“Andrea did an amazing job with our big goofballs! The updates were much appreciated as we had never left them with someone else before and she obviously did a lot of work to make them comfortable (even though it was not easy at first). Thank you Andrea!!”
“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”

“Kayla took care of my babies while we were away for a few days and she did an amazing job!! I felt completely at ease while we were away. Kayla kept me updated and sent pictures. We can’t recommend her enough and we will absolutely book Kayla again!!”
About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats all my life. Along with caring for my own animals I have had friends, neighbors, and coworkers trust me to care for theirs while they have been out of town or worked long hours. I love every animal like they are my own. I have trained my own dogs from young pups to include house-breaking, safe socialization, and obeying simple commands. I am also a registered nurse so you can trust I can take on any requested medical needs of your pet as well. Pet care is part of my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own. Also, I am currently taking a break from my usual career in healthcare/ nursing, so my schedule is extremely flexible to care for others' pets as well. I adjust styles of pet care based off owner preference. I like to stick with what the owner does, to not break the animal's routine while the owner is away. I can guarantee your dog will get plenty of attention and exercise! My dog, Sierra, is well behaved and well socialized, and will make a wonderful playmate for other dogs of varying temperaments.
“Elsha always goes above and beyond for my pets and takes such great care of them! And she always updates with how they are doing and pictures which is amazing! I would recommend Elsha to anyone needing their pets taken care of!”
“Amya was incredible. Very reliable. Sent pictures and updates regularly. We just moved here, and my dogs haven’t had a new dog sitter for a long time, so we were a bit nervous about having someone new, but Amya was awesome. Would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thanks again, Amya!”
“Cami was attentive and followed all the care instructions for my two doggos! She was also very patient and understanding with me having to throw a couple last minute adjustments to the sitting window when my travel plans got very delayed. The house looked great but more so I can tell my two doggos were well taken care of!”
“Mark was awesome! He went above and beyond in caring for our boys. I would definitely recommend his services and would be happy to book with him again.”
“Cara did an amazing job taking care of our four animals! You can tell she truly loves animals and spent a lot of time with them while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, and we came home to very happy and well-cared-for pets. On top of that, she left our house in great shape. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“I don't even know where to begin with stating how happy I am with Ariel house sitting our dogs and geckos. First of all, she was very understanding and offered a refunded day without me asking when our flight was cancelled and we lost a day off our trip. Second of all, her communication is excellent. I am usually nervous about leaving my babies behind for a long trip but that was definitely not the case with Ariel- she even called right before our trip to touch base on final details. We received multiple updates and videos of the pets every day and honestly I felt like I was chatting with a good friend during my text updates :) Ariel will always be our first choice for house sitting!”
About: I have almost always had pets in the home, ever since I was very young, ranging from small hamsters, fish, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs alike. I currently have three animals—a twelve year old orange tabby cat, a ten year old gray long-haired cat, and a seven year old Great Dane/Saint Bernard “tripaws” dog. I’ve raised all three since they were kittens and a puppy. I love all animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with oral and injectable medications, as my old man cat is diabetic. I’m currently an online college student studying to become a teacher, so I currently have a lot of free time, especially during the summers. During the school year, I have availability on the weekends. When caring for others animals, I make sure to give them the attention that they need and care for them as if I was their owner. I would provide timely updates to owners so that they are assured their pets are being taken care of.
“Trista was wonderful! Our puppies loved her! She gave us updates and photos almost daily. She even went above and beyond and swept up the floors and left us. We will definitely use her next time we need a sitter!”
“Marci was so great! She took our weekend booking with less than 48 hours notice after having two other Rover sitters cancel on us. She even made sure to come out for a meet and greet. She was very friendly and learned the routines of our four dogs easily. She assured us that everything would be taken care of while we were away camping with limited cell service and she was right! Our dogs all loved her as soon as they met her! She was watching our home and dogs alongside a friend of hers and they both did fantastic. We came home to the dogs being brushed and a clean house. Marci and her friend were no doubt a gift to us. Thank you thank you thank you!”
About: I have 2 dogs that keep me busy. I’ve had my oldest for 4 years and my little one for 1. I would love to meet yours! I can walk, feed, and play if that’s what your looking for. I currently am a full time employee I work 7:30 am to 4 pm. I can see your dogs or cats before and after work. I have all day free availability on weekends since I have those off. Military access also. I have a fenced yard with 6 foot fences and my two dogs have a dog door that they go in and out whenever they please.
“Eliana (June) cared for my two energetic and playful dogs while I was out of town for 4-5 days. She stepped in last minute as my sitter plans fell through. She was fabulous and sent lots of photos. Will absolutely hire her again.”

Jennifer H.
“Jen has been my cat sitter numerous times. She's been able to handle Grendel who was old, cranky, loved to find plastic to eat, and occasionally bit out of spite as well as Lilandra who gets herself trapped in cabinets and over eats. Jen is great with cleaning up after them, making sure they didn't hurt themselves, playing with them, and giving them love.”

She would be a great fit for this role, as I personally have 3 dogs and a cat, and she is very loving and caring with them. She is accountable and responsible, as is evident in her ability to use insight and logic in a very instinctive way. She is a straight A student type and excels in technical disciplines also.”
