“Tori was so great! Took good care of all of our animals, was a lovely guest in our home, shared frequent photos and status updates, and was overall a pleasure to work with. Will be rebooking. :)”

About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently own two of my own cats. Many of my friends have larger dogs, and have relied on me to help check on them while they are out of town and take them for walks and have play dates. I love all kinds of dogs and cats! I am currently working from home on Mondays and Fridays, but that will change to working from home on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in the next couple of weeks. My nights are mostly free and am able to be flexible with my schedule. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, well fed and hydrated, and give them the playtime and snuggles they need! I make sure litter boxes and yards are clean and clean up any accidents that may happen.
“Emily was great. She was able to help me out last minute for the holidays and everything went amazing. She updated me frequently with photos. Came home to happy pups! I would and will definitely use her again.”

“Tiffany was amazing. Frequently updated me with how my pets were doing and sent lots of pictures! I would definitely feel comfortable having her look after all my pets again”

“Another successful booking with Chloe for our 3 pups! I received daily photos/videos, daily medication was administered, and the pups were in great spirits upon our return. You can tell they were well cared for.”

“Jeena was great as always and very reliable. She not only took great care of our cats, but she respects and takes care of our home while we are gone. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting and house sitting needs!”

“Hayden did a good job taking care of Jack while I was out of town. She was very attentive to his needs and made me feel comfortable. Communication was good.”

“Ross has done an amazing job taking care of my pup. He has been very communicative which I really appreciated. It helped me to have a good trip without worrying about my pup. Thx Ross for taking care of Benny.”

“Jennifer took care of our two high energy dogs without any issues! She was incredibly responsive and left our house in great condition. I highly recommend her.”

“I went out of town for a couple of days and Emily stayed at my place watching my dog Leo. She was so responsive and caring. She also sent daily updates and pictures. Emily was so sweet with Leo I will definitely have who come watch him again she I’m out of town ❤️❤️”


“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”

“Zachary was an excellent dog/cat/house sitter for me. Professional. Excellent communicator and left my house cleaner than it was before my trip. I highly recommend him and will be booking him again!”

“Nicole did a wonderful job caring for my pets! Both of my dogs can be skittish around new people, but they took quickly to her and were comfortable with her in their space. She did an amazing job at communicating with me and sent lots of pictures so I knew how they were doing. I would definitely book with Nicole again!”

“So grateful! She did an amazing job with my quirky dog. Followed all care instructions perfectly. Loved all the pictures and updates. Will definitely book again to housesit.”

“This sitter was amazing and made our vacation away from our pets doable! She spent lots of time with Sunny and Kitty, taking them for walks and playing with them. She sent lots of pics each day, all day long to assure us the animals were getting lots of attention. There were no negative issues at all! Highly recommend!”

The Gate District pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bri was so easy to work with! She was communicative, reliable, and our pets absolutely adored her. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we felt so comfortable with her taking care of things for us. Our pets have never been less stressed out while we were away; they were immediately comfortable with her which says a lot (small neurotic dog and finicky cat). We're so thrilled to have found her.

Can't possibly say enough positives about Porter. Been traveling 40 + years with in-home sitters and no one has come close, to him. He loves what he does. And oh my, how my dogs love him. They sleep in bed with him. That is their routine. He followed precisely every direction that I left him. He also cleaned my house and it looks better than it did when I left. I only wish we had found him sooner. He is a stellar man as well and did the very best job. We are so happy to have found him.

We are so thankful for Shel. Our girl Pickles is very timid and anxious with meeting new people and Shel handled her with patience and unbelievable care. She was kind and did extra meet and greets prior to our trip to make sure Pickles was comfortable with her. While we were gone we received many updates and she continued our training program. Our home and pets were well cared for and everyone would be so lucky to have Shel watch their fur children.

Phoebe had excellent communication and reliability. She asked great clarifying questions before and during her stay. We loved getting her photos and updates while she was house and dog sitting for us! I am confident Francis and Luca and the fish were in good hands while we were away! We’d love to book Phoebe again in the future!

A superstar! Tiffanie was amazing in every aspect of caring for our family pet during our weeklong vacation in Europe. She sent lots of photos and updates. Our pet is so playful and wants us to toss his toys way more to a before we left - our dog whispered that he wants to see Tiffanie soon! It was a relief to be away and know that he was being taken care of by a caring and adult pet sitter!

Haley was absolutely incredible!! She stayed in our home to care for our two dogs and transient cat while we were on vacation. She was extremely communicative, caring, proactive in her approach, trustworthy, and super easy to talk to. She went above and beyond, especially when our flights were delayed and we needed an extra night of care last minute. We are fairly anxious pet parents, but she calmed our nerves immediately. We highly recommend and love Haley!!
