“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”


“She’s a pro!! Stayed at our house with our 10 month old Yorkie who started with diarrhea the day before we were suppose to leave for Disney!! ? Not many would have been willing to watch a sick little guy. Carol is very self sufficient, didn’t need all of my instructions and she made everything super easy for us. I also loved that she did a meet and greet before we left. Oh and a bonus...she brought in all of our packages and mail while we were gone. We had never had anyone stay in our house before. Our pup and our house were very well cared for! Will definitely use her again!”

“Sabrina house sat and watched our two black labs (9 year old and 1 year old) for a 3-day weekend get away, and she was awesome. She walked and played with them which included their favorite activity of fetch in the pool. Both dogs were clearly well cared for and tired out upon our return home. We will be using Sabrina again.”

“Matthew did a great job taking care of our dog. He showed up on time, made sure Hank got his walk, and gave him the special care that you would expect from a family member. We highly recommend him.”

“We could not have asked for a better experience with June. This was our very first time using Rover and also the first time leaving our 1-year-old puppy, along with our 14-year-old dog, so we were naturally very anxious. From the very beginning, June was incredibly sweet, patient, and loving with both of them. Our puppy had a hard time adjusting to us being away, which was expected, but June handled it with so much calm, understanding, and care. She reassured us that this was normal and stayed consistent and gentle with him until he settled in. True to her word, every day got better. What we appreciated most was her communication. June kept us updated daily with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also very receptive to any suggestions we shared and immediately applied them, showing how committed she was to doing what was best for our dogs. It is not easy to trust someone with your home and your pets, especially for the first time, but June exceeded every expectation. We feel incredibly grateful that we found her and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and genuinely loving pet sitter.”

“Elizabeth was WONDERFUL. Elizabeth is kind & sweet and I know she gave loving care to Billy. Elizabeth sent us pictures everyday with updates as to how the day went. Which was always a good day with Billy. Elizabeth is responsible caring not only for our dog Billy but also our home. Highly recommend Elizabeth, oh, our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left.”

“She did awesome! She kept the place clean, and all my kitty babies were happy! She even took care of my axolotl for me. I would definitely recommend her, she is great, and really loves your pets.”


About: 20 plus years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages and temperament. I am described by friends and family as observant on pet behavior and someone who provides the best care for your fur baby while respecting the rules/guidelines set by the owner. I work Sunday-Thursdays from 7:30am-4pm and have a weekly meeting on Tuesday nights from 6pm-8pm. As long as hours do not conflict with my work schedule I am flexible! It's important to respect the house hold rules and schedule given by the owner. Communication and respect is key when entering someone else's home and caring for their pets, so anything that I feel would cross any boundary I would absolutely reach out to the owner right away. Consistency and following proper care on both dogs and cats are also top priority.
“Casey took care of our two dogs and cat for a week while we were traveling. She came to our house to meet the “boys” about a week before we left and all three of them took an instant liking to her! She stayed at our house so the boys could be in familiar surroundings and kept us in the loop with photos and texts while we were traveling so we could see what a good time they were having back at home. I will definitely ask her to pet sit again. It was a great experience for our boys and for us.”

“Jesse did a great job watching our dogs for a weekend while we were out of town! She was very communicative, send photos, and took good care of the pups. Will definitely use again!”

“Katie was simply amazing! From the minute our pups met her they just loved her. She sent us tons of updates throughout her time with them and we cannot wait to have her babysit again!”
“Taylor was great! She took great care of my house, 2 dogs and cat for the week she stayed there. She left me daily updates and photos. I would definitely use Taylor again!”

“Meghan was amazing! Our dog loved her and she made sure he is comfortable and happy while we were gone. She sent us multiple updates with pictures of our sweet little pup. She followed all his feeding and walking routines to the t and communication was stellar. We couldn’t be happier. Our Shurik definitely found a new friend.”

“We were very happy with Andile and would absolutely book with her again! From the first meet and greet, she was warm, personable, and easy to talk to. Our corgi Merlin, who doesn't always warm up to new people right away, took to her immediately and quickly became her shadow during the stay. Merlin is still recovering from ACL surgery, so it was important to us to find someone who could be home with the pets most of the time. Andile was wonderful about that and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She took excellent care of our three dogs and two cats and sent plenty of updates and photos. We came home to happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and the feeling that everything had gone smoothly while we were away. We highly recommend Andile and would not hesitate to book with her again. In fact, we tried to schedule her as she was heading out the driveway. We were sad she was going to be out of town the weekend we need her.”
