“I cannot stress enough how amazing our dog sitter Sue is! From the moment we met her, we knew our huskies Hulk and Smash would be in excellent hands. Sue is not just a professional in the truest sense of the word, but she genuinely cares for our dogs as if they were her own. Her attention to detail and her ability to ask the right questions truly impressed us. During our time away, Sue sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of our dogs playing and having fun, which made us feel at ease knowing they were in good hands. She was also very communicative and kept us informed about everything going on with our dogs. What impressed us most about Sue was her commitment to taking care of our dogs exactly as we would. She was attentive to their needs, kept them on their regular schedule, and even made sure to give them plenty of love and attention while we were away. It was clear that Sue went above and beyond to make sure that Hulk and Smash felt comfortable and safe during their stay. Overall, we could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Sue. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for our dogs truly made all the difference. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter who will treat their furry family members like her own. Sue truly is one of the best dog sitters we have ever had the pleasure of working with.”
“Sunny waits for Mia every morning and is her new favorite person!! She is sweet and kind to him, can handle his exuberance and she's really flexible and communicate thoroughly letting me know she's on her way. I couldn't be happier with Mia and an so grateful I found her!”

“Kavya was great with my three little monsters, who each have very distinct and different personalities. They all loved her though! I was very comfortable having Kavya in my home. She gave thorough updates and sent lots of pictures. Fantastic pet sitter! Will be keeping her on speed dial for future needs!”


“Jackie is AMAZING! She is fun and empathetic. She accommodates the needs of the individual dogs with ease. My dogs love her and are safe and happy with Jackie! I am incredibly GRATEFUL to Jackie because I unfortunately was not so lucky with a dog walker found on Rover before her.”

“Mary was absolutely amazing with my dogs! From the start, she was involved, attentive, and incredibly loving. She followed every single instruction to a T and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Her communication was top-notch — I got regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages that showed she genuinely cared about my pups. It was clear they were not only well cared for, but truly loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and reliable, Mary is the one. I will 100% be booking with her again!”
“Abby is wonderful! She knows how to take good care of dogs and guinea pigs. Our pitbull mix Hazel got along with her really well. The guinea pigs were kept clean and healthy. I highly recommend her.”

“Kelsey is reliable and takes great care of our pup. She has a great response time and has always come through for us and taken great care of our dog and our home when we’re away. Very helpful and professional, I would highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was little. Not only have i learned responsibilities but my deep love and compassion for animals grows every day! I have a bulldog of my own and i couldn’t imagine a life without him. I’m working almost full time but i can make time most weekdays to stop and take care of your pets needs.

“Hailey is the absolute best fur baby sitter ever! She loves our animals, and takes excellent care of our very old pup who sometimes needs a little extra TLC! She is easy to work with and great at communicating before and after! We will be booking her again if she's available in the future!”


About: I have hands on experience caring for both puppies and older dogs. I currently help raise and train our own puppies, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines, potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I’ve also pet sat for older dogs and understand the importance of patience, comfort, and keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I genuinely love being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Making sure they get plenty of attention, care, and a calm, loving environment while you’re gone 🤍🐾 Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a full-time nanny during the weekdays, typically finishing in the mid afternoon, and I’m often already in homes with pets as part of my nanny work. I also have my own puppy, so caring for animals is a daily part of my life. I’m used to managing a busy but flexible routine, so I’m able to fit pet care in consistently and reliably around my nanny schedule and personal responsibilities. In clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their normal environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication (if needed), and any specific house rules. I make sure to keep things clean and consistent so pets feel secure while their owners are away. For dogs, I prioritize walks, playtime, and structure so they stay happy and exercised. For cats, I focus on a calm presence, litter box maintenance, feeding, and giving attention based on their personality and comfort level. If a pet were ever in my home, they would be treated like part of the family - with a calm, safe space, lots of attention, and a routine that keeps them comfortable and stress-free 🤍🐾

Jackie is AMAZING! She is fun and empathetic. She accommodates the needs of the individual dogs with ease. My dogs love her and are safe and happy with Jackie! I am incredibly GRATEFUL to Jackie because I unfortunately was not so lucky with a dog walker found on Rover before her.

Allisa did a wonderful job with our cat Jeri, and also keeping water, food, and litter properly maintained. She was extremely professional and respectful at our meet and greet which put me at ease because I had never hired a pet sitter before, and was somewhat nervous about it. She followed our instructions exactly as we requested and maintained excellent communication. She went above and beyond when we had received packages on our porch and she placed them in our house. I highly recommend Allisa and would definitely hire her again.
