“We’ve been so impressed with our cat sitters! Bennie & Jennie are incredibly dependable and consistently provide thoughtful, informative updates that clearly show how attentive and caring they are. It’s evident they take the time to get to know Zeke’s personality and create an environment for him to bond with the other cats.”
“Jesslyn was kind enough to take my pup on short notice. She was so sweet and easy to communicate with. My dog immediately felt at ease with her kind spirit and welcoming nature, and she returned happy :)”
“Igor provided tons of picture and videos while he was boarding with him. Igor was very helpful and professional with Ollie and that says a lot! Thank you again Igor for taking care of Ollie!”
“Ashley was fantastic! She took great care of my dog, providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love. It was clear she truly cared and went above and beyond to make my pup feel comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book again!”
“Leaving our 8 month old frenchie with Doug was so helpful. It was comforting to receive some photos and videos while we were away. We would definitely book with Doug again!”
“Connie is by far the most wonderful sitter our little Maple has ever had. Connie was so kind, professional, playful, and clearly just loves dogs. Dog people are the best people, and Connie is the best of the best. She so clearly kept Maple on a wonderful schedule and sent incredible photos throughout the day. Maple came back having learned how to do high-fives and didn’t have a lapse in any of her recall, which means Connie worked with her on everything we train her with. I cannot recommend Connie enough, and feel so grateful to have found her.”
“Derek was amazing with our 8 mo puppy! It was our dog's first time away from home but we felt so at ease thanks to his great communication and constant photo and video updates. He has great knowledge of dog behavior and knew exactly how to socialize our anxious puppy so she was able to gain confidence and start playing with the other dogs quickly.”
“Nuri had a blast with Charlene during his two week stay!! We got adorable photos and videos of him everyday which made us feel relieved and less guilty while enjoying our vacation ? she’s a great communicator and could tell she took a great care of our baby! Thank you so much!! We’ll definitely return to Charlene if needed ??”
“It was my first time being away from my dog and Wonton's first time with a sitter. Patricia did a great job answering my questions and addressing my concerns. I was able to get daily picture updates during his stay with her and it seemed like he really enjoyed his stay. Highly recommend Patricia”
“Katie continues to be the most thoughtful dog sitter! She always makes sure Tilly is having a well rounded visit with lots of activities and good quiet time. Tilly really does love spending time with Katie!”
“This was our first experience with Rover so my anxiety was through the roof. However, Baining was absolutely the BEST first experience. She gave frequent updates and pictures and even gave us a small dog training tip! She was extremely responsive and our pup looked so happy in every picture she sent. We will definitely be booking with Baining again if we can!!”

As a freelance remote worker, I have the flexibility to dedicate ample time and attention to pet care.

Owners receive regular photo/video updates for peace of mind.
“Our dog was so happy to see Nika again! Nika always takes good care of her and you can tell she really loves animals. We also were stuck at Disneyland and couldn't get out quickly due to the crowds - we felt so bad because we were almost a full hour late to picking her up. Nika was so gracious and understanding. Thank you, Nika!”
“Lea was fantastic! She took amazing care of my golden retriever providing frequent updates and cute photos, which made me feel completely at ease during my trip. She was incredibly flexible with my changing travel schedule, and it was clear Sammy loved spending time with her. I highly recommend Lea and will definitely book her again!”
“Top line: Lisa is absolutely AMAZING and a wedding day saver! 11/10 recommended and would trust her over and over again with our girls. She is beyond sweet and a true animal lover. Complete review: Originally our fur babies were going to be a part of our big day; however, we had to pivot our plans. Our fur-babies are so special and have not stayed with one other than immediate family. Trusting a “stranger” is scary. Nonetheless, we are so happy we found her. Lisa is extremely communicative and sends the cutest updates. Our girls had THE BEST time with her. She was so loving to them that our doodle (Venus) was no impressed by seeing me after 2 days :’( lol. Lisa, thank you from the bottom of our ♥️ you’re heaven sent❤️”
“My husband and I have always wrestled with who to let take care of our lab when we’re out of town and have always counted on friends and family in the past but always hate to impose. We decided to try Rover for our most recent trip and could not be more happy with Tina and her family for their attention to detail and daily updates. Would highly recommend….”
“I have nothing but the absolute best things to say about Johnny! This was my first time leaving my doggo with a non-family member while I went away and I was definitely nervous as he is a pretty anxious dog and doesn’t necessarily like everyone he meets. But he absolutely loved Johnny! I can tell that he felt safe and comfortable with him. I loved that Johnny provided me daily updates along with pictures and videos. He had so much patience with my doggo and I respect and appreciate it immensely. 1000/10 would recommend Johnny and will definitely be booking him again!! Thank you so much for loving and taking care of my furry baby!”
“Thank you for taking him in last minute. 😊”
“Michelle was great! My guys were not the easiest houseguests with their first time away from home. Michelle provided many updates along with pictures and I never had a doubt that there were in great hands. Thank you Michelle!”
“Shoshanna did an excellent job watching my dog. she even brought him to the beach for long walks and sent me updates along the way. i would highly recommend Shoshanna to take care of your pet!”
