Madison was fabulous. She kept us updated on the pups with pics. The house was in great shape when we returned! Thank you Madison! We will book with you again.

Kat was amazing!! It was our first time leaving our dog, so we were nervous about how it would go. Those fears very quickly flew away, because Kat went above and beyond in so many ways!! We highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. We will definitely use her again!

Wendy was amazing with our pups. We came home to happy pups and a clean home. She gave us daily reports and pics. She gave some feedback to consider. One of our pups like boundaries and she handled him very well.

Paul did a great job house sitting our reactive and skittish dog for a week while we were on vacation. Paul asked our update frequency preferences and delivered on them. Paul seems to genuinely care for Zoey's well-being and took good care of the house too. Would book again!

Deborah is outstanding! She took great care of our puppy, sent pictures several times a day. My wife loved that. We totally felt good leaving our baby with her. Deborah allowed us to have a relaxing trip without worry. Max bonded with her from the beginning and I think was sad when Deborah left. I would recommend her totally.

Lainey was fantastic! Our little dog was immediately comfortable with her and she was great with him. She was communicative, left our house clean and tidy, and when our flight home was delayed, she offered to come feed and visit our dog an extra time. I would very gladly ask Lainey to dogsit again!

About: I have taught my dog multiple tricks and continue working on separation anxiety and reactivity. Since getting my dog I have learned a great deal about dog food, behavior, and training. I've always had love for animals, and have had a dog in the house since I was 4 years old ranging from small dogs too big dogs. Growing up I would binge animal planet and had hopes of being a veterinarian. Now as an adult, I have had Midas for 3 years. I treat every new dog I meet with respect, and of course love. I've learned to be able to adapt my energy and interactions with different dogs depending on their personality. I would love the opportunity to be of service to you and your lovely fur-baby! I will be un-employed from my seasonal lawn and landscaping job starting December 12th. I will be returning to that job sometime April 1st. I also plan on starting an odd jobs side hustle during the winter months. So if i become too busy from odd jobs I will adjust my availability accordingly and stay available for constant communication to ensure no scheduling conflicts. Christmas and new years (December 22nd- January 2) will be limited availability. February 14-21 i will be on a trip to Arizona. I take my dog for a jog every morning, at least one walk, to our little dog park at the apartment two times per day, and the big dog park a couple of times per week. We go on adventures together and explore different walking paths and nature trails. We feed him once a day and ensure he does a series of tricks and waits for the "ok" command before he can eat. We feed him a three way mix of fresh pet, Dr. Harveys, Meats, and Kibble. I intend to provide a healthy and fulfilled life full of play and love for my dog, and I will treat your dog the same.

I highly recommend Jonah as a house/dog sitter. He understands dogs, is extremely patient with them, and knows how to build trust with dogs who are anxious. When we returned from our trip, our dog was happy and the house looked exactly the same as when we left. Jonah is dependable, honest, personable, communicative—an all-around very decent human being.

Beth was very communicative and worked with our older dogs to accommodate both of their needs (our little one doesn’t love walks but the big one loves and needs them.) During the meet and greet, she noted even little things, like where the dog beds are/where they like to sleep. I definitely plan to ask Beth back.

Abigail is the best! My dog, Dottie, is a very anxious girl and she warmed up to Abigail after only a couple minutes during our meet and greet. She sent pictures the entire time I was away and took such amazing care of Dottie. I would recommend her for any dogs and will definitely have her comeback to take care of my girl the next time I need an overnight sitter.

It’s my first time using Rover and was eager to work with Sara based on all of her positive reviews. The 5⭐️ reviews are spot on! Sara was amazing! Super communicative and responsible. She updated me daily with pictures and a summery of how things were going. I cannot recommend Sara enough and hope to be able to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Sara!

Leah was great with my babies. We have 1 dog that is blind and diabetic. The other 2 can be a handful. She was able to handle giving shots. My babies were sad she didn’t come back. We will definitely be using Leah again

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.

Paul was fantastic to work with! He was flexible, accomodating, communicative, and very patient with our dogs' quirks. He took great care of the pets and the house. We happily plan to have him take care of our pups again in the future!

Anna did a great job caring for my dogs and my home. I have very specific instructions for caring for my dogs being that one is elderly and on meds and the other dog requires a lot of attention. It seems as though they were happy and healthy when I returned and the house was kept just the way I left it. She contacted me with updates and pictures. She answered all my calls and text me back promptly on a daily basis. I would definitely have her care for my pets and home again in the future.
