“Cristina was so kind and flexible! Instructions for care were followed exactly and she even gave our cat his favorite wet treat. Thank you so much!”


“Loretta is the best! My two German Shepherds love her! From this dog mom, I am very grateful to Loretta for taking such good care of my fur babies! I highly recommend her.”


“My cat, Carmela, began showing symptoms of an upper respiratory infection just before my husband and I were about to leave for vacation. She needed medication, but I didn’t have anyone in my circle whom I could trust or rely on to give meds properly, which caused me a great deal of anxiety. I had been curious about Rover for future situations and had already considered Alex, as her profile was impressive and she had fantastic reviews. I reached out to Alex, and she responded almost immediately. Her professionalism and attention to detail are exceptional, and she is genuinely a kindhearted person. Her visit summaries and the pictures of Carmela put my husband and me at ease. We are extremely grateful to her! Thank you so much, Alex. 🙏🏻 You are a gem. 🥹”


“Jennifer did a great job taking care of Indi ! She walked her and made sure she was happy. Will defiantly book her again.”


“Kim is a natural with dogs! My dog is generally very shy and nervous around new people, but Kim made her feel comfortable right away, and they were best buds in no time. Kim knew exactly how to approach her (gently, speaking softly) and didn't push her boundaries (waiting for my dog to approach and sniff her, only petting when my dog seemed more comfortable). Kim was quick to make a connection with her, and they both had a ton of fun walking and playing. I don't trust a lot of people with my dog, but I would have no hesitation leaving her under Kim's care!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience in both senior care and pet care. Through my work with IHSS, I provide daily assistance to an elderly woman, ensuring she has the support and companionship she needs. This has given me valuable skills in patience, attentiveness, and understanding the unique needs of senior individuals. Additionally, I have firsthand experience caring for senior dogs, having taken care of two of my own. I understand the extra attention, gentleness, and medical considerations that older pets require. Whether it's administering medication, helping them move comfortably, or simply giving them the love and care they deserve, I am committed to making sure every pet feels safe and cared for. With my background in both human and animal care, I bring a compassionate and responsible approach to pet sitting, ensuring that every pet—whether young or old—receives the best care possible. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Every day, I take care of my elderly dog, making sure they are comfortable, well-fed, and given the attention they need. I understand the extra care senior pets require, from gentle exercise to administering any necessary medications. In addition to my dog, I also have two birds, which I care for by keeping their environment clean, providing fresh food and water, and ensuring they get enrichment and interaction. My experience with different types of animals has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attentiveness in pet care. Whether it's meeting the needs of senior pets or maintaining the well-being of birds, I prioritize their health and happiness as part of my daily and weekly routine. I provide attentive and compassionate care for pets both in my home and in my client’s home, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Every day, I take care of my elderly dog, so I’m experienced in meeting the special needs of senior pets, including providing a comfortable space, assisting with mobility, administering any necessary medications, and offering gentle companionship. I also have two birds, which has given me experience in maintaining a clean and enriching environment for feathered pets, ensuring they have fresh food and water, and interacting with them regularly to keep them engaged. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s routine, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship tailored to their specific needs. Whether it’s caring for an elderly pet, ensuring birds have proper care, or simply offering love and attention, I am committed to providing reliable and thoughtful care to every animal I look after

“Anna has been an exceptional pet caregiver for our miniature dachshund, looking after her when we are out of town or for longer vacations. She is incredibly responsible and loving, always ensuring she feels comfortable and safe in her care. We can count on her to follow all instructions carefully due to breed specific needs, including administering the right vitamins, raw diet, and medication. Knowing Anna is there gives us peace of mind, and we’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provides our furry friend.”

“Excellent, very thorough and communicative.”


“Georgina is A+”


“Tiff is the best dog sitter we have ever had. Our dog Pumpkin absolutely loves her and so do we. Tiff sends pictures, videos and updates the entire time, without you even asking. We've used Tiff several times now, sometimes for a weekend - once for 3 weeks! Her home is safe & dog friendly with a large yard. Pumpkin never has anxiety going there or staying there. I would recommend Tiff for any dog owner who needs a sitter.”


“Linc was extremely responsive and clearly familiar with taking care of cats. He was even able to cover an extra appointment on short notice when my trip was extended unexpectedly. Came home to a well cared for kitty.”


“Justin is incredibly sweet and patient with my very shy senior dog. He went above and beyond to accommodate her specific needs, and I truly appreciate his care. I look forward to having him look after my dog again!”


About: I have developed the ability to provide care and excitement when spending time with my four legged babies. I have also done the same for my friends and family. I occasionally still take care of the needs of my friends furry companions when they're out of town. I am currently working at walmart but am looking to reduce my schedule. My dream from a very young age was to be able to work with animals in some capacity. This job will allow me to pursue that opportunity. I make sure they always have water and food. I feed them accordingly to their size and weight. I make sure they get enough play time every day. I also make sure I clean up after them.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family friends for the past 3 years. I volunteer at a local shelter, so I have pretty good experience with dogs, or so I’d say… I’ve always had a passion for dogs because I’ve realized how much of a blessing it is to have a loyal companion by my side all the time! I’m currently a high school student, so I’d say my schedule is pretty flexible after school (3 pm). I have tutoring occasionally, but I could easily move things around! I have a fenced house and a friendly cat, as well as a friendly Frenchie! I can easily crate your pet if needed as well, but I usually refrain from leaving pets in crates, as I have the time and space to hang out with them.

About: If I won the lottery I would build a pet sanctuary. I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets from Dogs and Cats. I have taken care of family pets, family friends, even Doctors I have worked for. I’m very careful with each pet as I treat them like little children and I follow every instruction to the dot. I recently quit my job to become a full time student. On my spare time I like to take my dogs on hikes and long walks. I saw this as an opportunity to provide my spare time to play, walk, or even keep your fur baby some company. I have experience administering medicine. I had a litter of pups that became ill and nurse them back. I have also administered my pets medicine pill and liquid form when they are ill. I would love to meet your fur baby’s. I am a full time student, taking online classes. My schedule consists of usually studying late nights. So there plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I have a fenced home back and front yard with a pool. 2 small dogs and 2 large dogs all friendly. If you do not want them near any other pets please let me know I would respect owners decision.

“Alyssa has great experience with my cat and dog. She was there when I first got them both and loves to walk them both. My cat stays in a clear backpack that is meant for walks while my dog is just dragging her away”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—my senior dog for 4 years, my now 5-year-old pup since he was a baby, and I’m currently raising a 9-month-old puppy. I understand the patience, care, and attention needed for both seniors and energetic young pups! I have a part-time job and classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I’m available after 2:30 PM on workdays and have more flexibility on other days. Since I have my own dogs, including a 9-month-old puppy, pet care is already part of my daily routine! I have a fenced porch for safe outdoor time and use a harness for walks. There’s a park in my community for exercise and play. I provide loving care tailored to each dog’s needs, including experience with both puppies and senior dogs. Crating is available if needed.

“Karina was great with our two cats! She dropped in on them during the scheduled times and sent updates with photos each visit. Fisher and Bella warmed up to her very quickly. She kept them well fed and hydrated, and the litter box/area was clean when we got home from our trip. She also diligently flagged anything out of the ordinary. 10/10, we recommend Karina for your pets! ?”


About: It has been 25 years since I first got a dog. My first pet was a golden retriever. I have had five dogs in the past 25 years, and now I still have two dogs and two cats at home. I am a person who loves small animals. I like to play with any small animals. In my world, animals can heal me and make me feel very good. So I like to stay with dogs and cats. I have rich experience in raising dogs, and I understand many dogs' body languages. I feed my dogs twice a day. The food is both dry and canned. I will add collagen to the dry,make sure they eat health. They also have vitamins to take every day. I wipe their faces, butts, and bodies every day. My dogs love playing with balls, so throwing the ball is a daily exercise for them and me. I comb their hair for 10 to 15 minutes every day. I take them out for a walk at least once a day. For dogs, I think the most important thing is companionship. Before they come to my house or go to their house, I will confirm some details with their family. (For example, what food allergies, drug allergies, personality, preferences, degree of adaptation to unfamiliar environments, and degree of reaction to strangers or strange dogs)
