“Stefanie is AWESOME! You cannot find a better pet sitter! My family and I were looking for a professional pet sitter who had experience working with senior dogs with special needs. My dog, Athena, requires a specific diet with medications and is almost blind. I booked Stefanie for three afternoon "drop-ins". She came a week before our booking for a meet and greet and the years of experience working in an animal hospital and taking care of pets became evident instantly. Stefanie knew how to to help my blind dog feel comfortable by allowing Athena to approach her and initiate the interactions. She is such a professional, taking notes, asking questions, and going over my instructions, helping to ensure that the drop-ins were going to go as smoothly as possible for Athena. Stefanie has a very strong work ethic. She is extremely punctual and reliable. Athena requires a specific diet and medications have to be given in a specific amount and order. Stefanie followed my instructions perfectly. She kept me regularly updated with detailed texts and many photos, including how she prepared Athena's food. She even cleaned her water bowl every day. Stefanie did so many wonderful things for Athena and went above and beyond the booking. My family and I are not only impressed with her sense of responsibility, but her patience and kindness towards our precious girl is priceless. Athena showed how much she trusts Stefanie by wagging her tail when she arrived and allowing Stefanie to give her a belly rub. This is huge for a blind dog. Athena was even looking for her the next couple of days. Clearly, Athena trusted Stefanie with her care and so do I. My family and I plan to book Stefanie again and again! She is a rare gem and (we are) so grateful to her!”


About: I adopted a dog when I was 8, a pomeranian, took care of it and raised it since he was 1 month old. Now I don't have access to him since we moved out, someone else adopted him because we didn't have the ability to keep him. Them adopted other two puppies, huskies, the same story happened as we tend to move a lot. 1 year ago I adopted a frenchie and currently raising it, on a healthy 24 pounds and very active and energic, trying to work on his hyperactivity so I won't be able to take him with me if requested. I'm a Uber driver, so I would always be able to attend any reservations outside of this times: ●Monday to Friday 11:30am - 2:30 pm, 5:30pm - 6:30 pm. ●Weekends negotiable, standard would be 11 am to 3 pm. I feed mine twice a day, depending on activity of the day I might rise the amount he eats just a little to make up for it. Then daily training of 10- 30 minutes with split treats to not over feed.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of pet and house-sitting needs. I’m open to different schedules, including extended stays, overnight sitting, and last-minute bookings when available. My goal is to make things as convenient as possible for both you and your pets. I take safety, trust, and respect very seriously. I understand that when I’m caring for someone’s pet, I’m also being trusted with their home and personal belongings. I treat every household with the same care and respect I would expect for my own, making sure pets are safe and comfortable while keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m mindful of boundaries, follow the owner’s instructions, and always leave the home and belongings exactly as I found them.
About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and they are my happy place. I’ve had my furbaby for the past 3 years and would love to extend my love to other furbabies as well. I am a very patient and caring person and love volunteering to transport of foster dogs. I’m currently not working so I’ll have plenty of time to dedicate my time energy and attention to the dogs I am entrusted with. My world revolves around my dog. I have a friendly dog that I care for as if he was my baby. Dogs mean so much to me and would love to share the love I have for dogs.
“We had a great first drop by with Allycia. I know I sent way too many instructions/details, but she handled everything and took a lot of stress off of us. She knows how to handle the dogs and we appreciated the updates and the pics. Thanks Allycia!”

“Regina’s patient and great at assessing what my dogs need. She then gives me helpful feedback, and homework, to work on with them until I see her again. She’s very understanding and makes training manageable. Beyond grateful to be working with her.”

About: I’m naturally very observant and attentive to the little things. I pay attention to details changes in behavior, energy, body language, surroundings, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I’ve cared for dogs for more than 10 years and have been pet sitting since 2020, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with a member of your family. I’m dependable, patient, active, and a strong communicator. My goal is for you to leave your dog in my care knowing they are not only being walked or checked on they are being noticed, respected, and cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each dog my full attention rather than squeezing walks into an already crowded day. I enjoy staying active and outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s an occasional walk or consistent weekly care, I want your dog to experience someone who is present, attentive, and never just checking a box. Trust begins with paying attention. I carefully follow the routines and instructions you provide because the little details often matter most. During walks and visits, I stay aware of your dog’s body language, surroundings, energy, and anything that seems unusual. I’ll respect your home, communicate clearly, and care for your dog with patience and attentiveness so you can have peace of mind while they’re with me.

About: Patient & Attentive: I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in my care. • Deep Understanding of Needs: Having been a lifelong pet owner and professional sitter for 3+ years, I instinctively recognize subtle cues—whether it’s when they want to play, cuddle, or need a nap. • Experienced Medication Administration: From daily pills to injections, I’m trained and confident in giving medications accurately and on schedule, so you never have to worry. • Customized Care Plans: I adapt walks, playtime, feeding, and downtime to suit each animal’s energy level, health requirements, and behavior style. • Reliable & Trustworthy: Your home and pets are in safe hands—I’m punctual, communicative, and committed to providing updates so you can enjoy peace of mind. My schedule is flexible according to you! I can do any time and any day I am flexible and adjusting. If you need me for a specific time frame I can adjust my schedule to yours Personalized Attention: I learn each pet’s routines and preferences—meal times, favorite toys, and cuddle spots—to keep them comfortable and content. • Safe Exercise & Play: Walks and play sessions are tailored to your pet’s energy level and health needs, ensuring fun while preventing overexertion. • Medication & Special Needs: With experience administering pills, liquids, and injections, I follow vet‑approved instructions precisely and monitor for any side effects. • Calm, Patient Handling: I move at your pet’s pace, allowing shy or senior animals to warm up gradually and extroverted pets to burn off energy safely. • Regular Check‑Ins: I observe behavior, appetite, and activity levels closely—so even subtle changes are caught early and communicated to you.
“Mariah did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Raisin, while my family and I were on vacation. Raisin can be a bit shy at first, but Mariah took the time to make her feel comfortable and gave her all the love and attention she needed. She kept us updated with regular messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I could tell Raisin was well-cared for because she was happy and calm when we got home. Mariah went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Thank you, Mariah! Would definitely book with you again in the future!”


“Jack is a great communicator and took excellent care of my pup! He accommodated my request on short notice, was prompt and I’d highly recommend him to anybody looking for pet care. I will definitely rebook him again.”

About: I have owned dogs and cats for over 13 years. I have had special needs dog for a year, which taught me to be patient and very loving with our little loyal friends in times of need, I have had a cat that was very unfriendly to our dog so I was building their friendly relationship, and I’ve had Caucasian Shepherd that was very tough to control, but I was loving to train them and take care of them and eventually make them very well trained. I’m a huge dog fan, I love to play with them, exercise with them, just have fun with them. They are my favorite animals. I would be glad to walk your dogs, and take care of them while you are busy, keep up with their diets if required, keep them company while their parents are away, and of course play with them. I am home 24/7 and ready to take full care of your fur babies. I can arrange potty breaks and long walks to your needs. I have a house with a fence and backyard, and a huge green park next door. I have a 4 year old friendliest golden retriever to keep your baby company. I have crate options if it’s needed.
“Michelle was amazing! She sent daily updates of our kitty and took the time to cuddle with her while we were away- we’ll definitely think of Michelle next time we need a sitter!!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have one dog, and three cats at the moment. I love how they show their love and how they can really brighten up our days. I work at a school as an instructional assistant. So the pet care will have to be before and after work. I have weekends off. I care for my pets at home by walking my dog, playing outside with my dog, playing inside with my cats and their toys, they love the laser toy. I feed my animals morning and night and sometimes they get an afternoon snack. I love to relax with them on the couch while watching TV. I also allow them on my bed when it’s time to go to sleep.
“This is the 3rd or 4th time having Angela do drop in visits with my 2 dogs. She is freakin great. My dogs love her. Finally got to meet her prior to this visit and she is very nice, responsive and reliable. Hire her!”

Jane is truly an amazing, reliable, and attentive cat sitter! 😊She took such wonderful care of Mochi and Taro during her visits. She provided detailed daily notes and sent so many cute photos and videos that gave me total peace of mind while away. She was very gentle and understanding with Mochi's shy nature and built great rapport with Taro. I'm so grateful for her help and will definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommended!👍🏻

Bronte was great and very understanding. My cats spent most of her visits hiding because she's new and they don't know her. But Malí eventually ventured out and decided Bronte was ok. Hopefully Malí will tell Felis and he'll come out of hiding next time. Thanks, Bronte!

Emily took such wonderful care of our pets! We were especially worried because one of our dogs is a senior, but she gave them so much love and attention that we were able to enjoy our family trip without any worries. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions carefully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will definitely ask Emily to watch our pets again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!

Shana is great! I hired her to take care of our tortoises that live outside while we were gone for 9 days. Not only did they need daily food and water, but their house also needed to be cleaned regularly. They’re pretty large tortoises so they also make big messes. She updated me every day, took pictures, and I came home to a spotless tortoise enclosure which was a dream. She really cared for them the way we do and I knew she bonded with them from her messages. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy and extremely caring, hire Shana!

Jennifer was kind, caring, and compassionate. She treated sunny with care and love. In addition, she gave us daily updates on how sunny was doing. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner. Sunny is usually afraid of strangers, but she immediately warmed up to Jennifer . Jennifer was asked to administer a complicated set of instructions for care of sunny, including handling medication and specific food. She did this very well and we are well pleased with her.

Livio and Chen took great care of our cat Micky this past week! They were super communicative and kept us updated throughout with lots of pix and videos of Micky. They also brought to our attention a potential concern to follow up on which we really appreciate!

Evan was absolutely wonderful with Morrie! From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly a true animal lover. Morrie came home happy and relaxed, which tells me everything I need to know. Evan sent updates that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I never had to wonder how things were going. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Evan is your person. We’ll definitely be booking again!

OMG! I cannot even BEGIN to say how GRATEFUL I AM to have Jessica watch my furbabies! This is my 1st time using Rover & I wasn't worried for one MINUTE that they weren't in the BEST CARE! She made sure my guy got his insulin shots on TIME & even THOUGH the Princessa didn't HONOR Jessica with her presence, she was still so happy to see me when I got home & was no worse for wear! I would recommend her to anyone looking for caring, responsible person to take care of your precious babies, Jessica is it! You won't regret it!

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
