She sent lots of pictures and even cleaned up a bit so when we got home we didn’t need to worry about it! It was nice to come home and see Smokey run downstairs to greet us perfectly happy and purring! Thanks again Stevie!”


“If I could give 100 stars I would. Minh was the most conscientious and communicative dog sitter we have ever had. My great pyr loved her and was spoiled by Minh’s visits. She always stayed much longer than was expected and even looked after a few things at our home we hadn’t asked. She is a dream sitter!! 100+ stars!”


“This was my first time leaving my cat for more than 48 hours, so I was extremely nervous to say the least. Mackenzie did such a great job at communicating with me, sending photos and detailed updates. It really put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without feeling extremely guilty the entire time. The best part was, my cat actually liked her. He doesn't play with just anyone and the fact he looked forward to seeing her and interacting with her was such a relief. Will definitely have Mackenzie back!”


“Krystal was great! She is easy to communicate with and went out of her way to meet up with me around my schedule. She did a great job checking on my cat! He was well fed and well taken care of. I will definitely contact Krystal again!”


About: I have always like taking care of dogs since I could remember. To me dogs are an a responsibility that comes with joy and excitement as you watch them grow older. Since I am home for college, this would be a perfect time to spend with your fur babies! I am available Monday-Friday. Just on Mondays and Tuesdays I often watch my nephew but he doesn’t mind a little walk. In my home I will introduce them to the area and make sure your fur baby has a home away from home. In your home I will adjust to your pet and their space all while building relationships.

About: Growing up around dogs and having two of my own, I understand the separation anxiety of leaving them at home for long periods or for vacations (been there!). I also understand if you have specific lists of needs as well (been there too!) So I will ensure your doggo is well loved and you get as much contact from me as you need to feel comfortable. I am currently a grad student, so most of my days are spent at home or being active outside (I like walking, hiking and I run 5-6x/week). This makes my days very flexible with what I can fit into my schedule. I can guarantee they will fit right in. If we book an appointment, that means my time is now theirs! I can stay over if your pet likes their home, or I have a fenced yard with a large doggie door for in/out access. I also have a separate doggie couch we can chill on and they are welcome to get on the bed at night (unless you have a no-furniture rule!) I do pick up backyard waste wherever they stay. It's no fun playing in poo...or coming home to a yard full of it! I just had to say goodbye to my beloved chocolate lab/vizsla from cancer who was a tripod, so your doggo would have the run of the house. This also means I can give medication and look after dogs that need extra care.

“Aljenaye was great! She was really thorough if things out of the ordinary came up, and her responses were really good. She did a great job with our cats, and got some great pictures of them, especially our orange cat. We would recommend her in a heartbeat, and will definitely ask for her to sit in the future.”



“Dominique is great! Our furbaby was in the absolute best care in my absence. I could not ask for a better pet sitter! I could not even think of putting my pet in anyone else’s care. Her attention to detail was outstanding! My family enjoyed the pictures from each visit! OVERALL OUTSTANDING JOB!!”


“Michaela is one of the best Rover’s I have ever had. She is so genuine, responsive, attentive, understanding, etc!!!! I have unfortunately had to cancel last minute and she never seems upset or bothered by the circumstances. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Michaela for being so sweet to our fur babies!!!”


“Shannon took such amazing care of my babies. She was so easy to communicate with and super patient and flexible when our plans changed last minute. We definitely recommend!! Thank you Shannon!”


“My dogs were happy and well taken care of while I was away and that means the world to me. It was wonderful to see pictures throughout my trip! So glad to have found someone friendly and professional for future trips! Thank you again!”


“We could not have had better luck crossing paths with Brittney! She is kind, attentive, thorough, informative and truly shows how much she cares and loves on our fur babies while we are away. We had constant communication and the best pictures to ease our feelings of being away from them. I 1000% recommend Brittney to care for your pets! We will be reaching out to her as our first choice in the future!”

13. TaLaiya H.
“Laiya has been known by my parents and I to be a very good pet caregiver. My dog always jumps on her when she comes over to our house. She bathes and watches our puppy whenever she comes, and we need to step out. She always loves on our puppy, plays with her, and knows how to properly handle her in a trustworthy manner. TaLaiya has been a very great help when we need her and Sable loves her!”


14. Brett S.
“Brett cared for our black lab puppy Knox for a week this past summer. Brett stayed at our home and exceeded our expectations of the care we desired. He not only took regular walks and gave ample attention to our attention-starved puppy, but he also checked our mail and kept our outdoor cat fed. He had also returned the home to the way we had left it, leaving it clean and tidy as if he never stayed at our house. This is one of the best experiences we have had with pet care. We have used doggy hotels in the past, but our pets have come home with kennel cough or with withdrawal issues. We did not experience any negative issues in working with Brett. We would highly recommend him and plan to use his services again in the future.”
