1. Sierra F.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Sierra take care of my two dogs, Louis and Saint, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Sierra demonstrated exceptional communication skills, keeping me updated on how Louis and Saint were doing throughout their time with her. This level of attentiveness truly put my mind at ease, knowing that my dogs were in capable and caring hands. Sierra's love for animals is evident in the way she interacts with them. Louis and Saint immediately took a liking to her, which is not always the case with new people. She has a natural ability to make them feel comfortable and loved, which speaks volumes about her dedication and passion for pet care. Moreover, Sierra went above and beyond to ensure that all of their needs were met. Whether it was their feeding schedule, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, she made sure that Louis and Saint were happy and well-cared for. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for my dogs made all the difference. I highly recommend Sierra to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter. She exceeded all my expectations and provided an outstanding level of care for Louis and Saint. Thank you, Sierra, for taking such wonderful care of my fur babies!”

4. Maureen D.
About: I love dogs and have taken care of many different breeds for many years. When I'm dog-sitting, I treat them as if they were my own pets. When their "parents" are gone, it's important to make them feel secure. That's why I prefer to dog-sit in the pet's home. Also, I work in the medical field and know when a dog needs to see the vet. I am a semi-retired medical writer/editor and I work from home exclusively. This means that when I'm caring for your pet, I'm home with them every day all day. All I need to do my work is access to wi-fi. Also, I've had birds for more than 40 years, so if you have a bird in addition to your dog, you can trust me with its care. I mentioned earlier that I prefer to care for pets in their own home. It's less disruptive and helps them to feel secure. That's important to me.
5. Alyssa J.
“I had to go on a last minute 3 day trip due to a family emergency and messaged her on a whim. Alyssa was quick to respond, super sweet, and was able to make herself available to watch our 4 dogs. One of our dogs is normally super stand offish with new people but they warmed up to her right away, and even allowed her to give him some love. She was super attentive and took amazing care of our fur babies. She went the extra mile to send us frequent updates and assure us that our dogs were doing well. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again!”
6. Spencer D.
“Spencer was wonderful. Daily photos and words that gave us comfort that our Finn was doing well. I would hire him again and again. It’s been decades since we have needed a petsitter - and Spencer did everything to assure us he could handle the job.”
7. Virginia S.
“Virgina, takes pet sitting to new levels of care never experienced before! Our Mini Golden Doodle (MGD), has anxiety & gets sick when we leave for vacation, especially if kenneled. We had Virginia stay at our home to care for our MGD. Under Virginia care she was a happy & exceptionally cared for! Virginia is a caring & attentive pet sitter, who provides genuine love in caring for our pet. Highly recommend Virginia!”
8. Sofia W.
“For the past three years, Sofia has taken care of my two cats when I have been away on vacation. She didn't just clean the litter box and make sure they were fed, she played with them, appreciated them and hung out with them. Additionally, she would send me occasional pictures of them doing cute stuff; I loved that! I absolutely trust her to have keys to my home and to problem-solve if the need arises. Bottom line, Sofia isn't just a reliable pet sitter. She truly loves animals, and that is just the person I want watching my kitties when I am away.”
9. valery o.
“Valery is such an amazing person! Our dog takes a while to warm up to people, but him and Valery were best buddies in no time! I was nervous leaving our fur baby while we traveled internationally, but Valery ensured that our pup was well taken care of! We loved receiving daily pictures and videos of our dog and hearing from our neighbors about how loving and sweet Valery was with him! I highly recommend Valery for your pet sitting needs!!!”
10. Jawharrah C.
“Jawharrah is THE BEST! She’s been taking care of our senior, blind Chihuahua for a few years now, and we couldn’t be happier. She manages our dog’s complex medication regimen, feeding schedule, and various other needs with ease. She is kind and compassionate, has great judgment, and is super communicative—she doesn’t hesitate to ask if she has a question, and we love getting photo and video updates of our dog when we’re away. I am so grateful to Jawharrah. Traveling can be stressful, so it means the world to us to know that our dog and home are in such capable, caring hands.”
11. Nico V.
“Our animals were all calm and happy when we got home, and house was in the same condition we left it. We look forward to working with Nico again in the future. Thanks, Nico!”
12. Anissa H.
“Anissa was wonderful and super responsive whenever I messaged her. Asks plenty of questions to make sure she’s handling our dog with the outmost care and we truly appreciate that. Thank you very much🙏🏼”
13. Ana C.
“Ana is an amazing pet-sitter! She is very loving and caring with any animal she is helping with. She’s cared for my senior dog and two cats. She is able to help with giving medication, which is a plus for people with senior pets or animals who need medication.”
14. Heidi S.
“Heidi was amazing with my two pups. My dogs are a lot of work and she took the challenge with grace and knowledge. She is trustworthy and was great at communicating updates while I was away. 1000% recommend her!!”
15. Sashana G.
About: I’ve been working with dogs and other animals for the last 3 years. I worked at Camp TLC training dogs and working with golden retriever litters. I understand the behavior of dogs very well and your fur baby will be in great hands! Free all days of the week, if not I will let you know before hand. Currently making Rover my #1 priority! Please contact for a great pet sitter:) I have two cats of my own who are very friendly. I am very careful about not letting them out and making sure they are well fed and have plenty of water. I have taken care of many dogs as well, if they need boarding I have an extra cat room for the cats to separate from the dog if they aren’t friendly with cats. Extremely comfortable with watching any breed and temperament of dog.

About: Hello! I’ve been a dog Mommy for over 7 years. I’ve lived with 4 dogs at one time in a very small space and they were all impressively disciplined. I absolutely adore dogs and have become a professional cuddler. I live for that big smile they get after a nice belly rub! I’ve boarded dogs in my home many times; from Shiba Inus to Huskies. I am an energetic, assertive, patient dog lover and am ecstatic to meet your fur baby! I currently work full time; however, I’m still very flexible. I’m available as early and as late as needed. I’m willing to accommodate you as best as I can to find something suitable within our schedules. I have no timeframe restrictions. I always greet your dog and allow them to feel comfortable before engaging in petting. I am comfortable with crating if needed. I want your dog to feel safe around me and in my presence, so lots of love and affection may be necessary.

18. Izabel L.
About: I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and other animals. Growing up with pets, I've cared for them through all life stages, including training puppies and providing special attention to seniors. I also have hands-on experience walking and caring for my family, neighbors, and friends pets, ensuring they receive exercise, companionship, and proper care while their owners are away. I am currently in school part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! Availability every weekday after 1pm but my schedule is flexible. I have a huge fenced yard that shares a fence with a sheep pasture! I have a dog, a cat and 2 reptiles as pets.
19. Jaylynn S.
“Jaylynn was able to help me care for my pets while I was away on holiday. I’m so glad I was able to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring to take care of my pets! She even provided me with pictures and videos of them while I was away, which I absolutely appreciated so much! She is my go-to for care for my pets”
20. Rachel W.
“During my dog's stay at this family's household, she was treated exceptionally well and did not have any issues regarding getting along with their dog. She was properly fed and taken out according to my very large dogs' needs. I was very pleased with this service.”
