“Thank you Annika for taking great care of our 4 dogs! Knowing that they were in good care allowed us to enjoy our time away for the family wedding. The great communication while we were out of town really helped us so we didn't miss the dogs so much! We highly recommend Annika for any pet related care! She gets to know your pet and forms a bond which reduces the stress on you and your pets. Thank you again for being so awesome!”


“Khelsi was great, communicative, and sent me lots of pics! My neighbor told me that she could tell the dogs loved her when they all came outside. ❤️”


“Hanna stayed with our dogs for the first time and they seemed to love her based on the pics she shared. One of our dogs as epilepsy and although he did not have seizures while in her care - I trusted that she would have managed them if they had occurred.”


“I can't say enough good things about Maciyah! She took care of my dog Vader and did an absolutely amazing job. From the moment I booked her, her communication was top-notch. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending plenty of pictures and videos. Maciyah’s genuine love for dogs really stood out. I felt completely at ease knowing Vader was in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking her again.”


“Randi was amazing with our dogs and sent us tons of updates and pictures!! They were in great hands while we were out of town for the holidays.”


“Lovely first time experience with JJ. Handled my motley bunch with calm professionalism. I was out of the country, which always makes me extra nervous, but smooth as silk. Really appreciate the informative updates. Hope they are available next time too!”


“Our experience with Sarah was excellent! I was nervous about leaving my dogs with someone new and she made it so easy. She was very responsive, sent regular updates and photos, and was super flexible about timing. I came home to relaxed, happy dogs that had clearly been taken great care of!”


“Erin was GREAT! We were nervous to use Rover for the first time but Erin eased all worries with an intro visit beforehand and then took great care of our kitties. She was clean, thorough, and trustworthy!! We will definitely book again.”


“This is my second time booking with Ashton and as usual she is amazing. My pup loves her so much and she does an excellent job taking care of him!”


“Erik was fantastic, great communication and actively engaged in asking questions about pet care and understanding their needs ahead of time. During the stay he put my mind at ease with pictures, updates, and made it much easier to be away from my pets and home. He was even able to make some last minute changes work and the animals loved spending time with him. Good vibes all around, definitely recommend! I will be booking with Erik again!”


“Allie was so wonderful and made being away from the pups so much easier! She sent updates and pictures daily of how they were doing. Coming home they were so relaxed and calm, like we were never gone! Definitely will be utilizing her in the future!”


“Katy took great care of my cat and home! Would book again any time. Thanks! :)”


“Kayla was a fantastic fur baby sitter! My dogs absolutely adored her, they were well cared for, and I was kept in the loop with their daily activities. I absolutely recommend Kayla, and I will be using her services again in the future. She’s kind, communicative, and respectful of my time and space. I could go on and on, but your pets are in kind safe hands with Kayla!”


“Hanan was amazing! We had a sitter cancel last second before the holidays and she stepped right in no problem. We’re very particular about who watches our Zuko as he can be a lot to handle for some but wow did she do great! Between watching our house and Zuko and taking care of our fish too, she definitely knows what she’s doing. She even had her own puppy boot camp for Zuko! He’s got a few more commands up his sleeves and really is even more well behaved than when we left. Thank you Hanan! Have an amazing new year and we look forward to using your services again soon!”


“Melissa is very communicative during her stays and visits. It’s very helpful to know Bubs is being taken care of so well! We appreciate the kindness she shows to our pup. And she is a good houseguest!”



About: I take pride in my work as a pet sitter. I have experience and knowledge from taking care of past family members' pets. I am someone you can count on to do the job. I currently work full-time at a credit union (M-F). I get home at around 5:45pm/6pm. I am all focused on taking care of your pet (dog walking, drop in visit, or overnight); your cat or dog is my #1 priority. Thank you for trusting me with your family. Although I don't have any pets myself right now, I do have past experience taking care of pets (per my reviews). I take pride and much joy in taking care of both dogs and cats.

“Lily was great. Easy to communicate with and the dogs seemed to love her.”


About: Growing up in the country I've always had small and large dogs. I started raising dogs from puppies before I was 10 years old and as a teenager I was able to get some unique experience from taking care of our more senior dogs who had mobility issues and required daily medication. As an adult, I have my big Tarot dog! He is a blue heeler mix with a ton of energy and it's always fun to play with him! I'm currently in graduate school and have meetings in the middle of the day on Monday and Thursday, but other than that I am usually at home with my own cats and dog and have the availability to take care of yours too! I often play with my cats with their string toys and fuzzy pom poms. Shadow (my black and white kitty) has even learned to play fetch with them! For Tarot, he likes to play with the hose in our fenced-in back yard. But his favorite is when we take him for walks in the park near our home! If I were taking care of your pets, I would be just as playful with them and for your dogs, I'd try to mix up the walks they go on so they always get the most enrichment out of their walks :)

“Nicole communicated with me well while I away. Letting me know how Stitch was doing and sending pictures. I really appreciate her picking up my last minute request and loving Stitch while I away.”


About: Need a house sitter, plant sitter, or pet sitter you can count on? Hi, I’m Madrona — a remote marketing professional with a flexible schedule, years of experience, and a serious soft spot for furry companions. Since my family (and their pets) no longer live nearby, I’m looking to spend more quality time with animals — whether that’s a quick walk, a drop-by visit, or a longer stay in your home while you’re away. I’m available for: • Overnight house and pet sitting (I’ll stay in your home and care for pets + plants) • Drop-ins and walks • Short-term or occasional care I’ve worked with pets who are reactive, anxious, on meds, or just need a little extra patience. I’ve also been the go-to sitter for everything from cats with attitude to senior dogs with complex routines. I treat every home and animal like my own — with care, consistency, and respect. Tabor, my sweet family dog, won’t be tagging along unless invited, but he’s why I do this. He taught me how much love and attention animals really need — and deserve. Let’s chat if you’re looking for someone kind, experienced, and reliable. Because I work remotely and make my own schedule, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day visits, or overnight stays, I can be fully present and consistent — no rushing between commitments or leaving pets alone for long stretches. I genuinely enjoy the quiet companionship animals bring, so spending time with them is never a chore — it’s something I look forward to. Whether I’m staying in your home or stopping by throughout the day, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for the entire time you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping things as close to their usual routine as possible. That means sticking to feeding schedules, walk times, medication if needed, and any specific instructions you provide — all while giving them plenty of love, attention, and calm energy. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and communicative, so you’ll always know how things are going while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure each visit is intentional — not rushed. I give pets time to settle, play, get their energy out (or just relax), and always check on their water, food, and general well-being. If I’m doing overnight care, I work remotely from your home, so your pets get lots of company and consistency throughout the day — not just in the mornings and evenings. No matter the service, your pet’s comfort and safety come first.
