1. David B J.

“David helped me out last minute when another sitter canceled on me! He was great and very patient with mocha, as she took her time warming up lol. He showed up everyday on time, was very communicative in making sure mocha’s needs were met. Would recommend booking David for your fur babies!”


2. Rosanna G.

“This was my first time having Rosanna take care of my cats, and I was a bit nervous since one of my cats had recently experienced a urinary blockage and was on a special diet. He's also very sensitive to changes in his environment. However, Rosanna worked wonders! Within just a few days, Tuxi came out of his hiding spot and was greeting her at the door. In addition to looking after the cats, Rosanna also watered my plants, gave me helpful tips for encouraging Tuxi to eat his new food, and even helped with managing their hairballs. I would definitely trust Rosanna with my cats again in the future. Thank you so much, Rosanna!”

“TJ is great: Super attentive, communicative, and genuinely cares about my kitties. There’s nothing like knowing someone reliable and sincere is nearby to help care for my pets while I’m away.”


4. Gwinevere v.

“Gwinevere was wonderful with our kitty! She took great care of him and sent timely and thoughtful updates while we were gone. This was the longest I have left my cat with a sitter, and I didn’t have to worry about him because I know he was well cared for. We will definitely work with Gwinevere again next time.”


5. Dasja A.



“First time user of Rover! I'm over the moon about my experience. The amount of stress and worry that was lifted by having Dasja drop in and take care of my boy was major. She was lovely! On time, super responsive, sent several update photos/videos of my pup and made my first experience a bright one.”


6. Jennifer G.

“Jennifer goes above and beyond for each visit. She's such a pleasure and is so accommodating. She loves my fur baby like her own - I couldn't ask for better! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”


7. Dennis P.

“Dennis is a true professional. He’s taken care of my kittens twice now and always leaves a detailed message, takes care of the apartment and leaves the place spotless. I will be booking him again!”


8. Anne B.


“Anne was very professional and communicative! One of our cats, who typically doesn’t warm up much to cat sitters, really seemed to get comfortable with her. She always sent us a ton of pictures and left a detailed message after each visit which was much appreciated.”


9. Kristina S.


“Kristina was a wonderful sitter for my two cats. She and her daughter spent extra time with my cats, making sure they were fed, clean, and happy. Highly recommend!”

About: (PLEASE KEEP READING FOR LATENESS INFO AND PRICING). Hello, everyone! I am a college student who has more than 10 years of personal experience with a variety of dogs. I've raised and taken care of Rottweilers, Pitbulls, Dalmatians and Labradors in the past and currently own a 9 year old Labrador/Pitbull mix and 2 Rottweiles. I thoroughly enjoy taking care of dogs on my free time as I work out with my own. There's a big park with a dog run right next to me so your baby will always be taken care of and I also keep an AC in the living room for the hotter days. In addition to that, I have worked with dogs with separation anxiety and am very aware of the struggles dealing with that so I always make sure when I take a Rover booking, that the dog is never alone in the house. Furthermore, I have no issues sending pictures and videos of your baby as we all would like to know how our babies are doing when we are not with them. Thank you so much for taking a look at my services and feel free to book me up! FYI, I am very comfortable and very good with big and strong doggos :-). I take pleasure in giving your baby one on one time withNL NO OTHER DOGS at the same time as yours so that they can fully enjoy their time I go to school online so I am able to be with pets 24/7. I also make sure that pets do not stay alone ever while in my care. I do ask however, for clients to stick to their drop-off and pick-up times to respect my time as I respect theirs and their pets', and to avoid any late fees or extra charges. LATENESS: To accommodate for my time and services, this is the lateness , cancelation and time change policy: 3 days in advance for full refund and no additional charges for changes. OVERNIGHT BOARDING 1 DAY ONLY DOG MUST BE DROPPED OFF BY 10PM AND PICKED UP BY 8AM LATEST (I HAVE FLEXIBILITYIF NEEDED), LATE FEES WILL APPLY AFTER THAT OF $25 PER 15 MINUTE PERIOD, FOR UP TO 2 HOURS AND BEYOND THAT, DOGGY DAYCARE CHARGES WILL APPLY IF PICKED UP LATER THAN 2 HOURS ON TOP OF THE LATE FEE. DOGGY DAYCARE 1 DAY ONLY DOG MUST BE DROPPED OFF BY 10AM AND PICKED UP BY 8PM (I HAVE FLEXIBILITY IF NEEDED), LATE FEES WILL APPLY AT $25 PER 15 MINUTES OF LATENESS AND UP TO 2 HOURS. BEYOND THAT, OVERNIGHT BOARDING RATES WILL BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING BEYOND 2 HOUR LATENESS ON TOP OF THE LATE FEES. FOR ANY OTHER SERVICES INCLUDING EXTENDED STAYS, $25 CHARGE FOR EVERY 15 MINUTES OF LATENESS AND UP TO 2 HOURS, BEYOND THAT, ANOTHER FULL DAY OF WHATEVER SERVICE TYPE YOU REQUESTED WILL BE CHARGED TO YOUR INVOICE ON TOP OF THE LATE FEE. This is so that WE BOTH keep our end of the bargain when it comes to time as we all understand it is precious and costs. THIS WILL ONLY BE REDUCED OR WAIVED WITH A PROPERLY DOCUMENTED, UNFORSEEABLE, UNAVOIDABLE EMERGENCY, AND ULTIMATELY ALSO AT MY DISCRETION. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. Though my dog is friendly, I have a dog cage where my dog sleeps and which separates my own from other owner's pets for safety.


11. Steven N.

“Steven was wonderful! He was communicative, reliable, and took excellent care of our cats. He also sent photos after each visit, which were absolutely beautiful.”


12. Neil C.

“Neil is amazing! He was prompt, thoughtful, and detailed oriented throughout. He cared for both of my dogs and really took the time to get to know their personalities, quirks, and routine. Thank you Neil!!”


13. Dominick M.

“Dominick continues to help me out in such short notice- I am really appreciative of knowing my baby is taken care of by someone who makes sure he has what he needs. Thank you so much for coming today check on my ofmer baby!!!”


14. Mary K.

“We’ve had Mary take care of our cats multiple times now, and honestly, we can’t imagine leaving them with anyone else. The simple fact that we don’t have to worry about them while we’re away makes every trip ten times better. Mary goes above and beyond—she leaves everything tidy, sends the sweetest updates, and is just such a calm, trustworthy presence. The only thing that makes me anxious about her now is the thought of planning a trip, and she’s not available.”


15. Denise R.

“Denise was amazing!! She was so thoughtful about our cats’ different personalities and needs, and she was extremely communicative! We loved and appreciated all of the photos from each of her visits, and we’re sure our cats can’t wait to see her again soon!”


16. Carmen R.

“Carmen did a really amazing job with my elderly and unfortunately unexpectedly sick cat. She sent pictures, got her medicines in and just took the best care of her. I’m so very grateful.”


17. Jaixa I.


“Jaixa has done it again!! I had a last minute international trip and she was so accommodating and was able to check up on Fuji regardless. She was reliably updating me, sending me pics daily, and was so gracious through a small nipping incident when Fuji got excited (sorry again!). I returned to a happy healthy clean kitty who I'm pretty sure did not miss me at all and wonders where Jaixa went :D You're the best Jaixa!”


18. Lainey J.

“So good with my puppy! Comfortable bringing him to the dog park!”


19. Brandon R.

“Brandon and his husband were absolutely amazing! I had to leave unexpectedly out of state and they were so sweet and to take care of my pup/cat on short notice. On top of that Brandon would always send me updates and even took care of them when I was delayed in making it home. Simply the best! 10/10 highly recommend!”


20. Cristin M.

“Cristin was so great with my two cats! She was quick and responsive with any questions and sent tons of details and pictures during her check ins.”
