“Juliana is an awesome human being who is good with dogs. She dropped in and checked on my dogs this afternoon and kept me updated. My dogs looked very happy in the photos she sent (which tells you something).”
“Joseph took great care of our chickens while we were out of town. He showed up diligently at the same time every day and made sure they had everything they needed. The ladies were happy and healthy when we returned!”
“Arian filled in last minute for a Rover sitter who never showed up. She was professional and reassuringly consistent. She communicated everyday and, when she had questions. She also sent pictures that let me know our older, finicky cats were in capable, caring hands. I would hire her again in a hot minute.”
“Ambar was amazing with our cats! She was not only extremely caring, but also very communicative and took amazing notes and pictures, keeping us up-to-date while we were gone. Even our shy cat, Pintxo was a huge fan of Ambar. We would absolutely have Ambar back to hang with the kitties again!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs and love animals. I’m highly responsible and always give lots of love and attention to the pets in my care. I work in the legal field and work from my home office Monday through Friday. I’m available during the week and some weekends. Your pet will always receive great care in my home. I have a private dog park at my condo that is rarely busy. Your pets can be crated or roam free in my home. They are also allowed to lounge on my large sectional.
About: Hi, I'm Marissa - I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, but especially the big goofy ones (I recently lost my Great Dane to cardiomyopathy). Further, if your border collie needs a running buddy, I'm your person! Helping get dogs physically and mentally fulfilled so they can be their best selves is something I've spent years researching and learning about. I can't wait to meet your pup! I'm currently working part time, and able to take in drop-in visits with fairly short notice. I'm also training for a 10k, so having a four-pawed running buddy would make my runs even better! While I don't offer in-home services, understanding your dogs "vibe" is incredibly important. I know how to take cues from their energy and build up our relationship from there.
“Helene was great! Only a few days before a trip, we had to find a new sitter to visit our cat, Pickles. I requested Helene because of all the great reviews and the close proximity to our house. Helene sent daily pictures and a short report card that helped us feel that Pickles was being well taken care of during our trip.”
“My two cats were in great hands with Khadija. They were well taken care of and the photo updates were reassuring while I was overseas. I came back home to two happy and healthy kitties :) I am definitely satisfied with the care she provided and will be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you!!”
“Thanks so much for watching our kitty, and keeping her happy and fed! We really appreciated all of the updates and pictures. It's reassuring to know she's looked after so well!”
“Christina is an absolute gem! From the moment she met my little puppy Chester, I could tell she truly cared. She’s so dedicated and passionate about what she does, and it shows in every interaction. She goes above and beyond, noticing all the little things Chester likes and does, and she works with him so patiently and lovingly. My baby absolutely adores her, and I have such peace of mind knowing he’s in her hands. I can’t recommend Christina enough—she’s not just a pet sitter, she’s someone who genuinely loves and cares for your fur baby as if they were her own.”
“Laura took great care of our dog. We couldn't ask for someone to be more communicative and thorough, and we felt well-informed. Our dog was very happy and loved seeing Laura, we couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
About: I have taken care of cats for my entire life. I have raised my first cat from kittenhood, and have cared for my parents cat for the better part of ten years. I have also cared for my parents' dogs, both their elderly doxie and bulldog puppy. I promise to care for your cat or dog with the same level of care I have given to all the pets I have cared for over my entire life. I am available all week round. I run my own business from home; I am happy to visit your cat or dog whenever is best for you and your pet. When you schedule with me to check in on your pet, your pet is my priority. If you have any concerns, I will be sure to address them. If I bring any treats with me, I will ensure that they are vetted by you and your pet. But most of all, I will make sure that your cat or dog is just as happy and healthy when I leave as can be.
“Ilana has been checking in our dog, Bentley, during weekdays since January. She's been very reliable, easy to communicate with, and we can tell that she ensures our buddy gets exercise and love! Would highly recommend her. Thanks Ilana!”

Caroline was a wonderful caregiver for our cat, Mila. She was caring and attentive to our cat's needs. We loved getting her pictures everyday, they captured Mila's personality perfectly. It was clear from the photos that Mila readily greeted Caroline and felt comfortable with her. Out cat is a messy eater but her feeding area was very clean when we came home. Because of Caroline, we were able to enjoy our vacation worry-free. We definitely would want her take care of Mila next time we are away.
We had an amazing experience with Teffni! She cared for our lab and three cats for 9 days and went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, responsive to messages, and kept us updated with lots of great pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly well-loved and cared for. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and will absolutely book with Teffni again!
Victoria was so great with my kitties. This was our first time using Rover and she put me at ease. She was patient and caring with our slow to warm fur babies and by the end of the week had multiple play sessions with them. There was a good amount of communication and daily pictures for us to enjoy. She even agreed to check in with our red-eyed tree frogs! Thanks to Victoria (and kids) for giving our cats love while we were on vacation!
Christina is an absolute gem! From the moment she met my little puppy Chester, I could tell she truly cared. She’s so dedicated and passionate about what she does, and it shows in every interaction. She goes above and beyond, noticing all the little things Chester likes and does, and she works with him so patiently and lovingly. My baby absolutely adores her, and I have such peace of mind knowing he’s in her hands. I can’t recommend Christina enough—she’s not just a pet sitter, she’s someone who genuinely loves and cares for your fur baby as if they were her own.
Alex was exceptional with caring for my dog, Beren! She was super communicative throughout the process. Sent great updates and photos each day. And most importantly, it was clear from our first meeting that Beren naturally liked her and was excited to see her. He normally has trouble eating for the first couple days when I am away, but he felt comfortable and safe enough with Alex that it didn't affect his appetite at all. Will definitely use her services going forward!
