“Bethany took great care of our boys while we were out of town. She sent updates and pictures multiple times throughout her time dog/house sitting for us. We will def have her watch them again for our future vacations. Highly recommended to take care of your fur babies.”

“Katie was an excellent sitter! She took care of Wilson like it was her own dog. She gave daily updates and pictures and made sure he was happy. Highly recommend Katie for any pet sitting needs! We loved having her.”

“Excellent Dogsitter-watched our two dogs in our home. Very responsive and sent updates regarding the dogs while we were away. Made sure the dogs got plenty of exercise. Will be a repeat customer!”

About: I have been a passionate pet owner and caretaker since I was 9 years old. Growing up with dogs and now the owner of two cats, I learned early on how to understand their body language and fun personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a calm senior cat, I treat every animal like family. I currently work a full time job, but I only go into the office twice a week. I am available to work from your home if needed to provide company to your pet. I am also available for morning and evening feeding, as well as weekend visits too. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I strictly follow instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I send daily photo updates and messages through Rover to give owners peace of mind. I also respect the home by cleaning up after the pets, keeping the space tidy, and following all household rules.
“Brook was super helpful, picking up a house sitting request on only a few days notice. She made time for a meet and greet before hand and took great care of Lottie.”

“Cecilia is a great dogsitter! She’s very communicative, which helped me to feel at ease leaving my dog with her while I was gone. She followed all of the instructions I left and took great care of Murph and my apartment.”

“Christiane took wonderful care of our elder furbabies with all of their specific needs! My body, mind & soul appreciate having someone so responsible caring for our home & loves. It makes travel easier, thank you!!!”

About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. I’m generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and respect the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have my own two cats currently. My childhood dog had epilepsy and was on medicine multiple times a day and I was his caretaker to help my family with their work schedules. I give my kitties love first try big in the morning but before I leave I feed them and scoop the box. I make sure to play with them before bed so they have activity and get their energy out. I let my cats free roam while I’m away for the day but I grew up with a crate trained dog. I’ve pet sat for friends before who have restrictions where their pet goes and I’ve been able to follow their directions.
“Lucas was great sitting our three pups at home. He made certain they went out their normal ~4 times a day, he gave them their meds & food as directed, and communicated well with us during the entire stay. We greatly appreciate his time with them :-) and would book additional stays with him as they come up.”

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as i can remember! I grew up with both dogs and cats, and have also regularly cared for friends’ pets. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can genuinely trust. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific care instructions you leave for me. I will communicate as often as desired and send all the photo updates 😊 Pet care fits well into my daily routine since I work remotely and have flexibility within my day. I’ll always communicate clearly about timing and availability so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for. Most importantly, i want your pets to feel safe, comfortable and loved while their humans are gone. I’ll treat your home with the same respect id want someone to treat mine!
“Nina is extraordinary. Her dedication to my dog and her daily photos and messages made leaving my dog in her care much easier than ever. My latest trip was the longest I had ever left my dog in someone’s care and Nina put all my worries to rest. She took excellent care of Delilah and of our home. I couldn’t have asked for more. Even when my return flight was delayed she stayed with Delilah until I finally landed. Nina will now be our regular sitter whenever I travel. She is amazing! Thank you Nina!”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and other small animals. I used to pet-sit and house-sit in high school/college, and now I work from home full-time, so I have some flexibility to offer whatever services you may need! I have a 4-year-old Cavapoo named Ringo who I trained/potty-trained on my own. He's a super chill dog who gets along well with other dogs. I work from home full-time (9am-5pm), so I can stay at your home to house-sit/pet-sit if you prefer, or I can do drop-ins at any point during the morning/day/night. I live in an apartment, so I can't keep your pets at my home. But I have a car, so I can take them to the dog park or on walks—whatever you prefer!
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“We loved having Andrea stay with our 2 cats and dog while we were out of town. Andrea was very communicative and we could tell from all the pictures that they warmed up to Andrea very quickly. Thank you so much for a couple of stress free days!!”

“She was absolutely amazing with our dogs! They can definitely be a handful and she handled them so well! She follow are wants to a T! She was absolutely wonderful and I can’t get that through enough! Our dogs sat at the door after she left eating for her to come back in! We definitely will be seeing her again! She gave us updates and on such notice she was very willing to help us and meet us the day we found her on rover! I couldn’t thank her enough for everything she did for us! I wish I good give her a 1000/10 starts because I would!”

Crystal was absolutely fabulous; she went above and beyond to provide phenomenal care for our Golden. Crystal is conscientious, thorough, and very competent. She doted on Dawson throughout the days she stayed in our home, sent constant updates and photos and kept our very energetic pup entertained. Crystal was a very courteous house guest as well. I highly recommend Crystal .
Jody was phenomenal during her stay with Bella. Her communication was fantastic, and she was so sweet with Bella. Just before our trip, Bella had to start a bunch of medicines, and Jody handled the last-minute, complicated medicine and feeding schedule amazingly. Cannot recommend Jody enough!

SO greatful for Stella! She was incredibly communicative and reliable—our dog was so happy with her while we were away. A literal dream come true for my anxious-brain; Stella was the best pet sitter I’ve ever employed. We will be using her exclusively moving forward and highly recommend her to anyone searching for someone who truly cares about your animal and will allow you invaluable peace of mind while you’re away.

Hadley was amazing!! She went above and beyond helping me with Beau - she was willing to move her work schedule around to make sure Beau got his medication without any issues, she was super communicative and sent me pictures/updates daily, and took great care of my house! I typically leave Beau with family/friends but will definitely be rebooking with Hadley in the future if she is available, I cannot say enough great things!

Sara is amazing!! We were blown away by how involved & thorough she was while watching our dog. She sent great updates, got our dog out of the house and having fun (even a trip to the park!) and, bonus, left the house better than she found it. We returned to a happy dog, who looked like she had a blast while we were gone! I would recommend Sara in a heartbeat!
