“Carole was nothing short of amazing! I have 2 senior dogs, one of whom is very “particular” as far as the people she likes. Carole was able to walk her and care for her without any issues. I received photos and updates and felt completely at ease knowing that they were in good hands.”

“Alex is great with animals, respectful, kind, caring and compassionate. She is great with communication and made me feel like my pets were being well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.”

“Emily did a fantastic job watching Tuukka while we were traveling to India for a wedding. She sent daily updates with lots of photos and we knew our pup was well take care of when we were away!”

“Catherine did a great job house sitting and pet sitting my golden retriever for 5 nights. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process and left my home clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to book with her again!”

“Jessica Z stayed in my house with my 14 y/o blind Boston Terrier. She was wonderful. I received daily updates and photos, she clearly took excellent care of my pup. She left my place spotless and I would highly recommend her. She is excellent and I will definitely use her again.”

“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”

“Could not recommend more! Was amazing with my dog and when I got stuck and had to stay an extra day got me out of a tight spot by continuing to look after my dog! I would recommend to anyone and will be using again!”
“Evelyn did a fantastic job taking care of our pup for a long weekend. She made sure he had food, plenty of walks, and all the snuggles while we were gone. Thanks for everything, Evelyn!!”

“Keisha was amazing! She helped us out when another sitter cancelled. She took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away! She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and kept us posted the whole weekend! She truly understood and embraced my dog’s personalities! I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”

“The best Rover sitter I have had. Communicative, clean, great with Gertie, and an all around kind, responsible, and trustworthy person. Thank you Acacia! It means the world to me 🥰”

“Jackie took such great care of Daisy for me while I was out of town for several days. I didn't worry about a thing while I was gone, she sent texts with photos and updates. Everything was fantastic and I will definitely call her again!”

“Riley continues to be our first choice - our high maintenance and not super friendly boys love her, and we really appreciate the extra stuff she does for us like watering the plants!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and stay with their pets while they’re away. I especially enjoy longer stays because it gives dogs time to feel comfortable and settled, and I love being able to build that trust with them. One of my favorite parts is taking dogs on enriching walks, keeping them active, engaged, and happy, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to keep up with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship, especially during longer stays when consistency and routine are important. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine and giving them lots of attention and care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of clients’ homes, and committed to providing reliable communication and updates throughout each stay.
“We met Travis for a meet and greet ahead of time and he was always very attentive, friendly, communicative, and willing to listen. He took great care of our pup for a week and kept our apartment just how it was when we left. We're looking forward to working with him again in the future!”

“Kathryn is just wonderful! She is patient, kind, and our boys have the best time with her when she watches them - you can feel their joy through the lovely updates she sends. :) Highly recommend her for all your pup-sitting needs!”

“Madeline house sat for me for over a week and did a great job with my timid Chihuahua and Cat. She gave me daily updates and handled their daily routine and activity needs effortlessly. My dog who's slow to warm up to new people was actually sad to see her leave by the end of the sitting period. Highly recommended.”

Kyla was beyond amazing & wonderful with my 2 cats! She took time to observe & learn how I normally do my pet care; she even came over a day before I left so she could feed, change water, clean litter box, use the vacuum & empty it, etc…. My boys LOVED HER from the first day they met her. She updated me with photos, videos & messages about them which was really fun & much appreciated..Kyla was very respectful of my living space…she even cleaned it and did laundry before I came back home!! She took the cats on walks, took time to acquaint herself with staff & people in my building. She left a lovely card for me. My goodness… I just can’t say enough to describe how pleased & grateful I am for Kyla & her incredible love & care of my cats as well as her respect for me & the whole community I live in. She will be welcomed back in a heartbeat!

Madeline house sat for me for over a week and did a great job with my timid Chihuahua and Cat. She gave me daily updates and handled their daily routine and activity needs effortlessly. My dog who's slow to warm up to new people was actually sad to see her leave by the end of the sitting period. Highly recommended.

Jamie was simply amazing & incredibly reliable! I was in the UK for nearly one full month and Jamie house sat with my two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is very high energy and the other is 15. During my travels, my older dog, Macy, developed a second round of vestibular disease. Jamie immediately noticed the change in Macy's coordination and reached out to me. We coordinated a same-day visit to the vet, followed by regular medication. The condition required Jamie to carry Macy up and down the stairs for the remainder of the sit. Jamie took care of Macy while still ensuring my high-energy dog got the play time he needed. I cannot say enough about Jamie's dedication and communication skills. Highly recommend!
Lily absolutely exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail, genuine care and concern for my pups, and thoroughness! My dogs were well taken care of with feeding, walking (carefully in a heat wave), fireworks, and just general companionship. I also returned to my home probably looking better than how I left it - well cared for, cleaned, and plants alive and well. The daily updates were fantastic and very reassuring. Lily is amazing and I hope we can book again :)

Travis took incredible care of our two dogs and handled a genuinely chaotic situation with so much calm and flexibility. The night before we left, our AC failed during a heat wave. While we were stuck across the country juggling an HVAC company and a landlord who wasn’t prioritizing the issue at all, Travis kept the dogs safe, comfortable, and monitored. He checked in regularly so we knew how they were doing, and he adjusted his schedule so repairs could be made. His support made a huge difference for our peace of mind during a very stressful situation for us and I’m sure him. One of our dogs is anxious, skittish, and extremely high‑energy, and Travis did an amazing job letting her warm up at her own pace while still getting her out for consistent walks. Both dogs were well cared for the entire stay. We’re so grateful for how he handled everything and will absolutely book with him Again. Thank you Travis!

Riley was wonderful with our boys. They are relatively recent rescues, so have some behavioral quirks. Riley quickly sussed out how to approach the boys. She sent regular updates and photos, which I so appreciated!! I wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with Rocky and Gordo anytime!
