“Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!”

“Siena was great with our shy dog and very non-shy cat. She was attentive and provided us pictures while we were on our trip. She also communicated with us, and did a great job for us on our two week trip away. We would hire her again!”

“I use rover a good amount throughout the year for my two dogs. Even though they are very low maintenance and well behaved, I take very serious who I hire. James has quickly became a reliable and trusting person to help care for my dog when I am away. He was able to follow my care sheet perfectly and provided varied updates throughout the day. He will be my “go to” sitter for future trips. Happy to have met him!”

“Sarah was great with our pups!!! One of them had to have a cone for a few days and she handled him with care. She stayed the night at our house and lived on our 2 dogs just like we would. I highly recommend Sarah for watching our dogs again!”

“Laura was great! She took great care of my dog and 4 cats. Laura was responsive and polite and seems to really love animals. She did everything I asked and sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”

“Nicholas and Melissa are absolutely wonderful. My dog Luci had small medical issue right before I had to go out of town for work. Melissa stayed with my pup and took amazing care of her. She she treated Luci as if she was her own, and kept me up to date the entire time. Melissa made a very stressful situation much easier for me and my girl. I highly recommend both Melissa and Nicholas if you need caring and dependable pet care. Both of them are truly animal lovers, and I am so incredibly grateful I met them.”

“Scott was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him for you dog sitting needs. He took Hugo on multiple long walks and hung out with him during the day. He also brought him to Brewhound for some play time. We loved all the pictures, videos and tracked walks as well. We will definitely be using him again in the future. We felt at ease knowing our pup was being cared for by Scott.”

“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and took amazing care of all three of our pups and our home while we were away. We came back to happy, well-loved dogs and a spotless house. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. Highly recommend her!”

“Natazia was absolutely amazing with my dogs. From the minute she walked the door they were all over her. Sent pictures all weekend . I will definitely use her again . Such a sweet caring girl.”

About: I have been actively pet-sitting and taking care of my own animals since the early 2000's. I have experience watching dogs and cats of all sizes! I work full time with a rotating weekend schedule. I am always home after work and I am able to dedicate that time to pet-sitting. I am available for walks and check-ins before and after working hours! I currently have one cat, Echo, and he is a healthy, happy cat with numerous places to nap and toys scattered everywhere! I will treat your animals like my own and give them the love, attention, and safe environment they deserve.
“I had a great experience with Leslie as my pet sitter! She followed all instructions carefully, kept the house just as I left it, and most importantly, took amazing care of my two dogs and two cats. She sent regular updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Wonderful job as usual!! I was desperate and needed a dog sitter last minute and she was able to stay with our pups overnight. They were happy as could be when we got home! Thank you Lauren!!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a house full of pets and started pet sitting and working for horse trainers as a teenager. I completed a vet tech course and worked in an animal ER before my military service. I experience with all kinds of animals- from dogs and cats to horses- and I truly love them all! I’ve done extensive research and hands-on training with my own dogs, so I’m comfortable helping pets who need a little extra structure or patience. These days, my home is happily shared with three dogs and a cat who keep life full of love (and fur). My pets are family, and I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for yours- that’s why I treat every animal like my own, with compassion, patience, and genuine love. I’m available most days and flexible with timing. I can accommodate early mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I can usually accommodate visits or walks on short notice as well. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in my care. I tailor each visit to fit your pets’ unique needs and routines. I’m attentive, reliable, and always make communication a priority so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was little, and I can take care of most breeds. I’m very detail orinented and I can adapt easily to any changes I’m currently out of school and not working any other jobs so i have all of the free time to take care of your animals. I can easily follow any schedule given to me and any special needs that your animals require. i’m used to working with multiple animals at once so that won’t be a problem
“Diana house sat our two giant barky German shepherds for a long weekend for us and our neighbors said they could not tell we were not home -- very high praise indeed. Good communication and very very considerate of the dogs' typical schedule and habits. Highly recommend her and already booked her for a future date!”

“Alison was wonderful! She took amazing care of my babe, kept me up to date with any concerns and sent pictures as requested! So thankful I came across her profile! Thank you Alison”
