Cristian is great. He is very caring and responsible. He took care of our two dogs very well. They love him. One of our dogs didn’t eat well and Cristian made sure he ate his meal. We had meet and great and Cristian took his time to pick up keys and go over the care instructions with us. He sent videos everyday and kept us update when he headed out to walk the dogs. We felt very peaceful during our trip knowing that our babies were in great care. Thank you!

Malcolm is very flexible and punctual! He gave our dogs so much attention and love. I have a reactive and anxious dog I was very worried of being away from, but she loved him and did well. He provides thorough updates and is detailed. Would recommend for dog walks and house sitting needs!

Diane was such a blessing. She has a really sweet and caring demeanor and we knew right away she was the right sitter to watch our fur babies. In our week long trip she took great care of our home and 2 dogs and kept in touch throughout our trip. We feel relieved to have found her and will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Diane!!

Steven was wonderful with Henry! He took the time to make Henry feel safe and comfortable around someone new. Steven asked great questions and took things slow until Henry was ready. Steven clearly has a love and passion for all animals! We can’t wait to have Steven come back again.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life — I grew up in a household with two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. I’m also a yoga instructor at Puppy Yoga, where I regularly work with groups of puppies, so I’m very comfortable handling high-energy, playful, and curious little ones with patience and calmness. Friends often trust me with their pets when they’re away, and I genuinely love having animals around — it never feels like a chore. Pets tend to feel comfortable with me quickly, and I’m attentive to their routines, moods, and needs. I also love walking and being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and keeping pets active are something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am not tied to a traditional 9–5 job, which allows me to plan my days around pet care and give pets the time and attention they need. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for pets in. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a peaceful, stress-free atmosphere where pets feel safe, cared for, and respected.

We absolutely loved having Abby watch our pups! She took such great care of them and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. The dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home, and our house was spotless. It’s clear she treated our home and our pups with genuine care. We truly appreciated the peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Abby—she’s wonderful! 🐾💛

About: Hola! I’m Barbara—an economic justice advocate, Red Cross volunteer, and total bonafide Dog Mom. I grew up surrounded by German Shepherds, but as an adult, I fell in love with the little ones—starting with my very first Shih Tzu, who looked more like an Ewok than a dire wolf! For over 20 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve walked and cared for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to seniors needing a little extra TLC. In 2020, my life changed when I adopted a special-needs Shih Tzu named Chewy, who has a rare condition called Megaesophagus and eats upright in a “Bailey chair.” Chewy’s thriving journey has been such a gift—and we’ve shared it with a supportive community through his Instagram Now that Chewy is doing great, we’ve been hosting more furry friends and officially joined Rover to offer personalized, loving care to other pets—especially small to medium dogs. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and love having a companion to walk, cuddle, and care for. ✅ We only care for one household’s pets at a time—so your dog(s) will get all the attention ✅ Calm, flexible, and experienced with both healthy pets and those with medical or mobility needs ✅ Fully covered with Pet Sitter Insurance for your peace of mind ✅ Let’s set up a Meet & Greet to see if we’re the right fit! Whether you’re going out of town or just need a reliable sitter, Chewy and I are ready to make your dog feel right at home. I work from home full-time, which means your furry little one will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I have the flexibility to take them on walks, enjoy playtime like fetch or tug-of-war, and give them the love and companionship they need—whether it’s a quick potty break or a full day of care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow any instructions you provide closely—feeding schedules, medications, preferred routines, and behavior notes are all part of the care plan. I also keep your pet's environment calm, clean, and cozy, just like you'd want it to be. In my home, I care for only one household’s pets at a time to make sure your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention. I supervise all outdoor time and never allow off-leash play unless in a securely fenced area. I also have Pet Sitter Insurance for added peace of mind. If I’m visiting your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pet—double-checking doors, cleaning up, and keeping things tidy and secure. And if anything seems off while you're away, I’ll keep you informed right away.

Stephanie pup sat and house sat for us while we were out of town for over a week and she was FANTASTIC every step of the way. She came over to meet our two pups and they instantly connected, even our doggo who’s a bit of a scaredy cat loved her instantly. We explained the flow of a typical day before we left, and throughout the trip we never for a second worried that Stephanie needed extra reminders or pings. Stephanie sent us regular updates and pics of the pups as they explored the neighborhood on their leashed walks. Stephanie was also very clean and treated our place with a ton of respect - we’d had the place cleaned before we left and it looked even cleaner and tidier when we got back. Overall we were really happy with Stephanie, who helped us out immeasurably while also juggling her work. Our pups were well taken care of, our place was looked after, and I honestly can’t remember another trip we took where we didn’t have to worry at all about how our girls were doing, and we have Stephanie to thank for that!

I cannot say enough good things about Jesica, she is the absolute best!! She took such wonderful care of our senior dog, Milo. I received lots of pictures and videos so we can him daily as we were out of town for our daughters wedding. She even handed out candy to the trick or treaters. She is loving, compassionate and trustworthy. Do not hesitate to have her stay at your house to watch your doggies. Thank you one million times, Jessica!

Steven was a fantastic companion for my cockapoo, Otis, while I was away for 5 nights. I had limited internet access and Steven was super flexible in sending photos and videos based on my ability to receive them. Even though I wasn’t always connected, I felt safe knowing that he was under Steven’s care. They spent time playing in the snow, searching for treats in the ball pit, and enjoying lots of snuggles. Looking forward to our next booking in just a few weeks!

This was our first booking with Cristian and we’ll definitely be booking with him again. He was in regular communication with us, sent great pictures, and genuinely seemed to enjoy his time with Gus. Most importantly, Gus seemed to be just fine without us! House was intact and the dog was safe. Cristian treats the responsibility very seriously and I had no concerns for Gus while we were gone.

From the beginning when we connected with Ernesto & he agreed to house sit for Marx & we met him I felt secure in choosing him. He's a very responsible sitter who took care of Marx in a way that I appreciate. Marx grew attached & trusted him. The photos & videos helped in making me feel secure my doggy Marx was being cared for. I would certainly have him as a house sitter in the future if needed & highly recommend him to anyone who needs a wonderful sitter for your pet.
