“Jenna is a superstar! She has been caring for our dog who absolutely adores her. Jenna is loving and sweet, she plays with our dog, and she sends us terrific pictures. By the way, I think she can start a pet photography business, because each photo is amazing. I completely trust Jenna with our fur baby, and we have 100% peace of mind that she is dropping in and giving dog love, fresh air, a bio break, and exercise. We feel so fortunate to work with Jenna!”
“Jenni was such an angel and so helpful with our cats. She accommodated our change of schedule so well and we felt so relieved to have her watching over our babies while we were out. Will be asking her to help out whenever we can. ❤️❤️”
“We had a great experience with Nezuko’s sitter and highly recommend them! They were reliable, attentive, and very caring throughout the visit. Nezuko was well taken care of, happy, and comfortable, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, and the updates and photos were really appreciated. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they look after.”
“Jenny is amazing! Every interaction with her is thoughtful and with so much attention to detail. Thank you so much for taking great care of our dog, from giving her all the cuddles to sending us excellent communication updates and photos.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
“This is our second time booking Cathy to look after our two senior cats. The fact that our very shy boy came out to greet her on the pre-trip visit was proof that we made the right choice. Cathy administered twice daily medications, navigated litter robot issues with ease, and allowed our two boys to remain in their home…which I know is comforting to them. I am grateful for Cathy for providing TLC to our sweet boys and allowing us to relax during our time away from home.”
“Ashley took care of my cat while we were away for a couple of weeks. She is great! Yayo really enjoyed her company, and she took care of all his needs. Definitely recommend booking with Ashley!”
About: I’ve been taking care of neighborhood and family pets since I was a teenager. I’m very flexible and love to work with you to ensure you get the best care for your animals. I work as a substitute teacher and have a very flexible schedule. With enough notice, I can schedule half days or days off in the week to ensure your pet get’s more of my time. I can also work walks into my schedule before and after the school day and am fully available on weekends. I have roommates, so boarding animals might not be an option. I can always ask, though. I am comfortable staying in the pet’s home if it makes them more comfortable.
“Marion was so generous while checking on our cats during the holidays. She gave them extra love and attention above and beyond what we expected! We came home to very happy cats that were almost disappointed it was us walking in the door rather than her! Thank you so much, Marion!!”
“Medha was great with both of my cats (kitten and adult)! They were both super picky with eating at their scheduled times and she made sure she did her best to make them both eat and kept in touch with her on how they were doing. I felt very comfortable while away knowing they were taken care of and being played with. Would highly recommend.”
“Jennifer was great! Sent lots of great pics of our dog and he was happy and healthy when we returned home from our weekend trip. Would love for her to help us out in the future :)”
“Krystian is always great with our pet’s! They love the care and attention they receive when he comes to check in on them. I always get lots of pictures from the visits. They are always super happy which makes me happy.”
About: I’ve pet-sat for both dogs and cats over the last four years. I have been the primary cat-sitter for a nervous, diabetic cat for four years. I recently finished high school and as a result have a lot of free time to fill with caring for animals! I am happy to make time to care for your pet in the morning, afternoon, or evening throughout the week. I will first take care of your pet’s needs by providing food and water, walking, or cleaning the litter box. Then I will pet and play with your pet, or sit quietly on the floor until they are comfortable enough to come meet me.
About: I’ve owned 4 dogs and was raised with cats and dogs growing up. I love animals, their sweet nature and feel they are truly a woman’s best friend I currently work from home full time and I have a 2 dogs ( 3 yr old Bernedoodle named Hachi and 1 yrd German Spitz named Prince). Hachi is a social butterly while Prince is a little shy, but will come out of his shell once he knows youre legit. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and I take my dogs out every 4 hours and play with him in between calls and meetings
“David is a very thoughtful and knowledgeable professional. He has been such a great addition to our family as we embarked on our dog journey and I am very thankful for his help.”
About: I have been caring for all kinds of pets growing up and loved it ever since. I have experience caring for blind elderly cats, old dogs who need extra love, precious leopard geckos and everything in between. I care for any pet as if it was one my own 3 cats :). My schedule is very open because I am currently in between jobs, but I'll always make time for pet care if needed. Odd times or schedules are always welcome. I care for our cats in our house by making sure they're comfortable and have lots of enrichment to keep them occupied and entertained. Keeping things tidy so no kitty gets into something they're not supposed to get into is a habit I take everywhere.
“Cecilia was great ! very responsive and committed, she genuinely cared about taking good care of our cat, and my shy cat warmed up to her. Would definitely recommend and book her services again when needed.”
About: Hi, I have taken care of many dogs age ranging from a few months to 14 years old and find them all equally adorable. While I have been told that I speak dog - by some folks -I am personally- not so sure about that. But I like to think that most dogs love my tone when I talk with them . I have a lot of experience with both senior dogs and young energetic ones thanks to my own pets, my family's pets, and my volunteer experience with the local humane society. Happy to give you more information on those if you are interested. I don't have a car but have a bike and stay very close to the red line. Looking forward to taking care of your pets. I work from home and can organize my schedule to fit your pet walking needs. I love getting out in the winter and happy to get your dog the exercise it needs. I have experience with senior dogs and reactive pets and can cater to their needs. I will make sure that they feel safe and protected.
About: I’ve been providing loving reliable pet care for over 12 years. I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to sit, feed, boarding and walk. Passionate about giving pets the love and care they deserve. Let me treat your furry family member like one of my own. Whether it’s for a walk around the block or full weekend of care. I can’t wait to meet your pup! Im currently working part time, so I’ll have time plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for sitting on weekends and weekdays after 6 pm. I provided care in your home, secure yard or neighborhood as that where your pet is most familiar and comfortable. Pet sitting drop in visits are recommended 2 - 4 times per day depending on on your pet.
“Ariana was fantastic! It was my first time using Rover and she explained the whole process to me so I knew what to expect with drop ins. She took such great care of Fee and sent the best pictures in her report. Ariana always responded very quickly and showed Fee lots of love while I was gone! Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

Ashley was great with my cat and dog! My dog is very nervous and she took her time letting Tot warm up to her. Ashley accommodated a short notice booking which was amazing, and she was prompt, kept me updated and checked over everything I asked her to. I would highly recommend her!
Ana took great care of our 13 year old Sheltie and our cat. It was a pleasure to meet with her and from the moment they met Ana, our pets took a liking to her and felt comfortable. She kept us up to date with daily messages and was very responsive and trustworthy. We highly recommend Ana and will certainly like to use her petcare services again in the near future.
Danny was a God-send! He was super responsive, accommodating, conscientious, and responsible. He was also wonderful with our dog, Mojito, who looks out the door every afternoon as if waiting for Danny. 😃 I can't recommend Danny enough and will definitely be using him again.
John was great! Our pup loved him instantly and it was obvious from the photos we received that he enjoyed their walks. Our Bodhi can be an anxious guy and so we appreciated the reassuring updates. Definitely recommend John and hope he’s available the next time we need a sitter!
Jessica was fabulous. She gave regular updates and pictures on her visits. We were nervous as this was our first experience with a sitter. She asked all the right questions to put us at ease. She was very flexible as our two dogs have very different needs. It was evident from the beginning that she adores dogs. Communication was great. Would not hesitate to have Jessica sit again for us.
