“Jenny is so sweet and easy to communicate, my cat loves her and thanks so much for taking care of mocha while we are traveling. My 1st time to use rover and so lucky to have Jenny with us! Everytime Jenny will take tons of pictures and share the details of the stay, even take care of things that I did not think of :)”
“This is my 3rd time booking Criss to drop in on my cats and as usual she’s AMAZING! Can’t recommend her enough to others :) She’s so lovely with both of my cats and it’s evident they love her from the pics she shares with us. She plays with them, gives them treats and food. I always have such a peace of mind with Criss. This time around I also happened to receive some unexpected edible packages and Criss was so generous putting them in my fridge. Criss, you’re amazing!! 💕✨”
“Angelica was so sweet with our boy! She made sure he got some outside time and lots of great cuddles. She also made sure to follow all instructions and administered medicine for our senior dog. Macho loved his visit from Angelica!”

“Shujing took wonderful care of my cat, Mia. She followed all instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the stay. Mia clearly felt comfortable around Shujing, and I could tell they had a great time together. I would definitely work with Shujing again and recommend her to others.”
“We had a last minute need and Juliana was so accommodating. Both our dog and our cat loved her immediately. She was on time, was great at communicating with photos, and took perfect care of both of them. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you, Juliana!”
About: Ive spent my entire young life with animals of all shapes and sizes from horses to birds to many different breeds of dogs and cats. I walked many neighborhood dogs all four years of middle school, worked at Bow Wow Meow for some time in highschool, and Smilin Dogs just a few years back. A few of the things i took care of while there; bathing and nail trims, caring for 20+ dogs at a time with light training, feeding on a schedule and putting dogs down for naps or bedtime. I have two puppies and a three year old dog at home, aside from that i have all the time in the world to care for your furry family members! I can help with basic training for dogs young and old, i believe no dog is past the point of learning a new trick or two. I can also follow any kind of schedule you set as far as feeding, walking, and naps/bedtime.

About: I have been raising a cat for more than 8years. I have been cat sitting for friends and neighbors for the longest time as well. I have hosted doggos from friends and neighbors for 3-5 times. I am pretty flexible on weekends. For weekdays, I need to leave for work early, so the visit is preferably after 3pm. On Monday or Thursday I get home after gym sessions so it will be after 7pm I respect all animal’s own personality. I do not get close at first especially if they showed fear or stress. I check food expiration before feeding. I do not go to areas that I do not need to go. I will come by with full covered clothes in case of accidents. I will treat your baby the same way I cherish mine. My boyfriend might come with me if I am taking care of a dog to help out in case.
“Kim looked after our 6 month old kitten for 5 days. She was extremely communicative and attentive. She made sure to check in every day at around the same time, played with our kitten and sent lots of messages, photos and videos to update us. We could tell from these updates that our kitten was well cared for and very happy when Kim was around. We will be sure to ask Kim again come next time. Thank you, Kim! 🐾”
“Huei is amazing! Excellent communication, reliable and is very sweet. She was very attentive and patient with my puppy and i could tell he loved her and felt very comfortable with her! She sent me lots of cute pics and even videos which reassured me he was in good hands:) Will definitely continue to book with her!”
About: I have been fortunate enough to grow up around dogs. Because of this, I feel that I’ve built up 10 years of experience. But I have been offering professional pet care for 6 years, to friends and family. I’m happy to accommodate to any specialized care instructions! I do have a day job, so I would do check ins throughout the day, mainly in the afternoon. I do offer overnight stays but the same check in system will apply due to my schedule. I provide attentive visits that include feeding, fresh water, walks or cleaning, and plenty of playtime or snuggles depending on your pets personality. I’ll give them gentle care, attention, and companionship so they feel calm and loved.
“Brooke was able to drop in on my dogs in a pinch, and came over beforehand to meet them and get instructions on what to do. She is very nice and was able to get my shy dog outside, staying a little longer to work with her! Pictures were also sent of two happy puppies ?”

Teagan was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly understanding and patient with my older, more timid cat, taking the time to make her feel comfortable. Teagan also provided regular updates and photos from her visits, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciated her care, attention, and thoughtful communication!
This was my second booking with Shujing, and once again she did an excellent job caring for my cat, Mia. She took great care of Mia and kept the house spotless throughout her stay. It’s clear that Mia really likes Shujing and enjoys spending time with her. I feel completely at ease knowing Mia is in such good hands, and I’m very grateful to have Shujing as a cat sitter. Highly recommended!
Chloe took wonderful care of my cats while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about their well-being. I received regular updates and photos. Both cats looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for when I returned home. I would definitely book with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Xilin and Xiang were truly exceptional pet sitters. They took wonderful care of my senior cats and gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. They were attentive, responsible, and very communicative throughout the entire stay, with regular updates that made it clear my cats were in caring hands.
Kim is so good with my cats! My boys are super friendly and playful, and Kim is always good about playing with them and helping get their zoomies out. My cat, Pebble, takes medication and Kim is a real trooper! Pebble can be difficult when it comes time for her meds, but Kim is always very patient and gentle. I highly recommend her!
Huei D was so incredibly amazing taking care of our finicky black 14 year old cat. She made friends so quickly and was always responsive and gave us updates throughout our trip. I honestly think Nyx is going to be disappointed when we come home to not get daily visits from her new friend. Recommend completely!
Patrycja is amazing! This is the second time she has watched Chicken Nugget and he absolutely loves her. She is absolutely incredible with him, is very communicative, and takes great care of not just him but our entire house. She absolutely goes above and beyond! I will definitely be using her in the future.
Bethlyn was very communicative and accommodating! She was mindful of both mine and Sasha’s preferences, and provided detailed updates with lots of pictures everyday, that was really appreciated! Will definitely rebook, it was an entirely stress free trip for me knowing Sasha was taken care of. :)
Julissa is wonderful! She took good care of my cat’s needs while we were away. Our cat is shy that he always hid away when strangers were in the house. But surprisingly he came to greet Julissa when she visited and even stayed close to her the entire time! That was the FIRST TIME we’ve ever seen! So she must have some magic that could make our cat very comfortable. Will rebook in the future!
Angelica is AWESOME!!! She took care of my newly adopted cat twice during a day when I was away all day. It was so great to get the photos and text each visit. My cat Sadie loved playing with her!! Sadie ate and drank water while Angelica was at my house, showing me how comfortable she was with her. Angelica had a huge heart and I feel blessed she took care my sweet Sadie!💛 P.s. Angelica is a 10 star pet sitter and human being !!!
Kendra was a great sitter! We had her take care of our 2 cats for a week. She went above and beyond when our fire detector unexpectedly went off due to low battery. The noise was really bothering our cats, but she quickly stepped in to help. She was very empathetic and caring for them.
Rong was super sweet and really attentive with Stella. Stella usually takes a while to warm up to people, but she seemed very comfortable with Rong right away. Rong also paid attention to the little things around the apartment and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Would definitely book with her again.
