“Another amazing pet sitting experience with CJ!! Our shepherd Ellie absolutely loves him and when we came home, she looked at us like “who are you?” He takes great care of our girl and also leaves our house in impeccable condition. This time he even had to put up with house construction and had no complaints. He’s our go-to for pet sitting!”
“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She’s responsible, professional, and incredibly loving. This was my first time using Rover, and knowing John was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind as an anxious dog parent. I will definitely book with her again!”
“I knew she would be great when she came to our house for a "meet and greet", brought a cat toy and immediately started playing with our two babies. I was not wrong - they were wlel cared for, well fed and most importantly, well loved.”
“This was our second time booking Ghazaal for in home cat sitting and I definitely felt a lot more at ease leaving our cat because we knew she was in excellent hands. We got regular updates, Ghazaal is so kind and easy to interact with. All instructions were followed and our house was like she was never here, except for a very happy cat! We have already booked Ghazaal again!”
“Amara was so friendly and flexible. The dogs really liked her a lot. She took very good care of our house and left it cleaner than she found it. We will definitely book with Amara again!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats from a very young age. I lived with two cats for most of my life so feel very comfortable being around and taking care of them. Recently returned to the US after living abroad. My schedule is fairly open at this time. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I’m very cautious and respectful of others’ spaces. While caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow all your instructions, keep things clean, and ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s well-being and your home’s safety are my top priorities.
“Arianna was really receptive to Willow's needs and very communicative. We really appreciate that she went above and beyond to give Willow company and to make her comfortable. She was also a terrific and considerate house guest. We recommend her wholeheartedly to other pet owners!”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including fish, dogs, lizards, rabbits, and cats. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of different pet needs, from maintaining routines to recognizing changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ pets during vacations and work trips throughout my college years. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive not just proper care, but also attention, patience, and affection. I’m adaptable to different personalities and routines, whether it’s an energetic puppy or a more independent cat. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m also really big on living an active lifestyle. I enjoy walking and running regularly, so having a pet actually fits in perfectly with that. It’s great because it keeps both me and the pet active and engaged, and it naturally becomes part of my day rather than feeling like a separate task. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every environment I care for pets in. In my home, I have a secure, fenced yard that allows pets to roam and play safely. I also live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with nearby parks, which is great for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, including medications or special care. In both settings, I maintain a clean, hazard-free environment, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy experience where both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
About: We’re an animal-loving couple with plenty of experience pet sitting through various platforms, caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, we’ve looked after pets of all sizes and personalities from playful puppies to shy and absolutely loved every moment of it. Walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles are guaranteed! At the moment our rental apartment does not allow pets so unfortunately we can’t host. But we are offering to take care of your dogs and/or cats at your place as long as they are vaccinated. I’m at home most of the day right now, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I follow a very structured daily schedule, which makes it easy to provide consistent feeding times, plenty of walks, and constant company for a pet. I provide a highly structured and attentive environment where a pet’s routine is the priority. Will follow your pets routine precisely; maintaining strict feeding, exercise, and medication schedules.
“Sydney was wonderful with my dog while I was out of town. She asked great questions beforehand and obviously cared about trying to keep things as normal for my pup as possible. While I was gone, I trusted her in my home, and appreciated her updates along the way. It was clear Bailey enjoyed her time with Sydney!”
“Devin went above and beyond, providing exceptional care for my fur babies while I was away. Their attention to detail and communication skills were top-notch. My cats were happy and well-cared for when I returned home. I will definitely be using their services again in the future.”
“Esther was great, would book with her again! She took the time to come for a meet and greet ahead of time, followed everything we asked to take care of our dog, including medication, and took good care of our place. Thanks!”
“Diane was great! We think she communicated just fine and kept things simple, which we like! We had Diane house sit our two pittie mixes and they loved her. She fed them and took care of them and sent updates and left the home as we left it. Will definitely rebook very soon! Thanks Diane!”
“Absolutely amazing and kind!!! She did a great job giving our fur babies and beardie the care and love they needed. Very reliable and compassionate. I'm very grateful that she was available and very happy to have her. She Rocks!!!”
About: Missing my childhood dogs and looking to spend my downtime with some furry friends! I have had three dobermans and I currently have two entlebucher dogs who love to take walks and play catch. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them. Whether that is taking them for a walk or just playing with them. I am a very active person and also believe that it is important for pets to be active as well. I would love to combine these two things by allowing your pet to get some fresh air and get some exercise as well. I love seeing the different personality of pets and catering to each other their needs. Both of my dogs at home love to play catch and with each other so I make sure to dedicate a good amount of time to that. I have a pretty flexible schedule so feel free to reach out and I would be more than happy to see if I can take care of your pet! I always want your pet to feel safe in my care so I will ask questions regarding your pets behavior, what I can do to make it feel like it’s home!
“Katie is amazing!!! We were nervous leaving Penny for the first time but Katie sent so many updates, pictures, and videos which helped put us at ease. Penny had a wonderful time staying with her and got lots of snuggles, attention, and play time. Penny loved Katie & her boyfriend so much!! We totally reccomend booking with her & will definitely re-book the next time we need a sitter.”
“Elvira does a fantastic job and my dogs absolutely love her. She sends a lot of updates and clearly loves animals. She followed all of my instructions for their normal routines and kept we well informed about how they were doing.”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog for the weekend. She kept us updated with how things were going and always friendly and responsive with any questions. We would hire her again.”
“Zoe is the most patient person! She did not push herself on our rescue dogs, she let them slowly warm up to her. Our one dog, whose favorite place is under a bed or behind a couch, ended up sitting next to Zoe and letting her pet him. Amazing! Zoe has made a real difference in our dogs lives and we feel much better about taking trips now.”

Cynthia did a great job taking care of Mabel over a 10 day trip. She was respectful of our place and left everything as it was once we got back. We got timely updates and did lots of activities with our pup who has a lot of energy. Would love to book her again in the future
Ghazaal is a wonderful pet sitter AND house sitter! She is kind and gentle and took very good care of our dog and cat while we were away. She was also very diligent on administering medication to our dog per instructions given. I would definitely ask her to watch our pets again.
Holly took care of our goldendoodle for a weekend. She was very responsive and we appreciated the photos and updates from her. Our dog sometimes doesn’t want to eat his food when we’re away. Holly put in extra effort into making sure that our dog ate his meals, for which we’re very grateful. The house was just as we had left it. We’re very happy with the experience and would love to book her again.
CJ is a great pet sitter. He is extremely responsible and reaches out anytime there is a question related to the care of the pets (we have one dog and two cats). He gets to know the animals and their preferences. I would definitely suggest CJ to other people.
From first introduction to yesterday's assignment, Stephen was a 5-star performer and a pet's best friend! Highly recommend Stephen if you're looking for a dog and pet savvy person who's responsible, caring, and detail-oriented... and one who adores dogs and dogs (at least mine) adore right back. Stephen's care meant my dog got a "spa day" rather than a dull day... walks, treats, sunshine naps, and ear scritches all included.
Barbara was outstanding in every way, from our first communications through the end of the stay. She is an excellent communicator, was very comfortable with my senior dogs, sent photos and updates, left the house in great shape, and was a pleasure to deal with. I would be happy to have her come back.
I cannot recommend William highly enough! From the moment we left town, I knew Nala was in good hands. He was super-communicative, sending multiple photo and written updates every day, ensuring me that she was being cared and loved for while I was out of the house. I’ll be reaching out to him first when I need a dog-sitter again!
Kimberly was absolutely amazing! we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, and her personality really shines through, she’s warm, funny, and genuinely kind. It’s clear how much she truly cares about the dogs. Roku and Toki were so well loved and cared for, and she went above and beyond not just with them but with our home too. She even rolled out the trash for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Roku can be a bit difficult on walks and tends to pull, but Kimberly handled him so patiently and confidently. That really meant a lot to us knowing he was in capable hands. We would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring.
Anastacia was great with our two dogs. One of the dogs acts aggressive when she meets new people Anastacia was not intimidated and our dogs warmed up to her quickly. Anastacia was punctual, communicated well and sent lots of pictures. She stayed two nights at our house with the dogs. We were very happy with her and would use her again.
Kristin was great with my large golden doodle who likes to fetch and go on walks, and also cared for our crested gecko. She communicated when she had questions, plus cleaned up the guest room (including sheets/towels!), kitchen and yard nicely, got packages in that arrived while I was away, got trash/recycle bins out for pickup, and most importantly, my dog and gecko seemed very happy.
