“Chrissy is very dependable, flexible, and I love that she genuinely cares about my fur babies. I've had to ask her at the last minute to let them out when I was stuck at work and she made it happen!”


2. Miranda H.


“Miranda did a fabulous job. She went above and beyond, meeting the cats before the sit, playing with them, gaining their trust. She is very communicative and we were completely confident that our babies were well looked after. We came home to happy and healthy cats.”


3. Dominique M.

“This was my first experience using a dog walker via Rover and I’m so thankful that I ran across Dominique’s profile. She was amazing! She calmed my anxiety with leaving my dogs in someone else’s care, she was sweet and caring with my dogs and her communication was impeccable. I seriously cannot be more thankful to her!!! Please consider her for your pet care needs.”




4. Connie T.


“Connie is a wonderful pet sitter. We have three crazy dogs that she watches for us when we are out of town. I never worry about them. She gives them lots of love, care and attention. She has also brought in my packages, checked my mail and gave my cat water..all without ever being asked. We highly recommend her!!!”


5. Anhelika V.

“Anhelika IS THE BEST!! This is our second time using her & we feel so confident and comfortable that our little guy is being well taken care of when we are away. She goes above and beyond to play with him, spend time with him, and make sure he gets all the love we would give! To us it feels like this is more than just a job for her and our little guy definitely feels it too. Thank you Anhelika for taking such good care of our fur baby!!”


6. Elizabeth F.

“We'll, Elizabeth is just the best! There are not enough superlatives to describe her. Trustworthy, caring, detail oriented, and compassionate. She took care of our puppy as if she were her own. We're prepared to use her over and over again.”


7. Sheila W.

“Sheila was wonderful! She left detailed notes that reassured me that my pups were doing well and took the time to bring my shy dog out of her shell. I will definitely request her services again next time!”


8. Valerie D.

“I can’t say enough great things about Valerie and the care she takes with our little one. This last time she was very flexible and was able to add an additional visit because our need changed. I highly recommend Valerie.”


9. Judy H.

“Judy took such good care of our babies while we were out of town. We have 2 dogs, a cat and a bearded dragon. She is so compassionate and took the extra time with my gentle giant who is afraid of everything. We were at ease knowing our pets were in caring hands. We will gladly have Judy look after our babies again!”


10. Francesca M.

“I would definitely book with Francesca again. She was willing to take on a last minute request for pet care and was very accommodating and followed all instructions well. The pictures were great too. It made me feel better about leaving my fur baby for the weekend knowing he was getting lots of love and attention 🐈⬛💙”


11. Heidi S.
“Heidi did an amazing job taking care of my two fur babies while I was away! She even provided updates daily so there were no worries on my end. She was everything I needed and more!”


12. Victoria G.
“Tori has first hand experience as she has been around dogs and cats as well as other animals her whole life. She had the amazing experience assisting in the birth of her and her sister's childhood cats Dixie and Rebel. She is a very compassionate, caring and trustworthy individual. She would care for your pets as if they were her own.”


13. Michelle R.
“Michelle has been our pet sitter for several years. Not only do we love her for her kindness and compassion, but most importantly our dog, Mattie, adores her. Mattie runs to her when we get to her house like she’s a member of our family. We always know that Mattie is loved and cared for by Michelle the entire time we are away. She takes Mattie for long, leisurely walks, treats her like one of her own dogs, sends me numerous pictures of Mattie each day and gives us updates about how Mattie’s day has been. She’s truly a wonderful person and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitter care.”

16. Michel D.
About: I've always had a pet in my life—whether it’s cats, dogs, or even hermit crabs! My passion for animals is boundless; no matter the size or breed, I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. With an active lifestyle that includes long walks and spirited games of fetch, I ensure that each pet gets the exercise and attention they need to thrive. I look forward to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your cherished companion. Due to recent governmental changes, my schedule is now wide open! As a father of two, I have plenty of time throughout the day to care for your furbaby—from morning walks to midday play and evening adventures. Let's chat about your pet's needs! I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs at home. I live nearby several parks, including a large dog park that I frequently bring my own dogs to.




17. Blaire G.
“Blaire is excellent with animals. She is an animal lover and has had several pets herself. She is affectionate, calm, and gentle. She is great with both our dogs—a golden retriever and cockapoo. They love her too. She gives them great attention and enjoys taking them for walks and playing with them in the yard. We are thrilled to have her watch over our pets and are confident in the car she gives while we are away. Our boys are both so happy after time with Blaire. I would highly recommend her to care for your special pet!”


18. Kaye B.
“Kaye helped us with our dog when we went on vacation during the summer. She was super nice with Him, he is a covid dog, so he is friendly but very much used to our family. Kaye sent us pictures and videos of him during the time she took care of him. Kodiak still gets very happy when he sees her. I would use Kaye again to take care of him and our new dog any time without a doubt!”
