“James is phenomenal. Calm, caring, extremely trustworthy and reliable. I can’t say enough good things. He even took the time for a pre-visit to come and meet us and get the lay of the land prior to our trip. Really grateful for James!”


“Thanks for taking care of my babies”


“We were very happy with Erika’s services!! Would definitely recommend her! She was very communicative and shared lots of pictures with us during her visit visits with our Buster! We knew Buster was in good hands with Erika! 10/10”


“Kimberly is very responsible. She has a dog of her own which she cares and loves for very much. She has a lot passion for animals, especially man’s best friend. She’s been our unofficial walker for my fur babies for years and there isn’t anybody else I would trust more.”

“If I could give Kevin S. more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment he stepped into our home to take care of our beloved furry family members, Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis, I knew we had found the perfect pet sitter. His dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals were evident from the very beginning. Gracie, our senior king charles spaniel, requires special attention and medication due to her age-related health issues. Kevin took the time to listen carefully to our instructions and followed them meticulously. He ensured Gracie received her medications on time and was always there to provide the extra support and comfort she needed. It was heartwarming to see the bond that developed between Kevin and Gracie during his stay. Hudson, our playful and energetic beagle, can be quite a handful, but Kevin managed him with ease and patience. He took Hudson on long walks, played fetch tirelessly, and ensured he got the exercise he needed to stay happy and healthy. We received regular updates with photos and videos of Hudson having a blast with Kevin, which reassured us that our boy was in great hands. Wallis, our mischievous little cat, can be a bit standoffish with new people, but she seemed to warm up to Kevin faster than we anticipated. He must have a magic touch with felines because Wallis was often found snuggled up next to him, which is something she rarely does with anyone else. What truly sets Kevin apart is his genuine love and care for animals. It was evident that he treated Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis as if they were his own. He went above and beyond in ensuring their comfort and happiness while we were away. Not only did he take care of their physical needs, but he also provided the love and attention they needed to feel secure in our absence. We were initially worried about leaving our fur babies behind while going on vacation, but Kevin's professionalism and compassion quickly put our minds at ease. We could relax knowing that they were in the best hands possible. Kevin kept our home tidy and even watered our plants without us asking, showing his thoughtfulness and responsibility. Upon our return, we could tell that Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis were well taken care of and had formed a strong bond with Kevin. They were happy and content, and we are forever grateful to him for providing such a positive pet-sitting experience. In conclusion, Kevin Sabo is a true gem of a pet sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking someone trustworthy and loving to care for their furry family members. Gracie, Hudson, Wallis, and we, their humans, couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thank you, Kevin, for everything you did for our precious pets! We'll definitely be reaching out to you for future pet sitting needs.”


“Kellie, is the dream dog walker and care provider. She has a very kind, calm demeanor. She’s always joking around and singing to my dogs, too. They LOVE her (haha sometimes I get “paranoid” but she assures me she is the nanny and I am still mom!). One of my dogs barks at pretty much anything. Kellie has been able to keep her focused and calm until the distraction passes, quite impressive! She’s fabulous.”

“Anna and Tyler have the best backyard for dogs. Mine loves running around and exploring everything, she comes back to me happy and exhausted as any good stay should end!”

“Todd has been around, and owned dogs, his entire life. Todd's compassion and careful care for his pets have always been his top priority. As a huge dog lover, and multiple dog owner myself, I would trust Todd to care care of my 4-legged babies anytime. His home is a smoke free and safe environment, which would be an ideal situation for your beloved dog when you need someone to care for them. See for yourself, and book a stay!”
“Maggie has taken beautiful care of my beloved Italian Greyhound for the last several years. My dog loves staying with Maggie. Maggie really loves dogs and even prepares home cooked meals for precious Pia. Maggie is very flexible and works with me when I have last-minute business trips and need help. Regards, Joe and Pia”


About: I have had dogs and all sorts of pets my whole life! I love animals and my family has always said that pets love me. I make sure that each pet gets the care, attention, and exercise it needs. I want your pet to feel like I am their awesome uncle. I have been taking care of pets for 14 years and plan in doing it for a long time. I have a flexible work schedule, so I have a lot of availability. I know how to administer medications and pay attention to details. I’m good with older pets as they have a special place in my heart. I am very patient and responsible. I do love exercise, so if you have a dog that needs a long walk, a good run, or to be tired out playing catch, I am happy to do that! I am also happy to keep your older or shy pet company too. I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and would love to help. I am happy to take care of your precious pet in the place that is least stressful for them. I have a sweet older dog who is really good with other dogs, and I am happy to come to your home or take your dog to the park too.

About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I started watching my family friend’s and mutual’s furbabies and I love it! I’ve been caring for pets other than my own for about 3 years now. I am not working a job at the time so I am pretty open as long as I have some time in advance to clear! I feel very comfortable in going in to other people’s houses while respecting their space and caring for the animals according to their schedules. I have done this for several people before!

About: Looking for warmth in Palm Springs as I care for your dog and work remote from my law firm. In Minnesota we have a wonderful puppy that we would love to have a friend play with during the day and have sleepovers. My husband and I love having dogs and look forward to treating your dog like he or she is our own. I work from home full time as a Paralegal and my husband is home Monday and Fridays. I update my weekend availability as soon as I have my travel schedule. We have a fenced yard where Dodger, our young dog loves to run around. Having a playmate would be great for him. We are a smoke-free, clean home. We have two boys, ages 13 and 15, who also love playing with other dogs. Please let us know what we can do to make your puppy as comfortable in our home as he would be in yours.

“Jenhean is one of those rare people who has artistic and creative talent, is a ball of fun and joy, and ALSO is incredibly responsible and reliable with executive functioning skills to boot. Jenhean and I met when she was one of the main organizers of an acclaimed theater production in Los Angeles, but we got to know each other more while she has been managing my unique tiny home-laden property with great care in Joshua Tree, CA area. I am a mom to a 16-month-old vizsla who adores Jenhean. She's a magical person around whom animals flock, like a Disney princess. Animals are naturally drawn to her because she has a warm yet assertive presence. While I've been gone getting medical treatment and being cared for by family, she has checked in regularly and put my mind at ease while I know she's been doing laundry, watering plants, welcomed overnight visitors, and even managing problems as they come up, like broken appliances, with ease and skill. The same skills would absolutely apply to her being a perfect choice on Rover. You will not regret getting to know Jenhean and entrusting her with your precious family member(s).”

“Monica watched / walked my dog for 3 weeks. She was so friendly and loving to my dog. I highly recommend her. If you need someone to take care of your precious pet, Monica is your gal.”

“Terah watched my two Chihuahua mix puppies while I was out of town for a couple of days. Because they are still pretty young and very excitable, they can be a bit of a handful to take care of. However, I was very pleased with the attention and care Terah gave my little babies; they love her too! I would highly recommend Terah for your pet-sitting needs!”

“Gabriella is one of the most intentional, kind-hearted, loving and caring people you could ever hope to meet. She has an amazing way with both animals and humans and both would be lucky to get to spend some time with her. Gabriella puts love into everything she does. She is reliable, dedicated and loyal. You would be missing out not to work with her and I feel so lucky that I got to! She is THE BEST!”

“Julian has done great taking care of our rather difficult German Shepherd on several occasions. He is a lovely person and I trust him to care for any of our animals.”


“Julie is fantastic. She took great care of our gal Mesa for an afternoon while Mom and Dad were playing in the mountains. She clearly loves dogs, both hers and others, and is a pleasure to meet and work with. We will certainly use her again when an all-day adventure comes calling next. Thanks Julie!!!”
