“Cheri took such wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. She was so helpful and kind, and we are glad to have her to take care of business while we are away. thank you so much!”

“Tawnia has been wonderfully consistent and communicative. If you're looking for a mature, consistent pet sitter, look no further. She treats her Rover commitments seriously. She communicates her needs/preferences clearly and responds respectfully to any special requests I've made. I feel that she goes above & beyond with her report cards, sending cute photos and descriptive updates of the visit each day. Her help has been so instrumental and appreciated as I work long hours and have gone through quite a life transition this past year. Thank you, Tawnia!”

“Brooke did a wonderful job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week and a half. Our cat is shy, but warmed up to Brooke after only a few days. Thank you for taking such good care of Nova!”

“Adrienne was an excellent sitter/walker for my hyperactive Brittany. He needs his walks in foothills daily and Adrienne was prompt with her arrivals and always provided a cute photo of my pup enjoying his walk. This really put me at ease for my first trip away from my dog. I would highly recommend Adrienne for your sitter/walker needs!”

“Alexis was so thorough and caring when she took care of my cats! Her updates were everything I needed so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. My cats loved her- normally one of them is usually pretty scared with new people and she took so many pictures of him out & about! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her pet sitting care again when the time comes.”

“Angela was great with my older dog stopping in for visits. It was clear from photos they had fun and got plenty of love and care. Professional, timely and easy to communicate with - will definitely reach out again for her.”

“Katie is utterly reliable, very flexible with arrangements and a real animal lover. My timid cat trusted her straight away. I felt very reassured knowing that Katie was caring for my cats.”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since 5 years old. Grooming, walking, cleaning up after them and loving them. I have added birds, ferrets, and turtles to my pets in my adulthood. I foster neonatal kittens. I have trained many dogs and have shown them in obedience. I have had elderly dogs and cats and have helped them through their needs in old age. I love to throw the ball for your dog, play with cats or just sit and pet them, make sure they have their food on time and always have water. I can walk you dog around the block or for 5 miles. I am very experienced in reactive dogs and walking them. I have had large and small dogs. My last two dogs were Dobermans. I will be reliable and follow your instructions. I am a retired Occupational Therapist and have recently lost my sweet friend and companion, my dog Scarlet. I have time now to help others out who need someone to provide love and care to their pet. I am looking to care for your pet in your home. I may, be able to take a cat or dog into my home sometimes, but I have chickens in my backyard so it is not available. At your home I can stay overnight if necessary or just come and care for your pet in the comfort they are used to. I am reliable and trustworthy and will give all the love and care your pet needs and wants.
About: I lost my sixteen-year-old fur baby in October, 2018 and find myself missing that special energy only pets can bring. I have been caring for various pets for my friends and family for about 20 years and have done drop ins and overnight visits. I do have a full-time 8-5:30, Monday-Friday (and many Saturdays) job however, and am not available to provide constant care for pets. I do have more than enough time to devote myself to the love and care of your fur baby. In my home, in my life, dogs and cats are family and deserve the same love, care, and respect that human beings deserve. Perhaps more. While I have more experience with dogs I haven’t met a cat I couldn’t win over. Rest assured that if you place the care of your beloved pets in my hands they will be well loved while you are out of town. Your home will be cared for as well. I do have a “regular” 8 am to 5 pm job. My evenings and nights are free. Weekends are also more flexible for me when it comes to spending quality time with your baby. I am not able to provide constant care. I live in an apartment complex so I am more than happy to visit your fur baby in their own environment. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible so I’d prefer to maintain the schedule and comfort they’re used to.
“Heaven is just wonderful! When we did our meet and greet, I found that she had read both of my big dogs' profiles. She asked relevant questions about each dog's health and medical needs. She came wearing a small bell so that my blind dog would know where she was--so smart and thoughtful! Upon successive drop in visits, she made sure to follow all directions, gave each dog individual attention and belly rubs (which they loved!) and also made sure they had a backyard visit. She sent pictures and notes following each visit. It is very obvious that Heaven has dog experience and takes their care seriously. I am looking forward to using her services in the future and feel very happy to have found her!”

“Max followed the instructions, was communicative, and, though my cat didn’t seem to warm up too much, Wybie seems happy and healthy, which is all I hope for at the end of a trip.”


“Cristina was a wonderfully attentive pet ❤️ sitter. She went far beyond in her care of Cal Kitty. Her knowledge and efforts resulted in my confidence she was a capable and affectionate care giver. I am very happy with her 💕!”

“Holly and Robert did a great job, arriving in the time frame requested, walked our dog along familiar neighborhood routes, sending text notes and pictures. We will use them again for sure!”


“By far the best drop-in experience and it genuinely seems like Jana loves my dogs as much as they love her. She is always excellent and I will be happy to use her services as long as they are available to me!”

“Our fur babies were so happy to have Valerie take care of them! She did an excellent job! She kept them healthy and happy. Her daily reports and photos were very reassuring. We are so thankful to Valerie for the love and care she gave our pets.🩷🩷”

“Hosanna took excellent care of my Siberian husky while I was out of town for three days. She even walked him using his gentle leader! She was very communicative as well. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her again.”


“This was our first time using a service for our family pet. Patricia was excited to meet our elder dog and was so kind and loving. The experience with Patricia exceeded our expectations. We will request Patricia’s care again!”

Tawnia took amazing care of our kitties!! We got home and they were ready to see us, but we could tell they were well cared for when we were gone. Thank you so much for everything, we literally couldn’t have enjoyed our I trip without you and your detailed updates with pictures. It put our mother at ease seeing them every day. 🙂

Excellent pet sitter. Took great care of my 2 cats over Christmas holiday. Sent me pictures everyday during play and treats. My cats are usually scared of people they don’t know but they came out quickly and were happy to see her. Will definitely be booking again with her for my next vacation.

Leo is an excellent pet sitter. We asked him to watch our two kitties (and some backyard strays) over a holiday while we were out of town. It was a last-minute request, and we are so thankful that Leo was available! Leo was very responsive throughout the whole booking process. When he came over for a meet-and-greet, he was attentive, perceptive, and inquisitive. It was clear that he really loves animals. While we were gone, Leo stopped by every day to tend to our girls' needs, and he made sure to spend time playing with both of them. He even got our shy girl, Cashew, to come out and play every day, which is very special. Leo kept us up to date while we were gone and sent us several pictures and videos to let us know the girls were doing well. We highly recommend Leo for your pet-sitting needs, and we will be calling on him in the future!

This was my first time using Rover and Blake made me feel comfortable right away. Blake was very professional and you could tell that they loved animals and truly cared about their well being. I received daily updates and pictures of my cuties as well as overall reassurance that all was going well while I was gone. Thanks Blake! I’ll definitely rebook in the future!
