“Lauren was an absolute dream: punctual, friendly, professional, communicative, and, most importantly, kind, compassionate, and responsible in her in-home care of our two doggies. She sent regular texts, photos, and even videos updating us on the progress of her stay. We would not hesitate to book her again, and encourage anyone to do the same! 5 stars”
“Yoo Jee is the best! She took excellent care of our pets and home! One of our bathrooms flooded unfortunately while we were gone and she took care of everything. We will definitely hire her again.”
“Prerana and Aubrey were amazing! They were super proactive from the start of booking between their regular communication and an “intake” form to better understand our dog and her needs. While we were traveling they sent us regular, detailed updates and plenty of pictures of our girl. It was great to see and read about our sweet pup being loved and taken care of us while we were away.”
“Kyle is the best dog sitter we ever could have asked for - he cares deeply and treats all dogs with love and respect. He is extremely communicative. We cannot recommend him enough.”
“Tom was exceptional in every way. So thoughtful in every way. Not to mention an amazing photographer! Thank you again for taking extra special care of Bella. Forever grateful. See you next time!🙏🏼♥️”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of affection. I always focus on keeping dogs safe, happy, and relaxed while their owners are away, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m fully available on weekends from Friday evenings to Monday mornings and can provide consistent care, regular walks, feeding, and supervision. Great for dogs who need extra attention or routine. I’ll customize my schedule perfectly to fit your needs 🐾 I aim to create a safe, clean, and loving environment where dogs feel at home. I keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I never leave dogs unattended in unsafe situations. I treat every dog with patience and respect, just like I would my own.
“Jaclyn was amazing with our fur babies. This was our 1st time using someone other than immediate family when caring for our fur babies while out of town. Her communication made me feel at ease during this process. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Cece is great. She took great care of our dog (who loves her!), she's totally reliable, responsive and proactive, nice person... we're very happy to have found her and will definitely have her dog sit next time we go out of town.”
“Selah did a great job taking care of our Joey! She was communicative and sent daily photos. Joey always looked comfortable in the photos she sent which was reassuring. I would recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve cared for my family’s and friends’ cats, so I’m well-versed in their needs—whether it’s understanding when they’re unwell, managing their urinary issues, or sticking to specific diets. I know how to support them through stress, provide the attention they crave, and I’ve even cared for a hospitalized cat post-surgery. I bring that same devoted care to your cat! I work full-time as a remote application engineer, which gives me flexibility. If your cat needs extra care or even overnight attention, I’m fully open to that. I can easily bring my laptop and internet with me and work right from your home, ensuring your cat’s comfort without any schedule conflicts. Whether in your home or mine, I adapt. If the cat is friendly with others, I can host them alongside my two gentle Persian cats, letting them bond in a stress-free way. If they prefer their own space, I’ll care for them at your home. I always let them get comfortable at their own pace, handle litter, food routines, snacks, play, and if needed, I’m happy to have them sleep nearby.
About: I’ve watched and taken care of dogs and cats since I was very little. From family to neighbors to friends, I’m the one they called! I’m not the type of person to just ignore your pet for money. I really love creating a welcoming relationship and allowing them to be comfortable at all costs, and of course have so much fun while their parents are gone. I know exactly what it takes to give them the love they deserve and need. Think of me as the cool cousin or uncle lol. Play dates, treats, walks, snuggles; all of the above! I’m your guy. Let alone, I’m extremely respectful and conscious about leaving the space cleaner than when I arrived, and following ALL of the rules set in place for my job. I prioritize professionalism and leaving my boss nothing short of happy as leaving their children can be stressful. Whether that’s constant check ins, pictures, or recaps, I can meet any and all expectations happily! :) Right now I am currently unemployed and giving my all to music. That said, I have built a mobile studio and really just work on records all day! That said, I am still attentive, at home, and will always invite my doggy or any other’s to come catch a vibe and listen! I have a fenced backyard and the sweetest golden doodle of all time to keep your pet additional loving company. Play time to movie nights, I do it all with my best friend and we aren’t stingy about adding company!
“Erika was truly amazing and such a blessing for my last minute family emergency. She put me at ease right away with her friendly and supportive attitude and quick responses. I was so happy her daughter was able to stay as well because I could tell from the multiple photos each day that Nala was having a blast. She looked so happy the whole time, which set me at such ease while away. When I came home, everything was so clean and I could tell Erika really took good care of Nala and my apt. Thank you again, Erika!! Hoping you can always take care of Nala for future travels :)”
“Elena did an awesome job with our dog, and she was incredibly communicative and helpful throughout the stay. She sent great pictures, let us know when anything needed our attention, and was always willing to help if we needed it. Would absolutely book her again!”
“Leah was fantastic! Our regular sitter was away and we always fear leaving our precious dogs and cat with someone we’ve never worked with before. But Leah put us at ease with her kindness toward our animals and professionalism. We would love to have her sit again. She sent photos and kept us posted and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Her care with our fur babies meant the world to us.”
“luba was very loving to the girls and was constantly sending pictures and updates. she did a great job at making sure they had exercise and walking them every day! i’m very grateful for the love she showed them while i was out of town.”

“Alyssa was such a kind, caring, compassionate sitter for our dog, Parson. She spent so much dedicated 1:1 time with him, sent photos and updates, was responsive to our texts and overall was a very trustworthy and lovely human to have in our home while we were away. We can't recommend her enough and would look forward to welcoming her back again soon!”
About: I have experience taking care of dogs with all kinds of personalities energetic , zoomy, clingy, dramatic, sleepy. plus I fully support snack breaks and emotional support belly rubs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already live an active lifestyle and enjoy being outdoors. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I follow the owner’s routine closely for feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication (if needed), and playtime so pets stay on their normal schedule. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and updates/photos for their owners
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, I provide dependable, compassionate, and attentive dog sitting that pet owners can truly trust. My approach combines safety, structure, and genuine affection—ensuring every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their owner is away. I have extensive experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication administration, puppy care, senior dog support, and managing multiple dogs at once. My goal is always the same: to create a calm and loving environment where every dog feels safe. Because your dog deserves more than just a sitter, they deserve a trusted companion! Since I work part-time and as a self employed, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets I look after. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, giving me the ability to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m not tied to a full-time schedule or any company, I’m often available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, making it easy to adapt to each pet’s normal routine. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is a natural and rewarding part of my everyday life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets receive consistent feeding, fresh water, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the visit. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect and keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their beloved pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

Prerana & Aubrey were absolutely amazing. They stayed with our dog for 9 days and always kept us up to date with pictures and how he has been throughout the day. The house was even clean and well kept when we got home. We will absolutely be booking with them again!
Leah was fantastic! Our regular sitter was away and we always fear leaving our precious dogs and cat with someone we’ve never worked with before. But Leah put us at ease with her kindness toward our animals and professionalism. We would love to have her sit again. She sent photos and kept us posted and we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Her care with our fur babies meant the world to us.
“Shadow absolutely adores Jade, and so do we! She is truly AWESOME. She’s incredibly flexible, which has been such a huge help, and I always know Shadow is in the best hands. She’s super attentive, caring, and clearly treats him like one of her own. One of my favorite things is all the amazing photo updates she sends somehow she always captures the cutest, best pictures! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Shadow is happy, loved, and having fun while we’re away. I can’t recommend her enough!
Lauren is fantastic! She responded so quickly to a last minute request we had, came by the next day to visit the pets for a meet and greet, and then stayed with them the next night while we were out. She is very friendly, punctual, intuitive and easygoing. Our dog was very comfortable with her to say the least, and our cat who is normally quite shy even came out of hiding while she was there. We are grateful Lauren could come by and are looking forward to hopefully having her back soon!
Carlos took wonderful care of our 8 year old dog and our new puppy on very short notice, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. From the start, he was incredibly thoughtful, asking detailed follow up questions to really understand each dog’s specific routines, preferences, and needs. It was clear he genuinely cared about providing the best possible care. He stayed in our home during the booking and was very respectful of the space, leaving everything clean and well cared for. What stood out most was his availability and attentiveness, especially with such a young puppy who requires constant supervision and structure. Knowing our dogs were getting so much time, attention, and care in their own home gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Carlos again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.
Cassie took great care of our kitties during our travels. She sent daily updates with many photos and videos. One of our cats gets stressed with new people when we travel, but he warmed up to Cassie within a day! She took care of the plants and the house as well. We would be happy to have her watch our kitties again.
Andrea continues to be a reliable, consistent, communicative, awesome dog sitter. She takes lots of pictures, lets us know what’s going on, and we never worry when our dogs are with her. She’s smart and intuitive. One of our dogs is getting older and Andrea is able to adjust walks and modify exercise based on how our dog is feeling. She can give medicine and easily understands and follows our ever changing meal plans for our dogs based on their activity levels. She’s awesome. I was really nervous when we started using Rover but I’m so glad we found her on this app. She is our go-to dog sitter and we trust her with our beloved dogs more than we trust our friends and family!
Sarah did a great job! Our dogs are kind of a particular and fussy situation and it was handled wonderfully. We were on a cruise for two weeks and had very limited cell access; nonetheless, we felt comfortable leaving our home and our kiddos in Sarah’s hands. Flexible with being in our space with us there if needed, like before we left on the first day. Would definitely rebook and recommend!
Troy was honestly amazing and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. He was super communicative the entire time and kept me updated with lots of pics of my baby, which I loved. You can tell he really cares — he treated her like his own, gave her lots of cuddles, and made sure she was taken care of in every way. He also watered my plants, which I did not expect but really appreciated. There was a moment where she had a little accident, and he handled it so calmly and cleaned everything up right away without making it a big deal at all. He kept me in the loop, which I appreciated. He followed all of my instructions perfectly and was always available when I needed him. Just overall super reliable and easy to work with. I’d definitely book him again and would recommend him to anyone ❤️
We are very grateful that Bianca was able to sit for our cat who can take some time to warm up to people. She was patient and attentive and communicative and timely - providing regular updates and photos. We will definitely be asking Bianca for help the next time we travel!
