“Bre was great with Foxie. She treated her as if she were her own. Foxie had a lot of activity with Bre’s family as evidenced by her being so tired when we got home. She put herself to bed early! Thanks, Bre and kids!”


“As a local rover sitter myself, so I’m setting the bar high, I was very pleased with Thalia. My 6lb baby lost his brother of 15 yrs a week before my unavoidable trip. I was beyond devastated, full of greif and unbelievable guilt at the thought of having to leave my little guy now, especially with the level of depression porky was in. Thalia took Porky all around with her the little dog bag I have so he wasn’t alone. She gave him the attention and love he needed to finally start eating again. After being gone 4 days I was so relieved to see Porky’s personality coming back and he’s eating normally again now that we’re home. I know this would not have ever been possible if he hadn’t been receiving the love, attenti & affection the entire trip I was gone. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Thalia for giving me the peace of mind to travel again and know Porky will be in good hands❤️”


“Ramaris is an amazing pet sitter. She sent pictures and communication of how our fur baby was doing. He looked happy, safe and loved. When we returned he was so happy and content. He also was sent home with treats and a toy! Wow! We are so pleased to have had Ramaris as a sitter. She is top notch hands down. Rocky will be back for more visits!”


“Olivia did a great job watching Hawk over the holidays! She sent lots of pictures and gave him lots of attention. He’s a high energy dog, and she handled him perfectly. We could tell he had a great time with her. We recommend Olivia and plan to use her services again down the road!”


About: I love all kinds of animals! Growing up, I had dogs, chickens, birds and even turtles as pets! It gave me the experience and knowledge of being an animal care giver. I love to foster pups from different rescue groups from Michigan AND Puerto Rico (my home country). It is a great feeling to know you are somehow contributing to safe a life in desperate need. That’s how I adopted my recent baby girl Nova. She’s a tropical girl from Puerto Rico, just like mommy ❤️ I also adopted my baby boy kitty called Mishu, and from the photos you can tell he’s 100% a momma’s boy. Lol I’m open to handle your babies’ medicines or to complete any special task. Just let me know what you need. I’m here to help in any way I can! Working from home allows me to have a flexible schedule for potty breaks and playtime. Also, my baby girl, Nova would LOVE to have new friends to play with during the day. :) I have a big backyard which Nova loves. Even though it’s not completely fenced (2 sides out of 4 are fenced), we have been able to train Nova to stay around us. We also have a super long leash that we could use if you want, to make sure your pup doesn’t run away. Additionally, one of our great neighbors allows us to take Nova to her fenced backyard and have some playtime with her dogs as well. If you allow me, we could spend some playtime in our neighbor’s yard. :)

“Erica watched our little Shih Tzu lady for eight days and sent us frequent pictures and videos so we could see how our pup was doing. Communication was easy and stress-free; we recommend her!”


“Flavia took very good care of Lucian and he loved his vacation in her home. We had to leave our sweet boy for a whole week while we were traveling for a wedding in CO. We got communication and pictures of his stay with her and it’s very obvious he was very happy. 10/10, if we leave town for an extended period we will book with her again.”


“We had a last minute hospital visit and needed some care for our puppy again. And once again, my pup had another great time -- she came back happy and relaxed after a fun couple days at the puppy spa! Thanks so much! :)”


“Kayla was absolutely wonderful for Lola, she was very communicative helping us feel comfortable that we left Lola in very good company. She even socialized Lola with her family. Well done!!!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs, whether it’s within my own family or taking care of a friend’s pet. I’m very attentive to what your dog needs, from food preferences, walks, playtime, and every other part of their routines. Need me to pretend your dog’s food is “fresh from the oven” so they’ll actually eat it? Been there! Need me to ensure they get to roll in the grass x number of times on their walk? Been there too! I will ensure your dog feels as safe and as close to home as possible when they’re with me, and I’ll provide as many updates as you need! I work from home, so I’ll be with your pet every moment! My general availability is as follows: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday: 8 am - 6 pm and after 8:30 pm for overnights Tuesday: 8 am - 5 pm and after 7:30 pm for overnights Friday: 8 am - 5 pm I live in an apartment so I don’t have a full yard, but there is easily available outdoor space for potty breaks. Outdoor time and walks is based on your requests! If your dog is comfortable with dog parks, I’m happy to bring them to any of the nearby dog parks for playtime. If you have a pup that needs more space, I know plenty of quiet, shaded spots for walks. In my own home, I’m fine with them on the couch or bed unless that’s something you don’t want them to do - any rules you follow in your own home will be followed at both mine and yours.

“Molly was so awesome to work with. Quick response, very laid back and accommodating! Made sure to slowly introduce them to the her dog and did a great job making sure everyone was safe. She even let them stay an extra night no problem!!! Will 100% book with her again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs (and cats) for 15 plus years. I have two dogs of my own and would love to spend time with your fur-babies too! It brings me so much happiness to be with animals and we all need extra happiness these days. ❤️ I work 3 days a week as a nurse, I have a huge fenced in yard and two dogs who love to play. Everyone is allowed on the couch and in bed for snuggles at the end of the day :) I am a nurse and I work at the hospital 3 days per week. I would like to fill my extra time with extra pets in the home, it also makes my boy dogs so happy to have more friends to utilize our huge backyard with. I live in a single story home with a fenced in yard. Lot's of nature and squirrel chasing in this backyard. We also have a park nearby where we take the dogs for walks and would love yours to join us!

About: Hi! I’m Adriana — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve been around animals my whole life and find real comfort and joy in their company. While I can’t have a pet of my own full-time right now, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours like they’re part of my family. What sets me apart is the combination of genuine compassion, practical experience, and flexibility. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structured walks and playtime, and I have a gentle, patient approach with senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications, handling special dietary needs, and following detailed care routines. If your dog has anxiety or needs a little extra reassurance, I’m more than happy to provide calm companionship and a safe environment. I currently work part-time at a hospital just three days a week, which gives me lots of flexibility during the rest of the week. I’m also a college student, and spending my time off with animals is the perfect way to recharge — while helping pet parents feel confident and supported. Whether you have a hyper pup who needs to run or a sweet older dog who just wants cuddles, I tailor my care to their needs. I’m a big-time player too — so fetch, tug-of-war, or park outings are always welcome! Safety is my top priority, and I always make sure walks are done in secure, low-trigger areas. I always ensure i'm respectful of everyones homes as I would respect my own!

“Ashley is one of a kind pet sitter. My fur babies live the best life doing their favorite things when the go stay on the farm with Ashley. I get updates, photos and videos and I feel comfortable knowing they are being well cared for while we are away!”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Alex and her wonderful family! They took such amazing care of my dog, Rose, and made her feel right at home. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave her, and I was so grateful for the updates and photos throughout her stay. Rose came back happy and relaxed, and I know she had a great time. I highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!💕🐶”


“Karen did an amazing job watching my 4m old kitten. She updated me daily and sent photos and was extremely caring with my baby. Karen provided the best care I could hope for is and very kinds individual. I highly recommend her ❤️”
