“Start to finish, Laurie was wonderful to work with; great communicator plus attentive, kind, and patient with my spunky pup (& he’s a handful!) Highly recommend for dependable, no-stress caretaking.”

“We appreciated Nicole’s attentiveness with our pups, updates and photos, and knew our dogs were so well cared for while we were gone for Thanksgiving.”

“Andrea is a great house/dogsitter. I booked her for the first time last weekend. She was very responsive and we had a very constructive meet and greet, during which she asked many questions and took copious notes. Andrea reached out to me—without prompting—before she arrived the day of her sitting, to confirm she was coming and what time she’d be there, which placed me at ease. During her stay, Andrea gave me appropriate status checks, including when she left. She left the house in great shape. I would definitely recommend Andrea for house sitting and intend to use her again soon.”

“Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Orianne was amazing with our girl Brandy. She took the time to work through Brandy’s anxiety and was so patient and understanding along the way. It’s hard to come across sitters that pay attention to every little detail, but Orianne is beyond detailed oriented. Will definitely be booking her again without hesitation.”

“Brianna did a fantastic job of sitting with my crazy pups! One of them can be fear aggressive (bluffs a lot) and Brianna was great with her. So great I got a picture of them cuddling on the sofa the first day! The other pup is super people shy and warmed to Brianna immediately. When she didn't want to eat (which I warned about), Brianna reached out immediately for ideas on how to get her to eat. She didn't wait! I really appreciated that. I gave her a couple of suggestions and she got her to eat! Brianna is fearless and conscientious. She clearly loves pet sitting. I highly recommend her!”

“Rosie did a fantastic job watching our dog, Janie, for a couple of hours! She was punctual, friendly, and made us feel confident that Janie was in great hands. When we got home, Janie was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated Rosie’s attentiveness and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. We’d absolutely book with Rosie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Claudia was amazing as usual! She was amazingly flexible with an extended, weird sitting schedule and my pup always seems happy and well cared for on my return. Book with confidence!”

“We would highly recommend Katie to stay with your pet! Our dog, Karma, immediately liked her. Her communication is wonderful! We got daily updates and pictures. Plus, when our travel home was delayed Katie was very helpful and stayed longer than we had originally talked about.”

“Christine was amazing! I was nervous with Mouse being a recent rescue but at our meet and greet she immediately put us both at ease. She had such a calming presence and handled him effortlessly even though I think he might be taller than her on his hind legs! She had no problem managing his reactivity on walks and him needing constant attention and her to be at the apartment the majority of the time. I could tell when I got back that she had been consistent with the training I was doing and he was progressing in it during her stay! Christine was also so flexible and helpful when my flight was cancelled and I struggled to get back because of the ice storm. She still got him out to play and took such great care of him. I can’t say enough how amazing she is! My only critique would be that she doesn’t charge enough for the exceptional level of service she provides! Thanks Christine! :)”

“Christina was incredibly responsive and showed our dogs lots of love while we were gone. One of our dogs doesn’t usually eat when we leave but Christina made her feel so comfortable that she ate all her meals. We received updates regularly while gone in addition to Christina making sure our home was taken care of. Highly recommend using Christina!”
About: I have been around pets my whole life. From cats, mice, dogs and fish I have been around most types of pets. I started walking dogs at 12 years old and since then have taken care of cats and other animals. I do work full time, but i am able to take care of 1-2 pets a day. Let me know what you needs are so that way your furbaby is taken care of! I love my pets with everything I've got and being able to relay that love for other people's pets while they are away is a joy. My background in the vet field has served me well and am very adjustable and trainable in your pets routine.
“We’ve used Rachel a few times for both dog walking and house sitting. Our two dogs absolutely love her! Rachel was great about sending us photos and updates on the dogs. It really made us feel that our dogs were in good hands and being well taken care of. Would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend.”

“Molly did such a lovely job with our Bailey! She was super communicative and on top of everything Bailey needed for the weekend. I’d absolutely book with her again!”


About: Hi, I'm Krystal! I love dogs and have cared for dogs before. I grew up with dogs and have always had them in the home with me, so I am accustomed to their needs and demeanor. I can also provide baths, light grooming, walks, and lots of play time. I do work remotely some days. I'll only put your dog in his cage unless you specifically request for me to. I also have surveillance cameras in my home, so I can see what your dog is doing at all times, even when I'm away from home! My dog, Bertrand, passed away at the age of 15 in 2023. While this was a very hard time for me, I realize that I have a lot of love to give to other dogs out there and can do so with your baby. I would love to care for your pets and show them love while you are away! I currently work remotely which allows me to provide a reasonable amount of supervision for your pup. I am available on the weekends as well. I care for pets by keeping a watchful eye on their behaviors and mannerisms. That way I can tailor my care giving approach to a level that is comfortable for the both of us.
“Jenna was great! It was our first time using Rover for a house sitter for our senior cat who can be very particular. She didn’t bat an eye at the three pages of notes I left. She was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent photos and videos to ease our anxieties about being away from our Ellie. We came home to a very happy kitty!”

Paige is an absolute animal whisper. My dog was so well taken care of by her. She sent constant photos and updates. Anchor is almost 140 pounds but Paige walks him like a pro. I trusted her completely in my home and with my dog. 🫶🏽 so thankful to have found Paige.

10/10 recommend Michaela for house sitting with a doggo! This was our first time having Michaela come stay at our home with our bernedoodle. She was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive to both our dog and us as we navigated leaving her at our home for the very first time. Her level of support allowed us to travel for my husband’s retirement celebration from the military. We couldn’t have done this without her!

Richard was wonderful to my menagerie - two dogs and a cat. He did a great job of communicating with me and sent some cute photos of my babies. I'm an anxious mom, and I felt very relaxed from day one because they were in good hands. In fact, I think they may miss Richard more than they missed me when I left!

Crystal was absolutely wonderful with Mickey! She was so sweet, kind, patient, and attentive with him. Communication was excellent throughout the stay—she always responded very quickly to my messages and kept me updated. Mickey can be a picky eater, and when he didn’t want to eat, Crystal was incredibly patient and went out of her way to help and make sure he was comfortable and eating. I also came home to a very clean and tidy apartment, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable knowing Mickey was in such caring hands. I would absolutely trust Crystal with him again and highly recommend her! ❤️

Wonderful experience with Tara on such short notice! She ended up housesitting for our Aussie Shep and made sure our good girl was well taken care of ... lots of fetching and chilling. She provided ample amount of both pictures and communication of how things were going. I could not ask for a better experience with a dogsitter! I highly recommend Tara!
Grace moved mountains to fulfill her commitment to care for our dog Rosie when she had some travel delays on a personal trip, which saved us from scrambling to fill the gap! So professional and Rosie always loves her time with her - lots of love and exercise and play.

Al was absolutely fantastic! We've hired him for a few walks before, but this was his first time house and dog sitting. He sent daily updates recapping everything that happened at home and on walks with our dog, and he included pictures for every step of the way. He went above and beyond taking her on longer walks when his schedule allowed, and he hit every part of her doggy routine. We were a bit nervous leaving our scaredy-cat dog with a new sitter, but he was wonderful. We will absolutely use him again!

A+++ Sitter We loved Gem. She sat for our Buster all weekend. And Buster is a challenge actually Buster and myself is a challenge both us are nervous. Buster has separation anxiety and I have it too. But Gem was calm and worked through both of our issues like a champ. I was very impressed and Buster ended up loving his Auntie Gem and we will be reaching out to her in the future if she will have us. 😉😄😄😄Thank you so much for all you did for us Gem. You were amazing!! ~Rachel Drew and Buster
