“Russell was fantastic with both of our pups! He was always providing great photos and videos while we were away. He made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pups with him and we would definitely looking to book again when we are away!”

“Justelle did an excellent job of caring for our fur babies while we were gone! She went above and beyond by collecting our mail and watering our plants as well. She kept us well-informed and always responded promptly. We look forward to having her stay at our house again!”
“Shana is extraordinarily wonderful. She took such great care of our almost 14 year old Maltipoo. She was extremely kind and gentle from the very beginning of my contact with her. She always responded to questions and messages, and sent a daily report of how Kelli was doing, which I LOVED!! She also looked after every detail of our house from taking out the trash, to bringing in packages. I absolutely loved her and will use her again without a moment’s hesitation! A real rock star Rover superstar!!!”

“We cannot thank Christiane enough for taking such wonderful care of our senior dog. This was his first time with a new sitter and we could not have found a more suitable, patient and caring person. It also happened to be the perfect storm of an Xfinity outage, power outage and a snowstorm which was all handled so calmly. We also came home to a spotless house. Very grateful!”


“Sophia was great taking care of Howie and house sitting while I was traveling for 4 nights. This was the first time using her so I was a little nervous but she did everything I asked and more. Howie has a specific routine, exercise frequency and prescription diet and she followed that as asked. She provided frequent updates along with pictures and video which I appreciated. I would highly recommend her and have already confirmed the next house sitting job.”

“Valerie came to a last minute call to tend to my Fat Bully Tink lol this was my first time booking an in house sitter and she did so Great !!! ; I really appreciate you Valerie ❤️ and I will be booking again !”

“This was our first time using Dmytro and it was great! Fast and consistent communication, worked well with multiple changes to the visit and sent pictures of two happy dogs!”

“Gabby was awesome! Super communicative even though she correctly assumed I didn’t have service on my camping trip. I really appreciated the updates on the rare moments messages came through. She made great progress with my super shy kitty and I’d definitely recommend her! Thank you!”


“Carissa did a great job with Tater. I had Carissa watch Tater while i was out of town for several days / night and she did a great job caring for him and giving him the attention and getting him the exercise he needed as a one year old Cavapoo. Would definitely use Carissa in the future.”


“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is my attention to detail and consistency. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and have a real appreciation for their energy and personalities. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to fully focus on giving attentive, one-on-one care during each visit. I’m comfortable working with a range of dogs, from playful and energetic to more relaxed, and I enjoy making sure they get the activity, structure, and attention they need. I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent, reliable pet care throughout the day. I’m generally most available for walks and check-ins in the afternoons and early evenings during the workweek. I can also accommodate weekends when needed, especially for recurring clients or advance requests. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality, and I follow all instructions closely to ensure consistent and safe care. During visits, I focus on keeping pets engaged, well-exercised, and cared for, while also respecting the client’s home and keeping things clean and secure. I’m observant of any changes in behavior and will communicate updates regularly for peace of mind. I have recently gained valuable experience caring for high-energy puppies and understand the importance of structure, exercise, and attention.
“Brittany did a fantastic job. I met her on short notice and had her house sit for a week with my two dogs. She took great care of them, kept them active and happy. She went above and beyond and left my place spruced up and even prepped some food and left it in the fridge for my return home, I really appreciate her service and will definitely use her again.”

“Junbo is kind, reliable, and communicative. She took care of my dog and place for over a week. My 7 year old dog loved her from day 1. Junbo followed the care instructions I left, sent lots of photos, and was generous with her time, the long walks, and day adventures she took my dog on. On the way back, my dog looked happy and healthy, and my place was clean and well taken care of. I’m happy to have found a great sitter. Thank you for your great work, Junbo!”

“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”

“Allie was the absolute best with my kitty Izzy! She sends updates and is very thoughtful of what she needs to do for my kitty to make her as comfortable as possible. She is also a very good communicator which is so appreciated. Izzy was happy and thriving when I came home.”

“Li took such amazing care of Kuma and our home! She sent so many photo updates everyday of their walks, playtime, and even nap/rest time! Kuma can be an anxious dog, so we always try to find a sitter comfortable enough to handle her big emotions - Li was very knowledgeable about Kuma’s breed and behavior from previous experience caring for similar dogs, so we were immediately put at ease knowing Kuma was in great hands! Leaving for trips without our dog is always difficult, but Li made it so much easier for us. We will absolutely book with Li again!”

“Dylan did a great job caring for our dog Lacey. He sent us regular updates with photos which put us at ease as we were out of town for several days. He was dependable and easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire him again!”

Erin stayed with my two cats for a few days this summer. She was very responsive when I first reached out to inquire about her availability. Once she was here, she was communicative and sent photos and updates of the cats throughout the stay. She left the house sparkling clean and cats were happy! I will be using her in the future! Thank you!!!

Clipper had a wonderful stay with Carissa! She was efficient to communicate with, quick to respond to my messages, and kept Clipper engaged with fun enrichment activities while we were away. I especially appreciated that she let us know when he ate a little less than his usual amount, which showed she was paying close attention to his well-being. Carissa also shared plenty of photos, giving us peace of mind and letting us see our curious little guy throughout our trip. Thank you, Carissa, for being such a caring companion to Clipper and keeping him happy while we were away. We truly appreciate you!

Jenna was absolutely amazing. Truly the GOAT of cat sitters! She took such wonderful care of my cats and left my home exactly as I had left it. She sent me tons of photos and detailed updates about what the cats were doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brought them toys and took the time to understand each cat’s unique personality, giving them individual attention based on what they were comfortable with. I never even asked her to do that, she just went above and beyond on her own. To top it all off, she wrote the cutest little pet report and left it on the table for me to read when I got home. It was such a thoughtful touch. I could not have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely book Jenna again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely wonderful with cats!

Li took such amazing care of Kuma and our home! She sent so many photo updates everyday of their walks, playtime, and even nap/rest time! Kuma can be an anxious dog, so we always try to find a sitter comfortable enough to handle her big emotions - Li was very knowledgeable about Kuma’s breed and behavior from previous experience caring for similar dogs, so we were immediately put at ease knowing Kuma was in great hands!

Sophia communicated well and provided updates and pictures of Cody. She’s a kind person and likes to have fun with dogs, so I think Cody had a great time with her and her little sidekick Dolly. I felt good that Cody was enjoying his time while we were away, and probably not missing us too much.

James is great! This was his second time caring for our dog & two cats — we came home to pets who, though happy to see us, weren’t desperate to have us home… they were obviously well cared for. James is a good communicator, patient with our sometimes anxious dog, and won over our shy cats. Much appreciated!

Yulia was an incredible sitter for our senior cat Bella. She went above and beyond expectations, making sure Bella received her medications and treatments safely and comfortably, and even gifting Bella a new cat igloo because Bella soiled her old one. Yulia was very communicative, sending us photos and updates of Bella every day, letting us know how Bella was doing. Yulia cuddled with her, played with her, and put on calming cat music for her. Yulia was the ideal house guest, leaving our house just as clean as we left it, and even washing the sheets for us so we could come home to a freshly made bed after a long day of travel. I would recommend Yulia to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, personable, and lovely cat and house sitter.
