“Dylan took excellent care of my two cats. He made sure Gizmo got his medication, fed both cats correctly, and kept the litter box clean. Thank you for the adorable photos of Luna and Gizmo during each visit. They are looking forward to seeing you next time :)”
3. Raya M.
“Raya did a great job with active 3 kittens and 1 sensitive little dog. One of the cats was our son’s cat and not always in the mix. She dealt well with some unexpected events and developed a relationship with all very quickly. She dropped be each mid-day for a week and provided critical care. We are glad to have found someone to help and feel more free to plan short or longer trips in the future.”
4. Trask & Emiko B.
“So thankful to have had such a great first pet rover experience with Trask and Emiko! They were great and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. They are detailed and genuinely want to make sure that your pet is well looked after :) I could really tell that my cat Teddy was happy to see them every time from all of the cute pictures and videos. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking to have a worry free experience!”

6. Frank D.
“Frank makes sure to look after his own dog and makes sure to entertain any other dog he encounters. Frank is aware all the time of what is happening around the pups, including vigilance around what they are sniffing and trying to eat stuff off the ground. Frank is friendly, and shows his care for every pup he comes into contact with.”
7. Stephanie N.
“Highly recommend! Had a hectic week and needed help taking care of my husky and two cats. Stephanie was incredibly helpful, patient, and punctual. Litter boxes were spotless, bowls were full, and dog was walked daily. Honestly concerned the pets prefer her now. Thank you Stephanie!”
8. Amani H.
“Amani did an amazing job, she was incredibly prossesional and responsive. She was caring with my cats and they loved her. I also really appreciate her flexibility when picking up dates and making changes due to unforseen situations.”
9. Sarah N.
“We booked Sarah for the first time and couldn’t be happier! We can tell our two dogs (senior 50 lb mixed breed and younger 60 lb husky) enjoyed their time with Sarah. We came back to calm and happy dogs, and a clean home. She had no issue walking both dogs at the same time and addressing their individual care needs. She made sure they had walks, cuddles, and a variety of play. We really appreciated Sarah’s clear communication and regular updates. She is punctual, friendly, and reliable, and we’d love to have her watch our dogs again. The dogs even seem to be wondering where their new friend Sarah is!”
10. Quynh N.
“My cat Bailey was very happy to have Quynh around! She is very responsible and thoughtful, also took plenty good pictures of playing with Bailey. Hopefully will have her taking care of Bailey in the future!”
11. Alexandra A.
“My husband and I took a trip to Italy last year in October, we were looking for a good dog sitter for 15 days. Alexandra came to the rescue. We were very pleased to find our doggy Vinny was well taken care of. during our trip. Our doggie has anxiety issues and Alexandra took care of him with lots of love and patience. We were so pleased with her services that we employed her again this year when we went to Cabo over the summer. I highly recommend her for doggie sitter. I have several dog sitters in the past but Alexandra by far exceeded our expectations and has been the best dog sitter we had. If you looking for a caring, responsible, and experienced dog sitter, Alexandra is your person. I even recommend her to my other friend whom was looking for a cat sitter and my friend was also very pleased with her services and felt her cat was well taken care of. — A very happy customer— Angelica”
12. Tango F.
“Some reason, cats or dogs love Tango so much, just because they know he gives his caring energy to them. Not only he loves them, he is very responsible to give food and clean their toilet. I recommend him for pet parents.”
13. Haddie K.
“I have a mean chihuahua named Steph Curry. He bites. He will pretend like he wants pets, and will still bite people when they bend down to pet him. Basically he's the worst. Haddie watched him for a week. When I picked him up he was snuggled up to her like they were the best of friends. I was very satisfied.”
14. Diego R.
“Diego is amazing! My dog immediately was excited to meet him. Diego is punctual, detailed, and reliable, sending me lots of updates.”
15. Drianna C.
“Drianna took care of my Doberman Ares and knew exactly what to do. She has had dobeys before so knew about all his quirks and was great with following his special care instructions. He loves to play and she made sure he was happy. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
16. Alexandra A.

Whether it’s managing complex projects or handling day-to-day responsibilities, she approaches each with meticulous attention to detail and a high degree of reliability. Her organizational skills and punctuality are second to none, making her someone you can always count on. Her passion for animals is truly inspiring.

About: I’ve had pets in my life from the moment I was born. Through my childhood, I was given the opportunity to grow up with cats, dogs, puppies, guinea pigs, parakeets, fish, frogs and hermit crabs as well as care for many more. As a teenager, I was employed as a dog washer at a grooming business and stayed there until college. In my most recent years, I have primarily served as a sitter for my parents, wherein I gained the experience of administering insulin to two of their dogs for many years. I currently have two cats of my own, Kitten (aka Jill, Chicken, Chickie) and Mowgli (aka MoMo, Bug, Buggy). They are 11 and 8 and have lived with me their entire lives. As a friend of all animals, I’ve got plenty of love to go around and I’d be elated to share it with your fur babies! I’m seeking to serve as a care giver part-time, but will be glad to discuss altering my schedule to serve your needs. I’m most flexible Mondays, Fridays and weekends, but can make exceptions for during the week as well. My current availability for Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays is only open for evenings and nights. I am an expert litter box cleaner and will ensure your kitty’s throne is spotless. Additionally, I will always double-check that everyone is safely where they should be before leaving your residence. If walks are desired, rest assured that I am a strong individual who will be your pup’s personal bodyguard!
