“This was my first time using Rover and my first time using Ann for my two 7-year-old kitties. Ann did an exceptional job. She showed up when she was supposed to and was very thorough and timely with her communication from beginning to end. I will use Ann again for sure! Thanks, Ann!!”


“My dog is very nervous of new people, but Emma was awesome! She did absolutely everything to make Bailey comfortable and was very communicative. She even took time to give a little love to my kitties. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Edith is amazing!!! I'm a repeat customer, she is one of the few people I feel comfortable having take care of my cats while I'm away. This time a fuse blew in the living room and she let me know. She also moved the cats water fountain, it had been effected by the outage. It's a big bonus that both of my cats are comfortable with Edith.”


“Did a great job while I was out of the country. Very grateful to Kiari”


“Alison was incredible! I knew from when she first met Nigiri that he would be in great hands. She was super timely, flexible with his feeding schedule, and always cuddled with him. I could easily tell from all the photos that he adored her right away. I hope there will be a time where Alison and Nigiri can hang out again soon!”



“I’m very happy that animal lovers like Eko and Sarah get to experience the joy that we often do with our dogs. Work requires a long commute for both my husband and I, and we worry about their need for potty breaks and being able to enjoy the day. I cannot express how truly grateful I am for their help in ensuring the well being of our dogs, our peace of mind, and the very modest rate they’re requesting to do so. While very relaxed in our request for help, Eko and Sarah were taking notes (literally) on what we hoped to achieve on their drop-ins, even exceeding requested times to ensure the welfare of our dogs. I thank them for this peace of mind, and I look forward to all the photos of future adventures they experience! (As my husband and I continue to work and “make that puppy food!”).”


“10/10 recommend! Thank you for all your help Chris!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs from many different breeds! I often will dog sit my neighbors, friends, and families dogs while they are on vacation. My work schedule is very flexible and I work three days a week so I am available for potty breaks/ dog walking every 2-4 hours. There’s also plenty of time for play! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard with a runner for pups to play! I have two male pembroke welsh corgis that love to play!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve raised my sweet Lab/Pit mix since she was just 6 weeks old, and I’ve helped care for many family pets—from energetic Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to strong, independent Huskies. I also share my home with a large, lovable yellow cat who’s been with me for the last 5 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether I’m stopping in to check on your furry friend or taking them out for a walk, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of belly rubs (if they’re into that). Looking forward to meeting your pet soon! I am currently enrolled in grad school for social work. For this I am working a part time (unpaid) internship leaving me to find other ways of income until I graduate. I am very flexible but love consistency when it comes to responsibilities. I treat every home with the same care and respect I expect in my own. I’m mindful of your space, follow any specific instructions you provide, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. Your home and your pet’s comfort are my top priorities.

“Ruben was great!! He was on time, very nice, and took good care of my two dogs. This was my first time having a stranger walk my dog who is very reactive and I felt comfortable after meeting Ruben that he was very knowledgeable and could handle it. I would definitely book with him again!”


“Ali was very communicative and caring. She was prompt with her visits and gave our dog a lot of great individualized care and love while we were gone!”


“Lingwen is great! Highlight recommend”


About: Hello! My name is Clara and I adore dogs. I grew up with 2 rambunctious boxers and was heavily involved in their puppy training and continued care. I now have the sweetest, little beagle mix of my own who is a gentle senior. She loves spending time with other dogs and so this is no barrier to accepting other dogs into my apartment! I am a medical student and also have abundant experience as a medical assistant and home health aid. Caring for others - whether dogs or humans - is my biggest passion and skill. I hope you give me the joy of caring for your dog! I’m a medical student so in general, drop in visits and walks work best for me on the weekends or at nighttime! However, I do have an ever changing schedule so please inquire for more information. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but am also happy to let them roam free if that is their preference. Your dog will always be leashed when I take them outside my apartment for walks. I love to take dogs out frequently (every 0-2 hours), so they get lots of outdoors time and stimulation! I also love playing games like tug of war. I truly have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to what your pet needs!

“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”


About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life, and have had many other pets over the years. I used to volunteer at the local animal shelter, and in recent years, have started dog sitting for a pack of 4 giant dogs. I also have experience caring for pigeons, rabbits, frogs, and hamsters. I love all animals, even the slimy and slithery ones, and feel comfortable caring for any pet with proper instructions. I'm currently unemployed and have a lot of availability! I don't do much nowadays, and would love to spend some time with some cute animals. I prefer not to work Sundays and Mondays, however that is simply a preference and not set it stone. I have a lot of flexibility! I do not care for other pets in my own home, specifically because our cat is easily startled and I absolutely do not want to stress him out with unfamiliar animals! I'd be happy to care for your pets in your home. I can handle feeding, playtime, and administering some medications. I can also do shorter walks (under 15 mins)

“Gabriela was awesome! She was very thorough and took great care of our cats! I will gladly book her again when we need someone to watch them!”


“Giana was amazing with my two cats. She did drop-ins while I was away and made sure to send photos and updates every visit. I really appreciated how easy she was to communicate with and how clearly she cared about the cats. She even stopped by for an extra visit when I got home later than expected, which meant a lot. I came back to happy, relaxed cats and felt totally at ease the whole time thanks to her. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.”


“Jaqueline was so wonderful!! She was reliable and easy to work with, and she was great with my cat Milo! I will definitely be rebooking next time I go away:)”


“Andreana was once again amazing in taking care of our sweet Lady, but also a very rambunctious puppy! With all the updates and pictures, my wife and I felt assured both dogs were being well cared for.”


“After meeting with Erin, I could tell she was going to be very thoughtful and caring when taking care of my two crazy pups. She did a great job dropping in on them today and I’ve already booked her for more drop ins / stays. It gives me great peace of mind to have someone I can trust.”
