“Sandra has a beautiful soul. She took such good care of my babies. She sent me pictures of them made into these lovely collages that I know took time and care to create. I rebooked her for my next trip already!”


“Brittney was awesome. She took great care of our dogs, and our home during her stay. She kept us informed and sent photos of our boys. I would definitely recommend Brittney to care for your pets.”

“Found Rosemary to be very reliable in taking care of our pets. She was attentive to our instructions and flexible to unexpected changes. She kept us informed and updated. We really appreciate not having to stress knowing the pets were being taken very good care of while we were away.”

“Cathy was absolutely incredible! We returned home from 10 days away on vacation to three happy animals and a spotless house. Cathy provided frequent text and photo updates of how our fur babies were doing throughout the entire trip which to help to set our minds at ease. We will not hesitate to book with her in the future and your pets would be lucky to have her stay over. ?”

“I recently hired Abby for overnight pet sitting, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment she arrived, it was clear my pets were in caring, capable hands. She took the time to understand each animal’s routine, quirks, and comfort needs, and it showed—everyone was relaxed, happy, and well cared for when I returned. I received thoughtful updates throughout the stay, including photos and little notes that gave me total peace of mind. The house was left spotless, and my pets clearly adored the extra attention and calm presence. It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable and professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. I will absolutely be booking Abby again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy overnight sitter who treats your pets like their own.”


“Its our first time booking with her and definitely won’t be the last. She sent lots of photos and updates it felt like we never left lol. The dogs love her and received lots of love from her. She’s the best!”

“Rebecca was a delight. She arrived on time and sent many photos of our dog, Kita, during her stay. She frequently updated us on how Kita was doing while we were away and gave Kita lots of play time outside and I inside. Great experience. 10/10 Would book again with her!”

“Giselle is an amazing Rover! We’ve used her several times and have always had a great experience. Our pup, Willow, gets so excited to see Giselle; she takes Willow on walks in our neighborhood (as observed by all our neighbors), sends pictures of Willow when she housesits, and most importantly is attentive to and plays with Willow which allows me to enjoy time away without worry. We couldn’t be happier with her! Thank you, Giselle!”

About: I have hands-on experience taking care of my own pets, two cats and an energetic Australian Shepherd. I’m used to managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s quiet cuddle time with my cats or daily walks with my dog, I’ve learned how to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m a full-time online grad student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. That lets me make sure your pets get their walks, meals, fun, and plenty of company throughout the day. I follow your pet’s schedule and give them plenty of attention and comfort in their own home. I’ll send you regular updates and photos so you know they’re happy and safe.
About: Im an aspiring veterinarian !I care and love you’re pets with all my heart and hardwork!I have worked with sweet seniors and big boys too! I currently work a full time in the evening but my days are free and I do have the flexibility to check in on doggies at any time :) I have a fenced yard to play in and I personally love to stay active so long or short walks are of no issue !
“Vonna was amazing. She kept me updated on her schedule, showed up when she said she would, and even tracked my flight to make sure my dog was safe in case I got delayed. She was so professional and well-prepared for anything. I really appreciated how thoughtful she was in letting me know how my dog was doing while I was away. I came home to a happy pup and a clean house. I highly recommend Vonna and will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips.”

About: My last pet was a blue nose pit, his name was Apollo. We got him when he was only 8 weeks old. I trained him and loved him dearly. He was such a big part of our family, He was a beautifulI soul! As he got older, even though it was hard to see his aging, I was grateful to be part of the process and be able to help him when times were rough. He left me with a void and a lot of love to give. I’m not quite ready for my own yet, but I would love to share my love and time with your fur baby. I have a pretty flexible schedule I work from home. My hours are 8 to 5. I take frequent breaks and I go on walks frequently. I’m a workout nut so I love to get outside and enjoy the day. I try to make sure that schedules are followed as well as incorporating activities when time permits I feel it’s very important for exercise. I always try to make sure that my visitors are comfortable and happy
“I absolutely adored Penny, she took great care of my animals but also knew I had a stressful day returning to my kiddos that she got the house ready for me and honestly it was amazing. I will forever only hire her for anytime I leave for another holiday.”


“Toneshea was amazing with our fur babies! She managed to get even better pics of Kobe aka Larry than I ever could! They actually took a selfie together! Toneshea was great with updating me on the kids and following instructions that were left for her! I didn't worry about my fur babies at all! I would highly recommend Toneshea!”

About: I have raised and taken care of dogs at every stage of their life from puppies to seniors, including potty training and administering medications. I also have experience in dog walking and pet sitting dogs of every age when I owned my dog walking business. I am available at any time during the weekends and after 5pm Monday - Friday for drop ins, pet sitting and dog walking, depending on your needs! I take care of my dog Benjamin daily, including walks and playtime. I offer my pet care services in your home! I make sure your pet is happy with all of their needs met. Safety is very important to me as well so you don't have to worry about your furry best friend at home while you're away/
About: I can't remember a time that I've ever not had a dog. I can bathe your dogs if you like and do some mild grooming such as nail trims and teeth brushing if you like! I volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years and was lead of their recruitment team for new volunteers. I have some medical experience as well! I work part time as a surgical technologist. I just graduated from college with my second degree and want to eventually do something that has me spending all my time with animals. I volunteer when I can and I also foster puppies! I will ensure that your pet is well taken care of. If there is ever a time that our pets will be left alone, I will have a plan for separation. And they will never be alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and will send you constant pictures of your babies. I also have two dogs of my own. They are 4 and 5! I also have cats living in the home. I do have a crate available if you would like your animal to be crated at any point. I'm happy to give meds if your baby if needed as well!
“Thank you for being so amazing - you were there when we were in a pinch! We welcomed our baby girl into the world and were thrilled to have our minds at rest knowing you were there with our fur babies! Thank you for going above and beyond- and last minute too!”

“Kelli was great. Highly recommend. She updated us with pictures throughout the stay. We were very comfortable knowing she was here staying with our dogs and they seemed to have a good time as well. The house was spotless when we got back as well. We look forward to booking with her again!”

Angie watched our dog and house-sat while we were on a 9-night cruise. She did a fantastic job. It was so nice knowing that Faith was being well cared for. Peace of mind when you are in the middle of the ocean is priceless. She also took good care of our home and left it clean. We have used Angie before and will continue to use her services.
