“Annmarie was amazing! Having her stay in our home to watch our fur baby gave us peace knowing she was being well-cared for. We came home to a clean house and a happy pup!”


“Suzy was wonderful! My puppies are a bit of a handful, but she took good care of them and wanted to come back. She stayed in excellent contact as well, which is always appreciate. She's delightful and I will be booking her again!”


“Breyona was awesome to work with! She arrived on time, provided updates throughout her stay, and my home was clean when I returned. My dogs love to play, and she made sure they had lots of play time. She is also easy to reach through text - very responsive. I highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve been passionate about caring for animals my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, or just some quiet cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for senior dogs with special needs, so I’m confident handling medications, special diets, and unique routines. Your pet will be treated like family with me! I am currently available most days of the week to take care of your furry friends I only can’t work on Tuesday's but can be flexible to rearrange my schedule if given enough time. I currently have only a very spoiled indoor bunny at my house so boarding at my house is unavailable but I am totally going to show you pictures of him. But I am the pet sitter for my family and friends so I’m use to the change of environments. So if your pet has cute quirks and unique schedule don’t worry I am totally on board. I understand having someone new enter your families environment is super hard but I am here to keep your furry friends safe and do things at your pace.

“Gabby & Kade were excellent house and dog sitters. They’re communicative and kind. What I appreciated the most was the meet and greet before hand taking the time to really know the dogs and discuss expectations. They kept me up to date daily with three daily updates and left the house and my dogs in great condition. I would recommend them to others looking for a weekend or long term house sitter.”


“Erika took my booking on short notice. She communicated well, sent me pictures of Huxley while I was gone and relieved the stress of wanting my dog to be taken care of while I was away. Thank you Erika!”


“Livvi did a great job watching my pups! After a string of terrible rover sitter experiences, I was very nervous about having another sitter come over to watch my boys. She communicated very well, followed instructions, and gave my pups plenty of attention! She was very professional and asked all the right questions during the meet and greet. It’s clear that really enjoys her job and takes it seriously. I would not hesitate to hire her again.”


“Emilyanne is a gem. We have never had anyone come stay in our home and watch our older dogs and so I was a little nervous about the experience. Emilyanne was extremely communicative sending us pictures of our girls while we were gone. They obviously felt very at ease with her. Something I was not expecting at all is Emilyanne cleaned our house and washed our sheets on our bed and even made us a little snack so when we came home late, everything was nice and tidy. She went above and beyond taking care of our dogs and our home! I wish I could give more stars. We love Emilyanne!!”


“Kat took amazing care of our fur babies and house! Our dogs instantly liked her and felt comfortable with her. Kat was very kind, respectful, had good communication, and you can tell she is an animal person! We will definitely use her again to dog sit!”


About: I'm quite versatile and can adapt to stressful situations easily, should they arise. I have experience raising my own pets, helping raise others, and training pets. I can provide care for pets of any size, species, and age. I administer medications, provide ample playtime and exercise, and most importantly, snuggle to the heart's content (so long as your pet tolerates it). I've sat in the past for birds, lizards, dogs, cats, and fish, and I'll love your animals nearly as much as you do! I'm quite passionate about keeping spaces clean and comfortable for the pets as well, as I am quite organized and know that nobody wants to work with a disorganized sitter. Pet sitting is my full-time occupation as of right now, so I can be there for your pets whenever they need it. I do have a busy schedule, but I will always ensure that your animals come first and I can be with them as often as they need it. I always ensure that pets are treated as well as the humans in the household. I like to sleep and snuggle with pets, take them where I go as much as is permitted, and play with them outside as often as possible. I am not quick to force animals to spend time with me, I always let them have the choice to approach me first, but if they adjust quickly and enjoy my company, I really lay on the love.

“I recently hired a Elexa to take care of my boxer, Coco, while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Elexa was professional, reliable, and most importantly, took excellent care of my dog. I was impressed with the level of attention and care that was given to Coco, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. Elexa went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable and happy, and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that were sent to me while I was away. I would highly recommend Elexa to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Karla was fantastic, it was a long trip for us and I didn’t worry at all about the care she was giving as she kept me informed with photos and messages. She left my house spotless as well.”


“Kaitlyn was amazing! This is the first time we used Rover and from the first initial contact and meet and greet, we immediately felt like Kaitlyn would do well with our pups. Our older dog gets quite a bit of anxiety when we leave which can turn into aggression sometimes, but Kaitlyn wasn’t afraid and was understanding/aware of how to handle the high stressed/anxious dog. She was comfortable giving anxiety meds as well. We will definitely be using Kaitlyn again and felt very relieved and comfortable having her watch our two dogs and house while we were away on vacation.”


“She was amazing. She was patient with my dogs, especially my dog that is timid around new people. My dogs absolutely loved her and she kept me updated on everything and answered any questions I had and responded to my messages. She also sent me photos of them all happy and cuddled up, which was a relief. I would definitely be booking her again, she is amazing and definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her.”


“Jessica was great! Very communicative and went the extra mile with check out - started the dishwasher, took the trash cans out for pickup, picked up dog poop, and the house was super clean when we came back! The dogs were calm and we felt they did great with house sitting versus boarding them. Will 100% book again very soon! Thank you again, this was a great experience for us.”


About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all backgrounds. Animals have always been a passion of mine so being able to take care of them would be a dream! I only currently have a part time job, so it’s very easy for me to fit pet care into my life. I take care of my own dogs on the daily so I’m used to balancing pets and work! I am very attentive and love being around animals, so I will always have an eye on your pets. I’m also very physically active so playing with your pets will be very important to me!

Rachel P.
“Rachel pet sat for us for 9 days - we have 2 dogs (including a puppy), a cat and her 2 kittens, so a busy bunch, and this was the first time we had left the puppy & the kittens.
