Christina was great with our furry and feather family. Everyone seemed happy and relaxed upon our return. She kept us updated throughout the stay and our house was kept neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend Christina!!

About: I went to college for Veterinary Assisting in 2019, and have had various experiences. I've worked in Vet clinics and hospitals and frequently pet sit for friends and family. I have a huge love of animals of every kind! From the furry, to the scaly, and even the feathered! I have experience working with animals from all stages of life, as well as furry friends with specialized diets. Put your faith in me and you won't be disappointed! I am currently working a job that involves me being there 5 days a week: Monday & Friday 2:30-6, and Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday 12:30-6, but are able to make morning visits, evening visits and even overnight if needed. Weekends are completely available to me and can take time off for your furry friends if needed. This is dependent on the species, breed and what their specific needs are. For example, in college, I owned 2 rats who needed consistent enrichment activities, regular baths and grooming, as well as all the love and snuggles they wanted! They both lived 2 very long happy lives up until and even past their life expectancy. I now own a large and thriving aquarium which I love and adore.

I highly recommend Hayley to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet while they’re away. She is fantastic with my 16 month old pup Fawn, who can be both hyper and skittish at times. Fawn responds so well to Hayley’s calm but fun energy. I couldn’t be happier with her services.

Amy is a trustworthy and reliable house/pet sitter. Our dogs loved her company and she treated them very well. They loved their walks and outdoor play time with Amy. Amy promptly responds to messages and sent photos to us to let us know that our dogs were happy! I will have Amy sit for us again and highly recommend her.

We are extremely satisfied with Maria’s care of Rok while we went on a 18 day vacation. We received regular updates and we were so happy to see pictures and videos of our dog because we missed him so much! He was in great hands- everything went so smoothly!!! We will definitely ask Maria to watch Rok again!!!

We had an amazing experience with Aprisheh. She went above and beyond caring for our English Bulldog, Bowie. From the moment they met, it was clear she genuinely loves animals. She gave him so much affection and attention, made sure his needs were met, and kept us updated so we felt totally at ease while we were away. Bowie can be a bit of a couch potato, but she understood his pace and personality perfectly. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and that means everything. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, loving, and truly attentive.

About: ***PRICE TRANSPARENCY: It's come to my attention that Rover service fees are inflating prices for what you can see on my profile. I am not happy about this. I am currently (Feb 2026) making $19.20 per 30 min drop-in/walk, but the posted price by Rover is much higher <---It was never my intention to charge this much, and I encourage clients to send Rover Support feedback about their fees, pricing and how their hijacking sitters' profiles by doing this. . If you are unable to afford the current price, please message me anyway, and I can try to work within your budget. I'm an experienced Foster home, home visit and phone screener previously for a few home based rescues for dogs and cats. I've owned dogs and currently have 4 rescue cats. Adopt, don't shop is how I live. Experience and age (mine lol) matter. I love pets; I've opened my home numerous times to foster animals. I regard myself as an important link in the chain to allow pet owners to keep their pets instead of having to give them up due to having to work outside the home, or other reasons that we confront in rescue :) I collect pet food donations from PetValu partners in the city and give to citizens in need & sanctuaries. I want to make a difference. Creator of Ava's Foundation. I work a hybrid schedule, therefore many days of the week I am available for a drop in to your own place or possibly dog walking before work, during the work day, after work and in the evenings. I try to build up rapport with the dog or cat in question by talking to them as I enter the house, make them feel at ease with my voice in my presence, so that they love to see me and know that I mean fun and games and FOOD. I always make sure that the litter is cleaned or the dog is petted and loved and I’ve even taken care of rabbits who loved to see me because they knew that they would get fun and treats and their living area cleaned and tidied..

Bozhena took great care of our Weimaraner (and our home) while we were away for a week! We appreciated the daily updates and photos - it made us feel so much less anxious. She kept to our dog’s routine, tired her out with long walks and provided so much love. Bozhena loved our pooch as if she were her own. We’re so glad we’ve finally found someone we can trust.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for family cats and dogs, so I am very comfortable with the day-to-day routines pets need to feel safe, happy, and cared for. Last summer I house-sat for two large, energetic dogs for multiple months, which gave me lots of experience maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and a clean home. I am a super active person and I love making sure pets get the exercise, companionship, and attention they deserve. This summer I’ll be working remotely as a research assistant, so I’ll be home and available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, bathroom breaks, and companionship. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to keep pets on their usual routine and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. As a medical student, I am responsible, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. With my flexible schedule, I am happy to provide live photo updates of your furry friends while you’re away and will carefully follow all instructions related to feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I know how important it is to trust someone both in your home and with your pets, and I will treat your family like my own.

During our week-long vacation in the Bahamas, Sara took exceptional care of our dog, Bowie. We were initially anxious about leaving him with someone he didn’t know, but as soon as Sara walked in, Bowie immediately connected with her. Even our 1-year-old son felt comfortable around her. Sara exudes a kind and gentle energy that assured us Bowie was in good hands. Opting to stay at our home, she catered to Bowie's comfort, which is crucial given his tendency to get anxious in new places. Sara took him on long, enjoyable walks multiple times a day and showered him with attention. We're immensely grateful to Sara for her kindness and care towards Bowie. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for our furry family member.

Jessica seemed to a wonderful job looking after Emma. This was our first experience with a private dog sitter. Emma told me she did a good job walking her in a timely fashion. The only thing that Emma(the dog),was that she did not think that she got enough food. 😁. Over all we were very pleased with the whole experience. 👍

We had a great experience with Filip. He took excellent care of our home, large dog and 3 cats while we were away. Our dog normally takes a while to warm up to people when she first meets them, but she immediately loved Filip. This was a huge relief for us, and helped us not worry while we were away. Filip also sent us lots of pictures while we were gone, and this also helped us be able to enjoy our trip without worrying.
