Nicole always does such a wonderful job caring for our dog. I especially like her comments to us on Rover that truly shows she understands the personality of our stubborn, quirky yet lovable dog. It makes me feel secure knowing Nicole is looking after her while we travel.

We highly recommend Xin’s cat care service. She did an awesome job playing with our cat and making sure his litter box was clean and cat fed for 5 days while we were away. She also sent a lot of cute pictures of the cat playing and when she fed him. I am planning to use her services again soon.

About: I got my first dog when I was seven and he felt like a younger sibling for me! Taking him out to play at nearby fields, teaching him special commands and giving him special toys that were mentally stimulating for him were fun memories that I hold dearly and never correlated to chores. Of course I also learned about important responsibilities Such as making sure the type of food ate was healthy for him and providing the necessary medical attention that veterinarians would have me follow whenever he was sick or when he became older and was experiencing soreness in different areas of his body. Now, I pet sit for my siblings dogs whenever they are away am open to working with all kinds of dogs or cats. I recently graduated from my University and am in the process of interviewing for jobs in my field of study so for now I am available for boarding everyday of the week including weekends! Whenever I pet sit, I usually care for them at my client’s home where I meet with them beforehand so they can get to know me and I can get to know their pet to see if they are comfortable around me. After that, they send me a user guide of what their pet needs to be given throughout the day (their feeding schedule, bathroom schedule etc), fun activities to keep their pet entertained, emergency contact information and their itinerary schedule. I read through the user guide before pet sitting so that I can ask the necessary questions and be aware of my responsibilities by the time I start.

I highly recommend Ivan as someone who will take great care of your pet. He has been doing a great job looking after my dog (1h drop in visits daily). There was a recent minor medical emergency and he handled it extremely well. He is thoughtful and conscientious of the pet’s individual needs. Very grateful to have him!

This was our first time using Rover for pet sitting and we felt like we struck gold in finding Emi! Like many pet owners, it is a big deal to trust our fur babies with someone and we felt Emi took such amazing care of them. We needed someone within the week and Emi responded to our initial request very quickly. Emi was on-time for each visit and shared pictures and sweet updates at each visit. One of our cats is quite social and we could tell from the pictures how much she enjoyed Emi’s attention! Our other cat often hides although she came out and Emi managed to get a picture of her as well! (Some of our family and friends have never seen this cat, so that’s a big accomplishment!). We definitely recommend Emi and will absolutely be booking her again!

About: I’ve taken care of the family dog since he was a puppy! We trained him to sit and to stay, in addition to potty training. I’m currently working full-time, but can care for your pets in the evenings and on weekends. I travel sometimes, but that is always planned ahead of time. I will care for your pets as you would, in your home. I can crate them if needed, take them out for walks and/or potty breaks, and feed them—along with whatever else they need!

Julianna was absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. They usually take awhile to warm up to strangers but Chestnut in particular came out to greet her every day and even Peanut (more shy) came down to see her. Julianna reached out to me before entering the house to make sure alarm was off and did a great job keeping me informed. Will definitely be using her again!

Jenni is AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond to make our new kitten feel comfortable during our first trip away from home since adopting her. She played with her so much during each visit, and made sure to be patient with our older less cuddly cat. She is so caring and we definitely want to work with Jenni again in the future. Thanks Jenni!!

If you want peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands, you won’t regret choosing Jessica. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pup!

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.

Nuha was absolutely wonderful with our cats! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well cared for. I’m usually very cautious about trusting someone with my fur babies, but Nuha was punctual, reliable, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care, and we would be so happy to work with her again.

Ashley was an absolute gem! She was completely reliable; we never had to wonder if she’d show up or follow through. The adorable photos she sent at every visit became the little highlight of our day we’d find ourselves looking forward to. The biggest sign she was doing something right? Our cat normally wolfs down her food out of anxiety or boredom when we travel — with Ashley, she ate totally calmly and looked happy in the photos. That said it all. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind and will 100% be rebooking her. Highly recommend!

One of the best pet sitters I have had. I have an older cat with medical problems. My 2nd cat can be aggressive with strangers especially when giving my older cat meds. She had the least problems of any pet sitter and was great with handling both. She is reliable and competent. Just did an amazing job.
