1. Kelsey L.

“Kelsey fed and walked my two dogs while I was out of town for 4 days. We met initially for her to get to know the dogs and for me to go over their routine. When the time came for my trip, Kelsey executed all the tasks exactly as instructed. She was prompt and took great care of my dogs, even forming a bond as I could see from the daily photos. She didn’t just feed and walk them, but took the time for some play time. I will definitely use her again!”


2. Jennifer R.

“great communication, patience and care. Very trustworthy. I felt very comfortable allowing her into my home to watch my dog. I didn’t want to take him out of his comfort zone. Will definitely be using her again!”


3. Perla D.

“Punctual, reliable, friendly & communicative! :) My pup loves when Perla comes to visit.”

“Leanna was great per usual and is always a friendly face for our cat when we’re gone. We had some last minute travel changes due to the wildfires in Northern CA, and she was very accommodating and helpful. Thanks, Leanna!”

“Kelsey thank you for taking such good care of our baby …”




6. Andrea M.

“Andrea was fantastic. Made me feel comfortable about leaving my cats!! Was flexible when my plans changed and communicated details about her visits!! My boys are rescues and a little “shy”, she did great with all their quirks!”


7. Ilena S.
“You won't find a more loving pet caregiver than Ilena. Ilena showers both cats and dogs with attention and affection, making sure that they are comfortable and cozy in her care. She looks out for their every need and demonstrates a special empathy for pets that require that extra sensitivity. Your pet will be in such good hands. Ilena gets my highest recommendation.”


8. Jilli S.

“Jilli is great with my five month old puppy and senior dog. Highly recommend!”


9. Daniel V.
“Daniel is a fantastic pet caregiver. The time and attention he gave my two pit bulls while dog sitting was incredible. Long walks, hikes, ball time, dog parks, heavy scratches, baths, and movie cuddles. The next time he visited my dogs were over the moon. I had never seen them more excited and happy. 10/10”


10. Jeniffer M.


“We really appreciate, Jeniffer! She makes it possible to get away for a bit without that nagging feeling that your poor animal(s) are suffering at home alone without any care. They aren't having the best time, probably, while we're away....but Jeniffer's kindness, gentleness and care for them helps a great deal. We highly recommend her.”

About: Ive taken care of many dogs over the years and have always had a dog in the household growing up! The first dog that I’ve ever had was a dog named Maggie. Maggie was an elderly pit bull and she came from an unloving home prior to my family taking her on when I was about 5 years old. She was not as disciplined as you’d like an older dog to be, so she would have accidents all across the house and do naughty things like eat food off your plate when you weren’t looking! Understanding the life she was living before, we saw it as an honor that she was willing to get in trouble for a little fun lol. We had so much patience with her and gave her as much love as we could while she was still with us. I will always have a soft spot for pit bulls. Onto the more recent experience I’ve had, I am constantly working with dogs. I have a couple of clients that I house sit/walk for that deal with young puppies. Puppies have lots of energy and need to be treated as such. You need to have a lot of patience and understanding. When dealing with puppies you are pretty much dealing with a baby so it’s important to understand the fact they are not trained as well as a middle aged dog. Another field of dog experience I have is big energetic dogs. I walk a malamute named Luna three days a week and it definitely takes effort to control her. You can trust that I am competent enough to handle big, energetic and stubborn dogs! All the while providing your fur baby with love and care as if they were my own. I do DoorDash and Instacart (gig apps) so I have a really relaxed availability when it comes to scheduling of walks, potty breaks, feeding, etc. I can/will provide any type of service for your pet that is needed/wanted, just let me know and I can do it! Even if I’m not sure how to do it I am a fast learner that can get things done efficiently.


13. Vanessa P.

“Vanessa was great with my goldens! As always! They love her. She even cleaned up multiple messes they left in my house while I was gone and she was checking in on them. Highly recommend!!”


14. Julia K.
“Julia is the type of pet owner that will buy a doll house bed for her bunnies. Wait, she already did that. She’s the type of person to fill up the bowl with water filtered through a brita. Oops she does that already too. She’s the type of person who will spend 50 dollars a month on cilantro because one bunny prefers it over other food. Ahh hang on. She’s doing that as well. My point is that if you saw how Julia treats her own pets, I have no doubt you will be comfortable leaving yours in her care.”


15. Breann T.
“Breann is a wonderful dog mom for Berkeley, she has a golden hearth and jolly soul that makes everyone around feeling warm and accepted. Bre is always helping friends taking care of their pups when they are out of town and they always have a great time, she is responsible and will always love animals to go above and beyond for them. Highly recommended for taking care of any dogs around.”


16. Kourosh G.
“Kourosh can get in tune with the furry companions in a flash. His intuition about pets sets him apart from other pet lovers and sitters.”


17. Stephen B.

“Stephen was very kind and attentive, and he responded quickly on short notice. Great communication. I will definitely ask him to come back. Thank you, Stephen!!”


18. Ajia S.

“Ajia took care of my fur babies while I was out of the country for 6 days and I am so grateful. She sent tons of photos and had patience with me while I’m learning to navigate the rover app and communicated with me during the whole experience. Thank you! 😊”


19. Kathlene D.
About: Hello! I’m Kathlene I have been a kennel tech for many years at shelters and doggy daycares. I am currently studying Veterinary Medicine and work from home as a student so I have lots of flexibility and time to care for pets. Through my experience I leaned a lot about dog grooming, handling, training, exercising, and working with farm animals in a professional setting. I worked with almost every kind of dog from Alaskan malamutes, to Chihuahuas all of them ranging from seniors to puppies. I was regularly responsible for more than 20 dogs at a time and providing them their individually prepped meals and managing their activity. Taking up to 15+ different dogs on a walk a day. I am experienced in administering medications oral, topical, and injections. My experience goes beyond dogs and cats I have worked with all sorts of creatures. From farm animals like bison, cows, reindeer, goats, and chickens I have also worked with reptiles like snakes, lizards, and saltwater/freshwater aquarium fish. With all this experience, I’m confident I can take great care of your pets! Since I’m studying online to become a Veterinary Technician I have the flexibility to dedicate myself to petsitting full-time. Balancing my online classes with petsitting works out perfect because I can plan my study time around any pet’s schedule. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets is my top priority. With my extensive experience in pet care, including handling various temperaments and administering medications. I follow all client instructions meticulously and I will maintain open communication to keep you informed about your pet's status. By building trust through reliability and professionalism, I aim to create a comfortable and secure environment for your pets, giving you peace of mind while you're away.
