“Ivy did a wonderful job at caring for our puppy, Kuma, while we were away! Ivy was very attentive to our puppy and asked great questions before to get a good sense of his needs. I really enjoyed getting pictures of Kuma throughout his time with Ivy. I have a very anxious dog and Ivy was super patient with Kuma until he warmed up to her. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!”

About: I have worked with all dog for over 9 years, I have my own fur babies so your babies will have a play mates and never feel alone. I helped train puppies with basic skill, keep up with senior care, help owners with anything like grooming or bathing. They might come back a little spoiled with love and attention. I work from home, I dedicate myself to dog walking. I keep all pet parents updated each week regarding any changes. Can count on me during holidays, so I can give your babies the holiday spirit to spread the holiday festivities. I have two Golden Retriever's, so I constantly groom them and keep them active and happy. I also keep my home clean and choking hazard free. If your dog is not pottied trained please let me know in advance or known to be reactive please let me know as well. Since I have my business, I’m able to take the breaks is needed to take care of your babies need in the comfort of your home or visit. I respect all homes and follow rules that have been set by you as the pet parent. I give two videos; one in beginning and another in the end with Pictures. Also if you want to keep up with training I will send a video and keep you updated on their progress.
About: I’ve cared for my cousin’s dog several times, especially when his family was away. He has separation anxiety, so I’ve learned how to support him through stressful moments with patience and consistency, calmly. This experience helped me understand how important emotional care is for pets, not just physical needs. I’ve also taken the initiative to self-learn dog training techniques and have attended a few classes on positive reinforcement training. I’ve even practiced basic training with my cousin’s dog to help reinforce good habits. Growing up, I also cared for a bunny, which taught me responsibility and attention to detail, skills that translate well to dog care, too. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on making pets feel safe, loved, and understood. It’s summer break for me, so my schedule is flexible and open throughout the week. I have plenty of time each day to dedicate to pet care, whether dog walking, sitting, or just spending quality time with your pet. I’m also working on a few personal hobbies during my free time, and I thought pet care would be the perfect way to earn money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love being around animals and giving them the care and attention they deserve! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or my own space, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, like feeding schedules, walking routines, or favorite toys, so they feel secure and cared for while you're away. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure to keep everything clean and consistent for your pet. I pay close attention to doors, gates, and anything that could be a safety concern. If I’m in charge of walking, I always use secure leashes and stay alert to our surroundings to keep your pet safe and happy. Trust is important to me, and I want pet parents to feel completely at ease. I’m happy to send updates, photos, or follow any instructions you leave to ensure your pet feels right at home, even when you're not!
“Keoma to the rescue once again! My partner and I have asked her to sit our very rambunctious cat Binx more than once now, and we will definitely continue to do so. Keoma is professional, kind, has very fast response times and most importantly takes excellent care of our kitty. She really cares about animals, and Binx was so happy to see her when she arrived! He was completely relaxed and happy when we returned home, a mark of her fantastic care. Highly recommend!”
“Pearl was extremely communicative with us and super loving towards our dog. Luna instantly warmed up to her caring and bubbly personality. We needed someone who could be with Luna at all times as she has anxiety and Pearl understood the needs of a husky perfectly. She consistently sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She creates a relationship of trust with you that is necessary for leaving your furry child in the care of another. We would definitely recommend her services!”
“We had a great experience with Sally as our dog walker and sitter for Henry. She was flexible with scheduling, which made things much easier for us. Sally was attentive and caring, making sure Henry got plenty of exercise and attention. Her friendly attitude made her easy to communicate with, and we appreciated the updates she sent us while we were away. We highly recommend Sally to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Henry certainly enjoyed his time with her!”
“Titi Angie was great and extremely professional. We had her house sit Ralphie while we were out of the country and she was super responsive and communicative. Ralphie was super happy and took to her quickly, we felt so at ease with her taking care of Ralphie.”
“My dog is feisty and doesn’t get along well with nearly anyone, but she loved Sara! Very responsible and communicative in important situations. She stayed at our apartment and left it cleaner than we did! Would highly recommend!”

Josue is incredibly dependable and reliable—I always know Luna is in the best hands when I’m away. What truly stands out is the sweet bond Josue and Luna have developed. It’s genuinely heartwarming to see how excited and content she is when she’s with him. As a pet parent, nothing brings more peace of mind than knowing your fur baby is not only safe but also being treated with love and kindness. Josue's quality of care is unmatched. From daily updates to thoughtful attention to Luna's quirks and routines, he’s consistently attentive and caring. I'm so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely, and I know Luna feels the same! Thank you, Josue, for treating Luna like family. You’re the best!”

Utopia pet parents share their Rover experiences
Andrea took great care of Nala and Peggy. She was attentive to their needs, gave them lots of pets and cuddles and kept us up to date on how they were doing. She was even able to clip Peggy’s nails, which has always proven to be difficult. She left my house in impeccable condition as well, and was very respectful of my space. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her take care of my cats again.
We had a great experience with Sally as our dog walker and sitter for Henry. She was flexible with scheduling, which made things much easier for us.

We highly recommend Sally to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Henry certainly enjoyed his time with her!
Tracey did an incredible job taking care of our kitten, Poppy. She sent over frequent updates, including pictures and videos daily! She also was very understanding when Poppy had an accident, and we came home to a spotless apartment. We’d highly recommend booking Tracey for taking care of your cat!
Analucia (along with her adorable pup!) took care of our dog while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and videos of their walks and snuggle time. When we came home, our apartment was clean and our dog was healthy, happy, and utterly exhausted from all the fun. Highly recommend!
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Suraia to house sit and care for my two cats while I was traveling, and I couldn't be happier with her services. This was my first time using her, and she exceeded all my expectations. Suraia kept me updated daily with thoughtful pictures and videos, which gave me incredible peace of mind knowing my cats — and my home — were in such capable hands. Her attention to detail, care, and communication truly put me at ease, and I returned home to two happy, relaxed cats and a spotless house. I highly recommend Suraia to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. She's fantastic!
Hannah was awesome with our boys!!! We were so happy with the frequent updates and pictures, especially with 1 of the boys being a puppy and the other nervous/skiddish. Both of them warmed up to her super quickly! If there was anything she wasn’t sure of, she reached out to us to confirm. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs care for their fur babies!
