“If there were 6 stars, I'd give them to Hollie. She is the epitome of conscientious, responsible, and caring. Our flight home was delayed and she even changed her plans so she could stay longer. Our shih tzu loves being with her - from a drop-in walk to a 3-night stay - and we're eager to have Hollie back as soon as our next need arises. I cannot recommend this sitter more highly.”
“Yena was fabulous with Bart! She did a great job communicating with us even when we were traveling in some more remote parts of the state. She shared great pictures of him and we came home to a tired and happy pup! We will definitely book with her again.”
“This is the 2nd time Ashley has dog/house sit for us. She takes such great care of our pups, especially our senior dog. She always goes above and beyond, leaving our home even cleaner and tidier than we left it!”
“we LOVE kendra!!! she is dependable and communicative and you can tell she really loves dogs. we feel completely comfortable leaving our overly energetic puppy and senior dog with her. she is even able to do their medications and eye drops! we use her multiple times a month and hope to continue to do so!”
“Erik was wonderful with our 2 dogs. He sent us daily pictures and maps of the walks. Our dogs were happy and very well cared for! Erik was also flexible and stayed an extra day which was an absolute life saver for us!! I highly recommend Erik without any reservations…and will be booking his services again when needed.”
“Stephanie was awesome! We were gone for two weeks and Stephanie stayed in our home and watched Haku. She sent us photos frequently and took great care of our home. We would recommend without hesitation. Thanks, Stephanie!”
“Samantha was incredible. Miura had an ear infection that required a trip to the vet while I was gone for a week, and Samantha was extremely communicative and helpful through the whole process. She took Miura to the vet, picked her up, and did all the ear drops necessary. Miura can be an anxious pup so I was worried about having someone else take her to the vet, but everything went super smoothly with Samantha taking her. I highly recommend Samantha as a sitter!”
“Robert was so good with both of our animals (a dog and a cat). He really took the time to get to know our dog, who can be a little prickly. But he wasn't phased at all and was totally willing to meet her where she was at. Robert sent almost daily pictures and within a couple of days he and my dog were already snuggled up in bed together, enjoying a nap. Both of my pets were happy and well taken care of when we got home.”
“Anny is such an incredible dog and house sitter. She takes such great care, and is great with communication the whole time. This is the second time Anny watched Bowie and the longest we've ever been apart from him. We would do it all again in a heartbeat! Thanks Anny!”
“We booked Michael to house sit for us and watch our sick puppy Apollo on NYE. Michael was very proactive in his communication and soliciting any instructions we had for Apollo. He kept us updated throughout the night with pictures and other updates about Apollo. He took great care of him and helped him be less scared of the fireworks! I would HIGHLY recommend Michael and will rebook him whenever we need a sitter for Apollo!”
“We came home to a tidy house and happy pets thanks to Cara. We appreciate her thoroughness and quick response whenever we had a question. Will definitely ask her back next time we go out of town.”
“Adela is fantastic! Adela follows all my instructions and cares for my dog (Bowie) as if he was her own. Adela stays overnight at my home and she is super respectful, clean and kind. Highly recommend!”
About: I deeply value earning and honoring your dog’s trust! I always want to let them feel warmed up and comfortable with me at their own pace, especially around more reactive dogs. And I take pride in giving the bestest pets! I grew up with my beloved dog, Romeo, for 14 years and was his primary carer for weeks at a time during the last couple years of his senior life. I hope to carry the same love, care, and recognition of their individual character through others too. Last year, I started housesitting and caring for other dogs (outside of family) for friends and clients through word-of-mouth. It’s been very exciting and fulfilling getting to meet and care for a bunch of different dog friends. I also currently live with my partner’s dog (she’s a chihuahua named Nala), so I’m rarely not around one. I work remotely and will be at home majority of the day. My schedule is pretty flexible so I can step away for walks, play, and pets. I respect the trust you have in me caring for your animal companion and for staying in your home. I know that it’s a lot to share something so personal and I don’t take it for granted. I’m flexible and can accommodate to any specific house rules or take care of simple house tasks while you’re away. I always want to leave your home clean and ready for your return.
About: I have experience in providing care to both cats and dogs of friends, family members, neighbors and colleagues. I can provide boarding, house sitting, or drop ins for cats. For dogs, I can provide house sitting and drop ins, but no boarding. I work from home, so I’m home all day most of the day. My workload is light enough that I can be present for fur babies under my care throughout the day. I like to chat with pet parents to learn about their personality and behaviors. I can provide feedings, changing water and litter boxes, playing with and entertaining, and giving lots of rubs and cuddles to your fur baby when they’re under my care.
“I had Esteban house sit to look after my big, rambunctious dog Sable for 6 days. Not only did Esteban take amazing care of my dog, he left the house in incredible condition. All my dog’s needs were met, and he sent regular pupdates. I’m a very anxious person and it was my first time using Rover, but Esteban put me at ease and I am so glad I decided to go with him. I would 100% use Esteban again if I ever leave town. I believe it’s safer and easier on my dog than boarding her at a dog hotel. You da man, Esteban!”
About: Hi! My name is Stephanie and I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. My love of animals has led me to initially start looking after family and friend's critters to wanting to help others as a way to care for their pets when they're busy or unable to. I have cared for both cats, dogs, even a pig, ranging from young to old. Currently, I provide daily check-ins to see how pets are doing. I also provide walks and play time so they get some engagement and aren't lonely while their owners are away on business or vacation or just busy with work. If you are looking for someone to help you with a walk, a check-in, or play time, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm currently unemployed so my schedule is mostly available. For drop-ins, I drop in once in the morning at 8:30am and once again in the evening at 6:30pm. For walks, they would be during middle of the day at around 1pm. When visiting a client's home, I would first check to make sure the animals are ok and that no destruction was made to the home. After that, I would make sure that they get lots of love and exercise so they know they're cared for.
“Nicole was fantastic! She took great care of Ivy, and I felt totally comfortable knowing that Ivy was in such good hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.”
“Charlii is an excellent pet caregiver! She has given lots of love and attention to my two dogs and one kitty while I’ve been on trips over the last few months. Her attention to detail in caring for my pets and my home while I’m gone is such a comfort. My furry family loves her! Charlii is awesome!”
“Angela was amazing! She offered to do a meet and greet before sitting, which was perfect for my dog who is a little wary of new people. I also got plenty of updates and pictures. And I was able to enjoy my time away worry free because she was in such good hands.”

Shayna is lovely! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her for a weekend trip. She was very attentive to my dog as well as very careful with the house. I NEVER leave my dog with anyone so this was a big deal for me. I'm so happy with their time together and would totally trust her to hang out with my dog again (hope that's soon)!
Anny/Lucy was fantastic with Benji. She arrived early so we could go over Benji's schedule. She sent us updates, photos and videos and responded to our text messages in a timely manner. We came home to a happy, well taken care of pup! Thanks again Lucy! Looking forward to working with you again!
Six stars, if that would be possible! Dennis took excellent care of our greyhound and house. He was fast and clear in his communications, on time, and didn't mind accommodating our dogs little quirks. We left our house knowing that our girl would be in very good hands and returned to a happy dog!
Jessica was so wonderful with our dog! This was our first time leaving our sweet puppo with a stranger and we were nervous. Jessica made us feel so reassured and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for and loved. She was super communicative, prompt, and was amazing at sending sweet updates and photos. She even came home early from a dinner when she found out our dog was barking. She did a great job communicating with our neighbors and family members at home since we were out of the country and I was incredibly impressed by her professionalism and timeliness. I would HIGHLY recommend her and look forward to her spending time with our dog again next time we go out of town!
Our pets had a great time! Camphuong took great care of our pets and made sure they all felt happy and safe, even taking doggo to the park for extra play time with other pups. She went above and beyond and communicated every day while we were on our extended vacation, even going so far as to restock doggos food when we miscalculated and ran out! Definitely would book again!
Hollie was great to have as a pet sitter. Communications excellent before, during and after our trip. Loved the photos she sent during our time away. We could see from the photos that our pets enjoyed having her around for walks and cuddles. Hollie took care of the house as well bringing in the mail and taking the garbage out when scheduled. She will be the person to call when our next trip comes up.
Lulu is a wonderful person and delightful to work with. She accepted our request last minute, which was a huge help! We really appreciate Lulu’s thoroughness with understanding dog needs, schedules and behavioral tendencies she can help monitor/redirect. Throughout her stay with our pups (one senior and one puppy!), I was so grateful to receive regular communication about how the dogs were doing, including really cute photos. We will absolutely hope to work with Lulu again and again!
Our whole family loves Victoria, especially Harlow and Aspen! She has been so helpful, communicative, professional, and loving with our boys. Even Harlow who can be a bit shy warmed up to her and loves when she visits. From walks, to indoor games, cuddles, training, and plenty of enrichment, Victoria was an incredible sitter. Seriously, you will not find a better person to take care of your fur babies. She’s THE BEST.
Vanclee was absolutely wonderful once again. This was his second time sitting Hampton and Neko, and they were genuinely excited to see him when he arrived, which immediately reassured us that they remembered and enjoyed him from the first stay. This trip was the longest we’ve ever been away from the pups (13 days), but Vanclee truly made it easy and stress-free. He was prompt and communicative on handoff day, followed all instructions carefully, kept the house tidy, and most importantly took excellent care of Hampton and Neko. He went above and beyond in several ways. He watered our plants without even being asked, and knowing that one of our pups is older, he voluntarily used his work lunch break to give Hampton a midday walk, which meant so much to us. We felt completely at ease knowing our home and pups were in such good hands. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend Vanclee to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring sitter. We will definitely book again.
