“Bethany was awesome with our cat. She's reliable, punctual, and took great care of our cat during our vacation. We loved being able to see the rover cards and pictures and know she was doing well while we were gone!”


“Nataliia was absolutely amazing with our cat Mochi! She took such thoughtful and thorough care of him while we were away. We really appreciated the detailed updates and adorable pictures, each one showed just how well Mochi was doing and helped us feel completely at ease. Nataliia’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really shone through. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely book with her again!”


“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”


“Ian watched our 2 cats for 5 days and did a fantastic job! His attention to detail made me feel very comfortable, which can be hard for me while I’m away from my babies. He ensured the boys got tons of playtime and left detailed notes every visit that made me smile! He even left the apartment, feeding areas, and litter room spotless and took the trash out. Ian is by far the best sitter I have found on this app and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I would recommend him to anyone that I know!”

About: As someone whose usually not with family over the holidays, I have lived with/taken care of lots of friends and family’s dogs big and small. I have a lot of experience with and love for senior doggos in particular. I work remotely and primarily make my own schedule, so it’s easy for me to schedule in dog time as long as I know ahead of time. I usually ask for instructions so that I can keep your dogs normal routine going. I’m very active too, so I’m happy to take your dog on long walks or runs if they’d like that or drop the seats in my car and go out for adventures!
