“Valentina was on time and came prepared to stay with Tess overnight . Our dog Tess thought she was wonderful and was very happy having Valentina looking after her. We will definitely use Valentina again”
“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”
“Marci was so great! She took our weekend booking with less than 48 hours notice after having two other Rover sitters cancel on us. She even made sure to come out for a meet and greet. She was very friendly and learned the routines of our four dogs easily. She assured us that everything would be taken care of while we were away camping with limited cell service and she was right! Our dogs all loved her as soon as they met her! She was watching our home and dogs alongside a friend of hers and they both did fantastic. We came home to the dogs being brushed and a clean house. Marci and her friend were no doubt a gift to us. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“Maila was simply the best. She gave me peace of mind while I was away, and was incredible with my pups. She gave me daily, helpful updates and went above and beyond looking after our pups and house.”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats all my life. Along with caring for my own animals I have had friends, neighbors, and coworkers trust me to care for theirs while they have been out of town or worked long hours. I love every animal like they are my own. I have trained my own dogs from young pups to include house-breaking, safe socialization, and obeying simple commands. I am also a registered nurse so you can trust I can take on any requested medical needs of your pet as well. Pet care is part of my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own. Also, I am currently taking a break from my usual career in healthcare/ nursing, so my schedule is extremely flexible to care for others' pets as well. I adjust styles of pet care based off owner preference. I like to stick with what the owner does, to not break the animal's routine while the owner is away. I can guarantee your dog will get plenty of attention and exercise! My dog, Sierra, is well behaved and well socialized, and will make a wonderful playmate for other dogs of varying temperaments.
“Alora was great, would definitely recommend she kept our dog entertained and happy. The house was clean and she was very communicative as well as attentive. Our dog loved her, will definitely be contacting again!”
“Beth was amazing! I was extremely nervous about leaving our sweet boy but she made it the easiest it could have ever been! We had a pre-meeting before she actually watched him and during her stay she sent multiple pictures of our sweet boy! I wasn’t even sure if Keeno missed us while we were gone! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
About: I’ve been house/dog sitting for friends for years. I’ve taken care of elderly/diaper dependent dogs, medically fragile cats, blind dogs, and an unfriendly parakeet. Young or old, continent or incontinent- I take care of them like their owners would until they get home. I work an 8-5 job Tuesday through Friday. I would not be able to leave my job for check ins or potty breaks. I do not work on weekends or Mondays. I follow the instructions given to me when I pet sit. I clean up after myself and the pets. I am overly cautious with the house and the pets to ensure the owners have a carefree getaway.
About: I have taken care of dogs from dachshund size up to Irish wolfhounds and everything in between. I have trained several of my own dogs basic commands, such as sit, stay, shake and the fun one play dead. Animals have always held a special place in my heart and they will always love us unconditionally so it is our job to do the same for them. I am currently working part time and have a 3 day weekend. I would love to spend my extra time, taking care of your animals and making sure they feel like their owners never left. I have a fenced yard that also has grass and is very well taken care of to ensure there is room for your furry friend to play and have fun or just to go outside and have potty break! We live in a beautiful quiet neighborhood! I do have a child who is eight years old and loves animals just as much as I do, so extra help and extra fun! We currently have one female cat, who is up-to-date on all vaccines and is spayed. I would love to welcome your furry friends into our home or we can come to you whichever suits your animals needs. If pets do have a kennel they use at home that will be required to come with your animal, as I am not home 100% of the time.
“This was the first time I had Miranda house sit for me. She followed my instructions to the letter and kept me informed with pictures and texts everyday usually twice a day. It was apparent that my dog felt comfortable and at ease with Miranda. I plan to use her again. Thank you Miranda.”

Alisha N.
“Alisha has been my “go-to” pet sitter for many years. She is not only responsible, but also truly loves the dogs. She has learned each of their personalities and gives them undivided attention and care. We have a rescue who is extremely skittish and only comes to me—not even my husband can care for her. But Alisha is able to pet her and give her treats. I am always better able to enjoy my time away because I know, without a doubt, that Alisha will care for my animals as she would her own.”
Cheyenne T.
“Hello, my name is D’Lainey. I’m writing this testimonial for my friend Cheyenne Teem. Last year, I was diagnosed with epilepsy, neuropathy, and Guillian Barre Syndrome. I spent a month and a half up at Penrose/St. Francis hospital in Colorado Springs. While I was in hospital, Cheyenne came to my home and made sure my three cats were taken care of. By that I mean she fed and watered them, cleaned all three litter boxes, and spent some time to hang out, play with them, and keep them happy. I believe she would be an AMAZING fit for the position.”
