“Candice did a wonderful job caring for my three cats. She was very communicative and sent tons of pictures, which is helpful for an anxious cat owner like myself. I would highly recommend her.”


“McKaila was a perfect sitter for my cat while I was away for a week! I came home and my cat was happy and content, which is always a great sign. McKaila even went above and beyond by taking out the trash, vacuuming up cat litter, and cleaning all pet dishes and spoons. It was lovely to come back to a clean home!”


“Sidun arrived and took great care of my dog Hunter. He is a puppy and I need some help while I am transitioning back to office. She was very patient, kind, and understanding since Hunter is still a puppy and prone to accidents. She sent me updates and I felt he was in great care. She is very trustworthy and I would recommend her highly.”


About: Hello! I have significant experience in caring for both dogs and cats, regularly helping friends and family with pet sitting. I run a small dog-focused business, so I understand the importance of keeping pets happy and healthy. You can rely on me to keep your pet safe, entertained, and well-stimulated while you're away. I'll also provide regular updates for your peace of mind. As I work from home, I have ample time to care for pets. My routine allows for regular walks and playtime, ensuring your dog gets the attention and care they need. I ensure pets have a safe and fun environment with activities like chew toys, puzzles, and games. Or, whatever your pet prefers activity wise :)

“Sandy was amazing with our cat while we were away for Christmas! She followed all of our instructions and communicated with us the entire time we were away. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. She sent us the cutest pictures too. It was so nice to be on vacation and not have to worry. We will definitely be booking again!”


About: Hello! I live in an extremely clean and comfortable apartment, with 24/7 doormen. I am available full-time to take care of your dog. I am seriously an animals-lover - they honestly make me so happy and I am so excited to have the opportunity to take care of your dog. I have taken care of 3 pets by myself including a dog and two cats for 16+ years. Two of them have passed, which is one reason why I treasure each time I spend time with animals. I always take time out of my day to give them a lot of love and attention. They are part of my family, and I treat them with great care, and I will definitely love your dog in the same way. Because I am available full-time working from home, I am able to provide dog boarding and doggy daycare. I live with my boyfriend who also works from home, therefore, he and I are going to give a lot of attention to your dog :) Throughout the stay, I will make sure to feed your dog, play with your dog, take your dog for potty breaks, and give all my love and attention :)

We will absolutely be requesting Mingyun again to cat sit in the future!”

About: Get $20 off for your first Rover booking with my code: DIANEJ75533 (https://www.rover.com/sit/dianej75533) I’ve taken care of my own dog back at my parents home since 2009, and have dog sat and walked for local clients, friends and family! I’ve fed, walked, played with, bathed, and groomed dogs before, and looking to pick up pet sitting now that I’m in the city (I miss my dog back home!) Once you book, we’ll have a meet and greet for me to meet and ask questions about your pup’s habits and quirks, feeding and walking schedule, any special instructions - and I’ll be taking notes along the way so I don’t forget anything and can keep a record for future visits. I also guarantee daily updates via text once or more a day with photos of where we adventured. I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pups. I’m available for boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, and walks most weekdays and some weekends. I live in a 1 bedroom in a high rise apartment with a doorman and elevator so your pup will be safe and sound. My partner and I are homebodies so we will be home most of the time to take great care of your pet. Happy to take your dog around the neighborhood and to local parks! My friends also love dogs so if you’re comfortable with it, I like to bring the dog on my daily adventures as well.


About: Hi! My name is Camille, and I have owned dogs for most of my life. I am well used to caring for them from puppy to senior, and am familiar with many sizes and breeds. My first priority is the needs of your dog, and I will put them first- for example, if they are more high energy, I’m happy to take them out for longer on a new route to make sure they have a good time. I have handled many sizes, temperaments, and breeds of dogs, and can deal with a number of different individualities such as pulling, high prey drive, or dog aggression. I love dogs, and I would love the opportunity to meet yours! I work from home three days a week with flexibility on choosing when that is. I have a large living room with a dog park right outside my window. I have no other pets with a large open living room and kitchen. The safety of your pet comes first and I always carefully supervise the pets under my watch. I have a dog park right outside my window which is often empty throughout the day in case your dog doesn’t like other animals and a number of beautiful populated dog parks and parks within 10 minutes walk. I love to care for pets and will be flexible to their needs.

“Carena has taken care of my 2 cats while I was gone for vacation. She is very professional, attentive and responsive. My cats always have a hard time getting to know new people, but they love her. I'll definitely rebook again in the future.”


“Xiaohui has been phenomenal in looking after my Border Collie puppy, Max. Her updates are consistent and filled with cute pictures and videos, giving me confidence that Max is in good hands. I highly recommend Xiaohui to anyone seeking top-quality care for their furry friend.”


About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life— grew up with pups and often dog-sat for neighbors. Caring for dogs comes naturally and brings me joy! I will always care for your dog as if they were my own. I work a consistent full time job from 8-5, Monday through Friday. Typically available anytime outside of those work hours— happy to help in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I care for them in the neighborhoods and routines they know best, and I will always treat your home with respect and care.
