Carolyn was great! She loved Oppy, sent pictures of her playing with him daily, and he was happy as could be when I came back! She was also very flexible and understanding with the timing of when to come see Oppy and some confusion due to me having old kitten food still out. I really appreciate her communicativeness and understanding as I guided her to the correct food to use. Would definitely recommend as a cat sitter!

Bernadette is amazing!!! It was my first time using Rover and first time having a stranger watch my pet rabbit. I was very worried about having someone in my apartment when I was away and very worried about my rabbit. Bunnies are very sensitive animals, and I can confidently say that she knows how to care for a rabbit!! I also find her very trustworthy! She did drop-ins to care for him. I left long, detailed instructions. Bernadette took the time to read and follow them all, which is super kind and amazing. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative throughout my time being away. I am so thankful I found her and am thankful for how she treated my bunny. It was a very easy smooth process. I will definitely use her for all my rabbit needs, and would highly recommend her for anyone!!!!

Valerie is fantastic! I had to reach out for a last minute drop-in visit and she was not bothered by it at all. She asks great questions to follow any instructions you may leave, and remembered everything even with her arriving to a new place within the hour. My puppies didn’t get the chance to meet her prior, but loved having her stop by and play with them. Loved the pictures too! Highly recommend☺️

Fernan has always been reliable when caring for my dog Teddy. We ask him to look after him every time we go on vacation, and we always return to our dog in the same happy and healthy shape. We'll always go to Fernan when it comes to walking and caring for our dog.

Hello. I personally know Melissa Kehoe as a dedicated, responsible pet parent. She is deeply affectionate towards her own pets and it was a very cool coincidence that her dog and my dog had the very same name. She lovingly treats her own pets as her own children and goes out of her way to ensure their happiness, safety and well-being. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to be a responsible dog owner.

About: I love dogs, I understand how important they are for you so I will take care of them like are they are mine. I am very affectionate and caring myself so I will for sure be careful with your pet. I am also very active and playful hence that makes me the person who will run your dog and keep him happy and playing. I do not have professional experience but i have been around dogs all my life and they have been happy. My neighbors and friends leave their dog with me when they go out on trips and stuff. Apart from all the dog stuff, i go to San Francisco State University for Journalism and Women & Gender Studies. Live in the city with my friends and part time work at the library. I am currently working part-time so I have a lot of availability for the remainder of this year. I am also flexible with arranging my availability. I am able to keep your pets safe during walks and sittings. There are several fenced dog parks in my area and a safe area for them to play in my building.

Paige was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond in all ways when taking care of my kitties, giving detailed updates every day with plenty of photos. She adapted to their individual personalities and care styles and did it all with a kind and friendly attitude. They absolutely fell in love with her! Leaving my babies behind for so long for the first time was definitely scary, but I am so happy to say that I could relax knowing Paige was there to take care of them. I will definitely be booking with Paige again next time I need a sitter!

Chris has stayed with my cats several times and always takes really good care of them. They're happy and healthy when I get home, and I don't have to worry at all while traveling. He is a big dog lover, too, taking care of a friend's dog, and always sending me pictures of a happy dog doing happy things in the park!

About: I've raised dogs from puppyhood and so have experience in caring and working with pups across all ages. I currently WFH full-time and so am able to give your pet the love and enrichment they deserve, whether it's cuddles on the couch or long walks (or runs!) around the city. I like to focus my care down to one pet at a time, hence single-slot day care and boarding setup; if your pet likes to be the only one in the household, then they will be comfortable in my care. I currently WFH full-time and so am available for a wide range of pet care, from a daily walk to overnight boarding. On any given day, I can provide at-home care while integrating a few walks (long or short, depending on your pet's needs!) throughout the day. I am happy to flex my schedule to help provide your pet as consistent of a routine as you would like. When I have a pet over, I'll be home the entire time to ensure your pet is safe in my home. If I'm going to your home, I'll work with you to determine what's most ideal with your pet. Regardless of the situation, I will be sure to send photos often! I live by myself in a 2-bedroom apartment and so am happy to let your pet free roam in my home, unless you have any particular restrictions or prefer to enforce their crate training. I do live in a 4-floor walkup, so please let me know in advance if your pet has trouble with stairs. Happy to carry a smaller pet up/down stairs if they need some help.

About: I’ve had a dog since i was 10. Taking care of animals is something I am use to doing. Loving them is something i chose. And working for them and helping make sure others are taken care of as well, is something I love to do ! I currently am not working, taking care of my almost 2 year old pitbull. I am constantly playing with him, walking him so adding more dogs to my routine will only make me a better dog mom as well! My backyard is fenced off and as far as the clients homes I will do whatever is necessary to ensure the dogs safety as well as others !
