“There are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Maria and her beautiful family. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Nico was being cared for by Maria. She is AMAZING - so loving, kind, attentive and caring. Maria had to take Nico to the vet in my absence and I truly was not worried one bit. He was so calm and felt safe with Maria. Even when I went to pick him up he didn’t want to leave. He had the best time there. I give her 10 stars and Nico cannot wait to go back!!”
“Paul and Kathryn took great care of our golden ! She stayed the night there and was given so much love and attention. She loved running around their yard! They kept us up to date and sent pictures and videos ! Would use them again !”
“Billy is hands down the Dog Whisperer — and that headline is no exaggeration! He’s the best of the best. My 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy, Einstein, was treated like royalty while my family and I were away on holiday. Billy kept us smiling the whole trip with constant pictures and videos of Einstein — whether it was him strutting around the park, enjoying his meals, or just being his playful self. It honestly felt like Einstein was on his own little vacation! Billy even went the extra mile by gently removing some knots from his fur and washing his things before giving him back to us. He was super polite with my whole family, always cheerful, and gave us updates whenever we asked (sometimes a couple of times a day). Einstein got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles — it was obvious he was being cared for as if he were Billy’s own pup. On top of all that, Billy’s rates are very competitive, which makes the level of care he provides feel like an incredible find. We’ll 100% be booking him again as repeat clients. If you want someone who will love your pup like family, look no further — Billy really is the Dog Whisperer! 🐾✨”
“Anmol and Trupti took such great care of our dog Spunky overnight this week so that we could get a night away to NYC. Spunky seemed to feel right at home and got lots of love and attention. We received pics and videos so we could see that she was doing great. Thank you so much Anmol and Trupti! NWe highly recommend this family and will definitely use them again for Spunky!”
“Bob and his wife were excellent with our pup! I was a little anxious leaving him because this was our first time with Bob, and we were out of the country, but he had a great time. Bob was very kind and sweet to him, with regular walks in addition to playing in his yard. It seems he had plenty of cuddles and didn’t want to leave! We will definitely use Bob again in the future, we are very happy.”
“Xavier and his family took great care of my dog Emma while we were away. You could tell she was treated well and enjoyed her time there and having a fenced in yard is perfect for any dog that likes to be outside and roam. He’s a great communicator and would definitely use him again.”
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“Brian is amazing! He updated me throughout my dogs trip and even put an air tag on her just incase which is something that made me feel even more comfortable. Thank you!”
“Christi and Pete helped us out last minute with a week long stay of our three month old puppy. I can’t recommend them enough! They were flexible and willing to work with puppy shenanigans. They sent pictures and texts throughout the week. They’ll be out first choice if we need a pet sitter soon!”
“So happy we found Neveen, and so grateful for her for taking such good care of my pups ! It was my first time leaving them with a sitter, and it was such a great experience. She sent updates and pictures everyday, and both dogs seemed so content when I picked them up. Highly recommend, and would definitely use her again.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Harleny! She took amazing care of my dog, Saga, and treated her like one of her own. Saga received so many cuddles and had an absolutely great time while in her care. Harleny kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was incredibly accommodating when we needed to make some last minute changes. We’re so grateful for her kindness and flexibility she showed Saga. Highly recommend her!”
“We left our 75 pound lap dog for 9 days and I think he had more fun than we did. He had lots of fun playing with other dogs and looking out their front window. Received pictures every day reassuring us he was being well taken care of. Meg and her family took great care of Rocco. I would definitely use them again if I could get another family vacation!”
“I needed a dog boarded ASAP in an urgent situation. Debi appeared available, and when I messaged her, she replied within a minute that she was! I brought my dog over a few hours later, and was greeted warmly by Debi at her beautiful home. She kept me updated multiple times a day with pictures and videos. My dog was totally at home with her family, and was so calm and content when I picked her up! I could not have been happier leaving my dog with Debi, and I will definitely be using her again! I can't recommend highly enough - it was a fantastic experience!”

About: Hi! I’m a first-grade teacher and proud cat mom who understands that pets are family. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, both in my career and in my personal life. As someone whose own cat is my whole world, I know how important it is to find a sitter who will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention that you do. I have years of experience providing safe, reliable care and am comfortable following your pet’s routine, whether that means playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, medication, or simply giving them space when they need it. I especially love caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and comfort level. My goal is to help you feel at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely loves animals and will treat them like family. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾💕
About: I've loved animals my whole life! I have a naturally calm presences that pets immediately pick up on. I'm dependable, communicative, and will share lots of pictures to keep you updated. I'm a college student home for the summer. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available whenever you need me. I have my own transportation and can be where your pet needs me, when they need me. I follow your pet’s exact routine, feeding times, walk schedule, sleeping spots, so they barely notice you’re gone. I'll send photo updates throughout the day and reach out immediately if anything seems off. Your home will be left exactly as I found it.
About: I don’t just watch cats—I care for them with the same attention and affection I give to my own. I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’ve also worked professionally with a pet-sitting company, where I gained hands-on experience with cats of every temperament, age, and personality. I understand that cats thrive when their routines feel safe and predictable, so I make it a priority to learn their habits, preferences, and boundaries. Whether your cat is shy, senior, playful, or a certified lap-lover, I adapt to their pace and comfort level. I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral meds and topical treatments, and I’m patient with senior kitties who may need a little extra support. Cleanliness is also incredibly important to me—I keep litter boxes spotless, food areas tidy, and your home as neat (or neater!) than you left it. Most of all, I genuinely enjoy building trust with cats. I take time to talk to them, play with them, and make sure they never feel lonely while you’re away. My goal is that you come home to a relaxed, happy cat—and complete peace of mind.
“Brittany was great with my kitties. Was receptive to any suggestions or changes that were made. Was very helpful when one of the cats got out because a friend of mine came to water the plants. All in all I would highly recommend her.”
“Finnian was available last min and responded super quickly which is always great in a pinch but not expected. He was open to all my directions for my new puppy and comfortable dropping in without meeting her and not knowing what to expect. Took adorable pics and sent great notes! I do the job full time and so far I’m happy I found him :)”
About: I was born and raised with my childhood cat and took care of her until she passed when she was seventeen. I've cared for neighbor's elderly cats throughout the years as well as got a new cat named Stevie two years ago as a kitten.
“I cannot recommend Allison enough! From the moment I dropped Leo off, I knew he was in wonderful hands. She kept me updated throughout my trip with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my little boy was happy and well cared for. Allison and her husband, Anthony, have such a warm, welcoming home, and it was clear that Leo felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while he was there. Leo is a shy cat, so seeing him relax and settle in meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were their own, Allison is exactly the person you want. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I know Leo will be excited to go back. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of my baby!”
“Jenna was amazing with our three cats. They were well looked after the entire week. Jenna was punctual, thorough, and made sure we were kept in the loop at all times. We highly recommend her, A+!”
“We have used Jamie several times now as a sitter for our 2 cats and she always does a wonderful job! The cats are always happy, healthy, and well taken care of upon our returns. Jamie also follows all care directions meticulously which is a big relief when we need to be out of town. Thank you Jamie!”
“We left our cat with Steve for five nights. We seldomly ever leave our cat who travels with us all around in our camper. Of course we were a little bit nervous, leaving him in a strange city. But, Steve and his wife were amazing! The communication was outstanding and the kitty care was excellent! Steve’s wife works at pet shop and her love of animals was clear. I would not hesitate to leave leave Moby there again. Thank you so much for being such caring people and great pet sitters!”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of my cat while I was away on vacation. She sent me updates and pictures every visit and was so patient with my shy kitty who spent her first few visits hiding. They ultimately became best buds which made me feel so much better about being away. I would definitely recommend Lauren and would definitely have her again!”
About: I grew up in a family of animal lovers and from an early age I learned how to care for them with attention, patience, and affection. Being around animals has always been a natural and important part of my life. I also lived for two years with a host family as an au pair, where I was responsible for the household, the children, the family cat, and daily routines. This experience strengthened my sense of responsibility, organization, and reliability, especially when caring for both people and animals. Through this experience, I developed strong habits when it comes to maintaining a home, following routines, and handling responsibilities with care and consistency. I am someone homeowners can trust to respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and communicate clearly when needed. I will treat your home and your cats with the same attention, respect, and affection I would give my own.

Her boyfriend Jason who also is on Rover joined her for this visit, and the both of them bonded so well with our dog. We are so excited to work with them moving forward!”

“Paul and Kathryn took great care of our golden ! She stayed the night there and was given so much love and attention. She loved running around their yard! They kept us up to date and sent pictures and videos ! Would use them again !”
“Billy is hands down the Dog Whisperer — and that headline is no exaggeration! He’s the best of the best. My 5-month-old Maltipoo puppy, Einstein, was treated like royalty while my family and I were away on holiday. Billy kept us smiling the whole trip with constant pictures and videos of Einstein — whether it was him strutting around the park, enjoying his meals, or just being his playful self. It honestly felt like Einstein was on his own little vacation! Billy even went the extra mile by gently removing some knots from his fur and washing his things before giving him back to us. He was super polite with my whole family, always cheerful, and gave us updates whenever we asked (sometimes a couple of times a day). Einstein got plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles — it was obvious he was being cared for as if he were Billy’s own pup. On top of all that, Billy’s rates are very competitive, which makes the level of care he provides feel like an incredible find. We’ll 100% be booking him again as repeat clients. If you want someone who will love your pup like family, look no further — Billy really is the Dog Whisperer! 🐾✨”
“Anmol and Trupti took such great care of our dog Spunky overnight this week so that we could get a night away to NYC. Spunky seemed to feel right at home and got lots of love and attention. We received pics and videos so we could see that she was doing great. Thank you so much Anmol and Trupti! NWe highly recommend this family and will definitely use them again for Spunky!”
“Xavier and his family took great care of my dog Emma while we were away. You could tell she was treated well and enjoyed her time there and having a fenced in yard is perfect for any dog that likes to be outside and roam. He’s a great communicator and would definitely use him again.”
About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.
“Brian is amazing! He updated me throughout my dogs trip and even put an air tag on her just incase which is something that made me feel even more comfortable. Thank you!”
“Christi and Pete helped us out last minute with a week long stay of our three month old puppy. I can’t recommend them enough! They were flexible and willing to work with puppy shenanigans. They sent pictures and texts throughout the week. They’ll be out first choice if we need a pet sitter soon!”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Harleny! She took amazing care of my dog, Saga, and treated her like one of her own. Saga received so many cuddles and had an absolutely great time while in her care. Harleny kept us updated throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind, and she was incredibly accommodating when we needed to make some last minute changes. We’re so grateful for her kindness and flexibility she showed Saga. Highly recommend her!”
“We left our 75 pound lap dog for 9 days and I think he had more fun than we did. He had lots of fun playing with other dogs and looking out their front window. Received pictures every day reassuring us he was being well taken care of. Meg and her family took great care of Rocco. I would definitely use them again if I could get another family vacation!”
“I cannot praise Max and his wonderful family enough for taking outstanding care of my two dogs. My heart is truly at peace when I leave them with Max. Thank you again and again.”

“Was worried since this was a first time visiting this house with Milo and Maui but they looked so comfortable! I was so happy to see my cats and Lenny was so sweet and caring. Both my cats were able to have seperate rooms which was also so great.”
“Our dog, Riley, was so well cared for by Josh. He met us at our car for drop off and pick up bc it's tricky to get to his apartment. While Riley was there we received pictures to keep us updated. It made our evening in Philly so much better knowing she was in good hands.”
“Margaret is so nice and made us feel comfortable right away. She kept us updated on our pup throughout the stay. She’s very good with communication, confirmed the stay and answered us right away. We would definitely have our dog stay with her again.”
“We have left our dogs with Maureen 3 times now and she is GREAT! She keeps in contact with us by sending pictures of the things they are doing throughout the day. She has a great property for the dogs to roam around and get the exercise they need! I feel that our dogs are in great hands when they stay with her. We will definitely be using her again the near future!!!”
“What can I say Jaimie is just so fabulous with my Rue and her other “furclients”” Rue had the best time ever and this is her second stay with Jaimie and will be staying with her again in November for a full week ! I’m so so grateful to have found her ~ really couldn’t ask for a better sitter and person than her 🐾♥️🐾 we love you Jaimie and her entire family 🐶🐱 I highly recommend her!!! Thank you J 🙏🏼😘”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Radwa provided for my Frenchie Ramsay. She was attentive, loving, and kept me updated with quick responses. Ramsay loved her and her children right away. My dog came back happy and did not want to leave. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring sitter. 5 Star all around.”
“Yvette took care of our dog who normally gets very sad when we leave her and had a great stay with Yvette!! Yvette sent us plenty of pics and updates and videos during the 3 weeks she stayed with her and it was so nice to constantly be in touch. Our dog adjusted extremely quickly and I know all of her needs were met and then some. Yvette goes the extra mile to ensure great care and you can tell she really has the dog's best interest always in mind. I cannot recommend highly enough!!”
