Jennifer was great with my senior dog and 10 months old kitten who is very active. She took amazing pictures and left the house spot clean. Would definitely use her again.

Aurora was truly a gift having her dog-sit our precious girl Sadie. She was caring, responsive, gave many updates throughout the long weekend and made me feel at ease while I was away knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Aurora. You are top on my list for future dog-sitting needs.

About: Our own furbaby is dog reactive, so I definitely understand the struggles of finding someone who understands! I’ve learned a lot of knowledge from our trainer and am very detail oriented/structured when it comes to our furbabies! I currently work full time but am looking for another source of income when I am free! I am a teacher so I have breaks off when the children do, and have plenty of weekends off as well for date nights, vacations, etc! I only provide pet care in clients home, as boarding in my own home would cause stress to our reactive dog. Open to learning and sticking to your schedule as much as possible so your furbaby doesn’t experience too much of a drastic change without you there!

Su took great care of my senior dog. She provided regular updates, asked questions when not sure and patiently took him on walks. She left my house in the same shape I left it in. When I got home my dog did not complain one bit which is a first for him :).

About: I am Guang, aka Mia. As a teacher and lifelong animal lover, I treat every pet like family. I only take one client at a time to ensure full attention and care. I have a 4-year-old black and white Border Collie girl who is playful, gentle, and very well-trained. She never makes a mess at home and enjoys her daily runs and ball games in the park with her dog friends. I’ve been around animals literally my whole life — growing up, our family always had pets. Over the years, I’ve had three cats and four dogs, each with their own personalities and stories. I’ve also helped friends board their fur babies and done home visits/drop-in visit for cats and received good reputation. Training my Border Collie taught me patience, structure, and how to communicate calmly with all kinds of pets. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a shy kitty, I treat every animal with love, respect, and care, just like family. 🐶🐱💛 I start my day early and finish work early. I’m available for home visits in the mornings and after 3 PM on weekdays. Weekends and holidays work for me as well. I offer home visits, dog walks, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Walks are always one-on-one, and your pet won’t meet mine unless you approve. Home staying for pets are only for weekend and holidays. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s what I genuinely love to do every day. Safety and comfort always come first. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to create safe boundaries. I also follow your pet’s care routine closely and will send pet pictures to you.

Amy is the best dog sitter we could have asked for. I pride myself on how much I take my dogs on adventures but Amy even surpassed what I do for my own dog! Amy took my dog on numerous wonderful adventures while sending me amazing pictures from their adventures. When Amy left she left a gorgeous hand drawn picture of our dog. I recommend Amy to anyone with a pet that they like and want to leave in good hands. 5 stars. A+ dog sitting! Will hire again!

Sahil was an amazing dog sitter! He was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. He took wonderful care of our dog for a few days, and it’s clear that he genuinely loves and understands pets. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed our dog was when we returned, which really showed how well he was treated. We would absolutely trust Sahil again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

About: I have taken care of friend's and dogs of significant others over the past two decades. I have the most experience with small and big dogs. It doesn't seem like my friends have had many medium-sized dogs. From leisurely sniffer walks to 10 mile runs, I cover a wide range of doggie needs. From homebody to outdoor enthusiast, I have expreience in meeting the needs of dogs at various energy levels. I have time to do morning, noon and evening care for both cats and dogs. From walks, runs and play time for dogs to playtime, movie time and cuddles for cats. I am a lover of cooking so no peculiar food preparation needs of your pet is too peculiar. I'm up for a challenge! I currently do not offer boarding in my home but am comfortable to providing care or home stays if needed. I have done live-in care for friends who have dogs and cats and am always respectful of the space. My goal is to provide care as similar as possible to what the owners provide on a normal basis, to help the cat or dog feel the most comfortable while their humans are away.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have a playful 5-year-old cat at home who I've trained to shake hands, roll over, spin, and even play dead—yes, really! I believe in building trust and bonding with every pet through positive, calm interactions. Over the past few years, I’ve also helped care for a senior golden retriever and another friend's cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Whether your pet is energetic and curious or shy and slow-moving, I’ll meet them where they are and treat them like family. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking only. Photos Guaranteed! I love capturing special moments and will always send lots of pictures during each visit so you feel connected and reassured while you're away. If you’re looking for someone responsible, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pet, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm available Friday through Monday all day, and Tuesday to Thursday in the early mornings (7:00–9:00 AM) and evenings (7:30–8:30 PM). Let me know what works best for you—I'm happy to accommodate whenever I can! I will hold the leash tight if we meet any dogs or human on the way, if your dog is too excited I will use my body to block the sight.

Andrew was great! He was attentive of Timon and updated me on how he was doing throughout the day. Timon chomped down on a Christmas light and Andrew was quick to respond to get it out of his mouth and put the pieces where he couldn't get them. Will definitely reach out to Andrew again!

Tatyanan was incredible kind and supportive throughout the whole process. I had never used Rover, let alone a pet sitter. Before even booking with her she came to meet my cats and I and walk me through the process. While I was out of state for my fiance's surgery, she went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of, regularly sending pictures, and that the place stayed clean from pet messes. I greatly appreciate Tatyana and would absolutely book her again! Thank you Tatyana!!

Alexus did an amazing job with our girl, Hippie! She stayed with her while we were gone for 2 weeks and she took excellent care of our dog. She updated us with photos and videos, and we returned to a happy and healthy pup. She is very sweet with our dog and make sure she got in her walks every day, even working around the extreme heat. Alexus also had to deal with some unexpected home issues (ant infestation, fallen tree branches, etc.) while we were gone, and idd a great job helping us and communicating with us throughout. I would highly recommend Alexus and Hippie can't wait to have her visit again!

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life: dogs, cats, fish, rodents, parakeet. My sister is a marine mammal trainer, and I appreciate the advice she’s shared about shaping behavior and interpreting body language. I have yet to meet a dog I don’t like (and vice versa!) I’m a physician assistant student finishing up my degree in May. I currently have a lot of flexibility with scattered zoom classes and studying. Looking for pet sitting or walks to break up the studying ◡̈ Pets need love, attention, and patience. I walk my mom’s dog daily and tend to all her grooming (and of course give her lots of pets).

Although our relationship with Suky B. just started in March, we are sure that we will be asking her to care for our furry beast. She is conscientious and detail oriented. We book her with confidence.
