“Liana took amazing care of our two high maintenance pooches-a senior and a teen who both need medications. They loved her and looked for her after she left. She sent regular pupdates with pictures, reassuring us and keeping us feeling connected while we were out of town. Will definitely book again!”

“Nick was great with our dog! We were nervous about leaving him, he is a recent rescue, but he really took a liking to Nick. Would absolutely book Nick again.”

“We’re hooked! Aolani is an amazing asset to the Rover community. She took phenomenal care of our lil old guy who is 18 years old and has a host of aging dog ailments. Non of that stopped Aolani from providing exceptional, loving care. She truly put my heart and mind at ease while I was away on a trip. I could totally see the light and life in my dogs eyes via the update pictures sent, as a result of him spending quality time with her. I highly recommend Aolani! She is a beautiful spirit with a big, kind, honest heart, and any animal would be blessed to be in her care. Enjoy! 💛”


“Thank you for everything this week! Knowing you are with Cody when we are gone prevents worry and stress. Margaret is always so helpful and on point when we are away and need someone to sit with Cody!”

“My dog and my dad's dog LOVED being with Molly while we were out of town. She was extremely reliable and sent tons of photos and multiple updates per day about their food, walks and naps. I would definitely recommend her. I felt extremely comfortable knowing she was taking care of our dogs.”

About: After nine years in the corporate world at Google, I’ve stepped away to focus on my passions—with animals at the top of the list. My favorite workday moments were always the same: seeing dogs at the office or coming home to my own two. So, transitioning to professional pet care was a natural next step. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses for friends, family, and colleagues. With me, your pet will be treated like a member of my family and, most importantly, receive the highest level of care. Weekday Availability: I am fully available Monday through Friday. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a medication schedule, or consistent check-ins, I have the capacity to be there. Weekend Flexibility: I am available for the vast majority of weekends, so I am here to help when you have travel plans or just need a little extra support during your days off. Safety and comfort always come first, and that starts with understanding your pet and your routine. Because every pet is unique, I tailor my care to their specific needs and your instructions. You can always count on consistent updates with photos, and I am available to address any questions or concerns you may have.
“I will definitely be asking Aech to watch my pup again! I very much appreciated the regular updates on my dog and could tell from the many photos that she was relaxed and happy while staying with Aech, which is not a given for my sometimes anxious dog. Aech did not even blink at my dog’s little eccentricities and special needs, and just happily rolled with punches - highly recommend booking!!”


“Our little guy is a tough one and Sam did great! Reggie is a rescue with a lot of issues and needs medicine regularly. We’ve had other sitters get scared off and not able to give his medicine. Sam was a pro! And by the end of the week, they were actually friends! Def recommend and will use him again.”

“We booked Nicholle for a one-night stay with our pups and really appreciated that she was available last-minute! She sent plenty of photo updates and kept us in the loop, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thanks again for helping out on short notice!”

“Angela was so amazing! She stayed with Murphy & was super attentive with walking and hanging out with him! She was on time & very communicative! She was so kind & respectful of our home, I felt so comfortable with her! Not only did Murphy love her, but I did as well! Highly recommend & we will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Veronica took very good care of my two cats when I was away for 10 days, I’m super grateful that I could enjoy my trip without worrying about them! Will definitely book her again if needed :)”

“Wow! Jeff did an incredible job taking care of my two dogs. I was away for three days, and my pups were truly in great hands. Every walk was completed, and I received numerous photos and updates; the communication was terrific 10/10. Jeff was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly accommodating, especially with one pup who has some special needs and likes to hide under the bed. I’m so grateful for the care and attention given to my girls. Will absolutely book again. Highly recommend- a fantastic dog sitter and person!!!! Thank you, Jeff!”
“Stephanie was a great cat sitter. She really helped us out when another Rover sitter canceled and it was getting closer to our departure. She responded immediately and we set up a meet and greet. All went well and we booked her that day. I didn't manage my time effectively and ended up leaving a small note about staying at our apartment and our cat Meka. No problem, we were able to communicate through text and she just knew what to do anyway. She sent pictures every morning and also extra ones with cute poses. I could see Meka had made a new friend. Our plane got in late and she stayed to make sure the cat was feed. Everything was in order and our plants were even taken care of. Don't hesitate book Stephanie, we would again.”

“I had such a great experience with this sitter! She was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with from the start, which immediately put me at ease. While I was away, she sent me regular updates and photos, which really reassured me that my dog was happy and in good hands. She stayed at my home and took excellent care of everything ,well-kept space. Most importantly, my dog was clearly well cared for, relaxed, and happy. I truly appreciated her attentiveness, reliability, and the genuine care she showed. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”

About: Hello! I discovered my passion for pet care as an auntie to friend' dogs and looking after them, which quickly grew into a thriving, word-of-mouth pet-sitting service built entirely on trust and stellar referrals. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets behind, and my primary goal is to give you total peace of mind. I am highly adaptable and experienced with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to stubborn 80-pound Bulldogs. Pup mamas often tell me they won't leave their doggos with anyone else because of the deep personal attention and kind care I provide. I look forward to giving your dog or cat that same elite level of focus and attention. And of course, sending you plenty of pupdates. I work as a personal fitness trainer, meaning my client sessions are split with natural gaps throughout the day. Because I am only away for short blocks of two to four hours max at a time, I can easily accommodate early morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins. This flexible, active routine allows me to easily fit into your pet's established schedule without long gaps in their care. I am also fully available for overnight house-sitting bookings on weekdays AND weekends, providing your pet with dedicated companionship and structure while you are away. I provide pet care exclusively within the comfort and familiarity of your own home, as I do not host animals in my personal residence. This environment ensures your pet stays relaxed, stress-free, and safe in their own territory without the disruption of changing settings. When house sitting or doing drop-ins, I strictly follow your specific security instructions, ensure all doors and gates remain securely locked, and can easily crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine. And of course, you get regular pup-dates.
“Deirdra was amazing as always!! Constant updates on my boy Cannon and was such a trooper having to deal with a sick pup and accidents during the stay. But despite that she was amazing through it all! I always look forward to having Deirdra stay with my dog Cannon because I know he is being treated with the best love and care! Will absolutely be rebooking with Deirdra!”

Nicolette was wonderful! She took amazing care of our two big dogs while we were away for two weeks. It was the longest time we have been away from our dogs, but we had great peace of mind knowing that Nicolette was caring for our pets. She followed all of our instructions carefully and let us know about any issues. Thank you!!

I can't recommend Genki enough! I needed a dog sitter at the last minute because I had to leave town unexpectedly, and he came through without hesitation. My dogs are very selective about who they like, but they absolutely love Genki. Knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for gave me complete peace of mind. I'll definitely be booking with him again!

Morgan was fantastic with our pets! He kept me well-informed, and asked how much contact and how many pictures I wanted while we were away. He was very communicative and so loving towards our animals. The house was in great shape, better than when we left. He was very respectful towards the animals, the house, everything. Our pets were calm and happy when we returned. I would absolutely book him again! Thank you Morgan!
Keevon was amazing!!! We had just moved and our dog is older, but Keevon took the best care of her and was so sweet and patient about the state of our house after the move. He took amazing pictures and videos that kept us up to date and went above and beyond researching things for her and trying to keep her comfortable. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Elizabeth did a great job with my cat and dog. My dog is a sensitive soul and she was very patient with him. Also, she did great with handling my cat’s health situation and medication, as well as communicating about anything that came up with the pets while I was traveling. She took good care of my place as well and left it in great condition.

Mark is awesome - he had walked Roxy before but this was the first time he pet sat and he stayed at our house taking care of her for 10 days while we were in Japan. We got tons of pictures showing how happy she was (it was very obvious in the pictures), he was super responsible in taking care of the house, all communication was excellent, and we felt really good about how everything was going at home. That peace of mind while on vacation was really important. Would absolutely recommend Mark to anyone!

Brennen is a wonderful sitter! He is kind with a relaxed and responsible vibe and I honestly never worried about my house or my precious critters. One of my dogs was once my foster, and she was stray before coming to me and has lingering anxiety. She needs to be walked on her own so she can be the sole focus and he took this info in stride and took great care of her. He is a prompt and courteous communicator and my pups never missed a beat in their schedule. He treated our home like his own, and we will definitely be booking him again for future sitting/walking needs. Will be leaving a generous tip. Thank you, Brennen!

Piper was great! I received pictures of Trinity daily and she gave me daily updates as well. When I came home my house was in good condition and Piper followed all care instructions, which I truly appreciate. I would definitely rebook with Piper. Highly recommend

Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home for a little over two weeks while caring for our 23-year-old cat, Chloe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Coming home to such a happy, relaxed kitty was the greatest gift. It was obvious Chloe was loved, well cared for, and never felt neglected while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home—it was absolutely immaculate when we returned. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything was in great hands. Brooke is trustworthy, kind, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We would hire her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable house and pet sitter!

Nadya will always be my go-to cat sitter. My cat loves her, and so do I. She is absolutely dependable, and she’s also accommodating to the unexpected changes associated with travel these days. She willingly stayed late last night when I had a flight canceled and another delayed, and I was so very grateful for the peace of mind that afforded me. She is the best!

Paige was so great! We needed a new sitter and we’re so glad we found her. We have 2 dogs (one a little shy) and she stayed with them for a week. They were both happy and healthy when we came home! She sent lots of pictures, was communicative, and our home was tidy when we came back. We’ll definitely use her again!
