4. Parvathy K.
“Pavarthy was punctual, responsive, and put my mind at ease caring for my pets while I was on vacation. I had a unique situation with caring for some baby chicks that she was also able to help out with along with the dogs, so I appreciated her flexibility. I received pictures and updates every day that I lived receiving.”
5. Victoria Z.
“Victoria had great communication with me while I was away and was on time taking care of my girls.”
6. Amy Catherin E.
“Amy took such great care of our dogs and home while we were out on vacation. We didn't have cell service while we were away, so it was important to us to find someone we could rely on, and we knew after meeting Amy she would be a perfect fit. Our dogs got to enjoy walks and jogs daily, and Amy left us with the sweetest photos of them. She is very communicative, kind, and active which was great for our dogs who are used to getting out a lot. We would absolutely recommend Amy as a dog/house sitter and we hope to have her here again!!”

About: I’ve worked professionally in the pet industry since 2018. I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. My background in the pet care industry has given me access to knowledge in pet behavior, training, proper handling and more. I also have experience in Vetmed and am dog CPR certified. I currently work full time on weekends only which allows me to utilize the weekdays for any and all types of pet care needed . I follow any and all instructions given by owners to a T. I ensue the pet’s safety and wellbeing are always a top priority. As i know from my own pets, our pets miss us when we leave them and this can cause pets some distress, so i strive to ensure any pets in my care also feel comfortable and loved while their favorite person is out of town.
9. SJ T.
“SHES THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO US!! SJ literally SAVED US and then some with how quick she was able to help us and how much she loved and cared for Hercules. Let me explain our crazy situation: We we’re flying out of town and our previous sitter completely cancelled on us so we had to find someone within 3 HOURS. Our dog Hercules is a senior dog who just had major ACL surgery the week before and he was still recovering hard. He needed someone to lift him to go outside and we just got a wheelchair for him to get used to. I found SJ on Rover and she was able to be there ASAP. Immediately when she saw Hercules was so sweet, gentle, and loving with him. While we were gone, she sent us lots of photos and videos of him and really helped him get used to his wheelchair. She truly went above and beyond; she cuddled with him on his stationary spot because he couldn’t move, she helped his leg start to recover, she cleaned his wounds, SHE GAVE HIM A SPONGE BATH!! AND SHE CLEANED THE HOUSE TO PREPARE FOR OUR ARRIVAL!! I couldn’t even believe how AMAZING she was and how we got so lucky to find a sitter like her. Now we’ve become good friends and she even takes Hercules to his vet appointments an hour away while we’re at work!!! She is INCREDIBLE. A true animal lover. You’re furry friend will become best friends with her and you will too!!”
10. Hannah S.
“Hannah house/cat sat for us once again when we had an unplanned emergent trip. She was responsive to our request and accommodating even though it wasn’t the most convenient time for her. She is so very kind and conscientious that I feel at ease leaving my cat in her care. It’s a real gift! Thank you Hannah.”
11. Heather E.
“We could not be happier with Heather. A+++ Stop Searching, this is the person you need to watch your dogs. She is in constant contact with you, giving you updates and sending you pictures. Right off the bat, you can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs. I have an English bulldog, and they are more than your average handful. And she handled it like a pro. Extremely punctual. I am honestly very very satisfied with all the services that she was able to provide. I will definitely be hiring her in the future.”
12. David L.
“David took good care of our boys while we attended a wedding. Would book him again if we ever come back to Santa Fe.”
13. Roberta C.
About: I have experience with all animals - farm animals, aquatic animals, dogs, cats, feral animals too. I love goats and miss my farm. I can't have animals of my own at this time and just looking for a rewarding side hustle. I find healing in the presence of animals. I'm currently available seven days a weeks - flexible and reliable. I recently have been laid off from my regular employer. I am looking for an easygoing rewarding solution. Animals could provide so much more to me than an income. Especially at this time in my life. Transition is hard but Im determined. I ensure safety and routine for your pet. I will do everything I can to ensure they are well cared for and safe in your environment or mine.
14. Inness H.
“Inness is absolutely great with Jack! He took great care of my home and was thoughtful sending me pics of Jack (my Great Dane) at play with his dog, Raiku. They get along really well and always have fun. This was me second booking with Inness and already have him down for 2 more!”

About: I started caring for horses,dogs and cats at age 15. We owned a ranch & I cared for all the animals daily. I had clients and friends who relied on me to care for their fur babies. Animals are family and I treat all animals with love and kindness. I also volunteer with the Humane Society and have done animal rescue during hurricane Rita, Katrina and Harvey as well as local rescues. Pet care has always been my passion since I was a child. In the past 3 years my parents passed & I am a breast cancer survivor so pet care is so close to my healing heart ♥ and brings joy to my life I will care for any animal at the owners home and stay over if owners want. I am active & I love to excercise. I will walk dogs several times a day. I am conscientious and respectful of peoples homes also.

About: Pets and animals are precious to me. I’ve had small animals and medium dogs all my life. They deserve the best loving care. I have watched cats for friends. I’m a retired 48 yr old and looking for jobs I enjoy. I’ve provided medication for my own. So I can do those things. I understand dog signals and read what they want most times. I can tell when they are feeling bad, scared and happy. I try to calm and provide security for them as best as I can. I am retired and available for your pet(s). I am available most days and nights. I do have a couple days that I have Zoom meetings for couple hours which are Thursday 7 to 9:30 pm and Sunday’s 10-11:50 am. Some Saturday morning’s but I am flexible. I can pick up pets 3 hrs before these hours. I have a wide open yard but I don’t let dogs just roam on their own. I walk dogs outside on leashes. Most of my small dogs stay inside for safety. I walk my own dogs at dog parks when no people are around or go for small outings to get fresh air and a walk. I can watch at my place or near your place or hotel. Whatever makes you feel at ease and comfortable. My daughters small dogs are friendly. There are 3 yorkies and 2 chihuahuas. There is a room I can keep them to feel safe if they feel afraid. They can roam around the house. They are in safe loving hands because I want the owner to feel at ease and not to worry.

“Highly recommend Britt for all of your pet care needs! Britt has taken care of our dog, Bentley, many many times and he always does a fabulous job. We are very particulary with Bentley's routine and Britt is always incredibly attentive and provides exceptional care. We never have to worry when Britt is caring for our dog and we are so thankful for that!”
20. Chloe P.
“Chloe was awesome! We would definitely recommend her as a sitter. The process was simple, straightforward and easy! She followed directions and she sent great pictures and loved 🥰 on our pups. She even gave medication to one of our dogs which was great and part of her service. Thank you Chloe!”
