“Ariana took great care of my senior dog Chester, who has some special health issues. She is very caring, thoughtful, and a good communicator. I would not hesitate to have Ariana care for Chester again!”
“Shelly was a great choice! Every specific care task was completed. Last minute, one of my cats needed medication and she gladly took care of that as well. Shelly was punctual, communicated great, and helpful. One of my cats is super shy, but eventually opened up with Shelly (which is a good sign.) My cats were clearly happy and very-cared for. She provided up to date info after each visit and included cute photos of the two cats :) She definitely provided a sense of comfort and assurance while we were away. I would definitely recommend Shelly to other pet owners.”
About: I am a psychology student with years of dog-sitting experience. I’m calm, communicative, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and cared for every visit! I have a very flexible class schedule, especially Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays. Weekends are completely open! I’m able to plan walks and drop ins before, between, and after my classes. I’m also comfortable with overnight house sitting and can adjust my mornings as needed to match your pet’s routine. I am very respectful of routines and house rules. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, and I always keep the space clean and tidy. I always make sure your home is left exactly as you found it, if not, better! My goal is to create a calm and safe environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Dylan was great with my dog Bo. He encouraged my old lazy dog to get out for potty breaks on our drop in visits. He’s detail-oriented and clearly cares about animals. We will absolutely use him again.”
“Shawna K. took excellent, attentive care of our cats, and kept us well-informed with reports and photos. One of our cats tends to sneeze-we’re so used to it we forgot to mention it-and Shawna picked up on that and reported it to us. She took time to play with them and managed well with our new cat (who’s not quite integrated yet). When we got home, we found happy cats!”
“Nasrin was very responsive and able to adapt things for us. We did a comprehensive meet and greet and she was professional and friendly. Would definitely have her watch our kitty again!”
“Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!”
“Suz went above and beyond caring for Luna and Zozo. It was such a relief knowing they were safe and taken care of by someone who loves animals just as much as I do. She even was okay with a last minute plan change which is so deeply appreciate. Highly recommend!”
“Jacob is amazing and goes above and beyond. I cannot recommend highly enough. Mabel and Finn love seeing Jacob. He genuinely loves the animals he looks after, and we feel so grateful to have found him!”
“Sam was wonderful caring for our two babies - Lil cat & benji; they were responsive, informative & professional. I felt confident leaving my babies with them. They are a sweetheart!! Thank you sam can’t wait for our next vacation :D haha”
“I had such a great experience with Qianwen watching my cat. She was incredibly thorough and caring the entire time. She always showed up on time, kept everything clean, made sure he was fed and comfortable, and genuinely treated him like he was her own cat. She also sent so many pictures and videos, which honestly gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my cat was really well taken care of and getting lots of attention. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, thoughtful, and reliable to care for their pets :)”
“Erin is very nice, helpful, responsive, and easy to communicate with. My cat Eevee loves her and got comfortable around her so quickly—it amazed me. I can definitely tell that Eevee had a great time.”
“Joleen was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my two cats while away on a trip, was able to give my diabetic cat his insulin, and treated them like her own. I was extremely happy with the status updates and never had to worry about anything. If you need a reliable pet sitter who will give your pets the best treatment, look no further!”
“Booked Son again for my 80 pound pit-bull. 5 stars as always, he is very accommodating, punctual, and takes care of your pets as if they are his own. My dog Maru loves him!”
“Sarah was wonderful to all of our kitties, and treated them all with kindness and gave them all the love they needed to soothe their anxieties. We even had a last minute change to the care instructions to one of our cats, and she was extremely understanding and accommodating. Thank you Sarah!”
About: Growing up around all kinds of feather and furry friends, caring for animals has always felt second nature to me. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, poultry, goats, rabbits, pigs, and even reptiles. Whether it's a gentle morning feeding, a peaceful walk, or some down-to-earth cuddle time, I make sure your animals feel safe, understood, and right at home. I pride myself on being patient, calm, and observant, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm, as my family has daily ranch duties. Mornings start with feedings and check-ins, afternoons are flexible for visits, and evenings wind down with quiet time, walks, and last rounds. Your pets become part of the natural flow of my week. In clients' homes, I maintain your pet's routine with consistency and care. I provide scheduled feedings, exercise, enrichment, medication if needed, and a clean environment. I respect your space, follow all instructions, and communicate throughout visits with photos and updates.
About: I was raised with cats and dogs ever since I was a little kid. I can’t recall a time in my life where there wasn’t a furry friend around. Many of my pets I’ve had since they were babies until old age, so I have experience with animals of all age groups as well as breeds as small as chihuahuas to large Siberian huskies. I also have experience giving medications from my time watching a cavapoo with heart and lung issues. I’ve been off work the past 4 months because I recently had a baby girl and she loves our pets at home, but I want to get us out of the house more and what better way to do that than meeting new furry friends! I’m very respectful of peoples spaces and routines and always leave a space exactly as it was. I am willing and able to do whatever needs to be done to ensure the best care I am capable of providing

Quynh was absolutely wonderful with my pets! She is attentive, caring, and genuinely treats them as if they were her own. She followed all of my instructions carefully and made sure my pets were comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she paid close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. I truly appreciated her reliability, professionalism, and the love she showed my pets. Knowing they were in such capable and compassionate hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with Quynh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my furry family members! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is my second time working with Anke and she was just as fantastic as the first time! She gives you detailed reports of her care of your pets, follows the instructions you leave, and sends lots of pictures and videos. She is friendly and flexible. I would definitely work with her again the next time I need pet care.
Ni is, without a doubt, the most responsible Rover sitter we have ever had. Not only did she carefully follow all of our instructions, but she consistently went above and beyond by spending extra time playing with and cuddling our cat, Lottery. Every visit came with detailed updates, lots of photos and videos, and she even kept an eye out for things around the house that we might not have thought to check ourselves. Honestly, I think Lottery now loves Ni more than anyone besides me and my husband! Cats are the best judges of character, and Lottery’s affection is the clearest proof of how well Ni cared for him. She made him feel comfortable, happy, and loved, which in turn gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We feel so lucky to have found Ni, and we honestly can’t imagine a better person to care for Lottery when we’re away. Thank you, Ni—you are absolutely amazing! ❤️🐱
I’ve had Sora take care of my senior cat multiple times already while Im away and feel confident that I’m leaving my cat in good hands. My cat needs to be given several medications and Sora is able to handle that with no issues. She also updates me regularly. Will definitely rebook in the future.
We were extremely happy with Yifei’s care. We entrusted our 16-year-old cat to her for five days. Due to our cat’s health condition, he needed liquid gabapentin administered by syringe into his mouth, and she handled this responsibility wonderfully. When we returned home from our trip, it was clear that everything had been done exactly as we had requested, and our cat was calm, comfortable, and happy. Normally, after we come back from a vacation, he is stressed and has usually lost some weight. This time, however, he was relaxed, content, and had maintained his weight perfectly. It was obvious that he had a great time with his sitter. In fact, before we arrived home, I checked the camera and saw him waiting by the door, most likely expecting her to come. We would absolutely love to work with her again. If you’re reading this review, don’t hesitate for a second—reach out to her directly. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Thank you so much
Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my cats! I was impressed with her professionalism and her immediate affinity for the cats during our pre-visit, and could tell that both cats really enjoyed their playtime with her. I felt like my cats were in great hands, and would definitely contact her again if the need arises.
Elsa continues to take such good care of my cats Ricky & Lucy. She uses good judgment, anticipating issues and problems. This last time, as the electricity had been off in the area, Elsa anticipated that the water fountain may not work, and left a bowl of additional water for Ricky & Lucy. I love the daily pictures with her engaging with both cats. They don’t even miss me!
Lauren has always been such an amazing reliable sitter and we are so grateful to have found her. Both of our cats loved her instantly and we know they are fully safe in her care! We don’t even like to leave town unless we know that we can book with her- luckily she’s always been available for us even on late notice.
