“I highly recommend Olga. She truly loves our dog. She gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”

“Paige was wonderful! She kept me regularly updated on how my cats were doing and truly cared for their well-being. She was attentive and proactive!

My cats are usually very shy, but Paige was so gentle and patient that she managed to earn their trust.”

“Karina is truly the ultimate cat lover. She sent pics and videos of the love of my life while I was out of town. She’s kept me up to date and I know she loved on my Gavriel as much as I would if I were at home. Made me feel at peace knowing he was cared for in such a great way!”
“Anna provided such great care for my cat Henrik; they bonded quickly; Henrik began greeting her each day with a series of meows. Anna kept me fed and provided him fresh water as well as some needed attention. She also kept the faucet running a little in my apartment to prevent freezing during our cold snap. She did such a great job that I'm already booking her for my next outing.”
“This is the second time I’ve had Lisa watch my cat and she did a great job again. Very attentive to detail and makes sure my cat is entertained and happy before she leaves. Will continue to book with her!”
“Liz has been caring for our elderly dog for the past 21 months . She is 100% reliable and trustworthy. She has become our dog's best friend. He originally was my parents dog and they both had passed away. We had decided to get involved with Rover to provide a visit to shorten his time alone while we were at work. Our dog was still grieving the loss of our parents when Liz became in involved. Within just a couple of visits we all noticed that his happy and spunky personality had returned. And that relationship has maintained throughout. He became more playful with his family and his outside high activity level returned. And I know he looks forward to her visits.Over the past few months he has developed an illness and Liz has been so nurturing , attentive and comforting to our dog . I could not go to work if Liz were not coming to see him. He looks so forward to Liz being with him for companionship and comfort from a caring friend. Her empathy is enormous for our dog and us. Liz has become a part of our family and we all feel we found a true rare gem.We are so very thankful to have found Liz.”
About: I spent my whole childhood begging for a cat and the second I had my own place I made sure I adopted one of my own. She has truly been my best friend and soulmate all in one and I didn’t know how much my life was lacking until I had a cat. Now I have 3! I have never met a cat that I didn’t love

“We’re so glad we found Nicole when we needed last-minute care for our pup — she was fantastic. Our dog warmed up to her instantly, had a great day, and the happy updates she sent throughout kept us from worrying. We’d definitely book her again!”
“Naomi & Johann took wonderful care of Javy. I made a last minute, same day request and they came thru. I knew immediately upon dropping Javy off that he would be in good hands. They introduced Javy to their dog, Milo, expertly and they were both affectionate with Javy right away. She sent photos and a video and I could tell Javy was very comfortable & happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: I have had cats, dogs, and fish for the past 15 years. I have boarded, walked, and sat many animals including the ones listed above. I have also done feedings and administering medications. I always like to get detailed notes and a walk through of the care you need so the pets are well taken care of throughout my time with them. **Drop offs after 8am and Pick ups before 8pm. Extra fees may apply if this time does not work for you** I am currently open to any times and days. I am in school and am doing it completely online and asynchronous. I can work with you separately to figure out the best schedule. I am always wanting a walk through and detailed sheet of paper describing schedules and everything I need to know. I will also send frequent updates including pictures. I have administered medications before and ask to be shown how to administer so they don’t miss a day.
“As a first-time dog daycare user, I was filled with worry, but Thea went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I'm confident that it was a wonderful experience for my dog, Chester, as well. It's hard to put into words how touching the experience was. I am so grateful to Thea, and I have no doubt about her love for dogs. As long as she's available, I will continue to entrust her with Chester.”
“Lee & the family were so wonderful! They sent a few photos with updates from daycare, had toys at home already, and gave my dog lots of good cuddles. Will definitely use again!”
“This is the first time we’ve had someone (who is not our family) watch our dog. I was very nervous especially be in Poppy is young - she’s just a year old. Noor watched Poppy for a day. Noor was so patient with her - poppy was initially apprehensive to go in their house, but Noor took her time to ensure Poppy was comfortable. Noor asked questions about feeding, walks, general behavior & preferences. this put me at ease knowing she was thinking these. We did this trial daycare in preparation for a longer stay for Poppy later this year. Noor was also very communicative with texts and also a video! We were happy with the care poppy received and plan to book with Noor again!”
“Julie was great! Her home is very dog friendly. She catered to Bitsy by letting her sleep on her lap. And, she sent adorable pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have a 5 year old lab mix that is my obsession. My close friends rely on my to watch their dogs when they go out of town. I work fully remote from my home where I have plenty of time to give love and attention to dogs. I take my pup out a few times through the day. I live in a townhome with plenty of space for your dog to feel comfortable. I have plenty of toys to play with. There is a dog park in my complex and there is a walking trail right near my place if your dog prefers a longer walk.
“Suzy was so great! Ginger will be excited to see her again! She and her dog, Zoe, were super sweet. What a treat. Zoe is was so mild mannered even in the midst of my excited, sometimes high strung, doggy. Suzy took time to meet and talk with me before Ginger began her stay, which was great. I can tell she's not only responsible, but loves dogs as well. I'm so glad to have another dog sitter I can rely on when I need someone for a vacation or long outing.”
“Teresa was amazing - Charlie came home so happy and sleepy from his fun day. She sent me pictures and kept me updated with how he was doing. We’ve already booked to use her again! Extremely easy to coordinate with, thanks so much!”
“Kazuhiro and Akemi were kind and loving to my dog. They sent pictures throughout the day. I appreciate their flexibility on the drop off time. I would use them again.”
“Amy and Lamar were awesome taking great care of my energetic GSP. Lots of photos and communication kept me in the loop all day. I came home with a tired pup which is the best indicator of a fun day!!!”

“Klara has been amazing to work with and we look forward to continue working with her. She visits regularly to give our dog a bathroom break. She is very patient and was willing to go through several meet and greets so our pup could get used to her. Great communication. Highly recommend!!”
About: Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted dogs to be a big part of my life. I begged my parents for one, but instead they had me start dog sitting to prove I was responsible enough. After many dog sleepovers, we finally welcomed Kirby into our family for my 12th birthday. Since then, I've helped care for him every chance I get—whether that's long walks through the prairie, playtime to keep him happy and engaged, or making sure he gets plenty of attention and cuddle time. Caring for Kirby taught me that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. When I'm caring for your pet, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm working part time 2-3 nights per week, and have some weekend obligations. Other than that, pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I am committed to provide reliable care! I will follow instructions on preferred routes, pacing, and more. I'll be paying close attention of surroundings in order to keep your dog safe! To assure peace of mind, I'll make it an intention to send updates after each adventure! When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention--my goal is to follow all care instructions as closely as possible. I also treat every client's home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“Karen was great. She took the time to meet Sadie and understand her needs. The two walks were just enough to satisfy Sadie and give me peace of mind that she was being well cared for. Thank you Karen!”
About: I’m a pre veterinary student, and I intern at an urgent care vet clinic, which gave me a lot of experience understanding important health signs, but also has taught me to be comfortable with dogs of all energy levels, personality, etc. Additionally, I am a dog walker at a local shelter. I’m comfortable giving meds, helping with senior pets, and making sure every pet feels safe and loved. Whether your pup needs playtime, slow walks, or just some good snuggles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently interning part time and well as volunteering at a local shelter, but I have lots of free time this summer!. I have time during the days for walks and check ins and am so eager to spend the time I have in the area helping where I can! I have a dog that absolutely loves playing! He is very small, but he gets along with dogs of all sizes and can play in my fenced in yard! Also very comfortable hanging with your pets in whatever home situation you have!
“Katrina is a great and reliable person to check in on your fur-babies! She is so great with animals and my dog truly loved seeing her. She always gave great updates. I appreciated Katrina’s time and am very thankful for her!”
About: I love dogs and cats! I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have two large-medium dogs and a cat in my family. I have dog sat many times for friends, family, and for those I was babysitting for. I’m currently not working since I am a college student on break! I have tons of free time and what better way to spend it than hanging out with dogs and cats! I am free everyday and at anytime! I accept last minute requests! I unfortunately cannot board your dog/cat at my home. At your home, I would carefully keep an eye on your pet, feed it, pet it, cuddle with it, let it out for potty breaks, and spend most of my day if not the whole day if needed with your pet!
“Stephen is an incredible dog sitter and walker! He is incredibly professional, caring and attentive. We loved getting photos of our dog after each visit - both action shots and close ups. We are grateful for Stephen's attention to detail, professionalism and care.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life, recently worked with animals as big as horses and cows, to chickens and ducks. Friends and family trust me with their animals! My schedule is currently free, weekdays and weekends and nights! I am willing to work holidays. I will also walk in any type of weather! I have a fenced in backyard, with 2 very friend dogs for yours to play with! I do have crates (if needed) and lots of treats!
“Arianna has been wonderful with Tilly, a clear communicator, sends updates and pictures and Tilly has been happy when coming back from walks with Arianna. Thank you Arianna!”
About: Hi! I’m Anji and I’m a huge animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs- and sometimes cats- of all kinds. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family for years, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy and attentive watching over your furry family. Since I also have a dog named Astro, I understand from a more protective perspective. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a play break, or just a snuggle session while you’re away, I’m here to help! I’m very comfortable with: • Daily feedings, treats & water refills 🍖 • Long walks or short potty breaks 🚶♀️ • Administering medications 💊 • Playtime and enrichment 🧸 I’m based locally and ride a bike everywhere, so I can get to your home reliably and quickly. Don’t worry if you are a bit far away from my local town, I can take transportation to make it easier for you! I treat every pet like my own with patience, kindness, and lots of love. Let me know how I can make your pet feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m excited to meet your furry companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I structure my days to make sure pets in my care get consistent attention, exercise, and affection, whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime. Since I’m often on my bike and working locally, I can easily adjust my route to stop in for walks, feedings, or overnight visits. Caring for animals brings me a sense of peace and purpose, so I make time for it just like I would for work, friends, or self-care. I also love building consistent routines with pets because I know how important it is for them to feel safe, secure, and well-loved while their humans are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. I follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible: from feeding times and walk schedules to preferred play styles and sleep spots. I respect your home like it’s my own, keeping things clean, quiet, and stress-free for both you and your pet. On top of pet-care, I can confidently say I can take care of your living accommodation as well. For drop-ins and walks, I give pets my full attention: making sure they get proper exercise, fresh water, and a little love before I leave. I also send photo updates and quick notes so you always know how your pet is doing. If I’m providing overnight care, I stay with your pet as much as possible, offering companionship and calm energy. I’m especially attentive at night and early morning when pets can feel most anxious in their owner’s absence. Overall, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home.
About: Hi, first a little bit of what I do: I am a digital media consultant and producer, working from home with a flexible schedule. Now for the animal lover in me: I grew up with animals and am comfortable with pets so if you have a cat and a dog, I am more than happy to be there for both of them. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, walking dogs, playing with cats so they aclimate to people as they prepare for adoption. Personally, I’ve had three cats and a dog since I was a kid. I know pets need love and care and when you are not able to, I can be a substitute to watch out for them and keep them feel safe and happy!
