“Our dogs like her better than us! She was a remarkable friend—she immediately felt like family and I feel 1000% better about any future travel knowing I have someone like Montserrat to watch our home and our fur babies. Love, love, love!!! 10/5 stars”


About: I was a Manager at a dog lodge for 4 years. I took care of all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am CPR certified. I am pretty good at training dogs, but not professionally. I’m currently on a break from working a full time job. Currently I am enjoying my hobbies, and taking care of my own dogs. We go to the dog park every other day, and they get plenty of enrichment time. I live in an apartment. We have a dog park here. It is fully fenced in and open 24/7. I am also right next to the Shelby Farms dog park. We can do leash walks and off-leash walks if you want. I also have 3 dogs of my own- a whippet, a cavalier, and a cocker spaniel mix. They all are great with other dogs. I also have multiple crates in my house. If anyone doesn’t get along, I have ways to work around it.
“Cybil went above and beyond to care for my three puppies, which is a lot! And they had some special pharmaceutical needs at the time. I would recommend Cybil a hundred million times.”

“Kayla was the best Rover we’ve ever used. She sent us pictures daily of our pups and she was extremely communicative. We did a meet up before our trip just so she could meet the pups and they warmed up to her right away (dogs know ?) You won’t regret using Kayla as your in home dog sitter. She treated our home with respect and we came home exactly the way we left it.”

“Auntie Ty is the best! She was so attentive to all of our animals and cleaned up after our messy cats like a champ 💪🏻 She’s also a great communicator so you will always know your fur babies are safe, healthy, and happy! ❤️”

About: Hi! My name is Eliza and I have had some type of animal in my life since before I could walk! I have over 10 years of experience watching and taking care of pets. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited for every visit. I can’t wait to take care of your baby or babies! My schedule’s flexible, so I can give your pet consistent care, playtime, attention, cuddles, and lots of love whenever they need it, all throughout the week. I keep pets happy and comfortable by following their normal routine, providing walks, playtime, and affection, and ensuring their space stays just the way they like it!
“Hannah was amazing with my 2 girls!! She updated me, sent pictures, and communicated great. My girls absolutely loved her and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were taken care of. Will definitely rebook with Hannah!”

“These folks are wonderful! My two girls (yellow labs) loved Christy and Carmine. They spent the most time with Carmine and he was amazing with them. He stayed overnight and stayed/did checks during the day. He kept me updated throughout my trip, not just about the dogs, but about my house, the weather, and the mail. He was meticulous in following the notes I left behind and working with the unique personalities of my dogs. Carmine will take wonderful care of your pups and your place. I'd trust him (and Christy) again and again with my girls. They are the best folks and I know I'll work with them again!”

“Julia took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were out of town for over a week. We arrived home to happy, calm, content pets and a beautifully clean house. We appreciated her thoughtful pictures and updates about how our girls were doing in her care. She also helped our nervous pups feel comfortable faster than any other petsitter (or visitor of any kind!) has in the past. Thank you again, Julia! You're the best.”

“Absolutely perfect first house sitting stay with our pup. Great communication, excellent care of our pup and our house. Really good guy, we definitely recommend that he take care of your pets.”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life, I have dogs ranging from 15-85lbs. I currently have two small terrier mixes and two pit bull mixes. I have worked with a shelter for years now and help with that as much as I can. I have previously owned cats, I also have 16 years of experience caring for horses. I have experienced with all animals including but not limited to horses, donkeys, goats, rabbits, chickens, dogs, cats, snakes, geckos, and more. I work part time, typically about 2-3 days a week. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and can accommodate most bookings. I work 8 hour days. In home services are dependent on availability. I have other pets in the home. Your pets must be okay with other dogs. I have a room dedicated to boarded pets.
“Rachel was amazing! All of our animals were very well taken care of. She sent pics of them everyday, and told me how they were doing. She also noticed one of our cats was being bullied when it came to food, which we hadn't noticed. Now that kitty is eating again and loving life. She definitely went above an beyond what was expected! We got a few inches of snow, and she had the driveway all clear for us when we came home. I will absolutely be using her again!!”

About: I’ve owned different breeds of dogs from pit bulls to chihuahuas. Growing up I was the dog sitter for everyone around. I bathed walked and took care of them mostly from the comfort of their own homes as their owners were away on trips. I am between jobs rn so for the next couple weeks I am completely free any time of day any day for whatever needs my pets may need. My yard is not fenced in so outside time at my house will consist of being walked on a leash for as long as the dogs may need. But otherwise they will be inside.

About: I go above and beyond for every one of my pet owners to make sure their babies are safe, well taken care of, and spoiled!! I have experience with all breeds, of all sizes and ages as well. I do everything I can to make sure your pets are happy and healthy. I also buy treats and toys (specific to your pups needs/wants). I'm currently working full time, from 8:30-3:30. So I will be with your babies in the morning from 6:30 AM to the time I go to work, come back around 3:30-4 PM, stay for a few hours, and then make one more night stop. Or, I just stay if im staying at my pet owners house. I dont do boarding but I am able to bring your babies to my house if need be whike i watch them. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats (2 of which are kittens) that would love to play with them and I have kennels if necessary as well. When at my pet owners house, I like spend quality time with all of the babies, make sure everyone is fed and taken care of and play until all that energy is out!

About: I’m a college student and a big dog lover. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and taking care of them, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ve worked in jobs where I had to be responsible and stay calm under pressure, so I’m someone you can trust to handle different situations and follow instructions. I’m patient and pretty good at reading behavior, so I’m comfortable with dogs that are energetic, shy, or need a little extra time to warm up. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. I’m also easy to communicate with and will keep you updated while you’re away. I am available for walks and sitting most days throughout the week. Inquire with me about my schedule! Willing to be flexible and work around the client’s needs! I care for pets in the client’s home and stick closely to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and care, and make sure the pet feels safe and comfortable. I also keep the home clean, respect the space, and provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away.
“I was VERY happy with Tierra. She took great care of my pups and my house . She sent so many great pictures and videos throughout her stay. She was very interactive with them. She played with them so much my pups were exhausted when I got home, which was great because I was exhausted after my trip as well. My pups loved her. They were sad to see her leave at the end of the weekend. I will be using Tierra again, in fact, in the next couple of weeks.”

“Shelby did a great job with Ollie (high-maintenance Weimaraner) and Kitty! We received daily updates on both pets and knew that they were in great hands! Shelby even took Ollie on a walk for us to make sure he got some exercise! She left the house spotless and was punctual with her arrival and departure times. She was a great communicator throughout the whole process! I would highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for a great sitter!”

“Melissa came to the house early Sunday morning to be with Tootsie and Gizmo. She stayed with them until Saturday evening. They were well cared for. Thank you very much, Melissa.”
