“Billi provided an exceptional experience caring for my two cats, Mimi and Pin-get, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Mimi is my 9-year-old tuxedo cat and is normally very shy around new people, so I was amazed when she immediately felt comfortable with Billi during the meet and greet. That moment alone reassured me that Billi truly has a natural connection with animals. During each drop-in visit, Billi kept me consistently updated with photos and videos, which meant so much to me. Seeing Mimi happily sitting on her lap and watching both of my fur babies interacting comfortably with her made my heart smile and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Billi is professional, reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. She clearly takes the time to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Her communication and thoughtful updates made the entire experience stress-free. If you are looking for someone trustworthy who will care for your pets as if they were her own, I highly recommend Billi. I will absolutely be booking her again for future visits with Mimi and Pin-get.”
“Mara was absolutely awesome! Very communicative and friendly! My dog is shy & she was comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Mara again!”
“I am super blessed that I found Dawn! She takes care of my cat in the best way possible and also gives her medicine that my cat is on! Dawn is the best!”
“Estefania is great!! She always checked in with me by sending photos and giving me updates on my two cats while I was away. She was able to administer medicine to my kitten on short notice and made sure everything was perfect for them both. She even cleaned up litter that got around the house so that I didn’t come home to a dirty house. She is awesome !”
“Robin is amazing! We were worried about leaving Jagger for a week while we were on vacation, but Robin put us at ease. She was on time every day. She played with Jagger and sent us pictures. We will definitely use Robin again in the future!!”
“Overall, Nicole did a wonderul job looking after my two cats. She arrived on time, informed every step of way and even sent me pictures. I would definitely use her services anytime I have to take a trip.”
“Vadim is incredible you really can’t get much better than this. While he does so many things great what I appreciate the most is how responsive he is. Any time I needed something he was quick to answer. I was away for 2 weeks and he checked in on my Dog routinely. He also took care of medical issues with my Dog flawlessly. Thank you Vadim you are the best.”
“Kimmeth was fantastic. Notwithstanding that we came home to a happy and health cat, Kimmeth was punctual, sent us pictures and a note (if not a small letter) everyday to let us know how our cat was doing, cleaned up and all in all followed our directions/requests perfectly. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would definitely ask for her help again. She alleviated a huge stress in our life and it was well worth the expense.”
“Aaron is AWESOME! He came and helped me out big time when I had a sudden emergency stay at the hospital. He went above and beyond with my dog Tank. He took great of him in my absence and I can’t be more appreciative. Truly 5 star!💯”
“Krystal is the best! She always gets the cutest photos of my cat Zuko to send to me. Leaving my cat to go on trips can be hard but I’m comforted knowing Krystal is checking up on him!”
“I have just had by far my best experience with Rover. I had a last minute trip and Marianne went above and beyond in caring for my kitties. She is amazing. I had absolutely nothing to worry about while I was gone. She didnt cut any corners and gave very thorough updates throughout the time I was gone. When I came home the kitties were stress free too, I could really tell she spent time putting them at ease. I'd give her 10 stars if I could.”
About: I’ve been lucky enough to have dogs by my side my entire life—from playful puppies to wise and loving seniors. Caring for them through every stage has taught me patience, compassion, and just how much joy a wagging tail can bring. I dedicate myself to making sure dogs feel happy, safe, well-fed, and above all, loved. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love and attention I give my own. It’s simply what they deserve. I have a warm and welcoming home that includes a gentle boy eager to meet all the good boys and girls in town. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have weekends off, as well as a mid-week break. I have Wednesdays off during the week and love spending that time caring for pets. On the other weekdays, I’m home by early afternoon and available the rest of the day for walks, playtime, and cuddles. Weekends are my favorite time to relax at home, which makes me fully available and happy to dedicate my time to meeting your pet’s needs—whether that’s extra play, long walks, or just keeping them company. I live in a secure and cozy apartment that’s perfect for pets to feel at ease. There’s a balcony where they can enjoy some people-watching, and plenty of comfy hiding spots for when a thunderstorm rolls through. I also share my home with a gentle, loving good boy who’s always happy to make a new friend. For even more fun, our community has a fully fenced dog park for playtime and a convenient dog wash station to keep pups fresh and clean after their adventures.
“Sandy is the best! She is always on time, spends quality time with my fur baby and leaves my home nice and tidy after every visit. Sandy is truly a gem and I’m given the peace of mind when away from home!”

Gary was recommended by 2 of his clients that we personally know. We could not be more appreciative of the introduction. Gary was all that they said and more. His caring nature is evident on first meeting. After watching our Prince for 2 weeks we come to understand that this is not just a job for Gary but a calling. Prince could not have been in better hands. The updates (twice daily) were detailed and comforting to traveling pet parents. His watchful eye was not only on Prince, but on the house as well. He alerted us to a household issue that could have become problematic if left unchecked. You cannot go wrong trusting your furry loved one to Gary.
I can’t say enough good things about our dog walker, Kimmeth. She is truly one of the best people to care for my two dogs. She is consistently reliable, incredibly compassionate, and treats them as if they were her own. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they are in such caring and capable hands. My dogs absolutely adore her, and it’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to care for their pets.
Genesis is great! Maybe, the best with my dog, Sophie, when I’m away. Genesis, provided us a drop-in visit, giving Soph treats, affection, and she even fed her for me, which was an unexpected bonus. She did all of this on short notice with not much prior introduction to meeting Soph. Genesis is one of the best and I highly recommend her! Thank you, Genesis!
Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my 2 kittens. This was my first time using Rover so I did not know what to expect. However, Taylor communicated very efficiently the entire time and sent great photos to reassure me the babies were ok. The house looked the same way as I left it which means the little were also behaving thanks to Taylor’s visits. Would definitely rebook for another trip!
