“Christina and her husband Nick were amazing! She had questions ready prior to the booking to insure the best care for my dog Marley, she sent me constant update and pictures, and made me feel super comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Christina again! Marley loved both of them and I’m sure he looks forward to seeing them again.”
“Kun is such an amazing and caring dog sitter! He keeps us updated with texts, photos and videos. Our dog LoLa is always so happy to visit Kun, his lovely wife and Som their doggy! Highly recommend and can’t wait until next time !”
“Paola was great with Marshie. She provided photos and updates regularly. She's very responsive. We had last minute changes and she accommodated our requests and we're so thankful for that. Marshie looks well taken care of. I highly recommend Paola and will contact her in the future.”
“Caring family who took our Obie in and treated him very well. Yesenia sent videos of Obie playing, making us feel good and confident that he was having a great time.”
About: I have years of experience in the caretaking of animals and I’ve always done it with love, my family and friends always trusted me to care for their pets since I was younger and i’ve always enjoyed it. I love every part of taking care of animals whether its grooming, bathing oral medications administration etc… Animals will always hold a special place in my heart. My schedule is very flexible, I usually stay home and do online school work most of the time, so I’m available really anytime on weekdays and sometimes on weekends. I will care for the pets by making sure they are well fed, kept clean and healthy. I live in a very safe neighborhood with a nice park down the street. I have an animal friendly household with fences outside to ensure that the pets wont wander off.
“Rhinesca made my first dog sitting experience wonderful. She had excellent communication & sent pictures daily. My Kobe fell in love with her on the first visit. I would definitely recommend her & I attended to use her again.”
“Teresa took very good care of my two dogs when my family and I went on vacation for 6 nights. She corresponded daily with photos, and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs were very happy staying with her and I will definitely reach out to her again for her services.”
“Keisy was great dog sitter and very flexible. Due to schedule changes, we were not able to pick her up in time and she was more than happy to watch her for another day. She sent videos/pictures updates and asked what we are ok with our dog doing like getting on the couch, where she sleeps etc. Would hire her again. Thanks!!”
“Sandra and San were absolutely exceptional with our dog, Luna. From the moment we met them, it was clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. They went above and beyond in every aspect of Luna’s care. Their attention to safety and protection gave us complete peace of mind, and they took the time to learn every detail of her routine—from her meal schedule to her individual needs and preferences. They even asked for our veterinarian’s name and contact information in advance, which showed how prepared and responsible they are in case of an emergency. Throughout Luna’s stay, we knew she was in loving, capable hands. The level of care, professionalism, and genuine affection they showed her exceeded all of our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Sandra and San more highly. If you’re looking for people who will care for your dog as if they were their own, look no further. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Luna—we will absolutely be booking with you again!!”
“Karla was great with Cooper and Lulu. Lulu is uneasy around strangers because she is deaf, but Karla was patient and gained Lulu’s trust. Karla sent us lots of pictures so we could see what they were up to while in her care. We will definitely reach out to Karla when we need a sitter again.”
“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside. It made it very easy to go away on vacation for the week knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely rebook in the future and would highly recommend.”
“This was my first time leaving Garci with someone. Enis made it easy and anxiety free by sending me lots of pictures of Garci looking relaxed and well-cared for. Thanks, Enis!”
“They were extremely accommodating with our pick up and drop off schedule. I have used river maybe five or six times in the past, and that last time I use them I had a very bad experience with poor communication and people were so polite and had a beautiful property and kept in constant communication with plenty of pictures and when it was time for me to pick up my dog, we had a lot of traffic and we’re over an hour late and they were happy to oblige. I will definitely leave my stellar with him anytime and I plan to leave her with them in the future anytime I need a sitter. They sent me lots of pictures. They even went as far as printing out some pictures for us, and they gave Stella a little bandanna like she would have when she left a groomer. They were very polite and had a great backyard, and my dog was very happy when I picked her up, so I know that they treated her well. They are definitely an A+ sitter. I highly recommend them and I have used the multiple times was good and bad and I had nothing but good things to say about them.”
“Elizabeth and Oleg took such great care of Maia! When I picked her up she was smiley, tired from all the playtime (Maia loves to play and they followed instructions), and so happy. They were so helpful and communicative, I’m already looking to book ahead for November.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”
“Xunzi was an excellent pet sitter. She watched my kitty Lily for 4 days and 1 unplanned day due to a cancelled flight. Xunzi sent lots of updates and kept Lily comfortable the entire time. She was friendly and obviously loved caring for animals.”
“Funda was amazing! I traveled for 3 days and didn’t worry about my dog once. She provided photos and updates throughout the day and Prince was very happy with her. She also has kids which made Prince even more excited, he loves playing with children. I will be utilizing her moving forward when I continue to go on business trips. Thanks so much for taking care of my dog Funda!”
“We were out of state for a week, and Gargi and Sourav went above and beyond to take care of our dog, Zeytin. They made sure she had a blast by taking her to the pond for swimming, which she absolutely loves, and spent time playing with her using sticks—her favorite activity. They kept us updated with little notes about how she was doing, which gave us such peace of mind. Zeytin came back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We’re so thankful for their kindness and fantastic care!”
“Excellent boarding parents! Jeff and Jenny are a well versed couple with dogs from the initial meet and greet thru pick up at the end of our booking. Smooth process thru the entire stay. Our gentle giant extremely needy labradoodle did great! They provided us with plenty of updates which included pictures and videos of his time with them. He was fortunate to have another doodle as a buddy during his stay. We will be glad to use Jeff and Jenny in the future for our boarding/care taking needs yet again!”

“Lillian was great with my cat Tyrion! She did drop-in visits and sent lots of photos and videos to let me know he was in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Christina is wonderful. I have used her for drop-in visits several times now. A few of those times have popped up pretty unexpectedly, and without much notice, and she has always been able to say yes when that has happened. I highly recommend her.”
“Thank you again for another amazing sitting! Andrew noticed that my cat's water fountain wasn't running properly. He went above and beyond, cleaning it out to get it running again. Andrew is always so great about giving my cat their oral medication. He also kept me updated when my cat wasn't feeling well. I always know my cats are in good hands when Andrew sits them.”
About: As a dedicated cat lover with years of pet care experience, I understand that cats thrive on routine, safety, and a gentle touch. I provide attentive drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s personality—refilling food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and ensuring they have enriching playtime and cuddles. Whether your cat needs a quiet observer or a fun companion, I’m committed to providing a calm, reliable presence—so you can have peace of mind knowing your kitty is in loving hands.
“I’d recommend Jinghong to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter! First time using Rover and she put our minds at ease sending multiple updates throughout the visit. Our cat Milo was very happy and we’d definitely book again!”
“Victoria was a wonderful cat sitter for our cats - she was attentive, responsible and went above and beyond! Our cats are very much attached to us, but they were in great spirits upon our return and didn’t seem to miss us at all 😂”
About: I’ve always loved cats as I have a feral cat. I genuinely enjoy spending time with cats of all personalities—from playful and social to shy and independent. I understand that every cat has their own routine and preferences, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles (if they allow them!), administering medication, or simply keeping them company, I treat every cat like they’re part of my own family. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
“I had an amazing experience with Morgan over the Christmas break. She took excellent care of my diabetic cat, ensuring he received his insulin and even administering UTI medication when we discovered he was had a mild UTI. Her attentiveness and care were exceptional, and I would absolutely use her services again!”
About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.
“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”
“Yaneira is great! She watched my kitty Sydney for over a week and did exactly what I asked for and more! I truly felt comfortable being on vacation knowing that Sydney was in Yaneira's hands. She is professional and loves animals, which was easy to tell from when she met Sydney. I will definitely be using Yaneira again the next time I need to go out of town. She is very responsible and committed :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.
About: My journey with caring for pets finally began in my undergraduate career at Rutgers University. Previously, I had helped to care for my aunts pets and took care of my own until we had to give him away. My favorite thing about taking care of your favorite family member is how I can see them adapt to a new environment and warm up to me. It’s beautiful to know that we can all connect w animals in an intimate way. I have a park right next to my house and a wooded area & fenced field where they can run around freely. Making sure they are having a good time and are healthy is my main priority. Dog loving is what I was made for.
“Enis went above and beyond. He was completely reliable and very generous with his time. He had a natural rapport with my cat and I would absolutely use his services again. Thanks, Enis! :)”
“I cannot recommend Leticia enough! It was evident that she has a genuine love for animals. She spent time with Ollie and Rain and made sure to follow my care instructions perfectly. I received regular updates and adorable photos that put my mind at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail were impressive, and I truly felt that my pets were in the best hands. I will definitely be using their services again in the future! If you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter, look no further!”
“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Luli. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and super easy to communicate with. Luli can be a little reserved around new people, but she warmed up to Amelia almost right away. Amelia sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos. It was clear she wasn’t just doing the basics but was actually spending quality time with Luli, making sure she was comfortable, well-fed, and had her usual little routines. I came home and Luli was relaxed and happy and the apartment was clean. I’Il definitely be reaching out to Amelia again next time I’m away. Highly, highly recommend!!”
“Hi Jess You did an amazing job with Gracie despite her reluctancy to make friends. We were able to enjoy some days with family worry free thanks to You!!Great experience. Jess definitely has a talent for photography. I loved all the pictures she posted and saved them all. Top notch service!”

“We had a last minute booking due to an unexpected situation and we were desperately in need of a babysitter for our little guy. Karla was extremely responsive, friendly, and caring. My little guy just walked right in to her home as if he knew her all his life. He looked so happy when I picked him up. I will definitely recommend Karla and will be using her services again.”
“My puppy Sonic and I are so lucky to have found someone as reliable and trustworthy as Evelyn. I got many videos of Sonic throughout the day and he was just having a blast. I will be booking again. Thank you Evelyn !”
“Zuleyka took Blue in for 8 days. She was very flexible with the reservation since I confirmed almost last minute. There was not one day without many updates and pictures, and she also bathed Blue as he got dirty. Zuleyka was very professional and friendly since the beginning to end, not to mention that Blue was not behaving too good at first and she was still ok with him and communicating all Blue’s needs and moods as he was sad without us. I could see how his fave changed to a quick “Happy” a couple of days later. I would definitely book Zuleyka again in the future.”
“If you’re looking for an excellent experience for your dog when daycare is needed, Enis simply knocks it out of the park! My dog usually has an “inspection” phase when meeting his care taker initially, but with Enis, he was instantly at ease and was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Very impressed and I will definitely contact Enis again in the future.”

About: Hello!! I’m Zainab, an owner of 2 silly cats and I would love to take care of your furry loved one! Spending time with pets genuinely makes me happy and it shows in the type of care I give them. Finding the appropriate pet care is just as stressful as finding the right care for your human child. A few of my qualities like being patient, reliable, and responsible can help ease your mind especially when you are far away from your pet. I will always stay in touch and give regular check-ins with a photo of your pet so you can see how they are doing. Yours and your pets comfort is my priority. I’m there to make your pet feel safe, loved and cared for no matter what their big personality brings. They can be shy, energetic, cuddly or even a bit stubborn. I’ve taken care of friends and family’s dogs and I care for my 2 cats including one of my cats that needs his daily oral allergy medication. I’d love to meet you and your furry best friend!

I try my best to keep up with your pets same schedule and routine so they do not feel lonely or stressed without their human their. And of course there will be extra attention and play time going around.
“I went abroad and needed someone to check on my dog and give him some extra love while he stayed with my dad. Erica was amazing and went above and beyond my expectations! She sent several photos of him, which were the highlight of my day while I was missing him so much. I would absolutely recommend her and will use her next time we go away!”

“Amelia was absolutely wonderful with Bishop! She was available on very short notice, which was such a huge help, and she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was caring, dependable, and kept us updated, giving us peace of mind knowing Bishop was happy and well looked after. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. We are so thankful for her flexibility, kindness, and excellent care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Amelia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog walker!”
“Jing was amazing. She sent a lot of updates and photos which helped me feel comfortable leaving my pups while I was at work during the day. They were happy and well taken care of when I got home!”
“I have to start saying I’ve never hired a dog walker before, it was hard to trust someone else to take care of my pup. I had to find someone urgently a couple of days ago and Lillian was super accommodating with her needs and our requests. She was able to go to our place right away and kept us posted on every step of the way. She seemed pretty nice and I wanted to meet her as we’ll need more help with our pup in the future. We met a couple of days after and I have to say she was super sweet and loving towards my pup. I was happy she remembered all the things I told her about our dog. She even walked to the park and stayed with us for a while. She made it easier for me to trust in this apps. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.
About: Hey! I’m an animal lover based in Seattle, offering boarding, house sitting, doggy day care, drop-ins, and walks. I love small and midsize dogs and cats who just want some real one-on-one attention — and cats have a special place in my heart, I’ve done cat sitting many times and love it. 🏡 Boarding — Your pup stays with me at my place, which has a fully fenced yard, so lots of safe outdoor time and zoomies included. I’m happy to host dogs who are cool hanging out with other dogs too — I keep it small and match personalities so everyone gets along. Feeding, walks, playtime, fresh water, and photo updates the whole stay. ☀️ Doggy day care — I work from home, so I’m around and available all day for drop-off and pick-up whenever fits your schedule. Your dog gets playtime, fresh air in the fenced yard, and good company (mine and other pups’, if they’re social) the whole time they’re with me. 🏠 House sitting — I come stay at your place so your pet doesn’t have to leave their bed, routine, or home. Feeding, walks, play, litter, fresh water, and I’ll keep things looking lived-in while you’re away. One household at a time — no juggling multiple homes. 🚪 Drop-in visits — Quick feeding, water, litter, potty breaks, and some play, with photos every visit so you know all is well. 🐕 Dog walks — Walks paced to your dog — chill senior strolls or a good brisk outing, whatever they’re into. 😺 Cat care — Cats are honestly my favorite. I’ve cat sat many times and know how to earn their trust — quiet, patient, on their terms. Litter, feeding, play, and lots of good company. Why me: calm, attentive, work from home so I’m flexible all day, love dogs and especially cats (lots of cat sitting experience), fenced yard for boarding and daycare, totally fine with multi-dog households, easy to reach, and comfortable with senior or special-needs pets. Hours: 8AM–10PM. I am available for dog boarding, dog day care, dog walking and house-sitting for cats and dogs during the week, at weekends and holidays. And I will be thrilled to take a good care of all dogs and cats. Cheers! I love dogs and cats. I offer dog walks and cat feeding services now in the neighborhood. I can also do Housesitting during the week and weekends.
About: Open, adaptable daytime schedule that allows for prompt visits without rushing through routine care. Prompt, detailed updates after every walk or drop in, so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you're away. As a student with an extremely flexible and light class schedule, pet care is my primary focus. I’m available throughout most of the day for midday dog walks, routine drop in visits, and last minute requests. Because I am not tied to a traditional 9-to-5 job, I can match your dog or cat’s exact schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime without rushing I provide attentive, reliable care right in your pet's safe environment. For drop in visits, I handle all feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of undivided attention. For dog walking, I tailor the pace and route to your dog's energy level, making sure they get safe exercise and mental stimulation. I always double check locked doors, secure leashes, and send detailed photo updates before I leave so you have complete peace of mind.
“Florence is great! She is an excellent communicator and was super accommodating with last-minute availability. She is so friendly with my dog, follows my directions perfectly, and he gets excited to see her. I’ve already used her multiple times and will definitely continue to. Highly recommend!”
About: I have walked dogs for the last three years, on and off, ranging all the way to 100 pounds. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs. I have my own 4 year old 60lb husky as well! I am currently on summer break from my job, so I am available seven days a week until August 15. There is a chance that day may change. I always make sure I feel comfortable taking the dog outside. I have the strength to keep bigger dogs away from others if necessary. I also am capable of running with dogs.
About: I absolutely love caring for animals. I used to be a receptionist at a vet clinic and love meeting new pets. I am a dog owner myself, which has allowed me to learn more about dogs and their individual needs. I have experience administering oral medications. I have also learned to figure out if something is wrong, or if they need medical care. I will make sure to care for your pet as if it was my own. I know it’s hard leaving our pets so please let me know what I can do to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your pet. I recently moved to New Jersey and I’m currently unemployed. I am a mom to a toddler, and I’m unable to do any long term overnight stays, but may make an exception if it’s only a day.

“Diane was such a friendly and communicative walker. She walked my 10 month old golden retriever puppy while I was away for a business trip. She walked him twice a day and left comments every single time and sent me pictures . I would definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her ?”
“Enis was great with my Golden Retriever Max, just after 1 walk max was whining after seeing him go out the windows. Thanks Enis. Will be definitely be using your services again.”

“Christina and her husband Nick were amazing! She had questions ready prior to the booking to insure the best care for my dog Marley, she sent me constant update and pictures, and made me feel super comfortable. I will definitely be booking with Christina again! Marley loved both of them and I’m sure he looks forward to seeing them again.”
“Karla was great with Cooper and Lulu. Lulu is uneasy around strangers because she is deaf, but Karla was patient and gained Lulu’s trust. Karla sent us lots of pictures so we could see what they were up to while in her care. We will definitely reach out to Karla when we need a sitter again.”
“Very positive experience with a 5 night boarding stay with Carolina's family. She's very pleasant to deal with, and she seems to be a very experienced dog owner. My dog seems to have really enjoyed his stay, playing with her Sheepadoodle. They have a very nice enclosed backyard where the dogs can plan outside. It made it very easy to go away on vacation for the week knowing our dog was in good hands. Will definitely rebook in the future and would highly recommend.”
“This was my first time leaving Garci with someone. Enis made it easy and anxiety free by sending me lots of pictures of Garci looking relaxed and well-cared for. Thanks, Enis!”
“They were extremely accommodating with our pick up and drop off schedule. I have used river maybe five or six times in the past, and that last time I use them I had a very bad experience with poor communication and people were so polite and had a beautiful property and kept in constant communication with plenty of pictures and when it was time for me to pick up my dog, we had a lot of traffic and we’re over an hour late and they were happy to oblige. I will definitely leave my stellar with him anytime and I plan to leave her with them in the future anytime I need a sitter. They sent me lots of pictures. They even went as far as printing out some pictures for us, and they gave Stella a little bandanna like she would have when she left a groomer. They were very polite and had a great backyard, and my dog was very happy when I picked her up, so I know that they treated her well. They are definitely an A+ sitter. I highly recommend them and I have used the multiple times was good and bad and I had nothing but good things to say about them.”
“Elizabeth and Oleg took such great care of Maia! When I picked her up she was smiley, tired from all the playtime (Maia loves to play and they followed instructions), and so happy. They were so helpful and communicative, I’m already looking to book ahead for November.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager. My own, family and friends. I feed them, walk them, bathe them, and even hand feed them if necessary. I work hybrid and I can care for pets Monday to Saturday from 8 to 6 pm for now. I can do some weekends if arrangements are made in advance. My backyard is fenced, we have plenty of indoor space for the pet to use and I can crate your pet if have them accustomed to it. We have a central air conditioning for those hot days.
“We travel frequently for long trips and our usual sitter was not available this time and so we chose to use Rover and found Ankita and her beautiful family . From the time of meet and Greet I knew that I couldn’t have found a better dog loving home for my coco . The love care and affection they showered on coco was evident from the multiple daily updates we received in form of videos and messages . Coco was the happiest puppy ever and I bet she is going to miss them so much - especially their Dog Panther who is such a sweet heart and their little son who became coco’s best friend and companion to play all day :) Coco has found a new second home and we will surely be using them again at our next time away”
“Xunzi was an excellent pet sitter. She watched my kitty Lily for 4 days and 1 unplanned day due to a cancelled flight. Xunzi sent lots of updates and kept Lily comfortable the entire time. She was friendly and obviously loved caring for animals.”
“We were out of state for a week, and Gargi and Sourav went above and beyond to take care of our dog, Zeytin. They made sure she had a blast by taking her to the pond for swimming, which she absolutely loves, and spent time playing with her using sticks—her favorite activity. They kept us updated with little notes about how she was doing, which gave us such peace of mind. Zeytin came back happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We’re so thankful for their kindness and fantastic care!”
“Excellent boarding parents! Jeff and Jenny are a well versed couple with dogs from the initial meet and greet thru pick up at the end of our booking. Smooth process thru the entire stay. Our gentle giant extremely needy labradoodle did great! They provided us with plenty of updates which included pictures and videos of his time with them. He was fortunate to have another doodle as a buddy during his stay. We will be glad to use Jeff and Jenny in the future for our boarding/care taking needs yet again!”
“Hey everybody quick review, Mariana did a phenomenal job with Thor , i have a big dog but they way she treated him he became a big baby around her she gave so much affection and attention to him it was incredible she updates you with pics n videos it was perfect”
“Patrycja was so amazing with my miniature schnauzer - providing me updates and pics throughout the day - with her own sweet dog keeping him company, both of them making him feel right at home from day 1. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Kinjal was absolutely wonderful with Chloe! She was able to take her at the last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, so I could see that Chloe was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was being well taken care of. Kinjal is caring, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely trust her with Chloe again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! 🐶❤️”
“Tricia was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Lani! This was our first time booking with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She clearly has excellent knowledge when it comes to dog introductions and made sure Lani felt comfortable from the start. Her yard is fantastic, spacious, super clean, and thoughtfully designed with a shaded sand pit and a dig zone that Lani loved exploring. We also really appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay! When our flight was unexpectedly canceled, Tricia was incredibly accommodating, even on such short notice. That flexibility meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”
“Erica took such great care of Kai while we were away. She sent daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated, and it was clear Kai was in good hands. Winnie is also such a sweet dog. I’d definitely book with Erica again.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, with three cats and dogs always being a big part of my family. Over the years, my family has owned dogs both big and small, including a German Shepherd and a Cavapoo, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also cared for pets at every stage of life, including playful puppies and kittens as well as seniors who need medication and extra patience. Through caring for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors, I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine and helping them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment while their family is away. I work from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention throughout the day while keeping your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I live in a two-bedroom with a fenced-in yard and space to relax and play. I’m also active and happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention during their stay! 🐾 Working from home allows pet care to easily fit into my everyday routine. I have the flexibility for regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I have a quiet, comfortable two-bedroom with a fully fenced-in yard and plenty of space for your pet to relax and feel at home. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I am happy to adjust the care to what makes them feel most comfortable. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away.
“Stephanie was amazing with our pup! She is friendly, communicative and flexible. She sent us multiple pictures daily to ease our minds that our buddy was in good hands. He loved his time there with Stephanie and Toby so much that he didn’t want to come back home with us 🤣”
