“This was such a great process and caretaker. Ynes provided photos, came at the scheduled times, and did sweet things outside of the standard, such as asking for a jacket for my chihuahua because it was raining. Highly recommend.”

“Mateo was responsive and communicative to us humans and most importantly kind and loving to our cat. I highly recommend his services and will definitely be booking with him in the future.”

“Allison was fantastic with my two cats! She handled everything with care, including giving one of my cats her shot without any issues. The visit notes were detailed and thoughtful, which gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“We requested a little check up with Natalie last minute and she replied very quick! We are so thankful she was able to check up and feed our cat and do other things for her like refill her water and scoop out her litter box while we were out of town! I definitely recommend her.”

“Yuriko showed up for a last minute request, including driving all the way somewhere else for a key exchange, on Thanksgiving and kept up with communication and instructions.”


“Baysia was an excellent communicator who kept me updated with detailed check-ins and photos. She seemed so sweet with my pups and it was clear they were comfortable with her. She was also incredibly flexible on short notice, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs, so taking care of them has always felt really natural to me. At one point, we had around seven dogs at home, so I got used to being around all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities from a young age. I’d treat your dog like I would my own and would make sure they’re happy and loved while they’re with me! I’m a D1 student-athlete at Rice, so I stay pretty active and already have a structured routine. Outside of classes and training, I have plenty of time to fit in walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. My schedule can vary a little week to week, but I’m very organized and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always try to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, crate time, or any specific instructions you have.
“Joe has been taking great care of my dog, August. He is very thorough with his visits, leaving my pup happy and well-exercised along with a good note and some pictures so I know my dog is happy! Joe is very reliable, and my dog is noticeably happier after his visits. Thank you for taking great care of my dog!”

About: Hello, I have dedicated the past four years to training and caring for my own service dog, gaining hands-on experience in advanced obedience, emotional support, and psychiatric service dog (PSD) training. My expertise goes beyond basic pet care—I specialize in helping dogs become confident, well-mannered companions who provide meaningful support to their owners. I am currently building Peace Dogs, a program designed to empower individuals on their healing journey by guiding them in training their dogs as emotional support or psychiatric service dogs. Through this initiative, I work with dogs of all backgrounds, helping them develop the skills and temperament necessary to thrive in high-stimulation environments while maintaining a calm, supportive presence. What Sets Me Apart? ✔ Specialized Training – I have experience training emotional support and psychiatric service dogs, tailoring techniques to each dog’s personality and needs. ✔ Behavioral Expertise – Whether your dog is shy, excitable, or in need of structure, I adjust my approach to provide a safe and enriching experience. ✔ Premium, Personalized Care – I offer a high-touch, professional service that prioritizes your pet’s well-being, ensuring they receive top-tier care tailored to their routine. ✔ Balanced Socialization – My own trained service dog often accompanies me to sessions, providing a calm and structured socialization opportunity for dogs who would benefit from it. ✔ A Holistic Approach – I believe in the emotional and psychological well-being of both pets and their owners, ensuring each experience fosters growth and trust. With my expertise and commitment, I provide more than just pet sitting—I offer a tailored, enriching experience that helps your dog thrive. As a dedicated professional in canine care and training, I have the flexibility to provide consistent, high-quality attention to your pet. I work remotely and actively within my community, leading Peace Dogs—a specialized emotional support and psychiatric service dog school and community.

About: I’ve been working with animals since I was in high school and pursued a career in Veterinary Medicine up until I switched careers in grad school. I worked at the Philadelphia Zoo for 4 years, have trained service dogs in college, as well as cared for various domestic, farm and exotic animals. Although I switched careers, I’ve become the go to person for dog sitting and have been told by multiple people that I’m the only person they trust their family (pets) with and their dogs always come home with good spirits after spending time with me! As an entrepreneur my schedule is super flexible and I work from home most times, which means frequent potty breaks, monitoring and playtime. Although I’m not a trainer, I do practice positive reinforcement & soft skills if I have your pet for an extended period of time. I’m excited to get to know your pet! I’m a full time entrepreneur so I make my own schedule, have flexible work hours and work from home majority of the time. I’m also very active, so getting outside for long cardio, outside of potty breaks, is expected! The first thing I like to do when caring for pets is “dog-proofing” in the way someone would do for children. That means ensuring nothing of importance or anything that can be harmful to your pet is easily accessible. I also have a camera inside so I can check in if I have to step out.
“Raven was a wonderful sitter! She arrived on time, communicated well throughout the stays, and took great care of my dog. She also left thorough notes & pictures for me to review while I was gone! Trust her, your animals will be in good hands. I plan to rebook with her for future care!”

“June was FANTASTIC and made leaving my girls so much easier! She left details note gave them lots of love and care. I will absolutely book again!! If I could give 10 starts I would!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of family and friends for over 10 years. Just like humans dogs are all different I always like to check with the owner the expectations set in place while babysitting. I will also take lots of photos 🥰. I love to capture photos of furry friends I recently transitioned to evening shifts. If weather permits I take my dog to the doggie park every morning and would like more doggie friends to join. I have a fenced back yard and a camera. I also have my Minnie doxie that will keep company if needed. There’s a designated area for furry friends.
“Annie was very responsive, thoughtful and efficient. I appreciated the extra care, pictures, updates and communication for the drop ins with our Yorkie. It was our first time using Rover for care while we were on a trip and Annie exceeded our expectations.”

Sama was absolutely amazing in taking care of our two kitties. She was so sweet and obviously had a love for animals. She was very consistent and thorough during each visit. We felt so comfortable knowing she was watching our cats for us while we were away. We would definitely choose her again!

This is my second time booking Rebecca and she's truly the best! She's really great with my cats and it's a relief to not constantly worry about them while we were away on vacation. Even my one cat who is very shy seems to have warmed up to her this time around. I feel like Rebecca really goes out of her way to make sure my babies are cared for, even cleaning out their litter boxes. She sends lots of pictures and communicative if she has any questions. I'll continue to book with Rebecca for as long as she'll have us.

Such a great experience! It makes me so happy knowing Lottie feels comfortable and does so well with someone new. I really appreciate the kindness, patience, and care shown to her. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands while I was away. Very reliable and thoughtful, and I would absolutely book again! Highly recommend!

We’re so happy we found Nathalie! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about leaving our kitten, but Nathalie made us feel so comfortable and reassured. She went above and beyond to take care of him, making sure he was fed, helping us clean his eyes, and giving him lots of care and attention. She also shared so many photos and videos with us, which meant a lot and made us feel connected to him while we were away. It was so sweet to see him doing well and know he was in such caring hands. We’re truly grateful to Nathalie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, thoughtful, and reliable to care for their pets. We would love to book with her again! :)

We LOVE Andrew! My dog ran up to him like a long lost friend at the M&G…I knew right away he was in great hands! Andrew was so kind and so flexible with my schedule and sent the best pictures. It’s such a blessing to find someone you trust AND that your dog loves! We would recommend him to anyone!
