“Paulina was amazing! One of our dogs was 2 weeks after cataract surgery with complications for a corneal ulcer so he required 3 rounds of midday eye drops. It was hard nerve-wracking to trust someone in his care but I felt comfortable and fully trusted Paulina after our meet and greet. She took the instructions very seriously, asked great questions, and she communicated her comfort with being able to take care of his medical needs. The dogs loved her and we're so grateful to find someone who we could trust during this particularly demanding dog care time! We'd love to work with Paulina again!”
“Lizz was great! She was very reliable and very professional. You can tell right away that she really has a love of animals. She was very responsible with regards to the instructions we left for our dog Buster. Definitely looking forward to hiring her again soon.”
“It's been so hot so I can't take my dog with me everywhere I go. Kat kindly accepted my last minute request for a drop-in visit to give my dog a pee break. My shy dog took to Kat right away. Thank you for your help!”
“Azure is absolutely amazing. Our kitties love her, and we feel safe with her caring for them while we are gone. Her updates, pictures, and all recommendations are excellent. We plan to hire her always in the future.”
“Tricia should get 6/5 stars. Aside from cat-care, Tricia is just a lovely person. Very attentive and quickly built trust with our cat to administer meds smoothly. Treated our cat like one of their own and always left detailed notes after each visit. We will 100% ask Tricia to watch our little guy in the future.”
“Camille took good care of my two cats and kept up excellent communication even working thru a small snafu with the system. Very professional care - thanks Camille!”
“I hired Natalie for seven visits to attend to my cat while I was gone for a long weekend. She was on time for each visits and sent me photographs of my cat Grey Cloud when she completed a half hour with him. He was fed and his litter box scooped as I instructed. This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and it was well worth it.”
“Meghan was very responsive and communicated plenty throughout the time we were out of town. Gave our cat lots of love and took the time to really get to know her. Would love to have Meghan watch our cat in the future!”
“Katherine was great! She went above and beyond keeping my kitties comfortable while I was away. Very punctual, detail-oriented, and the level of communication was excellent.”
“Thank you again for taking care of Pai and Hui during the weekend! I really love that you send their pictures every time you gave them a visit so I knew they’re happy and doing okay!”
“Anna was terrific. I had just moved to a new town, where I didn't know anybody, a few days before when I had to leave suddenly for a family emergency. I needed to be gone for at least a week. My cats hadn't even had time to adjust after the move. Anna accepted a last minute request, and remained flexible as plans changed in the unsettled situation I faced. Her updates were thorough, and a break from the stressful situation I faced. My cats grew to love her, and I returned to three very happy and well adjusted cats.”
“Stone was terrific!! The dogs immediately loved her from the first time they met her. We never worried about them in her care. She even took them for walks! She went above and beyond. We will definitely have her back again!”
“It’s been great having Maddy come by to give my two girls a pee-break, treats and some attention in the middle of my workday. She send great pictures and rundowns of her visit. I will definitely be booking her again :)”
“Deanna was great with my cat Henry! I loved her photos and appreciated the many updates while I was away. I could tell she really cared for him and I was glad to have someone so compassionate checking up on him. Plus Henry definitely liked her too! This was my first time using Rover and I’d strongly recommend Deanna and hope to use her again for future travel!”
“We’re so lucky to have found Milena in our neighborhood! She came in and got our dog out of the crate and play for a while when we are skiing. We also had a meet and greet because she’ll be house sitting for us, and it is clear that our dog adores her and vice versa. Highly recommend 🫶”
About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.
About: I have about three years of experience with professional pet care. I have also grown up taking care of multiple cats and dogs in my home, as well as cats and dogs of friends and family. My availability is very open for pet care at the moment. I am happy to talk more about scheduling for dog walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting! I have experience walking my 130 pound mastiff and am comfortable with all types of dogs, as I have fostered many breeds. I am happy to take your dog to the park if they are social or stick to a nice solo walk. I also absolutely adore cats and have had them/taken care of them for my whole life.

Jön O.
“Jön has always been a lover of animals and a responsible caretaker for them. From a young age he took responsibility for training and caring for our family's dog. As an adult, I've trusted him to care for my cats many times, and he has gone above and beyond to feed, groom, and play with them while I'm away. If my cats could type, they would share that they're always thrilled to see him and would recommend his services to any animal in need.”
Lily B.
“Lily is an outstanding dog sitter. Our dog loves her and is always excited to see her. Lily took our dog on walks and outings and was good at sharing photos while we were away.”
