“Victoria went above and beyond for our girls! She kept the schedule she indicated, followed all of our (many) instructions and kept us informed of medical emergencies when needed. I would recommend her for any pet sitting!!”


“Allison watched our Bowie while we were out of town for an extended time for our wedding! She was such a good sitter and could tell from initial meet and greet that she has tons of experience! She kept us updated the whole time and reached out when our boy was acting a little off and we were able to solve the problem from afar! She also went above and beyond to clean the house for our return which was so nice to come home to! I am an anxious dog mom and I have already booked with Allison for another date after our great experience!”


“Kelli was wonderful!! We had her stay with our dog for a few nights when we were on vacation. Kelli came over prior to her stay to meet us and make sure we had all our questions asked. It was clear our dog really liked Kelli and she was always great with communication. We’ll be sure to book her again!!”


“Anthony and Mackenzie took great care of our three dogs. Pictures and videos daily. It was nice to know they were in Great care. We were able to enjoy our time away.”


“Deborah was great! And our Golden Retriever Frankie loved her. She took great care of him, and our house, while we were gone. We'll definitely reach out to her again when we need great care for Frankie!”


About: I grew up always having cats and being a total cat lady, however after bringing home my first dog ever I realized how much I absolutely love and adore dogs! I have experience with having a dog of my own (sadly he went on to the rainbow bridge), plus caring for my sisters dog who I jokingly say is my part time dog. I also have experience with all the dogs I’ve gotten to meet through Rover. I would love to have a dog of my own again but I don’t have the proper time or space to have one right now, so I’m looking to get my fix by spending time with your dog! I’m currently available any time of day on weekends and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies since I work until 4pm during the week. Im very attentive to your pets needs and making sure they are comfortable this includes lots of outdoor time with nice walks, and giving them lots of love and attention(not to mention treats!). :) I work until 4pm during the week, and I’m off on weekends. So I’m available anytime on weekends, and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies! I live in an apartment with 2 cats so any pets that stay with me need to be familiar and friendly with cats. I do have a spare bedroom that I can use for separation purposes however prefer to be familiar and good around cats if I will be watching in my home. If house sitting I will be available to stay after work and will send lots of pictures and updates along the way.

“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”


“Emily was amazing with our two pets! We got lots of updates and photos and came home to two very happy and relaxed animals after a week away. We've already got Emily booked to come back!”


“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”


“Lisa did a great job. She looked after my cat and two dogs. She stayed at my home while we were gone. First vacation we have been on in a few years. I don't think my dogs missed us. Trustworthy and did as she promised. Would use her again”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I have had two dogs growing up that I always took care of. I continue to take care of friends and families dogs. I currently work remote full time which gives me the availability to work anywhere. I am free in the morning and afternoons before and after work. I always make sure the animals will stick to their routine if they have one. I always try to play with the animals and entertain them as well.

“Christina was able to come through in a pinch for me and Cora! She was so understanding and accommodating. She made sure to communicate about how she was doing and was extra sensitive to Cora’s extra needs, making sure to get her medication on time! I would definitely have her come stay with Cora again.”


“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”


“We were gone for a week and Isabel did a fantastic job with caring for our dog and home! I could not have asked for anything better! She communicates well and most importantly, loves animals! I will not hesitate to schedule with Isabel again!”


“Vicki was a wonderful dog sitter and I had a great experience with her watching Ember. Vicki was punctual, caring, and attentive to my dog’s needs and everything was handled with love and professionalism. Vicki went above and beyond to ensure Ember felt safe and loved, making my time away stress-free. I highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be calling on Vicki again in the future!”
