“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”


“Victoria was the best! She sent pictures daily and was extremely communicative. Our pets were well cared for! We will 100% be asking her to come back next time we are gone.”


“Qishu (and Ian) were wonderful guests in our home, housesitters and keepers of our pups and flock of chickens. Qishu kept us updated frequently and sent lots of pictures and videos of our furbabies while we were gone. One of our pups has boundless energy and Qishu didn’t flinch! She event spent time working on commands and training the pups while we were out. She left the house cleaner than it was when we left and was very respectful. I’d recommend Qishu (and Ian) to anyone anytime.”


“Nicky was great! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, an b d left my home tidy. Pancake was happy and smiley in all the pics. What more can you ask for in a dog sitter. Definitely recommend and will use again in the future!”


“Excellent service. Dane has great communication. He updates me everytime he comes and check on the pups. He takes cute pictures of them and spent time with each one, make sure they get all the attention they need. One of my dogs is reactive and difficult to handle, while most people turn him away, Dane makes sure he gets the care that he needs. I’m for sure will be a returning customer.”


“Dennis did a wonderful job watching my 13 month old Collie puppy. My dog is large and somewhat high energy and needs many miles of walks and Dennis did a wonderful job making sure that he got all of the mental and physical stimulation he needed. I got lots of picture updates, and felt very relaxed while leaving my dog while I was on vacation. Dennis also took great care of my home and was super responsive whenever I had questions. We did one meeting before I booked Dennis for the weekend, and then I booked him for one dog walk session before the Dog Sitting time because he was going to arrive after I had left. He was super open to everything and he reviewed my dog care instructions before I left. I felt like we had really clear really good communication. I’ve used several Rover pet sitters and Dennis is by far the best one that I’ve booked. I cannot recommend him enough! (unless you want him on the same weekend that I do and then I would still recommend him but I call dibs!)”


“Charlii was the best house sitter and pet sitter we’ve encountered. She was incredibly communicative and feeling about all the animals in our little zoo. She was able to do things we know were unpleasant for her. We’d hire her back in a second (if she’ll have us!)”


“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”


“G’la was great with our two dogs! We loved all of the wonderful pictures she sent and our dogs clearly had a good time. She even went above and beyond to coordinate visits with our landlord while we were away. Thanks, G’la!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Korin. She took care of our 3 year old, highly energetic/anxious pup Louie for a full day at our home. Louie quickly warmed up to Korin and enjoyed plenty of cuddles and playtime throughout the day. Korin was positive, caring, communicative, and clearly has a lot of experience caring for pets. We would work with her again in a heartbeat.”


“Melina took great care of our pups and cat while we were away! One of our dogs has anxiety, so it was great to see her warm up to Melina fairly quickly during the meet and greet, and she even got her out for some socialization. Already planning to book with her for our future trips!”


About: I have pet sat for many acquaintances over the years, as well nannying which included caring for family pets. I also have two cats of my own! I am currently wfh freelancers, I have plenty of availability in my schedule to care for other peoples furry guys! I have too small of an apartment to have a dog of my own - so my own pet care would never get in the way. I play with my cats every morning and night for at least two hours a day. I believe in a healthy diet for all animals, as well as providing an enriched home life for all domesticated animals. I am proudly in tune with an animal's body language and how the all vocalize their needs differently.

About: I’ve had experience with a handful of different cats and dogs, from walking to house sitting, I also offer pet photography alongside your service. I am a quick learner, motivated, and would love to take care of your pet. I am in the process of preparing to start animal behavioral college, where I’ll be majoring in animal training. I’m currently on a break from work until the end of August/ early September so I can accommodate to your needs and have lots of time to play with your critters. I have a fenced large open patio and yard, the perfect spot with plenty of space for your fur baby/ies. I can also stay overnight at your house, I’m open, I will always leave your home better than I found it.

“Elisa was great from beginning to end. She came and took great notes of our dog and house details and was very proactive communicating helpful daily updates. (And in spite of a travel snafu at the holidays she went the extra mile to ensure she could arrive on time for the job.) Our plants and dog were very happy when we returned; and our house had been well cared for.”


“Irina offered sweet and gentle care of my cat companion while I was away, and provided a calm, dependable presence in her life. She sent many gorgeous photos of my cat’s day and went above and beyond in offering flexibility due to multiple unexpected changes to my trip. I’m grateful to have found her and look forward to our next visit!”


“Zsa-Zsa was wonderful! She took such great care of our three cats and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and was super communicative. We came home to happy cats and a tidy home :) I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!”


“Tony was great! Super helpful and so great with our dog! Bug really enjoyed hanging with him! We came home after 4 days to a happy dog and a happy home! Thank you Tony! We will 100% be booking with Tony again!”


“Sara was wonderful! She took our Daphne on some fun park adventures while we were gone, maintained contact, and was very respectful of our home. Friendly and trustworthy, we are looking forward to hiring her again in the future!”


“Michael took amazing care of our 5 month old high energy puppy and two cats while we were away! We received updates every day and he was easily reached. He was very professional and left our house better than he found it. Would 100% book again next time we need a sitter”

Not only was a happy that she was there for me, but she was so amazing with her communication and gave me updates with daily pictures, which I loved getting She’s a very sweet and gentle energy, and my animals were immediately in love with her! Definitely will reach out to Sophia next time. I need anyone for care.”
