“Alison took extra special care of my two older dogs while I was gone for 10 days. Both of my pups have some health issues. She gave them meds, kept track of symptoms, and was proactive in letting me know about changes and concerns. She is always responsive and detail-oriented, and she shows genuine care for the whole family. From our conversations, I also know that she cares deeply about her community. I really appreciated getting regular photos of my dogs' goofy faces, and having that reassurance that they were happy and getting along just fine. Oh, and A++ for also looking after my ducks and plants!”


“Taylor was a great dog sitter and guest in our home! She was on time, communicated well and made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates. She dealt with our senior dog and rescue with so much care, when we came home they were so happy. She also left our home in spotless condition”


“Dina is fantastic! We were super happy about her watching over Charly ( crazy youg goldenretriever) and Lilly (cat). All went so well with the animal and her entire stay. She is definitely a responsible person. We will have her again with no hesitation! See you soon again, Dina. Emmie and Patrick”


“This was Lulu’s second visit with Paloma. We love how Paloma interacts with her, and she is clearly comfortable with Paloma. We will definitely continue to have Paloma take care of our little girl.”


“We had just moved to Arizona and I was in need of a dog sitter. Was hesitant to use Rover due to past videos I’ve seen with negative experiences. After reading Kendrick‘s profiles and reviews, I reached out to meet up and make an introduction. Kendrick had a calm energy, easy to talk to, physically capable of walking two dogs and most importantly, my animals seemed to trust and respect him. Though we didn’t connect on the day I left or the day I returned, I feel confident he followed through on my requests and the dogs were taken care of. Yes, I would recommend him for watching your dogs or any other animal that he accepts❤️🔥”


“Maddie was wonderful! Our fur baby Archie is terrified of fireworks. As we would be gone on the 4th, I wanted to make we had the right person to take care of him. Archie fell in love when they met before we left. Maddie was very responsive through the whole process and gave us complete peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Maddie to take care of Arch on future trips! We highly recommend her if you need a reliable, loving person to care for your fur babies!!”


“Jewel did a wonderful job stepping in with little preparation when my friend couldn’t stay with my pups while I was away. After a video meet and greet, Jewel came and figured out my pups complicated routines. She messaged when she had questions or concerns. Her co-sitter, Scout, was good with my dogs and extra careful with my elderly blind guy. My old guy, PV, wasn’t eating and we figured out that he had been missing his heart medication as well as his pain medication! As soon as his medication was straightened out, he was back chowing down. He fell in love with Jewel, leaning on her for pets — which he never does! Pearl, the diva head of the household, fell for Jewel right off and followed her around and slept with her and Scout. Not only did Jewel take great care of the pups, walking them daily and brushing them, she kept up the house so it was neat when I returned, took out the garbage, got the mail, and did poop scooping in the back yard as well as watering the plants! I will certainly have Jewel stay with my dogs again when I travel. If you have pets you love that may have complicated medication schedules, Jewel can manage and I highly recommend her.”


“Gretchen was fantastic. Great with the dogs, very responsible, learned some complicated feeding and meds processes fast and accurately. Clearly cares about what she does and the dogs loved her. I will use her again for sure!!!”


“Highly recommend! Jesse watched our two cats while we were away for the week. She kept us updated and did a great job taking care of them. The cats were happy and healthy when we got home and I could tell they were being well taken care of all week. Jesse was a pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with her again in the future!”


About: My entire life has consisted of dogs and cats in the house and I love my furry pals. Currently co-parenting two senior dogs. Can teach sit, lay, stay and better walking habits. Also experience with animal home check-ups, feeding meds and little play dates. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I'm a stay-at-home artist with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work in a few pet care clients throughout the week or weekend. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I can usually adapt my day to meet your pet’s needs. Let’s chat and see how I can help! I always aim to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine—feeding times, walks, play, medications, and all the little things that help them feel secure while their humans are away. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and thoughtful about your pet’s environment. I take the time to understand their personality, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether it's giving extra love to a senior pet, administering meds, or just keeping a shy cat company, I care for every animal like they’re my own. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Jamie was thorough in understanding the limitations Mango has and was cautious to not create any anxiety for my dog. She was very prepared for the meet & greet and asked pertinent questions. I would recommend her!”

I can also do weekday stays and visits but only outside of my 9am-6pm working hours.

“Chelsea is great! This is the second time we have been lucky enough to book her for house sitting for multiple nights. She is responsible, responsive, and most importantly great with our two dogs. We will continue to reach out to her whenever we need sitting in the future.”


“Lyz was absolutely fantastic! She watched our two dogs, Molly and Wyatt, for 8 days and went above and beyond in every way. Communication was great—she sent regular photo updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We have a large, energetic 1-year-old shepherd who’s still very much in his puppy phase, and Molly, our 4-year-old, tends to be a bit skittish with new people. Lyz was incredibly patient, and Molly warmed up to her beautifully. She stayed in our home and treated it with the utmost care—we came back to everything exactly as we left it. It truly felt like she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. I would highly recommend Lyz to anyone looking for a reliable, respectful, and caring sitter. We feel lucky to have found her!”


“Mary spent a week with our dogs and they were lucky to have her! They were clearly well-loved while we were away, and she sent plenty of updates through their time together”


“I’m an extremely anxious cat mom of three, and leaving my babies for a whole week felt incredibly stressful. From the moment I met Pat before I left for my trip, she put my mind at ease, and throughout the 8 nights she stayed at my home, she went above and beyond in every way. Pat sent me 10+ photos a day, which meant so much to me. I could see my cats’ sweet faces and their comfort in her care. She gave me frequent updates on their eating habits, litter box use, playtime, and overall behavior—every thing that matters so much to a cat parent when they’re away. She treated them like her own and slept with them every night so they wouldn’t feel alone. I felt truly lucky to have found her. I came home to a clean house and happy, relaxed kitties. If you're a fellow anxious pet parent, or just someone looking for the absolute best care for your pets, I cannot recommend Pat highly enough. She’s thoughtful, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals.”


“Sabrina is awesome!!! You can tell she truly cares about the pets and gives a lot of updates while she is house sitting! I can guarantee we will be using her again in the future for our dogs!”


“Elsa was great, and our pups really liked her. She was easy to communicate with and we were very comfortable leaving Radcliffe and Sophie in her care while we went away for a quick 24 hours. If our calendar and hers match up in the future, we'll happily reach out to her again to stay at our home and watch over the pups :)”



“Kaitlynn took great care of our elderly, anxious pup while we were away for our wedding. She put Lenny at ease which in turn helped us relax and not worry about how she was doing. Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby!”

Monique L.
“My dog is a two year old mini poodle who has had a pretty rough beginning. I adopted him at our local animal control center in February. Monique (Mo) has such a wonderful patient way of working with Lucky, Mo's voice can be either playful or in teaching mode. She praise my dog constantly. Mo taught him to "sit" in a very short time, using some treats. I have followed up with Lucky on walks, but, in effect, without treats. He holds treats in his mouth so treats are given when we get home. I bought a set of boots for Lucky for protection on our terribly hot pavements and desert rocks and stickers. He took about 3 seconds to get them off when I fastened them. But with Mo, he was willing to keep them on in the house, Walking in that high legged, convulsive, floppy fashion, Mo took him for a walk in the neighborhood. They came back in half an hour with Lucky walking normally and seeming proud of it. Its a work in progress, I can get the boots on him and have him walk around the house, but I haven't tried a long walk yet. Mo has my complete confidence and trust in her abilities with dogs.
