“Laura was amazing with my 8 week old pup. It was my first time back to work since getting her and I was so nervous to leave her home alone. Laura visited 3 times throughout the day and sent me adorable pictures. She definitely knows what she is doing and is a true animal lover. I would highly recommend her! I’ll definitely be using Laura again in the near future.”
“Christina is thoughtful and sent amazing photos of her visits with the fur babies. My dog is very old and grumpy but was won over by her! I felt at ease and able to enjoy my vacation!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our shy and anxious boy, Felix. Unfortunately, we had to skip the meet and greet, and due to this he was very nervous around her, but she was incredibly patient and understanding. Despite Felix’s initial growling and barking due to his discomfort, she took her time trying to soothe him and make him feel at ease. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay, which was very reassuring. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and patient sitter!”
About: Hello! I have experience with special needs and injured animals via fostering. They require a level of patience that I enjoy practicing. I love seeing them slowly improve in whatever it is that ails them. I also of course love all animals! My most recent foster was a blind kitten. I made sure he knew where everything was and to speak to him constantly. It was such a joy helping him learn how to jump down from the couch. Eventually he started jumping up on places he wasn’t even supposed to be! Now he plays as if he isn’t blind and it’s so beautiful to know that he will have a fulfilling life. I spend my days at home and love having furry friends visit. I am available mostly on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I go for walks as long as your dog needs to get happy and tired. I make sure to start off with some introductions. Whether it be lots of pets and scratches or a more gentle trust building approach. For cats I like to play with them or let them do their thing. Once they get comfortable I give them lots of pets! For dogs we hang out for a little. Then I like to take them on a walk and see the sites!
About: Lifelong Experience & Special Needs Expertise I have been around dogs most of my life and have personally cared for two dogs over the past 20 years. Both of my long-term companions developed chronic health conditions, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. Medication Administration: I am fully comfortable and experienced in administering oral medications safely and calmly. Breeds & Sizes: While I have a lot of personal experience with smaller dogs, I am completely comfortable and confident handling larger breeds as well. Brachycephalic/Short-Nose Breeds: I understand the unique health requirements of short-nosed breeds, particularly regarding proper heat management, exercise limits, and respiration monitoring. Because I work full-time in education with a daily commute, my regular schedule is focused on providing top-tier care during off-hours: Evenings & Weekends: Available for regular walks, drop-ins, and dinner feedings. Holidays & School Breaks: Expanded, flexible availability throughout the day. Services & What to Expect 30-Minute Dog Walks: Every walk is tailored to your dog's pace and energy level. Before and after our stroll, I take extra time to play with their favorite toys, shower them with attention, and let them settle in comfortably. Drop-In Visits: Perfect for checking in, play sessions, potties, and companionship while you’re away. Attentive Care & Feeding: I am happy to handle scheduled feedings and fresh water refills during any visit upon request. Wellness Checks: During every visit, I conduct a quick overall wellness check to ensure your dog appears happy, healthy, and showing no signs of discomfort or physical issues.
“Chase was attentive to all of my dog’s needs while I was away and send regular updates about his behavior. I definitely plan to trust the care of my dog with Chase in the future!”
“Tedy was an absolute JOY to work with and has a true gift with animals! She sent adorable videos of our sweet Baloo, and it was clear he was in love with her. She was very respectful of our space, clear in her communication and very friendly. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Our cat Teddy was glad to see Vanessa again for a couple days while we were out of town. She took good care of him and provided updates and photos. Vanessa is easy to work with, and we appreciated her prompt and thorough communication before, during, and after her visits as needed. Thank you!”
“Kathryn took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She was quick with all communications and made sure to check all of our kitties' hiding places to send a photo!”
“Melanie is always so great with our boys! They truly love her, she is always responsive and provides the best updates. Mumu is our sick boy and she makes sure he receives his meds timely and with ease. We’re truly grateful that she can care for them while we’re away.”
“Betty made my first time using Rover such an amazing experience! I was a pet sitter for 3 years, and I would absolutely trust Betty with caring for your fur babies! She was very communicative and made me feel so much better about leaving my senior cat while I went away!”
About: I have rescued and cared for animals my whole life. In addition, I’ve done pet sitting, walking and administering medication when needed. Reliable and loving. I am currently working part time but have enough flexibility to help out with your pets…even if you just want someone to keep them company, or check in on them. I will spend quality time with your pet..undivided attention, playtime, affection, walking, feeding and fulfilling needs required by pet/pet owner. Pet will not be confined and becomes a “part of the family”.
“Qilin is an incredible sitter and we wouldn’t trust our boy Felix with anyone else. Extremely punctual, communicative and caring toward Felix, who loves having her as a sitter. 10/10!”

Alissa took great care of our cat Peaches for a week. She gave succinct but detailed summaries of her visits, including anything specific that she felt might require our attention. Most importantly, she took the time to develop a close bond with our normally shy cat, petting, playing, and grooming her. Peaches usually hides at the sound of the door, but Alissa found her waiting for her in the foyer upon entry, a sight unheard of in our experience. Our minds were at ease that our beloved cat was in her loving hands. As a bonus, Alissa took amazing photos of Peaches on each of her visits, some of the best portraits we have, which we will treasure. We were fortunate to have paired Peaches with just the right person in Alissa. We can’t recommend her enough!
If I could leave 10 stars, I would! Xiaoying was amazing! It truly made the trip I was on so much nicer knowing Xiaoying was looking after my cat (Ruby). She went above and beyond: great communication, brought toys for Ruby to play with, and took lots of photos. It felt like I was leaving my cat with a family member.
Emily has been Coco’s regular dog walker for quite some time, and we truly could not have asked for someone better. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, genuinely cares about Coco. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that when we were at work, Coco was with someone we completely trusted. Emily was always dependable, kept us updated after their walks, and treated Coco like she was her own. Coco absolutely loves her, which says everything! We’re only parting ways because Emily received an amazing full-time opportunity, otherwise we would happily have kept her as Coco’s walker for years to come. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Emily care for their pet will be incredibly lucky. We’re going to miss her so much and can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾
Booked Charlie for a last minute 1 hour drop-in visit, due to unexpected/urgent appointments that took me out for the day. My pup is a recently adopted rescue with some reactivity and other idiosyncrasies, and I wasn’t comfortable leaving her with an unknown boarder or daycare. I was upfront about Lala’s issues-in-progress and Charlie was gracious, accommodating and communicative. During the hour-long visit, he sent plenty of photos and met my pup where she was at. Visit went smoothly and I was able to focus on my rather stressful day without having to worry too much about her. Thanks again.
Sylvia is incredibly helpful, responsive, and communicative. She has gone above and beyond with each visit. Most importantly, my cats are comfortable with her and well cared for. It makes being away so much easier knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Sylvia!
Nusta was absolutely incredible. I truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our dog while we were overseas. She went above and beyond in every possible way - taking amazing care of him, vacuuming and helping keep our home clean, bringing in our mail and Farmer’s Dog delivery, and even helping me during an emergency when I lost my debit card. Most importantly, our dog was SO happy. He had the biggest smile on his face when we got home, and it was obvious how comfortable and loved he felt with her. This was an extended trip overseas during such an important time in our lives - we got engaged while we were away - and because of Nusta, I genuinely did not have to worry about a thing back home. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone on this app, without hesitation. We will definitely continue using her because, at this point, our dog has officially welcomed her into the family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Nusta, for taking such incredible care of him and of our home. ❤️
Kiana was fantastic with my dogs! She was super flexible on short notice, set up a meet and greet right away, and asked all the right questions. One of my pups is a senior who requires several medications twice a day, and she handled his care seamlessly. She is trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dogs. Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
