“Wonderful sitter. Easy going and took great care of our pets while we were away. Will definitely hire again!”



“Annika is just wonderful with Yvie. Annika has such a kind, loving personality. She was amazing , keeping up with Yvies energy and playful manner. Would definitely recommend Annika!!”


“Randi was excellent! My non-Rover catsitter was on vacation and I needed someone last minute. Randi saved the day! She made sure my cat didn't get stressed out and lonely while I was gone and greatly reduced the risk of him tantrum vomiting in my absence. As well as keeping an eye on some things around the house for me. I would not hesitate to call on her again!”


“Sarah did a great job watching our dog Mack! She arrived on time, sent regular picture updates, and gave us detailed reports of how our dog did during the day. She clearly loves animals and knows what she’s doing around them. I would recommend her to anyone!!”


About: I have always been a reliable dog sitter for friends and family over the years. I have about 13 years experience doing so. I also have some experience with puppies. I work full-time 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. But I am always available after work around 6pm and my weekends are always free. My schedule is very flexible even though I work full time. I live in an apartment but it is very spacious and I have a back courtyard where dogs can play and relax. I will take your dog for a very long walk and make sure they are stimulated mentally and physically. I will always treat your pet as if they were mine.

“Casie is so amazing to our sweet Willow. She goes above and beyond to make sure she’s taken care of with all of her special needs. We never feel worried about leaving her because we know she is in good hands. High recommend Casie!”


“Mary Grace was great with my dog during the overnight stay. I came home to a happy dog and the house was nice and tidy too, which was a bonus. I definitely recommend her.”


“Khelsi was great, communicative, and sent me lots of pics! My neighbor told me that she could tell the dogs loved her when they all came outside. ❤️”


About: I come from a long line of dog lovers and was taught from a young age how to be both caring and firm with furbabies. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of time to dote on your furbaby. With some advance notice we can craft a perfect play date. I treat my furbaby clients like family. Lots of attention and care. Other than a happy dog, you’ll never know I was in your home.

“Ashton was very accommodating and treated my 3 year old Corgi very well. Very professional and timely. Highly recommended! Will definitely utilize her services again.”


“Breanna saved us last minute when a friend cancelled dog sitting for our 3 while on a short trip. She was very kind and sent lots of pics. Would recommend her to anyone!”


About: I love all animals and owning dogs, a cat and a rabbit myself, working professionally as a kennel hand and trainer, and caring for some other fuzzy friends during my day-to-day makes me a great choice for most of your doggie day (or evening!) care. I spend lots of time at our local dog park and our own back yard exercising my pups. I have experience professionally training working and hunting dogs, and taking care of puppies and elderly dogs. The main thing I hope to achieve with your dog is to have some fun, get myself some extra exercise and hopefully be a good companion for your dog while you’re away! If you have any further questions or want some references, feel free to message me, thank you! I work as a bartender, so I often have free time during the week and during the day. I like to fill that time with Rover I will be hanging out with your furry friends and try to follow their cues as far as plans go! Each animal is unique and I appreciate when owners clue me in on their favorite hobbies (fetch, tug, etc) or how they like to play.

“My dog Isla loves when Maciyah comes to stay with her! She takes care to make Isla feel very loved and keeps her very busy. Definitely recommend Maciyah for any of your pet’s needs”


“JJ was fantastic. She housesat my cat and dog, who were clearly extremely happy with her. She sent regular updates and left the house even cleaner than she found it. Would not hesitate to book again.”


“As a first time dog owner I'm nervous about... everything. Megan is so experienced, patient and calm with my pup that not only do I feel totally at ease, but my anxious guy does as well and they are fast friends ♡”


About: *It’s kitten season! We might have a foster litter in our back room, completely separate hallway with a closed door. If this concerns you, we can adapt and move them* Hello there, My name is Karen (but not 'a Karen,' I swear). I volunteer walking dogs at the local shelter. You never really know what you'll walk into when you go there, so I've learned to be pretty adaptable. I am comfortable with pretty much all pets (but we do live in an apartment so please see bottom section for ones we cannot care for). I also started fostering this year, everything from energetic puppies to FIV+ cats, couch potatoes to zoomie kings-and-queens. Our house is empty right now, and I am not regularly working because of some health issues, so there is a ton of flexibility in my schedule and in our home. I aim to be super accommodating! And I am home often, so your pet won’t be alone much at all. We also have lots of toys, beds, a crate, and snacks, so all you’ll have to bring is food. To me, there is no point in having a pet unless you're going to spoil them. I will do everything possible to make sure your loved one isn't missing you too much. Also, I'm new to this (officially...have tons of dogsitting experience that I can provide references for if needed), so my rates will be a little lower for a couple of months. I am happy to provide my socials if you'd like to see what kind of person I am : ) There are a few pets we’re unable to take. Our apartment can be noisy with people outside, neighbors coming in and out, etc…If your dog is nervous and fearful, those noises can exacerbate that in an already strange situation/new place for them. Please do not book if your dog *barks a lot* or gets nervous easily. We also cannot take two large dogs at the same time, as much as I would really love to! I prefer to do meet-and-greets at my place, too, for this reason…which isn’t a must, just a suggestion : ) I really look forward to hearing from you! My schedule is very open. My house does not have any pets in it right now. I’m totally ready to adapt to your pet’s needs! Generally, I just am very loving to all creatures. I volunteer a lot and am used to many, many kinds of animals. I live in an apartment, so that can be confusing sometimes for dogs who are used to going potty in a yard (leashed potty break and puppy pads are what typically do here), but there is plenty of space to run around in the loft, so playtime is not an issue. My boyfriend Dave and I live together. Occasionally, he might be the person to pick off/drop off instead of me.

“Lizabeth went above and beyond for a last minute emergency pet sitting, due to do the owner suffering a medical emergency. i highly recommend her services, she was absolutely fantastic!”


“Liam was great with our dogs and home while out of town. Great communication, house was in great shape when we returned.”


“Karina has house sat for me/my pets three times now and each time has been great. She is very respectful of my home and the animals seem to love her. She sends pics daily along with little updates and doesn’t get annoyed by even the neediest creatures (my cat and dog want attention 24/7). I will continue to use her for my pet sitting services in the future!”


“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”
