“Absolutely PERFECT. Sent pictures and updated when I asked with timely responses. Played and talked to my pups like I would which makes me so happy.”
“Sarah came and stayed with our girls who were well cared for! One of our pups has special needs and she handled those without an issue. Happy dog-parents and would have her watch them again :)”
“Lydia was excellent with Bruce. She was kind and attentive and clearly knows a lot about dogs in terms of behavior and temperament. I felt very comfortable leaving Bruce with her for the evening and based on the photo updates, it’s clear he had a great time as well! Thank you, Lydia.”
“Jennifer was great! She watched my three quirky pitty babies over the 4th of July weekend. Communication was great, lots of pictures and all the puppies looked to be having fun :) I would definitely book again and recommend to friends.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Gracie was absolutely amazing with our two pups! We were given updates and pictures all throughout the day and never had to worry about a thing when we were out of town. We have used this service a lot and haven’t had anyone that can hold a candle to how great Gracie was! Will definitely be calling her again in the future!”
“Hannah took great care of Otis and Bear and left the house spotless. Otis is a dog who requires lots of patience, and Hannah handled Otis and his unique needs without any problems or complaints. Thanks for everything!”
“Lauren is awesome! Very responsive, timely, and communicative and you can tell she truly cares about The pets she takes care of. Pepper was in great hands while I was gone. they even went for a run and long walk which my dog loves! My home was also extremely clean and tidy when I got back - I could hardly tell Lauren had stayed there! Thank you so much.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, while I have started caring for them more without guidance. I have had experience with injured/sick dogs. My childhood dogs had/have some problems getting around. As well as some injuries leading to low mobility. You might also pick me because of my attention to details, love for being punctual, and my overall pleasant demeanor. I currently work about 15-20 hours at an arcade, that usually falls on the weekends. I am also going to school currently, specifically for Early Childhood Education. One of the biggest things to do while caring for pets is watch emotions and the little signs that the pet might be upset in away. While that’s big, you also need to know their routines and what happens when. It is important to put the least amount of stress on the animal when their parent is gone.
“2nd time was a charm! Cloud enjoys having Victoria over and I could tell he was a very happy pup once I came back! Victoria was always super responsive and especially patient when it came to my phone being stolen while on vacation. My only form of communication was the rover app and Victoria was quick to help me out with what I needed! My home was VERY CLEAN when I got back and I really appreciate how honest, caring, and loving Victoria has been with Cloud! Thank you so much again! <3”
About: I am a huge animal lover and have had many dogs and cats throughout my life. I currently own a 3 year old Australian Shepherd and a calico kitty! I have plenty of experience with multiple dog breeds and I don't discriminate. I have experience taking dogs for walks, feeding them, giving medications, bathing them, cleaning up messes, and playing with them. I know how important it is for your pets to be well cared for, so I hope to provide the peace of mind of knowing your pets are happy and taken care of! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time available! I typically work 10-20 hours a week but will still be available on my work days for check-ins and walks! I do have my own dog, so if you request me for house-sitting please note I will either have to bring him with me, or I will not be able to stay full time as I'd have to go home to take care of him as well. I have plenty of experience with multiple types of dogs. I have been doing research on dog body language and understanding their cues so I will know how to listen to their boundaries to make them as comfortable as possible! I practice positive reinforcement training so if you have a stubborn dog, know I'll be able to handle them well!
“Laurie was so helpful even with a last minute request. She went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable including my dog with anxiety who was in a new place. Extremely grateful!”
“Emily was an extraordinary dog sitter! She went over and above to provide a comfortable and relaxing time for our two old dogs. We were constantly updated with cute pictures of them playing and came home to a squeaky clean house! We cannot say enough positive things about our experience.”
About: I have had multiple dogs growing up my whole life. I always pet sit my family's and friends's pets over vacation or just casual summertime work! I am a well trusted gal who just wants some extra pups to love on! This will help feed my dog obsession until I can adopt some more in the future! I just want to make sure your pets are taken as well of care as my own when you're away! I want you to feel comfortable that your pets are safe and happy with me. You'll be happy you chose me for sure, I know it! I love to run and play, and sometimes just snuggle. I know they need a lot of attention, and I am here to give it to them all they want! I am currently working as a mental health therapist. As I am on the search for my own pet that I'm allowed in my home, I am taking up some some work for pet walking and sitting over the weekends! I am pretty flexible during the week for drop ins and walks. I’m sure we can find something that works for your schedule! I currently do not offer in home pet sitting services as it is not allowed with my current apartment lease agreement. Hopefully in the future I can!
“Bridget was an excellent sitter, one of my dogs fell ill while I was away and she took such good care of her and kept in contact with me the entire time and put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond taking such great care of my dogs. Would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Jada did a great job watching Lucas for the weekend! She sent pictures and always responded quickly to texts. My house was just as I had left it and was very clean. I would definitely recommend Jada and will be using her again for my next trip away.”
“Erin was amazing!! She took great care of my dog and cat, my house, and is a very kind person. She sent daily updates and I was never worried about my “kids” while I was away. I highly recommend her and will definitely entrust her again in the future.”
“Excellent with our Zoey. On meet and greet, he took her for a walk with my boyfriend. This impressed us both because the extra time he took for us to get to know him and see how Zoey was with him. Definitely a call back. Thank you Sei.”

Savana did an excellent job taking care of our cat and dog while we were away! She was very attentive and communicative and we would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pets.
Samantha went above and beyond while caring for my puppy. My pup was unexpectedly sick hours before my trip but Samantha came to the rescue. It would’ve been difficult for me to change my plans. I feel she understood my situation and cared for my dog as if it were own dog. I highly recommend Samantha! She is an amazing pet sitter.
We have used Emily several times for house/pet sitting. She always goes above and beyond. I always trust my home and pets are loved and cared for while I’m away.
Gillian took good care of my dog for a long weekend. I appreciated all of the pupdates and pictures! I loved that she was able to introduce my dog to another dog in a safe way. She took him on early morning and evening walks to keep him safe from the heat wave we’ve been having. I came home to a happy guy! Thanks again!
Leila is amazing! She stayed with my pups while I was out of state and I felt so confident and relaxed knowing they were well taken care of. 10/10 recommend!
My boys were in very good hands with Shelby. My shy boy took very well to and was even a bit sad when she left. 10/10 ♥️
Sam was an incredible sitter, she was so great and dependable with both our dog and cat. Even when an issue arose unrelated to the animals, she was incredibly prompt to assist us. We recommend Sam to anyone with animals and we will be using her for all of our needs going forward. Thank you so much!
Carissa was absolutely the best ever. We had to go out state to my uncle's funeral. Upon last minute she did a meet and greet and then gave excellent care to our Bailey. Our home was tidy, just as we left it. Bedding was removed and put by laundry area. When we arrived home, Bailey certainly showed no signs of lack of attention. He was calm, rested, and well taken care of.
Richard is always great with our fur babies. He’s very patient, even when one of the babies is chaotically naughty :)
Erin was great! My fist time leaving Teddy alone so I was not sure what to expect but she is amazing. Have another trip coming up and it's great having someone to trust and take care of Teddy.
I had a great experience with Lydia! She sent regular updates and photos and was very responsive overall. She also didn’t hesitate to accept when I requested an additional day on the end of my trip and I really appreciate the flexibility. I came home to calm, happy dogs!
Ayanna was great with my dog George, and gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands while I was away!
Nicole was wonderful. She arrived on time and hung out with my cat. My cat also found a new friend in Nicole, which is new since she is skittish around new people. So that is always a win for me. Will definitely get Nicole to take care of my baby again.
Melissa was phenomenal! I have, for whatever reason, struggled to find dog sitters that can meet my expectations. Typically late, not following instruction, etc. especially because my dog calvin takes medications every 12 hours for seizures it is very important he gets those daily. Melissa did a great job reassuring me that my pups were well taken care of by notifying me twice a day and sending loads of pictures. I felt at ease the whole time. Thanks again, Melissa you truly are great! 😊
Sarah took great care of Yucca over the weekend. She sent daily updates and pictures and always responds to messages quickly. I felt at ease leaving Yucca in her care.
Lauren was a fabulous house sitter with our pups. We definitely will use her again if her schedule allows. She is kind, compassionate, responsive and mature.
Excellent with our Zoey. On meet and greet, he took her for a walk with my boyfriend. This impressed us both because the extra time he took for us to get to know him and see how Zoey was with him. Definitely a call back. Thank you Sei.
Victoria was fantastic! She went above and beyond and will definitely be using her again. I felt like my dogs and house were in great hands.
