I recently hired Kathleen to look after my two cats while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Kathleen was kind, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all of my instruction perfectly and provided updates during her daily visits, which helped put my mind at ease. Kathleen ensured my cats felt comfortable and cared for— they warmed up to her quickly!. My cats were happy and healthy when I returned from my trip. I would highly recommend Kathleen!

I am delighted to recommend Sebastian for the role of a dog walker. Over the years, I have come to know Sebastian as the epitome of an excellent animal caretaker. His remarkable attention to detail, genuine passion for animals, and thoughtful approach to their well-being make him a natural at providing exceptional care for our furry companions. Having known Sebastian for many years, I have personally witnessed the love and dedication he invests in caring for his own dog. Whether meeting their physical needs or offering emotional comfort, Sebastian goes above and beyond to ensure every animal he encounters feels safe, valued, and cared for. I trust very few people to take care of my own dog, Atlas, but Sebastian is one of the rare individuals who has earned that trust without hesitation. His reliability and heartfelt commitment to animal care truly set him apart.

Being Shan’s sister in law I could not speak higher of her and recommend a better person to trust with your furry ones! Shan has watched my dog Chowder several times over the past 3 years when my husband and I are away and he absolutely adores her! Whenever Shan comes to visit he is so happy because he know she will be playing with him. Shan is a very nurturing and caring person which she shows to the animals in her life as well!

I can't say enough great things about Tyler and Echo! They watched my dog, Zaizai, for a week, and I could tell right away that Zaizai was in loving and capable hands. Tyler and Echo were fantastic with him – they took him on walks twice a day and made sure he had plenty of playtime at the park. Zaizai loves playing tug-of-war, and it was awesome that Echo and Tyler enjoyed playing with him too! They also have a fenced-in backyard, which was perfect for Zaizai to run around and burn off some energy. The space was secure, and Zaizai had a blast exploring and playing outside. They sent me multiple updates every day, with photos and videos, which made me feel so connected to Zaizai even though I was away. It was so reassuring to see him having such a great time. Echo was also wonderful with preparing Zaizai's wet food, which was super helpful. Zaizai absolutely loved staying with them, and I can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else in the future. We will definitely be back again! Thank you, Tyler and Echo, for taking such amazing care of my fur baby!

Christina has been absolutely incredible in helping care for my three dogs – Buddy, Henley and Stella Blue – over the last couple of years. From walking all three of them, to feeding them, to watching them while I’m away or running errands, she’s been consistently dependable and exceptional. My dogs are high-energy and can be a bit of a handful at times, but Christina handles them with ease, meeting their needs with professionalism, compassion, and a calm demeanor. Plus, they absolutely love hanging out and playing with her! Additionally, she’s incredibly attentive and always looks out for their well-being. While I’ve been fortunate not to experience any emergencies while they're in her care, I’ve seen how quick-thinking and level-headed Christina is, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing my dogs are in her care. I couldn’t recommend Christina more highly to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and skilled dog walker or sitter. She’s truly a natural with dogs, and I’m so grateful for the care she provides!

About: I am a professional working remotely full time with lots of flexibility. I love dogs and am around throughout the day to ensure they get the care they need. I am active and enjoy walking, and am also interested in doing leashed hikes in the woods if you are open to it. I have taken dog training classes. I do have an older dog that would need to join me on overnight sitting jobs. (A bonus playmate for your dog!) He is playful and good with other dogs. I'm happy to have dogs meet prior to ensure it is a good fit. Not only did I grow up owning nearly every animal you can imagine, Ive had my dog for five years. I have dog walked and sat other dogs with my dog present. I understand the stress of leaving your dog while traveling and am dedicated to ensuring they have the best time and you feel at ease. I am excellent at communication and will ensure you feel comfortable while away from your fur child. I'm working remotely full time so I will be around all day. I provide walks and potty breaks throughout the day to best accommodate your pets schedule. I treat every pet like it is my own. I will provide continued supervision and only do leashed walks. I'm happy to discuss what I can do to best meet you and your pups needs.

About: Pet Care Experience: As a lifelong dog lover, saying goodbye to my beloved Goldendoodle, Toby, after 11 wonderful years was incredibly difficult. While I’m not ready to adopt another dog just yet, I’m excited to channel my love for pets into providing care through Rover. With extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, I’m skilled in everything from training playful puppies to offering extra TLC for senior dogs. I’m comfortable with administering medication and providing assistance to dogs with limited mobility, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared-for in my home. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for dogs and my commitment to making them feel like family. My fenced-in yard is perfect for fun playtime and outdoor adventures, and I’m an avid fan of long, enjoyable walks. Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood stroll or a spirited run around the yard, I make sure your dog gets the exercise and attention they need. Above all, I treat every dog as part of my own family, offering a loving, secure environment where they’ll feel at home and cherished. I work from home, so I have the flexibility to provide your dog with plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My family and I are always available for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I'm used to early morning walks, even on cold, rainy days, ensuring your dog gets the exercise they need no matter the weather. Whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon playtime in the yard, or some quiet time indoors, I have the time and dedication to give your dog a loving and structured routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priority. In my home, I create a comfortable, secure environment where dogs can relax and enjoy their time with us. My fenced-in yard provides a safe space for outdoor play, and I always supervise pets during yard time to ensure they stay safe. Inside, I maintain a pet-friendly space with no hazards, and all doors and gates are securely closed to prevent escapes. I am fully committed to maintaining a trustworthy and respectful relationship with both you and your dog. I follow any special care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medication, or specific routines, to ensure your pet feels as comfortable as possible. I’m also proactive in keeping communication open, providing regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands. Whether it’s in my home or your home, I treat your pet with the same love, attention, and safety I would give my own.

About: I love and have experience with both dogs and cats! I am excited to help other animal lovers like me take care of their pets. I have a very flexible schedule right now, so I’m available pretty much any time you need! I’m an early bird so coming over in the morning won’t be any trouble at all. I am a very hands-on and energetic person, so if I am spending time with your pets, you can expect me to be running and playing right alongside them! But if they’re older or have less energy, I will be equally happy to chill with them inside and give them a lot of love.
