“Karina was awesome. She put as at ease the entire time we were on vacation. She sent so many pictures and videos and was so helpful. We will definitely book her again any time we end up leaving for a few days. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter.”
“I was floored by how attentive and engaged Jessica was with our two elderly kitties. She took extra time to earn their trust, and after a week in her care they were utterly devoted. One of the two particularly suffers when I’m absent for extended periods, and she took extra care with him. Her daily updates were informative and gave me clear indication of whether she was concerned/ not concerned for the small issues that cropped up (furballs and etc). She has my highest recommendation!”
“Brandy is absolutely wonderful!! She absolutely goes well above and beyond to make sure our furbabies are well-taken care of. She is great with both our kitties (even though she gives them medicine!) and our dog. We love Brandy and will always ask her to take care of our pets when we go out of town.”
“Did the job, got along with the cat!”
“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”
“You can tell right off the bat that Erica is great with animals; she connected with my kitties immediately and had a grounded presence that made them feel at ease. She’s also quick to respond to messages, friendly and easy to talk to. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Great communication!! I really appreciated her coming and looking after Zoey. Wonderful job! :)”
“So grateful we to have them watch our doggies!”
About: I am familiar with dogs of all breeds. I am very intuitive to dogs. I have walked up to three dogs at once. I would be interested in taking your dog or dogs to dog parks and etc. My schedule is pretty open. My dog is getting older and can't do so much any more. I am looking for personal exercise and income. I I live in an apartment. I walk my dog 2-3 times a day on a normal day plus I try to take him to the park twice a week.
About: I have had multiple jobs in a boarding, daycare, grooming, and training facilities. I love all types of animals and will treat them as my own. I currently work at Suds Em, a self service dog washing and grooming salon, but in between shifts I walk dogs and do drop in visits. I have a 3 year old yellow lab that I am the sole caretaker of and we go on many walks a day. I am a positive reinforcement believer, but I also understand everyone has their own beliefs.
“Vanessa was the best! I had a cancellation last minute and I was so stressed trying to find someone to watch my babies! It was fast confirmation, and easy communication with Vanessa. She was very attentive and followed all the directions I left while going above and beyond for my animals. would send updates and pictures along with detailed notes of what happens. I really appreciated this and it felt like I was there with them! I honestly can’t say enough good things about Vanessa and I am so thankful that I was able to book her. I would 100% recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Communicative, responsive and flexible!”
“Absolutely great job!! I would highly recommend and would 100% have Melanie watch my dog again 🙏”
About: For 15 years I've taken primary care of our cat Tessa; she has had some health challenges that I know how to look out for. I've also taken care of friends dogs of all types of breeds from shitzu to aussie shepherd. I work remotely from home so can be quite flexible especially in the summer. I work in building education software so am 100% remote; kids aren't in school or if they are it's the normal time but my wife stays at home too. I would always make sure all doors and windows are closed and locked when I am done; I would bring a checklist based on owners requirements and check them of as completed.
“Ada was perfect! My first time using Rover, and she really made me feel at ease. She also helped me last minute, as my previous cat sitter had an emergency and had to change her availability last minute (not on rover)… great communication too. Thank you Ada! Would hire again, and probably will! ❤️”
“Perfect pet sitter! Will use every time.”

About: I grew up with pets my entire life, I have experience with training, and I have experience with all kinds of animals (small, big, old, medical care, you name it) I am currently a high-school student and athlete, but my weekends and overnights are free to spend caring for your pets.

Eilene A.
“I’ve known Eilene for almost four years. During that time, I saw how she gave up her job to care for her mom during her final months of illness and death with care, strength and love with determination to provide for her mom and herself. Since that time, Eilene has been focused on work and also volunteering for various activities and projects at our church. She is willing to help others including me when I had major surgery last year. Eilene brought our family a dinner and frequently called to see how I was doing again demonstrating that loving care she had for her mom. I know Eilene has a great care for animals as well. She likes to walk a lot and feel Eilene would be a good dog walker.”

Brandon D.
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my two beloved dogs, Willow and Lulu, to a wonderful family – Brandon and his two lovely daughters, Madelyn and Jocelyn. From the moment I met them, I could tell that they genuinely love animals and would provide the best care possible. Brandon is incredibly responsible and attentive. He has a calm and reassuring demeanor that immediately put my dogs at ease. He kept me updated with regular texts and photos, which was incredibly comforting. It was clear he has a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for taking care of pets. Madelyn and Jocelyn were equally amazing. Their enthusiasm and affection for Willow and Lulu were heartwarming. They took the dogs on fun walks, played with them in the yard, and made sure they were always entertained and happy. My dogs quickly bonded with them and looked forward to their time together. The entire family made sure Willow and Lulu felt like part of their household. They followed all my care instructions meticulously, ensured the dogs were well-fed, and even managed to keep up with their specific dietary needs. The dogs came back to me happy, healthy, and visibly well-loved. I highly recommend Brandon, Madelyn, and Jocelyn to anyone in need of trustworthy and caring pet sitters. They exceeded my expectations in every way and provided a safe, loving environment for my fur babies. I will definitely be reaching out to them again for any future pet-sitting needs. Thank you, Brandon, Madelyn, and Jocelyn, for taking such excellent care of Willow and Lulu!”
