“Katy went over the top taking care of our dog Jax. Jax is a very shy, skittish dog. She knew how to work with him, and was observant of his comfort level. Katy is professional, trustworthy, and kind!”
“Eleanor watched our two dogs for 10 days in our home while we were on vacation, and we felt very comfortable knowing that they were being well taken care of. We received picture updates, and her communication with us was when we checked in was quick and thorough. We sincerely appreciated that our dogs were in good hands with Eleanor.”
“Oliver came over for a meet/greet prior to staying in my home with my 2 chihuahuas which was very helpful. He took great care of my girls and sent lots of updates and pix. I highly recommend him for any time you need pet care!”
“Lydia provided excellent care for pup Rizzo. She is a great communicator and sent daily pictures. I highly recommend hiring Lydia to care for your pet. Thank you and we look forward to hiring you again!!”
About: Hi! I’m Andrea. I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all kinds. I’ve raised and loved Great Danes, golden retrievers, chihuahuas, and several cat breeds, so I’m comfortable with everything from big gentle giants to tiny divas. I’ve also personally pet sat for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including senior pets and animals with behavioral challenges. Whether your pup needs patience and structure or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for like family. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine! I’m free all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so I have plenty of time for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays. During the week, I get off work around 4:30 p.m. and can also stop by during my lunch break if needed. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own space. I stick to their usual routine, whether that’s a morning walk, cuddles on the couch, or just quiet company, and follow any instructions you leave to a T. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for mine, and I’ll always keep you in the loop with sweet updates and photos. My goal is to make things as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets while you’re away!
“Ella was fantastic. She is very respectful and a very loving dogsitter. There is nothing I can think of that could have been better. She provided constant updates, pictures, and videos that showed how happy our dog was during his time with her. We can’t wait to have her watch our dog again.”
About: I've had a lot of experience watching dogs and cats for many family members and friends. I also have experience working at an animal shelter for many months. I'm confident in my abilities to handle any kind of temperament and create a comfortable environment for every pet! When I have done drop-in visits for pet sitting, I like to do up to three visits each day. Morning, early afternoon, and evening are the times I typically try to check in. With each visit, I follow their food schedule, take dogs for potty breaks (and/or check cat litter boxes), spend a good amount of time playing with each pet, and cleaning up before leaving. At a client's home, if there isn't a yard for their dog(s) and they need time outside, I typically map out a trail for walking/potty breaks. Before taking any action, I like to ask the owner's preference on their pets' comfortability in where they walk or spend their time.
“Teresa was a wonderful house/pet sitter. She took great care of our 12-year-old, golden retriever and was so wonderful in understanding his different needs, especially given he is an older dog. Our dog responded so well to her during the meet-and-greet visit. She truly is a dog lover. Teresa was very communicative both before her stay and during her stay at our home. She sent daily pictures and updates and left our home exceptionally clean. It was a wonderful experience working with Teresa. This was our first time using Rover, and we have never had a pet sitter outside of family. Teresa made our first experience with Rover a great one.”
“Autumn did a great job house/dog sitting for my Louie. Things did not go exactly as planned, like sometimes happens with dogs, but Autumn did not get upset or excited and everything worked out just great. Thanks Autumn!”
About: My current crew: a sweet dog, two cats, and a 22-year-old ball python I’ve had since grade school. I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents*, and reptiles*, and I provide gentle, attentive care for animals of all kinds. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can offer a consistent, calm presence. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs * Hosting female dogs tends to be the best fit for our home and routines in this season, so for now, I’m only accepting female pups. Thanks for your understanding—I’m excited to meet your girl! I have an old-time Scotch Collie, age four. She’s a well-trained, responsive, dog-friendly pup—if your dog enjoys playtime, mine will be thrilled. If your dog is older or more reserved, I have an open-concept/split level house that I gate off to provide different spaces for dogs to decompress or have their own, dedicated area while still being a part of the family. I live just off a bike path and walk or run daily with my collie. I’m happy to meet whatever cadence of walks your dog prefers. I also have a fenced off area where I offer potty breaks or I will walk them around our 1 acre property. Your dog won’t scare my cats—in fact, they may become friends. My two long-haired cats are incredibly mellow. In past dog-sitting experiences, they’ve remained totally unbothered by barking, sniffing, or attention-seeking dogs. They’re actually so mellow and I don’t know why, they’re just weird. When a new animal arrives, they’ll investigate, decide whether it’s worth their attention, and then go take a nap. ⸻ 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will provide a private room in the house, complete with their own litter box and space to climb, lounge, and settle in. I don’t believe in forcing intermingling with my resident pets—I want your cat to feel safe and relaxed. I will check in regularly for play, attention, and cuddles on their terms. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had six pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals—smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!) I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. ⸻ 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 22-year-old ball python), I’ve also cared for a variety of lizards and feeder animals. From bearded dragons to leopard and crested geckos, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve even ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too! While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey animals if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m home throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my routine. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule—whether that’s medication timing, playtime, or feeding routines. Animals are a natural part of our daily rhythm here, and I love incorporating their care into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, animals are never left unsupervised with each other until we know everyone is comfortable. New pets are introduced slowly and calmly, with plenty of space to decompress. Sometimes personalities don’t click, in which case we easily keep them apart so that everyone is happy. I follow your pet’s routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, medication, or exercise—and I’m always happy to check in with updates. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’ll keep your pet’s world feeling familiar and low-stress until you’re home again.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have two of my very own, Stormy a petite bernedoodle and Stella our cockapoo who will be around during visits.

I have a pretty flexible schedule, am usually home every day and can make sure I am home the days I have your pup! I never leave my own dogs alone for more than a couple of hours. Communicate with me your needs and I will be happy to help! We have two of our own small doodles. We love to go out for walks, play, and snuggle on the couch. Let me know anything specific you would like for your pet!

Andrea O.
“Andrea had taken care of my Great Dane, Laila many times. It's obvious she loves dogs! She was so good with Laila, very loving, caring and on top of all the special care that she needed. Laila was a beautiful black Great Dane. Unfortunately, Laila ended up with some behavioral issues and I was very concerned that I would not find someone that I could trust as she needed a firm, yet loving, patient and kind caregiver when I was not around. Andrea came through and fulfilled all that we needed! Andrea gave her that special attention, took her on walks, laid with her; Laila loved to cuddle. Andrea texted me often with updates, sent pictures and video clips of Laila having fun or sleeping. Andrea walked her often for me, dog sat for up to a week at a time, in my home, and even messaged me to ask how she was doing when a few weeks passed without seeing her. I could rely on her in a pinch if I needed help with Laila. I completely trusted Andrea in my home, with my beautiful Dane and to be responsive when I messaged her. When Laila passed, Andrea was very supportive. I highly recommend Andrea for walking your dogs, weekend and weeklong sitting.”

“Ella was fantastic. She is very respectful and a very loving dogsitter. There is nothing I can think of that could have been better. She provided constant updates, pictures, and videos that showed how happy our dog was during his time with her. We can’t wait to have her watch our dog again.”
Sarah B.
“Sarah is a truly exceptional pet sitter. She’s incredibly patient and attentive with my stubborn (and very silly) shiba inu, Mochi, and always goes the extra mile to make sure he’s happy and well cared for. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he's in such kind and capable hands. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

We'll definitely use her again.”

Sidney M.Star Sitter
“You’d be lucky to have her care for your dog. She is the best if your dog needs exercise not just a walk to “walk”. I’ve had her take care of my Lulu many many times and she is always so excited to see her wagging her tail and talking up a storm. She is so loving and very careful to give the best care and not over feed either. I recommend her 100%. My dog cannot bark enough about her. She jumps up for joy whenever she gets to be with her and loves to cuddle on her lap.”

Lauren is absolutely fantastic! Our dog Harvey had the best time with her - including a field trip to get a pup cup! In addition to taking great care of Harvey, she was so respectful and thoughtful when it came to staying at our home. Would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for great care for their pup!!
Julie and Rick are amazing dog sitters. They have watched a miniGolden puppy, mid aged high energy Border Collie/Springer mix, and a geriatric 13 yr. old Springer for me. They sent pictures and kept the owners up to date on feeding, walks, sleeping. It was very comforting to know and see what they fur companions were doing while we were gone!
Hi, we have used Serena a handful of times. She is one of our trusted few…. She has great communication, sends this crazy dog mom all the pictures while I’m away. Takes our sweet girl on walks and is always on top of her medication. Along with that she is always willing to help and stay if we run into an emergency, we got stuck in another city for a couple days and she did not hesitate to help us out. She is wonderful and is so trusted and appreciated!
