“Rita is a fantastic person to trust with your dog. She clearly cares and loves all of the dogs she watches. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with pictures and videos. I would recommend Rita to anyone looking for dog sitting needs!”
“Katie was amazing and took superb care of my pup Bear. She was super accommodating and responded quickly each time! I would absolutely use her again! Thanks again Katie!”
“Our dog Hazel loves going to see Andres and spend time with his dog Lumkin. They are BFFs! Andres takes very good care of Hazel and is always communicating with us while we’re away. Highly recommend him”
“Olivia was very wonderful and patient with our mastiff and our schnauzer. She would send daily photos and would respond quickly whenever I had any questions about my pets. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely book her again.”
“It gives me such peace of mind to see how comfortable Sheldon is staying with Adriene and her two dogs. I love the daily updates and pictures of Sheldon taking walks, playing and napping in comfy spots. This has worked out so well for us!”
“Elisabeth was absolutely amazing! Leaving my Great Dane, Blueberry, for the weekend was so hard, but she made the entire experience so much easier for both of us. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell how much care and compassion she puts into what she does. She treated Blueberry like he was her own, which is no small task because he’s not the easiest dog to handle. Elisabeth kept me updated with the pictures and videos that made me feel continually comforted while I was missing him. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Blueberry’s happiness and comfort, which gave me so much peace of mind during my separation anxiety. What truly stood out was her extraordinary level of care. When Blueberry got up in the middle of the night, Elisabeth didn’t just leave him on his own—she went out to the couch and slept with him to make sure he felt secure. That thoughtful, empathetic gesture is more than I ever could have expected. I couldn’t be more grateful for Elisabeth and everything she did for Blueberry and me this weekend. She went above and beyond in every way, and I’m so excited for the chance to work with her again in the future. Thank you so much again Elisabeth!”
“Bernice had a great stay with Nick and Katie! She came home happy and tired which are the two best things for a pup! Nick was great with updates and pics during her stay and very flexible with pickup and drop off which we appreciated! Will definitely reach out for future stays!”

“Yuliia did an stellar job taking care of our little cat Zelda. We got daily pictures, where we could see our little cat very comfortable at her place, enjoying every day there. It was reassuring seeing her have such a good time, and we will definitely be requesting Yuliia to take care of Zelda if we need it again.”
“Alberta was amazing with our senior dog! She sent pictures and updates and has excellent communication. I could tell she paid close attention to our dogs moods and needs during her stay. I really appreciate Alberta and highly recommend her!”
“Jenning was great through this whole process. This was my first time using rover and leaving Nipsey with anybody. She was very helpful and knowledgable prior to booking and during his stay. She kept me updated with both pictures and videos and was easy to communicate with. She also gave me a list of things to pack prior to arriving and gave me a few pointers and suggestions for new things to order. Highly recommend Jenning to anyone looking to book, she cared Nipsey like her own.”
“Sara is the best! She is kind, fun, and loving! Mina loves to be at Sara's house as she never cries to leave once left at Sara's home. She also loves Sara's dog, Penny. It is heartwarming to see how they play together. I know Sara takes good care of Mina as she communicates with me on a regular basis as to how Mina responds to her care. We have a good working relationship and Mina clearly loves to be with Sara and her family! Can't wait until the next visit! I know I can count on Sara to treat Mina as her own.”
“Carrie and John were wonderful and took great care of Yoshi in their lovely home. Stellar communication, reliable and flexible, everything you could ask for. I’m so grateful I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my dog was having as nice a time as we were!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She's extremely flexible, gives you updates on your beloved pet, and cares for them as her own. I was so nervous to leave my baby for the first time but i couldn't have left him in better hands! If you need to leave your fur baby for any reason, Elizabeth and her family is the go to 😊”
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I’ve mostly handled cats and dogs, but I also have experience with bearded dragons 😊 I really do love all animals! I work M-F as a nurse but I’m usually done by 3:00 in the afternoon. I’ve found I really need something to do in my free time and I couldn’t think of anything better than taking care of some pets! As a nurse, safety is very important to me. I would use my days off to dedicate all my time to your pet, their happiness, and safety 😊
“Kim was amazing. She takes loads of pictures and updates on the daily’s of her time with your animal. She takes long walks in parks and will get all the energy out of your dog. Her energy will radiate the minute you meet her.”
“This has been a great experience!! For the first time I wasn’t completely stressed out wondering if he’s being loved or if he’s being taken care of the proper way, because of Shanisa I was relieved of those feelings she took great care of my dog” a Great Dane might I add” I got plenty of videos and Photos and I could tell he felt safe. She was very honest with me letting me know if he was being a good boy , letting me know on some days he seems to miss us. He also had a lot of play time outside .Definitely using her in the future. Thanks a million Shanisa very grateful.”
“Kaitlyn is the best!! She took great care of our dog, Gibbs, and sent lots of updates throughout the week so we could see he was adjusting well. She also provided him with lots of toys and attention during his stay, which he loved!”
