1. Darnell M.

“We were so glad to have Darnell watch our senior kitties over the holidays again. He goes above and beyond, and we came home to happy, healthy kitties who'd been well cared for. Thanks, Darnell, for being our go-to catsitter!”


2. Megan R.

“Megan was a great dog sitter. She was able to do drop-ins with only two days notice. She arranged her visits for three dogs staying at my house. She seemed to get along well with our dogs and got them outside and fed. I’d recommend Megan to other pet owners.”


3. Jamie L.

“Jamie has been wonderful with Millie. After her visits, she has left detailed messages regarding her drop-in including an update on how Millie was doing. Jamie has also been very responsive when it came to scheduling as well as respecting Millie's old lady quirks.”




4. Martha L.


“Martha took exceptional care of my kitty! I loved that she brought toys every day and played so much with him. He fell in love with Martha very fast and was so well-taken care of while I was away! I really appreciated the photos and videos Martha sent every day, her timeliness, tidiness, and frequent communication. I can't emphasize enough how much peace of mind it brings to have help from someone so trustworthy and professional!”


5. Lillian G.

“Lillian was an amazing and attentive cat sitter! She completed the daily drop ins and played with my cat and gave her lots of love. My cat can get really anxious when she's left alone but when I came back home she was at ease and happy. I am so thrilled with the care she got from Lillian!”


6. Ellis B.

“Ellis helped us out in a pinch when we were in the middle of changing jobs! Our new puppy loved him and we trusted him from the start. He's a great guy, good with dogs, and I highly recommend his service!”


7. Kathryn M.

“Kathryn took care of our rather antisocial and uncooperative cat during our vacation, coming twice a day to medicate her. It was not easy, but Kathryn was great about communicating with us and she creatively problem-solved to get the job done. We were super impressed with her reliability, patience and kindness. Highly recommended!! We are very grateful to her.”


8. Gabrielle S.
“Gabby was fantastic for watching my kitten for a few days when he was still getting adjusted to living at my apartment! I knew that she would be a great caretaker for him from watching her interact with the pet professors at our veterinary school during our classes and labs, but she went above and beyond with sending me pictures and videos as well as in providing enrichment for Rigatoni.”


9. Kyra M.


“Leaving my pets in Kyra's capable hands allowed me to enjoy my afternoon without a single worry. Kyra sent pictures and ended her drop in session with a synopsis of their time together. She is booked again in a few weeks for a weekend!!”


10. Benjamin R.

“Ben is absolutely fantastic in every way! My dog Tito is a high energy and he came home tired and happy- he walked a ton with him AND played ball with him too!!! Ben is very communicative and sent so many great pictures, he is easy to plan and work with. He was flexible to my changing plans and figured out something that would work. He went above and beyond when my dog rolled in feces -Ben got back to my house and gave tito a great bath, he didn't even smell when I got home (which is something I have not been able to achieve- he smells for days typically!) I will most definitely be asking Ben back to spend quality trail time with Tito!!!”


11. Josephine G.

“Josie is phenomenal! She is hand downs our favorite dog sitter! She is caring, responsive, and conscientious. Our dog Jake loves her! I know he is in the best of hands with Josie, and that means so much to our family.”


12. Armani B.

“Armani is great! She has good energy, is attentive, and very considerate. I recommend you giving her a chance as we were grateful for her assist with our puppy! We only stopped working with her due to her schedule needs, but we'd happily consider her again!”


13. Liah D.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Liah! She watched my dog with exceptional attention to detail, noticing even the smallest changes in behavior and preferences. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does - from sending thoughtful updates to following care instructions perfectly. My pet returned happy and well-adjusted, clearly having received plenty of affection and proper care. Liah's reliability and communication made the entire experience stress-free. I'll absolutely be booking with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who truly treats your furry family member as their own.”


14. Nora L.

“Nora did a great job, was communicative, responsive, and a pleasure to interact with.”


15. Jill F.
About: Hi! I’m Jill and am very experienced with doggos! I work full time in dog rescue and am looking to take on rover clients to help support that work. I have experience with all ages/sizes/breeds/temperaments! I am certified in Animal Behavior Management and love catering your pet’s activity and enrichment to their personality. Before working in dog rescue, I was a wildlife biologist for 10 years and still very much enjoy spending time outdoors and hiking - especially with dogs! Before that, I worked at a doggy day care and veterinary clinic. Animals have always been a central part of my life and I take the responsibility of their care very seriously! I work in animal rescue which allows me a somewhat flexible schedule. If I have a pet booking, your animal’s needs will be my first priority! I care for pets in the way they would like to be cared for. I love getting to know an animal and catering my services to them.


16. Abby S.

“Abby is quick to respond and is a great communicator. We had a meet and greet before my time away, she met my 3 cats and learned their routine and listened to my care instructions. I got messages and pictures daily. I came home to a clean apartment. She went above and beyond. She took out my trash and swept up around the litter robot. This made my arrival home after 13 hours of travel easy and a relief! She was diligent to make sure the litter robot had enough litter, the water drinking fountain had enough water and my kitties got play time. My pets and home were in great hands. I highly recommend Abby for any pet sitting needs.”


17. Katherine D.

“Katherine was a life-saver. She stepped in at the last minute to help me and my kitty out, with so much flexibility. My kitty clearly felt very safe and loved while I was away, and Katherine was incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. Thank you so much, Katherine!”


18. Joseph B.

“Chili has been with us for five years, but this is the first time we’ve left her alone. Joseph did a great job taking care of her, and we really enjoyed the pictures he sent!”


19. Hope S.
“H is truly the most incredible dog sitter. She went above and beyond for our beautiful girl Millie. She not only gave her all the cuddles, but took her for long walks & hikes. We came home to a house that was way cleaner than it had been when we left and were surprised with printed out photos of their adventures together while we were away. H is professional, loving, kind, & incredibly caring. She is honest & trustworthy. The care she showed our Millie means so much to us. Anyone who is lucky enough to hire H will not be disappointed. She is a true, true gem. H- thank you for being you & taking such good care of Millie and our home.”


20. Michael L.
“Michael has been my pet sitter for over 4 years, he is by far the best pet sitter we have ever had. His availability has never been an issue, my husband and I leave a lot on holidays and even then he has always been available. We have cats, dogs, bunnies and reptiles and the care he provides is always amazing. Michael has never dropped the ball on anything and cares for our pets as if they are his own. I love receiving updates on how all our pets are doing while we are gone and Michael is always extremely communicative. One time while we were gone our dog got an upset stomach as she sometimes does and Michael didn’t hesitate to reach out to us and find the proper care through our veterinary clinic while we were away. I highly recommend!”
