Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!

Jennifer was an excellent cat sitter for Melvin. She sent several pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Melvin seemed super comfortable and well cared for the entire time, and it was clear she was great with him. Communication was smooth, she was reliable, and I had no complaints at all. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Lei and Skye took wonderful care of my cat. My cat is usually very cautious around people, but she truly trusts Lei, which says a lot. Both Lei and Skye were very responsible and attentive — they checked for throw-up during every visit and cleaned everything up promptly. I could tell they genuinely cared for my cat from the heart, not just as a job. I really appreciated their patience, kindness, and dedication, and I felt very reassured while I was away.

Sophia is absolutely amazing! She was so sweet during our meet and greet and I knew she was going to take care of my senior dog so well. My pup took a liking to her immediately which was great sign. She has done so well with providing detailed visit summaries that I have no questions about how my pup did that day. She’s great at communicating if an issue arises as well. I have enjoyed having her as a sitter and would recommend her!

About: I have taken classes in dog behaviors and how they act when they might need a particular action done. I have a NAPPS certification, which is National Association of Professional Pet Sitters that is earned for all small animals, both including dogs and cats. I have had my own very young puppy, so I know how to handle and train them in a gentle manner that they will respond to. I have tons of experience in senior dogs and cats, so I am patient to more slow animals or paying attention to them more and making sure they have what they need. I have an extremely open schedule and can stay over for longer periods of time than most people. I am free almost every single day for hours on end, so finding when I can come over is no trouble. I’m easy to schedule if I need to house sit, and am extremely responsible and willing to stay overnight when needed. I love taking care of animals in their own homes, knowing they’ll feel the most comfortable surrounded by their familiar surroundings. The only thing I care about is that your furry companions are safe and cared for in a way that they don’t feel out of place or missing the love they got before you left them in my care.

Aislyn was wonderful with our puppy Scout. She was super responsive, on-time, and provided great pictures and write-ups of our visit. That was especially important to us as Scout is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving her home alone for the first time. Scout always looked so happy in the pictures and when we came home from work!

Mya stepped in last-minute (under 24 hours’ notice) when my regularly booked sitter got stuck out of town with a canceled flight back. We only had app communication but she took care of everything and had great communication while at my place with my cats. Thanks Mya!

Pamela is the best!! She took such good care of our cats, and I'm pretty sure the house is cleaner now than when we left. :) She sent detailed updates and pictures, and took extra time to play with our cats and wash our their bowls every day. She even watered our flowers outside and sent pictures of those too! We will definitely use her again and give her our highest recommendation. Thanks!!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m currently a live-in nanny, and I also care for the family’s dogs. When their owners are away, the dogs stay with me and even sleep in my room so they feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time as a live-in nanny, which allows me some flexibility for pet care. However, I do have a busy schedule with regular dog-walking clients, so availability can vary. Please message me first to confirm scheduling before booking. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs if I have an open time slot. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special requirements provided by the owner.

Lindsay was the best! I have a very clingy cat and she didn't hesitate to sit down and spend some time with her every visit. I received text and photo updates every day. It was a big relief knowing my favorites were taken care of while I was away. I'll be booking Lindsay for my time away in the future for sure!

Virginia was great with our two cats while we were away for our wedding, it was great to have peace of mind that they were in good hands. She very clearly loves cats and treated them with so much respect from their very first meeting! She also gave us updates through the Rover app each visit letting us know what mischief the cats got up to!

Maria is outstanding! She is very conscientious and attentive to detail. Communication with her is very open and easy, as she draws on her extensive experience with cats, including those with special needs and sensitivities. Ultimately, she is very caring and knows what is truly important in Pet Care... ensuring the health, safety, and comfort of your pet. Our cat is very skittish (emotional), and Maria exercised great patience with her, allowing our cat to dictate her pace and space.

We had to request a last minute sitter for our cats and Zosha was immediately responsive. He was such an amazing sitter for my two kitties! He definitely made me feel like they were in safe hands the whole time and made it very easy to enjoy my trip away without any anxiety. We got pics and updates every single visit. One of my cats required eye ointment twice a day and Zosha did such a great job despite how squirmy my one cat can be. Cannot thank him enough and will definitely be rebooking in the future!!

We feel so lucky to have Phoebe as Smokey’s sitter for years! She consistently takes such wonderful care of our cat, and it gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. You can tell Phoebe genuinely loves animals. Smokey absolutely adores her and is always so happy and comfortable in her care. Phoebe is reliable, attentive, and always keeps us updated, which we really appreciate. It is clear Smokey isn’t just being looked after - she is being cared for and truly loved. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for someone they can fully trust!
