“Gabbi did a wonderful job taking care of my cats! She made sure medication was given on time and made sure they always had everything they needed. I would definitely book Gabbi again.”
“Aiden was great with Maxwell. He was on time and took amazing care of the little man. He was able to do a meet and greet prior to his appointment which helped him warm up quite quick to Aiden. We will definitely be reaching out again for his help! Thanks again!”
“I rated him a 5 * but if given the opportunity I would rate him a 5000+ star. He is WONDERFUL! Luie stayed at my home overnight and My dogs love him and they attached to him right away ! He is loving, caring, understanding, flexible, professional, considerate, honest, friendly and so much more! I have three dogs and one of them is a Pandemic doggie who hasn’t interacted with many people over the last few years and he took to Louie as part of the family. If you want a great person taking care of your home and your dogs Luie is the person to hire!”
“Margaret took great care of our dog Nana and was respectful of our home while house sitting. I really appreciated her updates throughout the day. I felt at ease knowing she was with Nana!”
“Rackeeem was amazing! He took care of our house and our furry babies (a cat and a dog). He is great with animals. My cat is a very shy one. He always hides when I am away. But somehow, after eleven years I have him, he said hi to Rackeen, and also played with him! I highly recommend him.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10. With over 7 years of experience, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Whether it’s energetic puppies or gentle senior dogs, I always treat them like my own-with patience, love, and attention to detail. I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available every day for walks, drop-ins, sitting, or boarding-weekdays and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and am just steps away from several parks-perfect for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. The building is secure and quiet, and I always create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. I can also crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines to help them feel right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.
“Kathleen was great, she took great care of my pup Dizzy. She played with her outside and was able to spend time at my house to keep her comfortable while I was gone. Kathleen sent pictures of my pup and stayed in communication with me throughout my vacation. There was an issue with my fish tank leaking and Kathleen caught it and let me know as soon as she saw it. This allowed me to come home and fix the issue and then continue my vacation. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a sitter or to re-book in the future. This booking was my first time using Rover and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks again Kathleen.”
“Last week was our first encounter with Samantha as Walter’s pet sitter and our house sitter. We received daily updates and photos, he was calm and happy when we returned home, and our house was in perfect order.”
“Courtney was an amazing help with sitting Maxwell today. She was punctual, early in fact ;), followed all requests and most of all, made sure Maxwell was in good company. Communication was great and I felt confident that my little man would be in great care with her! We will be looking to have Courtney back in the future for sure. Thanks!”
“Busara is the best! Maxwell has a great time and is always well cared for! I have no worries when I’m not there because I know Busara is always there to save the day and make sure Maxwell has great company”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was a child — I have lots of experience with large dogs, multi-pet households, and less common pets like reptiles, fish, farm animals, and birds. I work remotely and on my own schedule, so any times or dates that I don’t already have commitments for are convenient for me, making it easy for me to fit into your schedule. I’m very mindful of doing things the way a client wants them to be done in terms of both pet-sitting and house-sitting, so I love having written out instructions to keep things organized and easy to adhere to. I love spending time with animals in an environment where they’re comfortable and happy, and they’ll get plenty of my time and attention while I’m there.
About: As a passionate animal lover & dog owner, I am dedicated to providing care, exercise & fun. My goal is to ensure every walk or visit makes your pet feel just as loved as they do with their owner. Safety is always my top priority and I will treat your pet as if they are my own ensuring when you return home they will be just as happy and healthy as they were when you left. I currently have open availability including early mornings, evenings, weekends or weekdays and holidays. Please advise which schedule is best for you and your pet. Safety is always my main concern and I can assure you I will keep a close eye on your pet and advise you of any emergencies.
