“"I'm not sure I ever want to use another house sitter ever again" - my girlfriend a few moments before we went to bed on the freshly washed sheets in our spotless apartment Couldn't agree more. Raymell and Serenity were simply amazing. This was our first time using any app to have a pup watched, and for house sitting in general, and I am so glad we found Ray and Serenity. They were in constant communication with us our entire 5 day trip. We received updates for Ushi (our 12 week boston puppy), great pictures, and came back to our apartment cleaner than we left it (and I thought it was pretty damn clean!). All instructions we left for them were followed, and they promptly asked questions the moment they were unsure about anything. If I could leave more stars I would. We got stuck in San Diego a little longer than expected due to the tropical storm and Ray and Serenity were EXTREMELY accommodating and empathetic to our situation. THANK YOU BOTH!”

“Rori was so sweet! She took care of our little princess as if she was her own. She was communicated well and sent lots of pics to assure us she was in good hands! Will definitely be using her again.”
“Kristi was excellent. We have a family friend who normally comes and watches our dogs, but she was out of town during our time away, so we were a little nervous (and excited!) to try out Rover. Before the actual appointment, Kristi did a meet and greet with our two dogs, which was super helpful to ensure the dogs had met and vibed with her. During our 3-day weekend away, Kristi stayed with our dogs and was very responsive throughout. She followed instructions, sent us photos, and, probably most helpful of all (to me), was confident and reassured us our dogs were in good hands! It's tough for me to part with my dogs in a situation like this, but she put me at ease the very first day. Best of all, we came home to two happy dogs! :) Would definitely book with Kristi again!”
“Thank you Casey for your awesomeness. Yogi loved your companionship. We both truly appreciate your kindness, happiness, helpfulness and awesomeness. Yogi loves his new friend Casey. We both look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your excellent attention and friendship. 😊⭐️🤗⭐️🐕”

“Jeanne is such a delight. From the moment you meet her, you feel at ease and trusting with your pet(s). She will care for your home and pets just like her own. She has a loving nature about her in how she speaks of her own family. We felt completely at ease leaving our home and pet in her care. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Jeanne!!”

“Kayla took wonderful care of our 3 fur babies for 5 days. She was attentive to the one who needed special care and medication. She sent us numerous updates and pictures. We returned home to happy dogs and a clean house. Would highly recommend and will be using her services again.”

“Jen is absolutely amazing! Not only does she make me feel comfortable leaving, she loves my pups just as much as I do! She send amazing updates and photos and keeps in constant contact. Love Jen!!!!”

“The perfect sitter! I have two big dogs. They are awesome but 150lbs of dog can be a handful. He handled them like a pro and they adore him. I look forward to booking again. I felt so comfortable being away from the house knowing they were in great hands.”

“Cat and Casie were great!! I needed a dog sitter very last minute for a week-long trip and Cat jumped right on board ready to meet me and my pups and learn all the ropes of their routine on short notice. I was excited to receive numerous updates while I was out of town, even though I didn’t have the best phone service out of the country - I was kept in the loop on how my dogs were doing the whole time via texts, photos, and sweet videos describing their day together. Cat took them on multiple walks and adhered to all the things they are used to, even cuddling on the couch with plenty of blankets. I appreciate this sitter’s attentiveness to detail (I am very detail oriented when it comes to my dogs and house), tidiness, communication, willingness to devote attention to the dogs day and night - and just overall being kind, cool people. Josie and Hamilton surprisingly weren’t even THAT wildly excited when we got home (not as much as we expected anyway), which makes me believe they had a great time with Cat and Casie!”

“Our dogs can be a little picky about who they like, but they liked Anna right away when they met her. She was pleasant and flexible about stopping by prior to our booking. We will definitely ask her to watch Fred and Simsi again.”


About: I grew up with a variety of pets. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. As a teacher with a flexible summer schedule, I provide dependable care while keeping pets comfortable in their normal routines. I really enjoy going on walks and playing with pets so they are cared for while their owners are away. As a teacher, my schedule varies throughout the year. During summer break, I have a flexible schedule and am available for most services throughout the day. During the school year, I’m available evenings, weekends, holidays, and select house sits. Feel free to reach out. I’ll always let you know if I can make your dates work! I know how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, so I prioritize communication and send plenty of photo updates throughout each stay. I know it can feel intimidating to leave your pet in someone else's care. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable. As a teacher and lifelong dog lover, I'm dependable, attentive, and respectful of others' homes. I'll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and care while you're away.

“Having Ayisha at our place was just amazing. She was super nice with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the entire stay and even went out of her to help us solve a small issue at home. We are so grateful for her care and kindness. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their pets. We ll definitely be calling her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was eight and I decided to pet the dog that I wasn’t supposed to. later, our family fell in love with her and we decided to keep her. After that I’ve had dogs, cats, hermit crabs, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish. I’ve done my fair share of research for all of these animals most of my animals have been rescues so I have dealt with medical issues and have experience with giving medication. It is within my best interest to make sure your pets are well taken care of, safe and comfortable while in my care. I’m also open to caring for disabled or special needs pets. Every day, I love animals more and more. I can be your trusted pet sitter! This is my full-time job so I have a flexible schedule and can work with you on unique schedules to fit your dog needs. communicate with me what you need and nine times out of 10, I can be there exactly when you need. I can feed walk play with/interact with your pets based on the schedule given me. Additionally, I have a fenced gate and two friendly small fur babies that yours can play with. I also have open space in my house for playtime.
“Yvette took excellent care of Bailey. He is 15 and not feeling his best; yet, she was there for him all the time she watched him while we were at a son’s wedding. Anyone who is looking for the best care for your pet, you can’t go wrong with Yvette.”


“Alexis was very responsive and attentive to the instructions that I provided. I appreciated that she asked about their normal routines and requests for the stay. Our dogs were instantly comfortable with her!”


About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—my father was a veterinarian, my mother a teacher—and I’ve looked after countless fur babies of all kinds. Pets are among the most precious parts of our lives. ❤️ I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pay close attention to their routines, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, walks at the park, or cuddle time, I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I provide exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and loving attention tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. I have the flexibility to care full-time for pets in my home or yours, with reliability and genuine love. If house sitting, I can also help with small household tasks so your home stays comfortable and maintained while you’re away. In Hawaiian, a pet caretaker is called a Kahu—which means guardian, protector, and steward of something cherished. This meaning really resonates with me and take that role seriously while caring for your fur baby, providing love, attention, and safety as if they were my own.💕 For pets boarding at my home, I provide a kennel and dog bed for convenience so you don’t have to transport yours, but you’re welcome to bring your own! Work-from-home sitter giving your fur baby (and home, if housesitting) love, attention, and playtime. Huge fenced backyard and nearby parks for walks—updates and photos sent so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and spoiled! I follow all care instructions, administration of medicine schedules and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while doing my best to stay on their schedule at home that they are used to. My grandchildren sometimes visit to give extra love, but if your dog doesn’t get along with children, they won’t be present. Certified in CPR & Pet First Aid (08/2025) with verification badges in my photo gallery. I love building long-term relationships so your fur baby looks forward to coming back! For your convenience, I have a kennel available at my home if your pup is crate-trained or enjoys having a cozy space to relax. You’re welcome to use mine, so there’s no need to bring one back and forth unless you prefer to.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sycamore
If I could give Ray more than five stars, I absolutely would! Leaving my two dogs, Cookie and Tank, for 11 days was a huge leap of faith for me. I was nervous about being away from them for that long, but Ray made it so easy to relax and enjoy my vacation. She sent daily updates with onphotos, which gave me such peace of mind. It was obvious from every picture and message that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving so much love and attention. During my trip, Tank ate a frog and got sick. Ray immediately contacted the vet, followed their guidance, and even prepared special food for him until he was feeling better. Knowing she handled everything so calmly and responsibly while keeping me informed meant the world to me. Ray also went above and beyond by taking care of little things around my home that she didn’t have to do. It’s those thoughtful touches that show how much she genuinely cares about both the pets and their owners. The best compliment I can give is that when I returned home, Cookie and Tank were happy, healthy, and absolutely loved Ray. It’s clear she treated them like family, not just clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Ray to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly exceptional. I won’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Terry Tanksley

Alexandria was an absolute life saver when our pet sitter fell through at the last minute before vacation! She took excellent care of my fur babies, they were so happy! She was amazing with communication, sending updates and cute pics multiple times a day and even came an extra time when we were delayed arriving home. I had a stress free trip knowing my pets we’re well loved and in good hands. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Arrived early and was able to stay later than anticipated! She arrived to the hotel early and kept my dog company until our return. My dood is very Velcro and gets anxious when we leave. “Sue” was able to reassure her and kept her calm and quiet and those avoiding any hotel guests complaining…Highly recommend!! Will definitely contact her again for our next visit to the area.

We had a great experience with Corrina. She was super responsive and responsible with our dogs. The most important thing for us is the safety and wellbeing of our dogs and they were exactly the same when we returned as when when we had left, which is the only thing I could ever ask for. We look forward to our next sitting!
