Michael was an amazing surrogate while I was away for work. He walked, played with and generally loved my Paco and that’s exactly what I wanted. Michael does not disappoint. It was a comfort to me and alleviated any concerns so that I was able to function and focus on my work without any worries about my best pet-friend. I highly recommend Michael and will definitely call him should I need such a service again. I can’t say enough good about him! He also sent pictures twice a day which were the highlight of my day. Thanks and very big kudos to Michael!

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found Hsiujen for my beloved furry friend. From the moment I dropped off my dog, I knew he was in the best hands possible. Hsiujen not only provided exceptional care for my pet but also showered him with love and attention. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dog felt comfortable and happy during his stay. From regular walks to playtime and cuddles, it was evident that she treated him as if he were her own. One of the things I appreciated the most was the peace of mind she gave me throughout the entire dogsitting experience. She maintained open communication, providing updates and photos regularly, which eased any worries I had about leaving my dog behind. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I would highly recommend Hsiujen to anyone in need of a caring and reliable dogsitter. Knowing that my pet is in her care gives me the freedom to travel without hesitation, knowing he's in the best possible hands. Thank you, Hsiujen, for your outstanding service and for treating my furry friend like family. You're not just a dogsitter; you're a true gem for both pets and their owners. Warm regards, Scott

I feel so lucky that Sherree accepted my booking request! My experience with her from start to finish over 10 days was literally perfect. My cat can be difficult but I really feel like Sherree caught onto her personality and vibe right away and took the absolute best care of her. The photos and videos she shared were super heartwarming while I was away and missing home. The icing on the cake was what great care she took with my home, keeping everything neat, watering the plants, and all around being a fantastic guest. I look forward to booking my next travel plans and will be checking her calendar before I do anything to make sure she’s available to care for MK :)

Tosha was so good with my son’s cat. She went above and beyond to make sure Peach was comfortable, well-fed and her litter box was always clean. Tosha sent us regular updates and spent extra time playing with Peach (or petting her as her mood dictated.) It gave us so much peace of mind to know Peach was well taken care of. We hope Tosha’s available the next time Peach needs a sitter.

Gwin is one of those special sitters who not only did a great job with my two cats, but who almost immediately captured the heart of my one cat who normally hides from anyone new. I’m very grateful that I was able to go out of town and not worry about my cats because they were in her care. Thanks, Gwin!

This was my first time using Rover. Neil is awesome. I needed to book a dog sitter last minute and he responded to my inquiry right away and was super communicative and kept me updated and sent me a pic of my dog. I would def book him again.

Iris has been dog sitting Frankie in my apartment for a while now and she’s been my first and only choice ever since day one! Frankie is a nervous dog but he immediately loved Iris and she loves him too so I feel great leaving him with her looking after him. She’s really flexible as my job as a nanny and student means my days are never the same. I recently went away on vacation and decided to have Frankie stay with Iris at her house and she’s sent so many photos and videos I can tell he’s having the best time and he’s being so well looked after! He loves being with her and it means I can feel happy knowing he’s safe and with someone who really loves him! Recommend 10000000% !!!

About: I understand the value animals have in our world, especially as pets. I respect the bond between animal and owner more than I can describe. I will always do my best and hardest to ensure that the animal I am entrusted with is respected, valued and cared for the way they deserve to be. I have experience in caring for dogs in training, elderly, sickly and even stray! I am currently open to all schedules. I can provide care as early as 5am to as late as 10pm (this time is subject to needs, length and travel distance). If care within my home is needed, this will have to be discussed. But I have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment with a lot of breathing room for dogs. I recently lost my dog if 14 years but he had a space all to his own, this is suitable for small to medium dogs. I do have a rabbit, but accommodations can be made to keep both animals safe and comfortable.

Gabby is a lifesaver. She is incredible with animals. I am frequently out of town on weekends, and Gabby is the only person I'll call. I have used many services before, and they are always subpar. My Silkie loves Gabby. She never comes home stressed or sick. Gabby gives me updates and my baby is always happy. I would only recommend Gabby to anyone in need of a dogsitter. She is a gem!

I was so grateful to Julia as soon as I saw my Dream refreshed and disciplined. I could see at once how much affection and sincere care Julia gave to my Dream. My Dream wasn't in happy mood in the past after she was separated from me for a few days. However I was surprised to see my Dream without any separation anxiety this time. She became very happy and at the same time behaved calmly. While I was sad about not being able to travel due to difficulty to have a fit pet sitter for Dream, I'm so relieved now to leave my Dream with Julia in the near future.

I’m grateful for Carmen’s check-ins on my cats… They were a bit shy, so she didn’t get to love on them, but I know they appreciated her making sure they were taken care of while I was away. And her updates reassured me that everything was fine. Thanks, Carmen!

Nellysa is a lifesaver!!! Had to go on an emergency trip for a couple of days and couldn't take my Labrador. Didn't have a lot of time to prepare and hit her up the very same day of the trip and she responded. Was extremely polite and understanding of my situation and went to pick up my dog in the blink of an eye. I could tell my dog loved Nellysa by how happy he looked with her when I went to pick him up. I absolutely recommend Nellysa 10/10 times!!!
