“Our cats love Giada and we love working with her. She’s very responsive which is very important to me especially we are out of the country. Looking forward to more checkins”


2. Erica G.

“Erica was amazing with our kitties. She was a huge help and helped by adding extra visits since I biffed on the scheduling. We didn’t have to cut our trip short. I will always book her moving forward.”


3. Brianna L.


“Just wanted to say that we really appreciated the care and dependability that Brianna provided our dearest companion Chandru. We take him everywhere we go because we love him so much and he enjoys traveling with us. Though we were sad we couldn’t take him with us on our family vacation we were rest assured that he was in great hands. We opted for drop in visits and Brianna provided loads of timely updates, photos and awesome notes of what was going on. Our buddy and our house was in great shape when we got home! Thanks so much!”


4. Marta S.
“Marta is the biggest animal lover that I know. Her love for animals started at a very young age and has never faltered. In addition, Marta takes everything she does and puts her whole heart into it and is always someone you can count on. Any of your furry babies would be lucky to have her as their walker:)”


5. Cathy W.

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

“Jason went above and beyond caring for our 4 pets! He ensured our dog's special diet and medication was given at the right time, and we are so grateful to trust that our pets were in good hands. Will be booking him again in the near future!”


7. Anna K.

“Anna was amazing! My kitty had dental surgery recently and had some dietary restrictions. Anna was super accommodating and asked me if she had any questions. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do for my kitty. She also sends tons of pictures and a detailed report. Will definitely use her again!”


8. Anthony P.

“Anthony did an excellent job. He was punctual and cared for my pet as expected. His report included photos, activities checklist, and general notes. I will definitely re-book him in the future.”


9. Abigail D.

“Abby did a great job. Our cat can be a bit cautious but she warmed up to Abby right away because of her kind and gentle demeanor. Abby was very professional and gave us updates and plenty of photos. We would gladly use her again in the future. Thanks!”




10. Maria W.

“Maria watched our cat, Dale, for 10 days while my husband and I were out of town. This was our first time using Rover and my husband and I were both a little hesitant, but Maria blew our expectations out of the water. She responded to messages very quickly, kept us informed of her drop in times, and sent us lots of pictures of our fur baby while we were away. We will definitely be hiring Maria again for our next out of town trip.”


11. Jennifer M.

About: Hello! I am a pre-vet student who is looking to gain more experience with animals! I work at a veterinary clinic as an assistant, and also have a lot of experience volunteering at animal shelters. I am able to provide basic medical care such as administering medicine. I am also confident working with fearful, shy, or stubborn animals. I offer very low cost services because I am doing this for everything except the money! I want to help out those who need it, and give the animals the best care. I only work when I am home from university, so I my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate to your needs! However this also does mean that I may not be able to fulfill your request if you are a repeat client while I am at school. I will always prioritize your animal's safety and wellbeing. I will ensure your animal will be in the best hands and taken care of as if they were my own!


17. Maria S.
About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student and attend classes Monday through Thursday so my availability is mainly weekends other than when I am on breaks. For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)


18. Yuliia R.

“Yuliia did an awesome job checking in on my two cats. Very thorough with plenty of pictures and the cats loved the extra attention and play time. Definitely recommend Yuliia!”


19. Andrea R.

“Andrea was great. She showed up early and was totally comfortable with Buck.”

About: As a vet tech with the goal of being a Veterinarian I have years of experience, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have worked with a wide range of animals, from high-energy puppies requiring extra playtime and positive reinforcement to senior pets needing gentle care, medication management, and mobility support. My expertise extends to administering medications, monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health, and handling pets with anxiety or special needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to quickly recognize signs of illness or distress, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, or providing extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care. I am free most, if not all, weekends, which gives me plenty of time whether it’s for drop-in visits, extended stays, or overnight care. During the week, I may also have availability depending on my schedule, making it easier to accommodate pet care needs, including last-minute requests. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s regular routine to minimize stress, ensuring they receive familiar care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I’m diligent about securing the home, keeping dangerous items out of reach, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. If pets stay in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of enrichment and supervision to keep them safe and happy. I also create a calm, low-stress environment to help pets adjust and feel at ease. Communication is key so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are in loving hands.
