“Mason was wonderful! He came over for a pre-meet and was very polite and was happy to do what we asked. BUT he went above and beyond walking the dogs, playing bubbles. Great communicator. Sent pics and videos. Had a small emergency and he handled it beautifully! So happy we found him!!!!”
“Abbey was great to watch our house and dogs. Would definitely recommend her, and will gladly use her again. She spent a lot of time with them and they were very comfortable around her.”
“Sterling did a great job, sent us videos and handled our two dogs exactly as needed. Very open communication and dogs were very happy and well taken care of. Would recommend.”
“Mallory did an excellent job ensuring our house and pup were well cared for. She was super reliable and responsive and asked questions if she wasn't clear on something. Strongly recommend her!”
About: I have had many dogs and a cat for almost all of my life. Taking care of pets was the first skill I was taught growing up! I have plenty of time to take care of pets since I am home from college. My hours are very flexible and I’m open to anything! I am super reliable and will make sure that your pet is fully taken care of. You will have no doubt that they are in safe hands!!
“Absolutely wonderful experience and would rebook a million times over. She went an above and beyond with my grew!! I didn’t have service most of my trip but anytime it would come through I would have an update or two with how everyone was doing. Could not recommend more. Takes care of your pets like they are her own.”
“Stephanie was absolutely incredible. She was very communicative, she made sure to update us with pictures and videos daily (for 2 weeks!) and Albus was so sad to leave her. She made sure things were as close to home with her as possible. She welcomed my detailed, type-A notes and schedule. She went out of her way to coordinate a drop off to get him back home. I feel so good knowing that we found someone kind and reliable for our pet. I would highly recommend her and I plan to use her again in future.”
“Isabelle did a really wonderful job house sitting and taking care of our pooch. We appreciated how much time she spent with Ruby during the day and would love to have her services again in the future!”
“Nickali was fantastic with the dogs. We had never left them with someone before. The dogs were happy to see us, but were just as content with Nickali. It was a huge relief. The fact that he sent us pictures also helped. We will use him again.”
About: I have been around pets my entire life, so taking care of animals comes easy to me! I am experienced at both house sitting and home visits. I have taken care of kittens and senior animals, ensuring they always feel safe and happy. I am a full time college student looking for work over summer break, giving me plenty of time to help out! You can trust that I am efficient when it comes to taking care of your pets. I have plenty of tools to take your fur babies on a day of fun! With both a pet stroller and leashes, I can ensure cats and dogs get some nice fresh air.
“Olivia was an amazing sitting for our dog! She sent many updates, spent quality time with her, and took great care of our house. I would definitely recommend her to others and plan to use her for future sitting needs!”
“Diane was great and we are grateful for her. She took excellent care of our girl Ruby and communicated well providing frequent updates. We will definitely request her to watch our Ruby in the future.”
“Taylor was very loving towards my girls and communicated very well while she stayed with my girls! 3 dogs can be overwhelming but she embraced it and I came home to happy girls after my trip!”
“Ramona was a wonderful sitter for our two pups. She is extremely responsive and communicates frequently. We felt very comfortable having her in our home while we were away and our dogs fell in love with her. She sent lots of photos and videos of our pups and actively played with them in the house and our backyard. Ramona truly made sure they were cared for when we had a family emergency and had to leave the state quickly. I absolutely recommend her if you need someone trust worthy and honest!”
“Abe was great with our dog Alfie, we were searching the day before our trip because our sitter cancelled, and Abe responded quickly and showed up the next day! He hired him for a week and each day he was responsive (gave us updates and photos of Alfie) and gave our dog fun things to do. He even taught our highs-energy dog commands! Would recommend Abe for watching your dog.”
About: Hi, I’m Amaya! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and truly love caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I love teaching them tricks, going on walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I also have years of experience working at a pet boarding facility and volunteering at our local animal shelter, so I’m confident handling dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, or structured care, your pets will be treated like family with me! I work part-time at a restaurant, so my shifts aren’t the same every week. But no worries—I update my Rover calendar regularly, and I’m great at swapping shifts last-minute if I can. Just let me know your dates and I’ll make room for your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently live with three cats and three dogs, so I don’t offer boarding or in-home pet care at this time to ensure a calm, controlled environment for everyone. However, I’m more than happy to provide drop-in visits and walks, and I take great care to follow your instructions, routines, and preferences exactly as you leave them. I always treat pets and their spaces with the same respect I give my own. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break or taking your pup for a walk, I’m committed to creating a safe, loving experience every time.

Lark is so compassionate and caring towards us, and our cat, Maple. We received many updates on how she was doing and Made Maple feel safe and loved. Lark ease our mind while we took our first family vacation! Lark was so attentive, she took care of our plants and mail, not to mention the garbage, too. Lark is the only person I’d trust with our ball of fur. We loved having Lark take good care of Maple!! She’s such a blessing!
Mallory always shows up and is great at communication while we are out of town. One of our pups is not great at meeting new people but Mallory knew exactly how to meet her and now they are best friends. I was nervous to use a sitter who wasn’t family, but Mallory has taken great care of our dogs and cat and I’m never worried when we are away.
