“So grateful to have found Crystal as our pet sitter! She is so reliable, quick to respond and we always come back to a happy pet! Just a wonderful experience with Crystal.”

“Indiana was phenomenal to work with. Took excellent care of our cats, was super respectful of our home and helped take care of a few things here and there in our house. Was also very communicative and let us know what was happening with our pets. 10/10 she’ll be our go to pet sitter whenever we are in need and she should be your go to as well!”

“Leslie did an amazing job with our 3 huskies- from meet and greet to all the picture updates she gave us peace of mind and gave our pups all the love! Would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”

“Emily was absolutely hands-down the best sitter we've ever hired. She was amazing at being punctual for our daily drop-ins, and keeping up daily communication to let us know how things were going. We have a special needs cat that needed extra attention and a long to-do list that comes with the job, and she handled it so easily and professionally! I would highly recommend to anyone with high anxiety about their pets!”

“Amanda was a great sitter, and I really appreciate that she was available to sit for me pretty last minute when she'd never met us before. She was happy to arrange a meet and greet for the next day and she quickly impressed both the cat and dog and myself (impressing the cat was particularly noteworthy!). She was always quick to respond, very responsible, and happy to use the reference document she was given. I'd would absolutely be interested in having her sit for us again.”

“Jessica has dropped by on my pupsters on two separate occasions, and I would trust her anytime I need some help. She always provides adorable updates and is communicative. The pups have a great time with her. I will book Jessica everytime if she's available!”

“Annabella is great. She picked up a very short notice drop-in visit, and gave me and my wife peace of mind on our weekend trip. She followed every request I had exactly and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter!”

“Darnell took such great care of Monroe. He was very communicative and kind to my girl. She has separation anxiety so I was stressed leaving her at first l, but Darnell eased that very quickly. Will definitely book with him again in the future. Thank you Darnell!”


About: Animals have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up in a household with both dogs and cats taught me how to read their unique body language and personalities. Today, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful cats of my own, so I know firsthand just how much your pets mean to you and the level of care they deserve. I have hands-on experience handling pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages, which includes raising a family dog from a puppy and training him to sit, as well as managing and pet-sitting two energetic 80-pound dogs simultaneously. I am also entirely comfortable with the less glamorous sides of pet care, as I am highly experienced in administering oral pills and various medications to both cats and dogs, maintaining strict routines, and handling unexpected bathroom accidents or cleanups calmly and thoroughly. I work full-time Monday through Friday, making my daytime availability perfect for early morning or evening walks, check-ins, and feeding routines. I am also available for overnight housesitting during the week, though this is typically best suited for independent adult animals who are comfortable being alone during standard work hours. My weekends are completely open and flexible for overnight care, extended daytime sitting, and drop-ins. Because young puppies require constant, round-the-clock supervision and undivided attention, I only accept puppy-sitting bookings strictly on Saturdays and Sundays to ensure your little one gets the dedicated care they need. Building a foundation of trust is my top priority when entering your home to care for your pets. For dogs, this means maintaining strict leash safety during walks, keeping a watchful eye for hazards, and following their established feeding and bathroom routines to minimize any anxiety. For cats, I prioritize a calm, respectful environment, giving them the space they need to feel secure while ensuring litter boxes are pristine and food is fresh. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping it clean, locking up securely, and handling unexpected messes or accidents quickly and thoroughly. Whether keeping a energetic dog safe on a walk or administering medication to a sensitive cat, I am committed to providing a secure, stress-free environment so you can have total peace of mind while you are away.
“Cassidy was wonderful. There were daily updates and the cutest pictures. Even added a last minute walk since my pups were feeling cooped up. She let me know if there were any problems and I came home to happy pups.”

About: We love our fur babies and have been fostering dogs and cats for years. Every dog becomes a member of our family while they are here! Our furniture is pet-friendly and we have a fenced in back yard. We love to go to the park and hike with our dogs when the weather is pleasant! 🐾 Health & Vaccination Policy 🐾 For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I require that all dogs are up-to-date on the following vaccinations: • Rabies • DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) • Bordetella (kennel cough) Puppies must have completed their full vaccination series appropriate for their age. I may request proof of vaccinations prior to your booking, especially for boarding or daycare stays where pets may be in shared spaces. Additionally: • Dogs should be free of fleas, ticks, and any contagious illnesses • Please let me know if your pet has recently been sick or exposed to illness • Pets showing signs of illness (vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, etc.) may need to reschedule for everyone’s safety I truly care about creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for every pet. Thank you for helping me keep all my furry guests happy and healthy! 🐶💛 I have plenty of free time to play with your pets, as I work from home part time. We love walks, so a well behaved dog is always welcome on our walks with us. The children in my life are also dog lovers and will be happy to snuggle, play and dote on your fur baby, too. I have a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and I have a large crate, if needed. For anxious dogs, I have the space to keep your fur baby apart from other animals in my home.
“Grace sent us lovely updates and pictures of our cats each day which made being away much easier. The cats were well played with and barely seemed to notice when we returned 🤣.”

“Brenda cared for our cats as if they were her own! She was super friendly, offered meet and greets with our babies, and was responsive to communication! We look forward to booking with her again soon!”

“Best experience! She was amazing, patient, and caring! I will definitely book again, and recommend her to my friends! My cats had never been clipped, and they were skittish, but she helped calm them, and get the job done. No issues, they act as if nothing happened! Wonderful experience!”

About: Active military family who loves animals and doing activities with animals! We have 2 dogs who love other animals :) My wife works from home, and we do not have kids. One of us works from home, so we are usually at home with the dogs most of the day and our weekends are usually very flexible! We have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood away from busy roads. We can easily crate dogs if need be. We like to take daily walks!
“Monique and her husband were professional and flexible with my schedule. It is clear they took very good care of Arti and she looked forward to their visits! Would book again for sure”

About: What sets me apart is my calm, low-stress home where I host max 2 compatible dogs at once. Perfect for anxious, selective, or reactive pups who need peace over chaos. I also offer solo-stay pricing for dogs who need to block my second spot. My experience shines with senior dogs (gentle mobility support, meds) and high-energy mediums (structured play without overwhelming them). I work from home so I'm very flexible. I'm available during the day for walks/drop-ins/daycare, evenings/weekends for boarding. Dogs are family here; my routine revolves around their comfort. I don’t have any pets of my own currently. I have a nice size fenced yard and I love taking pups on long walks in my neighborhood or at the local dog park if possible. You can also book my backyard on Sniffspot!

Emily was fantastic! Her updates were thorough, thoughtful, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away from our babies. She was attentive, punctual, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and well cared for. It made such a difference knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%

We had a great experience with Jessica and will definitely use her anytime we need a cat sitter. We were away for 5 days and she took excellent care of our 8 cats (including two 4 month old kittens). Jessica was very communicative and kept us informed if anything happened. After every visit, she sent photos of each cat and gave a summary of how the visit went. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our babies and was attentive to their individual needs.

I HIGHLY recommend booking with Emily, she was a god-sent! Emily quickly replied to my request; was very thorough and mindful when discussing Luna's needs; responded within a timely manner AND follows through with her "Personalized Pet Companionship" motto. Not only was this my first time using Rover, it was my first time leaving my fur-baby behind and Emily soothed my nerves and anxiety every step of the way. With every visit I received multiple photo updates and a full report of the visit- food & water intake, play time, cuddle time, the full works, etc. And when little things needed to be added to the visit or Luna's routine, Emily did not hesitate to provide. I would definitely rebook with Emily whenever a cat-sitter is needed again.
