.”
“Ciara stayed at my house and took care of my dog Doug while I was on a 5-day trip. She did an outstanding job. She was mature, responsible, and a great communicator-- I got regular updates and pictures by text. She took him on walks, made sure he was fed on time, and gave him play time. I felt very at ease being away, because she clearly had everything handled. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Stephanie stayed at our house with our two cats during a holiday week. She was beyond fantastic! Throughout the week, she sent us adorable snapshots and videos and kept us in the loop about their funny shenanigans. She also made easy work of a complicated refrigerated auto-feeder setup we have one of our cats on. We returned to a spotless home! Our two cats were not just cared for but clearly loved. Stephanie's competence and warmth made our vacation worry-free. Couldn’t more highly recommend!”
“Alexis took great care of Bella and the house, and kept us up to date with lots of pictures multiple times a day. Bella seemed very comfortable with Alexis and cozied up to her quickly. The house was super clean when we came back. Alexis was also super flexible on start and end times. Thank you, Alexis!”
About: People always say if they could come back as a dog, they’d want to be mine — because I treat my pups better than some people treat their own kids! I’ve raised an Eskimo Spitz and two Bichons, and we’ve traveled cross-country by plane and car together — mostly because I didn’t want to leave them with just any pet sitter. I get how tough it is to leave your dog with someone else. That’s why I don’t just cover the basics like food and walks — I make sure your pup gets all the love, attention, and care they’re used to. When I travel, I even fly my dogs to stay with family so I can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I want to be that same peace of mind for you — knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working - have flexible hours and would love to take walks for my own health - why not with a fur baby?? Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I always make sure they’re safe and comfy. I keep everything secure — no sneaky escape routes or anything that could hurt them — and follow your instructions to a T, from feeding to meds to their favorite routines. I’m good at picking up on what your pet needs, whether they want to chill or play, so they always feel happy and relaxed. You can count on me to treat your fur baby like my own, with lots of love and care in a safe, cozy space.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs, which taught me that if they can coexist, anyone can. The cat, Garfield, totally ran the household though. Duh. I work full time in person so I have free time after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Also happy to stay over/housesit with your pet. I live alone in an apartment that’s comfortable for a pup. My family dog has stayed in it before so he can attest. I live next to a dog park and my neighborhood is very walkable.
