“I'm so glad we found Minay!! She is such a gem of a person and has such a lovely warmth about her. My dogs and the rest of my family clicked instantly with her. She goes above and beyond, you can completely trust that your loved ones are in great hands.”


2. Sabrina K.

“I feel very good about having hired Sabrina for drop-in visits to care for my two cats while I was out of town. Sabrina was professional, reliable, helpful and friendly. She was responsible in performing the necessary tasks. The photos I received put my mind at ease that my cats were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Sabrina and would utilize her services again. Thank you Sabrina!”


3. Isabel M.

“Isabel was the perfect person for my partner and I to use for our first time using Rover. She was super communicative, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. On top of that, she gave my baby boy a good break in his day to spend with someone while I was away and after seeing him sleeping peacefully in his crate after Isabel's visit, I knew he had a good time. 10/10 would recommend her to watch your pets! I will be booking her again for sure <3”

“Jenny looked after my cat last-minute after a previously booked sitter cancelled… and she was amazing! Very communicative, friendly, and it’s clear my cat really liked her too :) my building manager even told me “I think your cat is getting really good care!” after meeting Jenny. So appreciative and hope you can look after my baby again!”

10. Yue Z.
About: I’ve been a proud cat parent for over seven years, caring for a sweet and spirited cats. From kittenhood to adulthood, I’ve handled everything from playful zoomies to picky appetites, vet visits, medication, and daily enrichment. This experience has taught me to understand feline behavior deeply and to provide gentle, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality. As a former legal professional who recently left my job, I now have full availability throughout the week. I’m flexible 7 days a week to fit your pet’s needs — whether it’s regular visits, last-minute bookings, or extended care. I treat every home with respect and every pet with kindness. I follow the pet’s usual routines to keep them comfortable, ensure fresh food and water, clean up after them, and provide plenty of play and affection. I’m mindful of safety — from locking doors securely to checking that all pet supplies are used properly. I also give regular updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away.

About: I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to caring for pets! I’ve looked after friends’ and family’s dogs and cats for years, and I always make sure to follow all instructions carefully so every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I have two cats of my own and have hosted dogs and other cats in my home — they’ve always been able to coexist peacefully, and after a few visits, they even become buddies! I’m a calm person who can also be playful, depending on your pet’s energy. Whether they want cuddles, playtime, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to make them feel right at home. I work 10–6 on weekdays but I’m pretty flexible on weekends. If you’re in the downtown area, I’m happy to drop in before or after work during the week too. Send me a message — I’d love to chat and figure out what works best for everyone! I’ll follow all your instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels safe and happy. I’ll also send updates so you know they’re well cared for.

13. claire w.

“Claire looked in on my cats daily for two weeks. One of my cats has cancer and she made sure he was comfortable and kept me updated daily, which was great for my peace of mind. Everything was in great shape when I got home - food and water dishes full, litter boxes clean. I would book her again and highly recommend her to others.”


14. Aleksandr W.
“Aleks is amazing with pets! He’s super responsible, loving, and always makes sure animals feel safe and happy. He’s watched my husky, Joy, multiple times, and she absolutely adores him! I’d trust him with any pet. Highly recommend!”

16. Muhan Y.
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats, and currently have a 5-year-old Goldendoodle who lives with my parents. Back in high school, I had a Yorkshire Terrier, and over the years, I’ve become very familiar with the daily needs, personalities, and care routines of both small and large breeds. My experience living with pets has taught me how to read their behavior, provide gentle care, and ensure they feel comfortable and loved in any environment. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time each day for walks, feeding, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I can adjust to what works best for you and your pet. I always try to make pets feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re in my home or I’m in theirs. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible and take time to get to know what they like or don’t like. At my place, pets have a calm, clean space to relax and play. When I’m caring for them in your home, I treat it with respect and make sure your pet feels at ease. I also like to keep you updated so you know they’re doing well.


17. Sabrina K.
“We love when Sabrina comes to take care of our pets (2 dogs and 1 cat). More importantly, the pets LOVE when Sabrina comes to take care of them. She is so reliable, extremely good at communicating with us before we leave the pets with her - and we always get updates and photos of our pets while we are gone. She follows the feeding and walking routine, so it is seamless for us to leave them in her care. It is obvious that she LOVES animals, and is good at not only taking care of them, but also making them behave as they should - and our pets listen to her. They are sad when she leaves - they look for her after she is gone. That tells us that they are in GREAT hands while we are gone. I would highly recommend Sabrina - and have recommended her to several of our friends and they have been beyond pleased with her - and have asked her to watch their pets on multiple occasions.”


18. Xiaoxi W.

“I strongly recommend Xiaoxi Wang who is really kind, reliable, and great with my dog. She also has pets of her own, so she is experienced with animals. My dog was happy under her care when I was out of town. She is someone you can trust. Definitely go with her again.”


19. ChenHao Z.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have cared for two of my own—a Chihuahua and a Poodle—since I was little. From playful walks to cozy cuddle sessions, I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. I’m experienced with small breeds, and I’m always patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or a senior needing extra care, I’m here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m pretty much always available to give your pup the attention they need throughout the day—whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m lucky to have a dog park right in my apartment complex for quick outings, and on weekends, I love visiting larger public dog parks for more space to play and explore. Your pet will always have plenty of activity, attention, and care with me! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my place, pets have a clean and cozy space to relax, regular potty breaks, and lots of playtime—plus easy access to the dog park in my apartment complex. I follow any routines or special instructions closely, including feeding, medications, or crate training. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pet sticks to their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I always send regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!
