“Panisara is an amazing sitter! She came to our apartment to take Chuco out for a walk and bathroom break and she can totally be trusted. She was very communicative and sweet to Chuco and I really appreciate this. Will be booking again for sure!!”

“Alexander is literally one of the best sitter we had for Lisbon. Lisbon was sick while Alexander was around but he made sure to stay around until Lisbon was well. i will 100% recommend him.”


“Joshua did a great job house sitting our timid dog while we went on vacation for a few days. He really went the extra mile to make sure Stella was happy and comfortable. He was also very quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had when we were away!”


“Ava was so wonderful with both Business and Frankie. Frankie, in particular, is very skittish and scared around new people but Ava was so patient with her which helped her come out of her shell. Ava went above and beyond what was asked and we will definitely be booking her again!”


About: Some of my earliest memories are of rolling around on the floor with my dog, Jake, an even-tempered old yellow lab. My dogs are my best friends, I'd love to give your dogs the love and care I'd ordinarily give mine. I've had plenty of experience pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and clients with large, medium, and small dogs with a variety of medical and dietary needs - I do not mind a complicated care routine :) I am available to walk and care for your dogs during the day and on weekends! I’m happy to do early morning walks or drop ins as needed. I promise to care for your pet the way I would care for mine! I'll make sure we have clear communication about expectations and respect that there's trust involved in letting someone else care for your animal.

“Eva is great! This was my first time booking a sitter on Rover, and I felt confident that my cat Mochi was in good hands. She sent lots of photos and Mochi looked like she was having a blast playing. I'd definitely reach out to Eva for petsitting needs going forward”
