“Jolie did a great job staying in touch. She left the house clean and took good care of our older kitty. Everything was nice when we got home.”
2. Victoria A.
“Victoria was a very thoughtful and caring sitter for my 13 yo terrier. I definitely recommend her and look forward to hiring her again. Thank you Victoria! ?”
3. Nyah A.
“Nyah is a great person to be trusted with pets! She’s an extremely responsible and independent person for her age. For the times she’s watched my pets, she has been very reliable and caring. I know how much she loves animals and I know that she would love to work with them more!”
4. Christopher C.
“Christopher was great with molly. She enjoyed the walks he gave her and was great at sending me updates on her. I would definitely recommend him to others.”
5. Channing P.
“Channing was great! She provided updates on the dogs throughout the weekend and was a very good house guest. You can tell she loves animals! We’ll definitely be booking her again when we’re out of town!”
6. Zalie P.
“Zalie proved to be excellent with my over anxious dog. My pup has years of trauma and ptsd which makes her weary of new people and new situations. Zalie has showed so much patience and care to help my dog be as comfortable as possible in her surroundings with a "stranger". Zalie gave frequent updates and was quick to reply to any messages I sent. She sent photo updates of trust milestones her and my pup made and followed the tips I gave on how to handle my nervous girl when it came to going on walks and even needing to hand feed my dog because of her quirky anxiety issues. Zalie left my house neat and clean and made sure my dog was walked and fed and snuggled in to her safe spot before leaving moments before I got home. As the first time using Zalie and Rover for dog and house sitting, I am happy with the service. I'm so pleased that my shy dog now has a new human friend and I am confident that Zalie will continue to be my first choice when needing pet care.”
7. Ayla S.
“Ayla did a great job for our pups. She was very responsive to any texts or calls and sent several pictures of the happy dogs. She obviously took them on some good walks because they were a bit tired when we got home. She was clean and took care of our home as if it was her own.”
8. Ryleigh (Wrigley) B.
“Wrigley has taken care of two of my pets. Both dogs loved him and knew he understood their needs. Our most recent dog hadn't seen him for a few months. When Wrigley came through the door, those few months dissolved. Dogs don't lie. Wrigley sets his alarm in the morning to make sure our pet is fed on time. I would highly recommend Wrigley as a responsible pet person.”
9. Halley B.
“Halley is a great responsible person that helped us out house sitting and taking care of our dog Bella. She is great. Couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you Halley.”
10. Ashley T.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs, big and small. While I can’t have a dog due to my current living situation, I still occasionally dog sit for family and friends. I also have some experience in giving medications throughout the day. During the week I work a pretty consistent 8-4, but on those days I can do a little in the mornings and a decent amount in the evenings. During the weekends, I’m pretty wide open and can give more time to pet/ house sitting. I’m quite flexible when it comes to adapting to the specific needs of a pet. My home is currently unable to board other pets beside my cat unfortunately.
11. Stella W.
“Stella was great! It's not very often that we like to leave our pup behind while we travel but when we do we know we can trust Stella! She kept us in the loop with updates and pictures! Our anxious pup felt right at home with Stella!”
12. Noah L.
“Noah has taken care of my dogs, Django and Suki. For the duration of their stay with him, I felt confident that they were in good hands. I noticed that Noah has a good sense of command over the dogs, and they listen to him well. He was loving and attentive to them, and often sent me pictures of the dogs at the beach or on hikes with him. He clearly communicated any questions he had, and was overall and excellent person to trust with looking after Django and Suki. I would definitely leave them with him again, or reccommend him to anyone else looking for a reliable, professional, and fun dogsitter. ”
13. Melanie D.
“Melanie provided exceptional care for my senior dog while I was away over the weekend. He has special needs due to his age, including medication, and she handled everything perfectly. I felt at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. She sent me regular text message updates with pictures of my sweet boy, providing me peace of mind. Her attentiveness and compassion stood out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
14. Erin K.
“Erin was super attentive to our sweet Daisi and went the extra mile to make her comfortable while we were away. She looked after our house and was calm and collected when a minor emergency came about. She resolved it and kept us totally in the loop. We will absolutely ask her to come again!”
15. Lauren ..
“Lauryn is AMAZING!! This was our first time ever using someone we didn't know to watch our fur baby. We were very nervous cause our girl has an anxiety disorder. Lauryn very lovingly gave our Willow the time and space she needed to adjust to the change. She communicated with us thru the whole process and sent us pictures and videos which set our minds at ease. We could see the care and respect she gave her and our home! And on a personal level Lauryn is so caring and easy to connect with! We will be keeping in touch for sure!”
16. Ezra H.
“I have hired Ezra a few times and I was definitely pleased my dogs loved her and they were always happy to see her when she arrived at my home. I found her to be very responsible and respectful.”
17. Olivia V.
“Olivia was absolutely fantastic! She made sure my senior dog felt very well loved and nurtured when she watched him while I was out of town. This trip was busy so I wasn't as available to respond but she still made sure she was sending frequent updates and pictures. I'd recommend Olivia to anyone with a senior pup needing some love while their parents are away and will hopefully be using her services again!”
18. Jacob B.
“Jacob has watched my cats three times now this past year. He has been super reliable, follows instructions and I always feel comfortable amd relaxed knowing that my kitties are in good hands while I am gone. Besides being a great pet sitter, Jacob has the best, most positive attitude and my cats seemed to respond to him right away. He's cheerful, funny and kind, I highly recommend him.”
19. Carly W.
“To whom it may concern, Carly is one of the most genuine people I've had the privilege to meet. I know she loves dogs, and grew up with them. She is also very concerned with animal welfare of all living creatures. She is a reliable and responsible person. Thanks for your time Sincerely Chad”

About: Hi! I am an adventurous person looking for new experiences while caring for pets of all kinds. I have been around animals my entire life and love them dearly. My cat recently passed away and it has been a huge change not caring for an animal since I had her for 18 years. I am a trustworthy person. I don’t party, drink, or smoke. Your home and pets will always be taken care of while I’m there. I enjoy nature so walking and hiking are apart of my daily life. Your pups will always get walked for the time you recommend. I hope to meet you soon and be of service to you and your pet babies! I’m currently have a flexible schedule so please reach out so we can set up the best time and days that work best for you. I can easily follow whatever directions are given to me. My goal is to care for your pet just as if it is you caring for it yourself. I’m comfortable going to houses and can send updates to assure you they are safe taken care of.
