“Julia is amazing!! She was so patient with my timid boy. Provided great communication and lovely pictures. I will absolutely be booking her going forward. Thank you Julia!!!!”


“Teddy let me know when he arrived, sent photos, and spent time playing with my dogs after their dinner. Dogs were happy and the house was perfect when I got home. Highly recommend!”


“Chris was so amazing! He is very nice and easy to communicate with. He was able to win over our shy cat while we were away. By the end of our trip, our cat seemed to prefer Chris to us! We will definitely work with Chris again.”

About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds my entire life - whether they are puppies or seniors, high or low energy, I will match their vibes and provide the best care they deserve. I don’t have a 9-5, which means your fur babies get 100% of the love and attention. I live in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood with parks minutes away from my doorstep. I provide regular potty breaks, long walks, and all-day companionship. If you would like, I can update you with photos and short videos during the stay so you can see your babies are safe, happy and totally loved. I live a spacious two-bedroom apartment with my sweet 9-year-old Shiba/American Eskimo mix, Katsu. I provide all kinds of services including doggy walks, daycare, drop-in visit and house care. When dogs stay at my place, they will have their own designated areas, separated by puppy gates to ensure a calm, safe, and stress-free environment.

“We’re so lucky to have found Hunter! She took such great care of our cats while we were away twice now—feeding, playing, and making sure everything was just right. She sent regular detailed updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease and let us enjoy our trip knowing our cats were in good hands. It’s clear Hunter genuinely loves animals and treats them with so much kindness and attention. She goes above and beyond observing what needs to be done for them outside of even just playing and feeding them and makes it happen. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“Cassandra cared for my cat Mouse for 10 days and did a fabulous job! From the very first meet and greet she was a great communicator, friendly and genuine. Getting a detailed check in and lots of photos after every drop in visit made me feel super relaxed while away. Cassandra won over Mouse completely and and made sure she had lots of play time and pets. She definitely goes above and beyond in her care. 10/10 would book with Cassandra again!”


“Maryia always takes great care of my two cats when I am away. She is very reliable, I get many photos every day and I know they are in good hands. My cats are happy and get along with her, highly recommend!”


About: I grew up taking care of my dog and a bunch of family friend’s dogs. I have dealt with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have spent a lot of time with dogs that are smaller sizes, but I recently have spent more time with larger size dogs. All are welcome and I love spending time with dogs that either want to play or want to just nap on the couch with me. I’ve dealt with senior dogs that need medication or medication for their skin. I have dealt with dogs that need special dietary plans with supplements. I can help wherever you need me! My schedule right now is pretty flexible with Wednesday being the only day I have to go into the office for work. I am open to working Wednesday night if needed, but I won’t be able to get your place until after 6pm. I like to take care of the house like my own if I am staying with your animals. I like to keep the area tidy and plan to clean up any messes made by myself or your pet. I will make sure to listen to any concerns you have with your pet and will watch them while they are outside. My goal is to have clear communication so you are at ease about me pet sitting!

“Our kitties loved Blaze immediately. They aren't usually so immediately smitten with strangers, so this is worth noting. No problems at all while we were away. Medicines delivered with no difficulty. We would and will hire Blaze again.”


“Casey was beyond fantastic. She coaxed our shy cat Devi out and ensured his sister Sally got lots of pets and belly rubs. Casey's a great communicator and super punctual for her visits. We definitely recommend working with her and will book again!”


“Tessa was really helpful, communicative, and thorough. My little guy warmed up to her right away and she clearly kept him happy and worn out from play! She handled a couple incidental issues during the sit with aplomb. Huge thanks to you Tessa!!”


“Excellent professional, he took care of my cats for two weeks while we were traveling. Very attentive, my cats are very shy and didn't want to play much, but he continued to try and did a great job.”


“Sarahi’s an absolutely wonderful kitty sitter and she did a fantastic job of caring for my two fur babies while I was on a trip. Her detailed updates, excellent communication, and adorable photos of my fur babies she would send each visit definitely eased my mind and allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip much more knowing my cats were well cared for. As a fellow Rover star sitter myself, I definitely recommend Sarah and would absolutely trust her with watching my kitty children again, thanks so much again for everything!”


“Anastasiya did a great job taking care of my kitties. She went above and beyond and vacuumed when the robot vacuum stopped working and watered my plants and cleaned the occasional cat vomit. Thank you so much Anastasiya!”


“Jasmine was great with Nimki. Super easy to communicate with. She took great care of him, even dealt with some poop trailing incidents and cleaned him up each time. She was wonderful!!”
