Benjamin is relatable and very kind with our dog Leo. He provided great feedback on Leo’s walk with him, and went above and beyond. I’m so glad that we met him!

Morgan did a wonderful job with our nervous dog. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. It was obvious that she cared a lot about taking the best care of our girl!

Bess is so wonderful with our sweet pup! We are grateful to have her recurring, reliable help making certain he is well loved and well exercised. He always has the biggest smile on his face in the photos Bess sends of their time together…and he is always tuckered out when we return from those long days at work. Thank you, Bess!

100% pleased with our first behavior training session with Jessie. Our re-homed 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever responded extremely well to the positive reinforcement clicker/treat training, and we have a great plan for homework until our next session. Jessie has a wonderful communication style with both people and dogs- great listener, not a fast-talker, clear and concise suggestions... We plan to book him again for both training and homestays when we can't take pups on holiday trip.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years for friends, family, and as a TrustedHousesitter both in the U.S. and internationally. (See glowing reviews here: bit.ly/trustedhousesittersprofile-desiree) I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and care needs. I absolutely LOVE dogs and it is my joy to share moments with any pups I cross paths with. My approach is to follow the owner’s care instructions & routine closely to maintain the dog’s familiar routine and environment. This helps maintan a sense of calm and stability for the dog, and keeps things consistent while you’re away. I focus on attentive care with lots of play and love, reliability and adherence to care instructions, and clear communication with you, so your dog stays comfortable, and you return to a happy, well-cared-for dog & home. I am an entrepreneur and independent contractor so my schedule is my own. I am flexible and experienced with molding my schedule to suit the needs of the owners & dogs I care for. I ensure that pet and home care instructions are understood and adhered too at all times to create consistency and trust with you and your pet.

About: I care for dogs regularly through my pet sitting work, including feeding, potty breaks, leash walks, playtime, and basic training practice. I live with my own pets, including an energetic young pup, so I’m very comfortable managing puppy zoomies, reinforcing good manners, and keeping routines consistent. I have experience with different sizes and temperaments and always take time to read each dog’s body language so they feel comfortable and understood I prioritize pet sitting around my work schedule, ensuring that pets receive dedicated care when I’m off the clock. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I make time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My goal is to maintain a consistent routine that keeps pets comfortable and cared for while balancing my other commitments. I care for every pet in a secure, stress-free setting, whether in my home or yours. In my home, I’ve established dedicated pet areas with clean, comfortable resting spots and safe play zones, while in your home, I meticulously follow your routines and guidelines—ensuring your space is respected and enhanced with pet-proofing measures. Open communication and regular updates mean you’ll always feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and thriving.

About: I am very patient and caring, and this is reflected in my care of animals. I have worked with cats and dogs of all different temperaments, including puppies, so I know how to adjust my care based on the needs or personality of the pet. I am currently working part-time, but I would love to spend my extra time with your pets! My schedule changes week to week, but as long as everything is communicated ahead of time I am happy to work you in. I have one cat at home, although he prefers to be the only animal in the house. In terms of care in the clients home, I am open and flexible to whatever they need, whether that is a long walk, crating the dog, or just time outside to play and get energy out.

Madison walked/played with my dog on two separate occasions, for an hour each time. She was on time and completed Rover cards including pictures, which I really appreciated! We did a meet and greet beforehand, and I felt comfortable with Madison right away. I'll definitely be booking with her for any future dog walking or sitting needs.

Neil walked my fur child many times over the last few months. It was nice not having to worry once I realized he was in good hands. Neil was consistent. My dog seemed to like him, and he's a pretty good judge of character.

Grayson was very communicative and let us rest easy that Birdie would get her exercise. We had two weather events during our absence and she was willing to go above and beyond to walk our dog. (For safety’s sake we asked her to stay safe at home)
