“Brooklyn has been amazing in caring for our dogs, cats and guinea pig. We have used her for many walks And now a multi day/night trip. She kept us updates and stayed at our house which was a big relief to know our dogs were taken care of even during the night.”

About: - I work from home allowing for flexibility - I've house/dog sat for 10+ days at a time - I foster puppies in my free time, I’m comfortable with potty training and basic training - I’ve had experience with senior dogs and cats (administering medication orally and topically) - I have two dogs (medium and large) and a senior cat of my own Working from home allows me to have flexibility in my day. Since the weather is nice I’d love to walk some pups or play fetch! I am happy to have your puppy stay with me at my house if needed, I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep them busy! I’m no stranger to staying at other houses either and I’m happy to do so! We’ll play with some toys, watch some movies, maybe some snacks and cuddle time?! I love to send photos and keep you updated on your pup!
“Linda was on time (early) and she did so well with Lucy. Our Lucy’s leg was broken and needs extra attention. Linda was very good with her. We will definitely use Linda again.”

“Savannah has stayed overnight with our dog (Dally) multiple times while we’ve been traveling, and every time she does such an incredible job taking care of Dally and the house too!! We love having Savannah stay at the house while we are gone, it makes traveling easier knowing that Dally is in such good hands.”

“Joshua was hands down one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. My fiancée and I left on a 17-day trip to Europe, and we usually get anxious leaving our two boys for that long, but Joshua as a house sitter was truly exceptional. He sent us frequent photos and videos, and when a really bad winter storm came through out of nowhere, he went above and beyond to move our dogs to his own home to keep a closer eye on them. We couldn’t have possibly asked for a more attentive, caring sitter. He will absolutely be our main sitter moving forward. :)”

“Sasha did a great job housesitting and caring for our dogs and cat! Great communication, followed our complicated care instructions, and was flexible when we needed her to stay longer. Thank you, Sasha!”

“Kayley was great once again! She took amazing care of our pets and goes above and beyond to make sure she understands their schedules and needs and reassured us throughout the trip. She came in helpful last min when our other sitter had a family emergency and canceled the day before, and Kayley was able to accommodate an extra 2-3 days to help us. We will always continue to use her!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! 🐾 She stayed at our house while we were away and took absolutely amazing care of our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were comfortable in their own home and getting so much attention. She sent tons of photos and updates, which we loved seeing while we were gone. Our dogs got plenty of playtime every day, especially their favorite game of chuckit multiple times a day! You could tell they were happy, exercised, and well cared for the whole time. Our house was also in great shape when we got back, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐶”

About: Hi there!! My name is Jillian, but you can call me Jill for short. I’ve had animals all my life, from horses, dogs, and cats all the way down to guinea pigs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have two cats of my own, one of whom is special needs, so I understand that every pet has unique personalities and needs. I am equally a dog person as I am a cat person, and everything in between! Thank you for considering me as your pet’s step-in mom, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend(s) soon!! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which I know many people aren’t fortunate to have. Whether you need someone to stop by and let your pup out while you’re at work or care for your kitties while you’re away, I’m your go-to gal! I have 2 cats that live in my apartment, and at this time I am not available for boarding in my home, just drop in visits.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have a dog of my own that I was taking care of when not in school. I also take care of family friends pets while on vacation and at work. I love to give dogs baths and play with them! Pet care fits into my schedule since I am a college student. Pet care can be molded into the ideal schedule and I am flexible with coming up with set schedules and routines to properly care for animals before, between, and after classes! I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and a comfortable and safe place to sleep. I love knowing that animals are well taken care of. I love being able to play with animals and generally spend time ensuring that they feel the love they all need and want.

About: I have veterinarian assistant background, and can administer medications. I have been dog sitting for 9 years. I am active and will be engaging with your pets constantly. my schedule fits perfect for dog sitting and dog walking. I will take care of your pets as they are my own. I hope you’ll consider me for your pets needs. I am currently working part time and would love to use my extra time to take care of your pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule, and your pets needs come first. Giving your pets love, playtime, and exercise. If your pets have special needs to meet those needs for them. Cleaning up after your animals and always making sure their needs are taken care of.
“Coral took very good care of Cookie. Coral gave us daily updates and even gave us an overall update. Coral was communicative and paid close attention to detailed requests. She took care of our place like it was her own and when we got back it was the same as when we left.”

“Patricia is our #1 Rover because of the way our nervous dogs come out of their shells with her. She sends pictures of them all piled on the bed together with her - that's how we know that they feel comfortable and safe, and that means the world to us when we're away. She also makes the extra effort to make sure the house is clean and tidy when we come home (we clean before we leave but I swear it looks better when we come back), and that's just an added bonus.”

About: Whether your dog loves adventures or relaxing on the couch, I'll make sure they feel loved and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Reliable, attentive, and trustworthy care. Im available all mornings, some afternoons, and part of the weekend. I can make it multiple times a day, as often as you need for your comfort. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets are supervised and cared for throughout the day. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
“Mariah was great to have, we had her watching our dog for 2 weeks, she was great at communicating with us and we never had to worry about our dog. We knew he was in great hands!”

“Evelyn is a life saver! I had another sitter fall through while I was already out of town, and Evelyn took over at the very last minute. She was professional, accommodating, very communicative, patient as I sorted things out, and asked all of the right questions. My pets have medical needs which Evelyn took very seriously and followed all of my instructions. She also walked my dog, played with my dog and the cats, and took and sent me lots of photos. It was clear all 3 of my pets loved her. I am so grateful for her help. Thank you Evelyn!!”

“AJ is fantastic! Took perfect care of our fur babies and our home! I’ve never before come home after vacation when pet sitter stayed and found the house cleaner then I left it! We are not slobs, but AJ left no trace! I am thrilled to have AJ as a resource every time we travel. Best pet sitter ever!”
