“Jinni is great! We weren’t sure how our toy poodle would handle spending time with a stranger (he can be a little shy and this was our first booking). We were so happy to see him hanging out on her lap shortly after we left! Clearly Jinni’s calm, easy energy made him feel right at home. :) Highly recommend!”


“Erika was AMAZING!! I get so anxious leaving my fur baby behind and she sent me so many updates and made me feel so at ease. Blackberry looked so calm and happy in the photos with her. Absolutely would recommend to anyone!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Amy was truly a dream. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She followed all of our instructions to a T—kept up with our pup’s training, stuck to her schedule, took her on long, enriching walks, and made sure she got plenty of love and structure. We received thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Not only was our dog incredibly well cared for, but our home was left spotless and orderly—it honestly felt like we came home to a reset space. She met our needs and then some. We would book with her again in a heartbeat and feel so lucky to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend!”


“Yesenia loved our dogs and did a wonderful job communicating while we were gone and she house sat for us. Multiple pictures a day and lots of dog walks, she really enjoys caring for our fur babies. We recommend using Yesenia if you need an animal/house sitter.”


“April is awesome and we will definitely ask her to watch our animals again! We have a pretty high energy pitty and it’s really nice to have someone who understands their silly antics and loves them as much as we do!”



“Julia was amazing! She stayed at our home for a week and took such thoughtful care of our dog Shadow, our two cats Ollie and Athena, and our turtle tank. We loved receiving her daily updates and photos! It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions closely and clearly treated our pets like her own. On top of that, our home was spotless when we returned. We’re so grateful for her care and would absolutely work with her again! Highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and detail-oriented sitter! Thank you so much, Julia!”


“Leo was a wonderful sitter for our new shelter dog, Canyon. Canyon has had some issues with reactivity and separation anxiety so after a meet and greet and introduction walk, I was so happy to see how patient and caring Leo was with him. Its a huge relief knowing our sweet boy was in good hands while we were away and working on his issues over the long term 10/10”


“Justine was very communicative and sent us lots of photos! She is very friendly and took detailed notes at the meet and greet. Took great care of our dog and pet rats.”


“Sabrina did a great job with our pups! She was able to handle both of their personalities with ease and confidence. They both warmed up to her quickly despite one of my dogs being anxious of strangers. They got so many walks/outings plus one-on-one time. We definitely found our sitter for next trip! :)”



“Colin made it possible for us to have a four-day weekend getaway without any stress or worries about our fur babies. My wife was somewhat anxious and debated about canceling our plans, but once we met Collin she was no longer worried! When we did our meet and greet, we knew right away that he was the right choice. Collin is professional and expressed a sincere interest in taking care of our dogs. Once we left, he sent us a photo of their first walk; this made us super happy and gave me peace of mind. Through out the trip he would send us updates and send us pictures. He fed them on schedule and took them on their routine walks every day! He even gifted them a toy! That was super sweet. Collin went above and beyond for sure! We returned to our house, hugged our dogs and even found our patio looking more tidy than before. Collin is definitely our first and second choice for taking care of Puggy and Coco. These days it’s hard to trust anyone, but people like Collin gives us hope that there are trustworthy, caring, and genuine people. Thank you Collin for being there for Puggy and Coco! P.s. he even fed our mice trio and watered our plants! ~ JC ‘n Caya”


“We’ve had several cat sitters over the years, but Sara has truly set a new gold standard. From the very beginning, she was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly a true animal lover. But what really stood out was how comfortable and at ease our cats were with her — something that has never happened so quickly with anyone else. Every day, we received thoughtful updates and a ton of adorable photos that genuinely brightened our day and gave us peace of mind. It was so obvious from the pictures that our cats weren’t just being “watched” — they were cared for, played with, and loved. When we got home, the house was in beautiful shape, and our cats were relaxed and happy, not stressed or clingy like they’ve sometimes been after we’ve been away. It honestly felt like they had been on vacation too! Sara is the kind of sitter every pet owner hopes to find — trustworthy, attentive, and clearly devoted to the animals she cares for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again.”


“Bonnie was great with our dog, Bruno, who has some particular needs since he is reactive to other dogs. She took pictures to update us which was amazing. She also went above and beyond to help when we encountered a whole half day of travel delays. Our house was left in great shape too. We highly recommend her!”


About: I grew up with dogs from puppy to old age and through incredibly difficult sickness. We trained them how to use their doggy door to go outside and also how to be kind to the cats we have in the house. I also grew up with three generations of cats and got to see how mamas raised their kittens. Late afternoons and weekends are the best time for my services. I can especially have all days Saturday and Sunday to go walking, encourage exercise and be providing meals and entertainment. I am very supportive and attentive in the clients household to the pet but cuddling inside and staying warm or going outside in the backyard to get some movement in!

“Jennifer was the first Rover we used and she as excellent! She took amazing care of our blind, senior dog and sent us multiple thorough updates each day. Dijon was happy and resting when we returned and our house was as clean as if no one was there. I can’t recommend her strongly enough!”


“Karla is so kind and patient! She made me feel super comfortable with Bentley being a little reactive with other doggy friends which provided me extra reassurance. She was friendly and worked with Bentley throughout the stay. She also was super accommodating for a last minute request I had due to flight delays. Absolutely, would use her services again.”


“Forest came to stay with our two dogs while we were gone for a long weekend and everything went perfectly! Great with our pups during the meet & greet, great communication & photos while we were away, and the house was in perfect shape when we got home. Thanks again!”
