“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”


“Alison is fantastic! Her energy is so warm which was exactly what we needed for our anxious Maltipoo! She’s super communicative and sent pictures while we were away and she is exactly who you can trust your fur baby with! We will definitely continue to work with Alison!”


“It was our first time getting a sitter to stay in our home and care for our 3 dogs for 2 days and Kathryn did not dissapoint. She was very attentive, sweet, patient, and understood all the directions on what to do for our 3 fur babies since they all have different eating habits and personalities. She made sure she texted me throughout her stay if she had any questions and sent us plenty of pics to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home too. Her price is completely reasonable and I felt like the kids were in good hands with her. I would ask for her help again in the future and I definitely recommend.”


“I can’t thank Brianna enough for the amazing care she gave to both my pup Gigi and my home while I was out of the country. From our initial meet and greet, Brianna was sweet, pleasant, and radiated an aura of calm and kindness that instantly put me at ease. I just knew Gigi would be in safe, loving hands—and I was absolutely right. Throughout my time away, Brianna kept me fully updated with all the photos and videos I requested, which gave me so much comfort. It truly warmed my heart to see how well Gigi was being loved and cared for. Brianna went above and beyond, not only with Gigi but with my apartment as well—everything was left clean and tidy, which I so appreciated. Brianna, thank you for treating my baby like your own. You’re truly one of the best out there, and I’m already looking forward to booking you again the next time I’m away!”

“NO NEED TO LOOK ANY FURTHER !! We went on vacation for ten days and this is the first time we had a pet sitter stay in our home. We contacted Hunter and he came to our house to conduct a meet and greet with us and our two fur babies. They were immediately comfortable with Hunter. You would have thought they have known Hunter for years based on the interaction. Hunter is a very kind/compassionate/caring and very responsible. Hunter sent us pictures twice a day and always answered our text messages within minutes. He is very respectful of your property and makes certain when you return your house is impeccable. Hunter will love and care for your pets like they were is own. There is no doubt we will contact Hunter when we vacation again. You will definitely enjoy your vacation knowing Hunter is caring for your best friends. Thank You Hunter! You’re the BEST !!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years providing me with a diverse range of experience with dogs of varying temperaments, including anxious and reactive dogs. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate towards taking care of your pet(s)! I am currently available Monday - Friday for walks and am able to fit most requests in due to working a remote schedule. In my client's home, I am to replicate the pet's home environment as closely as possible. I respect the owner's rules and preferences for their pets, following any specific instructions they provide. If a client wishes, I can provide regular updates to the owner including messages, photos, and videos to keep them well-informed about their pet's well-being. Ultimately, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of the pets I care for, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their owners.

About: My pet care journey began at age 12, when I started dog sitting for my aunt while she was out of town. From then on, I knew caring for animals was something I genuinely enjoyed. I don’t just walk dogs or feed cats—I build real connections with every animal I care for. My approach is rooted in patience, attentiveness, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe and loved while their people are away. I also prioritize communication with pet parents—daily updates, photos, and check-ins are always part of the package. I currently have a sweet gray cat named Nala, but I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs—and I can’t wait to share my care and attention with more of them! Whether you need daily walks or extended stays, my open availability makes planning easy and stress-free. I am available for both last-minute bookings and regular care routines. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that both your pet and home are in good hands. I always follow any instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and provide regular updates—so you’re never left wondering how things are going. You can trust that your furry family member—and your home—will be treated with care, professionalism, and integrity.

About: I have loved pets since I was a kid. I was obsessed with learning about them. After my first pet died, I was very motivated on learning about how to offer pets the very best life, and this comes through research! I have worked with a variety of animals. Working at PetSmart allowed me to get a better hands on experience as it opened a door to working with cats, sick animals who needed medication, and working with large numbers of pets. This also helped me see what methods worked and what methods to avoid when taking care of our beloved pets. I have a very flexible schedule and will be available for you and your pets. I don’t have a set schedule yet due to work and school. Safety is my top priority. You know your pet best, I will work with what I have and incorporate new techniques and ideas once your pet trusts me. I have a porch that is safe meanwhile my garage is being built at the moment.

Gage Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amazing experience! Emily was thoughtful and kind with by dog, I especially enjoyed the numerous updates I’d get daily. It was so nice to not be worried while being away, knowing things were being handled so well at home. She was communicative, and left the house in better shape than she found it!

Khia was amazing! She took such great care of my girl Isla Mae while I was away—no easy task since Isla isn’t exactly used to me being gone. But Khia handled it like a total champ. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house just as I left it (which is all I could ask for!). It’s not easy trusting someone with both your fur baby and your home, but Khia made it a completely stress-free experience. Would absolutely book her again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Cats Loved Simiao — So Did We! Simiao was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of our three cats — Molly, Zukie, and Ruzzi — while we were away. From the start, her communication was excellent. She kept us updated daily with messages and sent tons of adorable pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Not only were our cats clearly happy and well-cared for, but the house was also spotless when we returned. Simiao went above and beyond in every way — we feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our two dogs received while we were away! Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure they were well-loved, exercised, and comfortable. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We received regular updates and photos, which made our time away even more enjoyable. When we returned, our dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly had a great time! We will definitely be booking again in the future!

Perla did a great job taking care of both our dog and foster dog on Thanksgiving! Our foster Belle had surgery the day before the sitting, and Perla was fantastic with her, following all post-op directions. She sent pics throughout the stay and gave frequent updates. We came home to two very happy and healthy pups :) I’ll definitely be asking Perla to housesit for us again!
