1. Kylie M.

“Kylie did a wonderful job dropping in on our cats during our week long trip! We met beforehand and she made sure we were comfortable. She really paid careful attention to detail—disposed all litter and food cans so I didn’t come home to a stinky mess. Swept up scattered litter, and even took care of the trash bins. Over the years we’ve had friends and family members, and sometimes paid neighbor kids to watch our cats while we’re gone. This is by far the best experience for all! Thank you so so much!! We will definitely be booking other visits with you in the future.”


2. Kristin B.

“As an ER veterinary technician and and Rover pets that are myself, my standards and expectations for the pet sitter of my own pets is high. Not only did Kristin meet those standards,, succeeded them. I got plenty of pictures, updates and communication fromher all throughout the week. Needless to say we will be using Christine again.”

5. Jennifer D.

“Jennifer and her family watched our 3 Huskies for me and my husband while we went out of town for 2 nights and they did such an amazing job watching them and taking care of them while we were away. She always let me know when she was on the way or here at my house to let me know she was about to let them out and sent photos of my dogs to me when she was there. They were loved on and spoiled while we were away. I definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone and everyone who needs someone to watch their pets while they are away. Jennifer is AMAZING and I will be using her from now on when I need to go somewhere or if I need my dogs watched.”

I highly recommend victoria! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

About: I don’t just watch pets—I bond with them. I take the time to learn their quirks, favorite toys, routines, and what makes their tail wag. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pup like family—whether that means extra cuddle time, tailored walks, or simply being a calming presence when their humans are away. Plus, I send regular updates and photos, so you always know your dog is happy, safe, and loved. I’m currently doing school online, so my schedule is super flexible! That means I can easily fit in walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care blends perfectly into my routine. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I give them lots of affection and attention, keep their space clean, and provide regular updates so you feel connected and at ease while you're away.


13. Taylor R.
“Taylor is absolutely amazing with my three dogs. She shows them each individual attention so no one feels left out. The love and care that she shows her own dog is a testament to how she will treat other people animals.”


14. Michael R.
“Mike was great with both dogs. Different breeds and different ages. I requested photos and minimal updates and they seemed very happy when I returned from a weeks long vacation. Will definitely be booking on future events. My pups don’t need anything special, but with Mike working from home it was a nice peace of mind since the pups are in a new setting. You can tell he takes care of my pups.”


15. Samantha M.
“Samantha is someone i have known for almost 15 years, and she is a very bright and kind person. She has always had dogs in her home growing up as a kid and as an adult. Her dogs have always been like her best friends and she treats them more like humans than just an animal. i highly recommend her as a sitter, she is reliable and definitely trust worthy.”
