Machalia is absolutely amazing. Trust me, you want her as your pet sitter! She’s a vet tech, so she understands animals needs/behaviors, can administer medication, and is incredibly reliable. Machalia watched our seizure-prone, 18-year-old cat and I cannot imagine anyone else taking better care of her. She was responsive, communicative, and on top of everything. I cannot recommend her services enough!

Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my boy Bucky while I was away. Jess came by beforehand to meet us. Bucky took to her instantly, and the photos she sent throughout the week showed how happy and loved he was. She took him on beautiful park walks, kept me updated daily, and left my home spotless. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave, highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter.

Rae is awesome! My request was fairly last minute but she was quick to answer and schedule a meet n greet. Great communication and kept me posted on my girl while I was gone. I felt very comfortable having her in my home and even more confident that my old girl was happy and safe in her care. And thanks sharing your knowledge and making me a better dog mom!!!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. It’s a true joy and pleasure. Love spending my time with them as creating bonds I am available 2-8 hours a week. I work full time and miss having my own dog, so sitting dogs comes naturally and a is a joy. I can walk, board, and clean after dogs. With cats it’s the same and clean the litter box. Spend time playing with them and taking care of any anxieties.

About: While I may be new to the app I’ve been a dog owner my entire life. I know how to care for my fur friends💗 My schedule is very open Monday-Sunday. I can do early mornings, late evenings whatever is needed for your fur baby! Can’t wait to meet everyone’s little baby! I live in the heart of San Marco in a very pet friendly area so your baby will have plenty of others to see! Your baby comes first I am just there to serve their needs. I had an older dog with cancer so I’m familiar with administrating medications, sticking to schedules if needed and being a trusted person for your little one.

About: I've had pets my entire life of a variety of breeds Shih tzu/Maltese mix, 3 Golden retrievers, a Border collie/Australian shepherd mix and two border collies! I've also cared for dogs of friends and family ranging from Golden doodles, Saint Bernard (who is actually deaf!), German short haired pointer's and several other mixes, so I feel confident in handling several sizes and breeds. I've personally had two dogs who were taken from cancer so I unfortunately have extensive experience in administering a range of medication and caring just for ill pets in general (especially pertaining to chemo). I have a deep passion and love for animals, dogs specifically. I treat every dog with the same love and respect as I would my own. I have personal experience with having to trust sitters with my own furbabies and understand the stress and anxiety of having to leave them in someone else's care. As a bonus, I'm a full time work from home wedding and portrait photographer so I might snap a few high quality photos of your pet if I have time, on the house of course! : ) I currently make my own hours as I am a full time wedding and portrait photographer, which allows me to be available last minute. My only restriction with work is that I am oftentimes unavailable on weekends, especially in the evenings. Otherwise I have availability throughout the day M-F First and foremost, I know inviting a stranger into your home is intimidating. Add in trusting a stranger with your fur child, I've been in your position! I pride myself in being reliable, trustworthy, respectful and caring, and put a lot of pressure on myself to go above and beyond for anyone I'm serving. My job has placed me in the hospitality and service industry for the past 10 years so I like to have that reflect in all aspects of my work, pet sitting is no exception. I plan to thoroughly review any information you have to share about your pet and their environment and ask any questions to gain any clarity about their care. I am more than willing to give your pet the exercise they need, whether indoors or outdoors, or just give them my full attention, kisses, cuddles and scratches if that's what they prefer! We can play, cuddle, settle into meal time, brush, explore your backyard or neighborhood, whatever you prefer, I am willing to accommodate! If you have any questions or requests, please don't hesitate to ask. Above all, thank you for trusting me with your babies!!!

About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. I've lived with Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers and pet most every pup I see with permission, of course. I would love to visit with the dogs if my community. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.

My two Boston Terriers were well taken care of by Scott while I was on vacation. I received daily photos and updates on their dog walks and I could tell they were very comfy with Scott as their sitter. He played with them, gave them their fav treats and followed care guide great. My very cautious cat even made an appearance or two. Will definitely rebook next time I travel!

Jeweliana and Riley were phenomenal! We were initially skeptical since we had never used Rover before, but we’re so glad we found them. They were very communicative, kind to our dogs, and took excellent care of our home. I’m so thankful to have found people who get along so well with our pups and make us feel comfortable while we’re away, knowing our babies are in great hands.
