“Pennie was great with an overnight house sitting visit. We got pictures and the pups were happy when we got home. She even did a couple extra things around the house that we appreciated so much! Will def use again!”

“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for a week and took the very best care of our four fur babies. From the moment we met her, we knew they were in good hands. She treated them like they were her own, giving them so much love, attention, and care while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. We came home to four happy, well-loved pets and a home that was just as we left it. I honestly don’t think they missed us at all! Elizabeth went above and beyond in every way, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional with animals, Elizabeth is the one. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Christina did a wonderful job with my two little dogs! We felt totally comfortable leaving our pups in her hands and won't hesitate to use her services again!”

About: I’ve had a dog and cat for over 30 years. I understand how essential your fur babe is to your family. I’ve helped family, friends and neighbors care for their loved ones for the last 10 years. I have a very flexible a schedule during the day. I can stop by for a quick walk or a longer visit based on your needs. I have a large front yard and fenced in back yard. My cat is indoor and my dog loves to be outside whenever possible. My dog loves to take long walks each day. Many days she will take a few long walks.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how kind, reliable, and genuinely caring they are. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away—which says everything. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a very happy pup and a tidy space, and it was obvious our dog had been treated like family. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

“Jordyn was great! She staying at my place and watched my two dogs while I was on a work trip. She was easy to communicate with and sent pics of my boys throughout her time with them. I will definitely be booking with Jordyn again! Thanks Jordyn.”
“Highly recommend Shawnee. Great communication and attention to detail. Shawnee scheduled a meet and greet, where she took tons of wonderful notes and got to know the boys. While watching the dogs she provided the perfect amount of updates and photos. Appreciate all her hard work ☺️”

About: I’ve walked dogs around my neighborhood for the past four years. I have lots of experience with animals— I personally have many different animals such as dogs, cats, and others! I’ve had experience in the veterinary field and want to pursue the veterinary field and become a licensed veterinarian! I am free for whenever is needed! I am hoping to head over to college soon but in the mean time work up some cash! I have been walking dogs around my own neighborhood around four years now. I treat the animals week, in which they are safe and happy!
About: I grew up always having pets, as an adult when I didn’t have the circumstances to have my own pet, I started watching pets for all my friends. Bunnies, Dogs of all breeds, cats and more, I have watched and played with them all. I work for myself, for the most part from home, and I always love having a walking partner. Most of my work is very early in the morning or in the evening leaving me open most of the day for walks and playtime. I have a backyard, it is not completely fenced in but there is some nice grass. The house is pet ready with no choking hazards and laminate easy to clean flooring.
About: My fiancé & I have always had a deep passion for taking care of, loving on, and nurturing fur babies! I have always called her the "dog whisperer".

About: I picked up bride and grooms dogs from their homes and brought them to their weddings to get in the photos and ceremony while making sure the dog was taken care of and under control then brought back home. I work a rotating schedule so every week I have different availability, but I always have mornings off so I can cover any morning any time. Flexible and communicative. I am always careful of the food my pets consume and making sure they are fed on a schedule while also never too lonely or without playing for too long.
“From day one Christian was professional and willing to work with our not so friendly boy. We got hourly updates with pictures on our animals. One of our animals got sick while we were away and Christian was great with extra cuddles and provided what was needed. We had no worries or hesitations about our kitties and dogs while we were away.”


“Five stars! I had such a great experience. Nahiara took amazing care of my dog and home while I was away. Communication was great. She kept me updated. She sent pictures, and everything was clean and well cared for when I returned. Highly recommend Nahiara and would absolutely use her again!””

“Belle was a fantastic caretaker for our 12-year-old furry baby Scout. He can be a bit of a challenge since he is older and deaf. Belle sent us some pictures of him during our 6-night trip out-of-town. Scout looked happy, bright eyed and alert. Belle left the home neat, tidy and smelling clean and sanitized. I would recommend Belle without any hesitation. She will be first on my list to call when we need her to watch Scout in the future.”

Danielle was absolutely wonderful with Lottie! We were gone for six days, and she made it so easy to actually relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Lottie and our home were in great hands. She sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, which I appreciated so much. We came home to a happy, well loved pup and everything just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Danielle with Lottie again and highly recommend her!

Ashlei is wonderful! We are so happy to come home to our babies and they’re excited to see us and are calm at the same time! Will definitely be using again! I don’t want anyone to know about her, but that wouldn’t be fair! I can’t keep her to myself. She’s great! We really appreciate her!

Kylee went above and beyond for my animals. My fiancé and I were very nervous to leave them behind for an 8 day vacation, but Kylee helped ease that. She sent pictures, updates, and videos daily of the animals. She truly loved them as if they were her own. We cannot say enough good things about Kylee. We loved her so much, we already booked her for a year out again! Apart from the animals, she also kept our house very clean and respected it as her own. I felt very comfortable with Kylee at my home and with my animals. Thank you, Kylee!!

Carly is an amazing dog sitter! She took the absolute best care of our dog, Diesel, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of the entire time. Diesel absolutely loved her, and we feel so lucky to have found someone we trust so much with him. She also was great with communication and provided updates regularly, which was so appreciated. We cannot recommend Carly enough and would not hesitate to book her again!

We are so thankful for Mattison! She was wonderful with our Frenchie and our kitty. Very caring and so loving! She kept us updated with messages, pictures and videos which we loved. She is highly recommended and we can’t wait to book her again ! Thank you again Mattison!

It was my first time using Rover, and I was so nervous that my six cats would be too much to handle, especially with one being difficult to medicate. Lauren made the experience wonderful and completely put my anxiety at ease! She is kind, caring, and most importantly, incredibly patient. If you are looking for a pet sitter you can totally trust and rely on, Lauren has got you! Thank you, Lauren we look forward to booking you again, and our kitties loved their time with you!

I feel so lucky to have found Lauren! She’s super friendly, the dogs LOVED her, and she left the house immaculate! A total win! She also communicated throughout the stay and sent picture updates. She made me feel at ease. I’ll be reaching out to her every time to care for the pups!

Shelisha did a great job with our two large dogs. She was consistent with their schedule of food, treats, medication and play each day. Shelisha also communicated with us each day and sent photos and videos of our pets. On top of all that she also checked our mail and watered our plants. We highly recommend Shelisha as a dog sitter, as well as house sitter. We are grateful to have found her.
