“Vince is amazing. He put my mind at peace with just 1 meet & greet visit. It’s like Magik returned from Hogwarts University 🪄dog edition. Can’t wait to use Vincent’s services again.”
“Bonnie and her family are amazing! Sesame is an anxious baby, but everyone in her family gave him so much love and hugs that he immediately settled in. Bonnie shared many photos with me throughout his stay so I could see how he was doing. She was also very communicative, especially about his meals, since he’s a picky eater who’s not very good about finishing his food. She and her family really went above and beyond to care for him! I would totally stay with her again!!!”
“This is our second time coming to Jose and he was wonderful with ginger. Had to extender her stay last minute by one day and he was very accommodating. We look forward to any future stays”
“Jacqueline is the get away Hotel for my cat. He spent five nights being pampered, given time in the fresh air, and the center of attention with her entire family over the weekend. He sleeps out in the open which shows he is comfortable and lets the family play with him and rub his belly which he rarely allows. Jacqueline shares numerous videos pictures and text updates. My guy is actually adjusting coming back home; I’m not sure he was ready to leave his vacation! It’s just he and I so now I feel bad he left all of his friends at Jacqueline’s house! She and her family are truly wonderful people and take very good care of my cat. Thank you, so much, for taking care of my little turkey!”
“Bill knows dogs! He took our rambunctious three year old & they got along great. He had a couple of dogs & we took Rossi there for a meet & greet so he could see how they got along. We took Rossi to Bill’s the next day because Rossi was treated so well. He sent photo & text updates a couple of times each day. 5 stars.”
“Cherish has watched my dog Rio two times this year and she does an excellent job. She takes care of Rio like it's her own, she sent videos and pics on regular basis. I have no complains and I would highly recommend her. I finally found someone who is right for my dog. Thank You Cherish. Sean P.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
“Natalia and llian were amazing! Roman looked so happy and playful while he was there. The have great communication and will send cute photos/ videos throughout the day. I will definitely book again!”
“Vernisha, did an excellent job from the beginning of our communication until the moment we picked him up. She kept us informed throughout our getaway and sent photos and videos, including updates from the park when she took our dog for a walk. We really loved the way she cared for him and kept us updated on his well-being. We highly recommend her!”
“Jonathan and Rebecca were absolutely wonderful!! They communicated with me every day with an update on how my dog was doing and sent pics! Highly recommend this lovely family to take care of your pet!! ❤️”
“Another doggie stay in the books! Nervana is just the best! She cares for my babies like they are her own. She is super communicative and I always felt at ease whenever we talked. I got daily photos and videos and it felt great to see my boys happy 😊”
“I was so happy to find Yanina. I have two older dogs (an 11 year old ~50 lb retriever mix and a 12 year old ~80 lb bully mix). Normally folks are intimidated by the size with no inclination to get to know my dogs. Yanina and her hubby were so kind to my babies and treated them so well. I got some fantastic photos and videos and my dogs were smiling and so happy!”
“Stacia was absolutely amazing, she welcomed Kiwi with hugs and kisses. Even though it was my first time leaving Kiwi with someone outside of my family, I felt comfortable because she sent pictures and videos throughout the day. Thank you Stacia for making it easier for us, we are so happy to know that Kiwi had a good time that that we already booked our next boarding!”
“Kristen was amazing! I was staying at a hotel nearby for a wedding and found her. Her great reviews sold me on choosing her and it was the right choice. Very communicative and sent lots of photos! Asked detailed questions about his routine/schedule to make sure he’d be ok. She was nice and flexible with me for pickup/drop off knowing it was a drive for me and I had family events that didn’t have an actual end time set (just approximate) If I’m in the area again and needed a sitter I’d 1000% rebook!”
“Jessica was so great with our puppy! I’m relieved to have found someone that will take such good care of her when we need to travel. Thank you Jess for all the pics and updates. Chloe will be back ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience! Cocoa was so well cared for, and it was clear he felt happy, comfortable, and loved. Their whole family, including the kids, was involved in caring for him, which made for such a warm and welcoming environment. We really appreciated the updates and the attention they gave him. We’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”

“Paige was AWESOME!! My first time using a pet sitter & it was WAY above my expectations. I looked forward to receiving Paige’s daily updates & photos of my cats. She was sooo conscientious and kind. Extremely reliable & detailed….. she wanted to be sure she followed my instructions to the letter. Excellent!!! I’ve already re-booked her for June! Thanks Paige….. great job with my fur-babies 🥰”
“Jenna was amazing with my very sick kitty. We had to leave for a few days right after he became ill. She went TWICE a day for him and was communicative the whole time. She was able to give him medicine and she even went above and beyond to clean up after his sickness which I did not want her to have to do. Such a peace of mind while we were gone to know he was well cared for.”
“Stephanie was wonderful when it came to taking care of our 2 cats when we were away - she was kind and detail oriented. We'll definitely rebook Stephanie in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats since I was little, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I absolutely love cats and genuinely enjoy their unique personalities, whether they’re playful, cuddly, independent, or a little shy. My family and friends regularly trust me to care for their cats when they’re out of town or need an extra hand. I treat every cat I care for like my own and want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their humans are away!
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with over five years of experience caring for cats through friends and family, and I've been the proud owner of my own cat for the past two years. I'm confident administering oral medications and will carefully follow your pet's routine to ensure they receive the care they need. Whether it's feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, cuddles (if they're interested!), or simply keeping them company, I'll treat your cat with the same patience and care I give my own.
“Third time booking Neve. I had three great summer vacations thanks to her. Completely reliable and a true professional I am grateful to have lucked out and booked her. You should too.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life. I love dogs also and have watched family members dogs in the past. I can play with your animals or lounge with them I work full time but looking for something to do on the weekends when I have extra time. I’m usually home and have some availability during the week if necessary Your pets will be taken care of like my own. (Loved and doted on) I love on my cats like they are my children and will do the same for yours.

About: My main cat-care experience has been caring for my son's dad's cat, who I've known and helped cared for for about 11 years. I'm comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care and keeping cats company.
“Tara was fantastic! Reliable, professional, and friendly! Thank you so much, Tara for doing a terrific job! I will definitely be calling you again for my kitties. Highly recommend!”
“We truly hit the pet-sitter jackpot. I hesitate to leave this review for fear that Tammy will become so beloved across Rover she will no longer have time for us! From the moment we met Tammy, it was clear our cats were possibly in better hands than our own (honestly, they seemed a little disappointed when we came back). Updates were consistent, thoughtful, and often included photos that looked like they belonged in a pet lifestyle magazine—somehow capturing both chaos and cuteness in equal measure. Our home was cared for, our girls were happy, and we’re fairly certain they learned better manners while we were gone which raises some questions about our own management style. What really stood out was the genuine care and attention—this wasn’t just “checking in,” it was full-on VIP treatment. Visits weren’t rushed, playtime wasn’t optional, and every detail was handled like it mattered (because it does). If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and clearly loved by animals, stop looking—you’ve found them. Just be warned: your pets may start expecting this level of service from you afterward. I still haven't mastered Tammy's double-Churu-dispensing skills, and the judgment from our girls is palpable.”
About: I have experience taking care of friends cats and kittens on many occasions and know that cats have to warm up to you. I have comes across many cats with different personalities but it has never stopped me from loving them.
“Jessica was fantastic! She gave our dog, Duke, so much love and attention! She was always on time and made everything regarding our pet’s care stress free when we were away. She’s very easy to work with and reliable. Highly recommend!”

I do live with my morkie, Cinnabon who’s a sassy baby boy. And my partner has his cats, Cheesecake and Chandler Bing who are very friendly towards everyone. All my pets are healthy and on anti flea/tic medications! I work per diem as a nurse meaning my shifts are sparse and short- so I’m home 90% of the time. I love spending my free time with both cats and dogs and would love to meet yours! I have a small fenced yard that is regularly mowed and cleaned. I always replenish the water periodically. I keep my home tidy since I’m used to being around many animals at once. For baths, I either use my tub or the laundry sink basin for my own dog.

About: I am a very playful and caring person. I have had pets almost all my life, since I was 3 years old. During my 2018 summer, I was interning at a Veterinarian clinic and a part of that job was to feed, walk, and play with the animals there. Let me know if you need a dog sitter! My schedule is flexible. I usually go to the gym, run a few errands, and spend time with the pets I’m taking care of ❤️ I care for the client’s pets in their home or my home by offering they time to play outside or cuddle with them depending on their personality.
About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!
“Chunwei provided the best sitting experience I’ve had so far. She always checks in and updated me throughout all of her stay. She took the time to walk with my puppy Freya and give her the exercise that she needed, she kept up with my feeding schedule and notified me if Freya’s eating habits had changed due to her teething. Overall I couldn’t ask for anything more from a sitter she was amazing!”

I understand that I’m in the pet’s own space, and I strive to make them feel as secure and relaxed as possible. I stick to their usual routines, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime, to maintain a sense of familiarity. I pay attention to their cues and behavior, making sure to respect their personal space and comfort levels. I ensure doors and gates are securely closed to prevent any accidental escapes. To build trust, I regularly communicate with pet owners, providing updates and photos, so they know their pet is safe and happy.

About: Hello, Thank you for stopping by! My name is Jennifer. I currently have 3 kitties of my own. I do know how nerve-racking it could be leaving your pet with someone. I have left prior sitters visuals, maps, drawings when I have gone away (thank you OCD lol). I am probably a bit much but I need to know that while I'm away, my fur children are in nurturing loving hands not missing me. To say I am protective is an understatement. *I just came back to the site after having a few extensive surgeries so please do not go by the early reviews as I was only on here for a few months until I had to have surgeries - I’m doing great now :)* ***Please before you go on reading…yes, I understand my fees are higher than most. Upon meeting me, you will understand why. I will offer knowledge that may help you with your furbaby.If you are having a hard time with behavioral issues where other sitters won’t know what to do, I most likely will. The plethora of knowledge about dogs/cats/horse/fish/etc that is infinite. I may be able to offer you a couple tips that are possibly life changing. No, I do not have all the answers (if anyone says they do…you should most likely run). However, my knowledge regarding animals is far superior than the average pet sitter. I am 43 years old. I have chosen to take on this work because my heart is very into it. However, now that I am mostly home working on a project it makes it easier for me to sit for your pet. Unfortunately, boarding a doggo overnight within my home who has a lot of behavioral issues would not be a good fit for my cats nor is it fair to do this to them. If it is a mini breed or a larger vet well trained dog, we can discuss (please reach out as it can’t hurt to ask). I wouldn’t mind staying at your home on a case by case basis. If you needed me to give your pets a lot of love, adoration, full blown attention-enforce your commands that you’d like for me to withhold, have a couple of cognitive/ physical training sessions to help you with some behavioral issues/keep your pup sharp or even if it’s administering medications, etc…all your pets needs will be meet efficiently. If this is what you seek, I may be your gal. I welcome cameras in the home so that you are able to see how well your beloved companion is doing with me. I wish more people had cameras so that everyone gets to see how their pet is truly doing while you’re away! My experience with animals comes from years over time of being involved with rescue, surrounded by trainers, healers, tons and tons of self knowledge, audio books, old fashioned books, etc. I was born to hear animals and I consider it a huge gift. It is in my nature that when I am with your pet that my FULL attention is with your pet and your pet only. I myself have hired pet sitters who would sit on their phone in front of me while pet sitting and it was pretty irritating. I know the type of person I would want (and not want) watching my animals because I have been there before with kittens/cat/puppies/dogs. Another pet peeve of mine would be walking into a dog park and the owners aren't paying close attention to their dogs. Unfortunately, we live in an age where cell phones have become top priority and then the pup is put into a bad situation because of the lack of attention. I have seen it time after time and it has left me with a bad taste. This will never happen with me. If I don’t like the vibes - I don’t enter in. There is a proper way to introduce dogs and it’s not nose to nose but rather behind to behind. Dogs are not humans (well some are lol) they are dogs. They read the room very differently than how we would. I promise you wholeheartedly that this is something you will never have to worry about. You pet has my UNDIVIDED love and attention at all times on my watch. It is pertinent for your pet that I uphold and take full responsibility as your pet sitter to give them full attention the entire time they are with me. All of my pups learned their basic commands very early on. It means everything to me when a dog is speaking the same language as its owner. I wish to take your lead and follow everything precisely. When putting a dog on a "heel" command during a walk, my attention has to be two places: 1- On the pup and 2- Observant of the environment. I have fostered 2 dogs and have trained 3 dogs. I have broken the prey drive of 2 beautiful pit bulls and one Tree Walking Coonhound/Terrier dog with my cats. I have also broken anxiety of one of the dogs I was fostering. Truly it was a lot of work, time, patience, repetition and more patience but I got to learn so much about speaking dog. They teach you so many things. I had a very hard time finding someone to board my pup when I had him because I knew a bit more than they did which left me on edge. I sifted through a lot of sitters and it wasn't until I had someone teaching me something that I felt 100% confident in leaving my fur baby with them. I have worked along side with trainers and have read heaps fulls of dog language books/manuals/dvd's etc. I have been called the dog whisperer, cat whisperer/animal whisperer. I have also attended workshops for animal communication to further my education with animals. I look forward to building a career from this. I have obtained one Bachelors degree and a second Associates degree as well as obtaining my NYS license for massage therapy (for humans lol). I am very passionate about animals and have been called a healer. I am Reiki 2 Certified and do Reiki for animals. My entire heart is into this because animals don't have a voice. When I tell someone I can speak cat or dog they may look at me like I am from the funny farm but it’s true. There is a way of listening to an animal by its body language, sounds, breathing, even yawning etc. I have been clipping nails since high school of anxious pet owners pets nails, wiped out floppy ears, burrito wrapped cats for clippings, I’m able to administer medicine without a problem (there are tricks for this), brushing, you name it and I've probably done it. Anyway I can help, I am always willing if it’s for the cause of an animal. Snuggles are my favorite thing along with interactive puzzle type of games that your pups will crave if they would be so kind to join me. No job is too big for me to handle : ) Please let me know if you would like the garbage taken out, plants watered, etc. I am able to light housework if necessary. I will send a TON of pics upon your request because I know how on edge, especially first time sits could be for an owner. NOTE***Please let me know if your dog gets along with cats as this is the only way I can accept them for the safety of my own fur children as well as for the safety of your own pup*** Any information provided for your pet, I will adhere to. I always take 30 min to an hour a day for play/brush when it comes to my own. Please let me know your instructions- dog/cats likes and dislikes, allergies etc. I prefer crated pets because with this, it comes security and a lot less anxiety for your pet when used correctly and for positive reinforcement only. I like to think of it as a floating bedroom for them :) Looking forward to meeting you and your fur-baby/fur-babies soon! *Please note, yes…my fees are more than average because I am at a very advanced level when it comes to caring for you furbaby/furbabies. I would be willing to make and exception if the opportunity (especially be it someone local/within my mileage) presented itself! Thank you for carefully reading my profile. I look forward to a meet and greet with you and your fuzzy friend/s. I am currently working from home so I am pretty flexible where as time is concerned. Occasionally I will run to the store and back but it also depends on the dog so if I had to prepare myself a few days before your dogs arrival, I have no problem with this at all. I am flexible where this is concerned :) Let’s talk…maybe there is something I have missed in my profile but I try to be as descriptive as possible. I appreciate you taking the time to read everything I have written. Quite the novel, I am aware but I feel as a fellow pet owner myself, that you would want to know everything about who your pet is spending quality time with so I try to be as thorough as possible 🙂 Please see everything I have written on top as I believe I have covered all my bases where this is concerned. Thank you again for taking the time reading my full profile! Any questions I’d be happy to answer them, just please shoot me a message :)

“Vince is amazing. He put my mind at peace with just 1 meet & greet visit. It’s like Magik returned from Hogwarts University 🪄dog edition. Can’t wait to use Vincent’s services again.”
“This is our second time coming to Jose and he was wonderful with ginger. Had to extender her stay last minute by one day and he was very accommodating. We look forward to any future stays”
“Bill knows dogs! He took our rambunctious three year old & they got along great. He had a couple of dogs & we took Rossi there for a meet & greet so he could see how they got along. We took Rossi to Bill’s the next day because Rossi was treated so well. He sent photo & text updates a couple of times each day. 5 stars.”
“Cherish has watched my dog Rio two times this year and she does an excellent job. She takes care of Rio like it's her own, she sent videos and pics on regular basis. I have no complains and I would highly recommend her. I finally found someone who is right for my dog. Thank You Cherish. Sean P.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
“Another doggie stay in the books! Nervana is just the best! She cares for my babies like they are her own. She is super communicative and I always felt at ease whenever we talked. I got daily photos and videos and it felt great to see my boys happy 😊”
“I was so happy to find Yanina. I have two older dogs (an 11 year old ~50 lb retriever mix and a 12 year old ~80 lb bully mix). Normally folks are intimidated by the size with no inclination to get to know my dogs. Yanina and her hubby were so kind to my babies and treated them so well. I got some fantastic photos and videos and my dogs were smiling and so happy!”
“Courtney & Sherwood Were great with my dog Eniko. I am very pleased with their service and attention while we were away from home. They offer a safe, comfortable environment for Eniko. He was given exercise, play time, socialization and care. We appreciate the daily updates with pictures of my dog on his activities. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“I believe my pups had the most comfortable and wonderful stay at Katherine and Lucas’s! They made their home so cozy and welcoming for my dogs, who are big couch potatoes, that they felt pretty secure in a new place. Not to mention their one family (of dogs!) at a time policy which works great for anxious dogs like mine who are insecure around other dogs. Lucas and Katherine are a great couple who genuinely seem to love dogs and they sent me daily updates and photos. After a few not so stellar experience with other sitters on this app, I feel like I’ve found the perfect caregivers for my fur babies! Highly recommend!”
“Primavera was absolutely amazing with Max! From the moment she started caring for him, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about making sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She took the time to get to know Max, understand his personality, routines, and needs, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. One thing I especially appreciated was how communicative she was. She regularly sent photos and updates, letting me know how Max was doing and keeping me informed about his behavior and activities. As a dog mom, those updates meant the world to me and helped me feel connected to him even when I couldn’t be there. It’s clear that Primavera truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to provide personalized care. Knowing that Max was in such attentive and caring hands allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I would not hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. Thank you, Primavera, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! 🐾❤️”
“My furbaby was comfortable with Keirstin. He spent a day with her before his 3 nights of boarding. He was quite excited to see her again to start his boarding for which I was pleased to see. While we were away, Keirstin sent us photos and updates and she was very responsive when I asked questions about his settling in her home. Thank you Keirstin.”
“Tanacka was a pleasure to have her to take care of my dog, she is very sweet and kind, she kept me updated all the time with photos and pictures, he was treated as part of the family very kindly and with compassion I would definitely recommend her to any one looking for a kind and caring sitter for their pets”
“Grace is terrific wirh our dogs. They love being wirh her. She definitely spoils them and takes great care of them. She is very responsive. We are grateful we found her through Rover.”
“My anxious pup with a complicated medication routine was well cared for. He settled in quickly and his routine was followed as requested. Jaimie kept in good communication throughout his stay. Will happily book again!”
About: I've always loved all animals since I was a kid but have a special affinity for dogs and cats. I lost my sweet pup, Ewan, in 2019 to Hemangiocarcoma (a blood cancer) and to this day I still mourn him and can feel his presence in my life. I also lost my dear cat, Figaro, last year to natural old age causes. I'm a very good dog and cat dad and miss them terribly. In the past few years, so many friends and family have asked me to pet sit their fur babies and they always remark that they know their dog or cat is in the best possible hands with me. That they can actually relax on their trip because of how responsible and devoted I am to their pets and how much their pets adore me. Everyone has been encouraging me to sign up for Rover and now I'm finally doing it! I honestly believe Ewan and Figaro guided me here in their own way to spend time with your beloved kiddos. I look forward to getting to meet you and your pets! I work remotely from home as a story consultant and my longest sessions are around 2 hours, so I have most of the day to hang out with your fur baby! If your pet is staying at my place, they'll most likely hang out with me in the large loft area where I work. So they won't be left alone (unless they're the type that needs their space!) The minute they tell me they need to go out for a walk or really just need attention, I'm all theirs. If they're used to taking naps or sleeping on the bed at night, that also is fine by me! :) If I'm at your place, of course I'll abide by your exact rules for them. I follow instructions well and provide plenty of photo updates so you can relax and know your fur baby is in good hands!
“Lorrie is AMAZING. Trigger had the best time staying with her while we were on vacation. It was the first time we had left him with anyone other than family, and she put us totally at ease both before dropping him and the whole time he was there. She is truly a dog lover, treated Trigger like family, and provided me many updates, photos and videos to put my nervous dog mommy mind at ease. Thank you Lorrie!”
“Gio and Starry were absolutely incredible! This was our first time using Rover and they made the entire experience feel so easy, comfortable, and reassuring. They sent so many photos and thoughtful updates, which meant the world to me. I could truly see how loved and cared for Phoenix was the whole time.”
