“I can’t say enough great things about Kai!!! This is my first experience using Rover as I did not want to put my boys in a kennel while I was away for a few days. Since my pups are a bit senior I wanted them to be in the comfort of their own home. Kai saw my boys twice a day, was consistent and timely and great at communicating with me how everything was going every time he saw them. I was a little nervous initially with allowing someone in my home while I was out of town, but Kai is completely trustworthy and made sure to lock everything up in between his visits. I HIGHLY recommend Kai for taking care of your pet(s) when you have to be away from them :)”


“Fantastic and accommodating sitter for our 5yr old cat. Diwa was on top of keeping us updated while on our trip and was thorough with questions regarding our cat’s needs. 10/10 would work with Diwa again!”


“Im grateful to have had Donny take care of our cats while we were away! He’s truly a cat whisperer—taking the time to get to know each cat individually and remembering all their unique quirks and preferences. It’s clear he genuinely cares for them, and our cats were comfortable in his hands. Donny would always send us regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter!”


“Amanda went above and beyond looking after our three cats while we were gone on an international trip for 5 weeks! Not only did we feel extremely safe leaving our babies in the care of Amanda but after every update, I knew our decision was a good one! We loved how detailed her updates were and the photos that she shared made missing them feel slightly less. If you need an amazing pet sitter look no further! Thank you so much Amanda for taking the time and looking after our babies, we will be forever grateful!”


“We can't thank Elaine enough for dropping-in to take care of Leo while we were out of town. She did such an amazing job at not only taking care of Leo but keeping us (the paw-rents) at ease. Elaine was diligent with caring for Leo and sent us many pictures during her visits. She is a true professional. You can tell Leo and Elaine created a bond and we will definitely think of Elaine first next time we are out of town. Thank you so much Elaine! ?”


About: I have experience communicating and living with dogs, cats and birds. I see the needs and mood of animals well. I have experience in caring for puppies and kittens. I taught my 2 cats commands (paw, sit and place). I have a higher medical education (human medicine) and can prepare to care for any pet if necessary. I am currently not working and I have flexible schedule. I will be able to devote a lot of time to take care of your pet. My home is secure, plus there is a large fully fenced back yard for off-leash walks, active play, and outdoor lounging. If you have any questions- just ask me.

About: I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every animal with the same love and respect I’d give my own. I have two of my own pups! and I always adapt to their individual needs. I’m patient, gentle, and never in a rush. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate same-day bookings or last-minute requests. Whether you need a regular walker or occasional drop-ins, I’ll do my best to work around your need just send me a message! I totally get how important it is to know your pet is safe and in good hands. I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for whether we’re out on a walk or just hanging out during a drop-in. I’ll follow whatever routine you give me, keep a close eye on them, and treat them like one of my own.

“Perla was absolutely wonderful with my Olive. She dedicated so much love and time with my little old lady, I felt completely at ease vs my usual anxiousness. She has found her calling, the love she provided and her communication skills give one peace of mind! Thank you Perla.”


“Olu took care of our cat after we planned a last minute Christmas trip. She was so considerate and communicative. We felt at ease knowing that our kitty was in good hands while we were out of town. This was our first time using Rover and Olu made it so easy and such a positive experience. We will definitely hire Olu again without hesitation.”


“Jazmin has been such a big help with our young puppy! She lets her have plenty of playtime while also keeping her safe. We would definitely recommend booking her!”


About: I’m passionate about providing personalized, attentive care that meets each pet’s unique needs. I’m highly detail-oriented, ensuring routines, medications, and preferences are followed exactly as requested. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I am available at different times throughout the day. My mornings are free as well as my afternoons. I typically can do drop ins in the evenings as well, after 8 pm. I have a park across the street so walks are easy. I have a 1 bd apartment so it's enough space for most sized pets.

“These was my first time hiring someone for my puppy and I wad very nervous. Yvonne came and help to feed,potty and play with my baby Lulu. Thank you so much for the great communication and services.”


“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Pearl to take care of my cat Maia while I was away, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, I could tell that she was a true animal lover. Her professionalism and genuine care for my fur baby were evident throughout her entire stay. One of the standout aspects of Pearl’s service was her proactive communication. During my first booking, she sent me daily updates and photos of my cat, which was incredibly reassuring. It was wonderful to see my shy cat starting to warm up to her, a testament to Pearl’s gentle and patient approach. During this most recent booking, Pearl helped coordinate with my house sitter to make sure Maia was fed and well loved when I was away. Normally, Maia is very reserved around new people, but she seemed comfortable and even happy in the photos I received. Moreover, Pearl was very respectful of my home. She left everything in perfect condition, just as I had left it. It's clear that she takes her responsibilities seriously and goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners are satisfied. I highly recommend Pearl to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in her work, and I will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Thank you, Pearl, for taking such wonderful care of Miss Maia!”


About: I always like to approach any animal, whether it be a dog on a walk, a stray cat, or even the smallest of insects with patience, respect, and care. I understand that animals have boundaries much like people do. Pet sitting to me is creating a trusting bond with the animal all while offering the support necessary to the pet parent to make your life easier. I have sat for friends, family, and the community at large. I have worked with small animals, cats, and dogs. I have sat an elderly dog that needed medication and special attention at night. I am happy to help in any way that I can! Let's see if you, me, and your pet(s), are a good match 😊🐾 I am on summer break before I start a graduate degree in the fall. I do not have any official commitments right now so I am very flexible and am willing to negotiate certain hours and days. Just shoot me a message! In addition to respecting the boundaries of pets I always respect the boundaries of the pet parent first and foremost. There have been instances where I needed cleaning supplies or needed to go outside or interact with a home I was unsure about so I always opt for communication first. I treat every home in a much better fashion than I treat my even my own. If I am unsure about anything I will always message you first!

“Elizabeth was a life saver and did both a house sitting and drop-in visit for our 2 pups over 2 days. Pixel is still a puppy and a little higher maintenance with bathroom breaks, so having her there to let him out and give them some attention allowed us to relax while we had plans with family in town. She even did a pre-visit to meet them and go through instructions which was very helpful. Highly recommended and will definitely book again!!”

14. Lani C.
“Lani is an absolutely phenomenal pet sitter. She watched and cared for my two dogs (both 4) and they were well taken care of. Lani had no problems feeding them both (even with meds for one of my dogs). She went above and beyond with walks and making sure both the dogs were happy, and played with them frequently. She is also always on time, asking questions, making sure she knows everything she needs to. All correspondence was over text or phone call and she was very respectful! She truly has a calming presence around animals. I've never seen my dogs so well behaved! Overall a great pet sitter, I have recommended her to other friends and would 100% use her services again.”
