“I’ve booked Melody multiple times now, and I’ll keep coming back because she’s simply the best! She’s attentive, caring, and goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are happy and comfortable. Her communication is excellent! I always get updates and photos that put my mind at ease. It’s such a relief knowing my pets are in such capable and loving hands. Highly recommend!”

“Joann is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our two huskies, and they absolutely adore her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, sent us pictures and kept us updated with wonderful report cards that showed just how happy and well cared for our pups were. You can tell she truly loves animals, and it shows in the way our dogs respond to her. We are so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“I procrastinated and needed a last minute a pet sitter for my cat during the holidays. Annemarie was really accommodating to my needs on such a short notice, willing to even do a meet and greet on the day of booking since I had to leave the next day. Overall, Annemarie is a wonderful and trustworthy person who will send update pictures and videos of your four-legged best friend while following the notes you left to a T. Definitely recommend.”

Amy R.

“This was my first time leaving my cat for more than 48 hours, so I was extremely nervous to say the least. Mackenzie did such a great job at communicating with me, sending photos and detailed updates. It really put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without feeling extremely guilty the entire time. The best part was, my cat actually liked her. He doesn't play with just anyone and the fact he looked forward to seeing her and interacting with her was such a relief. Will definitely have Mackenzie back!”

Alina S.

“Sophie did an amazing job. We have not left our animals with anyone before and we were anxious. She kept us well updated and went above and beyond. We were able to enjoy our vacation and our fur babies seemed to as well! Will definitely rebook in the future:)”

“This was the first vacation where I felt comfortable leaving my pets! We really appreciate how much attention Elizabeth put into caring for our dog. She left great feedback about our her condition throughout the day and communicated any concerns she had immediately. My dog LOVES Elizabeth too! Halfway through our trip we began planning other ways Elizabeth could care for our dog in the future!”

About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.

“Max is our go-to sitter! So communicative, always sends pictures, and makes sure our cats are good to go before he leaves. Can’t recommend him more!”

“100 out of 5 stars! Tanja watched our cats while we were out of town for a week, and she was absolutely amazing. Leaving our pets and home in the care of a complete stranger was nerve-wracking at first, but when Tanja came to meet our cats, she immediately put us at ease. She took notes, asked thoughtful questions, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. We could tell right away that they’d be in great hands while we were away. Even our shy cat loved her by the middle of the week! She went above and beyond by watering our garden, bringing in mail and packages, and handling the trash (even after a raccoon got into the trash!). Her daily photos and notes were so reassuring, especially since this was the longest we’ve ever been away from our cats. We came home to a spotless house and very happy cats. We’ll definitely be using her again anytime we go out of town and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: Growing up around dogs and having two of my own, I understand the separation anxiety of leaving them at home for long periods or for vacations (been there!). I also understand if you have specific lists of needs as well (been there too!) So I will ensure your doggo is well loved and you get as much contact from me as you need to feel comfortable. I am currently a grad student, so most of my days are spent at home or being active outside (I like walking, hiking and I run 5-6x/week). This makes my days very flexible with what I can fit into my schedule. I can guarantee they will fit right in. If we book an appointment, that means my time is now theirs! I can stay over if your pet likes their home, or I have a fenced yard with a large doggie door for in/out access. I also have a separate doggie couch we can chill on and they are welcome to get on the bed at night (unless you have a no-furniture rule!) I do pick up backyard waste wherever they stay. It's no fun playing in poo...or coming home to a yard full of it! I just had to say goodbye to my beloved chocolate lab/vizsla from cancer who was a tripod, so your doggo would have the run of the house. This also means I can give medication and look after dogs that need extra care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. I took care dogs of family and friends, I love spend time with them, my mom in Colombia has a Pet shop and I have the experience in grooming with her. I’m part time job, my schedule is weekends and weekdays in the afternoon, on weekends I am available all weekend any time will be possible I don’t have a fenced yard but I love walk and I could walk with your dog and spend time with them, playing. I have a cat and dog Teddy and Chessy they are friendly with all animals

“Michaela is one of the best Rover’s I have ever had. She is so genuine, responsive, attentive, understanding, etc!!!! I have unfortunately had to cancel last minute and she never seems upset or bothered by the circumstances. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Michaela for being so sweet to our fur babies!!!”

About: I currently care for an English Bull Terrier that loves people more than anything else, and is not great with dogs. She has taught me the importance of watching body language, getting ample exercise, taking safe walks to avoid other dogs, and giving all the snuggles needed. I am very aware of dogs needs and keeping distance on leashes because of her. While I am used to her needs, at this time I am not looking to care for more aggressive or hard to walk dogs. I have been around dogs all my life, from smell driven hound dogs, to ball driven mixes, and I love to play with and care for them all! I grew up raising rats and I love them too! I know the importance of them having social interaction, clean cages, and preferred food. I am also familiar with guinea pigs and hamsters. I also have fresh water fish tanks and can do water changes, feeding and medicine. I currently don’t have any cats (or other pets) because of my dog, so I am itching to get some quality cat time in as well! I would love the chance to care for your pets too! I am a stay at home mom so I can come check on your pets at the most convenient time for you. If you need someone to come snuggle your pets, let them out, and play with them at anytime of the day, I am your gal! I will make sure your animal has more than just a simple potty break before I leave. They will have love, attention, and exercise. I like to come in the door with a treat (if allowed!) for dogs. I will play ball until the cows come home, or give them all the snuggles and love they need.
