Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!

Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!

Kendra was fabulous. Visited 2 weeks prior to meet Saul and look at the home/location. Quick to respond to texts and sent photos often. Home was just as I left it and came home to a happy Saul. Thank you!

Allison was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two big dogs over the weekend while we were getting married. We had a lot going on, but she provided updates to ease our minds to know our boys were being cared for. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we left it. She is so great, and we would recommend her to anyone!

Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!

Sidney did such a great job with Willy! We were a bit nervous since we had never left him with a sitter before but she was phenomenal! She was able to make sure my pup was comfortable! She sent us detailed updates and photos throughout her stay as well! She was even able to accomodate a last minute adjustment to our schedule due to a flight delay! We would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting!

We hired Jessica for the first time to pet/house sit our 11 year old golden retriever. She was excellent! She came over prior to meet us and our dog. She communicates well, giving us updates 2-3 times/day; she sent lots of adorable pictures as well! She washed her sheets/towels (without being instructed to) and left the house neat and tidy. Our dog seemed happy when we returned. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her in the future.

Alex took care of Marshal and Mojo while I was taking care of my husband in the hospital. He walked, fed, and played with two large breed dogs at a very stressful time in my life. Alex was trustworthy, punctual and loving when taking care of my dogs. He was always willing to do more and payed attention to detail with the dogs and my home the multiple times a day he cared for them during this time. I highly recommend Alex if you’re looking for peace of mind when needing someone to care for your pets.

We're over the moon with Tarah's stellar care for our two bulldogs while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, from giving them their daily Benadryl to dealing with their sassy attitudes with patience and grace. Coming back to a house that was better than we left it and two happy pups was the best feeling ever. Tarah's genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, making her our top choice for pet sitting. If you're looking for someone reliable and caring, Tarah's your person. Huge thanks to Tarah for making our time away stress-free and our dogs' tails wag like crazy!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and even style their pets! Not only did I take care of others but I have my very own fur baby that I’ve been taking care of since I was a kid. I’m currently a part-time college student, a dog groomer, content creator and an aspiring entrepreneur to open my own business one day. I love to stay busy and active so your pup will get plenty of energy with me! I love to work out routinely and it’s so much more fun with dogs at my side! I am available all week and weekends just shoot me a text to let me know ahead of time, what’s your schedule, etc. I have a fenced yard and I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby accompanied! I can crate my dog or yours if needed. I love all dogs as they are my own. It’s in my religion that animals are most sacred, so you can trust your pet is in good hands! I’m not greedy, not in this for the money, I’m willing to negotiate prices, whatever’s easier for you and to make your life more peaceful. Seriously! I do not mind! :)

Nichelle is an energetic person who cherishes animals. She is a great mom to her dog, Freckles. She has a special bond with dogs--they are drawn to her and seem to love her instantly. She is a very warm and fun person who instantly shares her heart with animals, whether it be her own dog or other dogs we may encounter while on a walk. It is honestly inspiring to watch the joyful way Nichelle interacts with animals. She delights in their individual personalities and enjoys doting on them. I was especially impressed at the careful attention she pays to her own dog's diet and care. She is also very meticulous--always making sure her dog is well groomed and of course, cleaned up after on walks. Nichelle's huge heart for animals makes her an ideal candidate to work with anyone's pet.

Lacey has taken excellent care of my two Boston terriers on a regular basis for years now! One is a senior who needs carried up and down stairs with assorted health issues that come with age including needing eyedrops and different meds. The other is a high energy little guy who needs constant cuddles, playing & attention. Both absolutely adore her and I know they get the best possible care with her! I travel often for work & she’s the only person I feel comfortable leaving them with. She’s also incredible with cats of any age & temperament. Your fur kid will thank you for having her come hang out with them. Couldn’t reccomend higher.

I have known Irini for the past 8 years. Something that I quickly learned about Irini was her huge love for animals. Irini and I lived together for 4 years and in those 4 years there were multiple animals she took care of. There were multiple cats, dogs, and even turtles that saw visited our apartment. She was always responsible. Whenever she animal-sat she made sure they were fed when they needed to and would take the time to play with them. Whether that was taking a dog to the park or playing with a cat in our apartment. My sister and I have a cat and we have left him with her plenty of times. Would highly recommend Irini!
