“Ashley is so great! She sent so many updates and cute pictures of our girl! Really appreciate her quick responsiveness. On top of it all she cleaned our house and gave Swiff a groom before we came back! What a great way to come home!”
2. Penny G.
“Penny accepted my last minute booking and was so helpful. She sent pics and really went above and beyond. I am so glad to have found her on here.”
3. Ashley C.
“I don’t think word could do justice for how wonderful Ashley is. She is such a warm and caring person and a joy to have as a company, my baby boy Bomzie for sure had a great time with Ashley. Ashley sent pictures and videos everyday and I could see how she is attentive to Bomzie and play with him because I told her only once that Bomzie loves to play and we always try to stimulate his brain through different games. I for sure will ask her to stay with Bomzie and I recommend her to anyone who wants to go on vacation with a peace of mind.”

About: I have a deep-rooted passion for pets, coupled with a wealth of experience that spans every stage of a pet's life. Having raised family pets from energetic puppies to beloved seniors, I've navigated the joys and challenges of pet care that comes with each unique phase. My firsthand experience includes not only the traditional responsibilities of pet sitting but also specialized skills such as training puppies. I understand the importance of a strong foundation in obedience and socialization, and I take pride in using positive reinforcement techniques to help young pups thrive and develop good habits. In addition, my background includes compassionate senior pet care, where I’ve learned to recognize the specific needs of older animals. This experience has honed my ability to provide comfort, administer medication, and manage health issues, ensuring a dignified and loving environment for seniors in their twilight years. Having been through the heart-wrenching process of saying goodbye to pets that crossed over the rainbow bridge, I approach pet care with sensitivity and tenderness—I treat every furry friend as if they were my own, nurturing them not just physically but emotionally. With my unique blend of training expertise, hands-on experience, and deep compassion, I strive to offer a pet sitting service that truly feels like home! 🏡 Working from home has given me the wonderful opportunity to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. My flexible schedule means that I am available throughout the day to shower your furry friends with affection, engage them in playtime, and take them on generous walks. Whether it's a game of fetch in the backyard or a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood, your pet will never feel neglected or lonely when they're in my care. If you're looking for boarding services, I’m happy to accommodate your needs! I am available to offer boarding/sitting in my home all week long at any time. Please don’t hesitate to contact me directly if you have a special request/circumstance as far as time is concerned and I’ll be happy to speak with you to see what we can work out! Rest assured, your beloved companion will receive all the love and attention they deserve in a warm, nurturing environment! I’m in a home with a large, fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs, a Great Dane/Catahoula Leopard mix named Alfie (M), who is 4, and a French Bulldog named Journey (F), who is 1 1/2! Both dogs are friendly & very playful! Alfie and Journey usually go between stays at my home and my parents home that is right next door to me. I can ensure your pet will be in a safe and very clean home that is equipped to handle everything from A-Z! If you have any special requests and specific instructions you need me to follow, I am more than happy to accommodate you and your beloved pet! I will have crates that can fit small and medium sized dogs, a variety of durable toys, and extra bedding and blankets. Please also feel free to bring anything at drop-off for your pet that will best suit them while they’re under my care - this can include their crate, bed, blanket, toys, or their favorite treat! If you request to have me board your pet in your home, I will ensure I leave your space in pristine condition and follow any guidance you may have to ensure I exceed your expectations!
13. Deja K.
“I highly recommend Deja! She has stayed with my cat twice and sent daily pictures and updates both times. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
14. Daniela G.
“Daniela is comfortable w/ big dogs and gave our Satch the love he needed. Satch can have separation anxiety and we returned from a 9 day trip and he was doing great (he says 5 stars all the way!). She cared for our animals well, communicated consistently and well, was very responsive, asked questions when necessary. Daniela also cared for our home well and left it clean as can be. Daniela is a professional and we will definitely engage her for future trips. Thank you Daniela!”
15. Julie N.
“Julie was great. We booked her for house sitting for our very spoiled dog. She provided twice daily updates with details from the day and she definitely entertained our needy pup with puzzles and games. We are always nervous to leave our baby but the updates and Instagram stories definitely showed he was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Julie and will book with her again.”
16. Lidia A.
“Lidia is a complete angel and THE ONLY person I trust my baby with!! I am positive she is treated better at her place than at home. (And trust me she is spoiled). I have a senior toy yorkie who needs a ton of attention and sometimes extra care as she is a diva. Lidia goes above and beyond and treats her like her own. She also has a built in playmate as Lidia’s dog is super friendly and hospitable to visitors in his home!! I love how she knows I have separation anxiety and will send cute pictures and updates throughout the day. If you are in need of a reliable, professional, and super sweet sitter, look no further.”
17. Jocelyn M.
“Jocelyn was excellent and I would definitely use her again! She responded to a last minute booking request I had due to unforeseen schedule changes and my mom, whose 2 dogs I was watching in addition to my own, getting Covid while on a vacation. She took great care of them and was super accommodating of all of their needs. One of my mom’s dogs is elderly and wears diapers and she was such a trooper about all of their care.”
18. Ashley N.
“Our pets were so happy with Ashley! She was great at communicating with us while we were out of town. We loved getting pictures of them daily. We are looking forward to our next trip this summer and having Ashley taking care of them again.”
19. Seth K.
“This was our first time using Rover. We typically only use family or close friends to watch our dogs. It was Memorial Day weekend to boot! So we were nervous. Seth made this experience so easy! I highly recommend! My dogs loved him and felt so comfortable with him being here. He also sent us updates on them as well. Thank you!”
20. Omar M.
“Omar took care of my little sister’s bird while we were away for a week and did great! Was super communicative and kept me updated everyday.”
