“Payton was great to work with. She provided detail updates about our pup while we were away, we felt confident our dog was being well taken care of :)”

“Awesome service as always. :) We can always count on Jazmine to take very good care of our babies and she did not disappoint. Our babies are shy and are always hiding when they hear the door open, but Jaz always made sure she finds them when she gets to out place. She then plays with them and makes sure they eat and I get daily updates and pictures of them. They will miss her daily visits now that I'm back home. Thank you, Jaz! 😊”

“I had to take my son to get his haircut and to go to a DMV for an appointment. I knew that I would be away from home for a few hours and I needed a trusted animal lover to watch my son's dog. Our family dog is little over a year old and has never been left in the care of a stranger. I left our family pet home alone for over an hour and came back to destruction. I believe that behavior was the cause of my anxiety. Once I created my account with Rover, I came across Ms Bao’s page. She had stellar reviews and one of them included a positive review of Ms Bao encounter with a pet with anxiety. That review gave me the confidence to reach out to her. We had a “Meet & Greet” that lasted for about 15-20 mins that I am so appreciative of. Ms. Bao was able to get acquainted with my home, but more importantly the family dog. I think this is an important step in developing trust between the sitter and the pet and I am glad that Ms Bao decided to take this initiative. As a trusted member of the community, Ms Bao did not feel like a stranger to me or our dog. I had total trust in Ms Bao’s capabilities and skills and she is truly a ‘dog whisper’. Ms Bao took pictures throughout her visit to assure me that she was ok and so was our dog. Ms. Bao was able to get our dog to smile and even look over his shoulder with a grin, as if he was a little human in some of the pictures. I am blessed to have met Ms Bao and for my family to have such a positive experience with Rover and Bao. Ms. Bao truly gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Ms Bao for anyone looking for a sitter for their furry family member and I will be seeking her services again in the future.”

Skilled in walking, handling, overnight care, attention to detail, comfortable in medication administration and accurate dosing My schedule is wide open and flexible.

I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Stephanie was fantastic! She was punctual, polite, and very thorough, asking all the right questions to make sure our pets were well taken care of. She was incredibly kind and attentive to our dogs, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about them. Stephanie was a huge help while we were away on our camping trip. She not only took great care of our dogs, but also fed our pet betta fish and made sure Luna received her medication. Knowing that everything was being handled while we were away gave us great peace of mind. We really appreciate how responsible, caring, and communicative Stephanie was. We would definitely reach out to her again the next time we need someone to care for our pets. Highly recommend her!”

“Natalie was incredibly kind and accommodating to our two cats and their unique personalities. I would absolutely love to continue working with her in the future!”

“He was very patient with Elio and spent a full two hours giving him time to get comfortable. Elio wasn’t quite comfortable enough to be leashed, but he did take treats from him and even played with his toy, which was great progress. I really appreciated that he didn’t rush him and let Elio warm up at his own pace. We’d definitely be happy to have him watch Elio again!”

“Jeremy as always did a great job with my kitties. Sooo glad I picked him. I only needed him to come and feed my kitties and he actually did more. He took pictures, checked and cleaned the litter and checked to make sure there were enough water for them and also played with them to keep them company for a little bit. My kitties are normally shy and afraid to come out, but they were not afraid to come out and said hello to him. That warms my heart to know they're comfortable with him🥰.”

“I can always count on Kaitlyn. Cat and dog love her. She recently responding on really short notice and baled me out when I needed to spend the day away from my critters.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pet with the same love and care you do. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering routines, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. Caring for my own dog has also taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra space or a calmer approach. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. My availability is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pup’s preferred walking times, whether they need morning exercise, midday breaks, or evening strolls. As a dog mom, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I provide patient, attentive walks focused on safety and happiness.

“Mindi was wonderful with Odin! She stopped by for a drop-in visit, gave him a nice walk, and made sure he was well cared for. I could tell he was happy and comfortable after their time together. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“A BIG thank you to Marissa for taking such good care of our Kitty. I highly recommend her. Not only did she care of our pet as instructed, she also looked after our home. Really allowed us to enjoy our holiday.”

About: I have recently started sitting for a family friends dogs. I am very reliable with walking, feeding and naturing. I have worked with senior dogs as well. I currently work from home so I have more time to take care of pets. With free time during the weekends as well. I would be able to take the animals out 2-3 time during the week on breaks. I care for pets as if they were my own—providing love, attention, and a safe environment tailored to their needs. Whether in my home or yours, I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and exercise requirements to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have 4 kitties and 1 pup of my own. I have had no less than 3 cats my entire life, and am always helping the local strays as well, so I have loved cats of every type of personality and special need. I take my pup with me just about everywhere, so I have a lot of experience being out and about with a canine companion. My dog doesn't like other dogs, so I am also comfortable caring for pups that prefer not to be around other dogs. If you're looking to give your pup an extra special day out at a new park, I would love to bring them on an adventure! If your dog and/or cat is all about routine, I've got you. Playtime? I am so there! Or maybe your little one is a bit anxious and just wants some scratches and snuggles - I am here to make them feel safe and loved while you are away. <3 Whatever they need most, I am here to provide. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and as such, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can be available whenever it is that you need me the most! I always have access to my own car, so even if you need your pup taken to an appointment or to their most special favorite park, I am happy to do so. If you're looking for someone to stay with your pet all day and/or night, everything I need to do my freelance work is portable, so I can give your little one all the attention they deserve. :) I am the master of catering to the needs of all different types of pet personalities, as I have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, all very unique from one another. As such, I am able to cater the care I give to fit perfectly with your little one's needs and routines.

“Mel is awesome! Very professional, easy to get along with, great communication, reliable and absolutely great with our dogs! Frank (our large male pitbull mix) and Becky (our medium female bulldog) both adored Mel from the first moment they met her. She is very much Frank and Becky approved! Mel's done a great job taking care of our pups, she's a fantastic pet professional, and we highly recommend her services!”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.

“Douglas took great care of our pups while we were away. We will definitely use him in the future and would recommend to others as well. Thank you!”
