“IULIIA is a great dog watcher! We have hired her on 3 different occasions and are very happy with her. I highly recommend her! We will use her again for sure. Thank you!”
“Neha did such an amazing job and took such good care of our little puppy while we were at work! She stuck to his schedule and made sure he didn’t tear up our house! We would definitely use Neha again!”
“Emilie was very thorough and responsive. My apartment was in great shape when I came home, and also when I came home, my cat acted like I had just come back from a trip to the store, which is a sign to me that she did not miss me much at all!”
“Tracy is a dream come true. She took good car of our cat, spoiling her in the manner she is accustomed to. The house was just as we left it, clean and tidy. Grateful to have met Tracy. Highly recommend.”
“Patrick is an EXCELLENT fur baby sitter! He sent us so many great reports and photos while he was taking great care of Chanel and Raven! He was so patient with our nervous Nellie pup and by the time we returned home, they were best of friends. He was on time to start house and pet sitting and just delivered the BEST service overall!”
“Alexis was great with our special needs dog and took extra care to make sure all of our instructions were followed. I appreciated her updates and photos to ensure peace of mind. Our house was immaculate when we returned. Our dog also seemed to love her based on the pics! Highly recommend her.”
“Courtney is great! She made an effort to get to know my dog and took really good care of her, keeping me informed through pictures and texts. When I returned home, my dog didn't want her to leave!”
“Denise did an absolutely wonderful job housesitting and caring for our cat. She kept our house in great condition and she is great with cats and pickles really liked her. We will definitely work with denise again for future trips!”
About: 3 years as kennel assistant, 10+ personal. Experienced with dogs, guinea pigs, seniors, meds, and grooming. Calm, gentle, and reliable —your pets are family here. I work part-time and run a small pet care business, so I have flexible availability for drop-ins and walks—especially on weekdays after 2PM and weekends. Most of my time is spent caring for animals, including my own dogs and guinea pigs. Pet care isn’t just a side job—it’s my calling. Your pets will get patient, loving attention every time I prioritize calm, safe environments for every pet I care for. In client homes, I follow all routines, feeding, and medication instructions with care and precision. I’m experienced with shy pets, seniors, and animals needing extra patience. You’ll receive regular photo updates and detailed check-ins. My goal is to make sure your pets feel secure, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“Brooke was absolutely amazing!! We booked her last minute to house-sit our two dogs, and she was a lifesaver. So attentive, intentional, communicative, and flexible throughout — we felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such great hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Cody is super nice and easy to work with. I didn’t have to worry about my dog at all the entire time I was gone. Kept everything neat in my apt too. Highly recommend!”
“Julia was responsive, easy going, and took great care of our fluffy friend while we were away. She left our house in great shape and our dog with his tail wagging. We highly recommend her and would happily have her pet-sit again in the future!”
“Zoe is kind to pets and their humans and is a great communicator. We're so grateful for her care of our pets (and home) while we were away - all were happy and healthy upon our return. Thank you, Zoe!”
“Megan was so kind and took great care of our dog Henny while we were away for the day. She sent us photo updates throughout, which put us at ease. We’d recommend her 100%!”
“Yessica has taken great care of our dog every time and is so great about sending regular video and photo updates. She's the best sitter we've booked on Rover over many years and always our go-to now. Our dog isn't always great with other dogs and is an anxious little chihuahua mix, so it's great to know he's with someone who understands his needs on walks & at home. She also always leaves the house just as we left it. Highly recommend her!”
About: I knew raising working and herding breeds meant that I needed to educate myself on how to properly train and care for them as high-energy pups. I've attended many in-person and online dog training classes in obedience, puppy training, and behavior fundamentals so that I can give my dogs the care and understanding they need, and I hope to use the same skills on your furry loved ones! Just as all people aren't the same, all dogs aren't either. I'm comfortable with using various walking tools such as harnesses, flat collars, slip collars, martingales, and prong collars. In my care, you can expect various activities for physical and mental stimulation that will surely tucker out your pups before you come back home :) With pups under my care, you can expect a thorough update on how your buddy did with me and, of course, lots of photos** and/or videos! **Clients can often expect a photo portrait of their pup from the walk or drop-in. (Final results depend on whether your pup can sit while holding attention towards me) 📢 OPEN & FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING! Please allow me a 1-hour flexible window before and after your requested service time as my schedule fills up. (Most times it's not an issue and I'll arrive on time) I'll do my due diligence to make your pet feel as comfortable with me as they are with their own family. That means following the same rules and routines as you and following any dietary or medication instructions. I do NOT allow on-leash greetings to ensure your dog is always safe.
“We loved Shelley! She is super kind and comes prepared. My dog is quite shy but she took her time letting him warm up to her. She even arranged to meet my dog and I ahead of time which definitely put me at ease! Definitely would recommend and can’t wait to have her watch our pup again!”
“Lilit was wonderful. She was available at the last minute to housesit our dog, Molly. She easily befriended Molly, and made us all comfortable with her kindness and care. Molly had a great time, and we would highly recommend Lilit.”
“Pawlo had a wonderful time with Tamar. As soon as he met her he fell in love and he was comfortable right away. She communicated and sent pictures of their evening together. She was flexible and on time. I will definitely be reaching out to Tamar the next time I need someone to take care of him. Thank you, Tamar!”
“I highly recommend Casey. This last stay got off to a rough start because my air conditioning broke down the day before I left. I had to scramble to make some changes because neither Casey or my dog (also named Casey) could stay in the house with no AC. Casey went over and beyond, arranging to be here for two different appointments to repair the AC and going to pick up my dog where he was temporarily being boarded. She sent me loads of photos and videos and made me feel very reassured that my dog and the house were well cared for. I will definitely book her, again.”

Viky M.
“I've seen Viky care for animals every single day, and her love for them runs deep. Whether she’s bathing a dog at work or hand-feeding one of our rescued guinea pigs at home, she’s always gentle, patient, and fully present. Animals naturally feel safe with her—she just has that calming energy. I’ve watched her help anxious dogs settle in with ease, and she’s always on top of feeding, routines, and safety. She treats every animal like family, and that makes her a truly exceptional sitter.”
