Tara and Jason and their dog Stark were great looking after Wally. They sent lots of updates with pictures and videos. Wally got lots of walks, trips to the dog park and tummy rubs. Highly recommend them for pet sitting!

I had an amazing experience with Ben! We just got our rescue pup about 7 weeks ago, a Hugh energy terrier from Texas. I’ve never used Rover before, and when searching for a potential sitter, it was very important to me to have someone with both rescue experience and small dog energy experience. Ben replied very quickly to my initial request! He fit all of the boxes of what I was looking for and also has a terrier rescue. I was nervous when starting the booking process but Ben talked me through it, and I immediately felt assured. It was a last minute need, and he was very accommodating, very kind and very responsive to any questions I had. Joey had the best time there! Ben kept me up to date on their adventures, and sent lots of pics (which I love). For me, communication and accessibility was key, and I would recommend Ben 1000 times over just based on this one interaction. Had such a great experience, that I’m already in the process of booking another overnight stay with Ben.

I was a little nervous leaving Casear, but Colin took such great care of him. He kept me updated with pictures, which really gave me peace of mind, and he was very flexible and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate everything he did, and I would definitely book him again in the future.

Zenobia and her husband were excellent with our beagle Jake for a 10 day stay. Numerous daily updates with pictures and videos. Her 2 dogs are very welcoming and friendly and Jake had an awesome time playing. He's a very snuggly boy and Zenobia was awesome with all the love and attention that he received. Would recommend her for anyone looking for that extra love for their fur babies!

Milissa took such great care of our dog Polly while we were away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. We really appreciated how she kept in touch throughout, sending us regular updates and adorable photos. It gave us total peace of mind. She also noticed that Polly had some extra energy and adjusted her walks to give her a bit more time and activity—something we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Milissa again. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve loved animals from a young age and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including a puppy, several cats, and even fish both as a child and as an adult. This has helped me understand the different needs and behaviors of animals—from energetic dogs to independent cats and the consistency required for maintaining a healthy aquarium. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient with puppies and can help reinforce basic routines, and I’m equally comfortable with cats, respecting their space while still giving them attention and care. My experience with fish has also made me detail-oriented when it comes to feeding schedules, cleanliness, and maintaining a stable environment—skills that carry over into all types of pet care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine closely. I also keep owners updated so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a stress-free, happy environment for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. I plan my day to ensure I have dedicated time for feeding, walks, playtime, and general care, so pets receive consistent attention and are never rushed. I’m comfortable incorporating morning and evening routines, as well as check-ins during the day if needed. Whether it’s taking dogs out for walks, spending time playing, or ensuring cats and other pets are fed and comfortable, I make sure their routine is followed closely. I treat pet care as an important and enjoyable part of my routine, not just an extra task. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home where pets can feel comfortable and well cared for. I make sure they have a dedicated space to rest, access to fresh water, and a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and relaxation. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and attention. For cats, I ensure a quiet, comfortable space while also giving them interaction on their terms. I’m also experienced in caring for fish, maintaining feeding schedules and a clean, stable environment. Pets are always supervised, and I focus on creating a stress-free atmosphere where they feel safe and at ease. I keep the home clean and organized and provide updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and in good hands. Overall, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and comfort throughout their stay.

Trish did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my senior dog. She was great at sending me daily pictures and updates. She was able to give all the medications with out issues and my dog got along with hers so well. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her for sitting and would use her again.

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda. My dog has a tendency to do marking inside the house, and she handled the situation with so much patience, understanding, and care. She made sure he was always safe, comfortable, and truly happy during his stay. What I really appreciated was how knowledgeable she is, she even gave me helpful advice on how to better manage this behavior in the future. She and her partner are a very kind and experienced couple, and it truly shows in how they care for dogs. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone who wants to leave their dog and not have to worry at all while they are away. When I picked my dog up, he was actually missing her, which says everything about how well he was treated.
