“Carla is wonderful. She is patient with my Pittie who is scared of life, and left the house spotless after a two night stay. I would not hesitate to have Carla watch Blue again, and is in fact already booked for more dates! ?”
“Glendon was wonderful. We had great confidence leaving our dog with him. He sent daily messages that included photos and videos. When we returned the house was immaculate, and Glendon had prepared dinner for us. We could not have had a better experience. We will try to get him any time we need a dog sitter in the future. Thank you Glendon!”
“Liseli is one of the nicest people I have met. My dog Jessey absolutely loved her from the moment she stepped in the door. She’s a fabulous communicator and incredibly neat. Perfect dogsitting experience! Thanks, Liseli!”

“One of my favorite Rover sitters! Communication was great! Fallowed directions. I came back after a long day to happy tired dogs. Falisity walked and played with my dogs. If you are at Shore Hills campground look for her on Rover”
“Extremely flexible with the last minuteness of our trip, scheduled a meet and greet beforehand even with a busy schedule, took excellent care of our dog while away, followed instructions, and went above and beyond to pick up our house afterwards. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Our dog Charlie is very shy and takes time to warm up to people. He loves Atlas. We know he is very well taken care of while we are gone. Our flight was delayed and she came back the next day to take care of him until we got home. She even cleaned up before she left. We are so grateful for her!”
“Morgen was fantastic, what a relief to find someone close by to watch our dog and give us peace of mind. We will definitely be looking to Morgen again in the future for any dog/house sitting needs!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my house for as long as I have been alive and have a great love for dogs and cats alike. I have years of experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work a full time job but have Sunday through Tuesday off every week and have plenty of time to drop in and feed or play with your pet as well as take your pet for a walk. I am un able to take dogs into my home as my current residence does not allow dogs, but I am more than happy to drop in to your home and take care of your pet.
About: Having previously worked at a humane shelter and a doggy daycare, I understand that dogs require a lot of care, love, and patience! I'm pretty good at reading their body language and I love putting in the extra work to get shy or reactive dogs to trust me. I will do everything I can to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for! My schedule is wide open to housesit, dog walk/enrichment, and check-ins whenever it's needed. Let me know what you and your pet need, and we can schedule something! I will do anything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable, entertained, and loved while you are away. You'll return to see the house just as you left it (with absolutely no judgment if it's cleaned or cluttered) and a happy pet!
