“Alexa was so communicative and great with my cat! He takes oral medication and she handled it so well. Thank you, Alexa!! I felt very comfortable leaving my cat home alone for a week knowing you were checking on him.”


2. Lisbeth R.

“I was hesitant about using Rover for my pet, however Lisbeth took such great care of my cat while I was away. She followed all directions, was in constant communication and sent multiple photos as well. She ease all my anxiety, 10/10 would recommend and use her again.”


3. Juan A.

“Juan is extremely caring and compassionate and has a genuine love for dogs. He was always on time, very professional and immediately developed a bond with our dog. We highly recommend Juan!”


4. Victoria A.


“Thanks for being sure our girl, Nessie, got out this week. We appreciate having a reliable person to care for her. I hope your dog is doing better and home from the vet. She will see you next week!”


5. Christina G.
“Christina is reliable, caring, compassionate, and considerate. Her knowledge and understanding of the love and care that dogs need and deserve make her a complete package! I know my pup is in the absolute best hands with Christina and you can trust yours will be too!”


6. Zachary Y.

“Zach managed to track to our side of town in the badly plowed streets after the snow storm, not leaving Ophelia without food or ability to relieve herself.”


7. Emily S.
“Emily is, without a doubt, the best caregiver we have ever had for our cats. She always goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of our boys, Dwight and Rocco. While all that we ever require is that Emily feeds the cats and cleans their litter, she spends a lot of time playing with them and giving them plenty of attention. Emily also takes the best pictures of our cats which are so much fun to receive when we are away and miss them. Sometimes I feel the cats are disappointed when we walk in the door and it's not Emily!”


8. Leah G.

“Leah did a fantastic job taking care of my Bailey. Super responsive, accommodating and reliable. She sent me multiple pictures of my furbaby and followed requests with his feeding (as he is a super finicky eater). Leah took care of Bailey as if he was her own and I would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you!”


9. Samuel L.

“Sam did a great job with our two cats. One was rather timid and he worked with her over the booking to get her from only eating on the stairs, to eating in the kitchen where she normally eats. We appreciated his patience with the cats and his willingness to play with them every day as they are very curious and energetic!”

About: I do not book clients who do not have photos of their pets posted. Depending on the type pet, each one has a particular routine that they like to follow or different ways of communicating. At first there’s a little bit of a getting to know you period, but I am attentive to the pets’ needs as they communicate by attention. For cats I clean the litter box daily and follow whatever diet instructions that are needed. Healthy cats will let you know. Dogs require a little more attention at times and I enjoy taking them on walks to get some fresh air. Letting me know their habits or quirks ahead of time really help the pets when their owners are away. They appreciate having company. I am currently working full time but remotely. I have time to spend with your cat or dog when you’re away. They are always fun to have around when you’re working from home. Please do not book overnight service if you’re intending doggie day care. I will not accommodate that without an extra fee. Please message for rate details. Depending on the pet, each one has a particular routine that they like to follow or different ways of communicating.

11. Jack K.

“Jack was anwesome! He came right on time and thoroughly did everything we told him to do. He exceeded all expectations with his care for our dog, Colby. Not only did he ensure Colby’s physical exercise needs were met, but he also went above and beyond by capturing numerous funny photos of Colby during their walk, when he was fed, and when he was playing with him. We're very grateful for Jack's dedication and the joy he brought to both our dog and us. 5 stars!”


12. Anne R.

“Excellent job Anne. Thx for everything.”


13. Milena & Pedro M.


“Took great care of our little friends”


14. Andrea S.

“Andrea was a perfect companion for Snorre! She was flexible and navigated her way to my apt with ease even though it’s pretty confusing instructions. He was not by the door crying when I returned home in the morning :•)such a relief! has a new pal for my overnight shifts!”


15. Whitney P.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and owner with over 10+ years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog owner and additional years of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments since I’ve never not had a dog under the same roof as myself. I understand that your dog is much more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why I treat every pup I walk with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or just some loving companionship while you’re away or working, I’m here to help. I know firsthand from many years of working in the city before I started working from home that it’s hard to find reliable care and someone you know you can trust with your pup while you’re busy - I am here to help you out! I’m reliable, responsible, and flexible with scheduling to fit your needs as I work from home every day and can be available without much notice. Your dog’s safety and happiness (as well as your sanity while at work or away) are my top priorities- if you need help let me know! :) I’m a very flexible mom who works from home every day so can work around your needs even at the last minute. I have 2 children that love dogs and well and can be available without much notice to help out! I have a large fenced in yard and a dog who loves to play with other dogs if your pup is open to it :)


16. Millie P.
“Millie loves all animals as if they are her own. I have watched her as she has taken care of numerous dogs and cats. They all love her as much as she lives them!”


17. Jhony M.
“He take care of my two English bulldogs for one week when i was at my honey moon, and he was so friendly and lovely with my dogs, after that week i pay him for take my dogs out three times a week when i was working at the city.”


18. Megan K.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, continued through college, and now I have a senior dog of my own; so I truly understand the patience and attentiveness older dogs need. Whether it’s a puppy or a senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s personality and needs. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I am currently home for the summer from college so I have a lot of flexibility. My daily/weekly routine will be very open to caring for your pets! When I care for pets through walks or drop-in visits, my priority is making them feel happy and comfortable. For walks, I follow your dog’s pace and routine, whether they prefer a brisk walk or a slow lap around the block. During drop ins, I make sure they get fresh water, food (if needed), playtime, and lots of affection. I follow any specific instructions you leave to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress free.


19. Grace M.
“Grace is impressive when it comes to dogs. She was a mother to a toy poodle named Rosie, and even at a young age, she always ensured Rosie was taken care of. Now, her brother has an Australian Shepherd named Lobo, and Grace goes to their apartment almost every weekend to play with Lobo and give him back rubs. Grace is always attentive and caring; she would be an excellent sitter for any pooch!!!”




20. Dorisann S.

“Dorisann has been absolutely amazing and has won over my fearful dog in a very short time! She has a calming presence and my pup feels reassured and trusts her - following her around and even trying to get Dorisann to stay longer at the end of the drop-in! She’s wonderful!”
