“Karen clearly enjoys giving an attentive and supportive care to her furry charges. I know that Runi had a wonderful time during the two weeks I was traveling. I saw lots of pictures every day of him playing with other dogs, walking contentedly on outings, taking his meals and even sometimes sleeping. Indeed, I think Runi misses Karen and I know he will greet her cheerfully on his next stay”
“Sujan went above and beyond to take excellent care of my Paco boy! I love that he believes in a fresh diet. Paco seemed very content when I picked him up, and Sujan kept me informed daily on his care. I will always book with Sujan in the future.”
“Musa and his family was amazing to our 1 year old cat Dooly. My fiance and I were abroad for a little over two weeks but we felt completely at ease with Dooly’s care, thanks to Musa. The pictures that we received made it quite evident that Dooly was making himself VERY comfortable. He is a bit of a sensitive boy but he was snuggling up to Musa and his family in just a matter of days. My fiance and I were jealous 🤣 Thanks for everything Musa! We had an insanely busy trip and knowing that Dooly was in great hands allowed for us to focus on family reunions and wedding prep. We appreciate you and your family immensely!!”
“Gail is awesome! I had a last minute work trip and had to find a sitter basically the day before and she was so incredibly accommodating to watch my dog. She sent me updates multiple times a day including pictures and video. Will definitely be using Gail again :)”
“Leslie is the ultimate dog host. Theo was loved from the moment he entered her home. Leslie gave Theo so much attention and took the time to get to know his habits and needs. The daily photos and videos and summary of activities allowed me to have a window into his time while I was away. I never had a moments worry. Theo received so much love - Leslie is the absolute best and Theo will be back!”
“We are so grateful to Shiva for taking such wonderful care of our Frenchie, Arya! 🐾 From the moment we met Shiva, we felt completely comfortable leaving Arya in her care. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and thorough, making sure every detail of Arya’s care and routine was taken care of. Shiva was thoughtful about everything—from feeding and walks to making sure Arya was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind, and it was clear that Arya was in wonderful hands. We came home to a very happy pup, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We highly recommend Shiva to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, thorough, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely be asking her to look after Arya again! ❤️”
“Lisa is the best! Our little guy stayed with Lisa for 10 days -- she spoiled him with lots of walks and belly rubs. Lisa keeps you updated throughout the visit which allows you to rest easy that your fur baby is happy and healthy.”
“My dog always has a great time with Ron. He takes her on multiple walks each day, socializes her, and is very attentive to her needs. He noticed a sore on one of her feet and proactively offered to take her to our vet. We have a lot of peace of mind when he’s caring for her.”
“Shi Ming provided excellent care for my dog, Chase. He was happy, well‑looked‑after, and clearly enjoyed his time there. Daily photo/video updates were a great touch and kept me informed throughout his stay. I would confidently recommend Shi Ming’s boarding services.”
“Carla and family is amazing. I boarded biscuit in the last minute and they treated biscuit as their own dog. Biscuit had an amazing time there and Carla sent me a lot of pictures and updates on biscuit. I will highly recommend Carla !!”
“Jose took great care of our dog. He was incredibly responsive and sent daily photos which was very helpful since our little dog was staying with him for the first time. We will definitely call on Jose to sit for our dog again!”
“Aly took such good care of Duffy! She provided us daily updates and photos of him. We can tell he had a great time with Aly! We’re so glad to found such a trustworthy babysitter for Duffy!”
“Veronica took very good care of our dog while we were away on a holiday. Our dog was very happy with her and had company to play with! I would definitely return to Veronica for our pet-sitting needs.”
“Rachel was an amazing sitter for our chocolate lab Jax. She had us come over for a meet and greet, and he immediately hit it off with her angel pup, Stella. Rachel updated me throughout the day and gave me good feedback on how my pup was during his stay. It was my first time leaving him with someone who was not family, and I could not recommend someone better to trust your pup with. 10/10, thank you so much!”
“John and Sonia were great. John sent me updates and photos of how Wendy was doing through out her stay with him, and I could see that she was enjoying her time with John and Sonia. I am glad I found him on Rover. I won't hesitate to entrust Wendy under his care.”

“Amanda took care of my cat while I was away and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She did an outstanding job, ensuring my cat was well fed, comfortable, and happy. Amanda provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jessica was a great drop-in sitter. We'd definitely book her again. Every visit was accompanied with an informative and fun message about the cats, the visit, the various tasks done, and the state of the house. Jessica sent pictures of the cats with every visit, and between the note and the pictures, it helped a lot being separated from our pets! Everything looked great when we got back, and our cats are happy and healthy. Thanks, Jessica!”
“Tricia was wonderful with our cat. She was extremely attentive to her care instructions and even asked some questions I wouldn’t have thought to address. She sent great pictures to show that the cat was happy, healthy, and well looked after. I would not hesitate to request for her help again.”
“Maeghan does a great job taking care of my cat! She’s punctual, reliable and truly takes an interest in the well being of your pet. I’ve had Maeghan take of my cat 4 times. This past winter, somehow she made it to my house during a severe snow storm to feed my cat! That’s commitment.”
“Another great experience with Jake! Not only did he take great care of our cat Arthur while we were away, he also helped us out by bringing in one of our packages that had delivered after we had already left. He also was willing to watch Arthur again under short notice, we are extremely grateful! We will be looking forward to working with him again :)”
“Leah was very helpful and the communication went smoothly. She took good care of our kitties. She gave the kitties their wet food and supplements, as well as some play time.”
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds, sizes, ages, and behaviors, your dog(s) will feel right at home with my care. Neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me to walk, feed, house sit, and more for their fur babies. I am flexible and available starting in the early morning into the evening, to help care for your pup. As well as overnight help too! To ensure your dog's comfort and safety, I will ask you for helpful notes and directions about care, walk, and meal preferences, as well as any house rules I should be aware of. I'm responsible, timely, and always aware of my surroundings, ensuring your dog and house's safety is top priority.
“Sierra took great care of our three cats. One even liked her enough to let her pet him! She communicated well with us and we felt our cats were in good hands when she came over.”
“Megan was an amazing caretaker for my cat while I was out of town for the weekend! My cat was very happy and calm when I came home, it was clear she was well taken care of and cared for. Thank you Megan!”
“Abigail was a wonderful Petsitter! She was so communicative and easy to work with. I felt very reassured that my cat was in good hands! I would have no hesitation booking her again.”
“Christine did a great job taking care of my cat! She provided updates and pictures even though my cat stayed hidden (he's a bit of a shy guy). Would definitely use her to keep an eye on things again!”
“Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future”
“Katherine did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. One is special needs and some sitters have struggled with giving him his meds, but not Katherine. She gave timely updates and was very communicative. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future.”
“Asher was absolutely amazing and so incredibly patient with my cat who can experience extreme separation anxiety. Every care step was followed and multiple pictures per visit were provided, leaving me fully at ease that my precious baby was being taken care of in the same way that I would have. Absolutely would love and fully plan to book again in the future!!”

“Toby had a wonderful time with Shiyi, Tyler, and Toto! Shiyi and Tyler were very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of Toby :) Toto was an awesome playmate as well.”
“Highly recommend Kiran. We were able to do a meet and greet prior to make sure our dogs felt comfortable and got along. We were sent pictures and videos throughout the day which made us so happy to see how at home our pup had made herself, and how welcomed she was into their home. I’m so happy to have had Penny cared by Kiran and will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
“Carla and her family were really sweet and loving they took great care of my puppy and gave her a lot of love. They even provided a crate for me. I would definitely book them again whenever needed.”
“I recommend Loreen to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter! She made my dog extremely comfortable and was able to accommodate to our last minute time changes. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Tofu the next time I’m out of town!”
“My dog, Aspen, had a great day with Michelle and doggy friends. I rarely leave Aspen with sitters but she was so happy when I picked her up and napped the entire way home. Michelle was great about sending updates throughout the day. We’ll be going back!”
“Jane was amazing. She did more than expected and beyond. I got daily photos and updates. Her daycare space is so beautiful. My dog Maxx had such a great time there. She took extra care of him. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Jane.”
“Shelley was a great sitter. Last minute, a day before I needed a sitter, Shelley stepped up to help me. She has a house set up for the dogs she sits. Nice bed, toys and open space. Shelley also took my 5 month old Golden on 4 walks. That was awesome for active Golden Retriever.”
“When faced with a sudden family emergency, I reached out to Helena & Nathan trying to find a place for my boy, Jackson, for the day. H&N responded within minutes and we were able to work out day care for the day. I can't tell you how grateful I felt knowing that Jackson would be well cared for while I attended to my own family's needs. H&N kept me posted with plenty of photos throughout the day - and those photos really lifted my spirits when we ended up having to put a beloved family cat to sleep. I really can't thank them enough for the support and care they provided...to both me and Jackson. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kitty. You were my father's best friend and brought love and laughter into all of our lives. We'll miss you.”
“Devora is so kind and accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Trusting your most precious pet with a stranger can be difficult but she was assuring, communicative, kept me updated and I really felt my senior dog with many needs felt comfortable and safe in her care. Many other dog care options have many dogs of mixed sizes and activity levels in large areas where they can play and be very active. But a small, more fragile dog really needs a particular place where they can be safe and comfortable, so Devora’s home really was a perfect fit for this niche that put my mind at ease and allowed my dog to have a stable space he could relax without anxiety at the times we weren’t able to take him along with us. I would absolutely recommend Devora for any pet care services she offers.”
“Fritz always has the best time with ManYee and Hannah. It’s a good feeling to see him run to the elevator with her, not even looking back. And I always know he’s in the best care possible!”
“My husband and I were in DC for the weekend and had to check out of our hotel at 11am but wanted to still explore the city a bit before heading home. We needed somewhere for our dog iris to spend the day. We dropped her off at Prisila’s house while we went into DC. Prisila was very responsive and was flexible with drop off and pick times. The whole process was easy and convenient! If we come back to the city we would definitely let iris go over there again.”

About: I currently work at a dog rescue. I volunteered as a dog washer at the humane society for a year. I pet sat relatives dogs in their home. I know how to respect dogs boundaries. Right now my schedule is somewhat flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am unavailable on Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 4pm to 730pm. I am respectful of everyone’s home and treat it how I’d want a pet sitter to treat my own. I know the signs to take it slow with dogs and cats.
“Anna did great with Indy. She met him before his walk which made both of us comfortable. Each day Anna walked him I came home to a relaxed and happy golden retriever. Definitely recommend her and will request her again.”
“Tricia was great. This was her first week meeting and walking our male Doberman while we were away. She bonded with him immediately, was eager to learn his cues, and was always prompt and courteous. I felt I could trust her completely with him. She kept us updated about her arrival times, and after just two days of getting to know her, he was clearly looking forward to their walks.”
“Maeghan has been so great to work with, and Tiger took to her right away! I appreciate her responsiveness and flexibility, especially with the strange weather recently.”
“Francisco is an outstanding dog walker! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure our dog is well cared for. After every walk, he communicates with me and provides thoughtful updates about how everything went, including anything he noticed that I should be aware of. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail and genuine care. During our last walk, it started raining, and he reached out to ask where he could find a towel so he could dry our dog off before leaving. That level of thoughtfulness meant a lot to me and showed how much he truly cares about the pets he looks after. I highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker. Your pet will be in great hands!”
About: I’ve been taken care of pets since the first one came into my household, cats mostly but I have experience with dogs and birds too! I currently work remote so I’m free most of the day everyday, which allows me to have more than enough time for all my furry friends! In a clients home I like to treat the pets as if I’m the owner myself, with respect, love and kindness as much as possible
“Morgan was so great with Brownie! She was very attentive in the instructions and details I provided for the walk, and also sent cute photos! I would love to have her walk Brownie again.”
“Alice was a wonderful dog walker. Her attention to details on how giving care for your pup will be notch. She was also very responsive and good with communication leaving you worry free regarding the care of your dog. Alice was very punctual and very attentive. My do definitely enjoyed and appreciate her company during visits. I highly recommend her assistance and we personally will definitely re-book her again!”
About: Calendar is currently up to date through June 2026! Growing up we had outdoor cats, until a tiny 5lb chihuahua came around and stole our hearts. We had her for 15 resilient years. I went on to foster a handful of dogs through my college years at a local rescue.I then helped my roommate from 2018 to 2020, Rover pets until we went our separate ways and I adopted the sweetest 10 year old pup, Rocky. We had 2 wonderful years together until my boyfriend and I had to unexpectedly put her down in September 2022. Love found it’s way back into our hearts a few months later; when we met our new pup Ozzy. He has brought so much joy and energy into our home. I am WFH M-T-Th-F and available most weekends! I have a few meetings a week, but the rest of my work is project based. This makes it so I can stop in for a quick walk, or just to hang for a bit relatively easily. I can also work from your home and spend some time with your pet if they require more one on one time. When doing in-house stays, drop-ins, and walks I will always be respectful of your space and your home. I am very flexible and will follow any instructions you asks for while I’m taking care of your pup.

“Christine was reliable, punctual, and easy to communicate with. She was always professional and kept me informed when needed. I appreciated her help walking Simba, and the experience was smooth and dependable. I would recommend Christine to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.”
“Marley was amazing! I was gone for almost 5 days and have a very reactive girl dog and relatively chill boy dog. She took amazing care of them and sent so many updates. I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. It means so much to have people watch and care for your pets like they are their own!”

“My family is so grateful we found Jennifer. Our dog is high needs, he takes medication morning and night. He’s also a finicky eater, especially when away from home. Jennifer took excellent care of him for the week we were away. Often updating on his medicine, giving lots of love and cuddles and sending photos ( my son’s favorite seeing that his best friend was being well taken care of). Jennifer is easy to communicate with, welcoming and very responsible- will definitely ask her to watch my dog again.”

We were informed immediately and we figured out a solution followed by close monitoring. Our dog is fine and I will have no hesitation to book again with Gilbert.”
“Alisha was such a great host for my dog while I was away on vacation. She was very accommodating to some of my last minute trip changes.
