Jessica was an excellent sitter. She gave my cat medicine twice per day, and cleaned up after. Jessica is very trustworthy, and communicates regularly. Highly recommend her!

If you want a worry, free time away from home, John is your guy. He spent a week with our golden retrievers, in our home. He sent frequent updates and pictures. It’s apparent that he has an affinity for dogs! When we arrived home, the house was tidy and clean just as we had left it. I will feel at ease requesting John’s dog sitting services in the future.

This is the second time we have had Jessica take care of our animals and she did an absolutely excellent job as per usual! She even helped us with some packages and our animals just adore her! We recommend her to everyone we know (but we call first dibs because she is the best!)

Took fantastic care of my dog, who’s still in a very high energy phase of his life and has some reactivity issues. He’s also a drama king, and Bailey spoon fed him on one of his fussier days!

Our pup seemed very relaxed when we got home which is usually not the case. From the pictures Haylee sent, I can tell Hatty really was comfortable with her! Will definitely use again

We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver to our 2 little dogs. Judy was absolutely wonderful with them and gave them the best attention and care while we were gone that week. Excellent communication throughout with pictures and updates and gave them so much love and attention. Took great care of our home and left things very clean when we returned. We will definitely contact Judy in the future to care for our little girls. So very grateful!

Katrina did a great job with the three cats, and administering a topical medication that they are not keen on receiving. I got plenty of pictures of the cats throughout her stay. It's our first time using Rover and everything went as perfectly as could be.

About: I love working with pets. My parents have two dogs that I love bringing on walks. They are fun to play with and give attention too. We have also had different dogs when I was growing up it is important to know each pet has a different personality. We have also had cats that are completely different from dogs. I enjoy playing with them with toys and petting them. I also have experience with Guinea pigs. I have had one for over two years and I know how to take care of them. Let me know if I am the right fit to watch your dog, cat, or other animal. Thank you for reading my profile to consider me for watching your awesome and great pets. I love working with animals and I include them in my daily routine. They need do get there exercise, play time, attention and feed/ treats. I would rather take care of them in you home because the pets feel more comfortable when they know where they are. I love to keep them happy

About: I believe in creating a calm, safe environment for pets, whether it’s a fun walk around the neighborhood or a cozy nap at home. My MinPin passed away a year ago and I miss having a companion, hoping I can help be that human for a fur baby who may need sometimes that too. I am available weekdays and weekends, and I always send daily updates with pictures to keep you connected with your pet while you're away. I always want you to feel like your pet is at a home-away-from-home. I am available weekdays and weekends. I currently work seasonal part time outside of the home from 9-2:30 and have three children in school. I can walk during the day and some evenings, in my neighborhood or the many trails around our city. I am able to work from my phone and/or laptop, if you prefer I accompany your pet at your home. Having grew up with dogs and cats, I understand that animals need to trust me in their space, as I need to trust them in mine. I prefer to stick to a routine and a schedule closest to your pets, rather than adapt them to mine temporarily. I do allow animals to sleep on my furniture, however if you do not, I am respectful of that. You know your pet best :) We do have two geckos that reside in cages in my kids rooms, these rooms will be blocked off from visitors.

Kind, trustworthy, and our two dogs (one who is elderly) and one cat LOVE HER! She stays at the house to make us feel better about leaving. We come home to a more clean house than we left it. This was the 3rd time we requested her and we will continue to do so.

Carla was absolutely amazing! When we got home, our pup was sad to watch her new friend leaving :( Carla updated us the whole trip, took Stella on walks throughout the day, and made sure she was fed at the right time. I felt so confident away knowing Stella was in great hands! 10000% recommend

Dylan and Kayla were so great with our dog! They took care of all of our dog’s needs, played with her and gave her a lot of attention, and consistently sent us lots of great updates with great photos. We came home to a very happy pup and a very clean house. We can’t wait to have them come hang out with Maya again!

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was 14 years old. I love taking cares of other peoples animals and truly enjoy every second. I have a flexible full time job and I am looking for occasional jobs to spend time with some pets and make a little extra cash! I carefully follow the owners instructions always to ensure that everyone is comfortable with the care I am providing. I will also ask any questions to make sure of this.

I really appreciated that Brianna knows that each dog will have its quirks and was ready and willing to adapt to a dog who can be aggressive/intimidating at first. Through patience and treats, she and Mack became good friends! She was very responsive and accommodating, and she kept a good level of contact throughout the weekend.

Abby was fantastic in caring for my dog! She was communicative and updated me throughout my entire trip with photos. My dog is reactive and Abby was fantastic about meeting her where she was and attending to her special behavioral needs and schedule. I highly recommend booking with her—I know I will again!

Morgana went above and beyond while housesitting for our two adult dogs. She brought over new toys and training equipment for them to explore and sent professional quality photos and videos to us of the dogs each day. She left the house clean and our dogs happy. I would definitely recommend Morgana to anyone whose pups need lots of love and attention!
