“Marissa was a great sitter, she checked on Miso while we were out of town. She sent photos and a little update for the two days we were gone.”


“First time using rover and Parker was awesome. So responsive and very flexible with our last minute booking need! He made sure to keep us updated and made us feel secure with our pup being with someone new. Highly recommend him and will be looking forward to future visits!”


“Have booked with Bethany a few times! I know my cats will be taken great care of when she watches them! They have literal smiles on their faces when she sends photos :) great rover!”


“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”


“Jen was amazing with my senior Maltipoo. Super communicative and flexible with scheduling.”


“Thank you, David, for this last minute book! We appreciate you taking care of our pups! David was very communicative and everything went smoothly. We’ll book him again!”


“Ian watched our 2 cats for 5 days and did a fantastic job! His attention to detail made me feel very comfortable, which can be hard for me while I’m away from my babies. He ensured the boys got tons of playtime and left detailed notes every visit that made me smile! He even left the apartment, feeding areas, and litter room spotless and took the trash out. Ian is by far the best sitter I have found on this app and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I would recommend him to anyone that I know!”


“Michael stepped up last minute to help care for Milo during the week of fourth of July. He provided plenty of photos and let me know any issues he encountered. Milo seemed to really really like him which is great too. Absolutely would recommend and book again...with greater notice next time lol.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. My friends have trusted me to feed, walk, and play with their pets whenever they’ve been out of town. I’m currently unemployed right now. I’m pretty much fully available to handle pet care at anytime and any day. There are a few nights here and there that I may need off though. I don’t plan to have pets over at my own house for now. I’ve house and pet sat in the past so I’m fully capable of handling both tasks.

“Tala was absolutely amazing with our two cats! She was incredibly reliable, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. We especially appreciated the thoughtful videos, frequent photo updates, and detailed check-ins—it gave us total peace of mind. We would 100% book with her again any day!”


“Mariia was amazing with our two kitties! She took care of them for five days with two visits a day and there wasn’t a day I was worried about them thanks to her! She was always on time and very communicative with anything that the rascals did. She sent us so many pictures and videos of them, which helps when we missed them. I was so pleasantly surprised to get home to a great smelling home too because she cleaned so well after them! Needless to say, we loved her and hope to have her take care of our kitties in the future!”


“Samantha was awesome with our critters and accepted our booking last minute after another sitter fell through. She was very knowledgeable on rabbit and cat care. She asked lots of questions about my pets during our meet and greet to better understand their behavior's and care. My cat was also all over her the entire visit rubbing on her. She took some amazing glamor shots of my pets while we were away. Three pets is a lot of work for a 30 minute visit and she did a great job. I will definitely book with her again!”


“Olha took care of our cats for a week, she sent us pictures of the cats at each visit with a description of how they were doing. I highly recommend Olha.”


“Yenah was awesome with both of my pets! She did a great job accommodating our requests. Pluto and Goose really loved her and seemed so happy when she was over. Thanks Yenah!!”


“Erica was absolutely amazing with our fur babies! We had last minute plans and she worked with us, making our time away stress free. She exceeded our expectations by offering to feed our bearded dragon as well. I highly recommend Erica for pet care services and will definitely book her again!”


“Kristin is very sweet and took great care of my kittens. I loved the pictures and messages she sent everyday and felt confident the kittens and my apartment were well looked after. She was very communicative and the kittens were in great spirits when I came back after a week. I would schedule her again.”


About: I've had dogs for 12+ years and been the Go-To dog sitter for friends and family for all their pups! Young pups, senior pups, high-energy pups, or super chill pups, I love them all! I currently have a WFH job. I do go out in the field for a few hours a day, but that varies. Annie (my pup) go on two walks a day. I'm usually home til 10 am, and if I go into the field, I try to be back by 2-3 pm. I have a comfy couch that's open to pups for naps and cuddles. I have a nice, fenced-in backyard, a walkable neighborhood. Plenty of space for crate training if needed. I will love on your dog as if they are my own. I will most likely give them a cute nickname, and I might be a little generous with the treats, oops.

“Gabriela was fantastic!”

We are more than happy to take the pups out when they stay with us (only if allowed by owners). About Sunny 👨⚕️: I am an animal care professional with 15 years of pet care experience. I can provide special services including medication administration. I love playing with dogs and giving them walks when you board or book house sit with me, and I’ll make sure your pets are happy throughout the time with me.

I will be the main person that spends time with your pup or pups if you book a home sit service with us. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preferred start/ end time.

Her contact will show up in this account very soon. Sunny works from an office days everyday, and Wendy has a flexible schedule and works from home. With advanced notice we can accommodate our schedule to fit your needs. We have a two-story house with a high-fenced yard. Pets are allowed in the public area, patio and yard. There is also a fenced dog park in my neighborhood.
