Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!

This was our second time using Katie and once again, we could not be more pleased. This visit showed us just how responsible and caring Katie is (we already knew this of course, but this visit made it even more impressed). Katie is ALWAYS consistent with her communication and photos, is super flexible with scheduling and overall just a wonderful sitter. We love Katie and will absolutely use her again !!! :)

Brianna took care of my pup for 5 nights and he was so happy and healthy when we got back! He has a lot of bladder issues and she did a great job following extra instructions to handle it ! She was loving to him and was by his side most of the time I was away! She also left my home perfectly clean

Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!

Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.

Communication was great throughout the process of booking, meeting, and the actual stay. I’ll definitely contact her in the future for the next time I travel!

Second time having Zhanna watch my energetic boy, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ryder loves her, and I come home to a happy, content dog. Plus, she takes the BEST photos. Attentive to instructions, responsive, and overall one of the best sitters I’ve had on Rover!

About: I’m now offering dog walking and would love to meet your pup! 🐾 I have a deep love for animals and a strong understanding of dog behavior, so your dog will be in caring, capable hands. Expect reliable walks, happy tails, and photo updates along the way. I’m excited to get to know the dogs in the neighborhood—book with me today! I’m filling up with regular clients and I love getting exercise with the same pups on a regular basis. *Close in Old Town preferred. I also offer limited house sitting for regular clients only and unfortunately cannot provide 24/7 care. I’m very active, and my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize consistent, attentive pet care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, and reliable check-ins as needed. I follow each pet’s routine, provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of loving attention, ensuring a safe and comfortable home environment at all times.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had cats my whole life, have experience pet sitting dogs and cats, and previously worked at an animal shelter caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time in the mornings, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the day to give pets the attention, care, playtime, and companionship they need. I’m an early riser and love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing with energetic pets, or giving shy pets the patience and comfort they need to feel safe. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I have three very playful, social cats of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also previously worked as a kennel attendant at an animal shelter, where I cared for both cats and dogs by feeding them, administering medication, bathing dogs, and working with pets of many different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable caring for shy, senior, high-energy, and young pets, and I always follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully. I’m happy to send updates and photos as often as owners would like so they always feel connected and reassured while away.

Andrea is a great caretaker of pets and homes. She followed all directions and even cleaned up when one of my elderly cats didn’t make it to the litter box. She washed all the bowls and left them for me, as well as taking out the trash and making sure the cans ended up in the recycling. I will definitely book her again!

He was very considerate with our house, and left everything as we had left it. We had such peace of mind that Tess was having a good time and well taken care of. I will for sure be reaching out again the next time we travel.

Our pets mean absolutely everything to us and finding consistent, quality care is difficult. However, Albedardo gave my wife and me complete peace of mind. He frequently asked clarifying questions during our meet and greet and during his stay, and clearly read the specific care instructions we provided to him. We especially appreciated his attention to detail and gentle nature, and the regular updates he provided during his stay, which were thorough and included numerous, great photos of our pets. Al even went above and beyond to help us with watering our plants and left our apartment tidy for our return. We are planning to use his services again soon.

Joanna has been my sweet boy’s daily dog walker for 2 years, and I genuinely don’t know what I would do without her. She has become one of the most trusted people to my very reactive, shy dog - a true miracle worker! From her abundance of pictures, detailed updates, and vast experience, she’s truly a dog owner’s best friend. Thank you, Joanna!

Morgan was my life saver! I needed a last minute sitter two days before my 6 day trip. I reached out to Morgan and she was very helpful from the start. She was very responsive and respectful in the meet in greet. She took care of my home and dog for 5 nights. My dog and her got along super well, which was a breath of fresh air since we dog is picky about people! Came home to a clean house and happy dog! Thank you Morgan, would highly recommend!
