“Claudia is extremely kind and I’m grateful she was flexible in scheduling. She was also willing to learn how to give my Lex his inhaler and was prompt in her visit.”
“Samuel was proactive in learning all there is to know in taking care of Miko. He did an excellent job taking care of her evidenced by how she happy she looks in her picture updates. I’m grateful for his help and expertise. :)”
“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”
“I highly recommend Georgia! She has been excellent in taking care of my Weimaraner, Leo. She is incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to his needs. I always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Leo absolutely enjoys his time with her, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she works with. I’m very grateful to have found someone so reliable and compassionate.”
“I am so happy I found Veronica for drop-ins while I traveled out of town for work. Both pups are used to having someone home all day since I work from home, and even when the anxiety got the best of one of them, Veronica was patient, kind, and caring for them. We will have her back again!”
“Caryn kindly visited us before sitting to make sure the dogs were acclimated to her. She sent daily updates and pictures and the pups loved the attention and care!”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”
“We were in a panic to find a sitter and Marla saved the day! Blue says Marla is her BFF now and will miss her when we get home. I appreciate how well she took care of Blue, giving her all the playtime and cuddles she needed. Blue always looked so happy in the pictures Marla shared!”
“Jess is absolutely amazing. She sends daily updates with cute stories and wonderful pictures. Our girls adore her and always ask when she is coming back. We know we don't have to worry about a thing when we can't take them with us. So grateful for sweet Jess!!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad we found Kyra and Angela. They took great care of our dog, kitty, and turtle while we were away for a week. Our dog, Abby, was her normal self when we got home and I know it’s because she was given so much love and attention while we were away. Love the detailed check in cards and photos as well. Kyra and Angela really went above and beyond what I was expecting, and we’re so appreciative. Absolutely recommend this sweet mother/daughter duo for your pet care needs!”
“I was in such a pinch when Ryan came into our lives and helped out! Had a previous sitter cancel last minute and I had no one to watch my boy while I was gone for a 12 hour shift. With no hesitation, Ryan came out the next day! He’s always on time, my pup is always so happy to see him, and always makes sure Levi has water and a treat when he leaves. I can’t recommend Ryan enough!!”
“As our first time using Rover, I enjoyed Liz as a dog sitter for my dog because of her attention to my his wants and needs as if she was the actual owner. I am thankful to have selected Liz and her services and would 5/5 recommend her for others and look forward to the next time we may need Liz’s help.”
About: I took care of my dog, Luna, since the first day she was born because her mom didn’t want her. I’d wake up every 2 hours to make sure she ate while she was little because I didn’t want anything to happen to her. Now she’s 4 years old running around with her parents and siblings. I have a cat, she recently turned one. I take her everywhere with me, she loves car rides now. At home I have dogs who I’d always look forward going to play with after work. Pets have been a part of my life for a while now and I enjoy it. When it comes to dogs, puppies, I know that most of the time all they want to do is play and I’m okay with that. I think it’s an important part of their life to keep them healthy and happy.I know some pets don’t like being alone and it’s makes me sad to see pets waiting by the door for their owners to show up. So I look forward to being with them whether it’s playing with them or just keeping them company while you’re out working or running errands.
“Sofia was extremely helpful with taking care of my dogs when I was away on vacation. I will definitely use her services again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a quality dog sitter!”
“Vivian is wonderful! Very reliable and available. She has watched my cats multiple times and always does a great job! Always prompt and professional and I trust her to take great care of my fur babies when I’m away.”
About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting for 6 years, and it has easily become one of my favorite jobs! I have had experience from puppies to elderly dogs and all ages and sizes in between! I am working part time this summer, making my schedule flexible to fit you and your dog or cat’s needs! I am available most everyday during the day! Whether your dog is a high energy trail blazer or likes to stop and sniff everything along the way, I meet them where they are! All sizes are welcome and all personalities are loved!
“We’ve used Sonia a couple of times now for our 4 cats and one guinea pig and she’s wonderful! I love that she sends us pictures of them. We’re so happy we have found someone we can trust to take care of our babies.”
“Olivia was amazing! She came by to feed our senior cat who only eats wet food. We also have other cats that can make things tricky since they always want that food too, but she followed our instructions perfectly and handled it with no problem. It’s such a relief to have someone trustworthy come into our home and care for our pets. We’ll definitely be booking with Olivia again!”

Was so patient with my anxious pup. She was able to gain her trust and successfully walk her. So communicative and a pleasure to speak to. I will be booking anytime I’m out of town and she’s available. She sent lots of pics and a sweet message when my dog finally allowed her to slip on the leash! 100/10 🤩🤩🤩
Ryan is friendly, punctual, responsive and loves my kitten. He also goes well beyond his specific duties. He takes very good care of my special 10 month old kitten. She was hit by a car and has no bladder control. She try’s to get to the litter box but never makes it. Ryan contends with all her messes. Thank you Ryan.
Our dogs, Iris and Valentina, had a blast with Cathleen. She provided frequent updates, and took time to really understand our dogs. She was able to accommodate their routine, and bring assurance that they were in great care while we were away. Highly recommend!
Samuel has been sitting for both our dog and cat for over a year and has been wonderful. We have used him for home boarding and drop in visits at our home in the west side and he is always great with communication, reliable, and does great with our pets. We have been very satisfied!
Karen was absolutely wonderful and I could not recommend her enough as a pet sitter! She cared for my anxious cat and really took her time to accommodate to her feeding schedule and encourage plenty of playtime. This was my first time leaving my cat with anyone for a week and Karen easily exceeded my expectations and calmed my nerves! She took her time to understand my cat and her quirks and even went out of her way to buy her treats. She also constantly updated me and sent many videos and pictures which I absolutely loved. I will most definitely be rebooking again with her in the future. My cat is safe, healthy, and happy, and it’s all thanks to Karen!😄
Alexandria is a great cat sitter! She has done check in visits for my boy twice and both times went well. She takes lots of pictures for his drop-in card and does the extra care tasks I requested 😁. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a cat sitter!
Veto decided to be a little extra during his mani/pedi this month and Alexa went above and beyond to make sure it got done. She is always amazing and even though Veto wasn't happy, he still gave her kisses at the end because he loves her too. Thank you, Alexa! 😺
