“Paz did a wonderful job sitting my dog at my house while I was away. She texted me with photos about twice a day, and asked me some questions that she wanted to know. I already booked her for another trip I'm going on this winter. I have no complaints at all about her care for my dog.”
“Jessica is so amazing. She was fabulous before and throughout the stay keeping us informed. She was totally organized & professional. And when we got stuck in a hurricane and couldn’t get home, she handled everything and made my life simple by ensuring my dog was well taken care of for TWO extra days.”
“Tara is an excellent pet sitter! We’re so happy we trusted her with our dog and cat over 4th of July weekend. She played with them and sent detailed updates. Upon return, our fur babies were happy and well taken care of.”
“Carol was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our puppy, Teddy, overnight for a few days, and Carol really put our minds at ease very quickly. She cared for Teddy like he was her own. We got regular updates with photos of Teddy looking like he was having a great time. I think he was a little sad to see her go! She was such a pleasure to interact with for us, too. We will definitely be contacting her again the next time have to be away from Teddy! Thank you so very much for a wonderful experience, Carol!”
“Maia was fantastic! She is very professional and reliable, consistently communicates with updates as requested. She also stayed with our chihuahua for 11 days in the middle of nasty winter weather and handled any and all issues very well. The pup and our house were in perfect shape when we got home.”
“Hannah watched our dog while we were away and did a great job communicating with us and sending updates while we were away. Our pup seemed very well cared for and Hannah kept the house just as we'd left it. We would definitely work with Hannah again in the future.”
“Jourdi took such great care of our two cats and little pup! They were super attentive to their needs, communicative, and left our house in great shape. I definitely want to keep working with them!”
“Marisol is fantastic. Had a trip out of town for a night & she sent pictures of my two dogs keeping me in the loop with communication. Have a vacation coming up in the future and I’m utilizing her services again. Highly recommend.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing and took really good care of my Furbaby. This was our first experience with house sitting, using someone who wasn't a family member. However, from the first video chat, we knew that Mary was the best person for the job. She has such a sweet and calming demeanor, which helped to ease all of our nervousness. Mary sent us daily updates and pictures, which showed how happy and at ease my dog was. Mary went above and beyond and we are forever grateful to her. Mary is officially a part of our family and we will definitely be using her for all of our future trips.”
About: I've had dogs since i was a child. Your pets are your family members and deserve to be cared for by someone who will pay attention to them, play with them and follow your instructions via food and snacks. Dogs make my heart happy. I'm currently working from home so I have the time for long walks, outside play sessions and light grooming. I am available at any time with at least a days notice. I give your pets all of my attention and time in your home along with cuddles. Food preparation, snacks, hydration, I will follow your instructions to the letter. Your pets deserve to be safe and taken care of. If you have a cat that likes crocheted toys, I'm your person!
“Jacqueline was able to help us out last minute and come house sit our pup. She was very communicative and sent updates throughout her stay. We came home to a clean house and happy puppy.”
“Amberleigh was very attentive to my cats and provided me with frequent updates throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. She also voluntarily tidied up around my apartment including cleaning my hardwood floors and wiping surfaces. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals in my life, from Rabbits and Birds to Cats and Dogs. My family always had a number of pets for me to look after. I am an experienced dog walker who owns two energetic Labrador retrievers. I have also cared for my brother's dogs over the years, one of which was highly reactive. I do very well with big dogs 70+ lbs, as that is what I currently own but am more than capable with smaller breads as well. I have a full-time day job that keeps me busy, but I am looking to do some side jobs to reduce stress from my day job. I do have two dogs of my own who I care for, but this shouldn't deter me from being to help care for yours. As the owner of two high-energy dogs, I know when they need to be sent to their own corners after playing too hard. I have two large kennels on hand for timeouts if need be. I prefer to use a hands-free leash with a tragic handle on a walk for added support control on walks. I do not use retractable leashes as they are not recommended by trainers or vets.
“Christina was great with Chuck! He got so much love, care and attention. Chuck is sweet but also an energetic not fully trained nippy puppy, so not easy! Christina is reliable, caring and skilled at taking care of dogs and goes the extra mile to treat them like her own. He got plenty of love attention and exercise. We got cute pictures of him throughout the week. It was a nice bonus that she got our mail and packages, watched our house and left our house clean and tidy. I would recommend her to friends, neighbors and family that needs pet care.”
About: Hi my name is Katie! I am a high school teacher currently off for summer vacation! I am looking to fill some of my off days with some animal time!! I have been helping friends and family with their pet care for the past 6 years. I have experience walking dogs, doing drop ins (for cats and dogs!), and have done many overnight stays. I am incredibly responsible and reliable. I am known for being early to everything, and if anything ever comes up, I will give notice with reasonable time for you to make alternate arrangements. I love dogs and would love to walk and play with yours! I prefer dogs that are small to medium sized because I have had the most experience with them. I know that dogs are family, and it is my goal to provide the best care for your family, while also making your busy life a little bit easier! I am currently on summer break, so I am available during the day on weekdays! With enough advance notice, I am also available to help on the weekends. I normally care for pets in their owners homes. I find they are most comfortable there! I can complete water and food fill ups during drop ins, clean up after pets if necessary, and any other services requested by the owner.
About: Back in 2010 I began working at petsmart in their petshotel. It was my dream job and I loved every minute of it. I cared for the pets during the day. Fed and bathed them. I have two dogs of my own as well as two michevious cats. I currently work at a daycare during the week so I will have the weekends available. Anytime during the day is good. Just send me a message. I live in a apartment so I cannot care for you pet here but I can come to your home. Make sure you pup has lots of fun and cuddles

Over 5 pet parents in Holmes have booked house sitting
Holmes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rozz is absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. There are the basics you hope for: punctuality, sweetness with your dog, good communication, attention to detail etc, but Rozz went well above and beyond that, dealing with a dog emergency with clarity, kindness, and an assured thoroughness that truly allowed us to trust that our dog was in very capable hands. Excellent communication throughout our 5 days away, flexibility in scheduling, a positive approach even when obstacles presented, and generally just an incredibly lovely person. Rozz left the house clean and cared for as well. We look forward to many more Nomi sits with Rozz!! Highly recommend!
Maia was amazing from start to finish! She accommodated a last-minute booking and was an absolute dream dog sitter! She took great care of both our giant pup and our home. We were nervous after 5 years of not using a sitter, but I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable she made us feel!
Our experience with Robyn was all I could ever hope for in a pet sitter and more! She is communicative, enthusiastic, kind, caring, and responsible. We got so many beautiful photos of our dog, Teddy, looking so happy and well cared for while we were away, along with very frequent updates on what they were doing and what was planned for later in the day. Robyn had so many fun activities planned for Teddy, I don't think he even realized we were gone, he was so busy and having such a great time! I felt at ease from the moment I met Robyn, and I did not worry once while Teddy was in her care. There is literally not one thing she could have done better. She went above and beyond to make our Teddy feel loved and spoiled. We are so grateful to have found Robyn and plan to book many future services with her in the future!
Nate is a fantastic person to watch your dogs. He sends photos and videos and treats them so wonderfully. We are very thankful that he was able to care for them. We have a young dog and senior dog and he met both of their needs! He asks good questions and goes above and beyond.
Our dogs were sick and our plans changed, but Taylor understood and was extremely flexible. She took great care of our pups! She gave them medicine a few times a day, made sure they were eating, and provided updates. Taylor is wonderful at what she does. We highly recommend her!
This was the second time Cartier sat for us but the first time she stayed in our home. She took amazing care of our senior animals (2 dogs and 2 cats), even with complicated feeding and med instructions. She also takes and sends amazing photos every day, which is greatly appreciated.
