“Kim is very friendly, courteous and polite. My dogs immediately took a liking to Kim and showed her how comfortable they were with her while holding them in her arms. As soon as my dogs were placed on Kim's lap, they stopped barking (usually a constant barkers) and became calm. Kim's secure, loving affection she conveys has a valuable impact to my dogs' temperaments.”

“Paul did an amazing job with our reactive dog and our other two who are a bit of a handful. We’ve had so many issues with Rovers in the past and Paul eased our nerves so much.”

“Zichen was wonderful with my dog. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated throughout the stay and reached out immediately if anything came up. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was with my pup. It was clear she took great care of my baby, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Overall, she did a great job, and I would happily book with her again.”

“So responsive, flexible, and willing to take the extra step! My cat last minute needed medication for a UTI and Claire was happy to give her the additional medication she needed with no problems! My cat loved playing with her and she sent great photos”

“Taylor has filled in for my usual dog walker several times now. She responds to messages/requests very quickly, takes great care of my (extremely) high-energy pup, and always sends pictures and updates from her visits. She’s been a perfect addition to Nox’s team and we will continue to book with her when needed!”

“Blake is a wonderful caretaker! She gets great photos of my cat! She is flexible and reliable, and a great communicator. Makes it easy for me to relax when I am away from my kitty.”

“Brian took great care of our two cats. We really appreciated the photos and updates he sent with each visit. He went above and beyond to engage our cats and keep our home clean and safe for them.”

About: I grew up with lots of dogs and will treat your pet like family:) I love being outside and would be so happy to take your doggo on nice, relaxed walks or fun little adventures — whatever fits their vibe! Whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your furry friend would be treated with love, with lots of attention, belly rubs, and genuine care. Happy to send photos and check ins when your pet is with me :) I have a pretty flexible position, so I am able to go take care of pets during lunch or as needed. Weekends are very flexible and would love to spend some quality time with your pet! When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make it a priority to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding and medications to preferred walking routes and house rules. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
“Bell is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog - drop-in visits and walks. She went above and beyond to communicate and assure us that our dog was well taken care of. We immediately felt comfortable with Bell because of her kind and calm demeanor and our dog fell in love with her.”

“Kristin did a great job with my cat and handled the somewhat complicated instructions for getting into my apartment building perfectly! I appreciated her flexibility in accommodating timing needs as well.”

“Sofia was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. It was clear that all of my animals loved her, including two of my more skittish and shy pets. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Alexis was amazing with my 16 year old very picky cat. She was so calm and patient with her that Chloe warmed up within a couple of days which never happens when I’m away! Would definitely book with Alexis again!”

“Joy was a great sitter for my cat! She was very friendly during our meet and greet and took great care of Abel while I was gone! She took tons of photos and it looks like Abel had a fun time with her.”

“I went away for a week and Kyle and Jessica took amazing care if my Belle. They sent photos and updates after each visit (3 per day). I felt so at ease that they were taking great care of her and she was happy . I would highly recommend Kyle and Jessica !!”

“Alex took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a long weekend. One of my cats requires medication twice daily, and Alex delivered it seamlessly, followed instructions, and even provided my cat her inhaler when she showed that she needed it. He also took great care of my home by keeping it tidy and retrieving mail/packages. My favorite part was the wonderful photos and updates provided for each visit. I’d definitely recommend Alex as a great sitter!”

“Amy did an amazing job and was very good and quick with communication, she showed up on time at both bookings and was patient with my little buddy later which is needed because he can be a wild child lol thank you so much for picking this task last minute and working with me!”

“Emma was great! She stayed longer than she was scheduled for to make sure my pups had eaten and pottied. She sent updates after each visit and sent pictures. Thanks for taking such good care of my puppers❤️❤️”

Sia has been an incredible sitter - from her flexibility to her kindness and love for animals, I genuinely feel I’ve found such a special and loving sitter for my little baby. She take such great photos and will adapt to your instructions no matter how specific! Thank you for giving me peace of mind during my trip and for being so responsive and loving to my fur baby. I will absolutely rebook for future trips!

Zichen did a phenomenal job! My cat loves her. He is usually a shy baby but she worked her magic and got him to play with her on their second time meeting. I adore her so much as she communicated really well on everything and took care of Orange like he was her own. Absolutely would have Zichen cat sit my cat again!
Jade was a phenomenal sitter for my kitty! She was communicative and always available, and she went above and beyond with her care. She cleaned up an unusual accident my kitty had, and even brought Amazon packages in for me. I truly hope she’s available when I need her next because I will definitely be using her again! Highly highly recommend!
