“In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!”

“Son has been super responsive from the first point of contact. He was able to quickly schedule a meet and greet to make sure your dog is super comfortable with him before he commits. My dog, Benji, is a very nervous dog and Son was able to adapt to his needs and care for him. Son was flexible fast communicating any details and sending on time reports and pictures. He will check in a day prior to the booked service to ensure he got everything. Very easy and very good first experience with Rover. He was able to make the pet owners to feel at ease while been away. Once I returned home everything was good and as we left it and even Benji waited at the door expecting Son to come back and play with him with his favorite Avocado toy and walkies.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly consider them part of the family. I currently have three family pit bulls and one French bulldog, so I’m very comfortable caring for both large, high-energy dogs and smaller breeds with different needs and personalities. I genuinely love spending time with pets—whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and affection. I’m also very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to care. One of my own dogs has a special diet, so I understand how important it is to stay on top of feeding routines, dietary restrictions, and overall health needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me great flexibility for pet care. About half the week I work from home, so I’m available for walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’ll primarily be scheduling dog walks during my work-from-home days and on weekends, when I have more time to give your pet my full attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and always make sure pets stick to their usual routines. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment for every pet in my care—whether in my home or my client’s home. My apartment complex has a private dog park where dogs can enjoy space to run and play individually, so they’re not overwhelmed or interacting with unfamiliar dogs. I’m happy to tailor activity to each dog’s needs, whether that’s long walks at nearby parks, shorter neighborhood walks, or more relaxed playtime. I always prioritize safety, so pets will not be around other dogs while in my care unless otherwise requested. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: While most of my pet care comes from three years as a cat owner, I naturally connect with dogs. From friendly neighborhood greetings to playtime energy, I bring patience, warmth, and dependable care for every furry friend. I volunteer part-time a few days a week, but I always make time for pets! I’m flexible, reliable, and ready to give your furry friends the love and care they need. When caring for pets, safety and comfort come first. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention, walks, and playtime, and keep a calm, loving environment. I treat every pet like family.

About: I grew up surrounded by any kind of animals. My family and friends always trust me their babies because I have so much love to give them! I’m a college student during the week. My best times would be weekends (Friday-Sunday) but I am open to chat if you need me at other times. I love animals very much so their safety is always first to me. I will not only make sure the furry ones are safe, but I will also engage and play with them so they don’t feel alone.

“We had a wonderful experience with Yifei as our cat sitter. She took great care of cleaning the litter box, checking and refilling food, changing the water, and spending plenty of time playing with our cat. Our cat clearly loved her and felt very comfortable around her. She also uploaded photos regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. Communication was smooth and easy throughout. We’re extremely satisfied and would absolutely book her again in the future.”

About: Experienced WFH caregivers, always home, attentive, and responsive. 🐾 We care for your dog together, and your dog is never left alone here. Over 10 years, we've fostered 20+ dogs, welcomed shy rescues who needed time to warm up, and managed daily medication for seniors. We adjust to your dog's pace, not the other way around. Expect leisure walks, real playtime, and a calm home with two easygoing resident dogs and two cats who help new guests settle in fast. Daily photo and video updates come standard, and more anytime you ask. We recommend a Meet & Greet first so your dog can get comfortable and you can ask us anything. Because we work remotely, your dog gets company all day. Frequent potty breaks, walks, and playtime/mental stimulation games happen naturally throughout the day since we're always home to supervise. We're two minutes from grassy fields and walking paths, so outdoor time is easy and frequent. The routine stays structured yet flexible, tailored to each dog's energy level and normal habits. Available on weekdays, weekends, and for extended stays, with last-minute bookings supported whenever possible. Your dog's safety and comfort come first. Our home stays clean, calm, and supervised; dogs are never left unattended, and we introduce pets thoughtfully to keep the environment peaceful. We spot clean any mess right away with pet safe products, on top of routine cleaning and mopping, so the space stays fresh and safe between walks and playtime. Crate available if requested, though most dogs relax freely indoors with cozy resting spots of their own. You'll get daily photo and video updates, plus more anytime you ask, so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing. We recommend a Meet & Greet before booking to make sure it's a great fit for everyone.

About: I currently have 3 medium to large dogs so I'm great with managing several dogs at a time. Two are elderly, which have helped me develop confidence in caring for senior dogs including those with reduced mobility, joint diseases like osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and degenerative myelopathy. Dogs have been a big part of my life since I was a pre-teen so I'm happy to take care of your member(s) of the family! I recently moved to the area and am working part time so I have a lot of flexibility in hours! Weekdays are preferred with mornings and afternoons open to walking or dropping in on your pet or pets. Weekday evenings are available except for 3:30 till 5:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When walking or dropping in for a visit on your dog, I will happily follow any instructions you may have for your pet. I feel confident administering medications if needed by your pet. From caring for my own dogs, I know that settling in after a walk can be just important as the exercise they get! I'd love to help in whatever ways will ease your mind about your dog being comfortable at home. Because of my own dogs, I always have poop bags too!

Ni is a gem! She cared for our two cats while we were away for several weeks and I am very grateful for her care and attention. Our boy is shy but once he gets going, very playful, and she quickly put him at ease and played with him extensively during her visits, and he was clearly eager and excited for her visits. Our other usually hides the whole time anyone new is in the house, but Ni was calm and kitty-boundary-respecting, which set her at ease so that she was even coming out at Ni's visits and engaging. Ni gave great updates and I felt very reassured at all times. My highest recommendation and gratitude!

We had such a great experience with Christina! She was able to accommodate our last minute request, which we really appreciated, and took amazing care of both of our cats. One of our cats needs oral medication and she handled everything so well. Both cats warmed up to her right away, which honestly surprised us because one of them usually takes a while to trust new people! Her visit updates were super detailed and we loved getting all the cute photos and videos of our cats. She even sent pictures of their clean litter boxes and food bowls, which we really appreciated because it showed us that everything was taken care of. She was very thorough and kept us updated on how everything was going, so we never had to worry while we were away. It's not easy finding someone you feel comfortable leaving your pets with, especially when one needs medication, but we felt completely at ease with her. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and attentive pet sitter!
