Emily and her husband were so nice and were perfect for my dog, Cassie. I got updates daily about her play and how she was doing along with pictures and videos. Their home is spacious, has a fenced in (good sized) backyard with lots of room for playtime! My girl did great with her dogs who were also very good hosts. I am already in talks with Emily about watching my girl again in a few months for our next trip. Highly recommend.

Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.

Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!

Martha was fantastic! This was my first time leaving my dogs over night and Martha made me feel at ease that they were having a great time. She sent me regular photos and videos and got back to me quickly every time I reached out. My dogs were at ease and happy to see me when I got there, but I could tell they felt at home with her and her husband!! Thank you so much.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

Natasha was a good communicator and sent pictures of our girl while we were away! She took our golden on walks and played with her. She also was a huge help to us by picking up and dropping off our golden when we had early/late flight times. She was a huge help and we felt great about leaving our Honey girl with Natasha!

We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! Aubrey took amazing care of our dogs and really went above and beyond. Our pups got plenty of walks, even special treats like pup cups, and we loved getting all the pictures and updates! It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely care about our dogs, and their setup is fantastic. Safe, comfortable, and perfect for keeping the dogs happy and active. We came home to very happy pups and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!

Erin was the perfect sitter for our puppy. She checked in with us while we were gone and it was easy to coordinate with her for the drop off/pick up. It was also nice knowing Erin would be home to watch our puppy, since this was the first time we'd left her for an extended period of time. Erin's kids and dog were an added bonus, since we knew Maggie would get plenty of attention and exercise. Maggie came home happy and tired, which we greatly appreciated. Would readily book with Erin again.

About: I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has unique needs and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can provide dependable pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I am a part time server and only have my schedule open for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for my serving job but don’t always work all 3 days. I can make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. I communicate regularly with owners and am committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean environment, provide plenty of supervision, and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!!

Ava did a phenomenal job caring for my two pups, Trooper & Shaiya. We scheduled a meet and greet the evening before boarding and Ava kindly came to my residence to meet the dogs and ensure everything would work well with her dog as well. My dogs are young (8 and 6 months), and have a lot of play energy. Ava did a great job caring for them and provided me with pictures/videos along the way. Given her success with this challenge, I'm highly confident she will take excellent care of your dog as well! 10/10 recommend!
