Zilalai once again did a fantastic job house/pet sitting my two cats for a week. I appreciate that she is reliable, follows the kitties’ usual routine, handles an occasional plumbing or a/c maintenance appointment, and leaves the house very tidy. 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!

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.

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!

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

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!

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!

Olivia was great! We were new to town and didn't know what we were going to do with our pets when we decided to go out of town for Christmas. Olivia came over to meet us and our pets before we left. Olivia was so sweet and kind, the animals took to her right away which put us at ease about leaving them. She took great care of our dog & cat and sent pics everyday to update us! We will definitely be using her again when we go out of town.

Kelly is so enthusiastic and a wonderful caretaker of our pups! She kept us well informed throughout the duration of her stay and the dogs were so happy with her. We have a 4 month old and a 7 year old. She balanced the energy of the baby so well while also making sure our “elder” got love and attention. Will absolutely be using Kelly in the future and highly recommend her!

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!

I would give 10 stars if I could. I went on a two week vacation and very anxious about leaving my two Maine Coons for such a long time. We had JB house sit and she not only took care of the cats but my many plants as well. I am so relieved to have her as a trusted care giver for my fur babies!

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.
