“Amanda has been excellent. She is super responsive and was a great sitter for our precious fur babies! Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use her again.”

“The best! Soli watched my dogs 2 out of the last 3 weeks and I couldn’t be happier. The best sitter and she treats my dogs like her own. Cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Arshneel did a terrific job looking after our pup while my partner and I were traveling. She was communicative, responsible, and most importantly took excellent care of our boy. She also left our apartment spotless! I can't imagine a better experience.”

“Cora and Joe were so great with our two dogs while we were away for 6 nights. They are very good communicators and sent us pics of our girls daily. Our house was cleaner than we left it when we got home and I could tell our girls were happy while we were gone! We will definitely book with Cora and Joe again!”

“We're so grateful to Melissa for taking such good care of our wonderful but neurotic dog Birdie! Melissa is communicative, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. We would have her to sit for Birdie again anytime.”

About: I have years of experience caring for friends’ cats and dogs—from pups to elderly animals! I love spending time with animals and getting to know them. I’m available for afternoon and evening walks or drop-in visits. I work in the neighborhood, and love the chance to play with a pet, get some fresh air and help meet their needs. I have a calm presence and know lots of great places to walk pups in my neighborhood. I’m also thorough and detail-oriented and will treat your home with care.
“Anastasia was great with Willow for the week that I was gone! She was accommodating to my requests for updates and check-ins. She went above and beyond and showed the next sitter around my place before leaving. Thank you Anastasia!!”

“Alicia was absolutely amazing with our pup! She was super communicative, on time, and sent so many pictures and detailed updates multiple times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We haven’t left our dog with someone new in a long time, so we were naturally a little nervous, but we felt completely secure knowing our pup was in her care. It made such a difference to see how happy and well cared for our dog was. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jennie is a great dog sitter, 5 stars for sure! We were very happy with every aspect of her services: Jennie sent us updates throughout the day and took care of our dog as if he was her own. Jennie was staying in our apartment, so she took good care of the apartment too, we appreciated it too. We recommend her to others and would definitely use her services again.”

“Eryn was incredible. She was wonderful with our shy little doggy and even helped us learn to recognize when Lulu needs to go to the bathroom! We've rebooked Eryn again and will continue to work with her. Plus, the doggy photos she sends are priceless.”


“Sky is amazing! She was so attentive to all of our doggo’s needs and very communicative throughout our time away. We loved getting multiple photo and video updates. Without a question would book with her again! I know our furry family member is counting down the days until Skylar’s next visit.”

“Cathy is the best. This is the second time she has taken care of my dog. She communicates frequently and responds quickly. She has stayed over at my house and is completely trustworthy. She goes above and beyond. Will definitely continue to use her services. Thanks, Cathy!”
“Andrew was an incredible rover- very responsive, responsible and treated our dog with genuine care. We are so grateful for him watching our dog and would highly recommend him to any pet parent!”

“Haowen was SUPER! He connected immediately with my dog Jordan, and she had a great time with him for the week. And he sent me great photos of them daily on their walks. He really is a wonderful photographer!! Would definitely work with him again.”

“Masiel did amazing with Saint! She kept Saint entertained and kept me updated throughout my trip. She also cleaned up a bit before leaving which she did not have to at all. Overall, Masiel was great and I will book her for future dates. Thank you so much, Masiel💗”

“Eric was very accommodating and did a great job sitting my pup, who is a larger and more powerful animal. Eric left our apartment in great condition and I felt at ease while I was away. I highly recommend him and would definitely use his services again.”

“Most important first: A pet in Brendan's care is a pet you can trust is truly cared for and loved. We found Brendan on rover and reached out to see if he would be open to looking after our two dogs for a few days as we had to leave town. Brendan took the time to meet with us and get a general feel for everything first. It was an immediate hit and we felt so happy & relieved there was someone we could entrust our dogs with. Merlin & Percy loved having Brendan around; he's such a joy they might not have even missed us! On top of being wonderful with the dogs he did an amazing job of keeping in contact with us while we were away. He is extremely kind and accommodating.”

Masi took great care of Chewie at our apartment while we were gone for a weekend. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos. Chewie is older with some health problems, and we felt like she was in great hands. As a bonus, Masi left our place very clean. She clearly loves dogs and we will happily book with her again!

Thanks so much for caring for the little guy! Your observation that his incontinence happened mostly when he was excited/just before a walk was very helpful to his vet. Appreciate you coming through and I was so happy when he saw you and started jumping around the lobby. Hope he wasn't too much trouble, and again, thanks for taking such good care of Pedrito!

Kate was a great sitter who took care of my senior (19) kitty with special needs requiring daily medication and lots of attention, as well as my four backyard chickens! She left the house clean and even washed the sheets she slept on. She was very responsive and communicative with me throughout the whole four day house sitting visit. I would recommend her as your next sitter.

Sam was very responsible with our Mabel during her dog sitting stay. She sent us updates each day to let us know how she was doing, and to keep us in the know. Mabel had gotten a little sick while Sam was with her and she let us know the next morning after taking good care of her and tracking what happened throughout the day. Definitely a trustworthy sitter and we look forward to working with her again!

Kora watched my dog for a week and a half and was very communicative and respectful of my home. I got lots of pictures and was not afraid to reach out to ask me questions if she was unsure about anything. I felt very comfortable having her watch my dog, even with this being a longer stay.

Alicia was absolutely fantastic and outstanding! She took the time to meet Doxy and Sammie and was very comprehensive in reviewing all their routine needs and habits. She bonded very well with our dogs and sent us photos that made us smile, being reassured that they were in great hands. When I returned home, the dogs were very relaxed and happy. We are so thankful and appreciative to have Alicia’s help with dog sitting and highly recommend her without any reservations. She is truly the best! Thank you so much, Alicia, for taking great care of Doxy and Sammie!

Willow was EXCEPTIONAL in every way to work with as a dog sitter for our 2 year old Bijon Frise Charlie! Her wonderful communication with us, professionalism, attention to detail, and overall friendliness put us at ease every moment we were away. Willow also took wonderful care of Charlie. She asked us all the right and specific questions ahead of time to ensure he was cared for exactly as we wanted. She followed all our instructions meticulously, checked in and gave us updates, and made sure Charlie had everything he needed - walks, rest time, his food, snuggles, playtime, etc. We used Willow during a very important trip for my son's college graduation and she gave us 100% peace of mind to be able to enjoy the event and know Charlie was in the best hands. I cannot recommend her enough if you need a walker or sitter daytime, overnights, etc. You and your pup will be lucky to have Willow!
