“Cristian is a great and very responsive sitter. He also has the sweetest dog and our dogs get along great. He was very accommodating when I needed a sitter on a short notice. I would definitely leave my pup, Rowdy, with him again.”


“Tammey was an amazing sitter. I could tell from the moment I met her that she was an animal lover, and she would take great care of our pups. She dealt with our dog's quirks like a champ, sent daily updates and photos, and walked and cuddled them so they felt right at home - so much so I was afraid they wouldn't want to leave! In dealing with us humans, she was always responsive, and extremely flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. I'll definitely be sending my pups to stay with her again!”
“As it was our first time leaving Emme with people outside our family we were very nervous. However, we couldn’t have asked for better people to look after her! Argos and her seemed to have the best time and she was clearly looked after very well. Mallory stayed in contact and updated me with lots of pictures and videos- which really helped me to feel comfortable. We recommend them without a doubt!”

“McKinley was the best sitter we could’ve had! She was able to accommodate to a last minute request. She sent frequent updates and my pup felt so comfortable in her house with her other pets. 10/10 best sitter in the area!”

“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”

“Jorge and Alejandra were amazing sitters! They sent us some wonderful pictures of our dog and were great at communicating. Very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have raised two dogs, lived with two cats, have many years of experience in dog- and cat-sitting, and have a few years of experience in fostering shelter dogs and cats as well! I currently don't have any pets of my own so your pet will get my full attention. :) Pets are allowed on the furniture/bed. I have experience taking care of anxious pets and dispensing medications (both pill/tablet and liquid form). I am a student out of school for the summer, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet! I can provide as much mental/physical stimulation and potty breaks as you wish. Let me know what you are comfortable with and I will abide by your rules! Pets are members of the family and will be treated as such :)
“I recently had a great experience with Sarah caring for my senior dog while I was away. I felt confident that Dolly was in good hands and well taken care of. I value Sarah's consistent communication and her willingness to ask questions when needed. She always kept me informed and updated throughout my trip. I will to use her services again in the future.”

“Matthew treated our pups like they were his own. They were super happy and very well taken care of. Fantastic communication. Easy going and easy to work with. My pups already want to go back. Thanks for the fantastic experience!”
“Laura was fantastic! Our German Shepherd received exceptional care from her. We appreciated the frequent updates that reassured us our pet was doing wonderfully. It's clear Laura genuinely cares. After 8 years of using Rover and trying many sitters, Laura stands out as the best. Thanks again, Laura, for taking great care of our girl!”

“Becca was absolutely wonderful with our dogs this week. She was thoughtful, caring, kind, and extremely communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She did an amazing job balancing the needs of our older dog, Frankie, while also being incredibly patient and attentive with our younger dog, Piglet, who can definitely be a handful at times. It was very clear that she genuinely cared about their comfort and wellbeing, and we are so grateful for the extra care and attention she gave them. Her dog Hudson was also such a great host and playmate for both of our dogs. We truly appreciated everything Becca did for our pups this past week and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.”


“Kimberly was great with our little ole puppy dog Daisy. She kept us up-to-date on how things were going, sent us pictures, and responded to our texts throughout our time away. I would definitely recommend her and we will be happy to use her again.”


“Morgan was a great dogsitter! She sent frequent updates and was very responsive. Our dog was happy and tired when we picked her up after a weekend staying at Morgan's. We would recommend to anyone.”

“Stephanie and Luis are the absolute best! They provided fantastic care for Toto. The communication was outstanding and frequent. The reassuring updates made my time away completely stress-free. Toto came home incredibly happy and well-cared for. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Nina was a lifesaver when my flight got cancelled yesterday and I had to extend my dog’s stay. She saved me so much stress with her flexibility and care for my boy. Thank you again!”

“Serena was so easy to book and she responded to all texts very promptly. She and Jake took very good care of our Ellie. We would definitely ask them to puppy-sit again!”

Michael took amazing care of phantom. We were gone for two weeks and he was communicative and sent pictures and videos the whole time. Phantom was as happy as he could be when we picked him up. Phantom has Addisons disease and Michael also took care of his medications with ease as well as monitoring for anything out of the ordinary. We will definitely use him again!

Jessica and Ben took such good care of Vera. I’m always so nervous leaving our dog with a new sitter because of her tendency to escape but Jessica really put my mind at ease and assured me they would take extra care to watch her. They were communicative, kind, and professional. And so was their dog Oatis 😉 Would definitely use them again!

We are so grateful to Nani for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Loki, while we were away for four days. She treated him like part of her family and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear from the pictures that Loki was having a fantastic time playing with her dog and getting lots of love and attention. Nani is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would absolutely trust her with Loki again. Highly recommended!

Dena was so great. It was my first time using Rover cuz my usual sitter cancelled last minute putting me in a really difficult place. Thankfully Dena was super communicative and easy to work with. I really appreciate the flexibility and communication in a tough spot with my golden retriever. I really loved the quick responses and daily pics. Would definitely go with Dena again.

Destiny took great care of my dog Stella she constantly sent me updates about her without having to ask which I appreciated. My dog is also extremely active and super playful and can be hard to keep entertained at times and she had no problems with her at all :) definitely would book her again!

Shane went above and beyond while caring for my dog for nearly 2 weeks, providing daily medication, updates and photos each evening, and even a pup cup with a “6” candle on her birthday. Shane was patient and kind to my dog who can run anxious - top notch, a true professional, I couldn’t recommend more. Thank you!
