Mariela was amazing! She dropped by to take care of our dog Kobe and did a fantastic job. She was reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs and Kobe absolutely loved her. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter. 🐾

Maricela did drop in visits for us while we were on a cruise. It was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. She was super responsive to messages and always checking in. I have such a hard time leaving our pets for vacation but she made that part of the trip so easy for us. I would refer her to anyone who needed pet sitting services. I can’t thank her enough.

Did a great job caring for my cat. Didn't require a prior meeting and greet and followed my texted care instructions with no problems. Also brought in packages that were delivered without being asked, very appreciated.

About: I had a dog in my childhood home, have a cat now as an adult. Constantly spending time at rescues with dogs and cats. As well as looking into veterinary profession so I have clinic experience as well. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I make it a priority to give every pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain a clean and secure environment, and pay close attention to each pet's unique needs and behavior. With experience in animal rescue and veterinary settings, I am comfortable recognizing concerns and ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

Jennifer is an incredible sitter! We have had her watch our cat Charlie a few times and she goes above and beyond for him while we are away! She brings extra toys and sends the best photos of him and treats him like a pet or her own. We would recommend Jennifer over and over again

About: I’m a dependable, friendly dog walker who focuses on safe, consistent care and reading each dog’s individual needs. I’m great with routine-based care and keeping dogs calm, happy, and well-exercised. Full-time job with flexible WFH schedule, home in evenings and available for daily walks and care. Grew up with Labs, Golden Retrievers, Yorkies, Goldendoodles and German Wirehaired Pointers :) I care for pets like they’re my own and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their personality and needs. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and secure. I also provide updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Paula was great with our 2 pups. She did a meet and greet beforehand which was so nice! She was fantastic with them and brought over games to help engage them during her visits. The picture and notes after each visit were detailed and made us feel better about leaving our pups home knowing they were well taken care of.

About: I've spent my whole life with animals, from dogs and cat, to reptiles and rodents. I love them all. I've cared for a number of friends and families fur babies over the years. I am a reliable caregiver who treats every pet like my own. Whether your pup loves long adventures or slow sniff-filled strolls, I make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I've cared for senior dogs and have experience with basic medication administration. I work in a school, so I have my summer wide open to care for your pets while you're away! I can be extremely flexible as long as I have advanced notice of your needs! When with your pets, I will treat them as my own and make sure all of their needs are met. I will make sure to respect your home and leave it in the same or better condition as when you left!

Lia is great!! I have two dogs, one of whom is reactive, and she was completely understanding and willing to work with her. I was super nervous about it, but her knowledge and experience with dogs put my mind at ease super quick. My dogs LOVED her right away, and were so happy to walk with her. 10/10 recommend!
