“Joanna and Gilbert took very good care of Snowy. They were very mindful of his feeding and walking schedule. Joanna was also very prompt with communication which I really appreciate.”
About: I have been around dogs since I was a kid and got my first dog at the age of five. Besides my personal experience taking care of all the dogs my family and I have had throughout the years, I have also done dog/cat sitting (overnight and drop in) for family friends. I am extremely thorough in my care for animals as I realize they are a part of the family. I have no issues working with animals (although I have mostly worked with dogs) who have high levels of energy or specific requirements. I have also overnight sat for more than one dog at a time. I work remote and am often able to care for dogs throughout my day. With a flexible work schedule, I can ensure that I am taking care of your dog whenever works best for them! While I am in an apartment, I live alone and have a fairly large space. Additionally I am only a few blocks from various dog parks (if that is something you allow). I would do everything in my power to ensure that your pet feels that my space is a safe environment for them and will be sure to communicate frequently with the owner about any questions that arise.
“Sonja had such a gentle demeanor with our 12 week old pup. From the start, she asked for a meet and greet, which was a very professional endeavor and immediately put her head and shoulders above other Rover sitters.”
“My doggie had a wonderful time with Asma and her pooch Mica! She was super considerate of his idiosyncrasies, and planned out a wonderful, well balanced, day care day for him.”
“Mia is very attentive to detail and followed all our instructions with Chester! She has experience with reactive dogs too. We felt at ease leaving Chester with her and would definitely do so again!”
About: Patient, caring, loving. I,ve taken care of elderly dogs that require more attention. Im a doctor that takes care of living things. You won't be disappointed. Im flexible. I work around the needs of the pets and their owners. I work from home, so I have the ability to work around their needs. I take care of the pets as if they were my own. Lots of pets, cuddles, and attention as long as they as willing and comfortable. While following the instructions and rules of their owners.
“Pat was very patient with all my over explaining of our dogs’s care needs. I wrote up some guidance on what she needed and it was clear that Pat read through our requests and confirmed his understanding. Pat sent updates and pictures during our dog’s stay so that we knew she was doing well.”
“Willow had a lovely stay with Sky and the little ones. Sky is very accommodating and made it easier for me to have Willow stay with a sitter for the first time. I truly appreciate all the time and care!!”
About: It is rare that I ever meet a cat or dog that I don't get along with within minutes of meeting. I have lived with cats all my life but also love taking care of and playing with dogs. I am currently unemployed due to a layoff so I am very flexible timewise. I also love animals and walking around the city so this could be great for now. My fiancé and I currently live in a three-floor rowhome with a small fenced-in backyard. We have two cats and one is not a huge fan of dogs but can stay on his own floor during the day.
“Asma is great! We had a nice meet and greet and Lulu has an awesome day with her. Asma was communicative and sent really cute photos throughout the day. Lulu the dog approved!!”
About: Hi! I‘m Mai, a true dog lover without a dog (for low!) I don’t have the capacity to care for one full-time, but still want dogs in my life. That’s why I’m her: to give your pup the love, attention and belly rubs they deserve. I‘m very reliable (maybe it’s my German passport 😀) and I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own. I have didn’t the past 2 years caring for my friends dogs - including wakings and overnights. I have taken care of my friends dogs (3 dogs) while traveling and really enjoy being with them. For larger dogs (40lbs and plus), I can only accommodate larger dogs if they are good at walking on the leash and don’t start pulling heavily. I’m very petite (5‘1). Despite regular workouts I don’t think I could go up against these dogs. lol I work from home and currently taking a break from traveling, so I’m also available during the weekend. Mondays and Fridays are very flexible, so that I can go on walks with your pups. I live in an apartment, so I can only take care of smaller dogs. So far they have all enjoyed it. Most of them like to look out of my floor to ceiling windows. :)
“I’m so grateful to Allison! She is very responsive, flexible, very patient and sweet with my dog who is very anxious and shy. I feel very relieved knowing he is in good hands. Thank you so much for watching my sweet angel!”
“Mac was able to help me out watching Spike for a few hours on short notice (I messaged the night before) and was great! Spike seems like he got lots of love during his stay ☺️ I will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Roshni took very good care of our dog, who is pretty shy and anxious. Roshni asked great questions about our dog that demonstrated that she is knowledgeable and empathetic about caring for animals. Questions like checking for allergies, confirming emergency vet info, ask about pet preferences, checking for triggers, etc. She was very patient and upbeat as I shared about our dogs less charming quirks. She sent updates and pictures throughout. It was clear our dog was in good company and I was able to focus on my own day without worrying about our high maintenance dog. Will definitely book Roshni again!”
“My pup had a wonderful time with Jacalyn and Rob! Jacalyn was fantastic. She’s super communicative and responsible. I loved receiving great pics and videos throughout the day. I’d absolutely have Jacalyn & Rob take care of Wilbur again.”
“Linde was fantastic. Our normally anxious pup was calm and happy when we picked him up. He seemed to have had a great time hanging out with his new friend. We appreciated the photos Linde took too!”
“Silvia is everything I was looking for in a pet sitter: kind, communicative, and responsive to my needs! Plus, she has lots of fantastic experience with dogs, so I knew my pup was in good hands!”
“Alexandra was an awesome dog sitter! She was very communicative and sent cute photos of my Chihuahua throughout the day :). She also took her on multiple walks, which my dog loves!”

Emily K.
“Over the past 7 years I've known Emily, her loyalty, consistency, and reliability has never waivered. She handles all tasks, small or large, with care and diligence. Whiskey, her family's beloved dog, is one of the greatest joys in her life. Every time I'm over at their house, she puts the needs of her dog first: walking up early to feed and walk him, endless cuddles, and lots of play time. Her dedication to her dog is the same dedication I see in our friendship. I know she will be an incredible caregiver to your own pets!”

Elvis V.
“Elvis did an incredible job pet sitting my cat, Bunny. Bunny is a highly energetic and food-obsessed boy who needs a lot of attention, stimulation, and structure to stay happy—and Elvis completely delivered. He spent tons of time playing with Bunny, keeping him engaged with toys and games, and making sure he never got bored or too fixated on food. Elvis was also incredibly loving and patient, treating Bunny like he was his own pet. Throughout my time away, Elvis sent frequent updates with photos and little notes, which really helped put me at ease and made me feel connected to Bunny even from afar. I came home to a calm, content, and clearly well-cared-for cat. It’s not easy to find someone you can trust with your pet, especially one with such a big personality, but Elvis was amazing. I’m so grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely ask him to watch Bunny again in the future!”

Ethan C.Star Sitter
“Ethan has looked after our bulldog Buddy many times. He is extremely reliable and very flexible with his time. Ethan loves to walk as his favorite hobby so Rover matches perfectly with his lifestyle. We really needed a sitter that would not only feed and walk Buddy but to live in our home while we were away to make sure Buddy had a lot of attention. We needed a live in replacement for us and Ethan did just that! Lots of photos and video updates were sent to us. We couldn’t be happier.”

Mai D.
“I have both lived with Mai and watched Mai take care of pups. She is very organized, thoughtful, empathetic, and kind-hearted. She always makes sure to prioritize playtime and cuddles with dogs, as well as keep them to their requested schedule. Mai is very fitness oriented and strong, and I am certain that she would make sure that your dog does this business, gets some fresh air, and is well taken care of in your absence.”
