Daria stayed in our place with our dog and cat for a week. Unfortunately, our cat became sick during our travel, and she promptly informed us about the situation. She took our cat to the vet, followed instructions about the treatment, and sent us timely updates. She is very caring and went above and beyond attending to our sick cat. Also, she left our house clean and in order. I highly recommend her.

Johnatan took care of my dog for 2 weeks. He’d feed her and walk her twice a day. He was always respectful and kept me posted about my dog’s activities. He washed the linens before departing and even gave my dog a quick bath (he forgot the blow-drying part though). As much as I’d like to give him 5 stars, there’s still room for improvement as he forgot to leave the sliding door open for the dog to go outside leading to the dog peeing and popping inside of the house. He sometimes took 8+ hours to get back home and a couple of nights he wasn’t able to return at all and my dog slept alone. The latter due to he working part time at a place located 1 hr away from our home. Overall, a thrustful boy who just needs to get more experience.

Charlie and Angrboda are always very calm and comfy when Jessikah has watched them while I'm away. She always leaves my home clean and tidy, and is the BEST communicator I've had watching my pets. This time, she dealt with two complications: (1) Charlie's old man knee acting up and making him lethargic and uncomfortable, which I'm so thankful she was attentive to; (2) fielding a tree service that was rescheduled to the last day of my trip, which really did me a solid - rescheduling would have been a pain. When Charlie was feeling unwell, she sent videos and called me to make sure I knew what his symptoms were and could give her an informed recommendation for his care. I panicked a little, but her videos helped me identify the issue and decide it was not an emergency. He's doing great, now 🥰

Dane was amazing and I’m so relieved to have found such a great sitter on our first go at Rover. He’s extremely communicative and took amazing care of both our cat and dog. We received frequent updates and photos and knew both our babies were in good hands. Our dog was extremely well exercised, and Dane went above and beyond to still check in and greet our cat (while giving her space) who doesn’t do well with people. Dane also went above and beyond to leave our house neater than when he first arrived! Would highly recommend Dane, and I’m so glad to know we have a reliable, trusted sitter for future vacations!

Beatryx stayed with our 5 year old Cooper over the holidays, and took fantastic care of him. They regularly sent adorable photos and updates, and were great with Cooper across his range of energy levels (play and fun when high and cuddly time when low!). They were an excellent communicator and have strong experience and expertise with animals. Thanks Beatryx!

Nicole was an amazing dog sitter, and I would use her again in a heartbeat. My dachshund is an older guy, and he is both deaf and struggling with dementia, which means that he requires a lot of care and help. Nicole was incredibly accommodating with regard to his needs - organizing her household to make it safe for him, watching him closely when he was around other dogs, etc. Nicole is also very gracious. For example, I found out upon returning from a two week trip that my dog had been waking her up really early. Rather than complaining about that - which would have been totally justified! - she figured out a way to deal with his early morning needs. Communication was wonderful, I received updates and pictures multiple times a day, and when I picked my pooch up, he seemed happy and well adjusted. Thank you so much Nicole!!

Bryan did an amazing job caring for our doggie!! He was very in tune with everything that she needed. Bryan made sure that she was happy with lots of pets and attention which she loves. He sent us updates along the way with pics/video to let us know how she was doing which we really appreciated. He handled all of her care without any issues. I could tell right away that he is very good with dogs. He also took great care of the house and left it very clean which was awesome. I would highly recommend Bryan for a pet/house sit!!

About: Dogs aren’t just pets to me… they’re family. I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 plus years, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s personality, quirks, and favorite belly rub spots. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or more of a cuddle-on-the-couch type, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I can accommodate last-minute bookings when needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will get lots of supervision, playtime, and companionship. 🐾 I take time to learn each dog’s routine, behavior, and any special needs so I can care for them the way you do. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, or giving them space when they need quiet time, I follow your instructions closely. If I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. I monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and will contact you right away if anything seems off. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and genuine love for animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own family member. 🐾❤️

About: *Important Information* Please note that my 8 year old Great Dane and 3 old toddler will be present during your dog's stay. I have had the pleasure of growing up with dogs, and my passion for them has only deepened over the years. I cannot imagine life without at least one dog by my side. Caring for dogs, whether my own or others', is something I cherish deeply. My dedication and genuine admiration for dogs are why many people trust me to dogsit for them. Your pet(s) will be in good hands, as I prioritize their happiness and safety. I believe their feelings are just as important as ours. Over the years, I have learned to read dogs' body language, which enables me to better understand their needs and desires despite the communication barrier between humans and dogs. As a stay at home mom and recent graduate, I spend a significant amount of time at home, ensuring that your dog will rarely be left alone for extended periods. However, if your dog cannot be left unattended for at least three hours at a time, we may not be the best fit. I have a fenced yard they can run around in and also live a one minute walk from a dog trail. I can assure your dog will be safe as I like to treat them as my own.

Daria did an amazing job caring for my dog, especially under some really difficult circumstances. My dog got sick during the stay, and Daria went above and beyond, cleaning her up, giving her medication, and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. She kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m really grateful for how attentive and compassionate she was, and I would absolutely trust her again.

Salina has taken such great care of our babies. Our doggy was sick this past week and Salina found food our dog would eat after our dog rejected everything we had at home. Salina also took our dog to a vet appointment and did an excellent job of communicating between the vets and myself/my partner. It is a huge relief to have a committed, trusted caretaker for our dogs.

And he took such good care of them and sent us the best pics (professional photography levels) we felt at so much ease knowing Leo is taking care of them. We trusted Leo completely thanks to his amazing communication and care. We most definitely will be using Leo again for caring for our babies and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for utmost care and love for your pets. Thank you so much Leo. You rock !!
