“All 4 of my pets adore Mia, which makes me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care when I travel. I really appreciate her daily pictures. They make me feel connected and reassured that my little guys are happy while I’m away.”


2. Laura K.

“She did so great with my two cats and one was a baby. She even helped me get them to get along which I couldn’t do. Shes the best! I had no issues or problems at all.”


3. Vee M.

“It was such a delight to work with Vee! From our first interactions and meet-up to the final day of her stay with our dog in our home, it was clear that Vee is a pro and thinks of every single detail. She watched our dog during our longest trip so far, and we felt so comfortable knowing that she was keeping our dog safe and happy! She sent regular updates and pics so that we didn’t worry for a second. It was clear our dog was so loved with Vee and we will absolutely reach out again when we are traveling!”


4. Jace D.

“I was going for 11 days overseas travel with my family and I have 2 golden retriever of 4 year old very mischievous ones. i never left them alone for so long and i was looking for someone i could trust completely like a family member and could handle my pets with care and emotion. I found Jace through Rover and we had couple of meeting before trying. Jace was very professional and during my trip he constantly was in touch with me updating about my pets. He stayed at my home few days and other days came over multiple times to look after them. After coming back from trip i found my pets very happy and with no emotional stress. I highly recommend Jace for his professional service. i will be using Jace for all my future travels!”

“Dependable, calm, responsive, caring. Dogs were so calm when we returned and Camryn’s attention to their needs is great. Will rebook with her!”


7. Camilo U.
“Camilo was amazing with my two kitties! I have 2 sweet, but demanding babies, with a strict medication regimen, but I never worry about them when they are in Camilo’s care. Because of his veterinary background, I know they are in good hands.”


8. Gary B.

“Gary did a wonderful job caring for our Shiba while we were away! He was able to follow our detailed instructions and requests, gave our dog lots of exercise and attention, and kept in very active communication with us sending pictures and videos and updates. We will definitely call on Gary again!”


9. Alexis G.

“Alexis did a great job sitting for Pearl. She came to meet her and get oriented to the house ahead of time. She confirmed the booking quickly and followed up with a message the day before the job. Alexis took good care of our cat and kept us updated with texts and photos. She followed all instructions and left the house clean. I recommend hiring her!”

16. Diana A.

“Benji had a great time…thanks for all your help Diana at a short notice.”


17. Dina N.
“Dina is truly a gem when it comes to pet care. She genuinely loves all animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. From the moment you meet her, you can tell how passionate she is about caring for animals — it’s in everything she does. She’s incredibly responsible, attentive, and loving, making her the kind of caregiver every pet parent hopes to find. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping your pet company, Dina goes above and beyond to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. You can always count on her to follow any instructions to a T and keep you updated with photos and messages, which is such a comfort when you’re away. Pets naturally gravitate toward her, and it’s easy to see why — she has the biggest heart and a calming presence. I couldn’t recommend Dina more highly. She’s not just a great pet sitter; she’s someone you can trust completely with a member of your family.”


18. Hailey R.
About: I’ve mostly owned cats myself but I’ve done some dog sitting/dog walking for family and for work. I love all animals as if they were my own and enjoy having them lighten up my day. I’m currently looking to take on some appointments part time. I’m pretty open for the start of 2025 and may take on more availability as time goes on. I’ve done some dog sitting/dog walking for work in the past and it was a pretty simple process. The more information I have about the pet the better. My appointments usually started with me making my way inside and greeting the pet at the home. Spending some time giving them attention and making sure their set up at home is all good. After a bit I would get there harness and or leash on and make our way outside for our walk. I would pay attention to the dog and talk to them or give them words of encouragement throughout our visit. Make our way around and back to the house where if they needed to be fed I would handle food, give them some fresh water, check out their surroundings and make sure their good before I leave myself. I love being able to foster a relationship with the pets I work with. Seeing them get so excited to see me really brightens my whole day.


19. Marsha G.
“Marsha is the perfect dog caregiver. She has been a dog owner for over 40 years and has dog sat for others many times. She's a wonderful caring person who always does right by others. The only thing that comes close to the love she has for her grandkids is her love and passion for dogs.”


20. Danielle B.
“Danielle was an incredible sitter for my pup, Cricket. Danielle easily scheduled a video call to meet, met us downstairs for the drop-off/pickup, sent pics throughout Cricket's stay, took him to the dog park, and even gave him a bath! I could tell he felt very comfortable with her and her two kitties. Was very glad Cricket had someone to snug with in bed. I will definitely be rebooking with Danielle!”
