“As always, very dependable and my girls love her! Kaia and Pepper were well taken care of and I looked forward to reading the check in notes and seeing their pictures. I can appreciate the thoughtfulness and care Elaine provides. I will continue to use Elaine whenever she is available. 😊”


“Devon was amazingly kind and caring to our senior dog while we were away! We booked sort of last minute and were so grateful for Devon’s flexibility and willingness to come through for us on such short notice. Thank you, Dev! We will definitely rebook with you if you’re available next time we’re out of town!”


“Hailey took such excellent care of our dog Buddy. I would absolutely 💯 recommend her. She is natural with pets! Knowing she took such great care of Buddy, made our vacation so much more relaxing, enjoyable and worry-free. We are looking forward to booking with Hailey again soon.”


“With my travel schedule for work it is hard to plan ahead and Sarah has been so accommodating with my schedule and taking on watching Flossy it gives me a sense of security knowing she is there for me. She is a great communicator and she is someone that really loves her job. I couldn’t be more satisfied as a customer with Rover and Sarah is the sole reason for that.”


“Vilma was an excellent to my cat and sent daily updates. Could not be happier with her care of my cat and she’s responded quickly to any questions. Will definitely book again!”


“Berenice had great communication and was able to take a last minute l booking. She was also able to adjust the time she came. We appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness!”



“Michelle is a saint! Every time we leave our biggest girl gets sick and Michelle is a trooper and makes sure she is taken care of and cleans up the messes. 🤢 Both our girls love her and would always check her availability first when in need.”


“Stephanie was fantastic with our fur babies! She had great communication and pictures. She not only fed the cats but played with ‘em as well. She even had to jump in and give one of our cats some medicine for a few days. Only our old man cat seemed crabby we were gone for 10 days, but that was expected. We will definitely use her again.”


“Lisa was spectacular. We have already booked her again and we haven't been home for twelve hours. Punctual, professional, she clearly made our reticent pet comfortable and somehow got him out of his shell. I would recommend her unequivocally and without reservation. Awesome!”


“Angela was so great with our kitten while we were gone! Her communication was excellent and she spent extra time with our pet—I knew he wasn’t lonely, which was so reassuring. I would 100% trust Angela in the future and use her as a sitter again!”


About: I’ve had at least 1 pet my entire life, so I’m no stranger to caring for pets in my home. Beginning in middle school and until now, I’ve been entrusted by family, friends, and coworkers to take care of their pets while they’re away. I have experience with house visits, walking or dog park trips, and overnight care. While I don’t have direct experience with pets who require medical attention, I’d be happy to learn with you. I do have experience with senior pet care. Overall, I guarantee I’ll take care of your pet like my own! I recently graduated from PA school and am job searching currently, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m available for daytime care or overnight care daily. When looking after your pet, I will always take care of them like my own. I’m happy to play with them in the yard, take them on walks or to the park, lounge with them on the couch on a rainy day, or crate them if needed. I can stick to strict meal or medication times and will ensure they have potty breaks with appropriate clean up.

“My cats, particularly Simba was very happy with Alexy and Dylan. I appreciate all the pictures they sent, and how they communicated. We had a little communication trouble at the beginning but it was all solved right away. Leaving instructions I believe helped as they have several clients. They were always on time and did what I asked for. The box, the dishes, and everything was perfect when we arrived. We would book Alexy and Dylan again.”


“Vanessa was amazing! She followed all the instructions to perfection. She was super sweet caring and loving with our pups, you can clearly see they like her. She was super responsable and always arrived on time! Definitely will book again! 100% recommended!”


“Courtney was absolutely wonderful! She watched my cat Blue while I was gone and sent loads of adorable pictures and videos daily and kept me updated on how Blue was doing. She took the extra time to play with him and brush him, and handled giving him his ear drops and medication fantastically!! I definitely recommend Courtney and look forward to continuing to work with her for all my pet sitting needs :)”


About: I’ve raised and trained pit bulls from puppies to 8 years old, worked with skill training for German Shepards, and helped my sister foster a Dachshund that had a senior owner who couldn’t walk him for over 2 years. I’m addition, I’ve watched many friends pets in their home for multiple nights. I’m a world traveler and digital nomad. I work part time and am able to spend an ample amount of time with your pet! It is like pet therapy to me and I enjoy bringing pets with me everywhere I go or coming to them and spending time in their safe space. After just recently taking care of my friends dog for Thanksgiving in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a week, I decided that I wanted more pets in my life! I was able to take Ayani (3 year old male dog-not aware of breed) for his morning and evening walks, in addition to many dog park visits. I am an avid hiker and love to bring dogs along with me, both on and off the leash depending on the owners guidelines.

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently share my home with three cats and one dog - it's a full house! I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, including my own 13-year-old who needs daily medication. I also grew up with huskies, so I'm no stranger to high-energy breeds and the active care they require. On the flip side, I'm just comfortable with laid-back pus - my pug keeps things goofy and fun. Whether it's administering meds, going for long walks, or just providing companionship, I bring patience, energy, and love to every pet I care for. I work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to offer morning and afternoon drop-ins and walks during the week. On weekends, I'm fully available for all listed services and can accommodate a wider range of times. My home has a partially fenced yard and system of tall gates inside to safely separate cats and dogs when needed, so every pet can feel secure and relaxed. I'm happy to kennel your pup if that's part of their routine or needed for comfort. Your pet's safety and peace of mind are always my top priority.

“Rucha was awesome and took such great care of my sweet 4 month old kitten. I didn’t have to worry about her not giving all the attention to my little one. For sure will be booking again!!”
