“Nina was an amazing house/pet sitter! We would definitely recommend her! Thank you for helping us out last minute and taking great care of Brodie!”

“Gavin was flexible when I had to change arrival time a few times! My dog was a little barky when he first met her and when he arrived for the stay but he was great calming her down. He gave detailed updates and sent multiple pictures! Would highly recommend him!!”

Lauren L.

“5 stars for Ella! 🤩 My boy absolutely loved her. She asked all the right questions to ensure he got the proper care, sent plenty of updates, and her communication was 10/10. We can’t wait to book her again!!”

“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”

Jack B.

“I had a great experience with Sun! I really appreciated that they asked to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in their care. I booked extremely last minute, and he was very accommodating and worked with me to make everything happen. They kept me updated throughout the entire process and did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. I would definitely book with him again!”

Marais M.

“Autumn was amazing! She was so attentive to my cats, you can tell she loves animals. My cats gravitated to her, even my shy boy! She was also very great with communication. Wish she wasn’t leaving so I can keep her forever!😭”

Jacielle P.

“Emily is great! She sent continual updates and pictures throughout her time house sitting. It was clear that besides regular walks she also spent lots of time hanging out and cuddling with my dog, who is very affectionate and needs the attention. Would definitely book again!”

Nicole D.

“Nico watched our cavapoo named Rufus for four nights while we traveled out of state. They gave us daily updates, which were always of our dog at play and having fun. They left the house in perfect shape. And we would definitely go with Nico again in the future.”

About: I truly believe pets are part of the family—and when they’re in my care, that’s exactly how I treat them. ❤️ I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including walking, drop-in visits, and caring for them in both my home and their own homes. I love getting to know each dog and figuring out what makes them happy. Whether they want to play, go for a good walk, get lots of attention, or simply curl up beside me, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m an active, engaged pet sitter and love playing, talking to, and spending time with my furry friends. Once they’re in my care, they become part of my family. I enjoy playing with cats too, and giving them attention, but I also understand that many cats are happiest doing their own thing. I’m perfectly comfortable letting a cat have their space while keeping a watchful eye and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, fed, and cared for. My home is smoke-free, clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I keep food safely stored in cupboards and maintain a clean and sanitized environment. I’m mindful about keeping floors and common areas clean and making sure pets have a safe, comfortable place to relax. I have lengthy experience with large aquarium set ups with fish, turtles, geckos and lizards. Most importantly, I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated while you’re away, and treat your home and belongings with the same care I would want someone to give mine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a playmate, a quiet companion, medication reminders, a cozy place to stay, or simply someone to keep them company—I’m happy to help. Your pets aren’t just pets to me. They’re little members of the family, and they deserve to be treated that way. 🐾 P.S. Rover is my first experience charging for pet care and that’s why I don’t have many jobs posted or reviews. Previously I traded services or offered free. I have been a Trusted Housesitters member for over 6 years. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. My current availability is as such: Flexibility during the day/evening for regular and drop in-walks, drop-in visits, pet care, 7 days a week. Holidays: Same availability and services at a modified fee. I’m also happy to care for pets in my home for doggy daycare care or boarding when the timing is a good fit. I know pets do best with consistency, so I’ll work with you to understand their normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. As my schedule changes, I will update my availability as quickly as I can. When you leave your pet in someone else’s care, trust matters. I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, stick to their normal routines as much as possible, and pay attention to the little things that help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll keep things clean and secure, make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and never take shortcuts when it comes to your pet’s safety. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to doing what I say I’ll do. If something unexpected comes up, I’ll communicate with you rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, I understand that your pet isn’t “just a pet.” They’re family. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet—and to feel confident that they were cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine attention while you were gone. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. 🐾

“Sylvia was great! Communicative, clean, and easygoing. Our dog Honey can be suspicious of strangers in the house, but he got along great with Sylvia.”

Allison H.

“Emily was wonderful with my pug puppy, Peaches! She watched her for the weekend, and I felt at ease knowing she was in great hands. Emily was communicative, prompt, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Would definitely book again!”

Kaitlyn U.

“Vita was absolutely incredible sitting Eeko while we were gone! He can be a handful at times with his puppy energy, but Vita handled it extremely well and went above and beyond what we could have asked for. I cannot recommend Vita enough for any pet care you need!”

Caleb H.

“Hannah was an incredible guardian for Higgins at our home during our week-long trip. She followed our care guide closely and gave great attention to every detail of our labradoodle's care (walking, mealtimes, snuggles) AND to treating our home like it was her own, we truly couldn't have asked for better!! Hannah asked considerate and thorough questions about our pet's specific needs, and provided excellent updates day-to-day to ensure the best experience possible. It was obvious how much love and professionalism she brought into the experience, and clear that she is not only a wonderful friend to animals, she is also a wonderful person! We are happy to have Hannah in our orbit and would book her again in a heart beat.”

Isabella C.

“Super pet/housesitter! Easy to schedule, very communicative. Naya went above and beyond with taking care of our pets and our house while we were away. She sent frequent updates and our pets clearly loved having her stay with them. I hope we can use her professional services again soon!”

John S.

“Tabitha took great care of our australian shepherd pup while we had a evening out together. Thank you so much for the help. Especially on such short notice.”

Richard F.

“Maria was considerate, thorough, and asked all the right questions when looking after Midi, our 13-yo girl with some health stuff. We returned home to a happy cat and a clean, tidy house. Thank you, Maria!!”
