“We are new to the area and were quite nervous about leaving our pups with a new sitter, but Allie took all of our worries away! She was absolutely wonderful with our two snuggly bully mixes—Moby and Willow. They are not always easy to handle together on a walk and she was absolutely great with them!! We got pictures and updates twice a day, and it was clear our pups were very comfortable with her. She stayed in our apartment and it was immaculately clean when we returned. 10/10 would use her services again.”

“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”

“Jason is absolutely fantastic! So amazing with my animals and so communicative! We are looking forward to having Jason sit for us again in July for a longer trip, we know our fur babies are in good hands!”

“It was the first time for my dog to be sitted with someone he didn”t know. That brought me anxiety but Brionna in the meet and greet gave me enough confidence to hire her. Although Pelusa played hard to get the first day, they bonded very well as days passed by. I will definitely trust Brionna again to sit for Pelusa.”

“Susan took the best care of our 14 year old Boston terrier Tootsie while we were away for the weekend. She is so communicative, kind, and Tootsie absolutely loved her!! Can’t recommend her enough :) we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!!”
“Shariana took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She was very communicative and checked in regularly. She was super conscientious about our cats’ habits and needs. We felt confident that our cats would be happy and kept good company. She also left our apartment tidy and clean while she stayed at our place. Highly recommend trusting Shariana with your cats/pets.”

“Briana is always reliable, communicative, and takes more than amazing care of Oliver. Every time I come back, he is calm and happy which is tough as he runs anxious and gets stressed easily. Always grateful for Briana and her thoughtfulness when it comes to petsitting!”

About: I got my dog when I was twelve and have spent a lot of time taking care of her. Around that time I also began walking/taking care of all kinds of neighborhood dogs which I’ve continued to do over the years. Right now my schedule is very open! I am available any day for walks or drop in visits! This might change in the long term but right now I am very available. I always want to be make sure the dogs are safe. I make sure to keep a close a eye on them so that they don’t eat anything or do anything that could be bad for them.
“Wonderful care for Jax! Consistent and thoughtful updates, very cautious and tuned into care instructions, and responsive always. Will absolutely book again!”

“This was our first time having Razan watch our cat, and she was fantastic! She is proactive, considerate, and highly communicative. I especially appreciated that she took the time to meet our cat beforehand to learn how to administer his asthma inhaler. While we were away, she was attentive to all his needs and sent daily photos and updates. We returned to a clean and tidy apartment. Thank you so much, Razan!”

“Ellie had a great time with Yeisha. They played and cuddled, which is a big deal for my pup, who often takes time to warm up to new people. Looking forward to using Yeisha again soon.”


“Stav was great! She came to our house to watch our pup who's got some anxiety. She was polite, on time and very professional, will definitely be booking again!”

“I had a great experience with Prachi! She was available extremely last minute which was so helpful!! She took excellent care of my dog Nova and kept me updated with regular messages and photos which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog loved her will definitely look to book again with Prachi she was reliable and caring!”

“Jasper and I had a great experience with Jeanette and I will definitely rebook! She was kind, knowledgeable and communicative throughout the process. She even offered to stay a bit longer when my flight was delayed. Thank you for going above and beyond!”

“Tosha was great! She was very friendly and clearly very experienced with cats and dogs. We appreciated that she came over twice before our trip to meet us and the pets. She sent lots of great photos and kept us updated daily. We highly recommend Tosha as a sitter!”

“Deisi took care of our dear medically complex senior Springer Spaniel during one of her health flare-ups. We couldn't have felt more comfortable leaving her alone. Deisi sent multiple updates and pictures which was so comforting for anxious pet parents. We will use her again!”

Jessica is the absolute sweetest and took such great care of Oliver. We really appreciated her updates through the sitting and could tell Ollie was happy and well cared for. She was gracious when we had a last minute change in our travel plans. She also left the apartment in great shape. Would highly recommend to everyone!!

Allie was so kind and wonderful with my senior pup, Mr. Billy. She was very thoughtful, cheerful, and Billy appreciated her energy and engagement right away (nuzzling up with a little tail wag). I would highly recommend Allie as a Rover sitter, especially if you have dogs who require medications or have unique needs/quirks. Billy and I are so very grateful for Ms. Allie!

Ellie was absolutely amazing. It was my first time leaving my dogs, and as someone who struggles with anxiety, I was incredibly nervous. From the very beginning, Ellie not only took wonderful care of my dogs but also put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with constant messages and photos, and never once made me feel like I was asking too much. Her patience, kindness, and communication meant the world to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ellie!

Really happy with Jassica's care of Moose. She was timely and communicative. Moose was clearly happy when I got home and she took excellent care of him and my apartment. It did not go unnoticed that my apartment was just as clean and tidy as I left it! Will surely look to re-book with Jaz when possible!

Altagracia is an exceptional dog sitter whose professionalism and reliability consistently exceed expectations. She provided outstanding care for my dog, Louis, ensuring he was safe, comfortable, and well attended at all times. Her attention to detail, punctuality, and clear communication made the entire experience seamless and worry free. It is evident that she takes her responsibilities seriously and approaches her work with genuine dedication. Louis was calm, happy, and well cared for after every visit, which speaks volumes about the quality of her care. I highly recommend Altagracia to anyone seeking a responsible, trustworthy, and highly capable dog sitter. She is truly a standout professional.

Mohammed is the best! He was super flexible when my plans got rearranged. He stayed in my apartment and took after my kitties like they were his own. He sent updates and pictures every day, followed all my necessary instruction, and kept my home clean. 10/10 would book again!
