“Kelsey was always on time which is very important to me. She responds promptly to my texts and is easygoing and accomondating. Excellent experience after so many disappointing ones.”


2. Tenielle M.


“Tenielle was reliable, warm, great with the pups, and excellent when it came to communicating any questions or concerns we had. She stayed with our two labradoodles, one of whom is rather mischievous, and we found no chewed socks, paper, etc... when we returned home. She followed our instructions to the "T". We would definitely use her again.”

7. Connor F.
“I've known Connor Forte for years, having gone through both our bachelor's and master's programs together, and I can confidently say he is one of the most hardworking and compassionate people I know. His dedication to both people and animals is truly remarkable. He fostered a couple of cats and provided them with such loving and attentive care, ensuring they had a safe and nurturing environment. That same level of patience, kindness, and responsibility extends to every aspect of his life. Whether it's caring for animals, supporting friends, or just being there when he is needed, Connor’s reliability and warmth make him someone you can always trust. His ability to connect with others and his strong work ethic ensure that he provides safe, loving care and an outstanding experience for everyone he interacts with.”


8. Jane P.

“Jane was so amazing, caring and meticulous with caring for our 2 dogs (one of which is a senior dog). She sent us detailed updates, photos and videos which giving us peace of mind when we were away on vacation. She left our house cleaner than the way we left it. I am so happy we found a great caretaker for our pups after many failed attempts. Jane was our saving grace and we look forward to using her again! If you would like to hear more about our sit I'm happy to be a referral, she was that good!”


9. Claudia W.
“I’ve known Claudia for over 20 years and she is an excellent pet sitter: responsible, caring and attentive. She has cared for my dog, Ally, and on occasion, my children when they were younger. I trust her completely. You can definitely leave your pet in Claudia’s care and know that your pet will be cared for and have lots of attention too.”


10. Danielle A.

“Danielle was great with our senior dog! We have never left our dog with anyone but our family before and it was impossible this time so we used Rover for the first time, and Danielle was highly recommended through her ratings, and she was fantastic. She took care of her dog and good care of her house and we would definitely use her again thanks, Danielle.”

14. Nicki D.

“Nicki is great! She stayed in communication with me and sent pictures! She asked thoughtful questions, and was flexible/adaptable with our particular needs. My kitty loves her, and she was very warm and professional. We would definitely book with her again in the future!”


15. Maria M.
“Maria is a friend who helped me take care of my dog about two years ago when I had to travel. She made sure he was fed, gave him his vitamins, brushed him, and took him out for walks twice a day. Ever since I’ve known her, she’s always had pets—sometimes two or three at the same time. She even loves feeding stray animals, and if it were up to her, she’d rescue them all. That’s why I’m sure she’d be an amazing pet sitter!”




16. Kevin H.

“Kevin took great care of my two frenchies while I was travelling. One has special needs and both take a number daily medications and Kevin handled it all perfectly. They also have allergies and special dietary requirements and were happy and healthy when I got home. Kevin kept me updated with cute pictures everyday and was great to work with! My apt was also left neat and tidy! Thanks so much Kevin! Will definitely rebook for our next trip!”


17. Natalia V.
About: Hi, I'm Natalia and I love animals. I have grown up with my own dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. Even birds too. Taking care of them is taking care of your family. So I will be sure your pet(s) have everything they need while in my care. And will be treated with the same love, kindness, and affection as I do with my dogs and cats. I will always check if the pavement outside is too hot for their paws on sunny days and if it's also too cold/salted on other days to avoid harm to their paws. I do not have experience with newborn puppies, but I am a quick learner if given a chance. I'm currently a freelancer, so my schedule is flexible daily. Any time of day throughout the seasons, I'm available to aid in caring for the pets in your lives. While I'm not accepting other people's pets within my home, I'm open to caring for your pets in their safe space. Just like us, they have a routine, which I would be happy to learn and follow.


18. Stephanie C.

“Stephanie was great. Great with the dog and great at staying in communication with me.”


19. Jaymie J.

“Her communication was great and dogs seemed very happy with her.”

About: Friends and family call me titi sammy. I watch and take care of everyone’s kids! Dogs are our kids too :) I’d be more than happy to help you! I am currently working from home.
