“Cash had the best time on his weekend stay with Aly. He had a Super Bowl party with new friends! I got lots of updates and could tell he was happy and relaxed. When I went to pick him up he said hello and trotted right back inside, he was not ready to leave! I know he will be so excited to go back to his new vacation house whenever we have to leave town!”


“Good communication, kind and receptive to our young pup!”



“As usual, our dogs were happily tired when we picked them up from Julia's. Staying with Julia is a like sleep-away camp for them. And, as usual, coordinating and communicating with Julia was easy and pleasurable. I especially appreciated that she met me at Forest Lakes to save me some time dropping the dogs off with her. ”


About: Growing up, my family consistently had multiple pets. I learned pet care at a young age and that evolved into nursing sick foster pets as a teenager. That experience served me well pet sitting and also as an adult rescuing my own pets. I have extensive experience with both youthful and elderly cats, dogs, bunnies, other small mammals, and one adorable white tree frog. I have shared custody of my two beautiful middle schoolers, so I suddenly have a lot more free time than I'm accustomed to! I have been diving back into my hobbies and really enjoying getting to know more pets on a daily basis. Our detached home sits on 1/3 an acre with a fully fenced back yard. I have multiple sized crates and several rooms for keeping pets separated as needed. Most pets roam freely with the option to use their crate for security. We have two cats and two dogs that would keep your pet company if they visited us, as well as a separated giant bunny and white tree frog. When visiting your pet, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible with their normal to preserve their comfort and peace of mind.

“First time Rover user and am so happy. Dogs well taken care of. hosts were lovely people who really made the difference. they sent lots of photos and could tell dogs happy and well cared for in a lovely home. highly recommend.”


“Katina is wonderful with our 13 year old dog. She sends pictures and video and loves to let us know how he is doing. Our senior dog had become quite nervous in his old age but he loves going to Katina and is always excited to see her”


“Rebecca has a wonderful space and very lovely playful pups! We had a great meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit and booked when we all felt it was! She provided good updates and was flexible with us and our pup. She is an experienced doggy caretaker and our dog had a great time and came back to us happy and tired from all the playtime and walking. Couldn't recommend her enough!”


“Rebecca did an amazing job with our dog. She kept well updated and I can tell Zurie had a great time during her stay. I would highly recommend Rebecca as a dog sitter!”


About: I have been taking care of my neighbors’ cats and dogs since I was 9 years old! When I was 14, my family adopted our beagle terrier, Atticus, and I was so excited to have a new addition to our family. When I left for college, I missed my furry companion, so I started pet-sitting for family friends in the area. It has brought me so much joy to take care of people’s pets, and I want to keep doing it as long as I can! Since I am between semesters, I have a lot of time to be available for your pets! I like to be active and spend time outdoors during the day which usually accommodates energetic pets! Whether it’s a multi-day stay, or just a daily check in, I will make sure your pet is active, happy, and safe throughout our time together!


“Mary watched my dog Rizzo for a week and she was absolutely wonderful. Rizzo was right at home with her family and I could immediately tell from her updates that he was happy and comfortable. Her children were also wonderful with Rizzo. I highly recommend Mary for anyone looking for dog sitting! Your pet will be loved and cared for just like Rizzo.”


“Moose had the best stay with Brianne and we feel lucky to have someone as wonderful as her watching him while we were away. She was attentive and wanted to know any specifics for how to best take care of him. We also loved the daily text updates. Will most definitely try to book with her in the future!”


“We had a great experience with Brooke! She agreed to watch Zorro for a last minute trip, she was updating us through the day with pictures and videos regarding his stay. She took him on walks and to the dog park as well. Will definitely keep her in mind in the future.”


“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”
