“Maisha is the best dog sitter ever! She sends updates/pictures often, and ensured that my fur baby was having the best time. He enjoyed his stay!”
“Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.”
“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”
“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“Caroline took absolutely amazing care of my puppy. She kept sending us photos and videos of him while in her care. He came back super happy with his time off ?. I would highly recommend her and would definitely be taking her up on future opportunities for care!”
“Danielle and Jason were amazing hosts for Onyx! 🐶 Danielle sent me daily photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re such warm, personable people who clearly adore dogs and treat them like family. Onyx was so happy and comfortable the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking with them again! 🤗”
“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!!”
“Te is wonderful and did a great job with our two dogs. Her kind nature put me at ease when I left my fur babies with her and her experience at caring for dogs really shines through. I highly recommend Te!”
“We went to Newyork and nearby places for a vacation. Neide was an absolute blessing to take care my little baby Leo. He is a momma’s boy and doesn’t like to stay away from me. We both love to believe that he is out of my womb 😂. Neide did a fantastic job in taking care of him and giving him the love that he was missing while we were away. I wish I have Neide near my home so I can do more vacations that I do. She is absolute best and 💯 I will reach out to her if I am around the area”
“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”
“Rommie was fantastic, easy to communicate with, sent plenty of pictures, and took great care of my pup Lady. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a caring, gentle dog sitter.”
“Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.”
“From the second we met Joni I knew our dog Poppy would be in great hands. Poppy immediately felt comfortable with Joni and didn't even look back as we walked away during the drop off. Joni was in touch with us with pictures and messages about what Poppy was up to several times a day. We would recommend Joni to anyone who is looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Joni!!!!!”
“Amazing experience, she took good care of our doggies while we were out of the country. We got photo updates which we loved since we missed them so much. Our dogs enjoyed sunbathing and having access to the outdoor space. We’ll be sure to book Yuberkis again when we go on vacation.”
“Michelle went above and beyond for my dog Dodo during his stay. He was greatly cared and loved by Michelle. Michelle’s dog Archie was so awesome and friendly so they were able to bond and hang out. She sent photos and videos regularly and let me know how Dodo was doing. A must five star!!!!”
“Gabriela was great! My girls were very well taken care of and seemed to enjoy every minute. She kept me up to date on how they were doing and sent me pictures as well. We will definitely be using her again when we go out of town. Thanks for the great experience, I will be sure to recommend you!”

“Deliris was very communicative and accommodating with taking care of our cats; I never once worried about them in her care! She sends great pictures and very detailed updates. I recommend choosing her to sit your babies!”
“Irisdelie was fantastic! She was able to break through to our shy cat and give her the care she needed. Her communication was great, even when we hit a few snags. Thanks so much, Irisdelie!”
“Irene was so amazing. She was able to perfectly administer a multi-step cat medicine. The cats loved her, even our less friendly cat wanted to interact with her. We definitely plan to book with her again!”
“Jade was exceptional! Her communication and photos the whole time were perfect and she bonded so well with my cat. I would absolutely work with Jade again the next time I need a cat sitter. She asked questions and got to know my cat and her habits during our meet and greet and followed all instructions we left perfectly!”
“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”
“Lillian is awesome! Extremely attentive. Always left great notes. She was prompt and showed up twice daily at consistent time frames to take care of my little man! He is shy, and she even got him to snuggle on her lap after a few days of bonding! I know my little buddy Charleston is in great hands now whenever I leave town because I have Lillian to help care for him! Thanks again!”
About: I grew up around all kinds of pets & began pet sitting in high school. I’ve cared for puppies and kittens all the way to senior care. Small dogs and big ones (Great Danes are the largest). I’ve gone on countless walks, used gentles leaders, played with all types of toys, administered various medications, and given lots of baths. I have a 2-year-old short-haired calico, and a 9-year-old Boston Terrier/Pug mix. I am a student who works as a barista part time. I do school online and my schedule is extremely flexible which makes me the perfect pet sitter. I am happy to do whatever is necessary to fit into your pets routine. I provide plenty of photos and updates. I am lucky to have my sister as a roommate so if it is necessary for me to stay with a pet overnight I am able to do so.
“Toni was great! My cat, who tends to be shy with new people, loved her. She was punctual, communicated well, and sent lots of pictures and updates while she was watching her.”
“Neide was THE BEST! Caring and attentive, she also sent frequent photos and videos to reassure me and my kids that our kitty was doing well. Highly recommended”
“Molly is fantastic. She was kind enough to come for a quick meet and greet, so Casper could meet her for the first time while I was home. Her husband, Quentin, is also very sweet. I am very picky who I trust with my black cat, and I trust Molly. I have already scheduled another drop-in visit. Thank you, Molly!”
“Joni was a wonderful sitter for Tigger! She communicated well throughout the stay and took great care of him — including giving him his medication and gently comforting him when he was scared. The only minor hiccup was with the Rover card check-in timing (either forgetting or tapping a bit too early), but that’s a small thing. Overall, I’d highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
“Karollyne took great care of my cat Jellybean while I was away! Communication was quick and helpful and I will definitely consider booking her again in the future. Thank you!”
About: Since birth, I grew up around all different kinds of animals. I’ve raised 3 beautiful pit bulls and lab mix while also having the opportunity to dog sit friends pets from Golden Retriever’s to Yorkies. I am currently going to school part-time so I have plenty of free time to watch over your pets! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have a fenced backyard as well as front yard. I love playing fetch with my dog while also playing tag. After tricks, she loves receiving her treats.
“Daniel was beyond responsible and responsive, although I was far away from home he made sure to inform me on each visit regarding status of my senior dog and cat. I know for sure who to contact in the future ! 10/10 overall service”
“Katrina has always been great! This time she very kindly picked up our cat from the emergency vet at night and got him settled at home when we had logistics issues getting back from vacation. She made sure he was safe, gave us an update on his behavior, and made sure we got all the information we need from the vet. We’d recommend her to anyone!”

“Absolutely AMAZING experience! Our dog was so well cared for and clearly loved every minute. We got great updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It’s such a relief finding someone we trust completely with our pup. Highly recommend, we will definitely be booking again and again!”
“This was the last daycare I had with Jennifer before my sweet elderly Xander passed. Xander had come to like Jennifer and over time, started to show excitement when he saw her. So this final rating was given by the dog. Xander had many medical needs and Jennifer accepted all of them. Xander passed yesterday and I contacted her to inform her and thank her. I didn't mention this but I was feeling regret about not checking the box asking for pictures all day long. SHE STARTED SENDING ME PICTURES. I"M CRYING BIG TEARS THANK YOU.”
“Neide's care for our dog Ace was exceptional. Her genuine love for animals was evident, and Ace connected with her instantly. Neide's attention to detail, communication, and dedication turned our worries into peace of mind. Highly recommended for her outstanding pet care!”
About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.
“Andrew is top rated for a reason! Totally worth the cost. He’s got a great space perfect for a dog to free roam and family all committed to the care of your little one. Professional, accommodating, attentive, and great with updates / communication. New to the area and was nervous leaving my little one with a new care giver for an extended period for work travel. Andrew gave me tons of peace of mind. Definitely recommend!”
“Michelle is great to work with. My pup returned content and tired, which indicates he had a good day. The updates and photos provided throughout the day were appreciated. Highly recommended!”
“I am extremely satisfied with the service I received. Luna was taken care of, very well, and the communication (written/visually) was outstanding! I am very pleased with the attention, and we will be back soon! Thanks very much! We are both very happy Rovers.”
About: Hi! I’m Tina, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes pets are family. Growing up, I had a Pekingese who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years, she was my best friend, and I was involved in her care every single day, from walks and feeding to just spending time together. In high school I also helped walk and care for dogs in my neighborhood, which gave me experience with all kinds of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m not a professionally trained handler, but I think honesty goes a long way when someone is trusting you with their dog. What I can genuinely offer is patience, attentiveness, and a lot of love. I’m actually looking into additional pet care training because this is something I really enjoy and want to keep growing in. I work fully remotely, which means I can provide lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of opportunities for interaction and care. I currently live in a pet-friendly apartment community with a dog park located downstairs, and I also have reliable transportation to take dogs to nearby parks and walking areas if appropriate. A little about me: I studied Public Health during both my undergraduate and graduate education, earned my Master’s degree in Global Health from Harvard , and currently work in the health industry. That sound unrelated, but honestly it’s shaped how I approach responsibility: carefully, consistently, and always with the other person’s (or pup’s!) needs in mind. I know how much it means to find someone you can really trust with your dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and go from there! I am available Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm, and on weekends from 10am to 12pm and 3pm to 5pm. I'm happy to accommodate special needs outside of these hours to ensure your pet receives the best care possible! In my home, I can comfortably accommodate small dogs/medium size dogs ensuring they have a safe, clean, and loving environment. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and constant supervision to make sure your pet feels secure and happy.
About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.
“Jamin was great and accommodating at the last minute. He was definitely attentive to Yanni's needs and was helpful in getting him acclimated to a new environment. Hands down would book again”
About: Since a child, home has always been made complete with pets, and that is where a genuine love for animals began within me. I’ve been around different breads and ages, from shitzu to pit bull and puppies to seniors, which gave me a broader understanding in the proper care (feeding structure, walking/exercise, pet proofing environments, etc.) and comfort required for each individual pet. The years of experience that I’ve had with these incredible fur babies has led me to ultimately pursuing my passion in helping others care for theirs! I am currently working from home, leaving me with an overall open and flexible schedule. Pet daycare is available Monday-Friday until 6pm (weekends can be further discussed). Also, due to involvement with my home church, Sundays I typically have to leave for a couple hours in the morning, for anyone interested in pet boarding availability. My home is a pet-proofed, cozy house with a spacious, fenced-in backyard, located near a park only a few minutes away walking distance. There aren’t any children nor any pets at home, creating plenty of space for your pet to safely and freely enjoy! While caring for your pets, I always prioritize following their set schedules as well, in regard to their feeding, exercise, potty, rest, and medication (if necessary). I want every owner to feel peace while they are away, so I make sure to provide consistent communication and photos/videos updates throughout the stay!
About: Since I was young I grew up in a house surrounded by animals so I always learned to love and respect them. I always take care of friends and family's pets when they travel, and i love it! I’m a full time pet sitter who also works as a content creator lol you might be asked if I can create content with your pet. 🐾 I also have my husband’s help time to time 🥰 he is a pet lover just like me and he is more than happy to help! I believe that home is the best and safest place for your pet, so I make myself available to go to your home and take care of your pet. Keeping a healthy and loving environment for the pet to go through this moment in the most friendly and loving way. As for my house is on the second floor but your pet will have a good time walking in the park across the street.
About: I’m 24, from Texas. Back at home I have a labordoodle that I love, and miss so much !! So to fill that void I love to walk/ Pup sit. While in my care every pup is treated with patience, and grace. I also have 100+ 5 Star reviews, on WAG! Pet parents .. Your schedules, and rules are RESPECTED while pets are in my care. I can work with pet parents on weekly/ daily reoccurring walks! My weekends are completely free, so if you need a drop in’s I can do so. I have several dog parks near by. As well as several grassy fields. I don’t have any wires/plants/chemicals etc. out in the open that would be exposed to the pups. I also buy new toys for the each pet upon arrival (With pet parents permission).
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and really care about taking good care of pets. I also did a dog grooming course, so I know how to do that, as well. In a previous job, one of my duties was taking care of a French bulldog. I am fully available throughout the day and can also administer medication to pets when needed. Pet care requires attention and dedication, and I am committed to providing the care they need. I am available for multiple daily visits to make sure your pet is comfortable, cared for, and never feels alone, although I do not offer overnight stays.
About: Since the age of 15, I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ dogs, building a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve worked in several professional pet care facilities, gaining invaluable experience. However, I realized I wanted to provide the same level of personalized care I’d expect for my own pets. That’s why I decided to set out on my own, offering compassionate, tailored care for every furry friend I meet. I currently have an open schedule and can accommodate most requests. I only will take one owners pets at a time in my home so please keep this in mind if you need boarding services. I have a large fenced yard with 3 sides blocked by buildings giving dogs a safe secure place to exercise and relax. I also live near Branchbrook park for longer walks. When taking care of pets in your home my goal is be as non intrusive and respectful as possible. I'm happy to follow any requested procedures to ensure your full comfort.
“Rosemeri was a great dog sitter for our little Betty. She kept us updated with pictures and video of our pup while we were out for the day. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Thank you Delores for taking such good care of Sebastian and Shamar! I really appreciated you accepting my request on such short notice. You were kind, professional, flexible, And the dogs were comfortable going with you. Which allowed me to relax. I love the pictures you sent. And most importantly, my dogs came home happy and calm.

“Nima did a fantastic job walking our Oli and I highly recommend her. She is punctual, professional, and extremely loving to all of our pets! Nima was also flexible with scheduling and willing to accommodate our (Oli’s) needs when we needed to modify the booking. She was also extremely patient when our Oli was being stubborn on walks or potty breaks, which we greatly appreciated, especially the photos of their walks when he was serving serious diva face! 😂 We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I have a strong fondness for dogs and cats! Although I didn't have pets at home while growing up, I thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the homes of my family, friends, and neighbors, caring for and playing with their dogs. I work remotely. My schedule is very flexible, and I can walk or play with your dog or cat in the morning, afternoon, and early evening. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, I prioritize their well-being and comfort. I ensure a safe environment, regular feeding, ample water, and scheduled walks or playtime. Additionally, I follow any specific care instructions provided by the owner and maintain clear communication with the owner regarding the pet's behavior and health. I strive to create a nurturing and loving atmosphere, making sure the pets feel at ease and cared for during their time with me.
About: I grew up with and took care of a sweet and energetic yorkipoo named Milo. He passed away a few of years ago at 15 with dementia and nerve issues. I also lived with an elderly, blind maltese-bichon mix, Coco for three years and helped take care of her as well. I am comfortable and experienced with older dogs that require more medical attention but am more than happy to help with younger pups as well! I also have some experience cat-sitting for friends. I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am especially available during weekdays at any time. However, I am available many weekends as well. I like to give pets ample attention and whatever each individual pet needs. I know each pet is different and I will adapt to your pet’s personality whether that’s high energy or more calm.
“Marli has been taking our dog on weekly walks for several months and she has house-sat for us on multiple occasions as well. She has been absolutely wonderful to work with since Day 1. She is quick to respond, always prompt, and most importantly, our dog really enjoys spending time with her. We have a large dog that has medical needs and she can sometimes be difficult when getting to know new people. Marli demonstrated tremendous patience and kindness with her and she was able to gain her trust as a result. We are incredibly grateful for that. We would HIGHLY recommend Marli to anyone looking for a kind, passionate, and highly communicative caretaker for their pet. Thanks Marli :)”
About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs since kindergarten. I am extremely patient and love dogs more than humans sometimes, I haven’t met a dog that didn’t love me :) I also have owned two senior dogs and a new puppy, so I am well versed on handling different energy levels in dogs. I live in an apartment that has gated yards and a park that is 5 minutes away. I also have a crate if the dog needs one along with a one year old yorkie that is very friendly and energetic. If the dog is reactive and not great around other dogs, I have a family member that I can stay with while your dog is in my possession that is dog free and has a gated front yard the dog can play in. I am currently working part time during the late evenings. The best time for drop offs/pick ups would be in the early morning and afternoon 6am-3pm on Mondays and Thursdays. I am typically off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, so pick ups/drop offs work for whenever those days. Fridays and Saturday’s I work in the night time, so pick up/drop offs are ideal anytime before 7pm :) Any other time discrepancies can worked out to accommodate your plans. I take pet care extremely seriously. Each day consists of multiple walks along with play time either in my own home or the dog park and with dog enrichment. Enrichment is crucial because it stimulates a dogs brain and provides entertainment for a while. Dog parks are also essential because it helps the dog interact and play with other dogs
About: Hi, I’m Yari! I’ve grown up and cared for pets my entire life. I have a 12-year old beagle-mix pup 🐶 who loves naps and going on sniffaris. 💚 I have cared for dogs and cats with separation anxiety, leash pulling, and reactivity from ages ranging from puppies to seniors. I’m familiar with basic obedience training and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m experienced in administering oral medications and managing complex feeding schedules. 🩷 Every pet gets personalized attention. Whether your dog has high energy and needs a long, brisk walk, or your cat prefers quiet companionship and feather wand playtime, I adapt my visits to your pet's needs. 🩵 For walks: I follow your routines explicitly to ensure a stress-free experience. I avoid off-leash areas, enforce strict safety measures on walks, and practice safe socialization. 🧡 For house-sitting: I know how hard it is to leave your fur babies. I provide regular updates and photos through the Rover app so you have total peace of mind while you are away. 🤍 CPR & First Aid Certified 💛 Please feel free to ask any questions :) I’m currently working from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I’m available weekdays and weekends during the mornings (10am-12pm), midday (12pm-2pm) and afternoon/night (2pm to 10pm) for walks and drop-ins. I also offer overnight stay both during the weekdays and weekends with dedicated morning and evening pet time. I request a meet and greet before accepting to take care of your pet at your home to align on expectations. In this meet and greet, we would review your pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, medication schedules, and behavioral quirks. Also discuss home access, safety measures, and disclosing security cameras or household staff who may come by during the visit. For house-sitting, I will ensure consistent communication by sending 2-3 updates per day with photos and summaries of how your pet ate, their bathroom habits, and how they behaved. I will also treat your residence with respect.

“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”
“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!!”
“Te is wonderful and did a great job with our two dogs. Her kind nature put me at ease when I left my fur babies with her and her experience at caring for dogs really shines through. I highly recommend Te!”
“We went to Newyork and nearby places for a vacation. Neide was an absolute blessing to take care my little baby Leo. He is a momma’s boy and doesn’t like to stay away from me. We both love to believe that he is out of my womb 😂. Neide did a fantastic job in taking care of him and giving him the love that he was missing while we were away. I wish I have Neide near my home so I can do more vacations that I do. She is absolute best and 💯 I will reach out to her if I am around the area”
“From the second we met Joni I knew our dog Poppy would be in great hands. Poppy immediately felt comfortable with Joni and didn't even look back as we walked away during the drop off. Joni was in touch with us with pictures and messages about what Poppy was up to several times a day. We would recommend Joni to anyone who is looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter. Thank you Joni!!!!!”
“Lifu was great with Lily, seems Lily had a good time staying over with her. Very good communication and punctual on drop off and pick up times, would recommend to other dog parents!”
“Jestine was amazing, she really helped us during our wedding weekend and we even got to see our baby on our wedding day because of her. 10/10 for our first experience using Rover”
“Booked a last min 5 night stay for my senior golden retriever! I sent an essay of instruction and Starry + Gio did an amazing job taking care of him. It was literally the coldest winter/weekend in NJ/NY area in the past 10+ years. They kept me updated constantly with walk pics throughout the day and pics of him in general! I was very happy to know that their dog (Walnut) is a sweetheart and gets along well with my dog! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable and responsible couple to dog sit. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”
“John was very tentative to our dog . We loved his positive energy . We can tell he's a true animal lover . He was so easy going and flexible when we had to change our drop off off time last minute . Love how him and his son made our dog feel loved :) Photos were adorable of her he sent ! Thanks so much :)”
“This is the one day extension of sitting, my arrival was delayed and Manny was very helpful to let me extend a day. He was really great with Marla. I would recommend him for sitting needs and trust he cares for a pet like it is his ”
“Gracie was well taken care of with Jessica. She sent daily morning and evening photos so we could see our furbaby. She was quick to respond to us when we sent messages. I would recommend her. I intend to use her again when we are in the area.”
About: I feel what makes me different from other candidates is that I have treats for them. I make sure they are always comfortable. I give you updates on how they are doing. I know as dog parents sometimes we stress of knowing how they are. I also have been working taking care of dogs since I was 15. It was helped me learn a lot through the years Taking care of your fur baby fits in my daily routine because I have extra time and I enjoy going on walks and they bring so much joy. What makes my home safe is that I live a safe area. There is a park across the street across the street. They also get the backyard. There are no kids and they will monitored.
“Ekaterina was amazing with Zoey! She gave me lots of updates and took such great care of her. She did an amazing job and her kids were so gentle with Zoey too! During Zoey’s stay, she had to take medication and was healing from a cut on her leg - Ekaterina did an amazing job making sure she was being cared for properly. I would love for her to watch Zoey in the future again!”
“Ivette dogsat recently for me in her home and Ivette and her husband took great care of my fur baby Lambo. Their dog Blas was also so sweet and welcoming to Lambo and they had a great time together. Ivette provided wonderful updates and pics during Lambo's stay. As soon as I met Ivette i felt so comfortable leaving Lambo with her. I would highly recommend Ivette and will definitelt utilize her services again in the future.”
“Doug and Luiz took great care of our girls while we were away. We were first time Rover users but they clearly know what they are doing. They have their house set up really well and have seen it all. They gave us lots of updates and are very safety focused. I especially appreciate them putting airtags on the dogs upon check in and every entry/exit point is double gated. Really conscientious dog lovers who set up towel pathways for my dog who gets scared of tile/wood floors. Will for sure use again!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and truly enjoy bonding with pets because they feel like a safe space and the most genuine companions. I have 4+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, giving attention, and making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to care for their pets with patience, love, and reliability. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I make time throughout the week for feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets attention, comfort, and companionship while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, keep their spaces clean, make sure doors and gates are secure, and give them patience, affection, and gentle care so they feel relaxed and protected.
“Spike had an awesome time during his stay. The sitter provided so many pictures of him enjoying himself with his new sitter and his dog Brooklyn. He can’t wait to come back and visit!!!”
