“Jiaji was a fantastic sitter for our two kittens (5-6 months old)! She is very communicative and thorough in her visits and care notes. She went above and beyond to give added care when the kittens needed a bit more attention and some medication application. She also took very good care of our home. Highly recommend!”

“Jessica, is exceptional, she took great care of my two dogs. She sent me adorable pictures and kept me informed about their well-being during her visits. I highly recommend her services and will definitely rebook her whenever I travel.”

About: I have several years of experience in dog care, I offer a personalized, loving and responsible service. I specialize in the care of puppies, as well as in the accompaniment of older dogs. What sets me apart is my focus on the emotional well-being of each pet: I don't just take care of it, but I connect. I adapt to their routines, their fears and their needs, as if they were part of my own family. In addition, I send daily updates with photos and comments so that the guardians are always calm. My commitment is to create a safe, stimulating and loving environment, so that your furry friend is happy even when you are not around. Pet care is an essential part of my day-to-day life. I organize my routine according to the needs of each furry friend, ensuring enough time for walks, feeding, play, rest and personalized attention. Whether it's during the week or on weekends, I always reserve specific spaces to provide quality care, without haste and with a lot of dedication. For me, it's not just another task of the day: it's a responsibility that I enjoy and value deeply. Each visit or walk is an opportunity for connection, affection and trust. Whether I take care of pets in my home or in the client's home, my priority is always their safety, well-being, and comfort. I make sure that each space is safe, free of dangerous objects, and adapted to their needs (such as quiet rest areas, play areas, and constant access to fresh water). In my house, dogs are integrated as part of the family: they are not in cages or locked up, but they share spaces with me, with constant supervision, daily walks, and lots of love. I follow their usual routines to make them feel at home, and I keep the environment clean, ventilated, and respectful of the environment. When the care is in the client's home, I absolutely respect their instructions, their rules, and the pet's space. I maintain the cleanliness, routine, and tranquility of the animal to avoid any stress. In addition, I maintain fluid communication with the guardians so that they are always aware of how their furry friend is doing.
“Alex was excellent with our boy (cat). Alex is very patient, calm and caring pet sitter i can see he is true animal lover. He followed all the instructions during the visit. He even made sure to take the package from door step and put it inside in our absence. I strongly recommend him and will be booking him again for future visits”

About: I have several years of experience helping taking care of family and friends dogs, as well as my own. I have a lot of experience with walking, feeding and making sure dogs get lots of love and attention. When I had my own dog I always made sure to prioritize walking her and finding new things to teach her. I have a flexible schedule allowing me to fit pet care into my schedule, throughout the week. I currently work part-time, which gives me free time, especially on the weekend. I keep my calendar updated and only accept booking I know I can commit to. I am currently only offering dog walking and check-in visits. During visits, I will closely follow each owners instructions to make sure their dogs stay on their normal schedules including walking, playing and giving them food and water. I prefer to connect with clients beforehand so I can make sure I understand the dogs specific needs and send lots of updates throughout the visit.
“I am so lucky to have found Veronica! I work in emergency services and am on graveyards and Veronica has been a life saver when it comes to checking in on my dog while I’m at work. She communicates throughout the visit, plays, walks and cleans up after my pup. Couldn’t ask for anything more!”

“Jinhao was wonderful! He kept updating me throughout the whole visit, which really gave me peace of mind. I loved receiving the updates and photos, and it was clear that he took great care of my dog. He’s reliable, attentive, and very thoughtful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog walker!”

“I felt very comfortable going away and leaving my pets in Aurora’s care. She is very attentive to my pets needs and always gave extra loves. I really appreciate her communications messages to provide updates. This was my second time using Aurora and won’t be my last. I would highly recommend her if you want the best care for your pet while you are away.”

About: I have been taking care of pets basically all my life, at my grandma house we use to have a lot of animals, and she taught me the love that they need and now I want to keep sharing that love. I’m a staying at home mom for now so I have most of the time free to play with animals, give them love and take care of them. At my house we have plenty of space where they can stay and play and where I’m able to take care of them all the time
“Kaitlyn is incredibly professional and communicative. She took the time to learn about Luna and her routine before their first visit, which I truly appreciated. I’m looking forward to having her care for Luna again in the future!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes. I currently work from home, so any pet I babysit will have my full attention, lots of love, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away! I’m home all day — giving your cat plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I go out sometimes during the afternoon, it’s usually for a bit of exercise, dancing, or volunteering, Being home most of the time allows me to create a safe, engaging, and loving environment for your feline friend, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I live in a single family house with fenced yard with my husband—just the two of us—right in front of a park. Our home is a calm and safe space for cats, with plenty of cozy spots to relax. I can create a personal area for your cat if they need their own space, or they are welcome to lounge in the living room or stay with me in my room while I work. I always respect each cat’s comfort level and routine.
About: I love meeting and caring for dogs, and i live in a simple and comfortable home for new dogs to come and explore. I have a playful 10 y/o Maltese that makes for a great play date. I work from home and have my own dog, so my home is well set up for fur friends to come and hang out at! I live in a 3BR with my dog. Because I have a dog, the house is doggy proof with no snacks or choking hazards lying around.
About: Our own furbabies are reactive so I definitely know the struggles of finding someone who understands! I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from our trainer and am very detail oriented/structured when it comes to providing care! I currently work full time but am looking for another source of income when I am free! I am a teacher so I have breaks off when the children do, and have plenty of weekends off as well for date nights, vacations, etc! I only provide pet care in clients home, as boarding in my own home would cause stress to our reactive dogs. Open to learning and sticking to your schedule as much as possible so your furbaby doesn’t experience too much of a drastic change without you there!
“Chloe is very friendly and obviously loves animals as she was very kind to all my pets. She took good care of my dog and we will definitely choose Chloe again. Thank you Chloe!”

About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.
About: I have pet sit two cute poodle mixes for 10 days recently and also pet sit a medium sized dog for the weekend. My sister has two large dogs with whom I have spent a lot of time! I love spending time with dogs and cats! I assure you that your pets will get a lot of play time! I go to office twice a week so I am available on most days. I am also available on weekends and weekday evenings. So, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I live in an apartment complex with place to walk dogs. It is a 2 bedroom apartment. It is a dog friendly community but has breed restrictions. Cats are welcome!
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jill was wonderful. She was so patient with my shy cats and made sure they ate! She also cleaned up after them when they were messy. I really appreciated all the great photos. This was the first time my cats and I had a non family member take care of the cats, and Jill took care of my anxiety as well as my cats’ needs.

Paige was warm, kind, and very easy to work with. From our first meeting, she took an interest in learning about my outdoor cats and their individual needs. She provided updates during her visits, which I appreciated, and it was clear that she cared about the animals. I found Paige to be communicative and friendly throughout the booking. She was also very accommodating when our schedule changed and made arrangements to be flexible! Thank you for helping care for my cats and for taking the time to keep me informed while I was away!
Ashley takes great care of our two cats, Miko and Hutcha, during our time away. She did everything we requested, and is very good with communication. We are especially delighted and surprised to hear that Miko approached Ashley and they played. It’s good to see that Miko has become more socialized (with the right person!)

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Charlene as our cat sitter. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and went out of her way to make sure our cats were comfortable and cared for while we were away. What really stood out to us was how genuinely sweet and caring she was with them — she didn’t just stop by to complete the basics, but actually spent quality time playing with them and giving them attention during every visit. We could tell she truly cares about animals, and it gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our cats were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! 😊 Sijia was incredibly kind, flexible, reliable, and took such wonderful care of our cat while we were away. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with both our cat and our home. What meant the most to us was how quickly the two of them connected — our cat loved her right away, and it was obvious that she truly cares about animals and pays attention to every little detail. She kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip, and we could really relax knowing he was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for all the care and love she gave him. We will absolutely book her again for our next vacation and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter! ❤️

Jinhao was a pleasure to work with! He is very easy to communicate with and very responsive, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. He arrived right on time and it’s obvious he has a lot of experience and a genuine love for animals. My cat Sumo took to him almost immediately! Jinhao took care of all the essentials: feeding, fresh water, and scooping the litter, and also spent quality time playing with Sumo. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.

I would highly recommend Zhengjun when considering someone to take care of your pet. Zhengjun stepped up and took over for my original sitter when that arrangement didn’t work out properly. Without Zhengjun’s assistance we would have been in a real predicament. So thank you Zhengjun for stepping up and saving the day!!
