Isa was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Finley. She was attentive and clearly took the time to understand his routine and personality during her stay with him at our home. Finley can be a bit particular at times, but Isa handled everything so naturally and made sure he was comfortable, well cared for, and happy throughout the day. We really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was, and it meant a lot to know he was getting so much attention and care.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Gabriella took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away. She kept everything running smoothly—no issues at all. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups. We especially appreciated that she took the time to brush our German Shepherd and made sure his leg brace was on during the day, which shows how much she cares. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!

I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!

I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!

Look no further, you’ve found the fantastic duo of dog sitting! Hire them and you will not be disappointed. We have three very different rescue dogs. We were very nervous to leave our fur babies, especially because two are recovering from surgery. Hue and Anna put as at ease and when we got home, our dogs were happy, healthy, and sleepy (love it!). They also sent us adorable pictures and updates.

This is the first time we used Rover and we will use it again to re-book with Kaitlin. She definitely has a repeat customer in us. Thank you so much, Kaitlin!

Livia was great!! She was able to come to our house for a meet and greet a few days before our last minute trip away on a holiday weekend. She was timely, flexible with our schedules, and comfortable with our four dogs and one cat. She gave us consistent updates and photos, which were super appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Livia again to pet sit our furballs. Thanks Livia!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I helped my mom with her dog boarding business in 2020 and since then have taken care of a multitude of both young and old dogs. I will NOT take last minute requests without a meet & greet. I'm used to picking up after those without potty training or those with stomach issues and sympathizing over those sweet pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule over the summer and am available for dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I strive to be as flexible, reliable, and accommodating as possible to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every animal in my care is always my top priority. I have experience interpreting canine body language and understanding breed-specific needs, including the specialized care required for brachycephalic breeds and barrel-chested breeds. I am attentive to each pet’s individual temperament, routines, and stress signals to help create a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable administering medications, handling accidents or cleanups, and adapting to the unique needs of each pet. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have experience with other animals as well and am always willing to learn about the proper care and handling of different species. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are in safe and capable hands.

Ray was wonderful with our dog and took great care of both her and our home. Communication throughout the stay was excellent — we received thoughtful updates, honest notes about how things were going, and clear follow-ups at the end. Our dog can be a little hesitant in bad weather and new situations, and Ray was patient, attentive, and proactive in giving her plenty of opportunities, encouragement, and affection. It was clear she was comfortable, well-exercised, and genuinely cared for. Ray also went above and beyond making sure everything was clean and handled before leaving. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house, which is exactly what you hope for. We’d absolutely trust Ray again and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

I can't say enough about Zena! She's an amazing sitter and such a sweet person to work with. I was very timid about leaving my fur baby for 2 weeks and she was constantly in contact and took care of my home while I was away. She also brought toys and took extra care to make sure my fur baby was cared for in the most beneficial ways! I recommend her for anyone who needs that added level of comfort and just general niceness!

Batel stayed with our 2 year old American Bully for a week while we were away on vacation and she was great!! We were apprehensive about using Rover just because of some stories we have heard in the past, but Batel was very responsible and trustworthy and put us at ease while we were gone. She was super responsive and good at communicating, sent updates and pictures daily, and even stayed an extra day when we decided to stay at the beach longer. We would definitely recommend Batel and will be booking with her in the future again!

Gabriella was amazing! One of our pups has severe anxiety and likes very few people. She became comfortable with Gabriella quicker than anyone before. That is a true testament to Gabriella’s calm and caring nature. Our pups were in great hands with her; we will be working with Gabriella for all of our pup care needs!

Dionisia was very attentive to my pup's (Charlie) needs, even when she had an unexpected responsibility elsewhere. Charlie who is quite timid, took to her rather fast, which is saying a lot. Unfortunately, Charlie developed a stomach issue which required to be let out several times throughout the night. Dionisia was a champ, taking care of her! I would not hesitate to utilize Dionisia for future visits.
