“Gracie was well taken care of with Jessica. She sent daily morning and evening photos so we could see our furbaby. She was quick to respond to us when we sent messages. I would recommend her. I intend to use her again when we are in the area.”


“Jennifer was kind enough to accept our pup Cyrus for a last minute overnight. This was our first time leaving our 6 month old puppy and she made us feel very comfortable. She sent lots of pics and was super responsive if we reached out. Would definitely recommend!”


“We are so happy that Kira could take great care of our puppy again. Clover always has the best time at Kira’s place — we know she is safe and loved there!”


“Our senior beloved puppy had a wonderful stay with Nitasha and Neerav, would absolutely use their services again, highly recommend! Super flexible, great updates, familiarity with senior dogs, just wonderful!”


“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”


“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”


“My dog sitter canceled on me when i was flying out the next day for a week, I was desperate and anxious! I requested her the same day and she accepted less than 2 mins later. She came over for a meet and greet and felt she was a great fit. I dropped my furbaby off later that day. She treated my furbaby as her own. She would send videos and pics to keep me updated. Would definitely not hesitate to use her again!”


“Both Orlando and Christina took such good care of our Louis and gave us multiple updates throughout the day and even gave our little boy a shower when he had an accident. Would definitely recommend them to watch your fur baby and would bring back Louis if we ever needed them to watch him again!”


“This family took care of my pup as their own. I could feel the love through the ton of pictures that Katherine would send me daily. Totally will use them again. ❤️ Thank you!”


“Thank you for looking after my dog Lexi over the weekend, you have such a great personality and wonderful atmosphere! I’m 100% satisfied with your service. You kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which is so reassuring. Lexi left happy and there were no issues during her stay. I recommend Yuberkis as a reliable dog sitter and will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you so so much for taking such good care of Lexi! 🫶🏻”


“Desiree did amazing job with my little Buddy when I was away. He had some appetite changes, and Desiree was patient with him and made sure he was able to eat. He is well rested and content after his stay. I appreciate how caring and kind Desiree is with my little pup. 😊😊😊”


“Koryn was a great pet sitter for my 100 pound German Shepherd during a recent 4 day trip! She provided daily updates and it was clear Maverick enjoyed being with her. Five Stars in every regard, I would definitely use Koryn again!”


“So happy i finally found a sitter i can trust! Super responsible & keeps me updated. My baby is always happy when i pick him up letting me know he’s enjoying the time spent with Jay & Benji.”


“Neide was a wonderful fit for our dog, Vivian. She provided us with updates(both photo and video) everyday. She was great with following Vivian’s food and exercise schedule. Everything about our experience with Neide was perfect and we cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to look after your furry friend. She is the BEST!!!”


“Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.”


“Te, Thank you for your professionalism and responsible nature. We were very nervous about leaving Chester overnight for the first time with a sitter. Your attention to Chester’s behavior/reactions was reassuring, and the updates and photos were appreciated. Chester is resting happily, and we are thrilled that he made new friends and has a place to rest his head! Kia”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also familiar with basic training, giving medications, and making sure every pet feels loved like they’re part of the family. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because of my two dogs, Bobby and Dutch. They’ve taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and being present. My daily routine already includes early morning walks, feeding schedules, cleaning up, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Caring for them has made me naturally organized and attentive to the needs of other pets. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine closely including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime while creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced with crate training and can help reinforce good habits, making sure pets feel secure in their space. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, carefully following instructions to ensure their health and well-being. I keep everything clean, provide regular updates to owners, and treat every pet like family. Thanks to Bobby and Dutch, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love in pet care.

“Jessica was Awesome with our Pebbles. She is very responsive, passionate and very caring. Jessica always updated us with messages and pictures while we were away. I truly recommend her. She will definitely be seeing Pebbles again. ☺️ So glad I was able to find her.”


“I had a great experience boarding my dog Brix with Sridevi! She was warm, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. Brix is very friendly and easygoing, and he felt right at home with her. Sridevi sent lots of photos and timely updates throughout the stay, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. He looked so happy and relaxed in every picture — and was just as happy when I picked him up! I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”


“Enrique was very kind from meeting him, to dropping and picking my dog up. He updated me everyday while he was gone and showed Suki love and care. When we picked her up I could tell she was happy and was going to miss him. Enrique is an amazing dog sitter and has great energy to him. I will definitely be trusting him with my dog and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
