“Joycemar is soooo wonderful with our pups. After a previous sitter abandoned our Giant breed puppies, Rover got in touch with Joycemar- she promptly accepted the booking. She is godsend, she plays and bonds with the puppies, left our house super clean after every visit. She even brought some help to clean up between visits so she can bond with our puppy babies. She has now gained our trust and admiration for life. I wouldn’t think twice about rebooking her if we go on another trip. Thank you for everything Joycemar!”
“Tina was great with our pit who is a little hyper and sometimes reactive. She has a calm presence and took notes of everything we mentioned during our meet and greet. Every dog has different wants and needs and she made sure to cater to our pup. I highly recommend her and will be using her again during our next trip out of town.”
“Alina is reliable and she is great with Pablo. She treats him like family and cares for him exceptionally. She communicates promptly and openly. She’s a trusted sitter and someone I know I can count on to care for my baby.”
“Did a great job taking care of our cat including litter box cleaning, filling our automatic wet food feeder, giving him his treats, playing with him and brushing him. Dropoff and pickup of the key was super seamless. Very happy!”
“Danni is an excellent cat sitter! I was so impressed by her diligent care for my kitties. She always sent detailed updates and lots of pictures. My babies were happy to have her company because she gave them lots of love and play time. I was especially relieved to find someone who could be a reliable and trustworthy sitter for my diabetic cat. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: Since childhood I have always been the one tasked with taking care of the family pets and then the neighborhood pets. I am an attentive walker and can't wait to sit your pets! I do gig work so I am available to whomever reaches out first. I have used dog walkers for many years and would love to provide the same service back for others! I pay attention to details and any notes or directions you leave. I have reliable transportation and plenty of experience with dogs. No pet will be left unhappy in my care.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ¡Excelente experiencia! Iliana Cuidó de Moisés y Fernanda con muchísimo amor, cariño y dedicación. Se nota que realmente ama a los animales y eso me dio mucha tranquilidad mientras estuvieron bajo su cuidado. Mis perritos estuvieron felices, bien atendidos y recibieron todo el cariño que necesitaban. 🐶❤️ Definitivamente volvería a confiar en ella para cuidarlos. ¡La recomiendo 100%! 🥰🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.
“Erin was great with my boy! She was super attentive to and provided updates throughout our time away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care for their dog while they’re away from home.”
“Ava is an absolute gem! She handled both of my dogs with so much patience and love, including my hyper dog who can be a handful. She matched her energy while still keeping things calm and safe for my other dog too. Ava communicated very easily throughout the time she cared for my dogs and followed every single care instruction I left to the letter. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pet and their safety. My dogs responded well to her and I'm looking forward to booking her again. Five stars all the way. Book her, you won't regret it!"”
About: I have been a pet parent for many years and understand that every pet is unique. I currently share my home with two Huskies and four cats ranging in age from 3 to 20 years old, giving me experience caring for pets at every stage of life. One of my greatest joys has been caring for senior pets and learning their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I understand that older pets often require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also have experience with energetic dogs, independent cats, and the many different personalities that make our pets so special. I treat every animal as an individual and will provide the same loving, dependable care that I would want for my own pets. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. I am able to offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting while making sure each pet receives individual attention and care. I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine and taking the time to provide more than just the basics—making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets is a big responsibility, and I will treat both your pets and your home with respect. During visits, I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routines, provide meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, litter box care, and any needed medications. I will pay attention to your pet’s behavior and communicate with you through updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same patience, kindness, and attention I give my own.
“Sophia is amazing!! She did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Oreo. Oreo is a loving cat also and looked forward to Sophia’s daily visits. He would start meowing before she could even open the door. She cleaned up his litter that he tracked through the house and ensured he got a full 30 minutes of playtime. She also checked that he had fresh water daily. I would definitely use her again if I’m out of town.”
“Natalie is truly wonderful. My dog, Roxy, is always so excited to see her. She is prompt, reliable, and communicative. Most importantly, she treats Roxy with so much love. She even trained her to lay down as a surprise for me! Highly recommend Natalie!”
“Annaliese was wonderful. Very responsive and great with communication. She made notes of Lola’s issues/care. She provided detailed updates. She put forth her best effort with Lola. Will definitely use again.”
“Amanda’s the best! She’s so caring with our dogs, always gives us updates and makes sure to pay attention to any issues they might be having. She goes way above and beyond. 10/10.”
“Britni was AMAZING!! It was my first time using a pet sitter and she sent so many pictures and detailed messages about how he was doing and went above and beyond!! Highly recommend to anyone!!”
“Razan was so patient and kind to Peaches! She went above and beyond and took great care of my baby! Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a responsible, professional caretaker for your pup!”
“Bianca went above and beyond had two trips back to back and one last minute and she said yes without hesitation. Communicative, attentive with my fur baby. Very recommended. I will definitely use her services again.”

Alina was incredibly attentive, responsible, and communicative. She kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy leaving your dog with someone else, but Alina made the entire experience feel effortless. My dog was clearly comfortable and happy with her, and that says everything.
Viviana was so great with Cheerio! Very tentative and kept me updated every visit and even stayed with her when Cheerio wasn’t feeling the greatest. She went above and beyond in her care with Cheerio and made her feel so loved. Definitely recommend having her watch your baby and will be using her again in the future!
Aliyah was so kind and attentive to my cats while i was out of the country for nearly 2 weeks. My cats are both seniors, one with slight medical issues and she made sure to give him extra special care which I appreciated so much. She provided great details and pictures on every visit and followed the care instructions perfectly. She even helped with my isopods/bugs care which she was not obligated to do but she was more than willing to help with. I will definitely use her again in the future and would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter.
katie is the absolute best. she goes above and beyond every time. my cats kicked up a bunch of litter and she vacuumed it all up then even cleaned out my vacuum - she’s an absolute sweetheart and i’m so grateful to have someone like that to watch my babies when i’m out of town!
Jason watched our two cats — one elderly and independent, and one young, shy, and anxious — during our two‑week international trip, and he was amazing. He came twice a day, handled meals, litter boxes, and even supervised their outdoor patio time. He never missed a visit or check-in. He also spent extra time on the visits if he could, and helped us with mail/packages that arrived while we were gone. Really above and beyond. He sent photos and detailed notes every visit, which made us feel totally at ease while we were away. The best part was how he bonded with our extra‑shy cat. She usually hides from everyone, but Jason spent extra time with her each visit, letting her warm up at her own pace. After a few days, they were basically best buddies — she wasn’t hiding anymore and actually came out to greet him. It made us so happy that our babies were happy! We’d book Jason again in a heartbeat.
We love Shelby so much! From the pictures he takes of our cats to the messages he leaves about them on the report card, he always makes sure that we know our cats are being well taken care of (: Shelby always makes sure that the apartment is clean as well!! Thank you so much as always!
Andrea is very patient and accommodating and she took such a great care of my cat when I am away for a whole week! I got home and was welcomed by a very healthy and clingy cat (as expected) and everything was perfect! I will definitely book Andrea again (if she were available) in the future!
Sophia was amazing with helping us take care of our cat for a week. She left detailed reports on her rover card, took plenty of very cute photos, and made sure to follow our instructions precisely each visit. Really helped us be less stressed while we were out of town, and would 100% ask for her services again!
Tina is amazing! She is so great with our three kitties, and we have been so grateful knowing they are in good hands when we travel. We even had a kitty that needed some meds, and she was so great with making sure he took them and stayed on track. Can’t recommend her enough!
Meghan was absolutely wonderful with Livy. Before her scheduled visits, she took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet and carefully learn Livy's routine. She really went above and beyond to make sure she understood Livy's needs and that everything would be as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, Livy decided she wasn't particularly interested in making a new friend—we recently moved and she is out of character. Meghan handled it with so much patience, kindness, and good humor. She even joked that Livy reminded her of Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada, which honestly couldn't have been more accurate and gave us all a good laugh. Regardless of Livy's icy demeanor Meghan knows that she has modeled for brands so she made us a photo of Livy on a magazine cover!!! It was included with the most beautiful thank you note; please do not thank me; THANK YOU for everything that you did! Throughout the entire experience, Meghan was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared about providing the best possible care. Even if your pet is a little aloof or has a big personality like ours, you can trust that Meghan will treat them with patience and compassion. We're so grateful for everything she did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her! I am not sure how 'Miranda Priestly' feels but I sure hope that Meghan will return!!!
Jennifer gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of state for my cat! She gave awesome updates in rover, spent time trying to get to know my very shy kitty, and left my apartment very clean. Great communication and super sweet person. Couldn’t recommend more
