“Holly house sat for me for a week and looked after my two dogs and a cat. She was incredibly patient and attentive with my pets, she sent me regular photo updates and I could tell how happy and comfortable they were under her care. One of my dogs is tough to win over and Holly had her snuggled right up beside her in no time. She left everything at the house looking even better than before and I had such peace of mind knowing everyone was taken care of!”

“Jessica was great and very good with our spicy bulldogs!. Well, maybe Cajun style..not full spicy. Also patient when our auto feeder went on the fritz mid trip. Both doggies were healthy, happy, and clean!”

About: Im 25 now and Ive grown up around pets and have years of experience carrying for various animals, especially dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and personalities, from energetic working dogs to laid back companions. Your fur baby will feel loved and content in my care. I am comfortable looking after dogs with additional needs/ restrictions. I have experience with diabetic dogs and administiring insulin. I have experience bathing and cleaning out dogs ears. I have no problems with dogs with behavioral issues. I am comfortable muzzling dogs and keeping them away from other animals if that is their preference. I do currently have another job, but also lots of time to get to know your fur baby! My schedule can be a little unpredictable at times, but I always follow through with commitments. Im your girl when you're looking for an 'odd' booking time. Early mornings, random Wednesdays, last minute weekend plans... or maybe you're getting stuck working overtime and you just want someone to make sure your pup doesn't pee on the floor before you get home. I get that life can be unpredictable, and I'm here to help. Safety is of the utmost importance to me, and I believe knowledge/ being prepared is the best defense against things going wrong. Getting all necessary information on your pet will make sure there are no surprises.

“Catherine is a sweet and honest person. She took great care of our dogs and cats while we were in Europe. We got regular updates and she put our mind at ease while being so far away. A big thank you to her. I would recommend her and book another visit with her.”

About: Since I was a child, I've always loved animals, especially dogs and cats. Pets are an extension of us, they're part of the family , and deserve to be treated as such. My strength lies in giving these 4- legged family members all the love, attention and support they need. I like to focus on the whole picture of animal care from food to exercise and even medications. My goal is to put your mind at ease, even for a short amount of time. You can complete your errands or tasks, knowing that your furry friend is cared for and in good hands. Together, we will plan and create the ideal regimen to fit around your schedule. If you think that I would be an ideal fit for you and your pup, please feel free to get in touch with me. Thank you! I am currently working from home as a teacher. Working this way allows for schedule flexibility. I am able to accommodate varying times of day and days of the week. If you have any questions about scheduling issues, please be in touch. For my own dogs, they have a wide open backyard wilderness. WE have a large garden and they can run around all day long. In your home, I treat it like a guest would. I am there to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and well taken care of. If you have any specific requests regarding the booking, please let me know. I am more than happy to accommodate your needs.
“Jennifer was incredible. Ninja is an anxious cat who needs lots of attention, and she went above and beyond in making sure he felt safe and content. Communication was excellent, with lots of adorable photo updates. We came home to a happy cat, clean home and a sweet note! We highly recommend Jennifer!”

“We are so incredibly grateful to Lada for taking such amazing care of our dog during our engagement shoot! Having our pup with us for photos was really important, and Lada made the entire process so much smoother — from keeping Eli happy and calm between shots to jumping in and helping get their attention for the perfect photo. Highly, highly recommend Lada to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter — especially if your pup is part of a big moment!”

“Mayra is an excellent sitter. It was so reassuring knowing that Seamus and Parker were home safe and happy. I loved especially that Parker (the timid one) interacted and played outside. We were delighted with Myra's service. We will be calling on her to sit for us again!”

“Thanks for everything you’ve done for us and Arlo IFE! It was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone and you made sure we felt at ease about the entire process. We look forward to working you again in the future :)”

About: With over 20 years of experience providing quality pet care, I am passionate about ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a proud cat owner myself, I understand the importance of treating pets like family and always go above and beyond to meet their individual needs. Over the years, I have become the trusted pet sitter not only for friends and family, but also for friends of friends through word-of-mouth referrals. I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities and am comfortable with everything from daily care and companionship to dog walking and exercise. Whether you need pet sitting in your home or mine, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

Whether caring for your pet in my home or in yours, I strive to maintain their regular routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and any special care requests provided by owners.

I am attentive to each pet's individual personality and needs, and I am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.
“Emma took care of Burfi on a very short notice and she ensured Burfi was well taken care of while we were away. She ensured Burfi has well tucked away for sleep when she left. We could not have asked for more.”

“Michelle was amazing taking care of our 2 digs and 2!cats, day and night for 7 days. She is a natural with animals and a lovely person that we trusted with our home as well as pets. Thank you Michelle!”

“This was my first time ever using a pet sitter, as our dogs have always stayed at a kennel. But due to an unexpected emergency surgery for our female American Bully right before our international trip, we had no choice but to find in‑home care. I was nervous, to say the least — two 100‑lb bullies, one recovering from surgery with sutures still in, and five days out of the country. Rachel was everything we hoped for and more. She stayed in our home and cared for both of our pups with an incredible level of attention, patience, and genuine affection. Our girl needed extra monitoring to make sure she didn’t run, jump, or get too excited, and Rachel handled her recovery with such calm, thoughtful care that I felt completely at ease. I received daily updates and photos — not just quick snapshots, but real moments of our dogs looking relaxed, happy, and completely comfortable with her. Whether they were resting with their heads in her lap or enjoying treats she thoughtfully purchased (with my permission), it was clear they adored her. Traveling while your pet is recovering from surgery is stressful, but Rachel made it possible for us to enjoy our trip without constant worry. She treated our dogs like her own, respected our home, and went above and beyond in every way. I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring, Rachel is the one you want watching your pets.”

“Laurel took wonderful care of our home, our cat, and our puppy while we were away on vacation. From the start, we felt completely reassured knowing everything was in her kind and capable hands. She kept us updated with regular photo messages, which made it so comforting to see how happy and well cared for our pets were while we were away. Laurel truly went above and beyond. Not only did she provide attentive, loving care to our animals, but she also left our home absolutely pristine. It was such a gift to return from vacation to relaxed pets and a spotless house. We would not hesitate to recommend Laurel to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet and house sitter.”


“Arianna was fantastic. First she was prompt if not early on all meetings which showed incredible accountability. During our time away she kept us updated with picture of my Finn and was excellent at following up with any question that I missed during our meet and greet. Finn was clearly well cared for and returning home to a Tory house with sheets already washed and house clearly maintained was just Bonus!!! Arianna clearly did an excellent job and even kindly popped in for one last “potty break” for Finn at the end of her contract. I would highly recommend Arianna to others and will most definitely seek her services again when they are needed. Arianna truly was an incredible find in Rover!”

About: I'm not as new to professional pet caring now, but I'm constantly learning and I have respect and love for animals. I have cared for pet dog and cat from puppy to old age and I am always learning from experts on how to handle most situations that will arise. I am able to be extremely active and engaging with animals to ensure they are properly stimulated and socialized. I take my job very seriously as a guardian of a pet myself I know that they are as much family as pet. I will always take special care to listen to a pet's guardian's advice on how to care for their pet so that they are properly taken care of as they deserve and expect to be treated. I’m currently self employed and mainly work at night when my dogs are asleep. During the day I am free to look after not only my dogs but also other people’s pets as well. When I’m not working I’m often taking care of my dog’s needs. I follow instructions from pet owners and ask about their pet to find out what kind of care they need. Every dog has its own personality and needs and I do the best to treat them as their owner would treat them so their stay is as comfortable as possible.

Having cared for dogs, cats, and horses throughout my life, I deliver personalized care tailored to each pet ensuring their comfort, safety, and your complete peace of mind. Working full-time in a remote tech role while pursuing a computer science degree gives me a uniquely flexible and reliable schedule. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, timely feedings, and close attention to each pet’s needs. My work setup is structured yet adaptable, so I can easily accommodate routines, medications, and extra care without disruption. This balance of professional discipline and at-home availability ensures pets receive steady companionship, attentive care, and a calm, stable environment.

I also believe in clear communication and treating every home and pet as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.

Laurel stayed with our very timid dog for two weeks. She did a wonderful job. We booked a few walks prior, which helped our dog get used to her. Laurel communicated regularly letting us know our dog was in good hands and doing well. Upon our return, our home was in great order. I would highly recommend Laurel.

Arianna was fantastic. First she was prompt if not early on all meetings which showed incredible accountability. During our time away she kept us updated with picture of my Finn and was excellent at following up with any question that I missed during our meet and greet. Finn was clearly well cared for and returning home to a Tory house with sheets already washed and house clearly maintained was just Bonus!!!

We are very happy with Jessica's time taking care of our husky puppy Freya (7 months) and our house. They seem to have gotten along so well Freya hardly noticed when we came home. Jessica continued with the training we had been doing with Freya. We got regular updates, and th house was nice and clean when we came home. We have already booked Jessica for our next time away.

Casey is fhe best pet sitter. We always know the doggies are so well looked after, they are not even excited to see us, more disappointed that it is not Casey returning! The house was in amazing condition when we arived home after two weeks. Thanks for everything Casey.

Olivia was spectacular… highly recommend! She stayed in our home with our two dogs for 1.5 weeks while we were away. It went smoother than we could’ve imagined, and it allowed us to really enjoy our trip. The bond that she created with them is strong because of her gentle, nurturing and caring soul. She sent update pictures and videos throughout - and we could tell our dogs were beyond comfortable and satisfied. She seamlessly integrated into their schedule as if she has known them (and us) for a long time. She’s truly a natural with dogs. Olivia is highly responsible, reliable, and very kind. We look forward to booking with her every time!

Debora was amazing with Lobito while we were on vacation. She and her husband gave him so much love and attention. We also received photos of him every day, which made us feel connected and reassured. I would definitely recommend Debora to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter
