“Very professional very kind and went above a beyond for Athena. It’s nice to be able to work and know that my beautiful dog is taken care of halfway through the workday. It’s good for her and good for me. Mentally I’m able to focus on work with peace of mind. Her communication is fantastic and she is really good with Athena my German Shepherd.”

“Lauren was awesome on drop in visits and walks for us. Great communicator who let us know about a plumbing issue that arose while we were gone. We were very happy we booked again with her.”


“Rachael did an amazing job dropping to watch our 7 year old 110 pound retriever mix while we were out of town for several days. She was excellent to communicate with and I know she prioritized caring for our dog. We couldn’t have been more thankful for her dedication.”

“Didn't even think to ask for pictures but she took multiple good ones which is always good for reassurance. It was my first time using her and rover but will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Ashlea has been letting our 2 puppies out in the middle of the day for the last few weeks and has been fantastic. She has been flexible when my schedule changes and is completely reliable. We very much appreciate how she treats our dogs and highly recommend her.”

“Overall great experience. Not only was everything seamless but Mariah did a great job of taking pictures and updating me on each visit. This was not only very reassuring but also quite entertaining as well :)”

“Kristen is always very professional and reliable. I have a 110 pound male pup who is unsure of most people when he first meets them. She knew just how to respond to him and now he loves her! My other pup is a fence jumper and she always makes sure she is on her cable. Kristen is quick to respond and always sends pictures and uses Rover Cards. She is extremely polite.”

About: Growing up, outside of school I spent a good portion of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter and actively challenging kids around me to help provide care to pets in most need. Over the years, these experiences have translated into a unique skill set of tricks and techniques to provide your pet with the utmost attention and care they deserve. My goal is to offer any pet (cat, dog, any other small animal) under my supervision unparalleled quality of care and a loving home environment. My home is on a 4 Acre plot of land with a fenced yard. The fenced yard allows for free play at least once every 1-2 hours with my supervision. When on leash we can explore the other unfenced portion of the yard or neighborhood. Inside my home my wife and I have partitioned pet safe areas where they can freely roam. I have tons of toys for all sizes and want their stay to be a vacation for them. :) I have two small corgis that are extremely friendly and love to play with new friends. If bringing your animal to my residence is not convenient, I offer a pick up and drop off service for a round trip fee. My goal is to simplify your pet care needs, by providing unparalleled quality care, a loving home environment, and peace of mind that your family member is being taken care of by a loving family I work at home as a front-end software developer, my work schedule is flexible meaning I can provide as much attention as your pet deserves I have a climate controlled room that has doggy doors that allows them to free roam inside and in the yard (with supervision). Most services needed or requested can be accommodated. Pets are allowed to roam inside my home or in my yard with my supervision. I take dogs on at least 3 walks a day if weather permits. I can accommodate most requests I currently work a part-time job from home that allows for a ton of flexibility. That being said I have a ton of time to play with your pups and give them the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible and I seek to make things as convenient as possible for you. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that are always looking to make new friends. When boarding I make sure to keep a close eye on any pet in my supervision. I have spare crates, bowls, blankets, and a mountain of toys to play with. In the summertime I have dog pools, sprinklers, and lots of fun
“Carolina and Jenerth were excellent cat sitters and would 100% book with them again! my cat is very shy, but they were able to get her out from under the bed and playing. They went the extra mile with her as well as with my home. Each day, I received thoughtful updates and adorable photos, which made me feel at ease. Highly recommend this them for anyone needing a compassionate and dedicated caregiver!”

Rene took such great care of our 16-week-old puppy, Josh, while we went to dinner. She immediately made us feel comfortable and was so knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, and wonderful with him. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We feel so lucky to have found her and are already looking forward to booking with her again the next time we’re visiting Nantucket!

Caisey was both professional and friendly! She really took the time to get to know my cat and made sure to accommodate care to her level of comfort. She was reliable, communicative, and overall a really great pet sitter! It was our first time leaving our fur baby for longer than a couple of days - Caisey was very understanding and sent TONS of photos throughout the care experience. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing an invested pet sitter!

It’s good for her and good for me. Mentally I’m able to focus on work with peace of mind. Her communication is fantastic and she is really good with Athena my German Shepherd.

Ava was absolutely incredible caring for our two dogs! From the moment I met her, it was clear how responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. One of our dogs requires medication, and Ava handled everything flawlessly—she was consistent, careful, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Ava kept us updated with messages and photos. Both dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when we returned. Ava went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we found her.

Lauren is amazing!!! We needed a sitter last minute and she was a champ! She is very flexible. She got snowed in at our house and then came back an extra day when our flight was delayed. She sent pictures of our dogs lounging on her lap and looking very safe and cozy! This is the second time we’ve used Lauren and would highly recommend her!
