“Chloe was amazing! Seri (dog) really enjoyed her time there. She was able to play with the cat and dog, and I can tell she didn’t want to leave. Don’t know what that says about me lol either way, I highly recommend Chloe for your pet boarding needs!!”
“Let me save you some time...if you need a cat sitter and Rita is available, do yourself a favor and just reserve her services. She took care of my cat, Simba, for almost a week, and the whole experience felt like dropping him off at a family member’s that I could trust. Ditto other reviews, Rita’s communication was top notch – pro-actively providing health and status updates and sharing fun pictures/videos at least few times a day. It's very obvious she has a genuine affection for pets. She also exercised a lot of patience approaching and gaining my cat’s trust as he’s very skittish especially in a new environment. Her distinctive ability to read my cat’s body language ensured that Simba was always within his comfort zone (literally the cat whisperer!!) Additionally, her set up’s great with a separate room in her apartment that provided Simba with privacy and alone time that all cats need. Could not recommend her enough for cat sitting!! Gut feel her rates are very fair for the quality of professional service she provides. I’d almost rather drop my cat off with her than family as I can rest easy knowing he’ll be in good hands. Thanks Rita!”
“Christian and his family are truly amazing! I left Murphy with them for the second time, and he felt right at home—he ran right in without hesitation. That made me so happy. I received picture updates throughout the weekend, which was perfect. They treated Murphy like he was their own dog, and I can't thank them enough. I really appreciate it!”
“We left our little girl Violet, a very loved 5 yo Lhasa Apso, in the care of Sandra and San this past weekend. From the moment Sandra and I met, I could see how loving and caring she was for her own adorable pup, Penny. We did a meet and greet and Violet and Penny got along beautifully! We knew Violet would be in good hands. Throughout the weekend, we received pictures and we could see just how comfortable and happy Violet was! When it was pickup time, all her belongings were together and packed for home. We felt comfortable, confident and excited to find a place we can trust for Violet when she can’t be with us! We highly recommend Sandra and San! Your pups will thank you for it too!”
“Christina and Nick were great with Ollie. They updated us with photos regularly and felt very comfortable with Ollie being there. They also graciously did a meet and greet beforehand as Ollie can be selective with new people. Definitely will be booking again!”
“I have nothing but good things to say about Ms. Maisha. My dog loved her from the first drop off. She sent picture updates daily. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“Janise was amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Chiara. She was very attentive, kind, and made sure Chiara felt comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated that she sent photos and videos every single day — it gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked her up, Chiara looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We would definitely book with Janise again and highly recommend her!”
“We appreciated the pictures and updates on how buddy was doing. Amanda definitely loves animals. We knew from the first time she met buddy and Amanda bent down to take buddy's face in her hands and pet her. Buddy looked very comfortable in the pictures she sent us. You were great Amanda.”
“Christina took wonderful care of my pet, Koffee, for the day. Koffee can be a little nervous at first, but he warmed up quickly thanks to the patient, gentle attention he received. I really appreciate the regular updates and photos—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Christina and contact her for any needs in the future.”
“Kody had the best time. The family was absolutely amazing with Kody. He had the best time and made lots of new friends and was well taken care of. Received tons of pictures and videos of Kody's new adventures. Thank you so much, we will definitely be booking again with this family.”
“Sanaz was great with my dog Whitney! She was super flexible and communicative while I was away. I had no doubt that my pup was in great care the whole time. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Laura, Dan & their adorable boys took great care of my 2 labs over the weekend! They were very easy to work with and flexible to meet my needs when arrival time changed. Thank you so much! 💕”
“We had such a great experience with Suzie. She took amazing care of our dog, Buzzy, while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and reassuring. She sent updates and photos about how he was doing, which really put us at ease. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”
“I can’t recommend them enough! We were nervous to leave Elsa with anyone, but they were wonderful and treated her like family. The frequent updates kept our minds completely at ease. They were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“I am one satisfied customer. Ryan took excellent care of my dog for one week. He stayed in contact with me for the duration of the week via text and emails. Ryan sent several pictures not to mention asking questions pertaining to my dogs needs. He is an excellent dog sitter. Trust me when I tell you booking him is a fantastic choice!!!”
“Christine was such a fantastic caretaker for our miniature schnauzer! Her two dogs were friendly and kept him busy all week and they looked like they had a lot of fun. I was sent plenty of fun pics and videos throughout my time away. Would definitely book again!”
“Teresa was absolutely wonderful, we are so grateful that we found her! We actually found her very last minute and she was wonderful, kind, super accommodating, and so wonderful to our dog!

“Christina was incredible with my cat! She was very thorough, caring, and treated my cat as if she were her own. Christina went above and beyond, even spending extra time with her most days. She also made sure my apartment stayed clean and provided constant pictures and feedback. I felt so grateful knowing that my cat was in such great care while I was very far away. When I returned, my cat was very calm and happy, which shows she remained relaxed while I was away!”
“Victoria watched our anxious eight-year-old cat for a week. Every day, we looked forward to receiving cute pictures and a description of the visit. When we returned, our cat was noticeably happier and healthier than he has been after visits from previous pet sitters. Victoria gave our pet plenty of love and attention. You can tell that she really cares about the animals she pet sits.”
“Jinghong is a fantastic caregiver! We just returned from our trip and found 3 happy, well-cared-for cats. She kept us well-informed and took excellent care of our kitties. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ cats while they go on vacation before. I’ve done this for a few years previous to my South America trip. I have fed and played with them while doing drop visits.
About: I have experience caring for cats through pet-sitting for friends, family, and family friends. I'm comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and following each cat's individual routine. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and strive to provide patient, loving, and reliable care while keeping them comfortable in their home environment.

“Caitlin took great care of my 2 cats for a week! She was on time, followed their instructions well, and sent nice summaries. One of my cats is very skittish and she came out to eat and hang out when Caitlin was there. Caitlin spent solid time with them which is very appreciated. Thank you for the peace of mind!!”
“Anna has been watching my puppy a few times a week since she was about 4 months old and my puppy always has the best time. Anna is very thorough and follows all of my instructions regarding my dog’s care. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Tez is reliable as always and pretty much the only person I trust with my cats. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail she puts into everything — my cats can be messy sometimes, and she’ll even help sweep up scattered litter or take care of little things like resetting the lockbox on my door back to zero before she leaves. It’s such a small thing, but it really reflects how thoughtful and thorough she is. I always have peace of mind knowing my cats are in her care.”
“We booked Baris because of all the glowing reviews and we totally understand why. Our cats loved him! One doesn't warm up to strangers easily but Baris won her over quickly. Our cats also had complicated feeding instructions but Baris was able to follow all of them closely. We got maybe 10 photos per visit and it was super reassuring to see the cats doing well. Will definitely book again.”
“Luna was an incredible pet sitter! She went above and beyond to take good care of our cat while we were away, and she even brought along new toys for the cat to play with. We look forward to working with Luna again soon and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

She pays great attention to detail and makes sure everything is done properly. I feel completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog with her — highly recommended!”
“My fiancé and I have never taken our dog to a dog sitter before. It was our first time leaving our Sasha girl with someone other than a family member, and we were so nervous to use this app, but Rocío has definitely changed our minds. Rocío was so sweet, gentle and patient with Sasha upon meeting her for the first time. She kept us updated throughout the day with pictures of Sasha playing in the yard, which put our minds at ease. The constant communication and updates gave us the reassurance that Sasha was in good hands. When I picked her up, I can tell that Sasha wasn’t anxious to see me or leave, like she normally is when we leave her alone for a few hours. Rocío said Sasha did really well for her it being her first time with a dog sitter and it filled my heart. Rocío and her family are so nice and welcoming. You can tell they have a genuine love for animals. We will definitely be using this service again! Thank you so much for everything!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I've spent time and cared for several dogs as well and would gladly care for yours while you are away. I've had a lot of good experiences with them - I’m good pals with my landlady's pitbull and my dad’s chocolate lab! I’ll give your dog lots of attention and be mindful of their personality, especially during walks. I’ve had some anxious ones that can get a bit testy when they see other dogs during walks and I’ve handled them well. I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can swap my shift if need be to provide your pet with the care it needs. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have rescued my dogs while traveling through South America since 2022 and have been taking care of them. The old one is 5 yrs old and the second one is 2yrs old. I work remotely so I spend all day with my dogs except for when I have to run errands. This is why I can fit drop visits and walks throughout the day since I work from home. I have a fenced backyard if dogs need to play outside but also if they need to stay in a crate I can help with that. I have experience with walking small- large dogs.
“This was my first time using Rover or any dog walking service, let alone have anyone aside from myself, dad, or brother take care of my pup. And I have ZERO regrets. My dad was supposed to stay with my dog for the long weekend I was away, but last minute he couldn’t and I needed a plan B. I came to Rover to see if I could find a solution and I did- Peter! My pup is very lovable but also not easy, and many are too scared or just don’t want to deal with him. Because of that, I wanted to do a meet and greet first, which Peter happily agreed to. After just one visit, I knew that not only could he handle my dog and he would be well-taken care of, but knew they both were about to become buds. I was able to go away and not have any worries, especially since Peter gave very thorough recaps of his visits and pictures. Needless to say, my heart and mind were put at ease and I can’t think him enough for that. I will definitely be utilizing his services in the future and I know Thor will not mind at all.”

“Let me save you some time...if you need a cat sitter and Rita is available, do yourself a favor and just reserve her services. She took care of my cat, Simba, for almost a week, and the whole experience felt like dropping him off at a family member’s that I could trust. Ditto other reviews, Rita’s communication was top notch – pro-actively providing health and status updates and sharing fun pictures/videos at least few times a day. It's very obvious she has a genuine affection for pets. She also exercised a lot of patience approaching and gaining my cat’s trust as he’s very skittish especially in a new environment. Her distinctive ability to read my cat’s body language ensured that Simba was always within his comfort zone (literally the cat whisperer!!) Additionally, her set up’s great with a separate room in her apartment that provided Simba with privacy and alone time that all cats need. Could not recommend her enough for cat sitting!! Gut feel her rates are very fair for the quality of professional service she provides. I’d almost rather drop my cat off with her than family as I can rest easy knowing he’ll be in good hands. Thanks Rita!”

“I can’t recommend them enough! We were nervous to leave Elsa with anyone, but they were wonderful and treated her like family. The frequent updates kept our minds completely at ease. They were absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“My dog loves going to Gargi and Sourav’s. She instantly felt at home there and loved playing with Archie, today. I’ve never seen her get comfortable so quickly!”
“Each time we leave Nutmeg in Euitae’s hands we know she will receive the best care and love. She loves staying there and her walks in the park, and we love the photos, communication and updates.”
“So happy we found Kathy and Ben to watch our Jeffrey! They were thoughtful about ensuring he had food, water, plenty of walks and play, and we got photos and videos throughout the day. We will definitely be going back and are so happy we found such great people to take care of our dog. We also got a special note about Jeffrey’s stay, which was so sweet to read ?”
“Amazing experience with Mimi’s dog sitter! They were caring, reliable, and kept us updated the whole time. Mimi was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Orso had a wonderful time with Caitlin and Georgia! Usually when we pick him up from a sitter he jumps right into our car but this time he tried to go back in with Caitlin. She took exceptional care of him, ensuring he got exercise, was well fed, brushed, played and stayed cool. We feel very comfortable knowing our boy will be in good hands when we go away later this summer!”
“We picked up our large malamute Junie and she was the calmest we had seen her, clearly very happy. Communication with Anton was very easy and he sent several pictures throughout the stay. Will book again!”
“Our Paris had a grand old time at Miss Karla’s. She played, took walks, explored, was well taken cared of and I got reports daily on Paris’s daily activities. I recommend Miss Karla one hundred percent!”
“Amarys was amazing with my dog, Diamond! She took such great care of her, played with her, took her on lots of walks, and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Diamond was. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Diamond absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Amarys again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“We've trusted them with our dog Rosie for every boarding stay, and the care has always been exceptional. Our puppy is always happy, well looked after, and excited to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable place for their furry pet.”
“This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!”
“Michael did an amazing job taking care of our pup while we were away for an extended period of time! He sent regular pics and made sure our usual routine was stuck to! Would definitely rebook with him! 10/10”
