1. Heleen W.

“Heleen goes above and beyond, cannot recommend her enough! She really cares, was super communicative, and took such good care of our cat who was sick while we were out of town. Our cat takes a while to warm up to people and is very particular, but Heleen won her over. She's our go-to cat sitter and just amazing!”


2. Hana L.
“Hana has been so extremely sweet to my puppy! I have a 9 month old pup so he is a bundle of energy for most people, but Hana has shown no problem keeping up. Hana also has helped me teach simple commands and gave me potty training tips which has been super successful. Overall, her communication and care is above and beyond.”


3. Tzu-Wei T.

“Vicki is excellent and did a wonderful job taking care of our kittens. She also took amazing photos of them! We will definitely re-book with her in the future.”


4. Simon S.
About: With years of experience caring for dogs, I offer reliable, loving, and personalized care that fits each pup’s unique personality. Whether it’s a walk that matches their energy or a comfy stay that feels just like home, their safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m great with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I make sure every furry friend feels safe, secure, and totally loved. Plus, I keep a close eye on their health and behavior to make sure they’re always feeling their best. Each day starts with a morning walk or playtime in our fenced yard to give dogs a great start. My routine is designed around keeping them on a consistent schedule that helps them feel secure and loved while they’re in my care. I live in a single-family home with a fenced backyard, so dogs have plenty of space to run, play, or just chill out. It’s a safe, relaxed spot where pups are always supervised and treated like part of the family. My goal is to make sure every dog feels right at home—and to give their humans total peace of mind while they’re away.

6. Menghan C.

“Menghan is a wonder sitter. This is the second time I’ve used her. My dogs love her. She is extremely communicative, spends quality time and sends cute photos! I plan on using her ever I can for my babies!”


7. Sarina H.
“Sarina is very loving, attentive, and reliable in taking care of pets. She took care of my cat while I was away and made sure he was not only fed but loved. She is someone I would trust to care for pets and don’t have to worry. Thank you!”


8. Jasmine A.
About: I have had pets for the majority of my life and into adulthood my love for animals has only grown. I have experience with dogs as large as Alaskan Malamutes and as small as a Mini Australian Shepherd. I’ve owned and cared for 2dogs and 4cats all in one time as my own, and am currently a fur mom to two cats. I am currently working full time for a school district but would love to be a reliable source for families who would like to enjoy a break or vacation on my off hours ! I am happy to host potty or crate-trained fur babies that are good with cats and teenagers. My building is pet friendly and I am also open to dog parks if that is a preferred option for pet parents.


9. Stephanie B.
About: Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm new to Rover, but not new to pet care. I've been professionally caring for animals of all kinds since 2017. I am comfortable taking care of all kinds of pets, including those with special medical needs and/or behavioral issues. I have extensive experience walking, making trips to dog parks, and house sitting, as well as training and dispensing medications. I am a full-time professional pet care specialist! I am happy to provide on demand services as needed as well as establish regular walks/visits with new clients. I take safety very seriously when it comes to pet care. I always take care to follow all instructions carefully and keep open communication with the owner to make sure we are on the same page regarding expectations and each individual pet's needs. When entering and exiting a client's home I always make sure all doors and gates are shut and locked to prevent pets from excitedly running outside, and I always double-check to make sure harnesses/collars are attached correctly before starting a walk. My clients over the years have always made sure to thank me for keeping their pets and homes safe and secure while they were away!


10. Victoria G.
“Victoria is an excellent pet caregiver! As a dog owner herself, Victoria not only understands the great amount of care a pet needs, she really does adore animals! When Victoria walked my dog, she was prompt and shared updates to put me at ease. She’s especially great with high energy pets as an avid walker! Definitely recommend and would rebook with Victoria!”


11. Marcia L.

“Marcia was really great! I loved that she took her time to check on our cats, gave them food, and kept them entertained. She was also great with keeping us updated and communicated well. I would definitely hire her again.”


12. Natalie O.

“Natalie took excellent care of my cat! She was very conscientious and I appreciated how detailed her updates were. Made it so much easier to leave the cat!”


13. Rachel M.

“Rachel was a wonderful sitter for our cats! She left us detailed commentaries for each visit and plenty of photos. Additionally, she was very responsive and friendly”


14. Vivian B.
“For the past 16 years Vivian has helped take care of the dogs in my life. Vivian has a huge heart for animals and has shown me through the years just how much she cares not only by walking, feedings, and loving my dogs, but also through rescuing strays and helping lost dogs find their homes. I highly recommend Vivian, she will care for your dog as if they were one of her own.”


15. Shu W.

“Thank you Shu for your help!”


16. Eva L.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was young and I enjoy them a lot. My philosophy is to take care of them just like how I take care of my own. I’m currently in nursing school that’s why I do this as my part-time job. To me, this is also my therapy from school since animals give me peace. I will follow the pet parents’ instructions on how they specifically want their fur babies to be cared of. I will go an extra mile since I also have my own babies and would love to treat my clients’ babies like my own.
17. Stephanie & Michael D.
“Stephanie is extremely caring and in-tune with animals. She always goes above and beyond to make sure my animals are well cared for and healthy.”


18. Kathleen O.
“Dogs love Katie, just as children fall in love with her. We’ve had dogs in our house ever since she was a toddler and lost recently had two at a time for the last 30 years!”


19. Chloe C.
“Chloe did an amazing job taking care of my cat Meow Wu in 2023 and dog Coco while I was on vacation in 2016. Chloe was very attentive and followed all of my instructions carefully. My dog Coco was an older dog and requires medication in her food, and Chloe handled that without any issues. She also kept up with the pets’ schedules and made sure they were comfortable and happy. For my cat Meow Wu who is healthy and active, Chloe made sure to include 30 minutes of daily playtime as I requested, which was wonderful. When I came home, she even provided a detailed note about Meow Wu activities via email or text, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Chloe is a careful and responsible person who clearly loves animals, making her great at what she does. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter! Chloe will always ask questions for everything she’s unsure about. That’s another good quality of a sitter.”
