“Alisa, I can’t thank you enough for the loving care you gave Georgette while I was away. I was delighted to receive the photo updates along with texts letting me know what was happening. It was fun to show the great pictures you took of Georgette to my friends that I was visiting. Actually I will always treasure the exceptional photos. Knowing that she was so well cared for allowed me to really relax and not worry about her. You are an amazing sitter and I would highly recommend your services to anyone!”

“Lauren was amazing with Milo! He just moved to the city and is still pretty nervous to go on walks, but she took extra time to sit with him and make him comfortable before taking him out. She was attentive to Milo’s needs, responsive to my texts, and sent frequent updates and pictures. I would absolutely hire Lauren in a heartbeat to take care of Milo again. Highly recommend!!”

“Hannah is the absolute best! She took the greatest care of our pup and gave her all the space and patience she needs around new people. We had Hannah do a few meet and greets with our dog before staying over for a few night, and each time she was extremely punctual, patient, and interested to soak up everything she could to make sure our dog would be comfortable and happy. Hannah also took the I utmost care of our home, which we appreciated so much!”

He was fantastic, always keeping me updated with the latest, and was both flexible and patient with my dog’s somewhat high-maintenance separation anxiety. He even won my cat over!”

“Razan was a great help when we needed to book a sitter pretty last minute. She came over for a meet and greet and was really thorough in her questioning and communication as it related to Hugo. While Hugo was in her care I felt very in the know of how things were going and knew he was safe! She kept our space very clean and was a great guest and sitter to have.”

“Mary took wonderful care of my dog Winston (and my apartment too) while I was away on vacation for four nights. I felt totally at ease leaving him with her even though it was his first time staying with Mary. She is super friendly and straightforward so it was very easy to communicate, especially over text messaging. She asked important questions in preparation that made me feel like she knew what she was doing and was taking care of my dog's particular needs. I really appreciated the daily text updates and pictures of my dog that she sent. She was also very helpful with my all-white dog's tear stains on his face--by the time I returned it looked like he had had a serious grooming session and the stains were almost gone! I will definitely ask Mary to watch Winston next time I am away and would recommend her to any of my friends.”

About: I've lived with dogs since I was born and have taken care of them for the vast majority of my life. My family, friends, neighbors, and more have relied on me to take care of their pets countless times over the years, and I am always eager and happy to do so! From puppies to seniors, 10 lbs to 100 lbs, sleepy to hyper, I have done it all, and will care for your dog as my own :) I have an extremely strong understanding of dog body language and understand when they want their space, want to play, or just want to hang out together. I am seeking to do Rover full-time, so I am highly available with an extremely flexible schedule. Almost any request that isn't required to be very early morning will be easy for me to schedule and take care of. I understand dogs almost as well or even better than I understand people; their body language, their needs, and their moods are like second nature to me. I will take them on walks, feed them, give them medicine, play with them, take them to dog parks, or anything I am capable of to make your dog's experience as wonderful as possible. I have owned a cat since 2020 and have cat-sat for my friends more times than I can count. I am extremely communicative and eager to meet yours and your pet's needs!

“Gail is amazing!!! They were kindred spirits with Darcy immediately. Darcy is a reincarnated empress who is picky about whom she connects with, and she instantly took to Gail's caring, patient, playful and catlike energy. In addition, Gail was very personable and incredibly communicative, sending us regular pictures and detailed updates, and paid a lot of attention to every detail of how Darcy was doing. On top of it all, they were an excellent houseguest. We couldn't have been happier with Gail's house-sitting and cat-care expertise, and would most certainly work with them again on a regular basis. Highly recommend!!”

Soo Min has been absolutely amazing with my 4-month-old teething puppy. Anyone who has handled a young puppy knows how intense this stage can be- crate tantrums, zoomies, nonstop chewing. She handled it all with so much patience and calm. Her communication was seamless from start to finish. She sent updates and the photos of my pup throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and understood how to manage his energy and needs. She is kind, reliable, and attentive. I truly felt like my puppy was safe, understood, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible and compassionate!

Stephanie was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Maggie. Maggie can take a little while to warm up to new people, but she felt comfortable with Stephanie much more quickly than we expected which says a lot. Stephanie was incredibly communicative throughout, sending thoughtful updates and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear Maggie was well cared for and genuinely comfortable in her company. She also left our home spotless. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave Maggie and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Kateryna stayed in our apartment for a week to take care of our corgi, Donut, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Donut can be shy with new people and has a bit of separation anxiety, but Kateryna was absolutely wonderful with her. She was super patient and truly cared about making Donut feel comfortable and safe. Kateryna’s communication was excellent — we received regular updates, photos, and videos, which we enjoyed so much while we were away. On top of that, she left our home super neat and tidy. We will definitely be rebooking Kateryna again!

We really appreciate the regular updates and photos she sends as they give us such peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear she’s attentive and truly cares about our cats’ well-being. We always feel comfortable knowing our cat is in such good hands and we’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future!
