“We had a great experience with Leah! This was our first experience using Rover and didn’t really know what to expect. We really appreciated the daily reports and pictures from her visits with our cat. Bingo seemed to enjoy the visits and treats!”

“All I can say is amazing work and care! Jackie went over and beyond! We had an emergency and had to take an extra day and she delivered on call. Thank you so much for your great work and taking amazing care of Teddy! We will definitely keep Jackie on the top of our list for our next trip! Highly recommend!”


“Katherine was a Godsend! We had to leave our 3 dogs and 1 cat due to a death in the family. Our elderly dog was too old to be accepted at any of the kennels. Thanks to Katherine our 4 furry friends were able to stay home together. They were well fed and cared for without the added expense and worry of a kennel. Highly recommended.”

“Caitlyn is marvelous! My dog, Petey, does not trust right away. However, he warmed to her very quickly. He is glad to see her and enjoys his walks with her every time. Caitlyn is on time and very professional, as well as sensitive to my and Petey's unique needs.”

“Kristina has watched our babies twice so far. She is definitely trustworthy and caring with them. She is on time and sends us cute pictures which helps ease our minds knowing they're safe. Our English Bulldog is a bit shy and skittish, and she definitely warmed up to her right very quickly! I highly recommend Kristina”

“Maya was incredibly helpful, kind, and communicated well. She administered oral medications, communicated and handled a situation when my cat had broken into the cabinet to eat some human food, and sent updates with pictures! She truly helped ease the stress when I had to leave last minute for a trip. I will be booking with her again!”


“Samia is the best. We use her every time we're out of town. We have a very senior dog and she is amazing with him, and he loves her. I recognize Samia to everyone.”

“I'm SO very glad that I found Yuli when I started looking for a dog sitter to do multiple drop ins when I am out of town. My 4 derelicts do better in their own environment when I am away, as they are all rescues and have varying levels of PTSD/neurosis/and anxiety when I vanish for a few days. She can do short term or long term stretches and is often available on zero notice. Cannot say enough wonderful things about the multiple times she has looked after my pack. I know that she is real and a legitimate "dog person" as I see how they respond and react to her....and they ADORE her. It allows my heart and anxiety to rest knowing that she is looking after them. I trust her endlessly and know that you can too.”

“Kyra was so helpful and friendly. She did a great job with our dogs and communicated effectively with us when she would drop in and feed them. We would definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for years, I love hanging out with people’s pets especially cats and big dogs! This year my neighbor got a puppy and I was constantly over there helping with potty training and feeding her! I’m currently a college student with a pretty flexible schedule! On weekdays before 11 and after 3 I am free to walk your pups! Weekends will be a little more tricky for me since I am currently doing a 200 hr yoga teacher training. I’m a very high energy person willing to play and walk the distance! with your fur babies! I have two dogs and a cat back at home and if I wasn’t hanging out with my cat I was playing with the dogs!
“Jen is a true treasure! She treated my senior babies like her own & they loved her. She even got one of my shy cats to come out and be petted. Loved all the photo updates too. 100% recommended!”

“Karen was awesome. Gave us wonderful feedback and was so kind. She catered to my 3 cats with very distinctively different personalities. Fearful, playful and aloof. She always sent pictures. I was so happy to know that someone was checking in on them and making sure they were alright. The kitty cats were so calm when I returned. Thank you so much Karen!”


About: I’ve taken care of my own pups for three years now and have trained my own service dog. I am currently training my Blue Heeler who is reactive, I’m equipped for well behaved and unbehaved dogs. I’m currently unemployed but this is helping me reach my goal of getting my dog training certification. Any time, any hour: I’m able to take care of your pups. At your home your dog won’t be left totally alone for more than two hours under my care. I know for senior dogs and puppies this is even more important to make sure they are able to go out.
“I truly appreciate Trynitys care for my fur babies! She is very attentive to their needs and has amazing communication with me. It makes me feel so at ease knowing they are in good hands with Trynity!”

About: I’m great on short notice and I’m great at communicating with pet parents regarding any special instructions your pet may need while you’re away to ensure your best peace of mind and the happiness of your pet. I work during the week and my hours are very flexible o get off at 2 on Fridays and my weekends are more than always free so my sitting days would be Friday, Saturday , & Sunday I make sure your pet is fed/water bowl full with any special diet they may have, given medications and supplements if required, played with and given attention, and ensure they are safe and taken care of the way they would be if you were there. I take instructions very well and don’t mind a detailed list of needs for your pets
About: I have professional experience taking care of a variety of animals through my career in animal training as well as being a pet owner myself. I am passionate about providing a safe and enriching environment for all the animals I care for and can even provide behavioral training while they are in my care. I am more than comfortable cleaning up after your pets, providing exercise, adhering to a feeding schedule, providing medications as needed and keeping them stimulated throughout their day. I am currently working a full time job where my work schedule is from 7am-4pm Thursday-Monday. Anytime before and after my shift I could be available for any services requested. Tuesdays and Wednesday are my days off and can be available throughout the entire day. I can do various visits a day or nightly stays at the clients home. I have a personal vehicle for any type of transportation such as to dog parks or medical emergencies.

Leah took fabulous care of Buttercup for a week during our recent vacay. She gave insulin shots twice a day, fed, walked, and played on her visits and sent pics and detailed feedback. after each drop in. Thank you so much for your excellent service! Highly recommend!
She did great with our fur babies while we were gone for almost a week on vacation. It was such a comfort knowing she was checking in/spending time with them. They seem to have been very comfortable with her and it was nice coming home to happy tails/an intact house ☺️
