“Aleksandra is so thoughtful and loves and cares for my two boys like they are hers! House was spotless when I returned from vacation and I got tons of photos and updates when I was away! Highly recommended 🐶💕”

“Roni was fabulous. She was great with my two cats. She sent lots of pics which helped me worry less. I could see she liked playing with them and was very loving. I highly recommend”


“Jarrod did an excellent job talking care of Sophie and went above and beyond when she was having tummy troubles. We was very communicative and sent great photos. He also took great care of the house. I hope he is available the next time I need pet sitting... There is a reason he is in such high demand.”


About: 🐾 Your Pet’s New Favorite Human! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve had many different pets throughout my life and currently have cats of my own, so I know firsthand that every pet has their own unique personality, quirks, and routines. 🐱💕 I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your furry friend needs a little extra playtime, a relaxing cuddle session, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to be there for them! I’m patient, attentive, and always happy to go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and little check-ins along the way. 📸🐾 Basically, if your pet has four legs, a wagging tail, whiskers, or a whole lot of attitude—I’m probably going to love them. 😊 Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m happy to work around each pet’s individual needs and routine to make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. 🐾 I care for every pet with patience, attention, and lots of love! I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of cuddles. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. 🐾💕

“Literally one of the best rovers I’ve ever had. He sent numerous pictures throughout the day, sent multiple updates, took care of the house and made sure to help my old pup be as comfortable as possible while I was gone. I will 100% be booking him again and as soon as I know I have plans. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi everyone! I’ve been around furry friends my whole life, while I don’t have any pets atm, I’m grateful for the opportunity to watch yours😊✨ I currently have open availability, so I’m free to watch your pets coordinated to your needs.. I’m currently accepting opportunities for both walking and sitting🐶🐾✨ While I do have a large apartment with a balcony for fresh air, I always prioritize safety and comfort. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home when that helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout their stay🐾✨
“Sarah was wonderful with our puppy! He hadn’t been left alone yet and Sarah was sweet enough to literally sit with him all day while I went into work! Also super appreciated the meet and greet so he could get familiar :)”

“Luz was great with our energetic paw-ter Moxie! From the meet and great we could tell they hit it off right away. We did an 2 night sitting at our place and got regular updates and photos. Once we got home, everything was in place and Moxie was very excited to see us. Would recommend!”


“Halle was punctual, very communicative and thoughtful during her stay with our puppy. She left our home clean and bed sheets freshly washed, she took great care of our pup sending multiple updates per day and taking her on multiple walks. We would love to have Halle again next time.”

“We are so lucky to have met Shyy! We went out of town for the first time without our dog and were pretty nervous with how he would do, but he immediately loved her and was comfortable! Our dog is a rescue and learning how to be chill with other dogs around on walks and she knew exactly how to handle him. Upon coming back home I can see his confidence has continued to grow which makes me so happy :). Shyy is very qualified, kind, communicative, and just in general a lovely person. 10/10.”

“Mara is just fantastic! I’m so grateful I found her on here. My dog can be anxious/fearful with new people sometimes if they approach her too excitedly and Mara just got it, and knew exactly how to set my pup up for success with the first meeting and then it was just smooth from there. Both drop ins and an in home overnight stay went great.”


“Anna is very friendly and our dogs were very comfortable with her. She communicates well and kept our dogs and home safe while we were away. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again for future dog sitting needs.”

“Jenya was extremely responsive, attentive and respectful during her stay at my house, and kept me updated with photos of my babies! Highly recommend having Jenya watch your furry babies!”

About: My approach to pet sitting is based upon knowledge, compassion, communication and trust. This sets a peaceful tone for both the pet and their owner. I'm a member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) and have taken many courses including dog body language, pet sitting essentials and pet first aid. I have a Pet CPR Certificate from the American Red Cross as well. I enjoy pet sitting in the clients home where I can create a customized approach to caring for the needs of their pet and their owner. I also excel at dog walking. When walking your dog, I pay close attention to how they're interacting with the environment and always keep their health and safety as a priority. I look forward to working with you and your beloved pet! I am available 7 days a week 7am-8pm with over-nights being an option as well. I'm happy to work with you on finding the right schedule for the both of us. When caring for a pet in the client's home, I first learn the habits of the pet from the owner. This includes: their feeding schedule, medications needed, hiding places, their behavior toward people and other animals, potty habits etc. From there I create an environment of comfort for the pet making sure they are played with, fed, walked and rested. During this time, I stay in contact with the owner and update them with notes and photos of their pet.

“Elijah was fantastic! I have a rescue pitbull who can sometimes get spooked by strangers coming into the house. I asked Elijah to meet us a day early so I could introduce them properly and he was happy to do so. While he was dog sitting he sent a ton of cute photos of the pups and updated me periodically so I knew everything was going smoothly. He’s the first dog sitter I’ve trusted outside of family members and everything went great! 10/10 highly recommend!”

About: I am innately an animal lover and advocate and will treat your pet as it were my own. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I get super nervous leaving my own dog, so do everything in my power to ensure you and your pet are comfortable. From a young age, I was the kid that would come home with an injured wild animal asking my parents to help it. I grew up with a German Shepard and greyhound, and now have my own dog, who’s a pitty/boxer/cattle dog mix. I understand every dog has different needs and equipped to take care of high energy, intelligent dogs who need a lot of exercise and stimulation. I’ve taken care of small and big dogs as well as cats and bearded dragons. I’ve fostered dogs as well, so am familiar with anxious animals that need TLC and time and space to decompress. I’ve invested in training with my own pet that allows me to read body language well. I have been pet sitting for over a decade. I currently have open availability from early morning through evenings during the week and weekends. I do long walks every morning and evening and keep pets on a consistent feeding schedule. I typically aim to take pets on walks 3 times a day depending on the animal needs and client’s requests. I also ensure adequate playtime with toys and activities that are engaging. I am happy to drop in as often as needed for more anxious animals.
“This is the best dog sitting experience I have had in awhile! Allison is very detail oriented and i felt comfortable with her right from the meet and greet. I have two cattledog mixes, and she made sure that their energy needs were met but also they got their snuggle time too! She gave plenty of updates and we came back to a clean and organized home. I had no worries and was able to enjoy my time away. I cannot recommend her enough and i look forward to the next time we need to book her again in the future.”

“Izayah is fantastic, we felt at ease knowing that our pets were being well taken care of! He did a good job following our instructions and was quick to respond to messages. We have two cats and one large dog, and Izayah did a great job with all three.”

“Ana is fantastic pet sitter and took incredible great care of my two dogs, handling their food, medication, and gave them plenty of love and attention. They also had a chance to interact with her dog Sadie, who is extremely chill and gets along well with other dogs. She provided me with frequent updates and pictures and is my goto for rover sits.”

My dog is 16 years old, blind and deaf, so I needed an in-house sitter. I’m so glad I found Kristin and I couldn’t recommend her more. From our initial meet up, I knew I could trust her. She was attentive and cared for our senior dog with detail and love. I also appreciated her professionalism and her respect for our space.

Luz was great with our energetic paw-ter Moxie! From the meet and great we could tell they hit it off right away. We did an 2 night sitting at our place and got regular updates and photos. Once we got home, everything was in place and Moxie was very excited to see us. Would recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Pixie! Andrea took such wonderful care of our senior dog and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly attentive to Pixie’s needs and kept us updated frequently with photos and videos, which we absolutely loved and looked forward to receiving. We also came home to a very happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless apartment. It was obvious that Pixie had been treated with so much care and affection throughout our time away. We are incredibly grateful to Andrea and would absolutely trust her with Pixie again. Highly recommend!

Hung was great! He took wonderful care of our little Chloe and communicated daily with pictures and updates. Even though our requests and questions were a bit much sometimes, he was very responsive and respectful throughout. He was also extremely respectful of our home and left it very clean. Will book again and highly recommend!

Elijah took great care of our pup while we were out of town ensuring our dog remained safe during a heat wave, and a power maintenance outage. He sent us photos of our pup being his wacky self and we got home to a happy pup ready to continue his routine feedings and walks. We are very grateful Elijah kept our pup safe and stress free. He will be our go to Rover as long as he is available.

Vanessa is truly the best house sitter! She is incredibly thorough, clean, kind, and loving. My pets absolutely adore her. She follows every instruction perfectly and sends tons of updates and pictures, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. I’ve used her several times now, and I’m always hoping she’s available for my next trip!

Briley took great care of my cat and updated me with pictures while I was gone. I came home to a clean apartment and a cat who was happy to see me but also was looking for his new buddy Briley for a while after I got home 🥹 it was very sweet. I will definitely book her for my future cat sitting needs!

Valeria did a great job caring for my cats. She sent daily updates and double checked arrival and departure times in case I had a change in travel plans which I appreciated. One of the kitties can be a little particular, but she seemed to warm up to Val quickly. Highly recommend Val for cat sitting needs!

We had such a great experience with Robyn and Connor! They were both incredibly kind and communicative from the start, and our dog settled in with them almost immediately during the meet and greet, which made us feel so comfortable leaving her in their care. We got lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, and our pup looked so happy and relaxed the entire time! They also took amazing care of our home and left everything super clean. We’ll absolutely be using them again and would highly recommend them!

Tina was amazing! Provided constant pictures and videos and updates of our dog and spent more time with her than we even expected! She went above and beyond in every aspect and the communication was absolutely top notch. Would recommend her to anyone looking for an in home dog sitter. 5/5!!
