Sophia is terrific! She did such a great job watching my guys, dog and a cat, I don’t think they wanted me to come home! I received regular updates and pics, and they both looked quite happy. 100% recommend, responsive and responsible. She clearly has a love of animals. :) Thank you Sophia!

Molly was a joy to meet, we were both instantly aware she was a great fit to pet sit our 4 fur babies - 2 cats 2 dogs - she's sweet, kind, warm, with a gentle spirit and my pets were immediately attached to her - my Corgi didn't leave her side the entirety of the meet and greet(s). She has amazing attention to detail and appreciated my very long and extensive 'note' of instructions! She never hesitated to take care of everything for the entire stay, and if she had a question she reached out. My home was exactly how it was left when we returned from our vacation, and my pets very happy and content. Also she's wonderful at sending pictures of my fur babies throughout the visit. I would definitely recommend Molly as a pet / house sitter!!

Ciera was excellent! On very short notice, she watched our little anxious dog so my husband and I could go out on a date! We recently moved and our dog developed severe separation anxiety. Ciera was very responsive and came to our apartment a few hours after we first connected on Rover to meet us and our dog. We could tell right away it was going to be a good fit. Ciera was professional and we felt very comfortable having her in our home and watching our dog. We will definitely be using her in the future!

About: I have 5+ years of experience with dog sitting and overnight pet care! I have a bit of experience with dog training and can teach simple commands if needed. Hanging out with pets is my favorite way to pass the time, and I’ll be sure to treat your best friend with love and care while you’re away! I am available on Mondays and Wednesdays, with the exception of 7 to 9 PM. I am free all day on Fridays and Saturdays, and would prefer overnight care on weekends only. I make sure to stay very involved with pet care, and take the time to inform myself on your pet’s personality, history, and breed. I am very attentive and will always be in-tune with your pet’s needs! I will do my best to ensure your furry friend is safe and happy while you’re away!

Charlotte did an outstanding job of watching our dog and three cats when we went away for a family vacation. She communicated effectively, kept us updated with pictures and texts, and kept our home in good shape. We'd absolutely work with Charlotte again!

Bradley was an absolutely fabulous cat sitter for my fur baby, Oliver. He kept Oliver happy and engaged with a homemade toy that Bradley made for Oliver. Each day, he would hide the toy and then see where it ended up the next day. I had pictures and videos of all their fun. All my instructions were followed perfectly and I returned home to a happy cat. Highly recommended!

Alicia was a great Housesitter for our menagerie of 3 dogs and a cat. She helped in so many ways- medication for one dog, a playful pup, cat/dog and dog/dog dynamics, snow and ice in a rural setting, and she even helped us to navigate new renters in an Airbnb on property. She is very competent, professional, and also sweet and lovely. She was very communicative and helpful to us and we appreciate her calm presence as we were stressed about going away for 8 days and leaving our home. I highly recommend Alicia as a caretaker of animals and home.

Truly Exceptional Care! I cannot recommend Ally enough! She took amazing care of my mini dachshund, Ponyo, during his boarding stay. She went above and beyond—bringing him along to social outings with friends and even to her study sessions, which Ponyo absolutely loved and truly appreciated. Not only was Ally amazing, but her roommates also pitched in with his care, giving him extra company, attention, and affection. Ponyo thrives around people, and their home truly felt like a loving and caring environment for any dog. Ally consistently sent updates and photos, and it was obvious how comfortable and happy Ponyo was with her. When I picked him up, he immediately looked back for her—he clearly bonded with her and missed her the moment we left. She handled everything with kindness and professionalism. From his feeding routine to his dachshund-specific needs, she kept him safe, loved, and entertained. I boarded Ponyo with her and would 100% book with Ally again whenever I need help. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, truly look no further—Ally is amazing! 💛🐾
