“Thank you for being so reliable, I had so many other things going on and it was so nice not to also be worried about my little pups being home all day.”



“Best experience I’ve had on Rover! Patrick was super communicative, sent tons of photos and videos, and made it easy for me to enjoy my day without worrying about Ace. Highly recommend!”


“Alice is my pup's new best friend! Highly recommend as he loved his walks and he seemed very happy when we got home. No crying alerts which was amazing. Alice kept him busy and gave lots of pets!”


“Michelle was great at taking care of my dog! He had a great time with her and I loved seeing the pictures of him playing. Michelle was quick to respond, kept me in the loop of what was going on, and was wonderful with Gill. Will definitely book with her again!”


“Alex was nothing short of a gem. Our sweet cat Charlie had a bit of a rough week - was a little spooked (we think after having banging on our roof for several days from repairs) and had an accident / vomit + had trouble taking his medicine. It was unusual behavior, but Alex approached it each day with deep care. He reported tremendous detail, and worked with me to try the best approaches. And Charlie got very comfortable with him! We feel very lucky that we have found Alex.”


“Appreciated her quick responses and communication. Spoiled our already spoiled cat 😊 So glad she was able to drop in and check on her both days.”


About: I dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand how important positive attention is in order to have a happy pet. I grew up with a yellow lab, and since then, I’ve adopted a beautiful cat named Hank, who makes friends with the pets I sit. I place a high priority on your pet’s needs, despite working full-time. My partner is home during the day to provide potty breaks and attention. In the evenings, our fenced-in yard provides a safe place for your pet to run and play with me. I tailor my care to your pet’s needs, and I respect your preferences. I give love and attention to the pets in my care as if they were my own, and I take my responsibilities as a pet-sitter very seriously. It can be stressful leaving a furry friend at home, so my goal is to ensure that both you and your pet are comfortable and content. I never board more than one home’s pets at a time, which means that my attention is focused on your furry loved one. I love sending pictures and videos so that you feel informed and at ease.

“First time leaving my senior dog alone for a week. We decided to try a sitter on Rover, and we are happy with our dog and with the care that Jessie V. put into caring for Sammi, and for the house. At 15 years old, Sammi has messes, and I am grateful for Jessie's care in caring for Sammi, and for the condition of the carpet and floors. When we saw Sammi after being away for a week, he seemed happy, well-fed, and the room smelled clean. Thanks, Jessie!”


“We are so lucky that we found Jillian. She is a pleasure to communicate with, responsible and trustworthy. We feel very comfortable having Jillian in our home and our Skylar kitty loved her! She makes sure to thoroughly refresh Sky's areas and give him attention during her visits. We know that when we are away, Sky will be taken care of, and Jillian will be attentive to anything he needs. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”


“She is so wonderful with communication and loving on our two dogs! I am so glad that our little guys were in such caring hands with Amy! Thank you!”



“Rachel is a very responsible pet sitter. My reservation with previous pet sitter got cancelled because of the bad weather one day before the service. Me and my family were already out of town and my cats were at home alone. Rachel was able to accept this late request and took care of cats well in the bad weather situation.”


“Our two cats really liked Agata! She played with them every day, fed them and cleaned up their accidents while we were on vacation and took very good care of them. Agata was also very communicative and fast to respond.”


About: I have a 5-year-old English Cream Retriever who I’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy. She’s incredibly well-behaved and knows commands like sit, lay down, spin, “leave it,” and even rings a bell to go potty! I also regularly watch friends’ dogs, and I’ve been told many times how calm and confident I am with animals. I know how to build trust with dogs of all temperaments, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your dog consistent attention, exercise, and care. I take my own dog on regular walks and potty breaks, so I can easily incorporate additional pets into our routine. Whether your pup needs cuddles, playtime, or a structured schedule, I’ve got the flexibility to make it happen. I keep a calm, pet-friendly home that’s safe and welcoming for dogs. My dog gets along well with others, and I always do a careful introduction to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’m big on structure and consistency — I follow any routines or rules you’ve set for your pet, from feeding and medications to crate training and walk schedules. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and treat your pet like family. Safety, trust, and kindness are always my top priorities.

“Jennifer took great care of my shy cats! We knew that they might hide from her, but she still gave a good try checking in all their spots for them. She made sure they had clean water, food and litter and gave me updates.”


“Ava is attentive, kind, and did an amazing job taking care of my kitties!”


“Jialu is amazing, and my cat Pepsi absolutely loves her! She took great care of Pepsi, spent time playing with him, and ensured he was well looked after. She shared lovely photos with me after each visit, which I really appreciated. I feel completely at ease leaving home for long trips because of her”


“Heather was fantastic as always, providing our cat with plenty of cuddles and love. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and messages, which reassured me that our cat was in great hands.”


“Scarlett did an amazing job taking care of our old lady Jelly. She followed directions thoroughly, gave her medicine on time and made sure Jelly didn't get lonely while we were gone. She's super nice, communicative and pays attention to the animal's needs. I highly recommend Scarlett (Wanqing) for your pets needs when you need to be away. Will definitely use her again for any upcoming trips!”


About: I have rasied my own mini Australian Shepherd from puppyhood - full of energy and I have learned how to keep pups both physically and mentally engaged. In addition to raising my own dog, I have also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family over the years. I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes and temperaments. What sets me apart is the level of attention and companionship your dog will receive. I am home most of the time and also extremely patient, detail-oriented and committed to making every dog feel safe and loved. I am home most of the time. This gives me flexibility to provide consistent attention, supervision throughout the day. My own dog is on a regular routine that include morning/afternoon walk, playtime in the backyard. I am able to adjust to your pet's specific schedule and needs. When your pet stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a safe, loving and dog-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and my home has comfy spots for rest and toys for enrichment.

Max will definitely be back for future visits :)”

Ivy is very caring, constantly gives us updates on what's Cooper is up to and shared pictures of how Cooper is doing. Cooper has always been an anxious dog but he loves Ivy and feels very safe with her. I highly recommended Ivy to anyone in need of a dog sitter or needing someone to walk their dogs during the day. She is kind, caring and our dog loves her!”

Shrishti is a super cat-sitter -- highly recommended! She took great care of our sensitive Siberian cat, faithfully spending time with him twice a day. She followed all our instructions and sent detailed updates with fun pictures and videos. Shrishti is a pro at brushing our cat's teeth, which was an unexpected bonus! She also made sure our plants had water. We will definitely hire her again the next time we need cat sitting.

She takes the time to engage with her, ensuring she feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Vivien's dedication and patience have been so reassuring, and we always feel at ease knowing Yuna is in such great hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!

Me and my kids and my dog Coco can't thank Wendy enough to visit our home and hand hold us on recall, least waking and stay commands . She would follow up with detailed notes post the session so that we could practice at home . she also was very helpful with training aids & tools she brought and letting us use it . She is very patient and doesn't rush and very committed and I will recommend setting up a few sessions with her if your pup is needing training . Thank you Wendy !

Payton was so pleasant and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our cat while we were away for a week.

Sara was amazing with our dogs! They warmed up to her immediately as though they have been friends forever. She was attentive, professional, and caring. She eased all concerns with leaving them in the care of a new sitter. We will definitely book her again!

Holly is awesome! She's sat for me several times and gives all my animals the best care and attention. I have such peace of mind knowing that they're looked after while I'm away and always look forward to her pictures and updates. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend!
