Victoria was lovely to work with! We came back to a clean house with healthy and happy fur children. She gave us updates during the sitting and was flexible with any changes.

Kathleen really is the best! I’d give her 6/5 stars if I could. She was not only timely with the girls’ schedule, she sent us updates everyday along with pictures of them. We could tell how much she cared for the girls and we can’t thank her enough. Our cat was dealing with some vomiting issues, but Kathleen was on top of keeping us updated and making sure she was doing ok. We can’t recommend her enough!

My little girl is picky when it comes to puppy sitters. Sometimes she’ll just how the whole time and be totally freaked out by the time I get back . But Aaron was really great with her. She seemed to have a great time with him and was a happy girl.

Daniel and Sabrina were excellent dog sitters! They treated our dog like a queen! We loved all the photos they took, in which, you could tell our dog was having a good time and getting lots of attention and love. They took excellent care of the house and gave us great reports and updates with photos. I would use them again in a heartbeat for house sitting and dog watching!

Aileen was amazing. We had to change locations of care at the last minute. (Only a block away but still, that’s a headache). She sent great photos of the pups and they were so happy with her. I almost hate leaving a good review because then the Rover gets so booked they can’t handle my requests. (I know super selfish). She was attentive and loving and she made the night so much less stressful. She’s amazing!!!

About: I have many years experience with many kind of animals, as well as taking care of senior cats and dogs with health issues and medication needs. I'm have also worked with and owned rescue pets who need careful awarenes to understand triggers. I hold a Pet CPR and First Aid certification through American Redcross, and have volunteered at a human society for several years. I will get to know your pets special personalities, and know how important it is to maintain their regular routines! I work full time, but live and work in the neighborhood. My range is set close so that I can take a break and come check in on, walk, feed and play with your pets! I'm flexible with times throughout the day, very reliable and I enjoy getting to know neighbors and their pets. I love getting to spend more time with animals as I am currently petless for the first time in years! I follow instructions well and make sure to follow all directions to provide your pet with the routine they rely on. I know how important it is to maintain that routine while your pet is stressed with your absence, but still it fun! I have watched others animals for years, and have consistently been told that folks wouldn't trust anyone else! I also have had and taken care of multiple rescue animals with triggers and can learn how to recognize and adapt to make them feel safe.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, and I have experience with both. I’m down take walks, play with them, or pet sit overnight! I’m a full time law student, so I try to pet sit before/after class and on the weekends. However, I try to be flexible as much as possible and will communicate my availability for the week. I share an apartment with two other students and a cat, so it won’t be possible to pet sit at my apartment. My pet sitting experience has been at the client’s home/apartment, and I find that the pet is more comfortable that way too.

Anna is amazing!! We booked her a few times now and will keep rebooking, as long as she’s available. From the moment of our meet & greet, I could tell she had the confidence & ability to care for our 2 energetic pups (Aussie & Golden) and meet their needs. Whether it was fetch sessions in the backyard or walks around the neighborhood. She sent updates and photos often and highlighted their personalities, so we were very at ease while out of town. She stayed at our home while we were out of town on two separate occasions and when we returned the house was very well cared for, along with our dogs. Our pups were definitely met with their needs. Thanks Anna.

Olive was a fantastic cat and house sitter! Olive stayed at our house and watched our 2 cats for 2.5 weeks. We received frequent updates with pictures and felt secure that our house and kitties were well taken care of. The house looked great when we returned and the kitties were well fed and brushed! We will be booking Olive in the future!

We’ve had Adrian housesit for our 2 cats and new puppy twice over the past few months and both times Adrian was communicative throughout the stay, let us know about any potential issues proactively (pet not eating much, etc.), and just overall made us feel super safe leaving our pets—who don’t quite get along with each other yet—in someone else’s hands. We were especially grateful to Adrian for watching our puppy and keeping up with her house training and training in general, and we’ll definitely be repeat customers for as long as possible.

About: Hi, I’m Angie (they/she)! I’m a dog parent and PhD student with 4+ years of walking and caring for my own reactive dog, and 17 years of petsitting dogs, cats, small mammals, and lizards. My goal in pet care of any kind is making sure your pets feel as safe, loved, and happy as possible while you’re away. I’m very comfortable working with reactivity in dogs and will ask all dog owners what their dog’s limits and preferences are regarding common triggers during walks. I also have experience with senior dog and cat care and medication administration. I’m a PhD student with a flexible work schedule during the school year and full daytime availability during the summer. This allows me to accommodate most care requests. The safety and comfort of your pets is my most important priority. I commit to following the “leave no trace” rule when visiting in client’s homes.

Marisa did such an excellent job taking care of our fur babies! We had a last minute situation with Peaches who went to the ER the night before our scheduled trip and Marisa was super responsive and flexible. She was able to give Peaches her scheduled medication, and was able to take care of some pee accidents. Marisa did above and beyond and cleaned everything! Peaches was also nervous at first, and Marisa was able to adjust to her nerves and made her feel at ease. All that and was also able to take care of our little chihuahua Bantay. Marisa was also very good at keeping me updated. I’m so happy with Marisa and will definitely rehire and recommend everyone to do the same! ❤️

I can’t say enough good things about Natalia! She’s been my go-to cat sitter for the last year and I’m so happy to have found her. My cats are pretty picky with who they’ll sit with but they both love her! Natalia is communicate, trustworthy, and flexible. This latest trip I took, I arrived home 6 hours later than expected and Natalia was more than willing to stop by and feed/check in on the cats before I arrived. She’s the best!

Emma was amazing and took great care of my 60Ibs pittie mix (with some dog reactivity considerations, meds, and enrichment needs) for two weeks! Great to coordinate in advance with, very communicative and on time. While I was away, Emma offered updates and was responsive when I checked in. I came home to a healthy and happy pup and my home in good condition! Also mindful of building / security rules of my building. Emma went above and beyond staying later with my dog over Fourth of July evening. I had peace of mind while Emma was here. Kiska misses Emma already…

Leaving my dog in a strangers hands last minute is always nerve racking…but Hillary showed kindness, intuitiveness, and an ease that made me feel confident leaving my space and Nova in good hands. When I returned the space was clean, Nova was calm and happy, and Hillary asked great questions / was commutative throughout the stay. So grateful and would absolutely book again!

Kathy did a fantastic job taking care of my dog while I was gone for 3 weeks! There was an emergency and she handled it very well despite me being so far away. My dog looked well cared for by the time I got back! This was the longest I’ve been away from my dog too, so seeing she was well-loved and cared for was very reassuring for me. I always know Daisy is getting the best care when Kathy looks after her. 10/10
