“Professional, responsive, and followed our directions for watching after our cats. I felt like our pets were in great hands with Ashanti. Will definitely book again!”

“Zach has walked Otto a couple times now and is booked for more! Zach is super sweet and attentive to my boy Otto and is very accommodating schedule wise. Otto threw up before Zach came over and he cleaned it up, alerted me, monitored Otto and stayed with him a bit longer than his booked time. Otto loves him too!”

“Sarah was AMAZING! She was super communicative and took great care of my cat. She took the time to play with him and learned his habits. This was my first time using Rover and was hesitant, but would absolutely leave my cat under Sarah’s care in the future. Thanks again Sarah!!!”

“Karina is a beautiful human! She truly goes above & beyond every time i’ve booked with her! Always incredibly thoughtful, has amazing communication & even offered to provide additional assistance. I was out of town much longer than expected, she offered to clean around my place just to help out. She spends extra time to provide comfort to my cats. It’s a wonderful feeling to no worries while i’m away because my cats are in her care. Highly recommend!!! 🤍”

About: I am a cat mom of two sweet boys and I have been walking neighbor’s + friends’ dogs regularly for the past 3 years. I love going on long walks, playing at the park and spending time with dogs! I am experienced with with other pet care essentials as well. I am comfortable enforcing boundaries/training while also having a loving & caring relationship with puppies. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule. During week days, I can carve out time time for walks + home visits very comfortably and I want this sweet excuse to get me out of the house more! For weekends and week day evenings, I can take on one off walks and home visits but I am not available for recurring clients. I take care of two cats at home and sometimes my mom’s dog come over for a visit to stay here for a week. I keep the home clean and organized, make sure there is nothing around (including food) for pets to accidentally eat/chew. I have all pet safe plants at home. My cats have automatic feeder, clean litter and running clean water at all times. This would be the standard I would look for my clients’ home regardless they have a cat or a dog.
About: From my hamster, Jojo Cookie, to my kitty, Little Smith, I have extensive experience providing high quality care for animals of all types. I am patient, communicative, and eager to help you while you're away. Caring for your pet is the perfect excuse to get out of my house! My availability varies but I am willing to accommodate many different schedules. I treat your pets as if they were my own: giving attention, going on walks, endless cuddles (if they like), and following the instructions you set.
“Hanna was very communicative and took great care of our cat! She took plenty of pictures and made sure Bonnie got some love and play along with her food during her drop ins.”

“Alexandra was extremely thorough and communicative. She took great care of my puppy on such a short visit, and Loved seemed very excited and thrilled to meet her. Would happily hire again if she’s open to it!”

“Alexandra was easy to communicate with, timely, and took great care of our kitten including respecting our specific feeding instructions and playing with Thelma to tire all of her baby energy. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Harriet was amazing! She was communicative, responsive, and alleviated all my concerns at leaving my skittish kitty for the first time. Highly recommend and I won’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”

“April did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and guinea pig for five days. Both pets were happy and well cared for when we got home and we really appreciated the updates along the way. Highly recommend!”

“Liudmyla took excellent care of our two cats. They are slow to warm up to people, but she was able to befriend them and earn their trust right away. She was very reliable and we can't wait to book her again the next time we leave town.”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life, both as a kid and an adult. Whether it was during vacation or for a quick evening, I have been the go to friend to board, feed, or check on pets of my friends. Should I save the “empty” peanut butter jar for your doggo? Hi! I work from home and I have the flexibility to make sure a pet is fed and can go out throughout the day. I go on walks already, your dog can come with me. Also, for what it’s worth, I’m 6’3” so I can handle big dogs too haha I have had pets and have taken care of friends pets my whole life. I know pets rely on a routine and it’s important to me that they are relaxed and happy. There are many dogs in my building so most residents and the doormen are well prepared for dogs coming in and out. If it’s better that your pet stays in your house, I’m flexible and I know each pet has its things, so I take instructions well. I look forward to meeting your beloved pet and learning its nicknames and quirks.
“Christian was super accommodating to Marvin (our cat) and administered his medicine exactly on time. It was great knowing he was in good hands and was well taken care of. Thank you Christian for taking care of our grumpy old man Marvin 😊”

“Esther was an outstanding sitter - they were highly proactive about caring for my cat, making sure to feed him well and properly administer medication at the right time. My cat can get anxious around other people, but Esther’s gentle and caring demeanor helped him warm up quickly. I can see Esther’s genuine passion and love for pets as they made sure to shower my cat with ample playtime and cuddles. They sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the sit, and my cat felt really safe and happy in Esther’s care. Overall, Esther is a highly trustworthy sitter, and I would definitely book them again.”
