âWilliam really put us at ease with his kindness, attention to detail and overall professionalism during our absence. Our boy was his regular self when we returned which speaks to the calm effective way he was cared for. Thanks William!â

âSophia was incredible. She came to our house and shone as an amazing pet sitter. She had time, experience with pet sitting and she asked all the right questions. She played with our cats and even picked up a bag of chocolate that was on the floor for us which would have been a big hazard. Sophia went above and beyond and did the litter and our cats are very picky. I feel overall the cats were well loved and cared for while we were away which is a great blessing and Iâm so glad we booked Sophia to take care of our pet needs. I recommend her 10/10. Thank you Sophia!!!â

âLingshan was fantastic! She checked in on my cat over the holidays, and she was so attentive and thoughtful in her care of our cat and home. We will highly recommend her!â

About: Iâve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. Iâve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and Iâve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
âJefferson is fantastic! Very responsive and quite knowledgable about German Shepherds! Our puppy really enjoyed meeting him and we've subsequently booked him for recurring visits. He's even working with him on some puppy training, learning/reinforcing commands. I would highly recommend Jefferson for your pet care needs!â

âAfter our pet sitter moved overseas, I was extremely nervous about finding the right new fit for my cat squad. Ariana is a true cat whisperer. Even our shyest wallflower cat, who tends to remain under her emotional support chair when guests are present, immediately bonded with her. Not only does Ariana provide excellent, reliable, and compassionate pet care, she also goes out of her way to write thoughtful reports and take high quality pictures which eases pet pawrentsâ separation anxiety. I highly recommend Ariana and look forward to being a repeat client. Thank you so much for taking care of my looney tunes, Ariana!â

âXin did a fantastic job looking after our cat over the holidays. She was great at communicating, got along well with our cat, and was very mindful of the urinary issues that we advised her to look out for. I would absolutely book Xin again.â

About: Iâve had a dog as a pet for 20 years, i bring a calming , reassuring presence. Attention to detail, willing to keep owners updated on dogs behavior. Iâm prepared and able to adapt to any situation.. Right or wrong , Iâve been called a Dog Whisperer a few times . I work 100% remote, my schedule is very flexible .. I can be available for afternoon or evening walks/ visits. Scheduling 2 weeks out is preferable I live in a condo, willing to use the owners crate if necessary, or any other bed/blanket toys for creating a comfortable safe environment for the dog
âChristine is doing drop in visits for our two dogs during the day and she has been wonderful. Sheâs on schedule, provides nice updates and has gone the extra step to make sure when one of our dogs had an issue that concerned her. Sheâs wonderfulâ

âMariana was a great babysitter for my cat Reggie! I really appreciated her thorough and thoughtful rover cards, and she was so responsive over text. Thank you!â

âAshley is absolutely wonderful! She is great with our giant dog and two cats! Especially our giant dog! His size often intimidates people but, he is really a giant baby. Ashley was not afraid of him and gave him endless belly rubs along with caring reassurance of her presence. Our cats love her too! We have one cat that is sort of shy but, she did not hesitate to come out in the open when Ashley was over. Ashley, I cannot thank you enough for your willingness to care for our animals. I highly recommend Ashley to care for your fur baby if you are looking for a dependable, caring, and friendly human being! We look forward to using Ashley in the near future! I would like to note that in the past we have had several pet sitters that would show up late, not change the water, not clean the cat litter box until the day before we arrived home, and not interact with our pets. Some people are natural caregivers for pets, and some are not. Ashley is 100% a natural caregiver for pets!â

âErin was great: very communicative, prompt, and kept our cats happy and healthy. Highly recommended and weâll definitely call her the next time we need pet sitting!â

About: Iâve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 17. Family, neighbors, and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, clean up after, and comfort their pets while theyâre away. Whether itâs a snuggly cat or an energetic pup, I always approach animals with patience and love. I currently work part-time, so Iâm flexible and can make time for drop-in visits or overnight stays at your home. Iâm available on weekends and most weekdays after 2PM. Iâll treat your home with careâand your pets like family. I do not offer boarding in my own home, but I provide thoughtful, reliable care in your spaceâwhere your pets feel most secure. I respect your home, follow your petâs routine, and ensure they feel safe, soothed, and seen while youâre away.
âFrancis took great care of our 2 girls (cats)!! She provided us updates daily including pictures and videos which was much appreciated. We will definitely be booking her next time weâre out of town.â

About: I will be happy to take care of your dog/dogs. My family and me have a lot of experience in doing so since we have our own dog, and often do dog sitting for our friends. I am studying online, and my parents work online full time. We have a lot of time and desire to make your dogâs stay with us comfortable. We are available at any time. I live in a big house with my family. We have a fenced backyard. We also have a super friendly Shetland Sheepdog, who will keep your fur baby company. We also live close to a huge park.

âCourtney and Lily were wonderful hosts for Tuley and were even able to accommodate our last minute request. I canât say enough great things about Courtney - sheâs kind, caring and treats my dog as if she were her own. Sheâs also flexible so pick up and drop offs are super easy. I canât recommend her enough. And I say that as someone with a dog that can be reserved around new people and dogs. While Tuley has met Courtney before and absolutely loves her, this was her first time meeting Lily. Tuley was a bit unsure of Lilyâs puppy energy at first, but Tuley warmed up to Lily pretty quickly. I know they had a blast at the dog park and playing all weekend long, because Tuley fell asleep as soon as we got home. Iâll definitely be sending Tuley to Courtneyâs next time we travel.â

Ashley was amazing! We had to unfortunately book a last minute trip for the holidays for the passing of my dad, and Ashley was not only available last minute, but quickly to respond to any messages and super patient with us while we worked out details. She went above and beyond, even bringing in our packages and trash cans, and of course taking great care of our pets. I felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in great hands and we will definitely be using her as our go-to sitter from here on out.

Sonia was great! She took great care of our older cat for more than a week when I was out of town. Sonia was very communicative and very flexible when we had to add more visits unexpectedly. I was updated the whole time and felt very comfortable that our sweet boy was well looked after. She also was kind enough to bring in some items that were left outside our home while we were away. Would gladly recommend Sonia.
