“Jayden always does such a phenomenal job with my senior cat. My kitty is rather incontinent and very old, so naturally it is difficult to leave her with many people, but Jayden always treats her so well. They always ask specifically what my cat needs, keep me well updated, and my house cleaner than I left it. I never feel like I'm bothering them when I text and ask for updates. They really understand how hard it can be to leave your pet and that makes it so much easier to relax on vacation. Jayden is the only pet sitter we will use!!”


“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”


“Kathryn has watched our 3 dogs numerous times now and she always does a fantastic job. She gives us timely updates and goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are well taken care of while we’re gone.”


“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”


“Anais was very communicative - she sent lots of pictures. She kept the place clean and was respectful. I would book her again. She was accommodating with special needs of my dog.”



“I cannot recommend Kat enough! Not only did she take excellent care of my dog, but her attention to detail and thoughtfulness were truly exceptional. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent adorable photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. What truly impressed me was how she went above and beyond to keep my home in great shape. After a surprise dust storm, Kat even took the initiative to wash my windows, leaving them sparkling clean. This was completely unexpected but so appreciated! On top of that, my house was left spotless, and my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I’ll absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend Kat to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional dog sitter.”


“Nicole was wonderful! She messaged me everyday on how my dog and cat were doing with pictures or videos. She stayed for like 10 days in our home with them so we are very grateful!”


“Repeat bookingbw Patrick! He does a great job taking care of our big doggies (who are a handful) while we are out of town. We always trust that they're ok when he's watching them! Will book again”


“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”


“Cristian was perfect with Mochi! The meet and greet was super helpful and he was super easy to communicate with. He sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout the day to keep me updated. If I am ever back in town, I will definitely book with him again! :)”


“Very happy with Daniela as a pet/house sitter while we were overseas for 2-weeks. We don’t speak a common language, but my pets don’t speak English or Spanish either, so I wasn’t gonna let a language barrier be the sole reason to not hire someone. We used an audio translator app during the meet & greet, and most apps/ txt auto translate. I did provide an emergency contact of a bi-lingual friend. Thankfully we didn’t need to involve her. At the meet & greet, we practice giving my anxious cat’s oral tablet medication with dry kibble, and she was pretty good at it within a couple tries. Reassured me she would be able to administer when we’re gone. She sent regular photos/updates of our pets which always makes us happy and comfortable while traveling. We even had some HVAC issues while we were away, and Daniela was a trooper the whole time. Twice she helped coordinate a technician coming to the house since we couldn’t be there. She left the house very clean, trash taken out, bed made. Brought all our mail in. Watered the few plants we asked. Etc. I hope she’s available next time we travel. Thank you!”


“Maggie was very thorough and thoughtful. She took great care of our pets and our home while we were away. She followed our instructions well and even thought of things we hadn't. She spent lots of time with our babies and made sure they got some extra attention. Maggie was great, would highly recommend.”


“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”


“Patricia was absolutely a star for us. Bucket loved having her here and was sad when she left. We will absolutely use Patricia again and appreciate everything she did for Bucket. The care was immaculate and much appreciated!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years providing me with a diverse range of experience with dogs of varying temperaments, including anxious and reactive dogs. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate towards taking care of your pet(s)! I am currently available Monday - Friday for walks and am able to fit most requests in due to working a remote schedule. In my client's home, I am to replicate the pet's home environment as closely as possible. I respect the owner's rules and preferences for their pets, following any specific instructions they provide. If a client wishes, I can provide regular updates to the owner including messages, photos, and videos to keep them well-informed about their pet's well-being. Ultimately, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of the pets I care for, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their owners.

“Travis is a fantastic pet sitter. He watched my puppy, my bigger, older dog, and my cat while I was in Detroit for a weekend getaway. This is my second time using Rover as my first time did not go well and now I usually am too afraid to trust anyone else with my animals. I was kept updated (but not too much) and I can tell by their mannerisms that they were well cared for. I am planning on using Travis’s services again later this summer when I’ll be gone for ten days. He is a kind, empathetic, and considerate pet sitter.”


About: I’ve taken care of a number of dogs in my family and love to take them on walks or house sit! I’ve had my three cats for about 8 years now, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention our pets need to feel safe and happy. Living with them has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities—from playful energy to those more independent “I’ll come to you when I want snuggles” moods. I’m also comfortable caring for pets at different life stages. I enjoy working with doggies on basics like crate training, leash walking, and positive reinforcement, and I have experience with senior pets who may need medication, a slower pace, or a little extra comfort and care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I make sure pets feel loved and secure. And since I know how important updates are when you’re away, I love sending photos and notes so you can relax knowing your furry family is in good hands. I currently work from home three days a week so I’m able to stop by and look after your pets as needed throughout the week. I’m able to adjust my schedule to drive on over and take them on walks or feed them as my schedule allows. When it comes to caring for pets, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. In your home, I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure in their familiar space. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are always available, and any special instructions—like medications, feeding schedules, or exercise needs—are followed carefully.

About: Dogs gravitate me & vice versa I have loved and cared for two Wheaton Terriers for a total of 18 years and don’t plan on stopping One day at a time, one week at a time I can adapt to any schedule. I like to stay busy so I am capable of juggling several jobs. I will earn your trust quickly The dogs will like me right away because I am playful. I will keep them active & occupied to make sure they are healthy and happy.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in Grammer school. At one point in my life I shared a home with four roommates with pets. All together we had 3 dogs and 4 cats at one time. I have had 3 cats in my lifetime as well. My family, wife and daughter, currently have no pets,(our family Doberman passed a few years ago)so it seems the perfect time to provide care for your pets in your time of need. I currently work part time in the music industry and real-estate. I have flexible days to offer for your pets. My wife and daughter are also very good with pets. In a way, you get 3 care givers for the price of one! I have a spacious backyard that has a secure 6 foot wooden fence all the way around the property. My family and I currently do not have pets besides our fish, Blueberry, so all our attention can be focused on your loved one.


“Tamara was an excellent pet sitter. She showed up for the meet & greet before our scheduled time. Big plus for us! She was communicative during the time we were away & we hope use her again the future.”
