He was super excited and happy to see her when she visited, which was evident from the many great pics she sent us. Danielle is very kind, professional and a great communicator. We hope to be able to work with her again, our kitty will be so happy to see her!”
“Qinyun was wonderful—pleasant, attentive, and very respectful of both my cat and my home. She checked in on Maxine for two weeks, wrote thoughtful Rover cards, and interacted so well with her. I’m truly grateful for her care and will definitely book again and recommend her to others!”

“Guilherme was great with our two cats, one of which needed daily liquid medication. We got prompt and frequent updates and pictures throughout the visits. Would easily recommend!”
“Anna took great care of our cats while we were on a vacation. She was great at communicating with us, and anticipating the cats’ needs. And she was able to make a great connection with our very shy cats! We would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“Caroline is amazing! She was able to fill in for an emergency sitting request and take care of my boys. They love her, and she takes great care of them, and provides great updates and pictures throughout. I fully recommend her!”
“I recently hired Alison to look after my cat, Mila, and I couldn't be happier with the service. From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and genuinely caring about my pet's well-being. During our initial meeting, Alison took the time to get to know Mila and understand her routines and preferences. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Alison to anyone in need of a reliable and loving cat sitter. I will definitely be booking her again in the future! Thank you, Alison! P.S. Mila misses her play dates already. 😄”

“Yee-Ping is great!! It's my first time using Rover and it went really smoothly thanks to Yee-Ping. My pets are usually shy with strangers but Yee-Ping was able to make them feel comfortable. We received tons of photos from her and seemed like they had a great time together. We will definitely book with Yee-Ping again in the future!”

About: I am the go-to dog sitter for all my friends and family. For a couple hours, a day, or a week; I am a trustworthy caretaker for all loved animals. I love being outdoors and staying active, so taking care of pets fits perfectly into my daily routine. I currently work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive care throughout the day—whether it's for walks, check-ins, or just keeping your pet company. Spending time with animals adds joy and balance to my week! I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that means scheduled walks, playtime, meals, or just quiet companionship. I am able to tailor to each individual to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away.

About: Are you looking for a super safe, happy place for your fur baby? Then you are in the right place :) My husband Anthony, our one-year-old Aussie Lily and I are a super active, outdoorsy family and we love to have other dogs become a temporary member of our family as often as we can. What's special about us is that we only accept one dog at a time because we want your doggy to receive all the care and attention it deserves. We always make sure Lily and her new best friend get regular meals and of course a lot of play time. Because there's nothing better than a happy, tail wagging dog, is there? Lily is a super friendly dog who loves having new friends over (yay, a new buddy to play with!). We have availability pretty much anytime we don't have to go into the office, and also accept dogs for extended amounts of time occasionally. We live in a very clean, welcoming, pet proof house with a fenced yard and a doggie door. Unless it is very cold we usually leave the sliding door open so the dogs can go in and out whenever they want. Usually, we allow dogs to sit on our furniture but if you prefer otherwise please let us know and we are more than happy to make accommodations.
