Maria is very sweet and kind and an excellent communicator. My senior dog can be very stubborn but she got him to cooperate no issue. Highly recommend! ❤️

Sierra was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She was so good with them and we loved the pictures of the cats having fun with her while we were away. Sierra's communication was great and we would love to book with her again in future.

Sierra was such a wonderful caretaker for our pet bunny! She was super reliable and sent detailed updates with photos after each visit. Our bunny was shedding, so we asked Sierra at the last minute to add grooming and a daily tablet to her visits. She was really accommodating. After a 4 day trip, we came home to a really happy pet. We'll definitely try to book Sierra next time we're out of town. Thank you, Sierra!

Ivan was great! I was a little nervous because my cat can be really skittish and stressed around strangers (and for a few days after), but she was perfectly chill.

Alexis was tremendous. He left thorough review cards, lots of pictures, and was very communicative throughout his drop-ins. He was very flexible through a home-alarm difficulty, was very sweet to our cats, and we cannot recommend him enough. Please consider utilizing Alexis for your home visits!

Nathalie was amazing !! It was so reassuring that she was checking in on my kitty Duke. She did a great job. She was trustworthy in our home, reliable, communicative, and caring. That’s all one could ask for when watching your fur babies. Will definitely book her again.

Ana did such a wonderful job with my dogs when they had to take medications, had an upset stomach or itching issues. She sent me photos and videos which really lifted my spirits. Ana is very attentive and asks about how you would like things done in your home. I have two small dogs and would recommend her. My two dogs have different personalities and she was great at helping them each at their own pace.

Lisa was very professional and communicative with me, but more importantly knows how to care for cats with varying personalities and needs. One of our cats is a bit territorial/cranky with strangers, and Lisa approached her with compassion and understanding. She engaged with our cats in the ways they were most comfortable. She was also very thoughtful regarding some light house sitting tasks such as making sure the dehumidifier wasn’t full. You can tell that Lisa is a true animal lover who treats others’ pets the same way she does her own. We and our cats had a very positive experience, and would highly recommend Lisa’s pet sitting services to others!

About: I've had a cat named Sony I took sole responsibility for when I was in elementary. And just recently I've been watching my sister's dog. I'm a patient person and it's hard to get me frustrated. I'm currently a student without many responsibilities on the weekend, meaning your pet can count on my full attention. I'm available from 7am to 6pm for anything. First thing I do when I watch my sister's dog is make a list, what time to feed them, when to walk them, etc. Then I monitor the dog from a distance unless it's comfortable with me and step in if needed.

Joshuah took great care of our cat with digestive issues, and became fast friends with our kinda standoffish girl within a day. Great communication, lots of pictures, we felt super at ease knowing she was in caring hands. 10/10 would rebook.

About: I’ve had animals for my whole life up until i moved to college, so i’ve been needing that furry friend fix recently! during the summers i cat sit for a few family friends, but would like to extend my services! I’m home from college for the summer and working full time but depending on my shift can be there in the mornings and evenings, though overnight visits would work best so that i can be there in the morning and at night. i know it can be stressful for a pet to be away from their people. my mission is to make sure the animals know they are safe and loved and not alone!

Marissa was great with my cat Freya. She sent lots of good pictures, didn't hesitate to contact me when she had questions about caring for my cat, and she was able to find time in her schedule to rebook last second for a few more days when my flights got canceled. It's clear Marissa is really dedicated and enjoys looking after pets. I'd certainly book her again if I need another sitter in the future. Thanks.

We just started recurring services with Elizabeth, and she has been incredibly patient and loving with my dogs. One of my dogs is very afraid of new people and she has taken time to let the dog take his time getting to know her. She has been very respectful of my home and cleaned up messes as she sees them. Above and beyond service.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after everything from energetic dogs who love adventure and playtime to senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra patience, and close attention to routines and comfort. I also previously owned and operated my own pet sitting business for several years, where I built trusted relationships with pet owners and provided dependable in-home care for their pets and houses. I eventually closed the business to help my sister run her company full time, but I never stopped pet sitting. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets on the side because it’s something I genuinely love and find deeply fulfilling. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight care, companionship, litter box maintenance, basic grooming support, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. I understand how important communication and trust are, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and attentive care that gives owners real peace of mind. Along with pet care, I’m highly respectful of people’s homes and take pride in leaving spaces clean, organized, and well cared for. I’m dependable, communicative, calm under pressure, and genuinely attentive to the little details that make a difference. For me, great pet sitting is about creating a safe, loving, low stress environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for until their people return. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France​ I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide pets with lots of companionship, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate walks, feeding routines, playtime, medications, and cuddle breaks as needed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so I naturally build pet care into my daily routine rather than treating it like a task to check off. I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals and previously owned my own pet sitting business, so safety, communication, and trust are extremely important to me. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior changes, medications, and household instructions, and I always aim to create a calm, loving, low-stress environment for pets while their owners are away. I treat every home with respect and care, keep spaces clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: Currently studying veterinary science, so taking care of your animal is my profession! Working at an animal shelter part-time as an Animal Care Tech. Walked on wag before moving to Rover for sitting. Since working part-time, I am available throughout the week and late nights as well. Busy on the weekends and schooling in the morning. I made my schedule to have my afternoons and evenings free. 'I have a small mini poodle at home that loves to play. No strangers around your fur babies, currently living alone. I have a puppy-proof apartment set up for free roam and no easy access to anything harmful.

She made our vacation much less stressful. We will definitely use her again or you recommend everybody else use her except if we need her at that time. 😉

We had a great experience with Reniko as our cat sitter! He took excellent care of our three cats while we were away and gave us peace of mind throughout the visit. Communication was timely and appropriate, with regular updates and photos that let us know everyone was doing well. Our cats seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. He even got our shy one to say hello (an impressive feat)! We would happily book with him again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.

Marissa goes to great lengths to make sure all of our pets are taken care of. She consistently checks in, provides great photos, and her updates are thorough. She is great at following any specific instructions even if they’re absurd because of a needy dog or a cat that tries to escape at any chance. We are so grateful to have found Marissa and will continue to use (and have already booked!) her services again.

Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!
