“Katalina gave us great peace of mind watching our dog Avery. She gave regular updates and pictures of our pup, and she was clear and friendly in her communication. Such a professional who wants to make sure your fur baby is taken care ofb”

“Gabby was so great with our dogs - we couldn't have asked for anyone better! I get nervous every time we have to leave them, but as soon as I met Gabby I knew they'd be in great hands! Both of our dogs have their own quirks and can be a little dog (and squirrel!) reactive when on a leash, but she assured us that it wasn't a problem at all! She sent us pictures daily and our dogs always looked perfectly happy and content. She even left two big dog cookies for the dogs when she left - so thoughtful! I would highly recommend Gabby - we certainly plan to use her again!”

“Kat was awesome! My fur babies were well loved & cared for, & I received daily updates & pictures. Will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”

Hadley V.

“Cristian was awesome. Very communicative and asked all the right questions before booking and updated us frequently with what was going on with our dog. He went above and beyond and took him for an extra walk and feed when our flight was delayed for 4 hours. I’ll definitely book him again!”

Jessica W.

“Artiss was amazing! She was able to squeeze me in last minute when I really needed someone to watch my dog, and I’m so grateful she did. Communication was great from start to finish, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated how accommodating and dependable she was. I would definitely book with Artiss again! 10/10 would Recommend.”

About: I’ve worked with young kids and dogs for years. I babysit and petsit in people’s homes and I have trained my seven year old dog. I also have experience with cats and giving them space while letting them warm up to me. On weekdays I work full-time until 4pm and then I’m all free to play with your pets or feed them. Weekends I’m free all day to properly care for your pets. I have a fenced grass front yard and a 7 year old mini schnauzer if your pet is okay with socializing, but not necessary for house sitting or walking.

About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I always strive for a 5-star experience, but my top priority will always be the safety of the pets in my care. I chose to refuse a request to take a cat outside without a harness, as the flight risk was far too high. It resulted in a low rating, but I will never compromise an animal's safety. I just graduated with a Master’s of Social Work. Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.

About: Hola! I’m Barbara—an economic justice advocate, Red Cross volunteer, and total bonafide Dog Mom. I grew up surrounded by German Shepherds, but as an adult, I fell in love with the little ones—starting with my very first Shih Tzu, who looked more like an Ewok than a dire wolf! For over 20 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve walked and cared for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes, from playful puppies to seniors needing a little extra TLC. In 2020, my life changed when I adopted a special-needs Shih Tzu named Chewy, who has a rare condition called Megaesophagus and eats upright in a “Bailey chair.” Chewy’s thriving journey has been such a gift—and we’ve shared it with a supportive community through his Instagram Now that Chewy is doing great, we’ve been hosting more furry friends and officially joined Rover to offer personalized, loving care to other pets—especially small to medium dogs. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and love having a companion to walk, cuddle, and care for. ✅ We only care for one household’s pets at a time—so your dog(s) will get all the attention ✅ Calm, flexible, and experienced with both healthy pets and those with medical or mobility needs ✅ Fully covered with Pet Sitter Insurance for your peace of mind ✅ Let’s set up a Meet & Greet to see if we’re the right fit! Whether you’re going out of town or just need a reliable sitter, Chewy and I are ready to make your dog feel right at home. I work from home full-time, which means your furry little one will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I have the flexibility to take them on walks, enjoy playtime like fetch or tug-of-war, and give them the love and companionship they need—whether it’s a quick potty break or a full day of care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow any instructions you provide closely—feeding schedules, medications, preferred routines, and behavior notes are all part of the care plan. I also keep your pet's environment calm, clean, and cozy, just like you'd want it to be. In my home, I care for only one household’s pets at a time to make sure your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention. I supervise all outdoor time and never allow off-leash play unless in a securely fenced area. I also have Pet Sitter Insurance for added peace of mind. If I’m visiting your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pet—double-checking doors, cleaning up, and keeping things tidy and secure. And if anything seems off while you're away, I’ll keep you informed right away.

About: Being an animal lover, I have taken care of all of my own pets and those of friends and family. From guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish, cats, and dogs. I have seen the absolute best with pets and will do anything that a pet parent wants for their pet. While I look for a full-time/part-time job, I am available any day of the week, Monday-Friday, 7 am- 6 pm, and Weekends, any time of the day. I am able to come over you house, to be able to care for your pet when it is required. I am unable to at my house since I am in the process of moving. I am comfortable being in your house to ensure your pet is in a familiar area.

“Miguel was so good with our old girl! He even carried her down the stairs when she was having trouble. He was great with communication and made sure everything was in order so we could relax on our trip!”

“Ale was so amazing! I have a senior dog who doesn't like other dogs, but Ale was able to stay over, take him on walks, and give him lots of love. My apartment was also cleaner when I got back than how I left it, which was super nice! I think Rocky had a great time and I would definitely recommend Ale :)”

“I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Cornelia! She is incredibly communicative, always keeps me updated, and makes being away from home so much easier. My cat absolutely adores her (to the point where I’m starting to think he prefers her over me). Even my neighbor went out of her way to tell me how lovely she is! I’ve booked Cornelia twice now, and both times I’ve come home to a house that was somehow in better shape than when I left it. It’s the little things that really set her apart. She’s checked for street-cleaning signs, moved my car, brought in packages and kept me informed, and watered my plants. She’s incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and proactive, and genuinely cares about both my cat and my home. At this point, Cornelia feels more like family than a pet sitter. I honestly can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my cat and home, and she will absolutely be my go-to for every trip going forward. Could not recommend her more!”

“Dylan was a lifesaver when we had another cancellation at the last minute. He was professional and great with our senior pup. We'd definitely work with him again.”

“If you are looking for a dog walker who will love your pups as much as you do, look no further than Syenna! Finding someone you trust completely with your home and pets can be nerve-wracking, but Syenna put all our worries to rest. Our two dogs, Cooper and Scuttle, are absolutely obsessed with her. She doesn’t just take them on routine walks—she gives them great exercise, keeps them safe, and never skips the most important part: the post-walk tummy rubs! The moment she arrives, Cooper and Scuttle start spinning with joy and literally flop at her feet. Syenna is reliable, punctual, professional, and deeply attentive to their individual personalities. Having her in our routine brings us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs are in the best possible hands. Cooper, Scuttle, and our entire family give her 10 out of 5 stars! Thank you, Syenna!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 7+ years and have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience and help getting around. I’ve also worked with dogs who are leash-reactive, have high prey drives, or simply need a little more structure and individual attention. I’m comfortable with pets who need some extra care, too. I’ve given ear medications and cleaned ears for infections and ear mites, as well as administered eye drops and ointment for a cat with a chronic eye condition. I’ve also cared for senior pets who needed help with stairs, had trouble eating, or needed extra attention with their daily routines. I really enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making them feel comfortable and happy while their people are away. Whether that means a long walk, playing with a favorite toy, sticking closely to their usual routine, or just keeping them company on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I’m currently taking a gap year while studying for the MCAT, so I have a very flexible schedule and spend much of my day at home studying. When I’m house sitting, I’ll most likely be there with your pets for the majority of the day, which means they’ll have plenty of company, attention, and supervision while you’re away. I’m generally available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I do have a weekly figure skating commitment on Tuesdays from about 11:30 AM–2 PM, but I can plan around it and, when scheduled in advance, I’m able to rearrange my plans if your pet needs me home. I’m very attentive to the little things that keep pets safe. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with very different temperaments and needs, including puppies, leash-reactive dogs, high-prey-drive dogs, and pets who need extra supervision or a specific routine. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I make it a point to learn the pet’s normal routine, triggers, habits, and boundaries before they leave. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and introductions to unfamiliar people or animals, and I don’t assume that every pet can be handled the same way. If a dog needs space from other dogs, a cat prefers to hide for a while, or a pet has a particular way of doing things, I respect that. I also know how important communication is when someone else has your pets. I’m happy to send regular pictures and updates, and I’ll reach out if something seems unusual rather than ignoring it or assuming it’s fine. My goal is for your pets to stay safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

About: I am a writer and artist by day and absolutely love animals! I'm looking to share my extra time caring for your furbabies! I have experience walking, feeding, monitoring, and caring for dogs (large-small, puppy-senior), reptiles, small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, ferret etc.), I have my own pets including, two terrier mixed dogs, an American bull toad, and a free roam rabbit. I have cared for my family's dog as well. I am available during the weekdays, Monday-Friday mornings and afternoons. My weekends vary based on my availability but I can be flexible and discuss more in consultation. I have my own vehicle so I am able to check in and care for your pet, and help them at a moments notice in case of emergency's, I have a large fenced in yard at home that allows for plenty of space for your fur baby to explore, walk and play for a few hours.

“Hayley & Ephraim took perfect care of our energetic wire fox terrier Caspar while we were away! They were thorough in the questions that they had for us prior to our trip, and were excellent in communication. And they provided our pup with plenty of cuddles and lap time while we were away! We loved the photos they sent us too. We'll definitely think of them the next time we are out of town. Thank you, Hayley & Ephraim!”

“Brianna took such good care of my teenage doggo over the weekend! I could tell he was happy and well tended to when I got back from my trip. She also kept me in the loop sending me many pictures each day.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 15 years through my own pets and helping care for family and friend’s animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and keeping pets on their routines. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My availability may change as my work schedule changes, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can commit to the care I agree to provide. I’m happy to work around my schedule when possible and I’m especially flexible on days I’m not working. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, make sure they’re safe and comfortable, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of your space and will always be responsible, attentive, and communicative while you’re away.
