“Patrick came for a meet and greet and understood the needs of my reactive dog. He did great with her and she warmed right up to him. He took care of her specialty food needs as well as medication. He was also very responsive and kept us updated. We will definitely reach out to him for future sits.”

“Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Alex did a great job with Chip while I was out of town. It was clear he gave Chip lots of attention and gave him plenty of exercise. Alex was also very communicative and provided great updates!”

About: I've been a dog lover since childhood and had my own dachshund Charlie for 9 years. I've watched big and small dogs for friends and neighbors, frequented dog parks, and walked dogs through sweltering heat and snow banks. I work part time as a professional organizer and at a store. My availability is flexible and I can work to accommodate you especially on long term bookings. I have experience working in clients' homes for estate sales and as a professional organizer and I respect your space and belongings. I will put your pet's safety and health first and look out for anything that may compromise that while under my care.
“Heather walks my dog on the days I work, and she is incredibly reliable, so communicative and very quickly responsive. My dog loves her too, and I always appreciate the pictures she’s sends on their walks. Recently, we went out of town for the weekend, and Heather house sat. She sent multiple updates and pictures a day, which was so appreciated, and was just as communicative and reliable as always! I felt so secure leaving my guy and home knowing Heather would be there to take care of home. Thank you again!!”


“Our senior dog is special needs and has pretty extreme separation anxiety. Natasha stayed with her overnight. We received a detailed update on our girl, including an hour by hour account of how she didn’t sleep bc of her anxiety and how Natasha got up with her several times through the night to walk her and comfort her. I can’t say enough about Natasha’s kindness and patience toward our special needs girl.”

“Jenna and Aiden were wonderful! They were warm and responsible and bonded with our Two pets, especially our dog. Everything was in good order when we got home. We will definitely ask them back.”

“Merissa is a wonderful sitter and we are extremely happy with the care she provides! We have a few senior animals with special food and medical needs, and she made sure to follow all our instructions and kept us updated throughout her stay. She makes sure all of the animals are well-exercised and stimulated. We already have our next sit booked with her and highly recommend her as a responsible and thoughtful sitter.”

“Bradley was the perfect pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive and treated my home with respect. He sent frequent updates and pictures of my cat. He even helped out when the cat went missing unexpectedly, offering to look for him and lending a cat carrier. I will be using Bradley again for sure and I recommend you use him for your pet needs too!”


“Evelyn is wonderful with our furbabies! Took very good care of them and very communicative, sharing updates and photos while we were gone. I look forward to working with Evelyn again.”

“I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D”

About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.
About: I’ve done overnight and day visits with dogs and cats for years and do multiple days during the week now for a family member. I work well with large and small dogs. I am available all days of the week and have a very flexible class schedule so can easily fit in a visit with your pup! I am available for overnights every night as well! I have babysat for people who have both fenced and non fenced yards so I can easily work with leash using dogs. I myself have much experience with stubborn and large dogs on leashes so can handle tough pups!
“Kenedy was a super awesome sitter for our cat and dog while we were away for vacation! Very responsive, patient, and respectful of our home. Thank you so much!”
“We traveled with peace of mind knowing our dog and house were in good hands with Josie! Our dog warmed up to her right away and we got plenty of pictures throughout the stay. Highly recommend for a trusted sitter!”

“Ashleigh was amazing! So friendly, responsible and thoughtful! She sent lots of pet photo updates and made us feel comfortable while we were away for a couple of nights! Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“We were so grateful to have found Anna for this stay!! She was very helpful and stayed in touch with updates and photos. We were extra worried about leaving Lexi for this trip, as it was our first time away after our other dog passed. Anna was so understanding and took great care of our baby (and house!) while we were gone!! Thank you so much Anna!!!”

Patrick is such a nice young man who obviously cares about animals. He is great with my puppy Sadie who can be full of the nit. I have already used him 3 times and have been very satisfied with his friendly nature and care for Sadie. I highly recommend Patrick!

Kenedy was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive, instantly putting us at ease during our vacation. Our kitties were clearly loved, well-cared-for, and happy the entire time we were away, which means everything to us. Kenedy went above and beyond in every way - following routines perfectly, providing regular updates and photos, and even helping with clearing the snow from one of the biggest and coldest winter storms in years! We were able to truly relax knowing our cats and home were in such capable hands. We would not hesitate for a second to have Kenedy sit for us again and recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional house and pet sitter!

We're so glad to find Merissa & Nick to pet & house sit for us! They are responsible, trustworthy and took great care of our furry buddy, who can be a handful & reactive sometimes. They gave him meds, walked and played with him and kept in communication with us so no worrying on my part. Last, the house looks like no one was here. (They even took the trash out.) We will use them as our go-to sitters and walkers and highly recommend them to others.
Alex was an incredible sitter! He stayed with our dogs for a few days while we were out of town. He took great care of them, going above and beyond by bringing additional feeding tools and toys he thought would work well for them (thank you for introducing Oslo to a slow feeder!). He was very attentive to their needs, sent photos often, and provided frequent updates via text. Thank you so much Alex! We can't recommend him highly enough!

Clyanna is the best. She always takes care of our cat, Eugene, so well and I come back to a clean apartment and super happy cat. On a personal note, she is also really easy to communicate with and is just an all around sweet and kind person. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
