“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
“Jacob was great! He took great care of Chuck for me and even did extra stuff around the house I didn't ask for. The house looked better than when I left and was very clean. I will for sure look to use Jacob again in the future!”
“Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!”
“Tally was great with my chocolate lab who has separation anxiety. She was attentive and gave him lots of love and hugs. My house was immaculate when I came home after a 4 day trip. Highly recommend Tally!”
“Anthony was outstanding. He made sure to send us updates frequently and made our pets feel very loved. We returned home to everything in order and the pets happy.”
About: What sets me apart is how attentive and patient I am with every pet I care for. I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level, so I take my time to make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for during every visit. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in, I treat each pet like they’re my own and make sure they get not just the basics, but genuine care, affection, and attention. Pet parents can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and consistent every time. I am currently with a lot of free time, trying to stay active and what better way to go for walks than with a dog. I’m very attentive, patient, and reliable. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during every visit.
“Angelina is very kind and advised me every time the dogs were given their meds which is my major concern. Left the house very clean and even washed the dog food bowls. I was told her she could leave at 6pm and we would be home at 10pm but she didn’t want to leave the dog along so she left around 9pm so they would not be left alone. I will rebook her”
“Janet house sat and watched our crazy 5.5 month old puppy and our 13 year old dog while we were on vacation. She stayed at our house and every day she sent us updates and pics of our girls. Our older dog takes quite a few meds and Janet was diligent with all of them. Our neighbors reported seeing lots of walks and attention. The girls were looking happy and well when we got home. Our home was clean as well. We would definitely book Janet to stay with the girls again!”
“I can't say enough great things about Daryll Ann! She's amazing and I highly recommend her if you're looking for a loving home to board your dog. Daryll Ann is a compassionate, friendly, animal lover who showed every interest in making sure that both Winston AND myself were comfortable. She obviously knows her stuff when it comes to caring for animals (she's in the veterinary field) and she knew every question to ask prior to Winston's stay. Thanks again!!”
“Olivia was perfect in every way! Especially because it was my first time leaving my puppy for an overnight trip. Her communication, presence and genuine care allowed me to feel confident going away. She also made it feel so natural to synch up with the rhythm and schedule my pup and I had going which I have found rare, but so essential. And he is a growing 5-6 month old puppy. I will absolutely reach out to her first the next time I go away or need a sitter for my pup.”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my cat and dog! She was very communicative each day, sending pictures, answering questions, and providing updates. She is a great option for your pet care needs and will be my go to rover going forward! Thanks Vanessa!”
“Chase was such a good sitter for my dog! I was initially worried because I was looking for someone last minute, but Chase put my worries at ease. He was communicative with me when I was away, kept the place clean, and also watered some plants! Would definitely hire Chase again.”
“We hired Marcus for house sitting and he was awesome! It’s our first time leaving our dogs for a long time under someone else’s care and instead of being anxious, we felt at peace. Our furbabies loved him, even our senior dog who’s shy and sensitive. We highly recommend Marcus and will definitely hire Marcus every time we’re out of town 😊”
“Our cat Pip loves Tara!! Knowing he was well cared for made it easier to relax and enjoy our trip. We appreciate her frequent updates and photos, which help us feel connected while we’re away. Tara is very trustworthy and easy to work with - she always goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!!”
About: I've cared for family dogs most of my life which has left me with an abundance of experience with caring for dogs. I had a beautiful 13 year old pug, who I was the main caregiver for, who passed away in 2021 due to cancer. Since then, I have slowly begun to care for other people's dogs and I am absolutely loving it! My availability is currently open so it is a great time to book me! My general availability is: Mondays 8:30am-8:30pm Tuesdays-Fridays 8:30am-8:30pm Saturdays 10am-7pm Sundays 10am-7pm If your dog is more like your baby, I've got you both covered! I provide quality pet care and attentiveness to your dogs' overall wellbeing and safety. I have an overflowing supply of love and patience for animals! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old and have always loved being around animals. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and giving pets the attention they need. I treat every pet like my owm and truly enjoy spending time with them. Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule because I’m currently on summer break and have a very open availability. I do work a part-time job, but I still have plenty of free time throughout the week to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and care. In the fall, I’ll be taking online college classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to continue being available for pet sitting and drop-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I love making part of my routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to pets at all times and make sure they are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. I also make it a priority to give pets lots of love, patience, and attention so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. I respect clients’ homes, keep everything tidy, and communicate regularly with updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Roni was a lifesaver after I had a last minute cancellation. We were able to meet and establish a dog-sitter relationship quickly and efficiently. Roni was communicative and sympathetic in a stressful moment for me. My dog, who can be slow to warm up with stranger, accepted Roni quickly. They followed instructions well and I’m excited to have such a good option next time I go on a trip.”
“Our first time with Abigail as Zoey’s roommate for a week. We couldn’t have asked for s better experience. Abigail kept us up to date with photos and texts. We came home to a clean house, a happy dog and she even even laundered the sheets and remade the guest bed. Bonus is she is a student so she was home with Zoey most of the time. Definitely recommend her.”

Alexis was amazing! I've always done check-ins and never used house-sitting, and Alexis was so helpful and responsive during the booking process, along with the meet-and-greet and planning process. She also communicated frequently during my trip, and as a bonus, she made a gorgeous drawing of my sweet pup, and left it as a surprise. My next house/pet sitter WILL be her!
Gretchen was fantastic with my dog, Marshall. It was immediately clear that she has a genuine love for animals and truly enjoys spending time with them. Marshall took to her quickly, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She took him on nice long walks, gave him plenty of attention, and did a wonderful job keeping him happy and comfortable while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive she was to his routine and needs. Gretchen was also incredibly respectful of my home and left everything spotless. It’s not always easy to find someone who is both an excellent pet sitter and such a considerate house guest, but she was both. I would absolutely trust Gretchen with Marshall again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and responsible pet sitter.
I am so thankful for Christine's care. She is very kind, communicative, and reliable. When I needed someone last minute, she was ready to go and super helpful. Christine made my dog feel reassured and loved while I've been away. Thank you so much for all your care💖
This was the first time we used Jasmine as a dog sitter and the only thing I wish would be different is that we’d found her sooner. We were in a pinch with time, booking close to the last minute, but Jasmine came through amazingly. She was prompt to the meet and greet and asked great questions, listened and was clear in her communication. While we were gone, she gave us updates and let us know if anything happened of note. Our dog had an upset tummy and we were able to work through it and she got him feeling better soon. She also took great care of our house. Hope we get her to watch our pup again!!
Justine is very professional, caring and thorough. She took excellent care of Danso and followed all instructions perfectly. She went above and beyond and i felt more than comfortable with time she spend watching after Danso and my house. She sent lots of detailes updates with pictures and video. Highly recommend and will be booking her again.
Trent and his wife were absolutely fantastic with my two boys Astro & Adonis! Astro is my senior and Adonis is still a puppy but super big and super reactive with other people and animals. Trent and his wife made sure to introduce themselves very gently and were so amazing! Both Astro and Adonis absolutely loved them and all their care. I always worry for my boys but I was so relieved leaving them both under Trent's supervision. I highly recommend Trent for anybody who has large dogs like mine. He was so responsive and friendly + extremely accommodating. Thank you both!!!
