“Jennifer was great with my senior dog and 10 months old kitten who is very active. She took amazing pictures and left the house spot clean. Would definitely use her again.”


“Suky was fantastic. Great communicator, knowable, responsible, flexible. Our GSD Sansa was recently diagnosed w/ Cushing's Disease and needed medicine and some extra attention. Suky took everything in stride and got along famously w/ Sansa. We would book Suky again in a heartbeat. Thanks Suky!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Amy went above and beyond while caring for our dog and cat, especially when our dog unexpectedly needed surgery during our trip. Amy was calm, reliable, and incredibly attentive—sending thoughtful updates and making sure they had food, toys, and attention. We came home to a spotless house and a sweet surprise: a painting Amy made of our pets! Her kindness and creativity really touched us. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in a heart beat.”


“We are so grateful to have found Mai! She takes such great care of our dogs and home every time we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love her, and it gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Mai follows all our instructions carefully, asks for clarification when needed, and keeps us updated throughout her stay. Plus, she always leaves the house spotless! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.”


“We had a great experience with Sahil for housesitting of our pets. He was very attentive towards our dog and cat, communicated issues and questions and was very responsive. The house was also well taken care of. We had a overall positive experience and would book a housesitting or dogsitting again.”


About: Hi. My name is actually Brandi! Trying to get Rover to fix it but in the meantime... I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, birds, reptiles, bunnies and cats of all ages — especially senior pets who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s slow walks, medication, or just plenty of calm companionship, I’m patient, gentle, and always tuned in to your pet’s needs. I’ve helped reinforce training routines like leash manners, crate time, and basic commands using positive methods and consistency. I know every pet has their own personality and quirks, and I do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home (even when you're away!). I am also a lifelong plant-lover and gardener and look forward to treating your home as if it was my own. You can count on me to follow instructions closely, keep you updated with plenty of pics and notes, and treat your pets like part of my own family. I am a wellness coach with my own business. I make my own schedule and can work from anywhere while providing excellent home and pet care. When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I provide a calm, clean space where they can relax, play, and stick to their usual routines as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions you provide. I limit stress by introducing them gently to new surroundings and keeping noise and activity levels low, especially for shy or senior pets. In Your Home: When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping everything familiar and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and litter box care to any medications or behavioral routines. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet gets the same love and attention they’re used to from you. I also provide regular updates, so you always know how things are going. I have been known to leave a delicious meal for you upon your return.

“Stephanie did a great job taking care of our senior dog and our home while we were away. She provided updates and photos throughout her stay. I highly recommend Stephanie to take care of your fur baby and home.”


“Quynh Ann (QT) was fantastic with my dog Rex. Rex is a senior blind dog and she took great care of him for a week while I was out of town. QT also took great care of my apartment and I would never have guessed that she had been at my home the last week!”


About: Hello fellow pet lovers! My name is Kim, and I have been surrounded by the love and companionship of animals my entire life. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s truly who I am. From a young age, I’ve shared my home with all manner of animals! From dogs and cats, to gerbils, hamsters , chinchilla, birds, and fish. I understand just how much our furry friends mean to us. My beloved Havanese was a cherished member of our family for 17 wonderful years. During his life, I cared for him through every stage—from 16 weeks to dementia and the rainbow bridge. I have administered medications, managed illnesses, and provided comfort and healing. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of attentive, individualized care. I have also fostered both dogs and cats, helping them transition into loving forever homes. This has given me valuable experience with a variety of personalities, temperaments, and special needs. In addition, I’ve often looked after neighbors’ dogs while they travel, so I know how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and worry-free while they’re away. I specialize in caring for animals 40 pounds or less, and I am happy to provide pet sitting in your home—where your pet feels most comfortable—or possibly in my own home, depending on your needs. I offer daily walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also have experience with grooming, bathing, and hygiene care, so your pet will always feel their best! My goal is to make sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’m always attentive to their unique routines and preferences. Whether your pet needs a gentle walk, a cozy place to nap, or some extra TLC, I’m here to help. Thank you for considering me to care for your precious pets. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Currently I have great availability. I can be your regular care giver several times a day, several days a week, or your occasionally, as needed. My hours are flexible to meet your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide attentive, responsible care in a clean, pet-friendly environment, whether I’m visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine. I maintain strict hygiene by regularly cleaning litter boxes and pet areas, and I’m experienced with administering medications and flea treatments safely. You can trust that your pet will never be left unattended during my visits. I always follow your instructions closely, keep doors and windows secure, and ensure your cat’s environment is calm and stress-free. I believe in open communication, so I’ll send regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind and real-time insight into your pet’s well-being. I am committed to earning your trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care for your furry family member. Your pet’s happiness and safety are at the heart of everything I do.

“Victoria was great with our dog! She watched her while we were at a wedding and was super accommodating and flexible with our timing, based on Bella’s energy, it was clear Victoria treated her well. She was really respectful of our home as well and I’d definitely call Victoria again to watch Bella in the future.”

About: Proud dog mom, cat aunt, and all-around animal lover here excited to spend time walking, playing with, and loving your pets. I know how important it is to feel your fur baby is happy and cared for while you’re away, and I’d love to help with that. My partner and I adopted our pup at 8 weeks old about 4 years ago, so I totally get those wild puppy days (and sharp little teeth!). I’ve also watched friends dogs and spent weeks at a time cat sitting for my sister over the years and loving getting to learn their little personalities and form bonds with them. I’d love to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while we’re together. I’m just getting started here and would be happy to learn about your pet’s needs and can be flexible with scheduling as needed. I am not currently working and can adjust to your pets schedule as needed. Trust and safety are my top priority wherever I am! My place has a fenced in yard, but my dog can be reactive and is not cat friendly. If you’d like to have your dog stay with me, I’d prefer to do a slow introduction with them before a long stay. When I’m at your place, I will care for it as my own. Before our first walk, I’d love to learn as much about your pet’s needs as possible to ensure I’m providing the best care while you’re away!

“Saana was wonderful with our dog! She sent updates and photos on a daily basis and went above and beyond for every aspect of the sit. Partway through our trip, our boiler broke down, and Saana coordinated with the handyman to have it replaced before we returned and was so kind about not having hot water for a few days. She cleaned the house thoroughly and we came home to a calm, happy dog and a beautifully clean house. We would have her and Nitin back in an instant!”


About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and curious kittens to calm senior pets, both as a loving pet parent and as a sitter for friends and family. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand how important routines and affection are, and I’m happy to tailor care to their unique personality, energy level, and needs.

I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and share updates, pics, and stories while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my full attention to caring for your furry baby, this includes regular potty breaks, multiple walks per day, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I don’t have any pets of my own and only care for one at a time, so your furry baby will have my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely play and explore. I always follow care instructions closely and take extra precautions during walks and potty breaks to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

Yan Z.
“I had the pleasure of leaving my pet in Yan's care, and I was beyond impressed with the level of dedication and love she showed. From the moment I dropped off my pet, I could tell Yan has a deep connection with animals. She went above and beyond, not just feeding my pet on time but also making sure every detail of its care was perfect. Yan groomed my pet regularly, brushed its teeth (which is no small task!), and even gave it baths, all with such gentleness and care that my pet actually enjoyed the process. What really stood out was how Yan made my pet feel like part of her family. She would send me regular updates, including photos and videos, which reassured me that my pet was not only safe but happy and comfortable. Yan's genuine love for animals shines through in the way she interacts with them, and I could tell that my pet was relaxed and well taken care of throughout its stay. I highly recommend Yan to anyone looking for a pet sitter who goes the extra mile. You can trust her to give your pet the same care and affection that you would. She’s truly the best!”

Brightside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sahil treated Henry like a king while we were gone for the weekend. He took my list of instructions like a champ (sorry again) and sent many updates throughout the stay. This was a sitting, and he also left our studio neater than we left it 😂 Thank you so much for caring for our Henry!

We had a great experience with Sahil for housesitting of our pets. He was very attentive towards our dog and cat, communicated issues and questions and was very responsive.
