Sallie was a wonderful dog sitter! She was very communicative and left detailed reports when watching our two dogs. You can tell she really loves animals, and our dogs were immediately comfortable with her the first time meeting her they were in great hands! I would recommend her to anyone!

Rachael was great with our dog Ruthie while we were away. We had a friend staying with her for the week but Rachael helped out with mid day breaks while he was at work. She sent pics every day which made us feel so much better. Would definitely recommend Rachael for your pet sitting needs!

Kristen is always very professional and reliable. I have a 110 pound male pup who is unsure of most people when he first meets them. She knew just how to respond to him and now he loves her! My other pup is a fence jumper and she always makes sure she is on her cable. Kristen is quick to respond and always sends pictures and uses Rover Cards. She is extremely polite.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover offering dog walks, cat care, and drop-in visits. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs.

During visits, I can provide fresh water, feedings, potty breaks, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pets! I currently work a full time job and am available any time after work around 6 pm on the weekdays. I also have availability on the weekends at any time. I will grow and safe and trusting bond with all animals to assure that they are comfortable and well taken care of during their time with me.

Had an emergency hospital stay and needed Valorie for an extra two days. My 3 cats absolutely adore her and the comfortability has grown leaps and bounds. They are so playful with Valorie and I know she gives them the perfect amount of attention. 11/10.

Rene took such great care of our 16-week-old puppy, Josh, while we went to dinner. She immediately made us feel comfortable and was so knowledgeable, trustworthy, patient, and wonderful with him. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We feel so lucky to have found her and are already looking forward to booking with her again the next time we’re visiting Nantucket!

Breanna was absolutely wonderful with Cooper. She sent great pictures throughout the stay — Cooper looked happy, relaxed, and clearly loved spending time with her. She was always on time for walks and kept me updated without me ever needing to ask. Scheduling with her was easy and stress‑free, and she spent real quality time with Cooper, not just quick check‑ins. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Breanna for anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Very professional very kind and went above a beyond for Athena. It’s nice to be able to work and know that my beautiful dog is taken care of halfway through the workday. It’s good for her and good for me. Mentally I’m able to focus on work with peace of mind. Her communication is fantastic and she is really good with Athena my German Shepherd.

Ava was absolutely incredible caring for our two dogs! From the moment I met her, it was clear how responsible, and genuinely loving she is with animals. One of our dogs requires medication, and Ava handled everything flawlessly—she was consistent, careful, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Ava kept us updated with messages and photos. Both dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for when we returned. Ava went above and beyond and I’m so grateful we found her.
