“Khaing is a wonderful and amazing cat sitter! I had just taken in a cat 2 days before a destination wedding for several days so was on a really tight and stressful schedule. My cat didn't want to get in the carrier so Khaing was kind enough to get him from our apartment the next day. I'm so grateful for her patience and care! She even gifted my cat a banana toy after she realized how much he loves it! Great communication: she was very attentive and responsive to messages. There were constant picture updates. She also asked permission to give snacks. I would definitely recommend Khaing to any cat parent looking for a sitter for the first time, especially first time cat parent like myself!”
“I have used Rover for several years and have had some really good providers. However Juliana, Cooper, and Betty Boop are amazing and my Pup felt right at home. I can honestly say I have found Bubblez new home away from home. I can now travel and not get anxiety leaving my Fur baby. Juliana is warm, caring and loved my Pup as if she were her own. Bubblez did not come home disheveled which made me feel much better. I highly recommend Juliana! ❤️”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”

“What an amazing dog sitter! It’s clear our puppy loved her time with Donte; shes been a little mopey since she’s been back home lol Donte would make sure to give us a peace of mind since it was our first time boarding our puppy girl; he made sure to send us pictures and videos of our pup while we were away. Very good communicator and we hope to have him as our dog sitter in the future! Highly recommend Donte!”

About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets.

I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.
“Rachel did a wonderful job. We have four cats, one of which requires twice daily insulin injections. He is also very shy. Despite this demand, Rachel was not deterred and ensured that Duncan got his insulin injections every time. She was thorough and attentive to detail and bonded with all the cats.”
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
“Breanna is in a word, great. Gave me detailed updates each day taking care of my cat. Pictures showing me how much food he was eating. I felt so comfortable knowing he was getting such good attention. I would absolutely book Breanna again”
“Ana was absolutely incredible. I’m so grateful for her. She took care of our elderly, diabetic cat Hannah (who also has CKD) while my partner and I were away. Ana expertly administered the plethora of medications (oral and injectable) and checked Hannah’s blood glucose via glucometer. She was also extremely patient when feeding her and cleaned up after Hannah had a couple accidents in her bed. I was especially appreciative of Ana’s flexibility and attention to detail when Hannah’s needs changed shortly before my trip after we had booked. Ana was very communicative as well and sent us plenty of updates and pics during her check-ins. I would recommend Ana to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter who can manage complex cats like my own. A million thank you’s to Ana and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Absolutely amazing from start to finish! She took the time to do a meet and greet to meet our goldendoodle peaches. Asked questions about how we were transitioning her kibble and gave loving care to our puppy while we were away at work. Her reports are detailed with videos and pictures of all the fun they had and she even offered to clean my floors when they got dirty from the salt on our sidewalk from the snow storm we had last week. You will not regret booking her!”
“I left my cat, Leo, with Autumn for 7 days, and when I returned, I was pleasantly surprised. Leo looked beautiful and well cared for, as if he had just come from a grooming appointment. Autumn did a wonderful job taking care of him. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Paz was very responsible and timely. She showed kindness to the cats, cleaned up after them, made sure they had food and water. One of my cats needs a medicated eye-drop regularly and Paz was confident in her ability to administer the eye-drop. I would hire her again.”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of cats, sick, disabled, crazy gingers, shy ones... and I have never ever met a feline I haven't loved! I used to foster cats and kittens for a very long time, and I just love them oh so very much!
About: I would do this for free is love was a currency everywhere else. I have taken care of cats my whole life; have become professional just recently. I understand cats have their own personalities, and that has to be respected. My priority is to provide safety, care, and compassion through communication, empathy, and understanding.
“Christina is wonderful. I recommend her without hesitation. She took care of my cats and my home when was gone. Great communication. I have a cat that needs meds everyday and she took care of that. I'll gladly book her again.”
About: My love affair with cats started in childhood and has continued throughout my entire life. I've been a dedicated cat parent for 25+years, having shared my home with multiple feline companions of various breeds and personalities – from playful kittens to calm seniors. This lifelong experience has taught me everything from decoding subtle purrs and meows to understanding unique dietary needs and creating a safe, stimulating environment. I'm adept at everything from meticulous litter box care and playful enrichment to gentle medication administration and providing comforting companionship.
About: Hi there! 🐾 My partner and I both grew up around dogs, have had our own dogs, and are foster dog parents. We'd love the opportunity to cuddle and take the very best care of your pup. Think of us as your dog's godparents! We know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies. We would love to ease that worry for you and send photos/videos and keep you updated throughout the stay! We both work from home so we will stay with your pet. With our flexible schedule, we'll be able to keep to your dog's normal routine and schedule with walks, potty, meal time, and play time! We have crates, beds, and plenty of treats and toys. We also have a huge fenced-in yard where we can play fetch and run around. I believe dogs need to be stimulated mentally and physically. In addition to getting good exercise through daily walks, I also have lots of toys and balls, sniff mats, lick mats, and food puzzles. I also enjoy training dogs so your dog may come home having learned a new trick!

“I had a wonderful experience with Saya and David while they cared for my miniature dachshund, Astro, for 3 days of daycare. Even before meeting him, they took the time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure they understood his routine, personality, and needs. Throughout his stay, they were incredibly communicative, sending photos and videos that gave me peace of mind and showed just how much fun he was having. It was clear that Astro received plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care (by the second morning, he ran right into their house because he was so excited to see them again)! They were also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything convenient around my work schedule. I truly felt that Astro was treated like part of their family. I highly recommend Saya and David to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters, and I will absolutely be booking with them again!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.

“Nicole saved us when my sitter cancelled last minute. Meeko and Eevee were totally comfortable with her and she sent pictures as they settled in and on their walk. They had a great time. We would definitely pick her next time we are local!”
“Linda took excellent care of Finn! She places a high emphasis on safety and making sure dogs get along, which made us feel very comfortable leaving Finn in her care. She communicated often and sent pictures and videos. Her dog Pearl is also very sweet and lovely. We would be happy to leave our dog in her care again!”

About: Hi, I'm Kaylee! I have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets and genuinely love working with animals. I currently offer dog walking, cat sitting, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I've owned cats my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, as well as a large, energetic black lab. Because of that, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who pull on leash, are high energy, reactive, nervous, or still learning their manners. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for birds. I've owned parakeets and currently own a cockatiel. I'm also comfortable caring for small pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs and am happy to follow detailed care instructions to keep them comfortable and safe. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for most morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I care for pets in their own homes so they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, litter box cleaning, or simply some extra attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I always send detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a good amount of time on my hands. Most days are open in the morning, afternoon, and evening except Wednesday and Friday evenings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress free. I stick to your routine, handle walks, feeding, and playtime, and make sure they get lots of attention. I also send updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 10 years. I helped raise my family’s dog and then got a puppy of my own at the end of 2023! I’m a very active person and love walking, so I am looking forward to exploring new places with new companions :) My schedule during the day is very open right now, looking to fill it with lots of walks and games of fetch! My weekends and evenings tend to be a bit busier, but I can accommodate special requests if you let me know in advance! I’m happy to provide what ever care your dog needs in your home! Whether that is walks or simple play and pet time, I’m happy to be there.
About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.
About: Hi there! 🐾 My partner and I both grew up around dogs, have had our own dogs, and are foster dog parents. We'd love the opportunity to cuddle and take the very best care of your pup. Think of us as your dog's godparents! We know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies. We would love to ease that worry for you and send photos/videos and keep you updated throughout the stay!

I also enjoy training dogs so your dog may come home having learned a new trick!
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
“Kim was awesome I needed a last minute dog walker and she responded right away. She was very thoughtful and considerate asking questions about my dog. She kept me notified and sent pictures and she gad a great disposition and personality!! I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and overnight care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s high-energy playtime, structured routines, or gentle care for shy or older dogs. I’m also comfortable following specific instructions, administering basic care, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to your pets. I’m available most weekdays during the day and early afternoons, as well as weekends before and after my shifts. I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get consistent attention, walks, and playtime. I’m also open to working with your routine to make things as smooth as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and calm environment, whether in my home or yours.

About: Hello, My name Twanakay T., and I am 32 years old. While I don't currently have any pets of my own besides my fish tank, I grew up in a household with cats and dogs, so I have plenty of experience caring for animals. I had a cat named Jenny who lived with me from childhood until I was 18, and my father has a dog named Kingston. He can be quite a handful, but we are always patient with him, and I will bring that same patience to caring for your pets. I’ve also had a variety of pets over the years, including a rat I bought on a whim and a bunny who was quite elusive! I am open to learning exactly how you would like your pets to be cared for, so please let me know your preferences and schedule, and I will do my best to adhere to them. Thank you for considering me!
