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!

Thank you Seth, for a seamless, successful visit. The dogs didn't even miss us but I think they might be looking out the window for you today. The house, the dogs, and the Guinea pig are all in great shape and I have zero complaints. I would be happy to have Seth take care of our house and animals again.

About: Ever since I was little I've always been around animals, watching over both family and friend's pets. I've watched and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes from small to large and young to old. I am also not a stranger to dogs with special needs; such examples as blindness, anxiety and separation anxiety. I am currently going to High School but anytime after 4:00PM on weekdays work for me. My weekends are completely free so any time can work. Currently my house is not suitable for any pets as my landlord does not allow any, so I am only offering my dog walking services, check in visits and overnight stays.

“Gabriela did a fantastic job taking care of our 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Daisy! She is very kind, loving and detail oriented-just what we needed when leaving our senior fur baby! We loved the photos she sent—they really put our minds at ease. When we returned, the house was impeccable and Daisy was a happy camper! Gabriela is a wonderful sitter, and we will definitely hire her again!

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!

About: I’ve been a (very happy) dog owner for 10 years, and an animal lover since my first pet cat at the age of 5. My two rescue pups are my life, and they live a healthy, active and loving life with me here in Burke. Growing up on a farm provided me with a life filled with animal caretaking, and has given me several unique opportunities to care for a TONS of different pets. Since living here in Burke for 2 years, I take a lot of pride in meeting and interacting with all of our dogs and families within our community. I spend a lot of time helping out neighbors with last minute dog walks or home sitting, and working with our other community members to create inclusive, safe environments for our dogs to play and interact at our local dog park. Taking care of dogs is a serious passion of mine. I treat my dogs Molly and Luna as my children, and I extend that same love and care to all fur babies who come my way. Working with pets is currently my full-time job and focus! Finding time to take care of your loved one(s) IS my routine, and can be available to provide walks, play time, house sitting, park visits, etc., from 9-4 every week day. I like to treat your pets as if they are my own. I will follow all directions providing for feeding, walks, and more. But on top of that I love to just spend time with them to make them feel at ease - belly rubs, playing with their favorite toy, or whatever else brings them joy!

Isa stepped up on short notice. She did a phenomenal job with our furry kids. She communicated often, and was extremely flexible when we came back on short notice. She showed up on time. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for pet care needs. She’s very responsible.

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.

We hired Lisa for a last-minute trip to visit family, and she was a fantastic housesitter. From the start, she put us at ease and we felt confident our two cats would be well cared for. She was super communicative, sent frequent photo updates, and was flexible with our changing plans. When it looked like our dog care might fall through, she was even willing to step in and help with her too. Lisa went above and beyond - she assured us she’d check in on the cats again if anything came up with our travels, and we came home to an impeccably clean house. She even washed the sheets, which made coming home that much better. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!

Anna did a wonderful job looking after our slightly neurotic Bernedoodle and newly adopted cat for several weeks. She sent us lots of picture updates and managed to get our picky dog to eat without issue. She left the house just as clean if not cleaner than when she came. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

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.
