“Alex watched my dog overnight at my house while I was on a short work trip. I typically leave Oso with family when I have to go away, and last time I used a different sitter I had a bad experience, so I was hesitant to leave him overnight. But Alex was professional and I knew Oso was in good hands. Came home to a happy dog. Thank you!!”
“Bria provided excellent overnight care for my two cats, Thelma and Louise, while I was at my sister’s wedding for 4 days. She was reliable and communicative, and I didn’t have to worry about them at all. My cats seemed comfortable with her, and I returned home to happy, well-cared-for pets. I won’t hesitate to hire Bria again when I need to go out of town.”
“Tim is the GOAT. There is no one we trust more than Tim. We truly can peacefully leave for a vacation and not have one concern. He checks in frequently with amazing pictures and updates, and puts us at ease. He takes our pup on long walks and gives her so much attention and love. Around our house, he’s known as Uncle Tim!”
“We had never left our dogs with anyone aside from my parents so we were nervous! Madelyn came over twice ahead of her week with our dogs to help them get more comfortable since they can be anxious and excitable. She was attentive, responsive, patient and gentle with our dogs and communication was great. We will not hesitate to call Madelyn next time we need help with our pups again. Can’t recommend her enough - she is a natural with dogs!”
“Amazing! Paulina walks our pup every week and we have grown to trust her with our baby. Our pup is a shy and sometimes pees in anxiety when she isn't completely comfortable around someone. However, she really likes Paulina and seems to have really warmed up to her over the 4 days we were away. The whole time we were away, Paulina texted us pictures of her walks and updated us on her eating. Our pup can also be a picky eater when she is stressed. In the past we haven't been able to leave her alone for more than 2 days because she would pee in the house before each walk. We are not sure why but our pup has always been scared of her harness being put on by anyone other than me before going out for walks. In the past our pup has also refused to eat and lost weight if we were away for too long. When we came home, our pup seemed so happy and healthy. She ate every day and did not have a single accident with Paulina. I also have 2 cats and though I'm not surprised one of them never came out, the other greeted Paulina and she even let Paulina pet her. Overall, we are so thankful Paulina was available and impressed with how much our babies liked her. We had planned this vacation months ago but our other sitter got COVID days before the trip and we were going to have to cancel everything and loose money on everything that was nonrefundable. But thankfully Paulina was available! She really saved us! We will definitely work with Paulina again in the future for house sitting and continue to work with her for weekly walks with our pup.”
“Stefanie is the first house sitter I've ever had in my long history of being a dog Mom. I am wondering what took me so long to choose home comforts over a kennel for my dog Rosie because Stefanie is all that I wanted in a house sitter. When I had to change the reservation last minute, Stefanie was completely understanding and accepting of the change. I know that Rosie was in the best of care and I loved Stefanie's daily pictures and updates. I didn't worry about my pet at all. Stefanie is very neat, respectful, and responsive. I will definitely ask her back.”
“Azeez was an exceptional pet sitter for our furry family members, Cece and Lola, over Thanksgiving! His dedication showed through attentive walks, frequent updates with adorable pictures, and thoughtful treats. His kindness and care, as reflected in his text messages, truly made our holiday worry-free. Highly recommended and will use again!”
“Sarah was great with my Goldendoodle. I can see why she is always already booked when I need her. She’s the best dog sitter I have ever had from Rover. You’ll love her!!”
“Caitlin was fantastic! Our pets absolutely loved her, she shared plenty of photos and updates during the short stayl Couldn't ask for more and we'll definitely be using her again.”
About: I have walked dogs since I was a kid and absolutely love all animals! I have two children, 3 and 7, who desperately want a dog in the future. I am hoping to do this part time for them to have a sense of what having ann animal feels like and get them acclimated with the responsibility of having a dog. I work as a therapist but have a very flexible schedule. I work in office once per week and work from home the rest of the days. My office is also pet friendly depending on your dog. I love long hikes and being outside and would love a furry companion to take care of. I have a lot of space and I love long walks. I will take care of your animals in the way you want, whether it’s playing fetch or cuddles.
“We were a little nervous about leaving our dogs bc the other times we had, directions were not followed. Luckily, Mariela was fantastic with both of them and things went smoothly. We were very pleased with her communication with us and seeing all of the pictures of them daily. We will not hesitate to call on her again!”

I was anxious about letting someone other than family watch them but vlada was so amazing with them. She sent us updates and my dogs loved her a lot. We felt totally at ease and comfortable with her and will 100% be using her in the future.”
