“We have been so grateful to have Rebecca visiting our pups during the day. She has been great at communicating for scheduling and with updates on the visits. Finding someone who is comfortable working with both a senior dog and a large puppy (especially at the same time) has been great, and knowing that she understands the puppy's phases from her own experience is even better.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since 2015. I am comfortable and love to board, walk, and drop in. I can do small - medium dogs. I am working fully remote and would love to walk, board, or spend time in the day with your dog(s). I love all dogs and treat them as if they were my own. I have a dog friendly apartment building. I provide a loving and caring stay for them. Will take them out for potty breaks, walks, and let them stay in my apartment as if it were their own.

“Bahisha did a great job with our kitty! :) Would definitely rebook her services. She was also very communicative when we had an issue with our water and our landlord needed information and she made sure to bring in all of our mail while we were away.”


“Juli has cat-sat for us twice now and is stellar. Our cat gets stressed when we leave for trips and Juli is incredible with him. She’s super consistent, which makes a huge difference for our cat’s anxiety. She provides thorough updates and ample photos, which is a great comfort. Juli was super flexible with us when we wanted to adjust our cat’s diet mid-trip. And she was willing to extend our booking when we were worried about weather impacting our travel home. Juli’s amazing, can’t recommend highly enough!”


About: I grew up in a house full of pets that included cats, dogs, and bunnies. This prompted me to start my services on Rover, which I've been doing for one year. Within the year, I've had many clients, some new and some recurring, and became a star-sitter! I have experience taking care of both young and senior animals as well as pets with both shy and energetic personalities. I'm great with giving them medicine, play and enrichment, beginner agility training, going on walks, and other skills to make sure your pets feel safe in a new environment. Excited to meet your furry friends! My schedule varies week by week, but I work part-time, so your pets will get lots of attention and care. Let's communicate on what will best fit your needs! My ultimate goal is to make sure to your pets feel comfortable in my care, giving them all of their basic needs and beyond. I will always respect your space (and theirs, of course) and keep things neat and tidy.

“Nicole was so great with my dog and very responsive! We had some issues with my virtual key and she was so willing to figure it out and troubleshoot. Would definitely use her again!”


“Spencer and Nell were wonderful checking in on our 2 cats daily while we were away for 4th of July weekend (4 days). Spencer and Nell were super organized from start to finish, responsible, reliable, and clearly took care in not only feeding and cleaning up after the cats but also playing, petting, and spending time with our cats and making them feel loved. I am usually hesitant to leave the cats for this long but we felt safe knowing Spencer and Nell were keeping the cats happy while we were away, even just with once daily drop ins. They also sent pictures and updates daily. When we got home, our cats were happy to see us and it was clear that they were very well taken care of. We will absolutely reach out to Spencer and Nell for future drop in visits if they are available!”


“Meghan was very attentive and had great communication! Not to mention the cute pictures she sent. She was always very timely & I will for sure be using her again in the future :)”
