Angelisse was great! All four animals were well taken care of. She walked the dogs daily as asked and the house was spotless when we returned like she was never even there! Will recommend 100% and we will be using her in the future for our sitting needs!

Katie stayed at my house with my clingy senior pets (2 cats and 1 dog). She took great care of everyone (including cat meds) and kept me posted, including package deliveries and mail.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was young. We had a dog growing up, and I've taken care of other people's dogs too. Many dogs seem to instinctively get a good reading of me and warm up to me quickly. Right now, I'm making a career switch and have a lot of open time. My work search activities schedule varies, so I can easily juggle taking care of your pets. Some people say that I'm a "dog magnet." It's not unusual for dogs, even unfamiliar ones, to instinctively be drawn to me. I also make sure to read any messages or printouts about care and routines so I can get a good idea of the How, What, and Where.

KiAnna was fantastic. Our dogs loved her, and they were in great hands when we were away. Her experience as a vet tech was highly appreciated as the dogs are old and have medication needs that she was able to handle with no problems. Looking forward to having KiAnna back again next time we are out of town!

Carol is simply the best sitter I’ve ever used! She is so caring, kind and accommodating and provides sweet updates for my girl. I know that Harper is in excellent hands with her and will be so well taken care of. She loves the dogs like her own and will be SO missed after her move!!! Thank you 🥰

Joanna and her daughter are wonderful! I haven’t used Rover in a while and first time for a house sitting request so I was a little anxious. I am so grateful I found Joanna to take care of our two pups and home while we were away. Very communicative and sent every update throughout the stay. Left our home just as tidy. Super pleased she will be watching them again in a couple of weeks! Thank you Joanna and Amelia!

We booked her super last minute for Thanksgiving week and she came and did a meet and greet next day and was very sweet with our pets and sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend and will definitely connect with her again for care.

About: Grew up with a senior dog as well as sitting for all of my neighbors. Experience with all equipment (harnesses, leaders, muzzles, etc.) Available 24/7 for whatever care you need, want to make everyone happy and comfortable! :) I just graduated from Fordham in May and am fully remote for my internship this summer, so I am around all the time for whatever needs you and your family might have! When house sitting, I can stay in your home full-time if necessary to keep your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk schedule, and any specific instructions you leave, I believe consistency is key to keeping dogs calm and comfortable while you're away. I'm attentive to your dog's behavior and energy levels throughout the day, and I make sure they're getting enough activity, stimulation, and rest. I'm comfortable with all walking equipment including harnesses, gentle leaders, and muzzles, and always keep dogs secure on leash. I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. I send regular photo updates throughout the stay so you're never left wondering how your pup is doing. I'm happy to accommodate any special needs, medications, dietary restrictions, or quirks — just let me know what your dog needs and I'll make it happen.

About: I’ve had several dogs and cats to take care of since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and wanted to work with them in some way, so this is my way to do just that. I currently have a cat and I’m always spending time with my family’s cat and dog. I would love to care for other pets as often as I can. I always make sure that the pet is stimulated and getting enough love and affection. Pets need more than just food and water! I make sure to meet as many needs as possible.

About: Your dog is more than a pet — they’re family. We provide a warm, loving, and secure environment where your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

She was so fun. My dogs loved it, they were so worn out and hardly got up to see me when I came home after being gone for a few days. She’s absolutely amazing.

Margaret (Maggie) provided excellent care of my dog while I was away for an extended time. I am very grateful for the care she provided to him as I know he had lots of walks, lots of fun and companionship. Maggie always communicated well and we talked through my dog’s routine beforehand. While I was away, I received lots of pictures and pupdates. I would highly recommend Maggies’s assistance with any pet. Thank you very much !

This was my first time hiring a dog sitter outside of my own family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Isabel. I was impressed from the very start, not only did my dog warm up to her right away, but Isabel immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She asked all the right questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. During the stay, Isabel was fantastic with communication, sending regular updates and tons of happy, adorable pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Even when my dog unexpectedly needed an emergency vet visit (through no fault of hers), Isabel was completely on top of it. She could tell something wasn’t right and didn’t hesitate to act. She kept me informed throughout the entire situation and made sure my dog was okay and settled before leaving. On top of that, Isabel was able to watch my sister’s dog alongside mine, and she made the effort to meet both dogs beforehand, asking additional questions to make sure she could care for each of them properly. Every photo I received showed two happy, relaxed pups; it was clear they were in great hands. Overall, Isabel went above and beyond. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
