Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!

Maya was the best! She followed all of our instructions and gave our two kitties lots of love and attention. They clearly both came to adore her, and one of our kitties is very apprehensive of new people. We so appreciated the frequent check ins and she shared lots of photos and videos which always are a delight to see and helped us fully enjoy our travels. We have already rebooked her and very grateful for her!

Molly did a fantastic job with my dog Sammy! He can be a bit sad and anxious when I leave home, but she made him comfortable and gave him lots of snuggles. Molly sent lots of pics during her stay and left my house tidy. Would highly recommend her for house sitting your pup!

Renee was wonderful with our 4 pets! She house sat for us for a few days and followed all of our instructions. Everything went so smoothly. She was very considerate and was not afraid to ask questions during her stay, which I prefer. She went above and beyond taking our dogs on super long walks (which she def didn’t have to, esp in the winter weather!). I am thankful to have had Renee taking care of our animals and will def rebook in the future!

About: I’ve been professionally working with dogs for the past 7 years, with experience in grooming, boarding, and daycare settings. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications safely and comfortably when needed. I am certified in Pet First Aid/ CPR, and Safe Handling, so I am trained to recognize behavioral patterns and body language in both dogs and cats, allowing me to quickly understand when a pet is relaxed, anxious, stressed, or overstimulated-and respond appropriately to help them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work Mon-Fri as Dog Groomer, so the time I finish up for the day fluctuates depending on my schedule, and any obstacles we run into at the salon. I am typically out of work by/before 3pm, and I am currently available for drop-ins/ walks Mon-Fri from 3pm-10pm When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and comforting while their owner is away. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, shy cats, high-energy dogs, and animals that may need extra patience or space to build trust. Whether that means playtime, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, litter box cleaning, or simply providing calm companionship, I always take an individualized approach to each pet.

We're usually a little nervous leaving Greta with someone else, but Carlyle made us feel at peace that she was with someone who truly cared for her. Would 100% book again!

Grace was our dog sitter from July 3rd through the 6th, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took amazing care of Midnight, kept us updated throughout our trip, and looked after our home as if it were her own. We had complete peace of mind the entire time. Midnight needed medication while we were away, and Grace had no trouble giving it to him and making sure he stayed on schedule. That was a huge relief for us. When we got home, the house was just as clean and well cared for as when we left, which is such a wonderful feeling after traveling. We would absolutely book Grace again in a heartbeat! 😁

Nya truly is the best of the best! This was her second time watching our cat, Cowboy, and far from the last. Nya always sends detailed updates in the morning and night about Cowboy, along with tons of photos. She left our home spotless, where it looked cleaner than when we left! Cowboy loves her and we never are worried about him when he’s with her. We love Nya and would recommend her to anyone!

Incredible from start to finish. My first time using Rover and I will for sure be using Melanie again. She made the process so easy, was incredibly reassuring, dealt with the quirks of a new rescue (and non working washer) and I was 100% comfortable my dog was in the best hands. Would recommend without reservation

Nicole is a SUPERSTAR sitter. You can tell she is a true animal lover. She took such good care of my cat Nora and calmed my anxiety with frequent updates and pictures! I felt so relieved knowing she was at my home with Nora and I could relax on my vacation. I have already booked Nicole again for a future trip, and I highly recommend using her as a sitter for all your pet needs!
