“Mandy did a really great job. She kept in contact with pictures and updates. She was very respectful house sitting in my home, I came back to a made bed and a clean apartment. My pup had a great time and I was very happy with her care.”

“Kelly was fantastic! We were gone over Christmas and were so lucky to find her. She kept us updated with lots of photos and texts, which were so appreciated, and gave our pups lots of love and attention. She even vacuumed all the leaves they drug in! It’s always hard to leave our dogs, especially for an extended period of time, but having a sitter like Kelly makes it much less stressful. She was wonderful!”

“In the time of need, she stepped up when she could. I will always remember this. One of my dogs got sick while the other one got hurt all in the same day when I was trying to return home when DIA was delaying planes coming home.”

“Sthephany and Jeshael were fantastic about sending us lots of photos and checking in when one of the pups started to get an upset tummy (she's a sensitive baby) - we appreciated knowing they were being watched and loved on as best as S & J were able.”

“Kristen was a great sitter for my special needs pup. She stayed with her all weekend and was attentive to an injury she had experienced before our trip. She left the house very tidy and spotless.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and clients, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, and spending quality time with their pets while they’re away. I have experience administering medicine and giving injections to cats, including caring for my own cat who had cancer and another diabetic cat. I’m comfortable handling pets with special health needs and always make sure they feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work full-time in person Monday-Friday, so I’m generally available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, to help them feel secure while their family is away. I always respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy and following any specific instructions they leave. Most importantly, I spend quality time with each pet so they feel loved, calm, and not alone while their owners are gone.
“Mckinzie treated our dogs so well! They are high energy pups and she took them for many walks and hikes during her stay. She sent lots of photos of them and left our house very clean. She also was intentional at the meet and greet to understand how to give our dogs the best care. Would definitely recommend!!”


“Braelyn was so awesome. She clearly loves animals and took such good care of our house. Everything was clean, bedding was washed, and the dogs seemed so relaxed when we got back. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again :)”

“Overall, great experience working with Bill. Communicative and easy to work with. Took great care of both my dog and cat at our home. We felt comfortable while we were in California for the holidays knowing our furry loved ones are comfortable at our home with Bill. They were taken care of and loved. We will be using him every time her on out.”

“Zap dais a great job even while juggling challenging travel logistics and a major snow storm. I cam home from a long absence to a freshly washed and brushed pet and the house was clean!”

“Maddy took excellent care of my cat and my apartment while I was away. She was always responsive and sent me photo updates throughout the stay. I recommend her highly for pet and house sitting!”

“Josh was amazing with my girls! He sent lots of photo updates taking Layla on long walks, she was clearly so happy with him. Grateful he tried all the things I usually do when I’m home to get this picky girl to eat her dinner! Lol plus lots of snuggles for the kitties. Came back to a spotless home too.”

“Mitch took great care of Jeff and Xochitl again. We knew they were completely safe with him and he sent us pictures of them. We are so happy when he stays with them!”

“I’ve been using Rover for quite some time and Jennifer is the best sitter on the app. I had to travel out of town with short notice and Jennifer was available, responsive and most importantly, my dog loves her. My dog is high needs and Jennifer was more that up to the challenge. She was able to quickly bond with him and kept me updated the entire time. If trust and compassion are what you are looking for in a sitter, I would solely recommend Jennifer!”

About: have experience working with pets of all ages, including high energy puppies who need structure, patience, and consistent training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require a gentler approach, medication reminders, and close monitoring. I’m very observant when it comes to behavior, so I can quickly pick up on changes in mood, appetite, or health and respond appropriately. I work part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for drop-ins or extended care. I can easily adjust to your animals usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I focus on making pets feel at home, even when their owner is away. I stick to their usual routine, keep their environment clean, and give them lots of love and attention (or space if they prefer that). I’m very patient with shy or nervous cats and make sure they feel safe and cared for at all times.
“Casey was great! She took Nella on many adventures while we were away, and we felt so happy knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely use Casey for future needs- thanks again for your help!”

“Keriann took great care of our dog for a couple of nights in our home. She communicated frequently with pictures and updates, followed care instructions and left our house tidy. We will book with Keriann again in the future.”

We were very happy with Seth! He watched our energetic young dog for us for about a week and a half. He kept in touch regularly with photos and updates, walked him regularly, kept the home and yard straightened up, and seemed to genuinely enjoy our pup’s company while we were gone. We’d recommend and use his services again.

Corey was great. One of our dogs experienced tummy problems while we were away and Corey was very good about keeping us informed about the situation – and cleaning up the mess. Even had good recommendations for products to help with stains on the rug. We really appreciate everything Corey did for our dogs.

What a great team ! We were so happy with the way they took care of Chowder !!! Plenty of walks, feeding on time, treats as instructed. Chowder was comfortable with them from the moment they arrived. Took.a lot of stress off.of us knowing Chowder was in good hands. Highly recommend

Our spoiled, social cat seemed happy when we got home. We especially appreciated Kelly’s notes about her stay, as well as daily texts and photos. We were pleased with Kelly’s attention to detail and willingness to follow instructions. We look forward to her spending time with our dear cat again next month.

Sarah was amazing with Maddie. She was so thoughtful to her senior needs and communicated consistently. Sarah is also extremely professional. She asked a ton of great questions during our meet and greet, which made me feel very confident and comfortable going out of the country and having her stay in my home. I will definitely rebook!

Katie is a fantastic and very responsible choice for caring for your pets. She is respectful of the needs of the dog and is a thoughtful guest in your home. We recently booked Katie for a two 2week stay in our home. As an example of her going above and beyond, she took our trash out even though we had not asked her to do so because it involves bringing a big bin all the way up a half mile private road that is a steep hill. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Ashely took great care of Moxie, treating her like her own! She sent regular updates and pictures, where Moxie looked happy and healthy playing with Ashely’s sweet dog, Lucy. There were even a few of Moxie sitting on her lap, putting her application in to be Ashley’s new co-worker ;) We will book a stay with Ashley again in the future.

Elise is a fantastic sitter. She was timely, communicative, and took amazing care of our two dogs. She was a great guest in our home and left it cleaner than when she arrived. Our two rescue dogs, one of whom is pretty timid, warmed right up to her. We appreciated her attentive nature and the updates she provided. You can count on her to take care of your dogs and respect your home. We will 100% be using her again, 5 stars isn’t enough.

Mandy did an incredible job watching Chicken and eleaNOIR on my short-notice booking request! She was on-time, communicative and followed instructions well. I had a lot going on during my business trip and didn’t worry for a second. Will def be booking with her again. Thanks Mandy!
