After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”
“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”

“Morgan did an awesome job taking care of my cats, Cava and Champagne, for four days. She made sure they were fed and played with, and I came back to a clean house. Highly recommend her if you need a great pet sitter!”

“Isabelle and Diego did an amazing job looking after my two cats when I was away! I stress about going on vacation longer than 3-4 nights because I miss them so much but for this trip I felt much better about being away. I met them at my apartment for a quick consult the night before I left and my cats instantly liked them which was a great sign! So cute 😁 They sent so many adorable photos with each drop in visit (including several of my cats jumping in the air and playing) and it’s obvious that they are active pet sitters! They were also cool with me leaving a Furbo treat camera out which I used at night to throw treats (not when they were over at my place lol). They also vacuumed upon my request which I really appreciate and will tip them for since my cats track litter everywhere. I will 100% use their services for any trips I take over 3-4 days if they’re available! 🥹”
“Maria took wonderful care of my cats. She was very flexible with her availability as I was waiting for a family member to be released from the hospital. I am thankful for her help.”

“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”
“Guiselle is super responsive and last minute helped watch my cat! My cat really likes her you could tell by the photos she was sending me. Will definitely be rebooking!”

“Lucy was the best cat sitter we’ve had on Rover! She was very good with communicating, sending pics, and making sure our cats were happy while we were gone. We did not worry about the cats one bit. We will be hiring her again.”
“We could not be happier with Anne! Between the quick and professional responses when we first contacted her, to Anne quickly taking care of an issue we created while we were rushing to catch a flight! (We forgot to leave food for our kitty, and needed Anne to start a day earlier than scheduled. No problem!). Communication was prompt and perfect, even over a holiday. We recommend Anne without reservation and we look forward to having her look after our pets in the future ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😸”
“Mya was amazing in taking care of my cat Klaus. She was super responsive, spent extra time with him and he seemed to love her company. I could see that she was genuinely bonding with my cat. Her notes and pictures were always super detailed and I felt like someone very responsible was cat sitting for me while I was away. My apartment was left clean and Mya followed my instructions. Overall a great experience.”
“Alexandra did a great job with my cat! She went the extra mile to help out when our apartment building shut off the water and the AC had issues coming back on, to make sure Willow stayed cool. Thank you!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Caroline is absolutely fantastic! My pup suffers from horrible separation anxiety so he needs to be sat quite often. Caroline is our go to because we can trust he’s being given the best of care. She is incredibly responsive when determining our sitting needs, very flexible and respectful of our ask not to leave our pup alone. Would highly recommend Caroline for anyone looking for a sitter in the area!”
“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered. Amy took great care of my little senior pup currently on a special diet and needing lots of attention and affection. Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”
“Donna was very warm and caring towards our dog. She was very thoughtful in ensuring our dog felt comfortable and we really appreciated it. She was also fantastic in communicating with us! She clearly loves dogs and we highly recommend her!”
“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Leila was amazing!! She took wonderful care of my dog Mila, sent updates and photos, and made the whole process stress-free. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“What a gem Caroline is — great communications and flexibility. Jayda loved her perches and chilling together. Thank you so much Caroline — highly recommended”

“Sarachai takes wonderful care of my Monti (see cute goldendoodle pic!). My dog cries with happiness as we drive up to his house and pulls me to the front door. The family is great about sending pics and letting me know how my dog is doing during the day. I am extremely comfortable with letting Monti stay. I'll continue to be a repeat customer.”
“Tali had the best day with Anya and her dog Scout! Tali was instantly so comfortable with the both of them. Anya kept me updated during the day and was very responsive and flexible. I got lots of pics and videos from her day. I felt completely at ease leaving my pup with her!”

I would 100% trust Catherine again and will definitely be booking her in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs/cats of all sizes and temperaments. I will make sure your dog/cat feels happy ad relaxed while you are away! Get ready for lots of love and playtime. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! My routines are set. I am available mostly on weekdays and weekends. I am pretty flexible when it comes to available hours. It will just depend on the client location whether I can also have availabilities early in the morning or late in the evening. I will care for your pets in my home and I am available for drop in visits. I will meet your pets first and do a walkthrough to understand what needs to be done.
“Ms. Kathrine is great! While on work travel I unexpectedly found myself needing a sitter for my girl a few times. After the first day my fur baby was nothing less than excited to spend the day with Kathrine. My baby was well taken care of. I would easily recommend Kathrine for any of her services hands down and plan to use her again in the future!”

“Our first 2 experiences with Rylee were great! She came over to walk our energetic golden retriever and he was spoiled with a walk and treats. We will be booking Rylee again!”
“Isabelle & Diego were a delight! Not only did Oliver, our 10 year old terrier, love them - but we did, too! They came over before we left to understand what was needed every day and took such good care of our boy, including managing his medication. I'd gladly rehire them and would highly recommend them.”
“Anne did a great job communicating her availability and being timely on our scheduled walks. She also followed our requests to walk certain routes and handled Biscuit's route preferences and hesitations during the walk well. I really appreciate her patience and professionalism to keeping us in the loop on GPS tracking and his status during the walk. Thanks Anne!”
“Anne did a wonderful job walking my dog, Greyson. She provided detailed updates and pictures after each walk and was really sweet and caring when interacting with Greyson. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.”
“Stacy is great! She walked my dog during the workday consistently for a few months and he was so well cared for. Stacy is super reliable and easy to reach which I always appreciated. I’m so sad to be moving out of the area as I’m sure it’ll be hard to find someone like her again.”
About: All my life, I’ve been around pets. Growing up, I raised 2 puppies of my own and was constantly walking dogs. Today, I have two cats of my own and have been taking care of cats for since college. While I was originally a “dog person,” I’ve grown to appreciate cats and finally understand them, recognizing each cat’s uniqueness. I primarily work from home and would love to take care of your pet, whether walking your dog or checking in on your cats. I’m flexible, reliable, and caring. I’m very flexible as I primarily work from home, and I am available to take care of your pet in the morning, afternoon, evenings, and late at night, on weekdays and weekends. I love catering to each pet and continuing their routines. Whether checking in on your cats or walking dogs, I’ll make sure to communicate with you for all the info needed to make your pet comfortable.
“Jen is terrific with our dog. He loves spending time with her and getting his exercise :-) Communication with Jen is clear and consistent, and she's always been on time. Already re-booked her time.”
“Lauren is an amazing dog walker! She connected with my dog immediately who is nervous around most people. Lauren is gentle and patient with my pup and always gives a detailed report of how she is doing. I really appreciate Lauren’s constant reliability and attentiveness!”
About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am going to college online. I am available during the week and some weekends! Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.
“Alexandra was awesome taking Rex for walks. She was always on time for her appointments and provided pictures and updates about the walk. She is very friendly and professional.”
“Dominique is reliable, professional and kind. He arrives rain or shine with a smile. He walks our dog for the full time and our dog comes back safe and happy. Very pleased we found Dominique.”
“Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up with two lively golden retrievers and volunteering with dogs for the past five years has given me experience with pups of all ages and personalities. Since I was 16, I’ve also cared for family and friends’ pets, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care/walks for your furry friends. My goal is to make every walk fun, safe, and tail-waggingly enjoyable! 💞 Because I work fully remote, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog walks and drop-ins into my day (If possible, I’d love to align walks to lunch time). I am also available for daytime dog sitting (always fun to have a furry coworker) and evening check-ins to make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and exercise. I love getting outside, and it’s even better with a walking buddy! I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home, and I always treat every space with the same care and respect I would my own. While my apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of their home where they feel most relaxed. I’m clean, responsible, and mindful of routines, making sure both your pup and your home are well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs all my life! I am experienced with reactive dogs as well! I am about to get a puppy myself in my home! Please consider that if you intend on boarding with me. I work remote so I am able to drop by and let your pet out/ play/ walk your pet as needed! I understand feeling guilty about letting your pet be home alone all day and I’m here to help! I also am experienced with reactive dogs too! I will be getting a puppy July 2026 as well so please take that into consideration when booking boarding. I will always be cautious of entering your home and leaving your home to prevent any type of escapes and make sure that they are content before I leave and make sure nothing is in reach to maximum safety!
“Shivani was very quick to respond to our request, and was flexible with the timing of the meet-and-greet before the booking. She gave us plenty of feedback throughout the day and took lots of pictures for us as well. Shivani also was on time for both of the walks we requested. She made the process easy for us, and we’d definitely trust her with our pups again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for a majority of my life. My friends and extended family rely on me when they go out of town. My family and I will always pick up (and house) any stray/lost dogs we see so I have experience with all types of dogs and breeds. Weekdays work best for me. My schedule is quite flexible. I deal with animals in my everyday life and i’m more than happy to meet more! I have one friendly cat and one energetic dog, with a big and spacious back yard for them. I myself am energetic so I can match any pet’s energy.

Definitely will not hesitate to book them again next time!”
