“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Alison! She stepped in at the very last minute and took such wonderful care of our cats. There was even an unexpected fire alarm while we were away, and she handled it calmly and professionally - we felt so relieved knowing she was there. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets 💛”

“Ursula did a great job taking care of my Juno, and I came back to a healthy, happy, and well fed cat. She also was very patient with issues that we had with my building's concierge, which did not want to let her into my apartment (despite me granting her permission to enter) at a time when I had very limited ability to communicate to fix the problem. I would book Ursula again without hesitation.”

About: Constant TLC (Tender Loving Care) for Every Furry Friend! I also work at a Doggy Daycare which has given me tons of hands-on experience with dog behaviour and care. I'm currently working 30 hours a week so my availability for caring for pets outside work has increased. I have a plenty of space during week days and weekends to care for your furry pals. I have experience handling dogs who may not be used to friendly strangers. I can easily make them warm up and make them feel like I'm just a another member of their family.

About: Since I was ~12, my neighbors would always bring their dogs for me to watch/walk while they were on vacation. More recently, I have also walked friends and neighbors dogs while they are at work (I work remote). I work remote in a flexible job, so I’m able to give lots of attention to your dog. I can walk them 4+ times per day depending on your needs, I live right near grass if they only want to go out to pee, and I am a 1 min walk from a small dog park if they love to run off leash. I live in an apartment with my own dog, so I always make sure everything is pet friendly - no harmful cleaning chemicals, air filters, only dog treats. I even have a reverse osmosis water filter to give your doggo luxury water :)

About: I have taken care of several dogs in the past of different ages. This care has included walks, dog sitting overnight and drop in’s. Some of the dogs have required medication and specialized diets. I am currently in a masters program for Occupational Therapy. I am available Monday-Thursday in the morning, Friday nights and Saturday-Sunday all day. I am near some parks with lots of grassy areas and am in a good neighborhood. I will make sure to be attentive to their needs, give them affection and keep them safe during our outings. I will abide by food restrictions and will adjust locations of walks depending on if the dogs are dog friendly/aggressive.

“Steph is an INCREDIBLE dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond to make sure my new puppy had an amazing first week adjusting to his new routine. She was so patient with Ozzy and Ozzy very clearly loved his time with Steph. Steph even gave me training tips and provided very detailed updates after each visit- pictures and videos included! She understands dogs on a deep level and knows how to connect with them instantly. She also made sure my apartment was left even better than she found it and even contacted me when she realized there was a leak in my apartment! She went above the normal expectations of a dog sitter, and I feel so lucky to have found her. I highly recommend Steph for all your dog sitting needs!”

About: I truly love dogs and treat them like family. I currently have a puppy that I care for and train daily using positive reinforcement. Through this experience, I have developed strong skills in routine care, structure, and understanding dog behavior. I provide multiple daily walks (usually 3–4 per day), playtime, and mental stimulation using puzzle toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and secure. I am patient, attentive, and very detail-oriented when it comes to pet care. I understand how important routine, consistency, and emotional comfort are for dogs. I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. I only study part-time in the mornings two days a week, so I have plenty of time to focus on caring for dogs. I already have a daily routine that includes multiple walks with my own puppy, so adding walks and care for other dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time outdoors and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and love they need. I provide multiple daily walks (3–4 times per day), playtime, and mental stimulation using puzzle toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities. I am patient, attentive, and focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. I understand how important routine, consistency, and clear communication are for dogs to feel comfortable and secure.

Evelina was absolutely amazing with my Marley while I was away on a week-long cruise. From the start, she was professional, kind, and very communicative, which gave me real peace of mind. She sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear Marley was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When I got back, Marley was relaxed, healthy, and clearly loved his time with her. Evelina truly treated him like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Evelina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover helper.

Anna took exceptional care of my two babies, and followed all of my instructions! She was polite and checked in with me on any questions about the babies and gave me a heads-up if she might be stopping by early. I came home to a perfect and clean apartment, and two very happy and well-fed babies. Highly recommend!

Paige is incredible! She is very reliable, flexible, and also very responsive. She is great with my two very shy kitties and has even gotten them to trust her enough to let her pet them (which is not a small feat). I trust her completely with my cats and I am always assured that they will be well cared for. I’ve booked Paige’s services for almost a year now and plan to keep booking her whenever she is available to help.
