“Took excellent care of our 2 fur babies over the holiday weekend and for a 10 day trip and I felt so at ease. She never complained even though we have a dog with IVDD who requires special care. My dogs can be stubborn but clearly were cared for with love while I was away.”


“Raj was an amazing dog sitter! He took great care of Saint, providing plenty of walks, playtime, and updates with pictures. It was clear that he truly cares for animals and treats them like his own. Communication was easy, and I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Raj again in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Gabriela and Maidely were wonderful to work with. They were punctual and communicative. They took great care of our cats while we were away and I would definitely recommend them as sitters!”


“Dong was so great! He was super responsive and communicative ahead of the booking and during, and took lots of photos during each drop-in. Dong's professionalism made it so much less stressful to leave my <1 yr old cat for a few days - thank you, Dong!”


“Julia did an amazing job caring for our kitties while we were away. She took the time to check in on each of our cats, even the one who usually hides from everyone, as well as sending us plenty of photo updates.😆 We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking again!”



“Thank you Jessica for taking care of our cat again during our trip! This is the second time that Jessica helped to take care of our cat and it’s continue to be a pleasure! Jessica would send us lots of photos and videos during the visit and she is very caring and pay attention to details. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone who want their cat to be taken good care of! Thank you Jessica!”


“Sarah came to my rescue when I need a dog-sitter last minute after moving into the area. She sent photos and updates, and was responsive and flexible when my dog’s feeding plans changed. Definitely recommend!”



“Jordy and I are so lucky to have found Jazmin. My little old man has dementia and knowing Jazmin went thru that with her pup reassured me she was the best match. She cleans up with Jordy has accidents and is so flexible and accommodating when my schedule changes. I love reading the reviews she sends, it helps me plan the rest of the evening with my baby boy. Lastly, I feel at ease at work knowing Jordy has the best dog sitter looking after him with so much love and patience. Highly recommend booking her for your baby. Just dont take our time slots, lol! 💓🐶💓”


“Kathleen is amazing; not only did she make sure our cat was well fed and his basic needs were taken care of, but she also took the time to give him the affection and attention he craved. A joy to work with. Highly recommend!”


“Alexandra was amazing and so sweet! She took care of our three cats and made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely be requesting her for any future trips. Highly recommended!!”


“Eric did a great job with my 4 cats. Eric did drop in visits 2x a day for 5 days for my babies and absolutely took the time to get to know them and their quirks. I have an elderly cat who needs medication and felt completely secure that she was getting the care that she needed with Eric. I have two younger cats that have socialization issues and Eric was not afraid of them. He engaged my under-socialized cats gladly and I was so happy to come home to find they had not regressed in their behavior. In fact, I believe they became braver and better as a result of receiving care from Eric. Eric is truly fantastic and I high recommend him!”


“Emily came to my rescue very last minute when other arrangements fell through. She was extremely responsive, detailed, and calmed all of my nerves. My babies aren’t used to having others care for them but Emily came and spent time with us to fix that. I would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I grew up with both cats and dogs. I love animals and take excellent care of them. My mom was a wildlife rehabilitator too so we also had squirrels, rabbits, and even a raccoon at one point! I primarily do pet care on the weekends now but occasionally available other days. Send me a message if you need someone and I’ll see what I can do! If I confirm a booking, I will be there! I am incredibly respectful of other people's things and try to leave things as if I was never there (except for your happy and relaxed pet, of course!).

“I am a repeat client with Mercedes, and I wouldn't trust my baby with anyone else! It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I am an over-protective cat parent, so I get nervous whenever I have to leave her overnight. Mercedes is so communicative though, I always feel confident that my kitty is very well taken care of. She goes above and beyond playing and petting to make sure she doesn't get too lonely or bored while I am away. On top of all that, Mercedes takes great pictures, which maybe isn't important to kitty, but definitely makes me as an owner feel better when I'm missing her.”


About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals. At one point, I wanted to become a veterinarian. I understand that when caring for pets you must be patient, kind, attentive and knowledgeable. Over the last few years, I’ve watched pets for friends, family, neighbors. I am on Rover to work with pet owners in my area (or in a decent vicinity) who are in need of some extra help. While in my care, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, secured and being treated with love. Explore my profile and let’s connect! I am currently not working so I have flexibility to lean into my side job with pet care. If our availabilities align I would be happy to assist with your pet care needs. **Please be sure to fully READ my rates and availability times listed before booking** (HOUSE SITTING, DROP-IN VISITS or BOARDING) Whether I’m at a client’s house or caring for a pet in my home I will ask them to thoroughly walk me through their routine with their pet. What are the do’s and dont’s as far as house rules, feeding and walk schedules when caring for that pet(s). If a client brings their pet to my home, I will make sure my apartment is “child-proof” so the pet’s safety is ensured. Most importantly, I will make sure I have a few familiar items at my place that’s from the owner’s home so their pet can get comfortable. For Drop-in visits, please let me know if you would like me to feed them.

“Exceeded our expectations is an understatement! From the day we met with Mia, we were delighted by her passion for animals and her willingness to follow our dogs “not so easy” daily routine. Mia really cared about keeping us at ease while away and this was evident through her punctuality, daily updates, and photos. Mia is truly an amazing soul and she made it possible for us to have a worry free vacation. Benji is missing her already so we are going to have to book her again for a play date. :) Conclusion, if you are looking for a trust worthy mature young woman to take care of your dog, Mia is hands down the best in the biz and we are glad to now call her a friend.”
