“Carson was very patient with me as I sorted out my schedule. She came highly recommended from the references she provided. She cared for my elderly dog, Penny, including administering a complicated regimen of medication. I would hire her again!”


“Marlene was wonderful ~ Took great care of my pups and home for housesitting, went above and beyond by taking them on more walks than I asked for, and leaving the house very clean! Very communicative and sent me pics and updates for my entire trip which made me feel more at ease😁 Thanks so much Marlene!”


“Michael is the BEST. He took care of our house and our cats with patience, humor, respect, and care. He sent photos, funny info, and kept us updated on their antics. A couple of things went wrong in the house while we were away (nothing to do with Michael) and he handled them with complete grace. I felt at ease while we were away and would not hesitate to hire Michael again. And again!! We recommend him 200%!!”


“Sean was great with Asher and took wonderful care of him! He sent some pictures to keep me up to date and was a good communicator. I certainly recommend him and will reach out again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I highly recommend Charlie as a dog sitter! He took wonderful care of our grandma Carlee over the busy 4th of July weekend. At 15, Carlee is very low maintenance but has some special needs. Charlie was attentive to all of them and we especially appreciated seeing her so comfortable and cozy in the updates he provided whenever we requested them. We weren't able to respond immediately to early questions about her care, but it was clear that Charlie had everything under control. When we returned home, Carlee was safe, happy, and clearly well-cared for. That's all that truly matters, and we're so grateful for Charlie's excellent service!”


“Thoughtful and great with our puppy!”


About: I cared for my yellow Labrador, Sparky, for 12 years. From puppyhood to his senior years, our daily walks, playtime, and belly rubs were some of my favorite ways to connect and spend quality time together. Over the years, friends, family members and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their pets while they were away. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship during vacations, I’ve always treated every pet like my own, with patience and love. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and caring looking after your furry family member, and I’m here to provide that peace of mind. I work full time during the week, so I’m available for walks after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I am also available for house visits and stays from Wednesday evenings after I get out of work through Sunday evenings. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine in a familiar environment, and I always aim to create a calm, comfortable, and safe experience. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, ensure your pet is fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, and keep you updated with regular check-ins. Daily walks were one of my favorite bonding activities with my dog, Sparky, so I truly understand how important they are for both physical health and mental stimulation. Whether your pup loves a leisurely stroll or a more energetic walk, I tailor each outing to their pace and personality. Safety is my top priority. I make sure the leash is secure, stay alert to surroundings making sure it is a safe area to walk in, and follow your dog’s routine and preferences. I make sure walks are not only safe but also enjoyable, giving your dog a chance to explore, exercise and return home happy and relaxed.

About: What sets me apart is my love for dogs, puppy socialization, and dedication to personalized, enriching activities that ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. My tailored approach combines exercise, and compassionate care, making me a dependable and innovative pet sitter. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, including feeding, exercise, and affection. Weekly, I focus on monitoring health to ensure overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine to ensure comfort. I provide feeding, exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and companionship. I also maintain a clean environment, offer affection, and keep owners updated for peace of mind.

About: I've owned dogs since I was 10 years old and had three (2 pitbull mixes and 1 doberman) while being teenager. I assisted with feeding, toileting, walking, and bathing them. I am now 33 years old and I own two cats who I care for (feeding, entertaining, cleaning up after, etc.). Cats arguably have different needs :P One of my hobbies is to watch dog training videos and I don't know if I can put that to good use on your pets, but maybe you'll come back and find your pooch knows some new tricks (or manners)! At the moment, I am not working at a job, so my availability is quite open to the needs of my clients and their pets. I will not be able to bring your furbabies to my home, but given the tools at your home, I will be able to care for them to the best of my ability there! I will ensure your pets have the food and water they need, have a clean litterbox (or take them out), and ensure that the home is safe for the pet in question. I would do a sweep of the house and ensure nothing is out of place or has been messed with (by your pet) before continuing with the duties you've requested me for!

“We are so pleased with how Keka took care of our precious dog. She was reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural gift with dogs. We received pics videos updates , she was on time for everything we asked of her . We really can’t recommend her enough , and look forward to calling her for our next trip. 5 stars all around . Thank you Keka !!!”


“Alexandra is an excellent pet sitter. I highly recommend her. She did an awesome job. I had peace of mind knowing she was there. I would definitely reach out to her again if I need a pet sitter. She sent me pictures and was always letting me know what was going on. Truly remarkable!!”


“Nathalia was great!! She took great care of our cat while we were away for a long weekend. She left the place neat & tidy as well! Will definitely be booking here again.”


“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dogs, Lexi and Boo, in the care of Maybelline, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Maybelline was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing the dogs were in great hands. When we returned, Lexi and Boo were happy, healthy, and had clearly enjoyed her time. I highly recommend Maybelline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter. I will definitely be booking again for future trips!"”


About: I've loved animals my whole life and have been around cats in one way or another for most of my life. I grew up with multiple cats and I've been taking care of my cat Cole since adopting her in 2018 as a kitten. I've been volunteering at a cat shelter for several years as a socializer and love visiting as many cats as I can when I'm there (I always stay longer than my shift). I love them dearly, always want what's best for them, and would treat your cat with the same care concern I'd treat for my own. I'd be happy to provide drop-in visits for feedings/etc or to provide your cat with some play/social time! I love meeting new cats and taking in their unique quirks! While I've had a lot more exposure to felines, I'd also happily walk/spend time with your dog. I've had a lot of good experiences with them as well - me and my landlady's dog are good pals! I'm between jobs at the moment, so I am fairly flexible in terms of availability with some notice. Sunday is my day for volunteering, though I can potentially swap my shift in an urgent situation. I'm happy to arrange for shorter/longer visits on single/recurring basis. Can assist with feedings, playtime or just hang out and provide them a loving lap! Also happy to provide photo/video updates of your fur babies to help put your mind(s) at ease!

About: Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like family. I’m comfortable with high energy pups, older dogs who need extra care, and everything in between. Always aiming to make pets feel safe, happy, and at home! https://www.rover.com/sit/kevinb26460 Use this link to get $20 off of your first booking on Rover! :) I’m available Monday through Friday. As a student on break and working part-time, I’m looking flexible pet care work I can do on the side! I make sure pets feel safe and loved. I follow feeding schedules, give them playtime, walks, and lots of attention. I respect owner routines that are in place, keep spaces clean, and always prioritize their comfort and wellbeing. Whether it’s overnight stays or daily drop-ins, I make treating every pet like family the priority.

About: First time using Rover? Use code YONGL37332 for $20 off your first booking! As a parent of two lovely cats, I have consistently provided attentive care for both my family and friends' pets, ensuring their well-being through meticulous feeding, walking, maintenance, and, crucially, fostering joy and connection through engaging play sessions. With generous weekend availability and flexible weekday hours, I am well-suited to offer dedicated and compassionate care to both cats and dogs. Currently, I am not accomodating any pet care in my home. I prioritize creating a familiar environment for pets by adhering to their routines. This includes maintaining consistent feeding schedules, ensuring clean and comfortable spaces, and engaging in activities that align with their preferences.

“Denise was a great sitter! She had great communication, she was very friendly and my dog Marley really enjoyed her company. Your pet would be in good hands with Denise. Book her now! :)”


“We had a last minute trip and he was able to take care of my 4 furkids. Received daily updates while we were away. If we ever need a sitter, he will definitely be back.”



About: Besides years of experience with my own pets at home (including but not limited to my dog, guinea pig, fish, bunny, turtle, and more), I have over a year experience dealing with a variety of dogs and cats as an intern at Westwood Regional Veterinary hospital. I have experience handling, walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs both small and large. Not only that but I had formed such strong connections with my patients that some clients requested me for in-home dog sitting. As an incoming college student, my schedule has become more free, opening up more opportunities to care for your pets! During the summer I am available almost every day unless listed otherwise. Don’t hesitate to reach out! I am not currently accepting boarding in my own home, however I am more than happy to pet sit as well as stay overnight sitting in a clients home. I care for your pets to the best of my ability with your instructions kept in mind.

Kristine M.
“I honestly don’t want to share Kristine’s services with anyone because she is too good to my 3 animals. However sharing is caring so let me tell you - there is no one who will love your animals the way you do-EXCEPT Kristine !!!! My animals love her and are calm and happy while we are away for the weekend/week, or just the evening. Kristine has been helping us for over a year and I have never been happier knowing my animals are in the best care. They are always excited to see her and are perfectly happy and content when we return. I have a rescue with separation anxiety who also has dietary restrictions- Oliver who looks more like a bear than a dog. Then I have a pug who needs all the attention and love -Puck is his name; and my tiny tiger scaredy rescue cat Klause. Our animals are undoubtedly high maintenance and it’s amazes me that Klause is out and about showing love even though he typically doesn’t show a whisker when strangers are in the house- the only exception is Kristine; who gives so much love that he greets her and lets her pet and pick him up. that’s huge for my scaredy cat. Honestly your animals would be lucky to have her watching them/ walking them/or just visiting them.”

“Christine is literally the BEST! She’s so kind and personable and the moment I met her, I could tell she was very attentive to what mine and my dogs needs. My dog absolutely loves her and he always comes back from their time together in such a good mood. He’s getting older and isn’t as playful as he used to be but Christine really cheers him up and I appreciate her endlessly for it :) Not only is she bringing him to all the fun trails near my house, but she’s also sending me the cutest pics and videos too! Can’t recommend her enough!”
