“Shafika took amazing care of our dog and home. She was super communicative and went above and beyond to take care of Lucca (deshedding!) and our house (washed the sheets!). Would absolutely hire again!”


“This was my first experience booking with rover, and it was a great experience! Emily was amazing!! She did overnights in my home for 23 days! She took great care of my cats and bird. From the first meet and greet, my cats gravitated towards her. The cats are younger, less than a year old, and this is the first time I was going to be away from them for an extended period of time. Emily definitely put my mind at ease. She was very pleasant and professional. She truly enjoys being around animals and mine truly enjoyed her. She communicated with me frequently and sent pictures & videos of them often. They were all so happy and well taken care of. She even befriended my temperamental, old, little parrot and he was sitting on her shoulder by the end of her stay. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for a future stay!”

“I would recommend Andrew to anyone and have no reservations booking him again. My two adult pitbulls adore Andrew. I'm borderline concerned that they like him more than me. Andrew was in contact with me everyday I was away. He sent videos and photos as well as exact times when they started and ended walks. Additionally Andrew asked permission before doing things. Despite being a fairly relaxed person with people using the amenities, I truly appreciated Andrew asking for my consent prior to using them. Definitely give Andrew a call and see if he's available to watch your fur babies. I'm glad I did.”


“Thank you! Nichole was fabulous. Fur babies loved her. Nichole sent plenty of pictures and kept me informed. House was clean, everything was in good order. Will definitely be my go to sitter from now on!”


“Caleb did a fantastic job sitting at my house with my dog Dixie warmed up to Caleb immediately. Caleb is a very respectful young man and took great care of my dog and house. He sent me plenty of pictures and took my dog for many long walks. Great job caleb!”


About: I've had cats and dogs for nearly my entire life and always enjoy being around them. When you have to be away or just need a caring pair of hands I can be there for you. I'm looking to make this a part time effort to help out people who need caring hands. I am typically available just about anytime night or day. We have 3 cats at our home (Beef Broccoli and Brisquette) as well as a boxer puppy (coming soon). While Beef prefers to live outside and passively engages with us the way outside cats tend to do. Our indoor buddies are happy playful and surprisingly talkative, they get their flea meds bimonthly as we rarely have flea issues.

“Hana is very kind and gentle and took great care of my two dogs. She sent multiple updates while I was traveling and that set my mind at ease. The house was pristine upon my return. Great job, Hana!”


“Kyle was great in caring for our pups! They seemed to be very happy to have Kyle around while we are away!! He sent pictures of them! Truly grateful to have Kyle stay with them and knowing they are in wonderful hands. Thank you!”

During our time away, Jhakeria provided daily updates, including photos and detailed messages about Max’s activities, meals, and overall well-being. It was evident that Max was not only well-cared for but also genuinely happy and comfortable in their care. Jhakeria went above and beyond by taking Max on long walks, engaging him in playtime, and ensuring he received plenty of affection and attention. What truly sets Jhakeria apart is their attentiveness to Max’s specific needs and routines. They followed all our instructions meticulously and even managed to teach Max a few new tricks!

I wholeheartedly recommend Jhakeria to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and skilled dog sitter. Their dedication and passion for animals are truly commendable, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found such an outstanding caregiver for Max.”
