“Kimberly is simply the best! We know our dogs are in great hands with her not only because she sends lots of great updates, but also because our dogs look around for her when we get home with their tails wagging like crazy. They like most people, but they really love Kimberly!! This is our second time booking Kimberly’s sitting services and we are so happy to keep working with her in the future. Kimberly is a true professional, a great communicator, a clear dog lover, and simply a pleasure to work with. She also takes great care of our home while we’re away, giving us a huge amount of relief and peace of mind to be able to enjoy time away. I just can’t say enough good things—we are so lucky we found her, our dogs absolutely love her, and she is the best any pup or pup parent could ask for!! Thank you so much Kimberly!”


“He followed all of my instructions to a T and was a great house guest. I really appreciate how fast he communicated with me throughout the process. My dog normally barks at people and his calm presence was a nice fit to keep Kuta calm.”


“Victoria was very calm, collected and kind. She was flexible with our last minute needs and able to handle our very high energy doberman puppy with ease. Will be booking again - 10/10!”



“Ashley is awesome! She came to my home and took care of my brand new puppy, who has quite a demanding schedule. I was a super anxious new puppy mom and she put me at ease, kept me updated, and was super flexible and accommodating. Basil loved her and I felt like he was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!”


“Jordan was so great! My nervous dog was on her lap within a few minutes. She sent pictures! I would 10/10 hire her again”


“Issel is always so reliable with our pups! She takes them to dog park and play with them. They love her so much! She is our go to sitter now.”


“Qishu was a great, she clearly really loves dogs and cats and they love her. She was very reliable and easy to communicate with. She sent informative updates with pictures so we knew everything was ok. I would definitely book with her again!”


“My little Taco loved Louis and Louis took care of my pup like his own. He was clear with communication and suggested we meet for a meet and greet which was such a great idea given how mistrustful my Taco can be with strangers. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”


“Dennis did a wonderful job watching my 13 month old Collie puppy. My dog is large and somewhat high energy and needs many miles of walks and Dennis did a wonderful job making sure that he got all of the mental and physical stimulation he needed. I got lots of picture updates, and felt very relaxed while leaving my dog while I was on vacation. Dennis also took great care of my home and was super responsive whenever I had questions. We did one meeting before I booked Dennis for the weekend, and then I booked him for one dog walk session before the Dog Sitting time because he was going to arrive after I had left. He was super open to everything and he reviewed my dog care instructions before I left. I felt like we had really clear really good communication. I’ve used several Rover pet sitters and Dennis is by far the best one that I’ve booked. I cannot recommend him enough! (unless you want him on the same weekend that I do and then I would still recommend him but I call dibs!)”


“Pups got superb care - could not have asked for a better sitter. Great and descriptive updates, and loving attention to detail. Has gained an incredible amount of trust from us!!”



“Ariana was amazing! Took out booking very last minute and took the best care of our dogs! Great communication, lots of photos, and she left a really sweet drawing of them. Highly recommend!!”


“Meshaal took great care of our 55 lb pup and our cat in our home while we were on vacation! They were thorough in preparing for the job, very communicative while we were away, and followed all of our feeding and exercise instructions. We would definitely have Meshaal sit for us again!”

About: I have had 16 lovely years caring for all sorts of animals including many dogs and cats! I will care for your fur baby like my very own two kitties whom i adore! I am new to the area and looking to make your live a little easier :) I manage a criminal defense firm but animals are my passion! I love to help humans and people alike. I can do Monday-Friday after 6:30 and I am readily available every weekend to help you out! I take my time to let your little one warm up to me and care for them as if they are my own. I diligently watch, care for, and protect all animals in my care :)

“Hiring Charlii to care for our two 13-year-old dogs for eight days was one of the best pet-related decisions I've ever made. Our sweet goblins are rescues with pretty complex medical and emotional needs, and Charlii handled it all with ease. One of them struggles with being left alone for more than short periods of time, and Charlii was great about hanging out with him and taking him on little adventures when she needed to be away. Our other pup is dealing with chronic kidney disease, she can be a mess (literally), but it didn't seem to phase Charlii at all. Her daily updates were frequent, including lots of photos and videos, which really helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. She handled medication (including oral) with no problems and was very attentive to all of their other needs & quirks. We also returned to a tidy house and even some welcome-back flowers, which was lovely! After the pups joined our family and we discovered how needy they were, I was afraid that I'd never be able to leave town again. I knew there was absolutely no way I'd be comfortable boarding them after the trauma they'd experienced with abandonment and living on the streets. Charlii saved us! It was such a relief to know our guys were safe, healthy and getting lots of love while we were away. We'll definitely be having Charlii back. She has such a warm, professional demeanor and is so reliable that I'd never hesitate to recommend her. The pups and I are super grateful!”


“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”


“Samantha was fantastic! Provided lots of updates. Our dog was truly well cared for. 100% recommend”


“Gurkan was the best pet sitter I’ve ever worked with! He is extremely responsive, flexible, friendly, and sent me frequent updates and photos. My cat Bug absolutely adored him. He really helped me out too when I needed to extend the dates. He took such great care of my cat and my home. He is extremely trustworthy and I would 10/10 ask Gurkan to pet sit for my kitty anytime. Thank you again!”


About: I've been living with pets since I was a baby and since then have taken on a large role in their care. I love going on walks and taking pups to experience the outside world. I've been petsitting for family, friends and neighbors for about 8 years now and I'm so excited to meet your furry friends! I just completed high school and this summer I am going to take a community college class which is on mondays and wednesdays from 1:30-5:45pm. Other than that I am free to spend time with your pets! I will keep a keen eye on your pets and I am very good at assuring doors are closed and food is put away (my dog has been know to steal things from the counters and try to escape so I'm used to lil rascals).

“Devyn was great! She was communicative and made sure we knew exactly was going on. Our boy, Moose, is shy but she was patient and loving with him even though he was standoffish. We will use her services again!”


“Maddie is a very reliable and trustworthy person. She was communicative throughout her overnight stay with my cat Zoe, who is less than enthusiastic about anyone other than me. I will definitely book with her again.”
