“Katie was WONDERFUL! she was able to accommodate my request on short notice and did an amazing job. She sent lots of updates and I felt great knowing my poodle was in her care. Thank you again Katie!”


About: I am more excited to hang out with your pets than you are for your vacation. Grew up with dogs and cats, and I am currently the go-to sitter among my family and friends! I am freelance editor and part-time substitute teacher with 100% control of my schedule. On subbing days, I’m at school from 8:00-2:30; for my freelance projects, I can work anywhere (including your home, with your pets!) The comfort of your pets is my number one priority, and I am happy to accommodate experiences to disrupt their schedules and environment as little as possible, especially for high-stressed friends.

“Don was very attentive with our senior dog! She has quite a few needs these days and Don was detail-oriented and followed all our instructions carefully. It made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip knowing that our dog was in good hands. He sent lots of updates and photos. We even think our pup was missing her new friend after we returned. :)”


“Elizabeth is amazing! I cannot imagine a better pet sitter. I was gone for 10 days, and the whole time she was communicative and sent lots of pictures. When I got home, my apartment was better than I left it! I could tell both of my pets were comfortable with and well loved by her. Thank you Elizabeth!!!”


“Alexander was amazing! Super communicative all day, sent tons of photos, regular updates. I barely feel like I left because he kept me so informed about how Nova was doing even down to noticing the little things! Highly recommend and I will definitely have him back in the future. Grateful he was randomly able to come with an hours notice when another sitter canceled. Thank you”


“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Jingying! She took amazing care of our two puppies, Raina and Emma, while we were away for 10 days. Raina, our older girl, needs extra attention and daily medication, and Jingying handled her care with such patience, compassion, and attentiveness. It was such a relief knowing she was in good hands. Emma, our younger pup, is full of energy, and Jingying made sure she had plenty of playtime and love too. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we came home, both dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Jingying is responsible, kind, and clearly loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”


“Fantastic Kyra dog/house sitter for our 2 large golden retrievers. She stay at our house for one week and our dogs were so happy to see her again. She is so great getting down on the floor with the dogs and gives them a lot of love. Even lets the one dog sleep with her! She stay in contact with us and sent pictures. After we returned, we got the nicest card from her with pictures of our dogs on it, thanking us for giving her the opportunity to take care of our very precious dogs.”



“Lilah was AMAZING ! It was our first time using Rover for our little guy and we were so nervous but Lilah made it super easy! She sent lots of pictures and put our minds at ease! Definitely will be using her in the future !”

“Jane was absolutely lovely! This was my first time hiring anyone to watch my babies and I felt so confident in Jane to take care of them. From start to finish the process was extremely smooth, especially for my last minute booking. My animals, home, and mind were all taken care of while I went out of state! I appreciate you so much Jane!”


“Joy was great at communicating and following through. I got a chance to see our dogs with with her and you could see how much they loved her! I would 100% recommend booking with Joy and plan on rebooking.”


“We were concerned about leaving our two "senior" dogs in the care of someone we didn't know. Alicia was wonderful with our pups, and sent updates and photos every day we were away. She took great care of them and eased our anxiety very quickly. When we arrived back home after our six-day trip, we found the dogs to be happy and the house was in good order. We are so pleased with how things went, and will definitely call on Alicia again when we need to be away.”


“Chloe was a wonderful dog sitter! I had NEVER left my 3 old dogs before, one of whom is on cardiac medications. She took excellent care of them and did so much more to look after my house. I loved the photos and videos of them that she faithfully sent twice a day. They really allowed me to relax on my trip because I heard how she talked to them and saw how she loved on them. She is a great communicator and very conscientious. When I got home, they were all well fed, medicated, had been well supervised and very well cared for. I will definitely use Chloe again, and now feel comfortable about being gone from the house, knowing that Chloe will provide the care they need.”

Evelyn H.
“Evelyn has been caring for animals her entire life. She’s familiar with most species, since her family has such a variety of pets. She pays close attention to detail, when it comes to care, feeding, and medical instructions. But most importantly she adores animals. She doesn’t do this to earn a living, she does it because she genuinely loves all the creatures.”

Her compassion and dedication shine through in everything she does, and I have complete confidence in her ability to care for pets in any situation. She’s truly one of the best!”
