“Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She was professional, communicative, and kind. She took amazing care of my pups, sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. I came home to happy, relaxed pups and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Madelynn did a great job staying with Kal. He got plenty of exercise and playtime, and was in good spirits when I got home. She also communicated well and took good care of the house. I'll definitely be asking her to watch him again!”
“Janna was GREAT with my cat, Gigi! She clearly loved her and was immediately comfortable with her. She sent lots of great (and artistic) pictures of her every day and kept me updated on everything going on. I highly recommend her for taking care of your kitty!”
About: I grew up with dogs, have house and dog sat for many family friends, and I have a sweet senior kitty who I rescued a couple of years ago! I love meeting any and all pets, and will give them the quality care they deserve. I'm a full-time college student with classes stacked on Tuesday and Thursday, so i have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. While my classes are stacked on those days, they are only from 9-3! I will happily walk your pet(s), play with them, and keep their area tidy in your home! I'm comfortable administering medicine for the fur-babies that need it, and I have plenty of experience with senior pets.
“This was our first time using Rover and finding Candice was such a blessing! Our dates were on short notice and she made the effort to do our meet and greet same day as the booking! We have a new puppy and another dog with separation anxiety, and Candice was able to stay at our home for the weekend to care for them! She sent videos and pictures every day and you could see how much happier they were being in their own home with someone to care for them versus a strange kennel. I would definitely recommend Candice and will be keeping her as my pet sitter moving forward!”
“Five stars for Alexa! We were so impressed by her thoughtful questions at our meet and greet, showing her deep understanding of dogs. She's now our #1 sitter – incredibly dependable and our senior-ish dogs absolutely love her! We have total peace of mind knowing they and our home are in her capable hands. Alexa sends regular updates and photos, responds quickly, and manages our dogs' changing medication needs perfectly. They're always happy when we return. We highly recommend Alexa to anyone needing a fantastic pet sitter!”

Maggie C.
“If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like family, look no further. I’ve seen firsthand how Maggie cares for her own pets — three miniature schnauzers named Patsy, Annie, and Ember, and her cat Sylvester. Her pets are some of the happiest and most well-loved animals I’ve ever met. Maggie is one of those people that animals instantly trust. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic dog, they seem to sense her calm, caring nature. She’s incredibly responsible, attentive, and patient. I’ve watched her manage the needs of her three dogs, each with their own personalities, while also making sure her cat Sylvester gets plenty of attention and love too. She’s experienced with everything from daily walks and playtime to medication, grooming, and just spending quiet time comforting anxious pets. I’ve seen her drop everything to make sure her pets are comfortable and happy, whether that means a late-night potty break or sitting with a nervous pup during a thunderstorm. If I ever needed someone to watch my pets, Maggie would be my first call. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and truly treats every animal like her own. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their furry family members.”
Hallie J.
“My Fiance and I just went out of town and were unable to bring our 2 y/o cocker spaniel Sadie. This was our first time being away from her overnight and Hallie made us feel so comfortable leaving Sadie with her. We asked her if she would rather come watch Sadie at our house or if she wanted to take her to hers and she said it was entirely up to us. Her house was very clean and appropriately dog-proofed. She sent us updates and pictures of Sadie throughout the time we were gone which made us happy knowing Sadie was having fun. She took her for walks, brushed her, fed her her meals and when we returned home Sadie acted as if we had never even left! A huge relief because she is a very clingy dog. We will definitely be contacting Hallie again any time we need dog sitting! She is a very sweet, responsible girl.”
Brooke P.
“Brooke was fantastic with the critters! Sent pictures and updates. She left the house cleaner than she found it! I definitely recommend her- but I get first option🤣!”
Hannah M.
“Hannah is amazing with animals! She’s patient, loving, and super responsible. Pets instantly trust her, and she treats them like her own. I highly recommend her! – Cleo D.”
Emaly T.
“Emaly is a very loving, smart and reliable caregiver. She has on many occasions taken care of My beautiful cat and my two red eared sliders. She's always on time and has accommodated to my pets needs and treated them as her own! 10/10 recommend!”
