“Raquel was a fantastic cat sitter! She spent time each visit getting to know our shy cat and by the end of the week they were fast friends. Raquel provided detailed updates after each visit accompanied with tens of pictures and a few videos. We will definitely use Raquel again!”


2. Jillian H.

“Jillian gives me so much peace of mind while I’m traveling. She takes such good care of my fur babies and always goes above and beyond. My two cats (one very cranky LOL) both love her and I love all the pictures and detailed Roger Cards she leaves for us. I’ll book with Jillian every time I travel.”

“Veronica was great with my dog and great with checking in with me. I appreciated that she texted me to make sure my dog would be ok going outside when there was thunder. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for my three dogs—Mya (14-year-old Silky), Maizie (6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix), and Zhu (13-year-old Black Lab). I’ve grown up with Maizie since she was a pup and have been with Mya and Zhu for five years, handling their care when my family is away. My deep bond with these dogs allows me to understand their unique needs and personalities. I specialize in attentive care for puppies and senior dogs and pride myself on making sure each pet feels comfortable, loved, and safe. As I work toward my CPA certification and prepare to start my accounting job in the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m used to balancing multiple responsibilities, and I enjoy taking care of my own pets, so offering pet care services fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walking dogs or caring for cats, I make sure to give each pet the attention they need while managing my study and job preparation time efficiently. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I ensure a pet-friendly, secure environment, with plenty of space for pets to relax and explore. I make sure all areas are free of hazards, and I provide fresh water and safe spaces for rest. Whether it’s during walks or while watching pets at their home, I closely supervise them, ensuring they are always safe and comfortable. I also prioritize communication with clients to ensure they trust me with their pets' well-being, offering regular updates and being responsive to any specific needs or concerns.

7. Steffen B.
“Steffen is one of the kindest most compassionate people I know. He is truly one of the good people in this world and I trust him like family. I know he will take great care of your family member because he has a great work ethic and just genuinely cares which is honestly so rare. I’m lucky to have him as a friend and any pet he cares for will feel the same!”


8. Matthew W.
“Matthew and Mary Beth were absolutely wonderful pet sitters! From the moment we connected, they were communicative and super punctual. They took amazing care of my Pinky Short Cake. She was happy, healthy, and clearly loved all the attention. Truly top-notch sitters! Highly recommend and would definitely book with them again!!!”

12. Le'Andra M.
“Le’Andra is an animal lover for sure! She loves them all know matter how big or small. Do know that your pet is in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”




13. Alyanna G.
“Alyanna is my go-to pet sitter. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely cares about animals. She got her first puppy at 8 years old, and ever since, she has cared for 3 dogs and 2 cats for most of her adult life. She currently watches my cat and always keeps me updated with photos and updates. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my animals.”


14. Erin O.
“Hello! Erin fits the bill of being one of the kindest pet caregivers I've had the pleasure of knowing. Visiting her house, Erin brings a sense of security and comfort with her dog that I wish I could see in other pet owners. With her experience in dog sitting, even out of the country, she brings that same TLC to any other pet she may have responsibility for. Her ability to listen to pets' needs and also follow a routine is one of her strongest traits. Erin will make a wonderful addition to Rover, and I'm very excited for pet owners to meet her.”


15. Eleni F.
“Eleni is a deeply caring and responsible pet caregiver with years of experience raising and caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors with special needs. She’s playful, patient, and loving while also ensuring proper training and structure. Whether it’s snuggling in a dog pile or managing medical needs, Eleni gives every pup the attention and care they deserve. Any pet would be lucky to have her!”


16. Trishelle D.
“She is the most respectful, responsible, and reliable pet caregiver she makes sure your pet is the priority so you should give her the chance to pet sit your pets at anytime.”


17. Jena B.

“Responsive and easy communication; took great care of the dog and would definitely use again.”




18. Madeline S.
“Madeline is an excellent pet sitter and she is only of only a few people I would trust with my dog. She truly treats my dog as her own when she watches him and sends updates throughout the stay. She is very responsible and reliable and has experience with many types of dogs from being a volunteer at several shelters. She would be a great pet sitter for anyone!”


19. Triba M.
“Triba has been taking excellent care of my dog King and I enthusiastically recommend her pet sitting services. I am always comfortable that my dog and even apartment are in good hands with Triba. I can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of animals and feels deeply responsible for their well-being. My dog feels comfortable with her and responds well to her. Triba is reliable and also flexible. She also is responsive when I check in via phone or text. Every household and every pet is unique I believe Triba is able to adapt her caregiving to accommodate those differences and can adjust comfortably to any situation. -Caroline M.”
