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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
