1. Randi F.
About: I grew up with dogs all my like and was responsible for taking care of them too. Now I have my own little boy who I love very much. Always trusted by friends and family to care for their pets. I’ll always treat your pet like my own! I’m a mom who is home regularly and can make time for pets throughout the day. I’m also around most weekends to care for your babies. I treat everyone’s pet like my own. If a client is ok with their dog out and about I prefer it that way. If not, that is fine too. Other pets can remain in their environments or have space of their own to roam and play.

“Me and Rebecca volunteered at an animal shelter together for a few months. It was a great experience and Rebecca was always super responsible and respectful with all the animals and workers. I believe that she will be a great fit at rover.”

“Becky did an awesome job taking care of my 2 cats and parrot. She was attentive and flexible throughout the entire visit. My pets were happy and well taken care of! I do recommend using her and plan on having her pet sit for me again in the future!”


4. Marissa D.
“Hi! I consider my fur babies my human children as well. Marissa has always taken excellent care of her own dogs as well as many others. Either dog sitting jobs and dog walking. I can’t recommend her enough as she showers every dog with pure love and attention. She respectfully understands directions from pet owners and adheres very strictly to them. Because of that people can go away or go to work with zero worry. She also can successfully administer anlmost any medication even to the pickiest of dogs. She’s always reliable, and you can count on her.”

“I have known Alessandra for a few years now. In those years I have been able to see her ability to not only care for her family, friends and loved ones, but for pets as well! She herself has a cat who she loves and adores and she takes the best care of him. She fills him with love and care. I have seen first hand her treatment with my own dog. She has taken him for walks, fed him and done check ins while I was gone for a couple weeks”

12. Jennamarie M.
About: I grew up with a sweet and silly dog named Juju for nearly my entire life - we spent 17 incredible years together! I've always been around dogs and over the years I've helped dog sit for many family and friends because of that experience. Since I am currently a dog mom to two pups as well, I understand the true care, level of trust, and attention to detail that is necessary to helping with others fur babies. You can count on me! I am a full-time teacher, therefore my availability is typically after 4pm. I am normally available on the weekends, especially for arrangements made in advance! I would care for pets in your home by adhering to every bit of guidance and instruction that you provide! When my mom watched my two dogs for the first time one weekend, I typed up 2 full pages of notes - the more information the better in my opinion! I also love to send photo updates.


13. Elena D.

“I honestly love your visits and from the start I could see that Fumacinha remembered you and was comfortable. Thank you for taking the time to walk him in the visit and be so kind to him. It makes a difference and I always feel at ease even traveling. Thank you”

“Velina has taken care of our sweet Rosie for over 3 years! In addition to walks Velina stays here when I am away for work or business. She is loving, responsible, kind and calm. She sends updates and photos that show her and Rosie taking long walks or having cuddles. Rosie can’t wait to see her! Velina is reliable and part of our family. We are grateful.”


15. Stephanie & Christopher P.

18. Hannah Y.

“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”
