“Jayden is an amazing and extremely attentive sitter! I have a very energetic pup and two growing cats and they seemed to really enjoy their time with Jayden. When I returned home, the house looked amazing and everything was as it should be. We will definitely be using their services again in the future.”


“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”


“Malcomn was the best Rover we ever had. Would hire him back in an instance. He was respectful, responsive, communicative and took exceptional care of our puppy and cat for a long weekend. He sent great descriptions and photos every day. He sets the bar high for Rovers!”


“Kathryn has watched our 3 dogs numerous times now and she always does a fantastic job. She gives us timely updates and goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are well taken care of while we’re gone.”


“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”


“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”


“Shakira is amazing! I feel like she's part of the family. She did an amazing job looking after my Maltipoo, Dash! She sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day. I really appreciate the way she made both me and Dash feel comfortable. Before she left, I had already booked her for another sitting for Dash. She's the best!”


“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”


“Khia took care of our puppy in our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased with her services. Khia did an excellent job looking after Uno while we were away. She was reliable, responsible! It was clear that Khia not only met our expectations but exceeded them with her attention to detail and proactive communication. We highly recommend Khia to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”



“Samantha is amazing. She took care of my two Frenchies for 8 days in my home. She took over new training techniques for the puppy with no problem (with very little notice I might add). She took amazing care of my babes and left my apartment just as I’d left it. Love her!”


“Very happy with Daniela as a pet/house sitter while we were overseas for 2-weeks. We don’t speak a common language, but my pets don’t speak English or Spanish either, so I wasn’t gonna let a language barrier be the sole reason to not hire someone. We used an audio translator app during the meet & greet, and most apps/ txt auto translate. I did provide an emergency contact of a bi-lingual friend. Thankfully we didn’t need to involve her. At the meet & greet, we practice giving my anxious cat’s oral tablet medication with dry kibble, and she was pretty good at it within a couple tries. Reassured me she would be able to administer when we’re gone. She sent regular photos/updates of our pets which always makes us happy and comfortable while traveling. We even had some HVAC issues while we were away, and Daniela was a trooper the whole time. Twice she helped coordinate a technician coming to the house since we couldn’t be there. She left the house very clean, trash taken out, bed made. Brought all our mail in. Watered the few plants we asked. Etc. I hope she’s available next time we travel. Thank you!”


About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was in Grammer school. At one point in my life I shared a home with four roommates with pets. All together we had 3 dogs and 4 cats at one time. I have had 3 cats in my lifetime as well. My family, wife and daughter, currently have no pets,(our family Doberman passed a few years ago)so it seems the perfect time to provide care for your pets in your time of need. I currently work part time in the music industry and real-estate. I have flexible days to offer for your pets. My wife and daughter are also very good with pets. In a way, you get 3 care givers for the price of one! I have a spacious backyard that has a secure 6 foot wooden fence all the way around the property. My family and I currently do not have pets besides our fish, Blueberry, so all our attention can be focused on your loved one.

About: I'd love to meet your dog or cat and you can trust I'll treat them like my own. I know how to keep them safe and happy while you're away. I'll send you a good photo too my camera roll is mostly all photos of dogs. I work freelance so my availability is flexible. I prefer we conduct a meet and greet first, to make sure your pet is comfortable with our plans! Walks and care provided in clients home only, I can't provide boarding. I will be sure we establish comfort in our meet and greet, please be sure to provide vet information in case of any unexpected emergency.

“Alexis was an excellent dog sitter. She played with Nellie and gave her long walks every day that she watched her. She also provided regular and helpful updates with pictures and descriptions. I would trust her to watch my pets anytime!”

About: Hi there! I’m Danae, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! 🐶🐱🐾 Looking for someone who treats your pet like family? Look no more, that’s me. Whether your pet is a nap-loving cuddle machine or a playful tornado, I’ve got the energy and patience to match. I’m here to give your furry family member the best time ever from belly rubs and cuddles to play time and walks outside in the fresh air. I’m all about the pets living their best life with comfort and fun. I have experience caring for pups, kittens, adults, senior fur babies, and have cared for pet pairs and multiple siblings at the same time. Whether it’s a simple check-in or an overnight stay, I tailor every visit to your pet’s vibe, paying close attention to their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves playing fetch or prefers watching birds from a window I bring positive energy, compassion, and a whole lot of joy to every pet I care for. My approach is nurturing, patient, fun, and detail-oriented. I provide reliable care with daily updates, adorable pet pics, and clear communication so you can feel stress-free, confident, and connected while you’re away. I'm committed to making sure that you and your fur baby have the best experience ever, and I look forward to meeting you both! I am self-employed, so I am super flexible and will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby, whether it's daily check-ins or overnight stays. I am available to book 7 days a week. When your pet is in my care, their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I take time to earn your pet’s trust—never rushing interactions, always moving at their pace. Home Safety I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secured at all times, and I monitor your pet closely during walks or outdoor time. For pets with special needs, medications, or dietary requirements, I follow instructions carefully and communicate openly so nothing is missed. Aggressive or Violent Behavior The safety of all pets, people, and myself is my top priority. For this reason, I am unable to accept pets that display aggressive, violent, or unsafe behavior, including biting, lunging, or other threatening actions toward humans or other animals. Health & Parasites As protection for health and safety, all pets must be: • Free from fleas, ticks, mites, and have no contagious illnesses • Current on vaccinations (or have valid titer test documentation) Harness & Leash Safety For the safety of your pet, other animals, and the public, I require that all dogs be provided with a secure, well-fitted, and durable harness and leash for walks. You’ll always be kept in the loop with regular updates and photos, because trust goes both ways. My goal is for you to feel confident, and for your pet to feel calm, loved, and completely cared for until you return.
