“I can't recommend Kevin enough. He was communicative, responsive, and clearly familiar with caring for dogs. They received regular walks and affection, and I swear the place was in better shape than when I left. An excellent caretaker and sitter - highest marks.”


“Summar was absolutely FANTASTIC as our dog sitter this past week. She sent multiple updates per day with adorable pictures of Comet having adventures throughout the day as well as a description of his daily activities. She left us a welcome home note, printed collage of Comet picture from the week, and a treat upon our return! The house was in perfect shape and Comet was a very happy puppy. He LOVED Summar - she has a very natural, outgoing, loving personality that set me and Comet at ease immediately. I will use Summar as often as she is available to dog sit in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Thank you Summar for your thoughtful and attentive care of our beloved pooch Comet!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience caring for feline and canine companions. Growing up, I lovingly cared for six cats, handling everything from daily feedings and grooming to litter box maintenance. My heart has a special place for senior pets, inspired by my own senior dachshund, Lincoln. His health challenges, from medications to specialized care, taught me the nuances of senior pet care. While my home is quieter now since his passing, it has created a new chapter for me to share my experience and love with your furry family members, offering compassionate boarding services for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. My work-from-home schedule on Mondays and Fridays provides ample opportunity for walks, playtime, and cuddles with your pets during the day. Weekends are entirely dedicated to pet care, whether it's a long walk in the park, a fun playdate, or simply enjoying some quiet companionship at home. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to green spaces for walks. I believe in providing a loving and attentive environment for my pets, which is why I only accept one pet at a time. This allows me to give them all the love, attention, and individual care they deserve.

“Nick quickly responded when I reached out. We met ahead of time and he was great with my dog. He sent me daily photos while taking care of my dog. My dog was happy and well cared for while I was away and my house was left in good shape. I will definitely use Nick again.”

“Sun was fantastic! Not only was she loving with our dogs, she was a wonderful houseguest. I would highly recommend Sun and look forward to booking with her again!”


About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs and currently in process to be First Aid certified for pets as well! (As of July 2025) I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! Currently my schedule is very open and flexible. I can accommodate a boarding at my apartment, as well as pet sitting/drop-in visits, as well for all days of the week. *Note for Boarding requests* I have another 4-year old Havanese dog (very friendly) at my apartment. Happy to have another dog for boarding but please read this note before booking a boarding request!** Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.

“Maria took wonderful care of my pup while I was away. My dog can be a bit nervous, but I came home to a relaxed and happy dog. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate, especially if you have an older or more sensitive dog. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

Friendship Village pet parents share their Rover experiences
Johanna took incredible care of our special needs/separation anxiety prone kitty while we were away and sent plenty of great updates and photos. We returned to a home just as we left it. We’d recommend Johanna highly to anyone and hope she can take care of our girl again in the future!

Lucas was an awesome pet sitter for our older cat while we were away! We would definitely be happy to work with him again. He stayed for over a week and gave us great daily updates, left our apartment very clean, and we could tell our cat was happy with him! Would definitely recommend him! Thank you for taking such good care of Trax, Lucas!

Jules was an amazing dog sitter! She was very communicative throughout the whole process, keeping me updated and making me feel at ease. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved her. I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Jules to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Maria was wonderful. We needed someone to stay at our home for the weekend to house sit and watch our pets. We have one very friendly dog and two very shy rescue cats, and Maria did a fantastic job taking care of all three of them. She was very responsive beginning with our initial request until the end of her stay. She fed our dog and cats, walked our dog every day, and gave him tons of cuddles and affection, and worked on winning over our apprehensive cats. She sent updates every day with photos, and we felt very relaxed knowing she was there taking care of the house. Would absolutely work with her again, and recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help with your furry friends.

Karachi provided excellent car for dog and home while we were away on vacation. She was very responsive to my messages and she helped to coordinate a trip to the vet when our dog exhibited some health issues. She left our home in great shape. I highly recommend her for both dog and house sitting.

Alaina was amazing with Pancho. He can be super anxious, especially with new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately. We were traveling and signal was very spotty, but knowing he was in good hands was such a relief. We will definitely be booking Alaina again - so so thankful we found her!
