“Once again, you came to my rescue, allowing me to go out of town to see my grandkids. I’m so grateful for your service—it brings me such peace of mind knowing my puppy is in your loving and capable hands.”

“Thank you for taking good care of Sam! I felt very comfortable with her from the moment I met her at our meet and greet. We will definitely book her again.”

“I had the pleasure of having Sheena watch my two dogs, a lab and a doberman, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her care. From the first meeting she was professional, friendly, and genuinely excited to spend time with my dogs. She kept me updated with pictures and messages which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sheena to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“My first Rover experience went very well! We had a last minute emergency trip and had 24 hrs to find a sitter for a week. Rover to the rescue! Sean came over for the meet & greet so promptly and our fur babies were very at ease with him. After meeting Sean, my anxiety of leaving on such short notice was gone... I felt confident and comfortable having Sean house sit and everything went very well. Updates of pictures of our dog cuddling with him made me so happy that they were more than getting along. Sean was extremely professional at every point and my animals clearly loved him. We will book with him again or sure if need be!”

“Jenniffer was amazing with our little Frenchie!!! She arrived early, stayed late, and helped with feeding and medication. Her enthusiasm and communication are exceptional! We can't say enough kind words and appreciation for her.”

“Robin is a lovely person! She is very thorough - asked me about medications, restrictions, food etc for my dog. Robin arrived on time and my anxious pup was immediately at ease with her. I would highly recommend Robin to take care of your pet!”

“Dawn was warm, professional and reliable. I will totally use her again! I could tell that she had genuine care for animals and she had a great positive attitude. She was great about checking in and sending pics of my fur babies”


“Camille is incredible! If you want someone that will love and care for your dogs and home like you do, then look no further. She went above and beyond for our family. She took amazing care of our anxious mastiff and even watered my garden when we hit an excruciatingly hot and dry week. Her communication style is immediate and she quickly made me feel at ease about leaving our boy behind while we traveled for the week. As if that wasn’t enough, she came back to take care of Seamus when our flight was delayed. He was so happy with her stay that he didn’t even seem to care that we were gone. We will definitely be having Camille back when we travel again, because our dog wouldn’t have it any other way. We can’t believe how lucky we were to find such a loving and attentive sitter. She’s the absolute best!”

“I highly recommend Peggy as a dog sitter. She stayed over my house and watched my three dogs. I received frequent photos and could tell my babies were extremely happy and comfortable with her. She followed my instructions and when I got home my house was left straightened up and clean. Peggy gave me a sense of calmness and peace of mind knowing she was watching my furbabies while I was away.”

“Gary has done amazing with my Ollie from his first stay which does not usually happen. He is kind and calm, super focused and conscientious. A+ rating and you can contact me for more information”

“Marta is absolutely wonderful! She took the time to get to know our routine and meet our two pups before taking care of them. She was excellent with managing their schedule, cooking their food and taking care of them and our home while we were away. She has a gentle demeanor that our dogs loved. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes dogs deserve all the love, belly rubs, and happy walks they can get! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to older cuddle bugs — and I absolutely love spending time with them! Whether it’s a long walk, rough housing, or just cozy couch time, I’ll make sure your pup feels cared for, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their quirks and favorite things. You can expect lots of text updates, silly photos, and goofy videos! 🐾✨ I work unique hours during the week, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings for walks, drop-ins, and quality pet time. My flexible schedule lets me give pets consistent care and attention without feeling rushed. Safety is ALWAYS my first focus — keeping doors locked, leashes secure, and routines consistent. I’m attentive during walks and play, and always make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for.
“Susana was nice and prompt. She showed up to all Aurue on time and mostly listened to my direction however, I think there was a bit of a language barrier, and we had complications around communication several times. At one point there was some serious confusion that caused me a lot of stress. I appreciate her helping to take care of Aurie, but unfortunately due to Aurie being so young and the communication barriers we encountered, I don’t think she was the best fit for us.”

“My Ollie takes a while to warm to new people but Cory did it fast with his calm, kind and confident persona. Cory has walked Ollie a few times and stayed over in my house with him, and everything went great. I appreciate that!!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful! I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.

“Daniela was great! She took excellent care of our dogs as well as our home. She even went the extra mile to wash the sheets and make the bed before she left. She communicated with us often and sent us pictures as well! I would 100% recommend her and I would for sure book her again.”
