“Victoria was amazing with our girls, and gave them all the special attention needed for the 4th of July festivities. We’re so appreciative to feel confident in the great care she takes with both our senior dog and young one, as well as our home.”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter than Crystal! She took such wonderful care of our home and, most importantly, our Frenchie while we were away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and she treated our pup like her own, giving us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos daily, which made being away so much easier. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for dog. We highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter!”


“I was a first timer on Rover and with Brianna. So big choice(s) for me! She had a 5 star review and more than half of her clients have rebooked. This is why I felt comfortable selecting her. We did a pre-meet and it went well. While I was gone, Bri was great to send daily pics and videos! HUGE! Thank you for loving on my awesome dog son Daniel and allowing me to exhale regarding his care while I was gone.”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets from doggos all the way to lizards for over 15 years while raising kids with a passion for animals along the way! I am a work from home mom whose kids are all in school. I am very flexible and will be able to take your pets out on nature walks or just cuddle them while I work! They have full access to be as much at home as they can be while you are away! I have a large back yard that is great for playing fetch or just sniffing around! I love to take pets to the beach for walks and to get some exercise and can assure you they will be nice and tired when they come back to you!

“We were gone for nearly three weeks and came home to a clean house and a happy dog! Ligia is great with dogs and respectful of your property. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”


“Shaná, we are blessed having you care for our fur children! When we return home, they’re always so happy! The level of comfort they experience being able to stay in their home when we are away is priceless! Shaná, thank you for leaving our home in exceptional condition each time you stay. We look forward to booking your services again 💗💚🙂”


“So polite and professional. Took amazing care of my baby. Will be booking again.”


“Amazing care and my cat loves her!! First sleepover for a week while I was gone and she was super efficient and went the extra mile taking care of Kaydo. I Highly recommend Ashley.”


“She was great!! I felt safe leavig our spoiled and moody Coco "the cat" with her. Coco was well taken care and loved her visits. She is honest and caring. Initially, I was scared to leave my empty home to an "stranger", but as soon as we met her I felt we where making the right decision to trust her. And we where right!! I will use her services again soon. Thank you Laura! ”


About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently working part time with plenty of time for your pets! With an inconsistent work schedule, Tuesdays are my only promised full day off but I have time in the week for Drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays! I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!

“Katherine was amazing!! She was great with sending updates and keeping us in the loop with our babies! Can not recommend enough!! Thank you Katherine!! ☺️”


“I cannot say enough amazing things about Steven! He completely loved on our 2 year old pittie mix for an entire week. I felt so at ease knowing our pup was being so well taken care of! Our rescue is a bit reactive and uncertain around new people and animals, and he handled him like a pro. Steven took the time to get to understand Indigo at his own pace. Definitely booking again. Thanks Steven!!”


“Bailey is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! From the moment he met my pup, his energy put us both at ease. He’s reliable, communicative, and clearly adores animals. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and felt totally at peace knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Bailey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter”


“Risa took great care of our home and our Breezy boy. Very thankful that she was available last minute”


“Amazing as always. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in capable hands. They were reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort.”


“Maggie was great with our animals. She communicated with us the whole time and was punctual. She really cares for animals like they are her own.”


About: I have been around animals my whole life. Growing up, I used to help my grandma with her wildlife rehab center as well as caring for my own fur babies. . I also have experience working at a kennel and pet sitting in home.. I am currently working weekdays between 730 and 430. However, I am available before and after work, on weekends, all major holidays and school breaks.. (I work at a school) I am more so able to take care of your pets inside of your home. I think that might help keep your pets at ease while you're away. I am able to follow designated schedules, walk, feed, administer medications, and play with your pup... I am flexible, most services offered can be discussed

About: I have been in love with animals since I could remember. I adore the love and loyalty they provide us. I honor every pet and I recognize the important role they have in your family. I have dedicated my life to pets and have all the time in the world for their needs to be met. The world is a better place because of our fur babies. Fenced in large yard. Friendly dogs of my own name Kan, stormi and nixie. You can trust that I will keep my eye on your fur baby.


“Becca demonstrated incredible maturity, responsibility, and compassion while caring for my dog. Her dog Boomer was also extremely friendly and patient. I felt so safe leaving my dog with her, and she regularly sent me photos and updates on how my dog was doing. Thank you.”


“Sandra was fantastic! She and her daughter came by to meet my dogs, before they came to house and dog sit for me. My dogs took to then immediately. I appreciated how flexible ans communicative she was the weekend she watched them, which also happened to be the weekend I was getting married!”
