“Kim house sat for us for six days taking care of our one year old dog and two cats. We first met at a local park so she could meet our dog - a very high energy lab mix. Then she came to our house ahead of our leaving to learn our setup. We threw a lot of information at her and she was completely unfazed. Our pets took to her right away with no problems. We got daily updates including information about the playing, walking (dog!) and medicine our older cat needed. We could not have been more pleased with Kim. Great communicator. Great with the pets. We would definitely recommend.”

“Kaitlyn was an absolute life saver, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our 3 Pomeranians! Kaitlyn was able to watch our dogs all day while we were off getting married, and she made sure everything was perfect with the dogs and our home so we could fully relax and enjoy our special day without having to worry about our fur-babies. We HIGHLY recommend Kaitlyn as she's punctual, attentive, and the dogs LOVE her, which is obviously a great sign! We wish we could give more than 5 stars to represent just how great Kaitlyn is/was! We can't thank Kaitlyn enough, and we can't wait to have her spend time with our dogs again soon!”

“Bridget was great with Basil and super responsive. She even worked around a reschedule for a meet and greet which I really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay in my home again!”

“Lori and Daisy had a great time! Lori kept me informed while I was away with sweet photos and texts. My apartment was in great shape upon my arrival home. Bed linens washed and replaced, kitchen cleaned up and all dishes put away. I will definitely ask Lori to stay with Daisy in the future! 😊”

“Monica did a great job with our seven month old Great Dane. She cared for her while we were out of town for the week. We got regular updates, she remained in contact throughout the week, and provided great one on one time with our puppy.”

“Konnie was amazing! Our pup Ziggy loved her so much, she was fantastic with communication, and she took such good care of our baby and our home while we were away. We will definitely book with Konnie again!”

About: I foster for our local pet rescue and do well socializing pups and adult dogs who are child friendly. Avid walker with clean, comfortable home. I work from home daily so unless I’m at a client visit, you can expect 24/7 care. Can help over nights and weekends for traveling. I have a lead in the back yard for potty breaks, access to local metro park for long walks, stair gates and a pen for crating.
“Sarah proved immediately she was going to be reliable and an excellent communicator. Our pup hit it off immediately with her and upon returning home, we could tell she had been left in great hands. We appreciate Sarah and will absolutely book with her again!”

“Taevon stayed at our house for 23 days to watch our two German Shepherds, three chickens, and a very old kitty!! When Tae first came to meet our doggies, our typically reserved Shepherds literally ran to him to give him kisses and demand affection like they had just reunited with their very best friend. They loved him immediately and were so excited to meet him! We have never seen them act like this towards anyone, including people they know, and we immediately knew they were going to be so happy and beyond taken care of. We also have 3 chickens we are incredibly protective of and Tae made sure they are safe and keep up their daily routine. Add an old kitty to the mix who can be a bit of a bossy old man, and the extensive amount of time we were away- not many would be up for this challenge but Taevon did not hesitate to do it. We are incredibly grateful for his willingness to care for our babies and they were so happy and healthy. He is the sweetest and we have never felt more comfortable with anyone watching our babies than we did with him. For as long as he is willing, he will forever be our first choice to watch our home and our pets. We love our families but we would choose Tae over them for this- that's how comfortable and happy our animals and we felt with him. Have I mentioned that after us being gone for over 3 weeks we came back home to a clean house?! He is literally THE BEST!!!!”

“Chelsea did a great job caring for my dogs while I was out of town. She kept the house clean and even took care of our bearded dragon! We were kept updated with frequent pictures. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you, Chelsea!”

“Fabulous sitter, Ashley is such a gem! My pets adore her and after her stay in my home for the weekend, everything was in perfect order when I returned. I am so happy I found her! We will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

“Scott and Samantha are our go to sitters for our Italian Greyhound, Quincy! We have used them multiple times, and always come home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Quincy has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Scott and Samantha give him extra attention, care, and snuggles. We highly recommend them to help with any of your pets’ needs!”

“Thank you so much for staying with my girl while I was out of town! I couldn't be happier with how well my pup was cared for. She sent pictures regularly throughout the day and kept me informed of how my pup was doing. 100% would recommend to anyone for any critter.”

“Julie was awesome! She saved us from having to cancel our vacation. 2 days before our trip, our 60lb Boxer showed symptoms of kennel cough which meant we could not board him ?. With no back up plan, we were frantic to book someone to stay in our home overnight with our dog. After reaching out to a dozen or so people, Julie was prompt to respond and let us know about other obligations she committed to during those dates. We worked out a flexible schedule and did a meet and greet the same day. We booked her the same day! She was comfortable with our dog’s illness, medication and behavioral needs. She communicated daily about our dogs symptoms and assured us of any problems. Her Vet Tech background helped us relax on vacation. We were so lucky to find her and we will definitely use her in the future. Thank you again Julie for taking care of our pup!”

“Melissa was a joy to have stay and take care of our pet. Buddy loved her and all of the attention she was able to share with him. We will definitely use Melissa again if she is available.”

About: I have loved animals all my life and have been asked to watch family and friends pets on countless occasions. I believe in the importance of enrichment activities as well as the good ole belly rubs. Whatever the pet is in need of I am happy to help make their day brighter. I can’t wait to spread the love to more fur babies! I’m currently working full time but always have time for walks and playdates with your pets! Weekdays after 6:30 and weekends work the best but I am flexible! I have a2 year old Beagle Boston terrier who gets a few hours of physical activity and mental enrichment a day before winding down for snuggles and love. We spend time on training and puzzles as well as engaging walks.
About: I have cared for various dogs and love to learn their individual personalities. It is an absolute joy to learn what each dog prefers to do on their walks, how each one likes their food, as well as if a dog prefers babies/soft toys or is more of a bone gnawer/tugger. Walking with dogs at their pace is one of my favorite ways to explore outside! I am a nanny and love to help my community! Helping in the classroom, families at home, and caring for children (furry or human) is my passion. My schedule is flexible and I try to help as many people as I can with my days. I care for pets as I would want someone to care for my most precious thing (my pet). I love to send updates and photos of outings/visits so you can feel like you're part of the fun.
“We did not know Tara before our trip, and I was a little nervous about leaving our pets with someone new. But I didn’t need to be. She did a wonderful job taking care of our beloved dog, and our bunny, and kept us updated on how they were doing, as we had asked - which allowed me to relax and have a nice time away. I highly recommend her!”

Kylie takes such good care of my boys!! I love that she's able to stay at my house full time with them so their schedule isn't interrupted. They're always so calm and well rested when I get home. Kylie will always be my first choice of house/dog sitter when I'm on a work trip!

Bridget was absolutely amazing, kind, and loving with our anxious girl, Maple. We were nervous to leave Maple while we left the state to visit family, but with having Bridget caring for our dog, those fears were quickly squashed. She provided daily updates and pictures on how things were going, took her for walks, and treated Maple as if she were her own pet. She also took great care of our home, and left a care plan at the end of her stay to give us even more insight into what Maple's days looked like while we were gone. I will 100% be rebooking with Bridget in the future and am so grateful for her!

Melody is an incredible pet sitter and an overall wonderful human being. I wish our pets could talk so they could tell us how much they enjoy her company. From the daily pictures she sends us while we're away, it looks like they're having a blast! We're so grateful that we connected with Melody through Rover - we have the utmost trust and peace of mind knowing that our pets and our home are well cared for. She even brought them gifts to play with during her last stay!

Jake was the best! I was super nervous to leave my dogs for almost an entire week, especially because one of them has health issues and dog aggression. Jake did a great job reassuring me prior to and throughout my trip that my dogs were in the best of care. He gave regular updates, responded quickly, great communication, brought our mail in, and even left a note welcoming us home. Highly recommend!

Mackenzie always goes above and beyond to make time away from the pups easier. She takes great care of them, sends regular updates, and even makes sure everything is clean and better than she found it before I get home. She's my go-to pet care help, and for good reason - she's the best!

Kaitlyn watched my dog for a weekend. She was very attentive and quick to communicate. I have a dog with high energy and she was very understanding and quick to problem solve. I felt comfortable and trusting that she was taking care of my dog. She is very good about texting and updating with pictures. I would 100% rebook with her!!
