“Victoria did a great job watching my two cats for a week! She was very communicative and the cats were very comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her catsit again!”
“David is a great sitter! He was communicative and responsible, and Carly had a great time playing at the park and on her walks with David. I would absolutely ask him to sit again!”
“Alana was wonderful. She was responsive, thoughtful, and reassuring with our initially anxious shepherd cross- overall a great Rover find. We've already booked her for another stay!”
“Victoria was a great dog sitter! She was able to accommodate my last minute request. I felt very comfortable with her watching my large dog while I traveled. She asked lots of important questions during our meet and greet and followed my instructions closely. She provided daily updates with pictures, which ensured me my dog was getting the best care! Her communication was great and I appreciated that she left my house clean for when I returned. Will definitely have Victoria sit for me again in the future!”
“Thank you Kathleen for taking such good care of our dog and cats on such short notice. It gave us such peace of mind and look forward to future stays!”
“Ani is a fantastic sitter, she accepted a last minute booking request and was super communicative. She did a great job handling my pup who is very shy at first with new sitters.”
“Sara took wonderful care of Charlie and I would certainly leave him with her again. Even though he can be shy, Charlie took to Sara the first time he met her which put me right at ease. It was easy to communicate with her and it was so nice to receive pictures of them together. When I returned it was obvious that Charlie was well taken care of and that my condo was left as clean and neat as I left it!!”
“Ethan did a great job dog sitting! Our dog reacts to other dogs and he was calm with her and handled her very well. He kept in touch and sent pictures and updates. We came home after a long stay of about 11 days away to a happy and healthy dog. Would highly recommend Ethan!”
“We just had Charlene care for our cats during a long weekend getaway, and once again she exceeded our expectations! Charlene is our trusted go-to cat sitter because she treats our pets like her own. She’s incredibly thorough with the daily essentials - keeping litter boxes spotless, ensuring fresh water and food are always available - but what really stands out is her genuine love for animals. Both of our cats (even the super skittish one!) clearly enjoy her visits and the quality time she spends with them. It’s such a relief to travel knowing the furry family members are in such capable and caring hands. Charlene’s consistency and dependability have earned our complete trust, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to fellow pet parents!”
“Melissa was great! The dogs were happy campers, the house was spotless, and she was a great communicator! We'll definitely book again when we have a need.”
“Halleen was so kind and loving to our dog. We felt so comfortable allowing her to stay at our house. She did such a great job, communicated well and in additions to walking, she took our dog to play at the local park a few times over the weekend. We can’t wait to have her look after our dog again. Fantastic job.”
“Very nice man and gentle with my older dog. Was good communicator and I would use him again. Thanks!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 15 years, and have always had a large, loved dog of my own. More experience with adopted/rescue dogs than breeder dogs Currently working full time, but will be a law student starting in August, so will have much more availability during the weeks and also during the weekend. I am more comfortable taking care of your dog in their own home, as I have a dog who can be slightly reactive back home
“Devon was lovely to our two dogs who have very different needs. She came over and met them first, took great care of each of them, and sent lots of pictures. Thanks Devon!”
“Yi did a fantastic job watching our 10 month and 2 month old Lagotto Romagnolo puppies. These pups can be a handful so we appreciate the care Yi took watching the pups and our home.”
About: I have had dogs for over 20 years, for me they are as much a part of my family, as the people in it. I take so much pride an joy taking care of my fur friends, I hope to provide you pet with the same care and love I give my own. Currently working for myself, so i have some morning and afternoon flexibility to help keep your fur baby feel loved. available to pet sit on weekends and some long weekends. I will care for your pet in your home to the particulars you outline. After having both puppies and dogs, i am very well versed in many basic first aid needs of dogs in different stages of life.
“Natalie was a wonderful sitter while we were away. My dog is very attached to me and she was able to keep him distracted. She sent pictures. Definitely recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes- from shitzus to boxers, I’m your girl! I have experience house sitting, dog walking, and taking care of dogs. I work full time as a nurse and am in graduate school. My schedule is variable based on my work’s needs. I’m currently only available once or twice a week. If you see that I’m not available on your preferred day, please reach out so we can discuss options! Your pet’s safety is my biggest focus. Being able to provide a loving, trustworthy interaction is my top priority. I treat all pets like my own!
About: As a person who has spent most of my life with all kinds of animals, I am a big advocate for their emotional well-being. I would love to be that familiar face that soothes your dogs anxiety, someone s/he looks forward to seeing, not just for exercise and a bathroom break, but for human companionship. And truth be told, I'm in it for the exercise and four-legged companionship myself. After having pets all my life, I find myself without furry friends at the moment. I've parented three dogs, one cat, and five guinea pigs, and have sat with or boarded both dogs and cats for friends throughout my adult life, starting in college. Nothing is more important to me than their welfare and I can be trusted to keep them safe and happy. Each animal is an individual with his or her own biases, but I find that, in general, animals tend to gravitate towards and trust me. But I'm happy to have a meet and greet to see if that is indeed the case and put us all at ease. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Thank you for reading my profile. I work from home as a freelance graphic designer and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I am reliable and understand the importance of routine in your pet's life and will make it my priority to maintain that routine. I do not offer boarding services at this time but I am available to care for your pet in your home. I am extremely respectful of your privacy and will only go where I need to to care for your pet.
