“Milena took such wonderful care of Peaches and Goron while we were away. Both of our dogs are older and need a lot of patience and empathy, and she handled that with ease. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She was also very communicative throughout her stay, keeping us updated and making sure we felt connected while we were gone. On top of that, she treated our home with great respect and left everything in excellent condition. We’d absolutely book Milena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter and wonderful human being.”

“Tatiana was wonderful with our puppy! She was caring, playful, and very knowledgeable. She not only followed all of our requests but also went above and beyond with her own thoughtful touches. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in her hands”

“Charlie is amazing!! He took great care of our dog Kira, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. He was attentive to her needs, especially given her sensitive stomach, and kept us updated with regular check-ins. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend! Let me know if you want any tweaks!”

“Victoria took wonderful care of our puppy for several hours and did an amazing job! She made sure our pup was well fed, played with her, and kept her happy the entire time. She was very organized, attentive, and followed all our instructions perfectly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: Experienced dog & cat sitting of all ages. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I work from home 5 plus years now, I have the flexibility for pet care. I also volenteer at a local cat adoption place walking distance from my home I can feed, walk & crate furry friends and sometimes have playtime at a park if needed. Per pet, I follow their specific routine for feeding, exercise, and medication, while also ensuring a safe and clean environment. Communicate with the owner beforehand.
“I felt very comfortable leaving my 2 cats in Leticia’s care. Very reliable and consistent with timing. I received daily updates including photos. I highly recommend Leticia for your pet sitting needs.”

“Alexandra was a wonderful sitter for our home and pets. Animals seemed very comfortable and happy in her company and she sent lovely updates daily. She was very responsive and accommodating and took excellent care of our home. Thanks for everything, Alexandra!”

“I highly recommend CeeCee for your pet and home sitting needs. We hired her to look after our overly affectionate cat and our quirky pit-mix pup while out of town for 6 days. CeeCee was communicative, sent pictures, and took care of needs as requested, including watering plants. She kept the house tidy, even throwing in a load of wash at the end of her stay. We will definitely be repeat customers for future pet sitting needs.”

About: For a little over four years I've been the go-to pet sitter for my coworkers when they go on vacation. I've researched all things related to dogs pretty much from the moment I learned to use a computer because I've spent almost all my life trying to convince my parents to get a dog. Spoiler alert, I was unsuccessful ): but not for lack of trying ("dogs are too big of a financial commitment" according to them... but four kids isn't??? but I digress lol)! Training has always been fascinating to me, it never fails to amaze me how smart dogs are! Overall I just love their energy and how loving they can be, being around dogs is truly therapeutic and does wonders for your mental health! You're so blessed to have one in your life and I would be honored to care for them (: <3 Sunday-Wednesday and Friday I work 7-3 and I’m off all day on Thursday and Saturday! Currently taking a break from school, so as soon as I get out of work I'll be free to devote my time to your doggies (: I live in a big apartment with a home office that I turn into the doggy room essentially although they are welcome to roam throughout the apartment of course! My neighborhood is very walkable (one of my favorite things about where I live) and I’m about a mile and a half away from like 3 parks!
“Peter is such a well-spoken, considerate, and accommodating young man. My dog immediately fell in love with him, and Peter offered the care I would've given if I were home-- and then some! Peter not only offers exemplary pet care, but also conducts himself in an organized and cleanly matter. You can be confident that he will keep your house in pristine condition. I didn't ask him to, but he vacuumed, took out the trash, and cleaned the dogs' water and food bowl. I would recommend Peter to anyone with pet needs because you can tell he cares about the work that he does. His rates are fair, he is open to negotiate, and you can count on him to respond. Peter has set the bar for pet care, and pet owners should never have to expect any less. He sends consistent updates, and spends quality time with your pet. Without a doubt, I will be booking with him in the future!”

“Eric is first and foremost a very kind person. He is obviously a pet lover, and our dog Daisy enjoys being the beneficiary of his attention. In fact,this morning she was looking for him, and I had to convince her to eat her breakfast! Eric is also great at staying in touch. I never have to wonder how things are going as there are photos and notes to reassure me. I guess I am a helicopter pet mom, so this is great. If I had to go on an extended trip and leave my pup, Eric would be my first and perhaps only choice. If you want to travel with confidence, look no further.”

“We are happy and satisfied with the three days that Keka has been house-sitting our pawlove Hazel. Sure they had quality time playing around the house and outside during their walk. On top of that she got to provide Hazel with some Training that she needed. We appreciate so much the time she spent with our Hazel. We will surely recommend her to our other paw parent friends and surely it won't be the last for Keka & Hazel.”
“Oh my goodness! I cannot say anything better about Marco! He not only took amazing care our 3 dogs. He sent pictures, videos and kept us updated. Not only that, he respected our home, and went above and beyond with taking care of linens and laundry. He is amazing!”

About: In addition to having worked via Rover for about six weeks (as of March '26), with many pleased recurring and one-time cusomers, caring for a range of dogs from a massive greyhound to a two-decade-old moniature almost at hospice-level care, I've taken care of two family dogs who became family members, one of which I rescued from a neglectful owner. I was a hands-on dad to my son, and as a single parent knew well how to feed and change him and care for him when he was sick. As a senior, I've the experience and "seasoning" to know what's important, whether it's an infant or child or a family dog, and how to see to it that the one in my care is well cared for, happy, and loved. Since the condo development where my wife and I live doesn't allow dogs, I take special pleasure in spending time with them at every opportunity. I come from a long line of dog lovers on my dad's side, and proudly carry on that tradition. I'm a retiree who does part-time volunteer work, both hands-on with elementary-school-aged children and legislative and policy advocacy on behalf of folks with intellectual and developmental disabilities. My other major activities are staying in shape and learning a foreign language. These part-time gigs, and the fact that my wife works part-time, leave me enough time to do some pet care. I cannot care for pets in my home, or for that matter have a dog, because the condo development where I live does not permit dogs. I care for dogs in their owner's homes, following their owners' lead, so to speak, and according to their owners' directives. Fortunately, this means that the dogs I care for, who know their way around their own turf, do not need to adjust to new environs. As a guest myself, I am naturally inclined to treat the home where I find myself with extra care and respect, more so than I would my own home.
About: I have been watching dogs for 7 years now and have a special spot for elderly dogs, and dog that are anxious. But I have experience with a wide range of ages and breads. I have experience with dogs with anxiety as well as giving oral medication to dogs and have many repeat owners coming to me. They all feel loved and special at my home. Which is why I only watch one dog at a time to give my full attention to them as well as it helps most anxious types to be alone. I also love giving dogs a bath if the owner is ok with it AND the dogs are ok with it 🙂 I have a somewhat flexible schedule for my job. I walk the dogs in the morning and leave around 9am and am usually back 3pm (Monday-Wednesday). When I come home in the afternoon I give the dog another walk as well as their evening walk. I am pretty flexible and am present most times and I am very free from Thursdays through the weekend. This depends on the personality of the dog. If the dog loves being pet, they can hang with me on my couch where they are pet. If they love playing I throw the ball around with them. I am attentive to their food and drink and talk to them 😂 and let them know how cute they are. Every dog is different in what they like and need for their care. So that is something that is discussed before hand with the client.
“A dream come true! Amanda is a sweet and responsible gentle soul who took excellent care of our elderly dog for a weekend. We received lots of pics and updates and the house was in perfect order when we returned. We will definitely be booking Amanda again!”

Jill was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch Teddy and Frankie. Teddy had plenty of walks and play time and Frankie even came out to spend time with Jill (and she’s not normally friendly). She made us feel less stressed on our trip because our pets were being well taken care of.

Nicole is the most caring, kind, respectful, and sweet dog sitter ever. She sends photos of the dogs and communicates all day! She makes it so much easier to leave our 2 mini dachshund puppies at home while we are at work knowing we have an amazing person taking care of them. Nicole goes above and beyond to provide the best care to our babies and we will absolutely be using her again for dog/ house sitting. She is the very best of the best!

Emily was absolutely wonderful with Ruby. She kept her happy and comfortable, was always on time for her potty breaks, and truly spent quality time caring for her. It was clear Ruby was well loved and in great hands. We would happily and confidently hire Emily again.
Andrea was professional, caring, and very dependable. She was a very good communicator which made interacting with her was extremely easy! I would recommend Andrea to anyone who is leaving their pet in their home when they travel. She took good care of the house and more importantly she took excellent care of our dog!

Victoria took wonderful care of our puppy for several hours and did an amazing job! She made sure our pup was well fed, played with her, and kept her happy the entire time. She was very organized, attentive, and followed all our instructions perfectly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
