“Achara did a great job from the beginning to end! She responded to all of our messages in a timely manner and had no problem answering any of my questions. We are very particular about our fur babies and worry a lot whenever we leave them so it was nice to have someone who was willing to reassure us repeatedly. Achara made sure to let our 2 puppies meet her dogs through a baby gate to make sure everyone got along perfectly first which was great. Our dogs and hers got along great. She sent us lots of pictures everyday to show us how our puppies were having a great time and playing. She took them walking and made sure they got to stay active like they do at home. Pickup was easy and dogs were happy and safe which is what we love!! Very satisfied with the whole experience. We will definitely recommend Achara to friends and will be using her again!!”
“Martha was awesome! Very attentive and caring. Kept in contact to let me know how Angel was adjusting. And sent pictures which reassured me that she is definitely an animal lover 🩷🩷🩷”
“Nathaly was great! Mayu really enjoyed staying with her and her pup Stella! She misses Stella! I can't wait to have Nathaly watch Mayu again. She was very good at sending daily pictures of Mayu :)”
“Kazue was amazing! We left for a 7 day cruise with limited access to our phones. It was nice to come back to our phone with lots of pictures and updates about Potato. Being away from our dog for over a week, we knew he was in great care. Thank you!!”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“Grisel took great care of my pup. She was very communicative & always kept me updated with pics of my girl, made me feel at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Mila looks forward to her next visit with Grisel.”
“Sade was very sweet and patient. We really appreciate being able to go out of town and not worry about Nella being uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Would highly recommend Davis and his wife for pet sitting again. My Thor loved them and even my cat Venom who tends to hate men loved them as well! 😅 Already have another booking made to use Davis’ services again and will continue using them moving forward. I really enjoyed the daily updates while I was away. Also was very impressed by the living environment/cleanliness so I knew my babies would be properly taken care of. Thanks again and will see you both soon!”
“I really appreciated Jared. He sent tons of pics of my furry little family member. Love it. Kylie. I know enjoyed her stay with Jared. I so look forward to utilizing Jared again”
“Miya is simply the best! This was our puppy's first time staying with someone who wasn't family. Miya updated us with pics and notes to share how our pup was doing. She double checked all of our instructions. She even cleaned out our pup's eyes each day. She is thorough and thoughtful. She definitely loves dogs, and we will continue to go to her as much as possible!”
“Becky did an amazing job watching our Husky, Cleo. She constantly kept us updated on how Cleo was doing and sent a ton of pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Needed a last minute sitter for a week while we were away, and couldn’t be happier with Amanda! We have a really anxious dog but he settled in fairly quickly and had a playmate with Amanda’s daughter. In fact when picking Simon up, her daughter was carrying Simon … it was so sweet. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Amanda.”
“Matt was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, going above and beyond with our anxious Doberman puppy who struggled when we're away. He sent us detailed updates and photos every day, which was so reassuring - especially seeing them enjoy their daily walks together! His messages about their behavior and activities were super helpful, and we really appreciated how quickly he let us know about our pup's paw wound (which we already knew about). He truly understood how to handle our young Dobie's separation anxiety and kept both dogs happy and comfortable throughout their stay. His professional and attentive approach made what could have been a stressful time so much smoother for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“Roxy was great with our girls! Normally Hazel takes a little bit of time to warm up to strangers, and Koda does have a little bit of separation anxiety, but Roxy was able to get them to feel at ease right away!”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
“Amazing! This was my first time using Rover and they were awesome at making me feel comfortable with the updates. Very friendly and would use them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Chelsi was great with my little guy. She was very communicative and responsive. I could tell my dog enjoyed his time at her house. I would book Chelsi again without hesitation”

“As a first time rover user, I was worried about the process and my cat and home's safety. Jenna was amazing and totally worth the book of faith. She was prompt, communicated well, and even helped me navigate the app. 10/10, will book again!”
“Davis was super attentive to my cat, Muc! I received daily reports and photos of how Muc was doing. Davis treated Muc like his own. I really appreciated the attention to detail. Davis is definitely my go-to.”
About: I’ve lived with cats for 9 years total, including 6 years with my own — an older, sassy cat who’s both indoor and outdoor, so I understand the routines and boundaries that come with that kind of independence. I’ve also cat sat many times, mostly for larger breeds like Maine Coons, and I’m comfortable with cats who have strong personalities and don’t want to be babied. I follow whatever routine and boundaries your cat is used to, indoor, outdoor, or both.
“Payton was great! Very reliable and developed good rapport with my cat. She informed me when the cat was developing a rash on her neck. I will definitely have her back as schedules allow!”
“Kaitlyn eased my anxiety about leaving my furbaby for a few days. Kaitlyn was reliable and communicative. She was consistent with keeping me updating on how my cat was doing. I highly recommend Kailtyn!”
“Mindi did such a wonderful job of making sure my cat was well-cared for while I was gone. He gets really anxious when I’m away, and I could tell that she did a great job playing with him because he was calmer than normal once I came back. She also made sure he had water and a clean litter box everyday. I really recommend Mindi if you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet!”
“Outstanding pet sitters! They went above and beyond to care for my cats—ensuring fresh food and water, clean litter, and a clean environment. They gave the beasts plenty of love, attention, and brushing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets.”
“Even though my cat is a big cautious baby, Michelle always takes the time and effort to make sure he knows his family being away is only temporary! I always rebook!”
About: I've been caring for cats for most of my life and have helped care for 12 cats with a variety of personalities, ages, and energy levels - from kittens to senior cats! My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning and changing litter boxes, playtime, brushing (when welcomed!), and making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every cat is different—some love attention, while others prefer their space. I'm happy to adapt to each cat's personality and routine, whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm, dependable person caring for them while you're away. I'll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and well cared for!
“Holly is awesome! I was nervous leaving my guys behind because one of them is due for surgery very soon so there has been recent eating changes. It was crucial to have someone help me out with having Greysito eat. Holly was on top of it all for each visit! She sent sweet pictures of my guys playing, getting pets and simply being cute. I’m grateful to have her help me with them with feeding them, scooping the litter box and simply showing them love! I don’t travel often but Holly will be me go-to Rover sitter from now on! Thanks Holly!”
“I'm so grateful for Natalie caring for Winston. She was so wonderful with sharing pictures and providing daily updates. I so appreciated not worrying about my boy. He felt super loved too. I could tell when I got back that he wasn't as stressed as when I normally leave town. Thank you so much!!! I'll be in touch soon.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats, including both kittens and senior cats. I regularly cat sit for friends and family, providing reliable, attentive care while keeping cats comfortable in their own home. I work remotely, which allows me to spend more time at your home and be present with your cats throughout the day rather than just stopping in briefly. I focus on maintaining your cat’s routine, offering calm companionship, and providing regular updates so you can feel confident your cat is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
About: ur friendly neighborhood avid animal lover here to help you with your fur babies! as a former animal shelter employee and current animal hospital worker, I’m familiar with all different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages, breeds, demeanors and needs. I’m comfortable with young puppies to seniors, nervous/shy cats, those who need medication and anyone in between ☺️ I’m located right in the heart of the Mission District and work in Noe Vallley, so anywhere in those two areas are easy for me to access. I also have a car and can access further if need be! As someone who has seen plenty of emergency cases in my profession, I’m very specially aware within people’s homes of what may be considered safe or unsafe for your baby. Just let me know if I need to keep an extra eye on a specific room or piece of furniture in your room!
About: I’ve been around and caring for cats for most of my life and feel very comfortable with their different personalities and needs. I grew up with cats, including my family cat who is now 20 years old, and I’ve spent years caring for cats for friends and neighbors as well. I’m very attentive to their behavior and energy, and I understand the importance of giving cats both affection and space so they feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their environment.

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.
“My dog seems to enjoy the experience with this dog sitter! Great communication with pictures of him enjoying plenty of toys and a nice walk. Highly recommend for a fun and caring dog daycare service.”
“Grisel always treats my girl like real family. Always considerate and understanding, and has helped take the very best care of her. She always gets excited when we pull up because she knows she will be loved and have a good time. Highly recommend.”
“Happy I found Martha to take care of Niko. She responds in a timely manner & very flexible with my last minute requests. She ask all the important questions to assure she provides the best care for your fur-child. My shy Niko and her sweet pup Misty got along really well hanging out for the first time. Niko enjoyed his stay with Martha & her family!”
“Becky is the best dog sitter ever. She takes such good care of my dog Charlie, she’s very reliable and the best dog photographer. I know my dog is safe and happy when he’s with her. Thank you again!”
“Wunna was amazing! The moment our dog, Shadow, met him, they got along and Shadow trusted him immediately. He was flexible and accommodating of our schedule. He responded to our messages quickly too, which we really appreciated.”
About: I am returning to Rover after a long hiatus while pursuing my PhD. Before my beloved Stella (black pitty) passed away, we had a wonderful time dog-sitting for clients. After many years of grief and a very, very busy life in my doctoral program, I have another doggy companion, Bruce. We enjoy working from home together and are excited to care for your pets! Training my boxer, Bruce, has been such a rewarding experience, and we hope to have the chance to help others on their journeys to build strong connections between handlers and their beloved companions. Working from home allows me to adapt to different needs and routines to stick as closely as possible with your pets current routine to give them a sense of familiarity. My boxer, Bruce, knows when it is time for his meals, bedtime, or when I need to step out to run errands for the day. I intend to do the same by adapting to your pet's routine so they feel at ease.
“We needed a dog sitter for just a few hours and used Matt. He was great and his wife. They took care of Ranger at their home. Great communication and flexibility. Highly recommend.”
“Heath Bar didn’t make it easy - he barked the entire time at Danielle’s unless she was there with him, I k ew he had separation anxiety but the only time it presented for the last several years was while he was alone in the car. His being alone in the house was not a problem for him. My take away is to be certain someone will be at home with him for most of the time he will be in someone else’s care. Danielle was very responsive and kept me informed the day Heath was in her care.”
“Omega had a wonderful, long day staying with Lisa and Brett for the first time. I appreciate their flexibility and great care they provided him. Free runs in the back yard and lots of walks.”
“Cedric was amazing!!! Hands down the best doggy care one could ask for. He consistently kept me updated about what they had done for the day. Thank you again Cedric!!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Miya. We really felt very warm when we met her the first time and when our dog was with her for a day, it was his first time at a daycare. She sent us photos and videos every few hours and our dog seemed to have enjoyed a lot. We would definitely recommend Miya and she will be our go-to sitter for sure. 5 stars. Thank you Miya for taking care of Koja and we are thankful we found you.”
“I highly recommend Joel! My old girl was calm and happy after her day stay. Extremely considerate of Lola’s needs. She’s a picky pup and can be stressed by strangers, but not with Joel. Didn’t have to worry about her safety or well-being. A great help and huge relief.”
About: Nothing is more important to me than the health and safety of your family. Safety being most important, my next concern is that your dog has a positive and rewarding experience in any environment they find themselves. I train dogs. My walk price reflects that experience and value I add to your dog’s experiential learning. My core philosophy is that all learning be a positive incentive based experience for the dog. Boarding rates do not include dog training. Dogs in my care receive structure throughout their day including structured playtime, walks, training, and enrichment consistent with the needs of the client. Each dog is an individual, and I welcome a discussion to find out how I can best serve your dog’s individual needs! My demonstration dog is a 1.5 y/o Malinois Husky. He is stable with all dog breeds and sizes. I work him as a sport dog but he is built to be a companion dog. Dogs in B&T may be crated or in an exclusion room for compression and decompression when not actively being trained or exercised. They will also receive structured play and walks consistent with their individual goals.

“Brittany is amazing! For one, she is very flexible and has been a life saver with squeezing in last minute walks for my dog, Frosty 🐾 but most importantly I can tell Frosty genuinely has a great time with Brittany. Nothing better than receiving photo updates of Frosty and seeing that he is happy and comfortable around Brittany 😊”
About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years, but my real training started with my own dog Haku. He has taught me patience, routine, and how to understand different dog personalities. I am used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable. Haku is friendly with children, other dogs, and cats, so I understand the importance of proper introductions and calm environments. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I work from home, so I get to spend most of my day around dogs. I’m available for boarding on weekends and flexible during weekdays. Your pup will have company, regular walks, and a steady routine instead of being left alone all day. Dogs can sense calm energy, and I bring that into my home. I keep things structured but relaxed. I respect each dog’s personality and never force interactions. Haku runs quality control and makes sure every guest feels welcome.
“Payton was lovely with our girls! I really appreciated her calm demeanor and getting updates from her about the pups on their walks. I would definitely ask Payton to help us out again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Mel. I’ve had dogs in my life for over 30 years — growing up with Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, and Labs, and later caring for high-energy breeds like Huskies, Malamutes, Pit Bulls, and Dobermans as an adult. I’m comfortable with big dogs, strong pullers, and dogs who need real exercise, but I’m just as happy with a Chihuahua curled up on the couch. I spent 8 years as a nanny, so looking after something that depends on you completely isn’t new to me — it’s second nature. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. I don’t board dogs in my own home, since I have a resident cat (a very opinionated tabby mix), but I’m experienced with cats too, including Maine Coons and other long-haired breeds, if you need a sitter for feline friends as well. I’ve handled the less glamorous parts of the job without blinking: medication schedules, backyard cleanup, even a dog who met a skunk face-first. My standard for every visit is simple — when you get home, your house should look better than when you left it, and your dog should be fed, exercised, and ready to sleep well. I treat your home and your animal the way I’d want mine treated. I’m self-employed, so my schedule is flexible and mostly built around dog care. I’m generally available 8am–6pm on weekdays, with some days running later. In the summer heat, I keep an eye on pavement temperature and adjust walk times so it’s safe on paws — sometimes that means earlier or later in the day rather than midday. Weekends are available with advance scheduling. I’m also happy to do drop-in visits spaced out over the day or across longer periods if that suits your dog’s routine better than a single visit. Since I don’t board dogs in my own home — I have a resident cat — all my care happens in your space, on your dog’s normal turf, which tends to be less stressful for them than an unfamiliar house. I follow whatever routine you set: meals, meds, walks, exercise. I’m comfortable administering medication, cleaning up after accidents or messes, and handling anything that comes up — I’ve dealt with a dog getting skunked, dogs with high energy who need real exercise, and the everyday logistics of keeping a home running while you’re away. My rule for every visit: your house should look better than when you left it, and your dog should be fed, exercised, and settled by the time you get home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pet with the same love and care you do. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering routines, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. Caring for my own dog has also taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize when a dog needs extra space or a calmer approach. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. My availability is flexible, and I’m happy to accommodate your pup’s preferred walking times, whether they need morning exercise, midday breaks, or evening strolls. As a dog mom, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I provide patient, attentive walks focused on safety and happiness.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I got my first pet at 11, my lovely dog mocha, and have been taking care of animals ever since. I enjoy observing and playing with almost any animal no matter size or species. I have lots of experience taking care of injured animals as more often than not I took in these types of animals growing up and even now! I have spent countless times bottle feeding baby animals as well as performing other duties a parent animal would do. Currently I am unemployed, just looking for something fun and entertaining to do while I job hunt. I plan to continue after getting a job if things work out. I am free most days of the week, the only uncertain day is Tuesday. I have two animals currently, a leopard gecko and a Bombay cat. As two wildly different animals they both have special needs I attend. My cat, jiji, is disabled and requires me to be a bit more careful than you would need to be with a cat. She has no tail but a big attitude! Beam, gecko, is about 5 years old. I adopted him from a friend who would be unable to care for him. Leopard geckos can reach 15 years old and require quite a bit attention as they are sensitive to most things. Beam is also incredibly sassy, despite only being three inches.
About: I have a 9 year old cat of my own, adopted her when she was a kitten! Throughout the years I have also taken care of the family pets (two cats and one dog). I love going for walks and I would often have our family dog tag along. I have experience in given oral medication to cats + following a medication/feeding schedule. I’m currently working full time, Monday-Friday, I’m available to care/walk cats or dogs in the evening during the week or any time during the weekend. I provide a loving environment to any animal I come across. I want them to feel safe and comfortable enough to trust that they know I am a friend!

About: What sets me apart is my experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I fostered puppies and adult dogs for four years, which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I also grew up with working dogs, so I am very comfortable handling high-energy breeds and understand the exercise, structure, and attention they require. Whether it's a playful puppy, an active working dog, or a senior pet needing extra patience and care, I adapt to each animal's individual needs. I am confident handling dogs on walks and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I am comfortable working with reactive dogs as well :) I am a full time student looking to fill my summer by taking care pets instead of adopting more! I have extremely open availability, whatever your pet needs Ill be there. I wholeheartedly understand the anxiety and stress that can come with leaving your pet in someone else's care, I have those same feelings when it comes to my own pets. Because of that, I will treat your pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same love, attention, and care that I would expect for my animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness, along with your peace of mind, are always my top priorities. While I am caring for your pet, I will be readily available by text or phone and happy to provide updates, photos, and videos to help you feel connected and reassured while you're away. 🐾
About: I’m a proud dog mom for over 6 years and have spent more than 10 years caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. With experience in both clinic and home settings, I tailor care to each pet’s unique needs. I love giving cuddles, playtime, and gentle patience to every furry friend. Since I work from home, your pets will get plenty of potty breaks, walks, and companionship. It’s like having a buddy around all day! To me, every pet is family, and I’m all about keeping them happy, safe, and totally loved. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I’m a dog mom, so I’m used to regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles. While I’m staying at your home, I’ll be nearby working on my laptop but always ready to give your pets attention, walks, and cuddles whenever they need. I adjust my care depending on each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra naps for seniors or lots of play for puppies. Taking care of pets isn’t just work for me, it’s something I really love and make part of every day. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat your space and fur babies like my own! I stick to their usual routines to keep things comfy and familiar. Lots of love, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles are guaranteed. It is all tailored to what your pet needs. I keep everything safe and tidy, and I’ll keep you in the loop with regular updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in great hands.
About: I have raised puppies, kitties and snakes. I trained my Staffy (who passed last year) in a Law Enforcement environment. So now, without her, I have so much love to give!! I work from home Mon, Thur & Fri, so I can do most days, nights and weekends. I am available to host over nights, or can accommodate special needs in your home as well. I have provided care of highly sensitive need animals, so I am vigilant about care. I have a fenced yard and my kitchen can be closed off for special needs. I am open to all of your pets care needs.
About: Hi! My name is Madi, I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a new puppy and a dog who is 5 years old. I am look for some more work on the weekends and would love to take your pets for a walk or check in! I have always had cats, dogs, hamsters, etc. I am reliable, kind and have only met like 2 dogs who didn’t like me. Let me know if I can help you out🧡 I currently work full time and can either help you out in the evening on week days or at any time on the weekends. I am always up early and can be available as needed. I will respect your house and space and especially your pets space. I want everyone to feel comfortable, but will make sure the job gets done well!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals at other homes since I was a kid: neighbors, teachers, family friends. I was raised by 2 cats, and my parents always encouraged us to pull our weight and help the community. People are often surprised their pets are so comfortable with me so quickly! I recently was hired to watch an anxious Jack Russel Terrier mix because the first time I met her she didn’t bark, sat in my lap, and wanted to lick me all evening, and I didn’t even have treats in my pocket! I’m navigating life with my first dog, currently learning about my new pupper and scheduling. I’m open to new clients in Greater Sacramento and short visits. I’m working with youth at a site currently. I often make dinner at home, but also like to explore the town or neighborhood I’m staying (let me know if you have a local favorite). A few nights a month I spend at ceramics, rock climbing, hiking and camping, or seeing live music. I find that each pet is completely different. I want to make them as comfortable as pawsible in their space: where do they like to spend their time, favorite toys, treats, activities, parks, and schedules. Tell me about your pets likes and dislikes! I watched 2 dogs, one loved playing fetch, but the other just wanted to hold her own ball and spin when I threw for the other dog. So cute haha!

“Achara did a great job from the beginning to end! She responded to all of our messages in a timely manner and had no problem answering any of my questions. We are very particular about our fur babies and worry a lot whenever we leave them so it was nice to have someone who was willing to reassure us repeatedly. Achara made sure to let our 2 puppies meet her dogs through a baby gate to make sure everyone got along perfectly first which was great. Our dogs and hers got along great. She sent us lots of pictures everyday to show us how our puppies were having a great time and playing. She took them walking and made sure they got to stay active like they do at home. Pickup was easy and dogs were happy and safe which is what we love!! Very satisfied with the whole experience. We will definitely recommend Achara to friends and will be using her again!!”
“Nathaly was great! Mayu really enjoyed staying with her and her pup Stella! She misses Stella! I can't wait to have Nathaly watch Mayu again. She was very good at sending daily pictures of Mayu :)”
“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
“Grisel took great care of my pup. She was very communicative & always kept me updated with pics of my girl, made me feel at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Mila looks forward to her next visit with Grisel.”
“Would highly recommend Davis and his wife for pet sitting again. My Thor loved them and even my cat Venom who tends to hate men loved them as well! 😅 Already have another booking made to use Davis’ services again and will continue using them moving forward. I really enjoyed the daily updates while I was away. Also was very impressed by the living environment/cleanliness so I knew my babies would be properly taken care of. Thanks again and will see you both soon!”
“Becky did an amazing job watching our Husky, Cleo. She constantly kept us updated on how Cleo was doing and sent a ton of pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her for dog sitting!”
“Needed a last minute sitter for a week while we were away, and couldn’t be happier with Amanda! We have a really anxious dog but he settled in fairly quickly and had a playmate with Amanda’s daughter. In fact when picking Simon up, her daughter was carrying Simon … it was so sweet. Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Amanda.”
“Matt was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, going above and beyond with our anxious Doberman puppy who struggled when we're away. He sent us detailed updates and photos every day, which was so reassuring - especially seeing them enjoy their daily walks together! His messages about their behavior and activities were super helpful, and we really appreciated how quickly he let us know about our pup's paw wound (which we already knew about). He truly understood how to handle our young Dobie's separation anxiety and kept both dogs happy and comfortable throughout their stay. His professional and attentive approach made what could have been a stressful time so much smoother for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“Roxy was great with our girls! Normally Hazel takes a little bit of time to warm up to strangers, and Koda does have a little bit of separation anxiety, but Roxy was able to get them to feel at ease right away!”
“My regular sitter had to back out at the last minute and I was stressing out, but I'm very grateful to Marc and Rachael for accepting my 3 fur kids at the last minute. They sent me updates and pictures everyday, and I could tell that my dogs were very well cared for. Their house was a great environment for my doggies, and they did a great job with dogsitting them for a whole week. Highly recommended!”
“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”
“Chelsi was great with my little guy. She was very communicative and responsive. I could tell my dog enjoyed his time at her house. I would book Chelsi again without hesitation”
“Michael is great with our dog. Very easy to schedule with, sends really cute pictures and takes lots of walks. Happy to book his services again and will continue to use him.”
“Mir and her family were great with Cookie. She did check in and let me know how cookie was doing over the 3 days and sent pictures. We will definitely use her again should Cookie need a sitter.”
“10/10 would recommend. Alexxa was very accommodating and a sweet sitter. I am very weary of this app, but my pup was in excellent hands. Absolutely would hire again.”
“I'm so grateful to Alexandra for looking after Peaches while we were away for the Fourth of July weekend. She accommodated our dog’s needs amid the Independence Day festivities, and I appreciate how well she was taken care of.”
