“Dee did a fantastic job taking care of my dog and two cats in my home for 10 days. The animals were happy and content, as the daily photos showed, and my house plants did well, too. I will definitely use him again when I have to leave my pet family at home and feel confident that everything will be well cared for.”
“Maggie was outstanding. She had a lot of fun with Karma, and provided regular updates and photos. Extremely professional. I highly recommend her. Will use her services again!”
“Victoria was great with my pup. She sent pictures throughout the day, took her on a long walk and out to go potty. She was attentive and loving and willing to work on the crate training we are doing. Will definitely use her again!”
“Not sure who liked her more our dog or us!!! Sammie is amazing! Followed the directions for our dog down to the very finest detail. She communicates often and clearly and took care of everything we needed. We highly recommend Sammie and will calling her in the future!”
“Another great experience with Victoria. She goes the extra mile to entertain Lulu, which is often a challenge when she is waiting for us to return. She keeps us updated with texts and photos.”
“Carissa is UNBELIEVABLE!! She went over and above what I asked her to do!! She stayed the weekend ( I wanted someone with my little girl all the time) came home and my house was cleaner than I had even left it!! She’s really good!”
“Terrific experience. Sara is experienced, understanding, and very committed to the best care for your fur baby. She makes sure there is a solid connection and understands the needs / requirements for your animal. She communicates well and puts your mind at ease during the absence. Highly recommend using Sara when you have the need!”
“Robin was excellent! She watched our dog and cat for 10 days and was very attentive to them and showed them love while we were away. We felt confident that they were in good hands with her. We would definitely love to have Robin watch them again in the future.”
“Jaidyn did a great job watching our 2 large dogs for the week. She was on-time, communicative, and responsive. We came home to a clean house and 2 happy and healthy pups. We will use her again.”
“Best dog sitter I’ve ever had and then I could ever ask for. She didn’t come and go like most dog sitters. Do leaving him alone for most of the day by himself. She stayed here the entire week I was gone. She took care of my dog just as good. I would’ve been here myself. She’s extremely trustworthy in the house kept it clean even did the bedsheets when she left so it was perfect when I got home. This is a 10 out of 10. She is absolute top notch. I will be using her 100% of the time moving forward if she’s available!”
About: With over 10 years of professional pet care experience, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s needs. My background includes managing the Canine Behavior Department at the Humane Society, where I specialized in working with fearful, reactive shelter dogs. I also led the New Beginnings program, teaching incarcerated men how to safely handle and train dogs preparing for adoption. In addition to pet sitting and daycare experience, I have veterinary technician experience caring for both dogs and cats, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. I’ve trained dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments using patient, positive methods focused on building trust and confidence. Whether your pet needs structured training, extra patience, medical awareness, or simply loving care while you’re away, I bring experience, reliability, and genuine passion to every animal I work with. I am available full-time to care for your fur babies, which allows me to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day and night. Don’t worry about your pets having to leave their familiar environment or stray from their routine. I provide personalized care, training, and enrichment for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay happy, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away.
“Tiffany was constantly in contact and kept great care of our fur babes. She clearly has love for animals and showed that throughout the entire stay. We HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Fynch has anxiety and Dina worked with him to gain his trust. She sent me pictures regularly as well. She left the house clean, including taking out the trash before leaving. I've never used this service before but I very well may in the future!”
“The dogs were well taken care of and happy when I got back! Ava did a couple overnights with my two dogs and was very responsive and sent me updates and pics while I was gone. Happy to have her watch them again!”
“Thank you for watching Ollie and Sparky! Dylan is gentle and reliable. Sparky, who is generally skittish around men, warmed up to him quickly. Ollie and Sparky loved their morning and evening walks, outside play time, and indoor cuddles and lounging. We would recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“What a wonderful experience with Marnesha. She took care of Rowdy while I was on a mini-vacation. When I came back, Rowdy told me he felt like he was on vacation under Marnesha's care. He is an elder pup and Marnesha made sure he got all his required medicines and vitamins. You will not be disappointed with the care that her and her beautiful dog, Sebastian, will provide. Thank you Marnesha.”
“We had a great experience with Annalyn dog sitting our 2 dogs at our house for a few days. She was very proactive in her communication and sent pictures on a regular basis. She was very respectful of our home and spent a lot of her time here with our dogs making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. We would definitely use her again and refer her to others.”
“Our minds and hearts were at ease leaving our girls and home in Sydney's hands! We have a geriatric Great Dane who needs help up and down and all around, so we had Sydney do some house visits for a few weeks leading up to our big 9-day trip to get them acclimated [the smaller dane is a piece of cake :) ]. Sydney went above and beyond to clean the yard and pick up the house even after all the stinky messes I'm sure she encountered at all times of the day and night. We already have Sydney lined up for a few more events and are so blessed and lucky we found her! (But please don't steal her time from us lol) THANK YOU, SYDNEY!!!!”
“Presley did an incredible job watching my 6 animals. The house was super clean and everyone was so happy and seemed well taken care of when I got home. I will definitely book with her in the future!”

Ann was fabulous with our 3 dogs! We were gone 16 days. She took great care of them! 2 are on medication - 1 for Valley Fever the other for Cushings. The 3rd is a 10 month old mountain aussie doodle. I can't sing her praises enough! Going to rebook her for our 12 day August trip!
Abbygail is phenomenal!!! We’ve booked with her multiple times over the last two years and each time we’re even more impressed with her quality of care! She is so kind, communicative, intentional and makes sure to send many updates throughout the stay. Our pup gets soooo excited to see her and we always feel comfortable leaving him in such amazing hands! 10/10 recommend!!!!
Aubrea is a kind, considerate soul. She took the best care of my fur babies on a holiday weekend. Upon my return, my babies were happy and my home was as if I had never left. She is responsible, communicative and honest. I could not have asked for a better sitter. From out meet and greet to our last communication, I knew she would be a good fit for us. I will utilize her services in the future. Thank you, Aubrea!
Dee and Tatyana took care of our rambunctious girls for a few days while we were out of town, and we came back home to a clean house and happy dogs!! They were so considerate in everything, including picking up the dog poop and sending us daily pictures. It's clear they have a passion for taking care of pets! Thanks so much!
Marie is the best! She was so good with my 20 month old Golden Retriever, and was wonderfully responsible watching him in my home for two days and nights for the first time. Marie communicates very promptly and professionally, and is super easy to work with. Highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for a fantastic Rover for their pet!
Faith did a wonderful job taking care of our home and all six of our pets! She made friends with even the most skittish of our cats, and stayed later in the day than originally planned when flight cancellations delayed our return. We will be happy to work with her again!
Gabriela was amazing with our two Labradors. This was our first experience with Rover and we chose Gabriela to stay at our home with our two very active and sweet boys. She was fantastic about sending photos and updates on their days and evenings. She made sure she understood their care plan before we left and she stayed with them and made them so happy. Our Labs are 5 years old so they can be both active and sometimes just want to snuggle and sleep. Gabriela made them very happy and I know they miss her. She left our home clean and just like we had left it. She's a pleasure to have as a pet sitter.
