“Ann did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent the greatest daily recaps with multiple pictures, which was *so* appreciated. I’d give 6 stars if I could. My boy was so happy and relaxed when I got home thanks to her care and attention.”


“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”


“Megan was great dog sitting for me! I received daily photos and updates. It was great to go on vacation with peace of mind that my dog would be in great hands!”


“Rebecca did an amazing job with our very reactive pup! Our dog is very sweet with humans but is very reactive towards other dogs, making walking her understandably challenging. Rebecca watched her for a week and had no issues during this time. Would definitely recommend!”


“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”


“Emily is amazing and so sweet! This was our first time using Rover and I was so nervous—we always get nervous leaving our babies, but Emily made this trip less stressful for us. I would definitely book with her again! Our dogs were well taken care of, as well as our home! She followed all instructions to a tee and even went above and beyond! We also appreciated her sending lots of updates, photos, & videos!”


“Allison was absolutely incredible… She kept me informed of how the doggies were doing and listened to all of the details I gave and made sure they were well taken care of. When my trip extended a day, she was able to accommodate me easily. She was easy to work with and flexible. I really enjoyed her and would love to have her back again and the dogs loved her.”


About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little and adopted a little tuxedo cat two years ago. I have worked for various humane societies and watched family and friends pets for the past 8 years. Happy to watch dogs or cats! I will be available full-time from June through early August, so pet care will be a central part of my daily routine. With a very flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize each pet’s unique needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship. I'm committed to giving pets consistent attention and care throughout the day and adapting to any specific routines they may already have. Since I’m not able to have pets in my apartment, I provide care in my clients' homes. I focus on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just spending quality time together. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

“Ryn was so incredibly kind and accommodating with a last minute booking. She came to meet the dogs beforehand, and then spent the day with them while we were out of town. She kept us updated and left our home exactly as she left it. Would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Ryn!”


“I cannot recommend Alexandria highly enough for her outstanding care of my dog, Topi. I needed help on very short notice, and Alexandria stepped in without hesitation. She was absolutely wonderful with Topi, showing great affection and attentiveness. Topi was happy and well-cared for during my absence, and it was such a relief to know she was in such capable hands. Thank you, Alexandria, for your exceptional care and kindness!”


“This is one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had… Her communications were amazing- she took tons of photos showed concern and questions when the dogs acted in a way she wasn’t sure… Just in general she treated them as if they were her own. She was a phenomenal sitter and I will definitely use her again!”


“Brittany is the absolute best. When I leave my dog with her, I know he is in the best hands and is happy and well cared for. Definitely recommend.”


“Kelly was great! She took great care of our dogs and even gave them all the walks and cuddles. She sent daily updates and our dogs/house was in pristine shape once we got back. Thanks so much for being so awesome and taking care of our dogs while we were away. Will totally use her again!!!”


“Christal was absolutely amazing with my puppy! I felt so safe leaving my new puppy for the first time with her. Great at sending updates and pics which I appreciate! And she was super flexible when my travel plans got delayed. 10/10 would recommend :)”


About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.

“Emma took great care of our cat throughout the week. She kept us up to date and we felt great knowing our cat was in capable hands during the week.”


“Kristin did an amazing job watching my two pups. Appreciated the regular pictures and updates while out of town. My pups truly seemed to enjoy their time with Kristin.”


About: I’ve been a proud dog mom my whole life, caring for my two pups throughout their lives, gaining hands on experience with everything from daily routines to unexpected 3am situations. Over the years, family and friends have regularly entrusted me with their pets, whether for a quick visit or extended stays. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. You can count on me to provide attentive, realistic me and compassionate care with plenty of exercise and affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy and safe so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time but have the flexibility of working from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Even on days I’m in office, I’m available in the evenings and early mornings for walks, feedings and check-ins. I’m also completely free on weekends, making me a great fit for overnight stays, longer visits, or more active care when needed. I plan my schedule with plenty of time built in to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Wherever I’m caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priority. I take time to understand your pets needs, routine and personality. I make sure to respect your space while maintaining your pets normal routine to help them feel secure and comfortable.

“Amanda was great to work with!! We have two very shy puppies and Amanda went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. She gave medication correctly. She also left the house clean and tidy. We look forward to having her back!”

I can’t think of a better person to watch and care for your pet when you are gone or just to get them some exercise if you have a busy schedule. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else as a dog sitter!!”
