“Amanda was on time, asked pertinent questions, and sent regular photos while watching our dog. We were very comfortable with her care and will absolutely use her again!!!”

“I’m so happy I found Lisa! I’m a little bit of a neurotic mom to a dog that has separation anxiety, that I rescued about seven years ago. Chrissy was well taken care of not to mention the great care she took of my home while she was here.”

“Edelyn was amazing with our 2 dogs! Kept us photos and updates! House was so neat and sheets washed! Bedding was made up perfectly! She will definitely be back to stay with our dogs again!!”


“Caitlin stayed with our dogs for a week during Christmas break. She took great care of them with daily walks and playtime… and lots of love! We will definitely reach out for her help with them again! They love her!!!!”

“Wow! Heather is a wonderful person and pet sitter. I cannot remember the last time we left our pup and didn’t worry even for a minute how she was while we were gone. She took to Heather immediately! I so appreciated the notes on our pups daily habits and sweet pictures of her throughout our absence. We returned to a super clean home and a doggie that wasn’t stressed out at all! THANK you, Heather! You really saved us on a difficult and busy week and we really appreciated the help!”

“Maura is fantastic to work with! Our flights home were delayed significantly and she was happy to change her visit times to accommodate our needs! Happy to have found her!”

“Molly was the best! She is so attentive, communicative and was amazing with our dogs while we were out of town. She provided exceptional care and leaves you with no worries while you are away. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Nicole was absolutely wonderful! She sent me plenty of pictures of Reggie while I was away and checked in every morning and night. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a bit nervous, but Nicole made me feel completely reassured and comfortable. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dog and cat breeds since I was old enough to stay home on my own. Professionally, since I was licensed, I have been pet sitting, walking and doing drop-ins for family, friends and neighbors. I have experience with dogs of several breeds and ages, with specialized care regimens. With cats I have a healthy experience and I still pet sit for a parent who has eleven cats, all with unique personalities and needs, and I live with two of my own. I posses the patience required to care for your pet who may require extra time, attention, and understanding to meet their care needs. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of advanced age who need specialized care such as medication administration, teeth brushing, incontinence assistance and working with hearing loss. Beyond older pets, I am familiar with dogs who may be unpredictable with others and have experience with redirection, avoidance and communicating to others to not approach. Finally, I have experience with anxious pets that require reassurance, quality time and play to be fulfilled by their sitter. I am currently not working outside of pet-sitting and have the time and drive to provide the level of care your pet deserves. My own cats are on a specific feeding schedule and do require my being home to feed them around 2pm every day. I aim to take all considerations into account to provide for you and your pet family. Clear communication and understanding expectations is how I may best serve your furry friends. I like to follow instruction to the letter and keep safety of all parties a priority. In this area of work my approach is to not guess if I do not know, better to always ask for clarity when uncertain and look for the same in clients.
“Tyson was great! We asked him to be at the house very early on a weekend and he showed up ahead of schedule. We appreciated his friendliness, knowledge of dogs, and his playfulness with our pup. Would absolutely use him again and recommend him to others.”
“A great first experience...I was very nervous as this was my initial time using a service such as this but everything worked out perfectly and she made me feel confident with everything as I was leaving town. I would 110% recommend her for any of your needs.”

“Nancy is amazing. My two pups adore Nancy. Nancy stayed with my pups for 5 days and everything and everyone was wonderful when we arrived back home. Nancy sent apictures every day along with a synopsis of their day.”

About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, and Colorado. In the new year, I will be back in Virginia and then onto New Mexico. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. I have a son who lives in Boulder, CO and a daughter who live in Lafayette, CO. My son has a new puppy who I have sat for on numerous occasions, and my daughter has three kitties that I have also sat for as well. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand. Your furry family members are just that, and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. My schedule: Micanopy, FL (4/14-6/14); Lakewood Ranch, FL (6/23-8/1); Green Valley, AZ (8/5-9/4); Albuquerque, NM (8/8-8/21)...more to post later. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.

Nicole did an amazing job watching our pups while we were away for a week. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos of our babies, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even managed to train our ravenous eater to sit and wait patiently for his food! We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pups with extra special care. We will absolutely use her again whenever we can’t take our fur babies with us.

Dawn dog sat for our two dogs over the weekend and she was wonderful. One of our dogs had just gotten two teeth pulled so his food had to be softened for each meal and he had medication to take in the morning and night. Our other dog also takes medicine. Dawn was able to manage their feedings and medication schedule successfully while we were away. When we returned, the dogs seemed happy and relaxed which is a sign that they were very well taken care of. Thank you Dawn!

Sam Assemgul was excellent! She performed all expected tasks as requested in a professional manner. Sam treated my dog with good care and love. She also sent me daily text updates and photos/movies which made the 13 day separation doable without worry. Thus, without reservation, I highly recommend Sam as an inhouse, long term dog sitter.
A care provider cancelled two days before our trip and Staci agreed to provide last minute care for our 14 year old pup for a few days. Staci dropped in several times a day, sent updates on activity and feeding which included great photos, and we even got compliments from the neighbors as to how present she was while we were away on our trip. We could tell our pup was in great hands from day one which was very much appreciated. Staci was just incredible, and we are thankful.
