“Christina was so good with our dog Roger! He can be a nervous and kind of grumpy old guy and she learned his quirks very quickly and took great care of him. Always sent photos and updates. We came home to a happy and healthy dog.”

About: I love animals and get genuine joy from spending time with them. Have experience caring for pets of family and friends, am the go to cat caretaker for numerous friends in my life and will take any opportunity to walk a dog. I have a gentle approach, am happy to work with you on the best way to care for your pet and am always open to feedback. Here to give so much love to your four-legged loved ones! I work full time, but have flexibility on the weekdays in the early morning or after 5. Weekends am flexible! Happy to work with you to figure out a time that works best. I have a very gentle and caring approach to pets. Happy to play with and snuggle them! If they’re more nervous or need specific types of care, happy to adapt to what they need!
“10/10 experience! We needed a last minute sitter for our pets and we are very picky about who takes care of them. Hsiao-chia took our long instructions with such grace! Our pets loved her and she made sure to check in with us - easing my anxiety lol. We will certainly use her in the future!”

“Yeji was super responsive with us and very kind to our beagle - playing fetch, following her feeding schedule, and being attentive to her. Our doggo can be anxious but was in good hands with Yeji!”


“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”

“Kayleigh was terrific!!! My wife and I were out of the country for 12 days and Kayleigh stayed at our house with Finn, our 3-1/2 year old, 160# male Great Dane. We got updates with pictures during our absence. When we returned home, the house was in very good order. I can't say enough good things about Kayleigh. A delightful, friendly, responsible, well spoken young woman. We would definitely recommend Kayleigh to anyone in need of house/pet sitting.”

“Zilalai once again did a fantastic job house/pet sitting my two cats for a week. I appreciate that she is reliable, follows the kitties’ usual routine, handles an occasional plumbing or a/c maintenance appointment, and leaves the house very tidy. Thank you, Zilalai!”

“Anastasia was amazing with my 13-year-old labradoodle. Great communication and the best pics. So nice to have this confidence when I have to leave, knowing my dog is taken care of.”

“Frances is a wonderful dog sitter!!! She watched my two pups for a weekend that I was away and she sent so many wonderful updates and photos. I had no doubt that my dogs were well cared for. Definitely will book with Frances again!”

“Anna was great with Lucy! She was very communicative and flexible. When our flight was canceled she stayed an extra night to watch Lucy. We will definitely be using her as a dog sitter in the future!!”

“truly amazing sitter! both for drop ins and house sitting. the place looked spotless and the animals were so well loved! updated regularly. 10/10 would absolutely hire natalia again!”


“Alison was wonderful! My cats were very well taken care of and I got regular updates. When I came home, everything was clean and my cats were very happy. Highly recommend!”

“Marcus (listed as Devon on Rover) was a phenomenal sitter for my GSD Izzy. He was in constant communication with me and my family around her care, went out of his way to ensure she had three walks and plenty of play time each day and made sure her scheduled walks, medication, and feeding times remained structured for the 2.5 weeks I was traveling. Izzy is a very loving dog but does require a confident handler with advanced knowledge given her working dog temperament and Marcus adapted to her needs seamlessly. Would recommend and rebook without hesitation (in fact we already have) and was grateful to have him for our extended sit. It allowed me to travel with sustained peace of mind and I returned home to a VERY happy and pampered dog who seemed less excited by my return than she was disappointed by Marcus’ departure!”


“We had a fantastic experience with Jose. He is exceptionally kind and committed to providing excellent care for our dogs. Jose shared lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Jose as a house/pet sitter!”

“Madison was so great with our gentle giant!!! Snoopy’s size makes him a bit of a handful but she was so confident with him. She gave him lots of snuggles (his favorite) and walks. She provided updates and pictures, brought in our packages, and was a courteous houseguest.”

“Priscilla was very conscientious about understanding our dog, his personality and his needs while we were gone. This was very re-assuring to us that he would be in fine, capable hands! Everything went well and we would definitely recommend Priscilla and DogVacay to others! We are already looking at our calendar for future stays!”


“Amy was amazing! She house sat with my cat Louie for a week and was so good about sending updates, videos, pics. She gave Louie lots of love and attention, I’m so grateful to have found her”

We love Lou almost as much as our cats love Lou!!! This is Lou’s second time taking care of our (four) girls and they were wonderful. Lou really understands the cats and their needs. This was a long trip from home for us and it made me feel so much better that they were there. Lou even vacuumed - they really go above and beyond. The cats don’t even seem to miss us. Thank you so much Lou!!

Morgan and Meaghan were exceptionally kind, professional, and communicative while housesitting for my dog Kaya. I received daily updates and photos that made it clear Kaya was well attended to and completely comfortable with them, and I came home to a spotless apartment. It was obvious from the updates that Kaya was being her usual snuggly self, which is the best endorsement of all. Morgan and Meaghan would be top of my list to stay with Kaya again!

Ciana is a great dog sitter and house guest! Communication was quick and I received multiple photo and video updates throughout her stay. My apartment was clean and tidy when I returned, and Lana seemed healthy and happy and well cared for. Would definitely recommend her for any pet sitting and would book her again!

Ilse is wonderful with our pup Kiwi! She is communicative, caring, and above all, knows how to handle our very energetic 70 pound pup. She is unfazed when it comes to managing his antics, and spends time playing and cuddling with him, which we really appreciate. We've rebooked Ilse multiple times, and will continue to do so. If you're looking for a great dogsitter, look no further :)
