“Trena was wonderful with our dogs! We have a rescue who can be scared/aggressive and she handled her perfectly. She was clean, helped out and sent me lots of pictures! Would definitely use her again!”
“Tammy is an excellent pet-sitter and companion. We appreciate all of the updates, photos and how well should take care of our senior dog, Lola. We will be using Tammy again for our upcoming trips.”
“Kaitlyn you were so sweet! Thanks for taking care of my pups and following instructions and leaving the house just as you came in!! ? you will definitely be used again!”
“Mariah was a pleasure to work with! She had amazing communication, took great care of my dogs, cat and house. She sent pics, was on time and just overall an amazing sitter! We will def be using her again 😍”
“Austen was great! Came for a meet n greet beforehand and made sure she asked everything she needed. Took great care of my dogs while I was gone. I was out of cell service most of the time, but she still sent a few photos and updates which were nice to see when I did get service. Left my home in great condition, too. Thanks so much Austen!”
“Megan took great care of Maxine. She was very communicative and kept me updated on how Max was doing along with plenty of pictures (many of which featured a happy and smiling dog) Would recommend to others and have no hesitations about booking again.”
“Allison was an absolute lifesaver! She agreed to house sit our dogs with only a day’s notice and even made time to come meet them beforehand—bringing her adorable and easygoing dog, Gin. From the start, she was incredibly communicative, letting us know her schedule, when she arrived and left, and how walks and feedings went. She sent us updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. (: Allison is friendly, fun, and personable, and she truly went above and beyond. When she found out we were new to the area, she shared tons of great local recommendations. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you so much, Allison! Have so much fun on your thru-hike of the Superior Hiking Trail—we know you’re going to have an amazing adventure! :D”
“Morgane was very communicative and clean in our home. We were able to easily trust her with our little guy (who can sometimes be a bit anxious). We can tell he was very comfortable with her!”
“This is the first time we have used Rover! Katie was great! Super understanding of our quirky Boston Terrier! Took great care of him and our kitty. Will be using her again for sure!”
“Delaney was so wonderful with our dogs! We had never left them for a full week, so I was nervous about this. She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates. I could tell our dogs were comfortable and happy through the pictures and videos she would send. She stayed in our apartment and also left it spotless. I would highly recommend booking Delaney next time you need a dog sitter!!!”
“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! Her care for my dog and cat went above and beyond all expectations. Throughout her stay, she provided regular updates and photos, keeping me connected to my furry companions. She even patiently took the time to hand-feed my dog who goes on hunger strikes when I am away. Taylor's dedication, respect, and passion for animals make her the perfect choice for any pet or house-sitting needs, and I can't recommend her enough!”
“This was Taylor’s second time doing a longer overnight stay (6 nights). As always, he took good care of our pups and provided updates. House was well taken care of as well!”
“Sarah did an incredible job watching our 2 dogs at our home for a few days. She was communicative, thoughtful and through. We greatly appreciated her help. Highly recommend her services.”
“Olivia is fantastic!! She was so great with Archie and I already plan to have her stay with him again for my next trip. She is very communicative, left my apartment in perfect condition & took such good care of Archie!”
“Amberly was hands down the most caring and attentive pet sitter. One of our dogs gets separation anxiety and has a hard time eating when we are gone, but this was no issue for Amberly! She took the time to sit with him and comfort him as he finished his meal. Amberly was also very flexible by meeting with me prior to watching the dogs to go over details and stuck around longer when we decided to extend our trip. If you are looking for a great pet sitter, I highly recommend Amberly. She was fantastic! I hope to rebook her for future needs.”
About: As you can see in my photos, I have a GSP. She needs all the exercise and mental stimulation there is. I have plenty experience tiring out a happy dog :) I’m happy to do walks, play in your fenced yard, have fun at a nearby dog park, or go for a swim. If you’re comfortable with my dog joining, great! If not, totally fine too. However, for overnights I will need to bring my dog with me. I am currently available Monday through Friday, all day! I’m there for ya morning, afternoon, and evening. I’m happy to help any way I can. I know what it is like to want the best care for our pets so I’m committed to providing a safe comfortable space and presence for your bestie. I’m a very empathetic individual so I’ll care for your pet like it’s my own :)
“We have never had a non-family member dog sitter before this trip, so we were a bit nervous! After this trip, we are so glad we found Paige. She was professional, communicative, and took excellent care of our sweet girl! After meeting her and seeing how warm and loving she was with Maggie (who immediately loved her too) we were quickly put at ease. Paige sent us photo updates and texts to keep us in the loop with how things were going at home while we were gone, and was just awesome to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better companion for our pup!”
