“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”
“Lisana was great my pups were happy, well taken care of and my apt was tidy when we got back! She communicated daily and sent update pictures which I loved. Would definitely book again!”
“Rachel is amazing! That's all I need to say, book her! As a dog lover myself, it was reassuring to find a sitter who loves my pups as much as me - and Rachel does. Upon meeting her, all three of my dogs were immediately comfortable and even rolled over for belly rubs :) -- I have one senior dog who I was particularly worried about leaving, but Rachel kept me at ease with constant communication and pictures. I will definitely book sitting with her again. Thank you Rachel! -- Lola, Toro, and Roxy miss you!”
“Jared did a fantastic job with both of my cats, did great with giving all medications and keeping two cats with very different appetites both fed and happy. They obviously loved him and I’ll reach out to him first before considering anyone else for future trips. Professional, communicates super well and sends lots of absolutely adorable pictures.”
“I was So STREESED! I hired a sitter from Care.com months in advance, the day before I requested a visit so my dogs could met her, she was a no show, and then canceled, I hired two more one canceled the other no communication the day of the service. I Googled & found Rover, requested a shortened getaway as I lost a day and was thankful Jorge agreed to sit. Finally. stress gone. Everything exceeded expectations. Punctual with schedule given to him, updates provided, even with video if needed. Came home and everything was as if I never left. I Highly Recommend.”
“I'm so glad I found Nev for a last minute trip. They were so thorough during our meet and greet, and my shy cat Yuki took to them immediately. I felt so secure, knowing they were with my babies all weekend! I can't wait to book them again.”
“Great experience with Maria watching after our babies. She was willing to meet with our dogs prior to the dates of the booking. She sent updates and pictures while we were away. She was willing to stay longer if needed to ensure the dogs were taken care of. Great communication and our dogs seemed happy. We didn’t require the dogs to be walked but she went above and beyond to make sure they still got some exercise and play time.”
“Last minute plans came up and Sarah did amazing taking care of our boys and our home! Second time booking Sarah and everything went smoothly. She's reliable and trustworthy!”
“Christopher stepped in at the last minute when my usual sitter cancelled, and absolutely saved the day! He was thorough, professional, asked insightful questions, and ensured I came home to two very happy cats! A true life saver”
About: I’ve been caring for animals as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, horses, cats, and other animals, I developed a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. From daily feedings and grooming to training sessions and playtime, I gained hands-on experience that taught me both responsibility and compassion. Whether it’s administering medication, mucking stalls, or comforting a nervous pup, I’ve always approached pet care with patience, love, and attention to detail. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! I am currently a student and working part time as a CrossFit coach. I have lots of breaks throughout the day to come visit, walk and love on critters! I have a huge dog park within 100 feet of my apartment that has tons of fun for pups of all shapes and sizes! I can go for walks directly from your home, or explore new hiking and walking trails with your pup! I am comfortable with keeping dogs in crates, as well as out and about in the house!
About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.

“There is not enough room on here to describe how wonderful Rebbecahlynn is with our babies. She is now their Auntie Rebbecahlynn and they absolutely adore her. She is kind, respectful, responsible and very loving with our pups. We required many special instructions- including overnight stays and she was so accommodating. She also sent photos and videos of our pups throughout the day which was such a sweet surprise to look forward to, while we were away... We truly can’t recommend her enough. She is an absolute gem and we are so thankful to have found her!”
