Hilary did an amazing job taking care of my kitties! She sent regular pictures and even some videos. She was easy to communicate with and my kitties loved her! I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future should I need a sitter again.

I have three pets, one of which is "elderly" at almost 17 years old. I never have to worry about my pets when they are in Rachel's care. She is prompt for the drop in visits, sends photos of my pets, and message me updates when necessary. I would highly recommend booking Rachel for all your pet sitting or walking needs!

We are first time users and wanted to give Rover a try. We matched with Olivia and she put our concerns to rest. She stopped by to get to know all about our dog. We got an update every time she stopped with a picture. We are very pleased with Olivia. We knew our dog was in good hands!

I’ve booked with Isabella a few times now, and she NEVER disappoints! She truly goes above and beyond for my two cats. She spends time playing with them and giving them lots of love during her visits, which I super appreciate since they tend to get quite lonely. She also does a very thorough job making sure everything is as clean and orderly as possible prior to my return home. Always an AMAZING experience booking with her!!

About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Los Angeles. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.

About: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷

About: I've dog sat for various families over the years. I've house sat 3 different times, and have experience with senior dogs needing extra care (medicine, cleaning, etc.) I also have experience watching up to three dogs at once. I have family and friends willing to assist me in case of emergencies, as well. I know some dog first aid, including CPR and Heimlich. Once I graduate from college and finish my summer classes in September, my schedule will be completely open! I don't have any regular weekly commitments, so I can spend as much time with your pet(s) as needed! I like to spend as much time with pets as possible, even if that just means sitting in the same room as them while we each do our own things.

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs since I was around 10 years old! I have worked with shy and anxious dogs, as well as super high energy friends!

While watching your dog at your home, I will continue to keep your dog in their routine and make them comfortable even when you are not there with them! I know every single pet is different and has different needs. I am ready to dive right in and help your dog in any way that you may need!

About: Since I can remember, i’ve always done the favor for my neighbors/family members to take care of their pets while they are away on vacation or any last minute sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that be going on walks, giving them cuddles, playing out doors or even giving them a bath ! If you have specific instructions for me to follow, such as set feeding or potty time I will be punctual with those. I am no excited to meet your pet and spend time with them :) I am currently working a part-time job in the afternoon to later evening. I am free anytime in the morning and anytime after 7:30 pm. I am a college student and currently am on summer break, when school picks back up in the fall I will be available anytime on the weekend. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable around me and comfortable with me petting them! In your home I will first speak with owner and figure out pets routine and their favorite spots around the house and which areas are off limits, I will get familiar with the home as well. I don’t plan on having any pets over as I do live in a small apartment but if that be the case at any time, I will speak with owner and make sure I have all the essentials for their pet to have a welcoming and comfortable stay.

Tami has been taking care of our cats for years and we can't imagine leaving them in the hands of anyone else! One of our cats is 21 years old and is on medications. This trip, Tami came up with another method to administer one of the meds that works much better and we've now adopted that method. In addition to taking care of our cats, Tami is kind enough to also check our mail, water plants, and fill bird feeders and bird bath. Not in her job description but takes the stress away from traveling knowing our cats, and house, are in great hands! Sadly, we lost one of our 3 cats this year and Tami warmed our hearts with a donation in his honor to the Cat House. Tami is a great communicator and always responds to my texts quickly. She is simply the best!
