“Thank you Paloma for taking care of our 3 babies in our home. Paloma is very sweet and kind with out babies. We recieved pictures and on the last day we recieved videos.”


“Alison took great care of my two older dogs, including a complicated medication regimen. She’s communicative, trustworthy, responsible, and kind. And she sent wonderful photos each day!”


“Jewel did a wonderful job stepping in with little preparation when my friend couldn’t stay with my pups while I was away. After a video meet and greet, Jewel came and figured out my pups complicated routines. She messaged when she had questions or concerns. Her co-sitter, Scout, was good with my dogs and extra careful with my elderly blind guy. My old guy, PV, wasn’t eating and we figured out that he had been missing his heart medication as well as his pain medication! As soon as his medication was straightened out, he was back chowing down. He fell in love with Jewel, leaning on her for pets — which he never does! Pearl, the diva head of the household, fell for Jewel right off and followed her around and slept with her and Scout. Not only did Jewel take great care of the pups, walking them daily and brushing them, she kept up the house so it was neat when I returned, took out the garbage, got the mail, and did poop scooping in the back yard as well as watering the plants! I will certainly have Jewel stay with my dogs again when I travel. If you have pets you love that may have complicated medication schedules, Jewel can manage and I highly recommend her.”


“Mikayla was absolutely marvelous with all of our pets: 2 dogs, a cat and 4 guinea pigs. All absolutely adored the pampering and careful attention they received during the time that she house sat for us. She has superb attention to detail and provided the best quality care for the animals and our home. Highly recommend her for whatever your pet care needs are.”


“Dina is amazing! She took care of my 6 animals, including 4 herding dogs, and when I came home they were obviously well taken care of. Dina sent me daily photos and was very communicative. I will definitely be using Dina in the future!”


“Maddie was absolutely the best! She took such good care of our pup while we were away for two weeks. She sent us lots of pictures and spent tons of quality time with him. We came home to a spotless house and a happy dog. I can’t say enough good things about how wonderful Maddie is. So sweet and professional. We’ll definitely hire her for any/all future dog sitting.”


“We had just moved to Arizona and I was in need of a dog sitter. Was hesitant to use Rover due to past videos I’ve seen with negative experiences. After reading Kendrick‘s profiles and reviews, I reached out to meet up and make an introduction. Kendrick had a calm energy, easy to talk to, physically capable of walking two dogs and most importantly, my animals seemed to trust and respect him. Though we didn’t connect on the day I left or the day I returned, I feel confident he followed through on my requests and the dogs were taken care of. Yes, I would recommend him for watching your dogs or any other animal that he accepts❤️🔥”


“Jesse was a very conscientious pet sitter. Unfortunately, my two little dogs are not well-trained, nor well-socialized, and made a big noise whenever she entered the house. She was very good about letting me know the state of things while I was away. She did everything asked of her even though the going was rough. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs.”


“Gretchen was wonderful! Our two dogs and cat warmed up to her immediately, especially because she took the dogs on daily walks to their favorite places. We loved that Gretchen sent daily updates to keep us up to date of our pets’ antics. She also took great care of our home and garden. I will definitely contact Gretchen the next time we head out of town. I recommend her highly!”


About: My entire life has consisted of dogs and cats in the house and I love my furry pals. Currently co-parenting two senior dogs. Can teach sit, lay, stay and better walking habits. Also experience with animal home check-ups, feeding meds and little play dates. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I'm a stay-at-home artist with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work in a few pet care clients throughout the week or weekend. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I can usually adapt my day to meet your pet’s needs. Let’s chat and see how I can help! I always aim to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine—feeding times, walks, play, medications, and all the little things that help them feel secure while their humans are away. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and thoughtful about your pet’s environment. I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether it's giving extra love to a senior pet, administering meds, or just keeping a shy cat company, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Chelsea is great! This is the second time we have been lucky enough to book her for house sitting for multiple nights. She is responsible, responsive, and most importantly great with our two dogs. We will continue to reach out to her whenever we need sitting in the future.”


“Taylor took such great care of Murphy and our home while we were away on a weekend trip. She kept us updated and sent lots of photos! We will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Amber stayed at my house and took care of my dog, cat and lizard for 4 days. I felt comfortable having her at my home and she took great care of my pets! I would highly recommend her!”


About: I have over 9 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. For the past 5 years, I’ve raised and cared for my own dog; providing daily walks, consistent training, and lots of love. Before that, I spent 4 years dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and family, gaining experience with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and needs. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to older dogs with special routines. Safety, consistency, and affection are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I don’t start my new job until early November so I currently am very flexible with my time at the moment and can accommodate accordingly. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or yours, I prioritize comfort and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care plan closely including feeding schedules, walk times, medication (if needed), and favorite activities. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and strive to maintain your dog’s normal routine to minimize stress. In my home, pets have a calm, clean environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and receive attention. I keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Jamie was fantastic with my dogs. She gave them all the love and attention they desired, and kept me updated on how they were doing. One of my dogs was having some leg pain, and she went out of her way to accommodate him and help him get better. 100% will book again :)”


About: Hello! My name is Stephanie Austin. Growing up in rural Delaware, we always had at least one family dog who we took on long off leash walks and played with in our big backyard. Having so much space allowed for the opportunity to connect, bond with, and read our dogs while they were having tons of fun and just being themselves. Fun Facts: I have previous dog sitting experience, and I used to volunteer at my hometown SPCA, where I got to learn and play with over 40 different dogs. When I graduated high school, I adopted Minnie, and she has been by my side ever since. For twelve years, she has been my hiking partner, shot gun rider, and my little spoon. I understand that your dog has their own unique set of personality traits, and I look forward to learning them and playing with them! I currently work out of town Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. So I am home free from Friday through Monday. I am able to stop by your home several times a day to let your animals outside and spend time with them! Overnight house sitting is pending. I will ask for a run down of your pets daily routine and mirror that the best I can. Ensuring lots of pets, treats, and play time!

“Lyz was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two dogs, Molly and Wyatt, for 8 days and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was great—she sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We have a large, energetic 1-year-old shepherd who’s still very much in his puppy phase, and Molly, our 4-year-old, tends to be a bit skittish with new people. Lyz was incredibly patient, and Molly warmed up to her beautifully. She stayed in our home and treated it with the utmost care—we came back to everything exactly as we left it. It truly felt like she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. I would highly recommend Lyz to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and caring sitter. We feel lucky to have found her!”


“Mary was wonderful with my shy rescue dog, Dash. Her calm presence allowed Dash to warm up to her at his own speed, and before long he was giving her kisses. She was a trustworthy and courteous house-sitter as well. Thank you, Mary, for making my first trip away from Dash a pleasant experience for both of us.”


“Terrie just stayed in my house for a week, and did an excellent job. I had only had my dog from rescue for 6 weeks, and she made friends with him immediately. She walked him every day and sent photos daily. He was still having some potty issues and she handled it professionally. I felt like she went above and beyond concerning his potty issues. She left the house spotless, and even folded the sheets that were accidentally left in the dryer! I’d recommend her and would use her again.”

Monique L.
“Monique is a good friend to my four-legged babies. My partner and I have three dogs between us- two high energy rescues, ages 4 and 5 and a partially blind and stiff old gal, Zameek, age 15. Monique takes great care to make sure the kids are walked, played with and ready for naps while our distinguished older female gets all the lovin, pets and approved snacks she wants. I trust Monique with our dogs time and time again. For several years Monique has proven to be reliant, trustworthy, kind and caring. A++, 5-Stars, two thumbs up.”

Stephanie A.
“I recommend Stephanie because she loves pets, especially dogs. Dogs love Stephanie. She understands their needs beyond the average pet owner. She has good control with dogs. When she was old enough to drive, Stephanie would take the time to visit the dogs at the local SPCA, just to be there for the lonely dogs, who had no one else in the world. Stephanie knows what dogs try to pull on their owners, and how to discipline them effectively. She has had rabbits, ducks, hamsters, turtles, goats and dogs as personal pets. I know she is a dog lover, and she respects them. I have trusted her with my dogs for many years.”
