“I had such a great experience with Jinghong! My dog is usually pretty skittish around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately. Jinghong has such a calm, patient energy that dogs naturally trust. She is reliable, communicative, and sends the sweetest updates and photos during and after each visit. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is with her. If you have a shy, reactive, or sensitive dog, I highly recommend Jinghong. She has been such a great match for my dog .”

“Andrew always does such a great job taking care of my 2 cats (one senior and one kitten). He asks great questions about their care, leaves detailed notes, and sends lots of pictures. I’ve booked with him a few times now and would highly recommend.”

“Victoria watched our anxious eight-year-old cat for a week. Every day, we looked forward to receiving cute pictures and a description of the visit. When we returned, our cat was noticeably happier and healthier than he has been after visits from previous pet sitters. Victoria gave our pet plenty of love and attention. You can tell that she really cares about the animals she pet sits.”

“Peter was great and I would definitely book with him again. He was very thorough, prompt, and followed all of my instructions exactly. I really appreciated the detailed notes he left after each visit, and it was clear from his updates that he took his time and genuinely interacted with my animals instead of just rushing through the visits. He made me feel comfortable knowing my animals were taken care of, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with pets.”

“Anna has been watching my puppy a few times a week since she was about 4 months old and my puppy always has the best time. Anna is very thorough and follows all of my instructions regarding my dog’s care. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Maryann was great with our cat and sent me lots of great pictures and updates. She also left an adorable gift for my pets and was easy to reach for updates. Would definitely use her again 😀”

“We are very happy to have had Yong because he seemed very professional from the first moment and immediately created a strong empathy with Ariel. We closely felt very reassured and calm when we separated from our cat and it was very nice to find him calm and peaceful upon our return!”

“Christina was incredible with my cat! She was very thorough, caring, and treated my cat as if she were her own. Christina went above and beyond, even spending extra time with her most days. She also made sure my apartment stayed clean and provided constant pictures and feedback. I felt so grateful knowing that my cat was in such great care while I was very far away. When I returned, my cat was very calm and happy, which shows she remained relaxed while I was away!”

About: Dogs have always been part of my life. Big, small, and everything in between. Growing up with pups taught me how to love, care for, and understand their unique personalities. I love them all and can’t wait to meet yours! 😀 I have hybrid work environment so I'm home two out of the three days a week if needed. I'm free on most weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in your home home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere. I ensure regular exercise and playtime tailored to their specific needs and preferences, fostering both physical and mental enrichment. Additionally, I will strictly follow any dietary requirements. Constant monitoring of their health and behavior allows for prompt action in case of any emergencies, and I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and pictures.
About: I have extensive experience working in Veterinary Emergency Care, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and how to recognize even subtle changes in a pet's well-being. I provide personalized boarding in my home and only accept one family at a time, allowing pets to enjoy a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of supervision and one on one attention. Unlike boarding facilities or sitters who care for multiple dogs at once, your pet will receive individualized care in a quiet home environment. I work primarily from home and rarely leave for more than an hour or two, so pets receive plenty of companionship, playtime indoors/outdoors, and potty breaks throughout the day. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and reinforce any training or habits you're already working on at home. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, anxious pets, and dogs that need extra patience or monitoring. I take pride in maintaining a clean, organized, and pet-safe home environment, helping reduce access to potential hazards while providing a comfortable and healthy space for every guest. To ensure a safe and comfortable stay for everyone, I ask owners to disclose any medical, behavioral, or special care needs before booking. While I have experience caring for pets that require extra attention or monitoring, I DO NOT accept dogs that are actively in heat, contagious, or experiencing illness that may impact their stay or the safety, health, and well-being of the pets in my home. Communication is very important to me, and you'll receive regular photos, videos, and updates throughout your pet's stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, and for owners to feel completely at ease while they're away. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, and companionship without long periods of absence. I am home most of the time, and if I step out, it is only for short periods (typically no more than 1–2 hours). I keep a calm and flexible routine so each dog can settle in comfortably and feel at home during their stay. ✨ Additional services available: Puppy potty training support during stays. I provide care in a clean, calm, and thoughtfully organized home environment. I typically host only one dog at a time so I can give them my full attention and create a peaceful, low-stress experience. I live just two blocks from multiple large parks, which allows for regular walks and outdoor time. I also have two small Shih Tzus at home who are friendly and used to being around other dogs; however, I can keep them completely separate if needed to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe.
“Andrea took such great care of my puppy! She followed all instructions, did some basic training with her and played with her! She has great communication with me and flexible scheduling which is amazing especially having a young puppy !”

About: I have had dogs all of my life ranging from large to small. I have had experience walking them, putting them on leashes, being around multiple dogs and people with my dogs. What sets me apart is that I am very active and will be willing to have your dog get lots of exercise. I also want to be doing this because I love dogs so much and miss having one of my own. I am responsible and organized and will always pay attention to your dog and not neglect them. My friends also have rover and I know from them the best ways to do things and handle things. I have also watched my friends and family’s dogs in the past as well! I’m able to watch dogs as needed in my home and have limited meetings each day. I work from home and so does my boyfriend! We live in a very walkable area and will be able to give the dog lots of attention as we both work from home and will be able to play with them and walk them!
About: I’m a very patient and understanding individual, especially with dogs who may need extra time to feel comfortable. We have a rescue dog with a difficult past who doesn’t always feel safe in new environments or around unfamiliar people or dogs, so we truly understand how important it is to find the right fit. That’s actually what inspired me to start Rover, to provide a safe and secure space for dogs like her. I have experience as a dog foster with rescue dogs and those who may be a bit nervous or shy. I have a separate floor in my home where your dog can have a quiet space to decompress and feel comfortable during their stay. Because my dog is territorial and does not get along with other dogs, I will keep her completely separated from your dog. Also have a nice fenced in yard where they can around and play. I would love the opportunity to watch and care for your furry family member :) I work from home full-time in IT, so I’m around all day to keep your dog company. They’ll get enough attention, potty breaks, and won’t be left alone for long periods I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. Inside, I have a finished basement with windows where they can relax and keep me company. This setup allows me to comfortably separate your dog from my dog and kid , ensuring a safe and stress-free environment.
“Baris continually is one of the best cat sitters I could ask for. He is always super helpful and caring and provides so much extra comfort while I’m away. It helps that my cat also loves him, one of the best for sure, could not recommend him enough”

“Melanie came by for a visit just to get to know my kitty, Jinjin before I go away for a week. Melanie was great and was able to get Jinjin out of hiding which was awesome and very reassuring. I highly recommend her!”

Christina was incredible with my cat! She was very thorough, caring, and treated my cat as if she were her own. Christina went above and beyond, even spending extra time with her most days. She also made sure my apartment stayed clean and provided constant pictures and feedback. I felt so grateful knowing that my cat was in such great care while I was very far away. When I returned, my cat was very calm and happy, which shows she remained relaxed while I was away!

Andrew was such a wonderful sitter for my two cats. Both warmed up to him quickly and I felt confident they were in good hands. Andrew kept me up to date with detailed notes and amazing pics. I am so happy to have booked with him and will for sure rebook for future sitting needs.

Victoria is a fantastic pet sitter. She cared for my two senior cats over two visits. One of my cats is blind and requires daily medications and eye drops, but Victoria helped me feel at ease while I was traveling. Victoria handled his care routine with such patience and attentiveness, and it was clear she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and stress-free. Her detailed Rover cards after each visit were so reassuring, and she sent plenty of photos so I could see for myself that both cats were happy and in good hands. Senior cats can come with extra needs and a little more complexity, and Victoria didn't miss a beat. If you have older pets or animals with special requirements, I would highly recommend Victoria. We'll definitely be booking again.

Yong was an excellent Rover sitter for my cats. He was incredibly diligent, followed every instruction exactly, and made sure their medications were administered properly—which was especially important to me. He was also very communicative throughout the stay, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and would absolutely book with him again.

Kat and her family are wonderful! Took time to understand my Ninja and work at his pace so that he could be comfortable, always updated me and doubled checked with me whenever something wasn’t clear. Will most definitely rebook Kat, I highly recommend her very friendly nice and super understanding!

We’ve had several different cat sitters over the years as we moved through different neighborhoods, and Rivera is by far the best we’ve ever had and my cat’s absolute favorite. My cat, who is usually shy with new people, warmed up to her right away. Rivera sends thoughtful updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind when I am away. If you are looking for someone who loves animals and is reliable, she’s the one.

Delaney was amazing! She was so friendly, reliable, and clearly cares about animals. She kept me updated with photos and my cats warmed up to her so quickly. She even went the extra mile to clean their food mat and offered to take out our trash so the house wouldn’t smell when we got home. I came back to happy, relaxed pets and everything spotless. 10/10 would recommend — she’s the best!
