“Avery has been a reliable and very caring sitter for our cat. Everything goes smoothly when Avery works with us, providing excellent, prompt, clear communication and fun photos. When we return, our cat is calm and normal.”

“Angela was fantastic! She came over to meet us and our pets and exchange information prior to our weekend away. She followed our directions, spent quality time with our pets, gave lots of feedback (which is really important to us) and photos, and left the house in good condition. We will definitely be using her services again. Can't say enough good things about our experience!”

“Jackie has been AMAZING to our puppy! She os punctual, leaves all details you need and follows up with you if needed. Caju seems to enjoy her very much and would definitely hire her again! 💙”


“Diane did a fantastic job with our dog, Maggie, even when Maggie had a tough first day being crated and shredded her bed. Will definitely hire Diane again. Easy to communicate with and took great care of our pooch.”

“Elinor was amazing! She just love cats! The way she connected with our boys was just impressive! They loved her since the first day!! For us it was a relief, knowing that they liked her! Every time she played with them, gave a lot of pets!! That makes a difference. And she took care of my plants and tomatoes :) I wont hesitate to book with her again! Cause I know that our boys will be in good hands!!!! I only have good things to say about her!!! I appreciate all she has done while we were gone on vacations!”

“Sydney and James were both so wonderful and took excellent care of our cats while we were out. They went above and beyond in their services and sent excellent pictures. We will certainly be using them again”

“Alexis cared for my cats while I was out of town. One is particularly shy and nervous, and she came out with Alexis which I think says something! She was communicative and easy to plan with!”


“Charlotte was incredibly efficient, always arriving on time and following my instructions. Communication was a breeze; she kept me updated with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! He was happy and well cared for, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Sam was a wonderful kitty care taker!! She was super communicative, sent great updates and photos, and I felt comfortable knowing my kitties were in great hands. Will rebook!”

“Octavia was amazing with our dogs! She sent photos and kept me updated every time she visited. We are always nervous to leave our dogs when going out of town but Octavia always made me feel that they were being taking care of with tons of love. I strongly recommend her!!”


About: Hi, My most recent experience has been long term care for friends and families dogs. I offer to walk dogs multiple times a day, as well as check in multiple times a day. I also offer personalized behavioral training a recommendations. I have particular experience with behavioral issues like separation anxiety and difficulties walking on a leash and getting overwhelmed with various stimuli. Previously, I fostered large dogs with behavioral issues for the SPCA for 5 years. I have experience with dogs that are reactive, anxiety ridden and once with medical issues. I fostered the dogs until the issues are either managed or resolved and they are ready for adoption. I have experience primarily with large dogs. I am used to long walks and hikes with dogs. I primarily keeps dogs on leash but in the right circumstances I will let them off leash. However, I am very picky. I am open to walking l, check-ins and boarding. I’m in class a few times a month and working 1-2 days a week so I have times of availability to care for your pup. Thank you for considering me, Celine I’m a graduate student with minimal in class time so I have plenty of time to play and cuddle your pup. I love long walks and play time. I enjoy finding engaging activities that keep them mentally stimulated. I would like to get a sense of your pup and aspects of their care that are most important to you. This could be frequency of walking, caring for behavioral issues or simply giving them lots of cuddles. I can be in your hole where your pup is most comfortable or bring them to mine.
“We are so grateful to Mary for taking good care of our cats! We were gone for 2 weeks and Mary checked in on our kitties every day. She was very attentive to them, provided updates, and provided great care.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, raising and training my Yorkie, Remy, until his passing at 14, and my XL Bully, Zebo, for the past 11 years. Since joining Rover in 2021, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Young, senior, hyperactive, and socially reserved. I provide frequent walks, playtime, and even baths to ensure pups are happy, healthy, and cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a lifelong dog owner, I start my mornings with walks and playtime to ensure pups get their energy out. Throughout the day, I dedicate time to feeding, cuddling, and engaging with each dog based on their needs. Whether that’s quiet companionship or active play. Evenings are for winding down with more walks and care, ensuring every pet feels loved and attended to as part of my family. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel like part of the family. I provide frequent walks, designated playtime, and cozy spaces to relax. Pets receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day, with routines tailored to their specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I ensure their routines remain consistent. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles, I provide attentive care while keeping their environment clean, familiar, and stress-free. Whether in my home or theirs, pets are my priority, and I treat them as if they were my own.
About: My parents have what they like to call a "hobby farm", so I have grown up surrounded by animals. I would both help my family take care of our pets but also help out my neighbors when they would go out of town. In college, I have dog and house sat multiple times through the platform Handshake. I am currently in nursing school. My current schedule usually gives me free time in the early mornings and in the evenings of the week days. I currently have weekends totally available. I love to play with the dogs and go on walks. I also like to ask the owner what their preferences are for their dog's activity.
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since before I can remember. My family members were all allergic to animals so I was never able to have my own to love and care for. Pet sitting and dog walking was a way to get my animal “fix” without causing any allergic reactions in our household! I also ride horses and have owned and cared for many horses over the past ten years. Currently, I am taking a break from owning a horse but still get to ride occasionally! I do have references available if need be and would be happy to share to whomever is interested. I now have my own dog, Zuri, I rescued her in October 2020! She is the best girl ever and loves her life! I also have fostered for a few different organizations so am well versed in how each dog is different. I love all animals and would love any opportunity to give yours love when you aren’t available to do so! I work from home 4 days a week! So I am able to snuggle and play with the dogs all day! We do several walks a day & utilize enrichment toys. I live in an apartment, it’s big enough to host Zuri and one other dog comfortably. There are a few flights of stairs so would want to make sure your dog is comfortable with that.

Where do I even begin? We have a 20-year-old senior cat, and we had never trusted anyone else to care for him before. Leaving him was something I was incredibly anxious about, but Alexis made the entire experience so much easier. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with our sweet senior boy. She did an amazing job giving him his medications and always kept me updated after each visit with thoughtful messages and pictures. Honestly, I don’t know who she comforted more—me or my cat! I’m forever grateful for the love and care she gave him while we were away. Knowing he was in such capable, compassionate hands gave me such peace of mind. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a nervous Nelly and very particular, especially when it comes to my cat. Alexis followed every one of my detailed instructions, little tips, and routines without hesitation, and she made me feel completely at ease. I truly can’t recommend Alexis enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were her own, she’s the one. Thank you, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of our boy. It meant more to us than you’ll ever know.

Jimena is great! When I first met her for the meet and greet, I knew immediately that I could trust her to provide my 3 dogs and 1 cat with the best possible care over the next four days (while I was out of town). Over those 4 days, whenever she had a question, she did not hesitate to ask. She also provided me with updates, including pics, after every visit. When I arrived back, everything was very clean and orderly. No complaints whatsoever. Will definitely ask her back the next time I have to travel.
