“Maria has taken care of Taz on various occasions for extended stays, and the measure of how well she takes care of him is his excitement every time I take him to her house. Maria also kept us updated during his stays, sending pictures and reporting any issues on a daily basis.”
“My dog, Maggie, loves her time at Ming’s so much that we have to spell his name in our house! Otherwise she runs to the door and barks and whines in hopes of going to his place! He and his team are outstanding. Maggie is a very nervous dog but not at Ming’s!”
“Sarah was so accommodating and such a natural dog lover. She took our request for a 3-day stay at the last minute and made our big puppy feel right at home. Not only did she keep in great contact with me throughout my trip, but she also kept Suly active - taking him for long walks multiple times a day. I would HIGHLY recommend Sarah!”
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Shuli. We have been working with her for 3 years and our pup loves going to see her. We know she is in great hands when we are away.”

Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.”
“Daniel was fabulous!! Our dog, Penny, took to him really well and he shared photos/updates several times per day. He was very flexible and easygoing. I would totally rebook with him next time we are out of town!”

“Khadija was WONDERFUL. This was the longest we'd ever left the kitties and we were worried about how they'd react. She was so good with them. We returned to happy, healthy, lovingly cared-for kitty-cats thanks to her.”
“Ambar was amazing!! She was very responsive and attentive to our two kitties and did an excellent job keeping them fed, updating with anything she needed, and giving them affection they needed while I was away. She even went above and beyond to fix our litter robot when it wasn't functioning properly! Very highly recommend her :)”
“We came back and used Teffni again for our cats when we went out of town and she did a terrific job as always! In addition to checking on food, water, and litter, she made time to get the two cats (who don't always get along) to play and engage. She also checked our home for potential issues/messes during the visits, was communicative with us via text, and took some great visit pictures to share with us. We'll be reaching out for future pet needs for sure.”
“Ilana was wonderful to work with! She dropped in to care for our cat Loki while we were out of town and she took great care of him. She’s super responsive and communicative. We would definitely recommend her services if you are looking for someone reliable to care for your pets!”
“Nuha was absolutely wonderful with our cats! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well cared for. I’m usually very cautious about trusting someone with my fur babies, but Nuha was punctual, reliable, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care, and we would be so happy to work with her again.”
“I have had several sitters through Rover and Natalia is hands down my favorite. She is incredible with my girls ( a 6 yr old cat and 6 months old kitten). She's always thoughtful and sweet with them!”
“Great job watching our three cats! The communication was good and no issues at all. We had a video chat before the booking to walk through the cat’s care and other logistics. Overall, a very smooth experience. Would definitely book again.”
“Michael is a warm and caring cat-caregiver. He has taken great care with our two cats each time we have been away, and we’re more than happy to both use his services again and to recommend him to others looking for a pet caregiver!”
“Jana was my first experience with a rover sitter and I could not be more happy about it! She was really communicative about everything. She made a checklist for everything she needed to do for each visit and was really prepared. She also sent photo updates of my kitties and let me know every time she was with them. Jana also went above and beyond and made the kittens a toy for them to enjoy (so sweet!!) which really shows how much she cared about my kitties [and animals in general!] She took time to play with them and give them attention :) Jana made me feel so much better about having left my cats alone for a few days and I would book her again and I definitely recommend her services!”
“Rebecca did great with our cats! She was so patient and kind with our shy kitty who also needs medicine, and was able to troubleshoot administration when things didn't go exactly to plan. Our girls will be excited to see her again in the future ❤️”
“Drew is just downright amazing! Braved the winter storm to take care of our boys and went above and beyond as a sitter. Extremely responsive and friendly to us and the cats. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.”
“So appreciative of the care Ashley provided to our kitty while we were away. Our cat tends to get pretty stressed and upset when we’re away. Ashley kindly brought her treats and fun toys (including mazes with treats inside!) to keep our cat entertained and help try to keep her spirits up. Truly grateful to Ashley!”
“Joe was excellent with taking care of our cat on our 4 day long trip. He was punctual and diligent with his daily reports that always included detailed descriptions and great photos. When we came back home I could tell that she had been under great care and she may have even missed him. Wonderful job!”
“Abigail spent a good chunk of time with my cat and she seemed very comfortable! She was kind at the meet and greet and took notes to make sure she had all the information”
“Melissa was an absolute godsend. Our cats are extremely shy, yet Melissa took extra TLC to ensure they were fed, played with, and comfortable during our two week trip out of the country. I would not hesitate to book with Melissa again for our catsitting needs.”
“Linda was amazing and left such amazing photos of our kitty, and took such great care of him! She was incredibly attentive to his needs and responsive! Thank you, Linda for stopping by!!”
“It was our first time having Xin take care of our cat while we were away! She was super attentive and very communicative. she sent us many pictures after her visit and made sure she was taken care of. Our cat seems to have warmed up to her pretty quickly too and she can be a picky cat!”
“Cindy is AMAZING! She took such amazing care of my boys, and I will continue to book with her when I go out of town. She is someone who you can trust and my cats warmed up to her very quick!”
“Julianna was absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. They usually take awhile to warm up to strangers but Chestnut in particular came out to greet her every day and even Peanut (more shy) came down to see her. Julianna reached out to me before entering the house to make sure alarm was off and did a great job keeping me informed. Will definitely be using her again!”

“We were very apprehensive with our pup Theo cos he’s generally scared of new people and at times (though rarely) barks However Ming had no difficulty accommodating our pup and Theo had a full day with Ming. He played a lot and was very happy over there. Ming is very friendly, responsive with queries and is very accommodating . I would refer this place to anyone.”
“I was worried about dropping off my large, teenage, high maintenance Bernedoodle for day care, but he had a great time! Paul was responsive, professional, and sent us multiple update.”
“Natalia was a wonderful daycare mom for our pup. She made my pup feel safe and took him on great walks! She was also very accommodating of my schedule. I highly recommend her. We will definitely return to her in the future.”
“Mei regularly cares for my older dog Bear and she does a fantastic job. She takes him on walks and I feel confident that he will have a wonderful day in her care. I highly recommend Mei!”
“My dog can be fear reactive when meeting new people but this was not the case at our meet and greet with Joann - Hazel was very comfortable with her, and even put her paws on Joann in a manner that suggested to me she really liked her. When I dropped her off for day care I watched as Hazel sidled over to her and stayed calmly at her side as I departed. Joann’s home is spacious and clean, and her fenced in backyard is a great feature. Hazel seemed to truly enjoy her time with Joann and we will certainly return for future care needs.”
“Chuy seemed to have a wonderful time at his evening with Oyindamola! When I picked him up he looked so happy and said goodbye to her at least 3 times. 😊 She was very kind and helped him feel comfortable when he was a little nervous at first. I highly recommend!”
“I was very, very happy with the care given to my dog by Sasha. The check-in/check-out process was very easy. Sasha sent several pictures throughout the day, along with messages to let me know how my dog was doing. I could tell that my dog really enjoyed herself at Sasha's as she was still in high spirit when I picked her up. My dog also went to bed a little earlier than usual, which told me that she was pretty active during her stay. I plan on using Sasha again in the very near future, and highly recommend her services!”
“Josh and Andres took such amazing care of our Dachshund, Skye. They sent regular pictures and updates throughout the day. Will 100% book Skye in with them again- thank you”
“Love how Maria and Furnando took care of my pup . He was very happy there and they keep me informed very 2 hours abt his whereabouts and how is he doing . They are very accommodating for everything . My family was very happy leaving out pup there .”
About: As a child, I grew up in a household with multiple dogs around at all times. I have cared for and trained dogs of all sizes. My fiance and I would love to be around more dogs as we aren’t able to have one of our own yet! We only have experience with dogs at this time but we welcome cats as well! My boyfriend and I work from home during the week and are generally available to care on Friday and the weekend! We don’t have children so our schedules are very flexible. We are very attentive, affectionate, and responsive to the needs of our pets. We make sure to go on frequent walks and adventures around the park to remain an active and fun place for pets!
“I couldn’t be happier with Adi & Pat’s care for Louie! They communicate well and clearly, they asked good questions to make sure they’d cover all the bases for Louie’s care, and provided regular updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated. Louie came home happy and relaxed after his stay and knowing he had a comfortable time is great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for anyone looking for local sitters and I will certainly be rebooking for any future stays!”
“Supon was great with my little guy! It was my first time using Rover and he was great about agreeing to meet up so that we could meet prior to the stay. I got updates and awesome pictures all day which made me feel good that my little one was busy and enjoying himself.”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a previous dedicated dog owner ourselves (we recently lost our German shepherd) I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Your pet won’t just receive food, water, and walks, they’ll get attention, affection, playtime, and a comfortable home environment where they can feel safe and loved. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout your pet’s stay. My goal is simple: for your pet to have such a great time that they’re excited to come back for their next visit. I currently work from home full time and my husband and I are also generally home during the weekends as well! We have a ton of time to Pets in our home are treated like family. We follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks (as energy permits), playtime, medications, and any other special instructions. Whether your pet loves playing, exploring, or curling up for a nap, we make sure they receive the care and companionship they need while you’re away.

I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet loves to play, go on walks, cuddle, or simply relax in a quiet space, I’ll provide patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to them. My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daytime companionship, overnight care, walks, feeding, playtime, or medication, I can accommodate their routine and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I strive to be reliable, responsive, and flexible to meet both your schedule and your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs and cats can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive personalized care. I believe in open communication and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same love and respect I would give my own.

I know that every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I will definitely work with her in the future.”

She responded so quickly, was incredibly understanding of the situation, and immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the weekend she sent constant updates and pictures, which meant the world to us. She even stepped in to care for another pet I added last minute—without hesitation—and did it all with such care and professionalism. Truly, I could not have asked for anyone better. If you put your pets in her hands, you can trust they will be loved, safe, and so well taken care of. She was amazing, and I am beyond thankful for her help. I would absolutely love to book with her again in the future.”
