“Vanessa is fantastic! Very thorough with any directions and loves on my for babe like I would! Makes long days at work very stress free knowing Hazel is in good hands!”

“Emma from Lando Health & Wellness Pet Therapy was incredibly compassionate and attentive! She did a drop-in visit for my husky Junior. Junior instantly took a liking to her. Emma not only provided exceptional care for my dog, but also captured delightful moments through her impressive pet photography skills. I highly recommend her as a top-notch pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking!”

About: Hi! I’m Sachika, 28 years old, and I've grown up with various pets—dogs, bunnies, hamsters, and more. While this will be my first year walking other dogs, I’ve been walking my dog for years and love it! I’m thrilled to share my passion for animals and help other dogs enjoy their daily walks. I’m committed to giving each dog personalized care, ensuring they get exercise and plenty of love on every walk! I currently have a part-time job, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. As a morning person, I’m able to accommodate owners’ schedules and ensure your pet gets the care they need at a time that works for you. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe space, ensuring they have plenty of room to relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, playtime, and any special care needs they may have. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will maintain their usual environment, ensuring their comfort and familiarity while providing them with lots of attention, walks, and cuddles. I also make sure to stick to any specific instructions given by the owner for the pet's care.


5. Valerie P.

“Valerie was wonderful! She went above and beyond. I had some issues with the A/C in my unit before my booking, and she adjusted it to make sure the cat was still comfortable. Valerie also closed my windows when she noticed it was chilly. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dependable and reliable pet sitter!”

7. Jaclyn R.


“Long story short, Jaclyn is the best version of what I think Rover sitters should be. Assuming her availability matches up with my trips in the future, I will always book her again and again! Long story long: Everytime I move, I have to find a new sitter or sitting service for my two kitties. It is always an anxiety filled experience. This time, I turned to Rover. Rover wasn't offered where I used to live when I first looked (a couple years ago) but I'm so glad I now live in an area that offers it. Of course, I want to have the best sitter for a rate that won't make my kitties and I homeless in the long run. But I will always choose quality over budget. Luckily, Jaclyn fit into both categories. Before I went on vacation for a week, Jaclyn came over to meet my kitties and learn about their routine. During the meet and greet, she completely put my mind at ease. She was crawling around on the floor of my apartment trying to help me coax my nervous kitties out from under the bed. She took notes as I mentioned feeding, toys, etc. We talked for nearly an hour about my cats, her cats, our jobs, etc. I felt like she was a genuinely nice person who really, truly loves cats. Before she even left our meet and greet, I knew I was going to book her. Even though I knew Jaclyn was the best choice and that my kitties were going to be in good hands, I still get nervous before leaving for a trip. This was the first time in years that I was leaving my cats alone (no roommate now) with only a daily drop-in visit from a sitter. A new apartment, a new sitter, a new neighborhood... all while I was in a completely different country. My mama anxiety was on full blast. I left a lengthy, itemized letter detailing everything I could think of (some of it she already knew but some was new info) and setup everything Jaclyn could need for her visits. I filled their automatic wifi feeders full of dry food and made everything as simple as I could. Thankfully everything went smoothly. No emergencies and no incidents that Jaclyn couldn't handle easily on her own. She sent me two pictures every visit and notes about what she did or how the kitties were acting. I always waited anxiously for her text each night (different time zones make it harder) and as soon as she would text, I was able to relax for the evening. Once, when I noticed that the temperature was supposed to be getting high in the valley, I texted her to make sure my apartment wasn't getting too hot and she reassured me that it was still very cool inside and the kitties weren't reacting to the heat at all. She didn't seem annoyed when I messaged her out of the blue with each neurotic worry. When my flight home was canceled and I had to stay another night, she was kind enough to clean up everything one last time so I didn't have to worry about cleaning when I got home and could just hang out with my kitties. By the third visit, both kitties were really looking forward to her showing up for play time and their wet food meal. I'm pretty sure they like Jaclyn's visits so much that when I finally came home, they were confused why it wasn't her walking through the door and immediately tried to get me to play with them like she would. Haha.”


8. Anna M.


“Anna did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. My place was clean upon arrival home and the cats were happy. Anna sent daily photos and videos, I can tell my cats enjoyed playing with her. I’ll definitely re-book with Anna in the future!”


9. Alexandria W.

“Needed a last second pet sitter and Alexandria came through. Very quick and responsive communicator. Gave me peace of mind knowing my cats would have some company before an unplanned work trip. Would def book again.”


10. Yoo Jee K.

“Thank you, Yoo Jee for taking care of our dogs! Both my dogs are very strong and have a lot of energy, so they're not the easiest to handle, but Yoo Jee did a wonderful job handling them and making sure their needs were met!”


11. Sean J.

“As usual, Luna adores Sean & he was super flexible, accommodating, and communicative!”

15. Jessica H.

“Jessica was amazing! I booked her super last minute since my regular sitter could no longer do the last day I needed and she accepted. I was and AM so grateful for Jessica and her service. My girls can be very shy but she had no issues. I will definitely use her again!”


16. Elizaveta S.
“Liza is an incredibly responsible and caring pet caregiver. She has a natural connection with animals, always ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just spending quality time with pets, she goes above and beyond to meet their needs. Her attention to detail, patience, and gentle approach make her an excellent choice for any pet owner looking for a trustworthy sitter. I highly recommend Liza for anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver!”




17. Bianca B.


“Bianca was great!! My family and I were going on vacation and she was able to take care of their dogs last minute as well. Our dogs warmed up to her really quickly. She was always on schedule and if she was running late, she would always let me know. Thank you, Bianca!!”


18. Kate & Aaron D.
“Kate and Aaron are my neighbors so I see them on a daily basis. In general they are the kind of people who do everything in a way that makes you stop and think, "I need to step up my game as a grown up." I have never seen them do anything without the upmost care and attention to detail. They have watched my dog on occasions and taken care of our cats while we are out of town, and it is the same way. It's a good thing my dog isn't very big, because when I pick her up she doesn't want to leave so I have to grab her. I couldn't think of anybody who would treat your animals better, or provide a better environment for them. Can't recommend them enough.”


19. Kevin O.
“Kevin is simply awesome! I think Dolly 🐶 and Rico 😻love him more than me! He has house and animal sat for me on many occasions. Not only does he take great care of my furry kids, but he also takes excellent care of my home! While traveling internationally, my water heater blew. Kevin stayed cool, calm and collected. Did a bunch of research and tried a few simple fixes before calling me with the news. With Kevin‘s help, I was able to get a new water heater installed within 24 hours. I know not something you’d expect in a dog walking review, but I was so impressed with how he handled himself I would be remiss not to mention it. Kevin gets 5 stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and all of our thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.”


20. Charlotte M.
“Charlotte is a wonderful petsitter. She was on time, great with my cats (one of whom is a grouch and can be difficult), and communicated regularly with me about how my animals were doing. She has a wonderful energy, which translates well to petsitting, and was completely professional from beginning to end. I will absolutely be hiring her in the future to look after my cats while I'm away.”
