“Yashelle did a great job with our pup Sydney. She was right on time, very polite and Sydney warmed up to her quickly. A nice quiet evening for them and Sydney seems so happy! Thank you!”

“Lauren is fantastic! She did such a great job watching our fur babies while we were out of town for a wedding. She asked great questions, was very communicative, and was all around a great pet sitter. Looking forward to booking her again for any future trips.”

“Amanda was our favorite dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was extremely communicative and sent updates everyday throughout the day without us having to ask. She also left our home in perfect condition, nice and clean. She’s also very friendly and reliable, we can tell our fur baby loved her! Would 100000% recommend Amanda to anyone and already looking forward to the next time we get to book her :)”

“Jeffrey was amazing with our 100lb American Akita for 15 days, constantly providing updates and pictures to ease my anxiety leaving my pet and home while out of the country! His experience with animals shines through in the way my Akita immediately fell in love with him. We would highly recommend him for your fur babies, and we look forward to booking with him again!”


About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life, having grown up with family dogs from age 13 through college. Since then, I’ve continued caring for pets by helping with my mother’s and sister’s dogs whenever needed. I also regularly care for my girlfriend’s cat and recently completed a week-long in-home cat sitting stay. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, sticking to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide regular photo and message updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away I work full-time during the weekdays and am in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am available for house sitting, walks, and drop-in visits any day of the week. For house sitting, I can be present in the mornings, evenings, and overnight, and I ensure pets are cared for before and after my work hours. For walks and drop-ins, I am available evenings, and weekends, and can accommodate consistent routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for both the pet and the home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any specific household rules. I make sure pets feel comfortable by keeping their routine as normal as possible and giving them attention based on their personality and needs. I also keep the home clean and organized and treat it with the same respect I would my own. For peace of mind, I stay communicative and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Brandon was fantastic. He is a great communicator and clearly gave my dogs lots of love and attention while we were away. I highly recommend Brandon for your pet care needs!”

“Katie was absolutely wonderful. She handled my two large rambunctious dogs like a pro and I got lots of pics while I was away, which were so comforting knowing they were in great hands. She even administered meds when one of them unexpectedly got an ear infection. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again when I need to travel again.”

Wilson watched our two dogs and our house while we were away. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous leaving them. However, Wilson did an excellent job from the Meet & Greet gaining our trust and the dogs. He sent updates throughout the week and even got our picky dog to eat her food. We would definitely recommend him and use him again in the future.

Felicia is the absolute BEST, a true professional in every sense of the word and officially our go-to pet sitter! She was wonderful with our sweet girl, Roxy. She meticulously followed our feeding and medication instructions (which can be a bit complicated) and showed Roxy so much genuine love. Her daily photo updates and status reports were amazing and completely put our anxieties at bay. Beyond being an incredible pet sitter, Felicia stayed in our house and took phenomenal care of it. Coming home to a clean, tidy house was an absolute treat and totally above and beyond. Felicia is a lovely, kind person who truly knows how to anticipate the needs of anxious pet parents. If you want a guaranteed home run who will care for your pet and your home just like you do, book Felicia!!! 12/10 will book her again AND SO SHOULD YOU!

Daniel stayed with our husky/mix for a week, and she had a wonderful time with him! He walked her 3 times a day, made sure she had her pills, and kept her company almost every minute! The house was clean and tidy when we came home. He was extremely conscientious and clearly loved dogs. We'll definitely be using him again.

Heli was a wonderful petsitter and was very communicative throughout our time away. She took great care of all of our pets and was very thoughtful and considerate of our home. We highly recommend her for anyone who has several pets that all require special consideration!

Nicole loves cats and you can tell. She gave Mr. Bingley sweet care and attention. She was very good about sending pictures and videos to let me know he was doing well while I was away. There was a stressful situation with the petsitter before her, and Nicole handled it all with grace, professionalism and assurance to me that all was well. That was greatly appreciated. Thanks very much Nicole for taking such good care of Mr. B.

We were happy to be able to have Mabelyn stay at our home to take care of our dog for the week we were gone. She communicated every day and sent us photos. In addition, she took great care in leaving our home as tidy and clean as when we left. We highly recommend Mabelyn as a house and dog/cat sitter.
