“Nicole did such a great with my cat Lalo! Despite being a shy cat, he warmed up to her. Nicole is also very responsive and accommodating to my schedule. Overall, would recommend Nicole to take care of anyone’s cat!”
“Natsha was so kind and took wonderful care of my cat! It was my first time using Rover for catsitting, but Natsha made it a very comfortable experience for my cat and gave me lots of peace of mind! She spent a lot of time with him everyday that I was gone and I’m very happy with her petsitting!”
“Carol has taken great care of my cat Lucy multiple times now. She always sends detailed updates and pictures, and Lucy is always in good spirits when I return!”
“Sarah is fantastic—responsive, flexible when some of my plans changed at the last minute, and so sweet with my cat. Can’t wait to rebook with her!”
“Great communication and care of my pup! Love getting photos!”
“Mengdongxue gave my cat her wet food, provided attention with scratches and pets, and cleaned her litter box while I was away. Mengdongxue sent daily photos of my cat excited for M’s arrival and enjoying her scritches and belly rubs in all her cuteness, which really put my mind at ease. Mengdongxue will win your pets love as she really cares about animals, is enthusiastic, helpful and communicative. I would highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet!”
“Melissa did a really good job taking care of my cat during the holiday week. She even offered to clean up the litter that my cat kicked everywhere which was much appreciated!”
“Raimy was very kind and sweet to my two dogs on our meet and greet. She seemed to build good rapport with both my dogs, even my shy dog, Teddy. I look forward to using her for future house sitting needs.”

“Isabel was very communicative and sent lots of pictures playing with Baxter!!”

“Julia did a great job of taking care of my dog Louis. My house and the yard were in perfect condition when I returned. Julia provided lots of updates and even cleaned up Louis's food and water station. Will be rebooking Julia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a walker or sitter.”
“Sabina was great with my doggies! Looking forward to asking her to spend some time with them again soon.”
“We are truly grateful to Shupeng for taking care of our dog. He was incredibly attentive and patient, making sure everything was spotless while also giving our pup plenty of love and attention. Not only did he clean up thoroughly, but he also took the time to play with our dog, which means so much to us. His kindness and dedication really put our minds at ease. We highly recommend Shupeng to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
“So appreciative of Frances. Great communication. Will definitely request again.”
“Garrett is hands down the best person to trust with your pet. We left our 7 year old, lively & sociable shepherd mix alone for the first time when we went to Portugal for 10 days. This was the first time Buster had been left with anyone outside the family, and to say I was nervous was an understatement. Garrett went above and beyond, sending messages with pictures and a brief check in, reassuring us that Buster was fine - the pictures gave us real evidence that he was indeed a happy camper, and honestly some of the photos made it seem like he was having a better time than if we’d been home! Haha, but in all seriousness, I would recommend Garrett 100% to anyone, and will definitively be going to him first whenever we need Buster care in the future. Thank you, Garrett!!!”
About: Besides a love for animals; I am committed to making sure you are always in the loop, and feel comfortable and at ease. Thank you! I am student so during the week from M-W I will be in class during the day but can commute. I plan to be around in the home more so on the weekends. I like to spend time with animals, so whether we are playing or just relaxing I want to be around them and make sure they are getting all the attention! :)
“Teddy responded to my last-minute call for help immediately and though it was only for a quick overnight, took great care of my elder cat. She got him to eat well, which isn't always easy and spent some quality time with him, letting him outside on a sunny day which he loves. I would definitely recommend Teddy and will be using her services again.”
About: Hi! My name is Jasie. I am working full-time in healthcare and from home (which gives me lots of flexibility)! Animals bring me so much joy and I love meeting new ones anywhere I go. I am coming back from a break from the app, as I had some years to spend with my roommate’s two lovely cats but they’ve now moved away and I’d love to make some new neighborhood friends! Right now I will focus my business on caring for cats. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats (meds, extra food prep). When you want to spend some time away from home and don’t want to leave your animals alone or even just want some time to yourself, I would love to take care of them! I work from home so have plenty of flexibility to care on dogs and cats, especially dogs when potty time is more needed than usual. I can play with them as I take breaks from work as well! I can crate a dog or cat if needed. I am very careful and like to make sure your pets are in my view from wherever I am most of the time. If I have to leave, I’ll make sure they can’t find trouble!
