“We got Meredith's help with walking our dog Chance and had a great experience with her. We asked if she could help with dog sitting at our house for a few days. She was responsive and thoughtful and we trust her with Chance!”

“Angie was absolutely fabulous with our pup! She was so caring, sent plenty of adorable updates, and treated Maisy like her own. It was clear our dog loved her, too! Without a doubt, we’d love to book with Angie again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup and our apartment!”

“Tam watched our dog for over a week and was wonderfully attentive and communicative. She sent numerous photos and updates each day and also left our house in perfect shape.”


“Maddie was amazing. I was a little nervous to book through Rover but our pet sitter had to drop out right before our two week trip. Maddie was super responsive and was able to meet us beforehand. She consistently kept me updated and sent pictures. I got home yesterday and the house was clean but more importantly my dog and cat were super well adjusted. That's saying something because they both have separation anxiety. Thank you Maddie!”

“Stephanie was brilliant. She was so trustworthy and caring towards our 3 dogs. One is very sensitive and it was not an easy job. Our dogs were sleeping with her, even though I’d never have expected it. The dogs prefer it. She was so tolerant and diligent. She also communicated with me the entire time. She is fantastic and I give her the highest recommendation.”

“Paul was kind and responsive right from the start! He helped us out on a short notice watching our puppy Santiago. He provided us with great tips/tricks and met us early/stayed late. We will definitely book with him again, Santiago can’t wait to go on more walks! 🐾”

“Had Maddy stay at our house and take care of the cats while away for 10 days. Communication was excellent! Cats were well taken care of the given plenty of love! I highly recommend her!”

“Hanna was my first overnight sitter for Clementine! She was very thorough in updates and made accommodations to work from home with Clementine while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will use her again in the future!”


“Ben and Cicely did a great job taking care of Oliver and Kirkland as well as housesitting! They provided multiple text and photo updates per day. Our dogs received a lot of outdoor time, which I'm sure they really appreciated. It was our puppy Kirkland's first time with a housesitter, so there were times where she became very anxious. Ben and Cicely were so patient with her and calmed her down. Overall, I think it was a great experience for all parties. Thanks, again!”

“Natalie was amazing. She took great care of my older cat, anticipating what he needed to be more comfortable. She sent updates and photos regularly and left the house clean and neat. Highly recommend!”

About: I have lived with dogs since I was born, mostly larger breeds (German shepherd, golden retriever, huskies) and now have a cat too! Love animals! I work from 10am-5pm everyday but have most afternoons free and also can help out during the weekend! Can also pop by during lunch if it's a short enough distance! I have experience taking care of friends dogs, both crated and uncrated and can arrange for whatever is best in my apartment! My cat is also very dog friendly but can stay in a separate room if needed.
“My family could not have asked for a better person than Heaven to stay and care for our dog. Heaven brought us peace of mind while we were away as she is extremely professional, kind, caring, responsible and attentive. I received updates and pictures and our house looked untouched when we returned home. If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars, I would!”

“Andrew is a great dog sitter. He was very accommodating when our previous dog sitter cancelled on us. He is easy to communicate with and is great with dogs. He stayed at our place for a week and watched our dog that doesn't really like new people while we were traveling. We came back home to a happy puppy, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Highly recommend.”

“Alice was was amazing! She asked great questions during our meet and greet and instantly put me at ease. She was super responsive and had great communication. During her overnight with my cat, she sent me great photos of my cat, I could tell he was very pleased with spending time with Alice. Alice left my house in perfect condition. I would 100% book her and would highly recommend her!”

“Ashley is the absolute best!! She has an easy going and wonderful personality and quickly established a great rapport with our 10 month old mini-Aussie. Ashley has stayed at our house to take care of our puppy several times and she has been so open to the dog's needs in terms of walks, feeding, playing. We've loved having Ashley as a puppy care taker and would highly recommend her!”

“We had a great experience working with Arshneel for the first time while we were just away for two weeks. She was incredibly reliable and responsive and gave our large, energetic dog plenty of exercise time!”

“Christine watched our dog for a week in our home. She sent regular updates, and we felt confident she was taking great care of our pup. She left the house in excellent condition, and we plan to hire her for our next trip!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love caring for pups of all sizes. I’ve dog-sat for neighbors and friends for years, and I’m very comfortable with big dogs thanks to my family’s 95lb English Lab☺️ I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I can also provide references from families I’ve dog-sat for throughout high school and college! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so those days I am super flexible! It’s easy for me to step out for a walk or do a drop-in during the day, and I actually enjoy breaking up my work with some pet time! The other weekdays when I go into the office, I am available for drop in visits/walks anytime after 4pm! Most Saturday and Sunday’s, I am available throughout the day for visits as well! I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home, following their routine and giving them plenty of love and attention! I also send updates to owners so they know how everything is going.
About: I don’t have the financial capacity right now to have my own dog, but I get so much joy out of being around and caring for dogs! If you are looking for one time or reoccurring dog care or dog walking, I’m happy to help out! I have varying flexibility, but I can often work from home. With advanced notice, I can work from home and be available to do walks anytime over the course of a day/evenings depending on your needs. I am open to caring for your dog in the way that you need! I know that the idea of having a stranger in your home can feel uncomfortable, I am also happy to discuss and comply with any boundaries that you might have around safety and trust.
