“Erica is so wonderful with our little kitty. I selected the wrong dates and didn't realize until we were on our trip. Erica quickly made the adjustments and rushed over to take care of our fur baby. She's incredible!”
“I‘m very pleased with the drop in visit that Zhenni provided for my pups. We came to town for a wedding and Zhenni came to the hotel to drop in on my two puppies and take them potty. She followed my specific instructions and even went beyond. She was easy to communicate with and sent a follow-up report along with photos. If I‘m in the area again, and am in need of a pet sitter, she will be my first choice. Thank you, Zhenni.”
About: I’ve been a cat mom most of my life. I enjoy getting to know their personalities and then making sure I can give them a happy life. I have brushed cats and kept their front claws trimmed. I have administered subcutaneous fluids for one of my cats; however, I am only comfortable doing that for my own. I make sure their litter boxes are always clean. If they have been diagnosed with something that requires a special diet, I make sure they have that special diet. What my cats have given me in return is that look that says they are satisfied and happy! I have done pet-sitting for the cats of my coworkers, neighbors, and friends. My priority is that they feel comfortable and secure while their parents are away. I am currently working part time with a flexible schedule, so I would love the opportunity to help you take care of your fur family whether it be because you are on vacation or working away from the home for long stretches at a time. I currently have a cat who is not a lap cat. She prefers that I get on the floor with her and pet her at her own level, so that is the place we bond. She also enjoys sleeping under tents and tunnels, so I make those so that she can feel safe. I like to know the habits and preferences of the pets I am caring for, so I can keep them as comfortable as possible while you are away. I am a big fan of maintaining routine for them.
“We’re so happy to have met Bradey. We have 2 small malteses. A blind 16 year old (Roxy) and a nervous 4 year old (Bob). Our Roxy gets very anxious and will sometimes have accidents at home. Bradey was greeted with a couple accidents and she helped clean it up. She cleaned up Roxy too. Bob was nervous at first and eventually warmed up to her after a couple treats. She gave us updates throughout the drop in which was really reassuring. She sent us pictures of our dogs and the walks which was great. She did walks with each dog and when I came home from work, they were both so calm. I was almost certain that she may not want to come back as some of our sitters have found Roxy to be overwhelming but instead she sent me the kindest message that she would love to drop in or house sit for both my babies anytime. We have booked her for our upcoming trip. We appreciate Bradey so much. Thank you for caring for our babies.”
“Lexi was amazing!!! She took such good care of my kitties and gave them lots of love. She even vacuumed up the litter area so it was nice and clean when I came home. So grateful!!!”

“Logan took wonderful care of walking our big dog and making sure she got enough exercise and stimulation. He arrived on time and was very responsive to emails and texts. He’s a pleasure to work with and we (and our dog) , wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Logan.”

“Shannon was an overall stellar sitter! She arrived on time and followed all care instructions thoroughly. Even more importantly, Shannon has a great attitude and is very caring towards my very young puppy. He absolutely loved her. I would book Shannon in the future again.”
About: My name is Lauren I live in Aliso Veijo, Ca. I love all animals and I have had 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a bunny in my life. I have grown up with many types of animals and all types of dogs big and small and very comfortable with either. My fur babies are my life and i will treat your fur babies as I would my own. I also work at a vet office so I have a lot of experience with all different breeds. And I am very comfortable administratoring meditations to sick pups. I am a responsible animal owner who always has the best interest in mind for the pet, and make it a priority that the pet is safe and happy at all times. I do work full time as dental assistant during the week! But have a lot of free time on the weekends to do drop in or walks! My personal pets are my world and my life revolves around them. I incorporate the same love and attention to all pets and animals I care for.
“Debbie is absolutely fantastic! She was on time and went above and beyond to take great care of my dog and his extra needs. My pup was happy and well-exercised after his walk, and I appreciate the updates and photos Debbie shared. Will book again!”
“Stephanie is a caring and trustworthy professional that I feel fortunate to have watch my dog Kona. Stephanie communicates clearly everything that’s happening every day, and that really eases any worries.

“We found Chelsea 10 months ago when we moved to the area and she is wonderful!! She is the only pet sitter we ever use. She is loving and our little guys (2 cats) are so comfortable around her. She truly cares about our fury friends and she’s the only reason we feel comfortable going out of town. We recommend Chelsea for anyone that needs an honest, responsive, professional and loving pet sitter! Thanks Chelsea!!”
About: Hi! My name is Brielle and I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. For all of my life, I’ve grown up with and raised animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even bunnies. I’ve personally trained my own puppy, Xena, and I understand the patience and attention it takes to raise a well-behaved dog. I take care of my own cat, Leya, who loves attention and scratches. I also have experience helping care for seniors in nursing homes, so I’m particularly sensitive to the unique needs of older pets. I am currently a nursing student working on getting my CNA and Bachelors degree. So whether you have a playful puppy/kitty or a gentle senior, I’m here to provide the loving care your pet deserves while you’re away. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for my availability anytime! I am able to provide my full attention to pet care as I don’t have a full-time job. I have a very flexible schedule and can work on any day of the week. I pay close attention to the behavior of any pet and I am sure to be respectful of your pet in their home. I am open to any suggestion or advice from the owner and would do anything to make your pet feel happy and safe.
“We were in a pinch to find a sitter for our cat Karma and were so excited when Sophia was able to confirm she could take care of her. She came around the same time everyday and provided us with pictures which let us know Karma was happy as a clam. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again.”
About: Having owned animals and aspired to be a vet since I was young has led me to training in various fields of pet care, including dogs, cats, and exotic animals! I have experience with senior, disabled/special needs and medication administration as well. Pet care is currently my full time job. I am available all days during the week/weekends/holidays and for overnight stays if needed. I can do daily pop ins for feedings/walks/play time or hourly stays depending on what is desired. I ensure that there is open communication between myself and the client and a complete understanding of expectations when caring for their pet. I would rather ask too many questions and have more than enough information than too little!

Cheryl F.
“Leaving a beloved fur baby at home alone can be stressful, but hiring Cheryl to care for our sweet cat gave us peace of mind. I know that Cheryl is a caring and devoted pet parent, leaving work to care for her elderly cat during her lunch hours. Cheryl treated our Punky as if she were her own. During her daily visits, Cheryl would spend time playing and cuddling with our fur baby. She would send photos and videos that were reassuring seeing how comfortable our cat was in Cheryl’s company. We have hired Cheryl for pet sitting needs multiple times and would gladly recommend her to family and friends. She is a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

Lauren M.
“I wholeheartedly recommend my girlfriend Lauren for the position of dog walker with Rover. Lauren is an exceptional individual with a genuine love for animals, particularly dogs, and a natural ability to connect with them. Her patience, reliability, and enthusiasm make her the perfect candidate for this role. She has prior experience working at vet clinic as well as having many pets of her own. Beyond her skills with dogs, Lauren is incredibly responsible and trustworthy. She’s punctual, communicates clearly, and takes her commitments seriously. Whether it’s sticking to a specific walking schedule or following detailed instructions from pet owners, you can count on her to deliver with professionalism and care. Lauren’s passion for dogs/animals isn’t just a job—it’s a part of who she is. Any client would be lucky to have her as their dog walker, and I’m confident she’ll exceed your expectations.”

She has sat for me many times in the past, and each and every time I have received some of the best care for my beloved pets.

Shannon H.
“Shannon is among the best pet sitters out there. Attentive, kind, communicative, flexible, and intuitive to your animal's needs. A story where he went above and beyond really stands out to me. I was out of town and he noticed my cat acting lethargic. Turns out, he had vomited in a hidden spot and was not using the litter box. He went out of his way to take him to the emergency vet on my behalf to have emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage. I can't imagine what I would have done if my pet sitter was not paying such close attention. If he had gone there to just put the food down and leave, my cat may not be here any more. Every other regular visit has gone so smoothly and amazingly. Thank you, Danny!”

Aarthi is so caring, I can tell by looking at the pictures and descriptions she sends every time. She goes above and beyond, asking me if she should turn on the AC cause the house was a bit hot! Yes please! Small things like this are huge. Thank you Aarthi!💕

Stephanie communicates clearly everything that’s happening every day, and that really eases any worries.
