“Barb aka MacGyver 😜, was awesome. My doggies loved her and we felt very comfortable knowing our furbabies were well taken care of. Barb was very considerate of our home and kept our house spotless.”
“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful at taking care of our cat and dog over the weekend. It gave us peace of mind to have someone like her watch over our pets.”
“I was nervous using a new person from Rover after moving here and losing my old dog sitter. Jessica did great. She kept in touch with me as I am a crazy dog owner who has a boujee princess cockapoo whom I love like my child. Sent me a lot of pics too. Marlee loves her immediately. Will use again ?”
“Ava was wonderful with my dogs! She took the time to meet Goose, my fearful dog, prior to house sitting and was so kind and respectful to Goose’s needs. She had all three dogs sleeping in bed and absolutely loving their time with Ava.”
“Mackenzie was great! She took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our booking so she could meet the boys, see the house, and make sure it was a good fit. We learned about her dog and were super comfortable leaving the boys (and our home) in her care. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. The boys loved her. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Dave was really helpful, especially since we had another sitter cancel last minute and he was able to accommodate anyway. Kiko had a great time and our home was well looked after, too. Thanks again!”
“Sanibel had an amazing time with Stephanie. She hung out with her 2 nights in a row during our wedding weekend. The 2nd night as soon as she saw her she was prancing her way excited to spend the night with her. Stephanie was super flexible and accommodating and we knew right away Sanibel wa in great hands. We hope she can spend some time with her again!”
About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.
“Nikki was wonderful with our beagle, Wesley. She sent pictures regularly and followed our requests without any issues! Our house, including all our flowers, were well cared for! Communication excellent. Nikki was also very accommodating when we had travel issues returning home. We would use her services again, for sure!”

I will make sure to fully understand your pet’s care needs and will communicate any questions or issues I have promptly. Safety is always my number 1 concern!

“Mackenzie did a great job looking after our dog and reptile crew. We received a ton of videos and pictures during her stay, and our house was spotless when we got back. Best of all, our dog looked like he had a great time with her. We highly recommend Mackenzie for your petsitting needs!”
About: I will only have one dog at the time (or 2 if they are from the same family). My family had a kennel growing up we had shih-tzu, Pomeranian, Scottish terriers and Australian shepherds. I have always had dogs myself, Scottish terriers and a rescue dog (chihuahua and fox terrier mix). My dog just recently passed away so at this time we have no other pets in the home. I work away from home on weekdays but can go home during lunch to provide a walk and potty breaks. Weekends I am home full time. Any boarding during weekdays would require the dog to be able to be alone for up to 3 hours. Weekends we would only ever need to leave for groceries or if my son have a soccer game (never more then 1-1.5 hours). I have a small backyard with temporary fence that can be put up for small dogs (it’s a very low fence). I have a 10 year old child in the home but he is gentle and has been around dogs of all sizes his entire life.
“Did a great job with my boys.”
“Madison took such amazing care of Oliver during a long shift. She let him snuggle her and gave lots of love. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and communication. Definitely recommend! I’m sure Ollie is looking forward to next visit.”
About: Have trained and raised 3 beautiful dogs and have family within the foster and veterinary fields. Having a few pit bulls, have basic obedience and leash walking training..we live super close to the water as well as dog parks and playgrounds and would love to help other pups have a good and safe life:) Or a cozy environment if your fur baby prefers a calm safe space. One of us works from home, mainly nights, so there is always someone around to take care of the precious pup..and our weekends consist of hikes, water adventures, less reactive trails, and movie parties! We have a closed in 3 floor apartment as well as multiple courtyards and doggy parks right around the corner from where we live. We live directly next to a school so a fenced in playground (without other dogs) is also available. We have a large and small sized crate with lots of enrichment treat, toys, galore !
About: My whole life I was never able to have pets up until two years ago which is when I got my first girl, Jojo. She changed my life completely and so I had to get her a sister. My love for them is unmatched and even though I don’t have training what I do have is unconditional love and plenty of free time. I recently resigned from my job so I do not have a work schedule to work around so I am able to give my pets as well as yours all the attention and care that they need. I do have a fenced yard so if they need to go outside for potty or play there is no risk of them running off. I also two dogs at home as previously mentioned but I do have a dog gate inside if your pet needs some alone time. I separate my dogs during meal times and sometimes just to give individual attention. Both my dogs are girls and they are sweet and very playful.
About: I have grown up with dogs and rescued my big hunk of love Leo. I love dogs of all sizes, breed and ages and cats as well. I actually like dogs more than people. I also am a cute cat lover too! I have two black beauties that love to snuggle up but also play when they are feeling up for it. I have a pretty flexible schedule as I am a personal trainer and I teach fitness classes so I don’t have a typical 9-5 job. Feel free to ask questions. I crate my dog when I am at work. He loves going in it and waits for me to shut the door every morning before I leave.

Lucinda E.
“Luci is an absolute gem when it comes to pet sitting. She’s one of the most reliable, caring, and attentive people I know, not just with animals, but in everything she does. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or any creature in between, Luci treats each pet like they’re part of her own family (though I will say she’s especially gifted with cats!). She’s incredibly responsible, keeps you updated with photos and messages, and goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. I’ve seen her win over even the most anxious pets with her calming energy and kind heart. Plus, your home will be just as you left it- if not cleaner! If you’re lucky enough to book Luci, your pets are in the best possible hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Rachel V.
“Rachel is the best with dogs & also cats! She would rescue every dog possible if she could. She treated her rescued pittie named Leo just like a child. He always had a chair at the campfire, she always took him on walks, he slept next to her in bed and she was always spoiling him. He was always getting dressed up for every holiday and he seemed to enjoy it. She is always around her mom and sisters dogs as well. I would trust her with my animals with no worries. I highly recommend her!”
