“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”

“Malcomn was the best Rover we ever had. Would hire him back in an instance. He was respectful, responsive, communicative and took exceptional care of our puppy and cat for a long weekend. He sent great descriptions and photos every day. He sets the bar high for Rovers!”

“Omgosh...I haven't seen my pups happier with any one other than my husband & I; until Angelina came along. VERY conscientious, caring, neat, & clean. Left the house the same or better than when I left. Dogs were so well cared for. They were happy and relaxed when I got home, like I never left. Easy to communicate with as well. Very responsive and timely. I look forward to having her return to my pups as a later date.”

“Kathryn was so wonderful! She took great care of our senior cat with special needs, and our rowdy, energetic young beagle mix. She kept in touch every day, and sent lots of photos. Our house can get a little messy with my cats litter boxes, plus he's a bit incontinent. But we returned home to an immaculate house, with very happy fur babies. We're so grateful, and will definately book Kathryn again! 100%”

“Cristian was perfect with Mochi! The meet and greet was super helpful and he was super easy to communicate with. He sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated. If I am ever back in town, I will definitely book with him again! :)”

“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”

Alston R.

“I have a strict potty schedule for my fur babies and I was happy with how she followed the list. She is very kind and really loved on my babies . I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with a deep interest in holistic pet health and behavior. I’m certified in pet first aid and have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Remy, since he was just 6 weeks old—he’s truly like a son to me. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to meet dogs' and cats' emotional, physical, and nutritional needs. I also adore and enjoy caring for pets of all kinds. I understand that every pet and owner has unique preferences and routines. I take pride in offering thoughtful, tailored care to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-attended. I work from home and have a reliable car, so I’m flexible and available for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. Feel free to reach out with your needs—I’d be happy to help care for your furry family member! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I have the time and flexibility to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and happy to adjust to meet your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well-loved in my care. In a client’s home, I respect the space, keep things tidy, and ensure pets have everything they need while maintaining their usual routine. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with lots of attention, enrichment, and affection. I’m also pet first aid certified and observant of any behavior changes, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Claudia did a wonderful job. She was responsive and on top off things. Recommend!”

“Maani was wonderful! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and clearly an animal lover. Throughout the entire stay, I received steady updates and pictures of my pets, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I will absolutely be booking with her again — highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!”

About: I have 18 years of animal care experience, including my beloved dog Belle, who was part of the family for 11 years before she went to doggy heaven. I worked at a veterinary center for 2 years and a doggy daycare, so I know exactly how to care for every type of dog. I also have experience with dog walking and doing house visits - just my first time using Rover! As far as training experience, I interned at the Shedd Aquarium working alongside dolphin, otter, and penguin trainers so I even have a stash of knowledge about animal training. I have a Bachelor of Science in animal sciences, so I understand your pets inside and out. I have a lot more experience with animal care that I would love to share, just send me a message! Sundays and Mondays are usually open. During the week, I'm mostly available for evening drop-in visits and walks after 5pm or so, but I may have some flexibility so feel free to ask! I always treat my clients' homes with respect. Locking the door back while I walk your dog, cleaning up any messes, and sticking to task are all part of my routine. Because of my years of animal care experience, I am trained to look for abnormal behaviors in pets and follow-up. I provide photos and messages with updates so you never have to worry if everything is alright. Currently, I do not own any pets of any kind so you don't have to worry about your pet interacting with any other animals.

“Yuliia is an excellent dog sitter. She provided detailed updates and regularly sent pictures, which I really appreciated. Even though my dog tends to bark, Yuliia managed the situation calmly and kept up with his routine without any issues. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was well-fed and exercised. I highly recommend Yuliia—she’s truly the best dog sitter you could ask for.”

“Gaby was amazing! Truly an incredible dog sitter, and I’ll be reaching out to her again for her services in the future. She took great care of my three dogs one of which is over 17. They clearly had a great time with her and she sent me frequent updates, pictures and even video clips. They seemed less impressed with me when I came home, which I saw as a testament to how much they enjoyed Gaby‘s company. She also took excellent care of my home. Gaby’s responsiveness and communication did wonders to remove the added stress from a last minute business trip.”

About: I have always loved animals! They hold a special place in my heart and I am determined to ensure the best care possible for your fur baby. I am always open to walking and playing with them and am happy to hang out with them. I am very open right now as I am only taking one class this summer. It takes place 3 times a week for 3 hours and does not interfere with anything else. I am a friendly person who loves to provide care for our furry friends. I will always ensure that the safety of your pet comes before anything else. I have also had a lot of experience with animals with disability and am happy to care for them as well.

“Athena was amazing! Our girls had so much fun & were very well taken care of. She also sent plenty of pictures and updates! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!”

About: I've had cats in my life since 2004. I've currently have 2 cats right now. I have experience with providing medication such as pills. Also I enjoy playing with cats and believe they should be played with. I like to keep things clean for them such as proving them with clean water and fresh cat litter boxes. I enjoy making them happy because it makes me happy. I currently am working full time Monday through Friday. I would have time available on some Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Occasionally I might be available on select Sundays. I can take care of your cats in your home, depending on how you want them to be in your home. If you want them to roam around in your home that's great. If you prefer then to be crated then that's ok too. What ever instructions you leave with me I respect that and can make it work.

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the summer and have been unable to get traditional employment due to a surgery in May. The surgery wasn’t serious but it required time off that traditional jobs wouldn’t offer. I have a car and have no problem going to and from the home. We have two levels in our home and would be able to offer separation from my dog. I have a yard with 4 friendly neighbor dogs and 2 parks within walking distance. Additionally, one of the parks offers a dog park.

About: I've always had a love for dogs and have cared for my own dogs since I was 12. My friends and family have asked me to walk, play with, feed, or bathe their pets and I am always happy to help! During the week, I work from home three days out of the five and those days I am responsible for my pets at home and love being able to be home with them. At home I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for play dates. My two dogs are very friendly with other dogs and they are crate trained so they can be easily put away. I do not plan on bringing my dogs for the services that I provide because they have anxiety.

“He kindly accepted a short notice request that we faced due to a cancellation. We were relieved that we Alex managed to come to our apartment in advance that we could introduce our dogs and explain general things we do for them daily basis. Lastly, he updated photos everyday and delivered comments of the situations for the majority days. In summary, we were pleased to met him because he was so kind and passionate to take care of dogs.”
