“Jillian is amazing! She watched five of our fur-kids, three dogs and two cats, for the week. She sent lots of photos and comments each day. The chiwinnie has a lot of the dachshund attitude and our male cavalier is extremely vocal. Those two are not easy and she handled them beautifully. She is trustworthy, caring and professional. She made going on vacation easy. Thanks Jillian 😊.”


“McKinnon took great care of our pup. She kept in touch with us and sent us photos (which we love and so appreciate), and Frasier was obviously well cared for and happy while we were away. Thanks so much, McKinnon!!”

“Cathy is an absolute gem. From the first meeting with her we knew she would be a perfect fit for our girls. Her love for animals truly shows through when she takes care of Bella and Mia. Being Italian Greyhounds, they can be a bit on the quirky side, but she took it in stride. Her updates and pictures through out the day are above par for any sitter we have had. Looking forward to having Cathy house sit for us again soon.”


About: We love dogs! I have had dogs all of my life and have been dog sitting "officially" as well for the past 3 years. Leave your baby in loving, caring hands while you are away. They will get all of the love and attention that you would give them if you were home!
“Liz was awesome! Our fur babies loved her! She sent several pics even though she stayed 1 night. When we got home, everything was nice and neat. We highly recommend Liz and would definitely use her again!”

“Matthew responded very quickly and accepted house sitting with very short notice. Even made extra effort to meet a friend to be introduced to our dog. He was very commicative and took good care of our boy.”

“Taylor was amazing!!! This was our first time having someone stay with our dog while we were away and Taylor made us feel so comfortable!!! She took great care of our dog and our house while we were away!!! We would 100% recommend her!!!”

“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”

“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”

I would love to help take care of your fur babies! I do have some experience administering medication to cats and dogs. If your pet has special needs please let me know how to best care for them!

For visits in your home or for dog walking, your pets are my main priority. You can rest assured that I will care for your babies and your home as my own.
“Avary did a great job watching over our pets while we were out of town for about a week. Her communication was prompt, she sent lots of pics of our cat and dog, and we look forward to using her again for our pet/house sitting needs in the future!”

“Veronica an outstanding house sitter for us and our 3 goldens. She took great care of our home and "kids" while we were away with great communication and check ins all the way. She left our home as she had found it, and I will not hesitate to hire her again.”

Free Home pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with Virginia. She is kind, caring and a great communicator. Our dogs loved the playtime, walks and the extra time she spent with them and we have pictures to prove it! When we returned home they were calm and happy. We look forward to seeing Virginia again!
