“Andrea is amazing! She gave our elder dog and cat6 meticulous loving care and attention, and gave outr youger dog and cat love and great attention as well. She really goes above and beyond to be helpful and really cares about our pets. We are very grateful.”
“I have nothing but good things to say about Cyra! She was so kind and wonderful to my senior dog! She was on time, great communication and rolled with a couple of unforeseen changes.”

“Sarah did a wonderful job. This was our first time using Rover and we were a little apprehensive about leaving our two dogs and two cats with someone we didn’t know. Sarah was knowledgeable and great with our pets and kept us updated with several photos and short briefs a few times each day. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely ask her to housesit again.”

“Roxy was a fantastic communicator and took great care of our cat! She went above and beyond cleaning up and leaving everything exactly as we left it. We look forward to using her again!”

“Santiago was very flexible and available when I needed a last minute booking for a sitting. Zoey had a great visit and was well taken care of. Santiago made sure to have my place spick and span when I arrived home after a long day of travel and emotional weekend with my family. Most certainly would book again!”

“August did an incredible job taking care of Zula and my house while I was away! He sent a ton of pictures, made sure she got lots of walks, and left my house absolutely spotless. August has been the most communicative dog sitter I’ve ever had and I would 100% use him again in the future. Thanks again!!”

“Joanie took great care of our house and our two giant dogs! We would use her again in a heartbeat; we came home to a clean house and happy pups! While we were away, she sent tons of photos and updates which was a wonderful treat!”

“We’re so glad we found Connie for housesitting. She really knows pets well and cares a lot about them and taking care of them to high standards. She left the house clean and made everything easy. She accommodated us and our special needs dog and was so so sweet with our cat, too. Will definitely book again and highly recommend her.”

“Zoe was able to watch Ardbeg for a weekend getaway - jumping in on very short notice. She took fantastic care of Ardbeg and kept us updated with lots of cute photos. We can tell that he had a fabulous time!”

“Carolyn was wonderful to take on a 9 day stay in my home with my big boy. Upon my return he was happy and healthy seems like staying home was a much better option for him. Big Thanks Carolyn!”

“Colleen did a fantastic job taking care of our boys. Both are pretty high needs in very different ways. One needs medication on the clock, twice a day. The other is young, high energy and wants constant attention. Colleen was stellar! We came home to happy pups and a clean house!!! She is mature, respectful, communicates wonderfully, and asks questions. We felt so confident and relaxed while on our trip knowing she was there. I highly recommend Colleen to care for your animals and your home.”

“We could not have been more pleased with Zach's care for our dogs while we were out of town for five days. He was very attentive to their food and exercise needs and kept us posted with updates and photos several times a day. By the end of Zach's stay, he and our dogs had clearly bonded. In addition, Zach took good care of our plants, and we returned to find the house clean and tidy.”

“Sedona took wonderful care of our dog, Butterscotch, while we were out of town for four days. She did an amazing job and gave us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with pictures and texts, which meant so much to us and reassured us that Butterscotch was happy and well cared for. Most importantly, Butterscotch absolutely loved her! It was clear Sedona was caring, attentive, and truly loves animals. We would not hesitate to have her pet sit again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets.”

“Patricia is our #1 Rover because of the way our nervous dogs come out of their shells with her. She sends pictures of them all piled on the bed together with her - that's how we know that they feel comfortable and safe, and that means the world to us when we're away. She also makes the extra effort to make sure the house is clean and tidy when we come home (we clean before we leave but I swear it looks better when we come back), and that's just an added bonus.”


“Nichole is the best!! We felt so Confident leaving our pups with her! They got robstat home and do their thing! She makes watching your fur friends a breeze while your away! Great house guest also!”


About: I have a strong love and affection for animals of all types, and have been a pet owner most of my life. I have been a sitter for family and friends more times than I can remember, and have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and fish. I also have cared for older pets and am comfortable administering medication when needed. Whether it’s a quick drop in or an extended time, I’ll treat your furry companion(s) with all the love and attentive care they deserve. I will be working part time but also have a flexible schedule, I’m willing to work with clients to meet their schedule needs as much as I can. No backyard, but a dog park and safe walking spaces are available near me in a quiet apartment complex. Pets can be lonely while away from their owners, but I will provide lots of affection and play time to make sure they are as happy as ever. I will also keep detailed notes on any specific care your pet(s) may require, and can be reached at my cell if needed.
“We are so happy to have found Arianna! Our dog is nervous around new people and it takes someone confident and comfortable to win his trust. Arianna was very patient and persistent and won him over. Felt so good to leave for several days knowing he was not just being fed but encouraged, exercised, loved. I appreciate all her efforts and def book again!”

“Abbi asked great questions about my dogs needs during the meet & greet and sent a few pictures/ updates during her stay. My doggos both have special needs and she navigated the instructions easily. I Returned to my house as I’d left it and two happy and well cared for dogs. She’s already booked for another stay!”
