“Caroline is incredible. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat and apartment. She is so dedicated and communicates very well. Our cat immediately loved her. I would give her 6 stars if I could.”


“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”


“Alanna was wonderful with my 11-week old puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me informed on how he was doing. Also, she worked on reinforcing his trainer which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again with Alanna!”


“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys”


About: I've grown up with 6 labs, 2 cats, numerous fish, hamsters, and other assorted animals. I love being around dogs the most and treat everyone's pet as I would my own. Walks, play-time, dog-sitting, or check-ins - whatever you need, I'm your guy! I work remote 2 days a week and I'm home (alone) every day starting around 6pm. Taking care of your pets would help me fill my time with some good company! I can't house any pets at my residence, but I'll respect any and all guidelines for pet care at your home, the park, or any walk we go on.

“Bryan is great! Very chill, easy to communicate with, sends plenty of pics while they are out and about! We’ve already been a repeat customer as we come home to a very happy girl, we know she’s in good hands. I’m sure BK will be seeing Bryan again soon!”


“Caroline was great with our senior dachshund. She stayed with him for a weekend at our place and kept us updated on how he was doing. She was kind, thoughtful, and responsible. We will hire her again the next time we go out of town!”


“Jeffrey was fantastic with our 3 dogs! He cared for them like they were his own — including a senior who needs daily medication and another shy/nervous pup. Before the stay, he took the time to meetup to ensure the dogs were comfortable with him—especially our very nervous one. That extra effort really made a difference. During the stay, Jeffrey kept us updated with regular messages and photos. In every single one, the dogs looked relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. By the end of the stay, our shy dog had totally come around—she and Jeffrey really clicked, and it was so sweet to see how much she trusted him. We’ll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!”


“Margot was so great with Milo and was so helpful for watching him through the whole day! She took him on 2 walks and was very kind! Milo seemed very happy when I got home and we would definitely book with her again 😊”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. I'm patient, gentle, and pay close attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, slow walks for older pups, or active playtime for energetic dogs, I adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m currently very flexible, especially on evenings and weekends. Whether it's a quick check-in, feeding, or playtime I’ll make sure your pet gets consistent, loving care. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or special care needs. I keep a calm, clean environment and give pets lots of attention and affection while respecting their space. I also stay in touch with regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and safe. If I ever have a question or notice something unusual, I’ll reach out right away.

“Thank you Jenna for your tender loving care of Alex while I was away. I know it wasn't easy, as he also started a new medication (that you picked up for me!!) along with his other meds. Just getting him to take his meds is quite a task. I will certainly contact you again the next time we are out of town. Thank you, thank you!!”

William Z.
“William, aka Billy, is one of my favorite dog lovers. I have worked in rescue for over 8 years and there was never a time where I couldn't depend on him. If I ever needed a last minute foster, no matter the case whether it was medical, puppy, adult, behavioral, Billy always was up for the task. He has babysat many of my own animals, foster and personal, and is incredibly well versed in training after raising several of his own dogs. He has a very calming presence and even some of my own timid fosters would always be at Billy's side on the couch within 20 minutes, sleeping or belly up wagging. Could not ask for a better pet friend, sitter, and foster!”
