“Excellent all round! Alyssa helped us on short notice by dog sitting at our house and was really great with Ollie. We would absolutely work with her again!”


“Ona took great care of my dog for the weekend! She took her on lots of walks and sent plenty of updates each day so that I knew how everything was going. She went above and beyond to help me out this weekend!”


“We just got back from our weekend away and I think our dog wishes Hayley were still here! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for all weekend. Hayley provided us with regular pictures and updates and our house looked like no one was here, even though she stayed all weekend. We truly appreciate Hayley staying with our guy and will plan on using her again in the future!”


“Anika came to dog sit our two dogs (one adult and one puppy). She was so lovely and sweet - our dogs loved her. She was on time and provided photos throughout the day. We are very grateful to have found a trustworthy sitter!”

“Danny did a great job taking care of my dog and house for 5 days. Did everything I asked of him and my dog didn’t seem to be sad while I was gone even though we are very attached. This tells me Danny kept him busy and happy. Got lots of pictures and videos. Will definitely be rebooking with Danny!”


“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”


“Sarah took great care of my dog and gave her exercise every day. I liked receiving photos while I was away to see my dog looked happy. I was able to enjoy being away knowing my house and dog were in good hands. I'll definitely re-book with Sarah in the future.”


“Alexis was great with the dogs! The house was cleaned up and tidy after she left and they were happy to see me, but clearly well taken care of while I was gone. Would book again!”


“Jamie took great care of our dogs. He asked plenty of questions at the front end to ensure he gave the dogs the best care and provided plenty of updates during his stay”


“Amazing!!! Could not recommend Morgan highly enough!!! She house and pet sat our dog, quaker parrot, rat, and fish for about a week and did a fantastic job! We recieved frequent updates and pictures, and all of our animals LOVED her (even our very finicky bird!). We did 2 meet-and-greets prior to our trip and Morgan was always on time, polite, and professional. She asked lots of relevant questions and really cared for our pets as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone prompt, professional, and great with animals, Morgan is your person!!!”


“My dog and cat were well cared for. They were happy and relaxed when we returned home. Pilar left the house in perfect shape too. We are so grateful and can’t wait to have her again.”


About: I have cared for dogs since I was very young. I’ve always owned a dog and love caring for fur babies young and old. I am known for being the one to give dogs all the love and care that they need! I work part time early mornings, so I am available everyday after 3pm except on Wednesday nights! I am also available on the weekends after 1pm! I am very flexible, so if you have any questions feel free to message me! I have reliable transportation and can easily take your dog to the park, the pet store or just cuddle up on the couch! I always wants to ensure your pup gets their regularly scheduled walks, treats and rubs so I never mind a list or long instructions!

“Jessie’s communication was great! Piper and the cats were well taken care of and the house was left better than I left it. Best part was not having to worry about disrupting routines! Defined going to use for our next time away! Highly recommended!”


“Suzanne did a really great job watching my pup! She met with me a couple of times before my trip, was patient with my anxious dog, followed instructions, took lots of notes, sent me great photos and updates, and left the house very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her!”


About: We have always had pets growing up and being with animals is my favorite thing! I have two cats of my own, Russell and Ginger, and they are my world. I can’t have a dog in my apartment so I would just love to help you take care of yours! I also have experience with guinea pigs and fish. I work full-time as a nurse and work Monday through Friday 8am-4:30pm. The days I work I am not able to leave to take care of pets but can provide care before and after my shifts. I am free most weekends as well. If I am available, I am more than happy to care for your babies! My big cat is my baby. He is pretty spooked by other animals so I would prefer to not bring other pets into my house. I will be able to walk pets and do house sitting or day time care at a client’s house.

“Ricky "petsat" our elderly dog and 2 cats in our home for 4 nights and they were well taken care of. Our dog requires multiple medications and Ricky was comfortable with administering. He didn't balk at cleaning up little cat puke! He is quick with communicating and sent us photo updates. I felt comfortable that our fur babies were being well cared for. Thank you Ricky.”


“Emilia was so great with our dog, Willow! They were able to accommodate our last minute dog-sitting request, offered to arrive early to go over any special instructions, and sent us cute pics of our pupster while we were out (the separation anxiety goes both ways!... ) Thanks so much for taking such good care of Willow, Emilia!!”


“Kiera did everything I expected and more. She contacted me every other day with pictures and updates. My dog looked so happy! I would definitely contact her again for service.”


About: I have a dog of my own, a Shih Tzu that I have personally cared for a decade. So walking is no problem at all, I’m used to it. There is also a cat that I have cared for a year now. I also have worked at a doggy daycare place so I have worked with multiple dogs at once and fed them on time. Also took them for walks and will clean their paws afterwards. I even keep them entertained by giving lots of cuddles and toys to keep their minds active. This really helps when they are just stuck in a room bored waiting for their owners. This sets me apart from others because not only do I have personal experience, I experienced it on a professional level that I know how to handle things efficiently. Every day I start with feeding my dog and cat then some playtime mid day with the cat because the dog is quite old now. Then I end the day with a second meal for them and cleaning up the litter box and the pee matt for the senior dog I have to do the most care with my dog since he has dry eyes so it is a daily repetitive task of giving him his eye medication.


“First of all, I think it’s so sweet that Natalie’s dad wrote her a review, it definitely made me want to hire her initially. Second of all, Natalie was absolutely AMAZING. We hired her to stay at our house for nine days to take care of our dog and our cat, and she was positively wonderful. We met beforehand I knew upon meeting her that my animals would be in great hands with her. She sent daily updates and frequent pictures. I had never left my animals for that length of time and it was such a relief knowing she was taking such great care of them. I would absolutely hire Natalie again, I wouldn’t even have to think about it. I could not recommend her more highly. I know Obi and Doctor Jones miss her already!”

“Karen is a great pet owner, she’s had two pets, one dog that’s currently very old and a more recent kitten that they’ve started to care for. She is really wonderful, always making sure that they are properly cared for, buying toys that better suit their needs, ensuring that they have been given their medicine and food on time, playing with and petting them. She really loves them and makes sure that they know that. She would be a wonderful caregiver to any pet.”
