About: I've been a pet owner since I was a child (dogs, rabbits, hamsters, birds, and even fish). I've grown up with large breed dogs, small breed dogs, and everything in between. Dogs have been considered family for my entire life, and I started dog sitting after losing my fur baby (a Pug, aged 17) in 2016. Although I no longer board dogs in my home (I now have 2 PitWeenie rescue dogs, Lilo & Stitch), I happily dog sit in your home, and I enjoy providing drop in visits, as well as dog walking! I currently work full-time, but I am able to house sit whilst dog sitting in a client's home from Friday nights until Monday morning! If your dogs are able to hang out during the day without their humans, I can house/dog sit evenings after work. Fur babies are family members, and it's up to me to make sure your family members maintain their same daily schedule they are used to. If you tell me they love to eat their meals with a human sitting on the floor with them, that's what I'll do. If they are used to sleeping in bed with their humans, they get to sleep in bed with this human, too! My goal: make your dog feel as is nothing has changed, other than the human, in their home.

3. Olivia M.

“Olivia was amazing with our Cavapoo, Lulu! They bonded instantly, and Lulu got to stick to her routine even while we were away. She made sure Lulu got plenty of playtime and attention, which we truly appreciate. Thank you again, Olivia, for keeping our girl company today! 😊🐶”


4. Sharon P.


“Where do I even begin with Sharon- she is just SO INCREDIBLE!!!!!! We went out of town for 5 days and this is the first time we used Rover. Sharon came over to our home twice before we left to meet our animals and to go over all of the details. I was a little nervous about leaving our furbabies but let me tell you, I was so comfortable with Sharon taking care of them knowing they were in loving hands. Sharon sent me photos and updates of them every day and exceeded all expectations. I will forever use Sharon to watch our babies, they absolutely loved her!!! My skiddish scared cat even came out to greet her which never happens with anyone. Sharon is such a sweet, respectful person and I could not recommend Her enough. ❤️”

10. Maria L.
“Maria is one of the most loving and responsible pet caregivers I know. She has cared for countless dogs over the years, always treating them like family. Whether it’s giving them daily walks, administering medications, or just offering comfort and cuddles, she does it all with so much heart. Dogs in her care are safe, happy, and truly loved. I would trust her with my own pets in a heartbeat!”

13. Kathy R.

“Kathy knows her business and has a natural connection with dogs. Our little Chihuahua mix is very shy with strangers, but Kathy gave her a "massage" that immediately won her over. We were very comfortable knowing Kathy was taking care of our dog and two cats for the holidays. Highly recommended.”


14. Alayna C.
About: I’ve had three dogs of different breeds in my house for 10+ years and love any type of animal. My mom and I just got a puppy as well and I am confident with both young and senior dog care. I’ve had experiences with pet sitting before and will do anything to ensure your pet is in the best hands. I am home from college and do not have a set routine. My schedule is extremely flexible and I am willing to mold my days around the proper pet care! All pets are different and require different care. I will do my best to make sure they are comfortable and depending on their energy levels, shyness, other needs, I will plan accordingly.


15. Liana H.


“Absolutely incredible pet sitter! We hadn’t left our shorkie alone overnight for a very long time. Liana stayed for four nights and took amazing care of our dog skippy and our cat boo. Excellent communication with pictures really helped us just to relax and know they were in great hands. We appreciate you so much Liana!! Thank you!”


16. Arin P.

17. Rain O.

“Rain was wonderful and took such good care of my two highly affectionate, high energy cats. She was easy and responsive to communicate with and very responsible with timeliness. She sent photo and video updates almost every day and was very responsive to all of my texts while I was away. I came home to my house looking as pristine as I left it and two very happy and well cared-for kitties. Rain is a sweetheart and I highly recommend her for your animal care needs.”
