“Yue Yue (Sammy) cared for my dog Freckles on Saturday while we were out of town. Freckles has separation anxiety, so I was initially very nervous about leaving him with a new sitter for the entire day. Everything however went smoothly. Yue Yue arrived on time, took great care of Freckles, and provided me with frequent updates. I would work with Yue Yue again.”

“Tami had a GREAT connection with Lucy. She quickly figured out Lucy's personality, her likes/dislikes, favorite activities (going to the beach) and also the ins and outs of my apartment and building. Tami did a wonderful job of sending me pictures at least twice a day so that I could feel at peace that my girl was happy and being taken good care of.”

“Lisa has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my pup, Maverick! She always goes above and beyond—taking him on plenty of walks and little adventures, making sure he gets tons of playtime and cuddle time, and feeding him right on schedule. I always come home to a happy, tired, and well-loved dog, which gives me so much peace of mind! She’s also incredibly respectful of my home when she’s here, which I really appreciate. Maverick adores her, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about him. I’m so grateful to have found her—couldn’t recommend Lisa more!”

“Raeghan did a fantastic job pet sitting Nash! She kept us updated with great photos and made sure Nash got plenty of exercise by taking him to parks to burn off his energy. Even when the electricity went out for a while, Raeghan was a total trooper—finding creative ways to keep Nash (and herself!) entertained and active. I was completely at ease knowing Nash was in such capable hands.”

I think Memo was a bit more nervous than usual because we had just been out of town the week before, but Viv took the time to gain Memo's trust with treats and playtime. Our place was also super clean when we got back from our week away, it was so welcome to come back to a clean home. Thank you so much Viv!”

She was patient with my dog being wary of a new person at first, and by the end of the stay it was clear she warned my dog’s trust, which is what matters most to me! Anita also kept our place in good shape.”

We came back to a very clean home including laundered bed linens and a happy and relaxed dog. We couldn’t ask for more and we would work with Nicole again in a heartbeat! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicole to anyone considering engaging her for a sit. Thank you so much Nicole. A+++++”

About: Hello, my name is Michelle, and I have 3 years experience pet sitting and dog walking for small, medium, and medium-large sized dogs. I have always loved animals, and over the years I have been trusted by many friends and family to care for their pets while they are out of town. I am very active, so I am happy to take dogs on longer walks, or play sessions depending on their energy level. For especially active breeds I also offer runs at a slightly higher rate. I understand that every pet is different. Some dogs want to explore and sniff everything, and others just want a calm walk or a little extra attention at home. Either way, I will make sure your animal is well cared for. As an 11-year vegan, I always treat animals with the kindness and compassion they deserve. I take pet care seriously and I always aim to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your pets and your home. I am also happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is in good hands. I would love the chance to meet you and your furry companion, and I look forward to helping however I can! I just returned to the states after 3 months of travel. Looking to make extra income while still being able to enjoy the outdoors. Availability is completely open! I AM AVAILABLE VALENTINE’S DAY WEEKEND! My number one priority is pet safety. I also love engaging with dogs and keeping them active through play, walks or jogs (and extra treats) 🤭

We felt comfortable the entire time, honestly the most relaxed we’ve ever been leaving our cats. This was hands down the best catsitting experience we’ve had. Highly recommend! We will be booking her for future sits.”

“Lilit responded to my last minute request for someone to house sit with my doggie and boy am I glad she did! She met with me the day after I first messaged her and she jived very well with my doggie right off the bat. Throughout my trip she kept me updated with daily pictures as well as a schedule breakdown of what care she was providing. I copied and pasted one of these breakdowns below. But one of the best parts what that when I got back to my clean and wonderful home I was met with both a happy puppy and a beautiful drawing of my happy puppy courtesy of Lilit. What we've for today so far : July 3 • 9:00 - 9:10 ( playing catch ) • 9:15 - 9:35 ( walk around the area ) • 10:00 - 11:30 ( playing with his toys ) • 1:00 - 1:30 ( walking around the area ) • 2:15 - 2:30 ( playing catch ) • 3:00 - 3:20 ( playing with his toys ) • 4:00 - 4:30 ( walking around the area ) • 5:10 - 5:30 ( playing wity his toys ) • 6:00 - 6:15 ( playing catch ) • 6:40 - 7:00 ( playing with toys ) Soon we'll go for a walk around 30 min”

“Elle was INCREDIBLE! Our other dog-sitter canceled days before we had a two-week international vacation scheduled so we scrambled to find an alternate and even considered canceling... But all of our anxieties vanished as soon as we found Elle. She's warm, reliable, communicative and magic with dogs. Our dog Cosmo is a neurotic akita/husky/chow/samoyed mix (so pretty much every obstinate breed) but not only did Elle handle him deftly, but went above and beyond to make him feel comfy, safe and loved. She sent us TONS of pictures and videos, followed his schedule to a T, gave him more walks and attention than my husband and I put together, and even trained him! We came back to a happy, well groomed and better behaved little fella. You can't possibly find a better dog-sitter than Elle, we were SO lucky to find her and I can't sing her praises loudly enough. Will be eager to hire her again for anything else!”

I know my dog had a great time and got lots of cuddles because he wasn’t as excited to see us get home as he is when he is anxious when we’re gone. Would definitely book again!”

Ida is great. She read the instructions in detail before the pre-meet and followed every line exactly to care for both our car and home. She sent a lot of updates and photos so that we were not worried once during our travel. She is super clean and left the house exactly like before. Most importantly, she loved and treated our cat so well that our cat did not miss us. Ida is 11/10

Celine is the best Rover I have ever used. Not only just she communicate extremely well, but she sends unprompted photos and updates. I have used Rover's in the past and no one has ever left my apartment as clean as Celine did. If you have the great opportunity to have Celine watch your pup, please do. I could not thank her enough.

I almost don’t want to leave a review because I want to gatekeep how great of a dog sitter Josh was 😅 He was so understanding with my nervous older dog and made my dogs feel very comfortable with him. Both my dogs immediately took to Josh; you can tell he is exceptional with animals. He sent so many cute and detailed updates with pictures, and we felt very at peace knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were on vacation. I also have very high standards for cleanliness, and Josh truly left our house spotless for our return. Can’t wait to book him again!!

Laura is wonderful! She has sat for our senior dog in the past, and both times now my fiancĂŠe and I have been able to truly relax while we were away because of how good she is. She handled all his little quirks and medications, sent us consistent updates and photos, and left our house as clean as it was when we departed. We have her booked again for our honeymoon and are looking forward to being able to fully enjoy it because we know our sweet boy is in great hands.
