“Marie was amazing with our needy , energetic frenchie! You can tell she cares deeply for animals. She asked all the right questions, making sure she understood our dog's needs and routine. She checked in often and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We highly recommend her!”
“Dahn stayed at our house with our pups while we were out of town for 2 nights. We felt very comfortable with Dahn here and everything was exactly how we left it. More importantly she took great care of our dogs and sent constant updates and pictures. Our Marley gets scared when it’s storms and there was a storm while we were gone. Dahn gave her extra love and made sure she felt safe! We will definitely use Dahn again and would highly recommend her”
“I reached out to Emily after a friend recommended her, and I’m so glad I trusted my friend - Emily was highly communicative every day, clearly spent time with the animals, and very responsible! I recommend her highly! 😊”
“Jordan is fabulous. We had to book a house sitter at the last minute and Jordan responded quickly. We did a meet greet at our home with her and the dogs and we knew immediately Jordan was going to do awesome. She of took great care of our little guys and our house. Jordan is friendly, attentive to the dogs, and super easy to work with. She communicated throughout her stay giving us peace of mind knowing the dogs and our home were being well cared for. We will definitely use Jordan again !”
“Heather was a wonderful care taker for our elderly pup Marley. She put our worried minds at ease by updating us throughout the weekend. We would definitely use her again in a heartbeat! Thanks again Heather!”
“Olivia was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs!! We were out of town for a long weekend, and she took great care of our pups and home. One of our dogs is especially wild, and Olivia handled her perfectly. She sent photo updates and respected our house and left it the same as we had left it! Any questions I had about the pups’ behavior while gone were answered promptly. We will definitely reach out to her again when we go out of town next!”
“Amanda was just great. She was very responsible and respectful and very communicative. She sent us pictures of Buddy and kept us informed of what he was doing. We felt very comfortable about being away knowing that Amanda was there. We found everything spotless when we returned and we really appreciate that! We'll certainly have Amanda back!”
“I can honestly say that Max is the best pet sitter I’ve had yet! They were able to accommodate the sit on a bit of short notice, not to mention some unexpected medical needs for my dog. I almost didn’t go on my trip because my dog woke up with an eye infection that required medicine the morning I was supposed to leave. Max’s confidence to give her medicine put me at ease so I could still go. They kept me updated on how my pets were doing throughout my trip and gave them all the love/care they needed. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others.”
“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Matt was/is amazing! A true hidden gem or maybe not so hidden but either way I'm glad I found him. His immediate calming demeanor was just what my semi high strung energetic dog needed, as well as my timid cat. He was flexible, punctual, incredibly kind, and went above and beyond while caring for my fur babies. It made being away from them that much easier as my mind and heart were at peace. He also sent me lots of photos of them which always brightens my day when I'm away from them. I could not recommend Matt enough.”
“Veronica was amazing! She took excellent care of our pup and was very communicative. Cooper was very well cared for and we felt at-ease leaving him with Veronica, even when he had some special needs and required extra attention/help. We would highly recommend her for any pet care!”
“Jen is our preferred dog walker and for good reason. She's very personable and trust worthy. Brooklyn (our dog) is a fan of hers and we look forward to her caring for him in the future.”
“Rachel watched our 2 dogs and home for a week. We were very happy on our return. Our puppies were well cared for and she left our house very clean. We'll definitely use her again!”
“Mary Rose was wonderful!! Very communicative, caring, and did a great job updating me while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. The frequent pictures she sent of my boy throughout the day eased any worry and I knew he was being well cared for. Cloud approved and made a new friend😊🤍”
“Just wow- Pauline really came to the rescue for me. It’s a long story, but I had to work overnight at the hospital and one of my dogs was having a severe episode of separation anxiety due to some recent changes in my schedule/travel. Pauline happened to see my message in the late hours of the night (which I was totally not expecting) and offered to come stay with my dogs last minute in the middle of the night. I couldn’t believe it. Pauline is such a kind, caring, considerate, thoughtful person- I am so grateful she could help me out.”
“Megan was great! Both of my dogs loved her! She was very professional. You could tell she loves animals. We needed a house/dog sitter in less than a week and Megan responded promptly to the request.”
About: I have been responsible for my own pets’ care since I was 12. I have had a very active German Shepard mix and Sharpei growing up, which I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and care. I have a family friend that I walk and hike their dog for so I am comfortable doing both if your dog is more active. I currently work fully remote from my home with schedule flexibility so I am able to take pets for walks in mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to be flexible for walking and pet visits during guardian vacations, time away, etc. I have a pet-free home for any pets that are not used to other animals. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with green space. When dog-sitting, I take the approach of playing with a pet outside and familiarizing prior to introductory period in the home.
“We’ve had a lot of sitters, but Kate quickly proved she will be on the top of our favorites going forward. I loved that she understood my dog and wanted to keep to his own routine while I was traveling. She was communicative and kept me in the loop on everything. She rolled with stepping in to help deal with some sensitive tummy issues and providing meds and helped him quickly recover.”

Emily has been an outstanding cat-sitter (twice now) for my two boys. She's responsible, communicative, and attentive to the cats' needs. One of my cats is usually pretty timid with strangers, but he warmed up to her right away. She sent me daily messages, pictures, and videos of my boys, which is incredibly reassuring when I'm away from them. Emily is my first choice for future cat-sitting needs!
Marie was more than I could ask for. I have never used this service before never mind leaving my fur baby with a stranger. Marie went above and beyond. She communicated with me daily and sent lots of pictures. She watered my plants, took the trash out on garbage day and fed our new Beta fish. I will definitely want to work with Marie in the future. I recommend Marie 10/10.
Jen just spent the past week in our home with our puppy. We’ve used Jen in the past and we already have her booked for several additional dates. She is 100% our go-to for house sitting and puppy care. We highly recommend her. Our puppy is always happy and very well cared for, and Jen takes excellent care of our home, leaving it spotless upon our return.
Davonna is AWESOME! She is communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. My gang enjoyed their weekend with her and she put my mind at ease. I’ve been using Rover for years and I never feel any less anxious when I have to find a housesitter but I will definitely book Davonna again!
Janalie is the best dog sitter around. She gave so much love and attention to our Labrador retriever and has amazing energy from the moment she met the dog. She kept us up to date and sent photos throughout her stay. Our doggo was in good spirits when we got home!
Teddy was absolutely amazing with our kitty! We had just moved to the area and had a graduation to attend over the weekend and were nervous about having to leave our cat after such a big move. Teddy was very kind and easy to communicate with and made sure that our cat was well cared for with play time, treats, and company while we were gone. They were also great at sending us picture updates during their stay. We would absolutely book again!
