“Katie is amazing, and we are so glad we found her! She has been doing drop-in visits with our dog Summer twice a week for a couple of months. Katie seems to genuinely care for Summer, and she recognizes how sweet and gentle Summer is (despite being dog reactive outside!). We love seeing the pics Katie shares from her visits, and we also appreciate how communicative and flexible she is with schedule changes. We are so thankful we have someone we can trust to take great care of our pup!”
“Kate was incredible. She was super communicative and did a great job taking care of our fur baby ❤️ it’s great to be able to enjoy leaving town knowing our doggo will be well taken care of!”
“Stephanie was great, she watched my two cats for a few weeks, on top of the regular food/water/litter checks she also gave each cat attention at each visit. Both of my cats were calm and collected when I got home which has never happened when I’ve had other folks watch my cats when I’m out of town. 10/10!”
“Ravilia took great care of my two cats. She follow our instructions and made sure they were fed and well taken care while we were away. She also cleaned up the mess my cats like to make when they eat or use the litter box which other sitters tend to ignore and I always come back to a mess. I appreciate she took the time to clean up.”
“Ching-Chi did a great job setting my cat! Highly recommended!!! Besides keeping my cat’s water food and litter well supplied and clean, she played with my cat every time and helped with the trash bin while we are absent. I will definitely book her services again for my next trip!”
“Sejla is amazing! She took excellent care of my kitty and sent comprehensive updates each visit. My cat is a big people kitty, so I always worry about her when I leave. It was a relief to know she was in such good hands with Sejla.”
“Li took fantastic care of my two cats! She sent daily updates with photos and information about the visit and was very proactive about checking that everything was as it should be. She worked well with the cats and got them to trust her and respond with affection despite being a new person to them. It is reassuring to have someone like Li taking care of them when I can't be there!”
About: Between my family’s dogs and the dogs of family/friends, I’ve been taking care of them for 10 years. I have experience with caring for different breeds and different dog sizes. One of my dogs was adopted so I understand the level of care of an anxious and scared animal as well. I work part time with a set time off so I’ll have consistent times of availability throughout the week to fit you and your pet’s needs I’ll be really careful and respectful to a client’s home and more importantly a pet’s environment. I want to make sure that everyone is comfortable
“Elena was great! We needed a last minute sitter for our two cats and Elena was happy to help! She was very responsive and from the pictures we received we could tell our cats loved her. Highly recommend!”
About: Welcome to my pet sitting service! As a sitter I have over 9 years of experience caring for a variety of pets. I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment for your family members. As a former dog mom I have over 20 years of experience, and years of experience fostering stray cats in Brazil. I offer daily walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of affection. My home is pet friendly, with a secure outdoor space where dogs can run and play. I also provide cozy areas for cats to lounge and explore. As a former pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy. That’s why I prioritize open communication, sending regular updates and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in good hands. Please note: I have children who are kind, respectful, and experienced around animals. They enjoy interacting with pets - playing fetch or engaging with playful cats using toys. Also, they are happy to give space to pets who prefer a calm and quiet environment. Whether you need a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, I’m here to provide the care and attention your pet deserves. I look forward to becoming your trusted pet sitter :) I'm a stay-at-home mom with plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles. I do ask that pets are comfortable around children, as I have a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old at home. Our family loves going on walks, and we have a fenced backyard for the safety of the dogs and our children. They are welcome in and out of the house.
“Selena has been amazing with my 10-week-old puppy! 🐶💕 I booked repeated 30-minute drop-ins while I’m at work, and the first week has gone so smoothly. She followed all instructions and showed so much love and care. She even suggested a bath when she noticed some scratching—super helpful advice! I feel totally at ease knowing my puppy is in such good hands. 🐾💛”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. I have my own Jindo mix dog which we adopted during Covid. I have a huge backyard where your dog can roam around and also welcome to stay inside my home. I have 3 kids that love dogs as well. I stay at home and can be available to walk your dog 2-3 times a day. Can also administer meds and confident with pets. Can also be playful and take them to the dog park. Will take care of your dog in my home and let them go in and out. Whatever makes them feel comfortable will be my biggest priority.
About: In 2024, my beloved golden retriever passed away from cancer. Since then, I have not been ready for my own pet, but I have been wanting to slowly get back into caring and taking care of a dog. Prior to my own pet, I have dog sat for 5 years, taking care of 3 month old puppies to 6 year old corgi's. I am excited to share my love for pets with taking care of your beloved and precious family members. I'll make sure to take care of your pet like it's my own. I work early hours and can start walking or looking after your pet around 3pm! I will ensure all of your dog needs are at the forefront of my schedule. I can house your pet in my apartment with little to no distractions. I have a dog park nearby to promote socialization, or there are many parks around my neighborhood where I can take your pet to release their energy.
About: My name is Connor. And I am not gonna sell you like these other profiles on my previous experience with dogs. I'm gonna let your pooch speak for themselves. I'm the human that gives a voice to those who can't speak. My gift is with animals. Especially the canine species. A proud dog papa myself. I have always loved dogs. I’ve been a dog walker for other apps. Taking an opportunity now that I’ve manifested an incredible apartment on the water to share the space with other little furry babies. Currently I work part time and part time at home so plenty of time to play or walk your fur babies. I love where I live and so does my lil dog. So I thought what a great way to celebrate this place by allowing others to enjoy it. I live super close to a dog park. I’ve been the proud papa of a rambunctious terrier mix for 10 plus years plus I’ve done my fair share of Walking for an App called Wag where I did dog walking on a regular. Now I’ve got a place of my own. My work is flexible and so I can book and take care of your fur baby very easily. I have a play pen medium size I keep on the outside patio but the little guys can come in an out as they please. I’ve got a grass pad on the patio. And I can also take several potty breaks outside if necessary.
“Donna was a blessing to our dog and our family. She is an excellent communicator and took wonderful care of our dog for one day. We had peace of mind knowing our prescious dog was in such caring hands while we were away.”
About: Growing up between the city and the countryside, I was surrounded by animals from an early age. Caring for animals wasn't just a responsibility—it was a natural part of my daily life and something I genuinely loved. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal's unique personality and needs. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, especially when their family is away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or somewhere in between, I take the time to build trust and provide personalized care. My calm, nurturing nature helps animals feel at ease, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part time and my schedule is flexible allowing me to adjust it. I have my own photo and video production business for last 20 years and this gave me experience among wide variety of clients, including the furry ones. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet's needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, companionship, and maintaining familiar routines to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free.

Debbie was friendly, easy going, and most importantly, experienced. She was a professional through and through. As I am sure any pet owner can appreciate, it’s a little scary leaving our fur babies behind but when someone goes out of their way to assure you that they will show them love and care, you hope and trust that they will do just that. Debbie sent me videos and photos literally twice a day, and provided a little extra attention to details like making sure my senior dog was able to get up on his favorite couch to watch passersby when it became obvious he was struggling at one point. I would highly recommend Debbie.
Anna is a super nice person — kind and loving. She dropped in every other day for my cat while I was out of town, whom was in great shape by the time I got back. She also helped water the plants I had. Overall great experience with Anna and will definitely book her again!
Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby
This was my first experience using Rover, and I am so happy that I found Sydney. From the moment I contacted her, she was punctual, kind, and professional. She immediately connected with my cat, which gave me great peace of mind. The photos and updates she sent showed a happy and relaxed cat, and it was clear that he was receiving excellent care. I am truly grateful for the attention, kindness, and dedication Sydney showed throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend her and would gladly book with her again.
Sydney was lovely! She came the day before to meet birdie and familiarize herself with my place, which was greatly appreciated. Sydney sent me photos of birdie that made it obvious birdie loved her time with Sydney. I don’t trust many people with birdie, but I trust Sydney. I will definitely book again!
Yue is super patient and takes great care of my cat. She’s also very thoughtful as she noticed the water fountain needed to be refilled and cleaned my cat’s pukes without being asked. I feel much more at ease knowing my cat is in such good hands when I’m away 😊
Brianna was absolutely incredible taking care of our two kittens during our first trip away from them! She was kind, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared so much about making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were gone. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. We came home to two very happy kittens, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Carissa was a great catsitter for our two cats while we were away from home for a few weeks. She was very caring to our cats and was consistent in her text and picture updates to us every day. Carissa was thorough in her following of our instructions to care for our cats, and most importantly her friendly demeanor created an environment where our cats quickly became comfortable and friendly with Carissa. This caring and kind attitude was very much appreciated by our cats and they loved her affectionateness and willingness to play with them for their exercise and enjoyment while we were away from home for a period. If we leave our home again, we would definitely hire Carissa again. We strongly recommend her as a catsitter who is not only experienced in animal care but also a kind and friendly person who can naturally get along with any animal.
