“So glad to have found Gilda to housesit and take care of my 2 older and somewhat high maintenance dogs while I was away on vacation. She was very caring, conscientious, thoughtful, kind, and generous with her time. She gave medication for my oldest dog and was very patient with getting my picky eaters to eat their food. I highly recommend Gilda for pet and house sitting. She is wonderful!”

“Kristan did great watching our dog at our house for the weekend! Our dog is a little particular and requires lots of walks for her energy and Kristan was great meeting her needs. She gave her all the attention she needs and gave us updates. She also left our house all neat and clean! Definitely recommend her!”

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
“Abby was great as a house sitter for our dog and cat while we were away. She provided daily updates and pictures and the house was left in a spotless condition when we returned. Highly recommended”

“Malika was amazing. We had a couple hiccups while we were away with security system batteries and some mail and Malika was gracious enough to be a helping hand beyond the house-sitting/petsitting duties. She also had cleaned to make sure we came home to a comfortable home after our flight. Much appreciated! And the animals were happy too!”

“Sarah was communicative and easy to connect with. My house is probably cleaner than I left it and my dog had a great week doing all of his usual things--lots of outside time and couch hangs. Thanks, Sarah!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pups. She gave daily updates and pictures, very communicative, and we could tell our pups were well taken care of when we got home. Highly recommend her! We will definitely use her again.”

“Asia was fantastic with our pup, Remi. This was our first time using Rover and we could not be happier with our experience. Asia communicated with us leading up to and throughout our trip, when we got home our house was just as we left it and our dog was clearly not stressed at all. We’ve already booked with Asia for our next trip and will be using her services regularly!”

“Zoe was fabulous providing care for our two pups while we were out of town for the weekend. She was excellent in keeping in touch, sending pics, and checking in with care questions as needed. I’m so grateful for all her efforts. We will definitely rebook Zoe in the future!”

“Jasmine did a great job house sitting for our high energy dog while we were gone. Definitely put our mind at ease for the week and would for sure go back at Jasmine again!”

“This was my first time experiencing anyone watching over my kids, Kendall went above and beyond what I required, Kendall is very friendly and polite person who sent me pictures and video of my kids. Kendall went above by actually tidying up my house, in places I don't commonly keep clean. I came home to like new appliances she cleaned my washer and dryer. She vacuumed and steam moped my floors. I highly recommend Kendall, and if I choose to leave again, Kendall will definitely be my 1st choice.”


About: I’ve taken care of many animals for 4 years now. Cats, dogs, hedgehogs, fish etc. I enjoy taking care of animals and I would love to help take care of yours! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I have a flexible schedule and have no problem discussing what works best for the both of us. I will do my best to maintain a schedule for the pet and work with the client to see what makes the client and pet the most happy!
“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”

“We left our precious Pomeranian with Leah for eight days, and felt confident that our pup was in good hands. We were not wrong. Leah was conscientious and reliable, getting to know our pup more each day, and they felt totally comfortable with each other after a short time. Leah was responsible and followed all of our directions to a T. She stayed in our home and took fantastic care of the house as well as the dog. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter and highly recommend her services.”

“Leah was an exceptional sitter for my two dogs and cats. She was meticulous with her attention and care, and kept my home in great shape when I returned from a two week holiday. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Mary and Ray did an awesome job. I was more than impressed and able to relax on my trip knowing my pups were well taken care of. Mary sent me pictures/messages throughout the whole day keeping me updated on the pups while we were gone. Our house was just the way we left it before and even cleaner! Can’t thank them enough! We will definitely be re booking! Our dogs absolutely loved them.”

“Michelle did a great job. We really appreciated her assistance on such little notice for her. Diesel was very happy. Would strongly recommend Michelle to everyone. We will be using her again in the very near future!!!”

As always, Tammy took wonderful care of my two Norwegian forest cats who are admittedly high maintenance! Knowing Tammy is looking after my babies allows me to take a vacation a couple times a year without having to worry about them - they’re in such good hands! Thanks so much. See you in September.

Sure! Here’s a polished review you can use for Isabella: ⸻ We had a wonderful experience with Isabella caring for our golden retriever. She truly has a passion for animals and took the time to make our dog feel relaxed and comfortable. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated and gave our family peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after our dog again!
