“Wonderful to work with! Professional, responsive, and thorough. She was able to accommodate a last minute request from first time bookers (wife and myself) and helped us navigate the process. We had some complicated instructions for keys, and our cats and such and Phuong was patient and helpful throughout. We would absolutely work with her again!”
About: I’ve trained two puppies into adulthood. My very first dog is my Australian cattle dog, Goji, and my second dog is my Belgian Malinois, Koda. I know how challenging puppies. Goji was a reactive puppy but we worked through it together. I love caring for dogs and teaching them how to be the best version of themselves. I lead a super active lifestyle and if your fur baby loves a good hike, then I’m the sitter for you! I dedicate my evenings to my pups. Nothing is more important to me than their well-being and I’m very strict on sticking to their routine. My main focus in the evenings is spending quality time with my pets by getting them worked out and tired by either playing, long walks or taking them to the dog park to let out their energy. I like to reward dogs with treats and maintain my patience when we are hit with challenges. Nothing is more important to me than to make sure your dog receives the love and care they deserve, just as I would want for my pets.
“Kristi has been amazing with our kitties. She has adapted to changes with them, whether with meds or their arrangements/needs. She's always great about sending pictures and really went above and beyond for our last trip out of town. We're so grateful for her help!”
“Andrea did a wonderful job doing drop in visits for Kona! She took him on long walks, played with him, made sure his water was full, and left him very happy. We would ask her back any time!”
“Adela is really helpful and she did 200% of what I expected! My cat is usually shy but she definitely loves playing with Adela! We definitely recommend Adela and will need her service again in near future!”
“Keyla did great. Suki and Watson are happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond by sweeping up toward the end of the trip, which we very much appreciate. We highly recommend her for kitty care!”
About: As your dedicated pet sitter, I pride myself on my ability to adapt to your pet's needs, personality, and routine. That means being a patient yet quick learner that can give you the confidence that your companion is having the time of his life without any concerns. As a full-time college student, I am available for most of the weekdays although, currently, my Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends are the most open for frequent visits! I am quick to learn both yours and your pet's boundaries! Please let me know of any preferences/restrictions ahead of time and I'm confident I'll provide my best experience.
“Josephine was very attentive and my cat babies loved her. I will definitely book again.”
About: I have taken care of my own pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve also watched over the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I am currently working full-time, weekdays and weekends. Weekdays from 8am-5pm and weekends from 7am-6pm. This gives me plenty of time to take our furry friends on walks, parks, getting rest in there favorite spots or even just providing them with the necessary attention! I know how important it is to not only keep things clean and safe but also to build trust and connection. Making sure they’re not only fed and walked, but truly loved and emotionally cared for. I pay close attention to their needs and their health and we work on a routine based on what they like and what they dislike.

El Cerrito cat parents share their Rover experiences
Super thorough with our kitties, I really liked how she wanted to meet them first before dropping in while we were gone. Her updates were detailed, you can tell she puts effort and care into the drop ins and it made me feel better about being away from the kitties.
Beatrice is both very kind and thorough! I’d love to have her back to check in on my cats anytime. Thank you Beatrice!
Sheryl was great and flexible, and extraordinarily patient with challenging animals. Available when we needed her, including late at night. Very knowledgeable about this app as well.
Em is so caring and sweet with the cats. She always makes sure my fur babies have everything they need
This is now the third time that Adela and George have watched pur cats, and they do a perfect job every time! Our cats love them and we love getting detailed updates while we are gone.
Priscilla was attentive and communicative! She helped provide care for my kitties and my rabbit pretty last minute and I felt very comfortable after our meet and greet. She did not hesitate to reach out with any questions so she could provide the best care and sent plenty of photo updates. After her first few drop ins she clearly had a good system down! My pets were happy and healthy when I got home after a few days so I know they had a great time with her.
Leena took care of my two cats for about 2 weeks. I appreciate her prompt communication and reliability. Cats seemed to be well taken care of- the energetic one took a liking to her! Third time booking with Leena and would book again!
Amber is the best! She was very flexible about a couple of date changes that I had needed. She was responsible and reliable. I feel secure going out of town knowing that my 2 pets are in her good hands!
Kate is a wonderful cat sitter! Her daily reports brought me comfort while away from my sweet cat. The photos she sent showed me how happy and well-cared for my cat was in my absence. I’ll be rebooking Kate the next time I’m away!
Sandrine was an exceptional caretaker for our older cat, Henry. She accepted our request on very short notice, was so nice, and did an amazing job following through on everything. She sent great updates and pictures each day, and it was comforting knowing our cat was in such good hands. She's exactly what you'd want in someone caring for your pet. We'll absolutely be hoping to have her watch our cat the next time we're out of town!
Keiki is an excellent pet sitter and a wonderful person, I'm so happy I found her! She is very professional and kind, I could tell she really cared about our cats and was very detailed in asking questions about their needs. And she sent really cute photos of them :) I trust her 100%, thank you Keiki!
Harriet was a wonderful catsitter for my 3 cats while I was away on vacation. Her preparation and communication were excellent, and I enjoyed seeing the updates and photos with each visit. Highly recommended!
Lucia was a super responsive, friendly, responsible, sitter for our cat. We came home to a happy kitty and a clean house. We’d love to hire Lucia again.
Madeline always takes great care of my two cats! I always appreciate her communication and her attentiveness to their needs. I feel at ease when I’m traveling knowing that my cats are in good hands!
Mayra was great with my cat. While I was out-of-town, she came by to help my husband round up my cat and give him his twice a day insulin shot (it takes two people for this little guy). She was very calm and good with handling the cat.
Because Little One is 13 years old, I want her to keep the same meal time when I'm away. She also needs to have her food prepared in a special way – smashed squash, two medicines and placing her dish at an angle that's easy for her. Ilhem arranged her schedule to keep the same meal time and was also very careful about preparing her food. She is definitely a kitty lover – understands Liittle One’s personality and her wants and needs.I like how she talks to Little One.
Sophie was so attentive and caring towards our kitty! She made sure to drop by a day before to meet her and understand her needs. She sent tons of pictures, and gave Rocita lots of love, even staying more than what was agreed. Thank you Sophie!
They are sweet, kind, and responsible pet sitter! I’m really glad that they took good care of my cat when I was away. Will book again!
