Charlie did a wonderful job with my pets. They loved him and acted like they had known him for years! Charlie took notes, sent pictures, and did everything so I had not one concern about my silly golden and talkative cat . The most amazing thing is that he did this on a VERY short notice when I had to go out of town unexpectedly!! He was a true help to me! I would definitely call Charlie again!

Noemi was great at communicating and providing updates while we were gone! Our dog is typically skeptical of new people, but warmed up to her immediately in a way we rarely see. She was willing to do a meet and greet before staying with our pup which put us at easy. I would definitely user her again.

If you are looking for someone to stay in your home and give lots of love and care for your pet, Jillian is just wonderful and I would highly recommend!! What was unique about Jillian is that she stayed in our home the entire time. She followed all of my instructions, provided daily updates and pictures and when she left, she washed the linens and the home was clean and tidy. She may not be able to provide the fast, active walk with your pet, but she is fully capable to walk and play with your pet. I ended up booking another dog walker separately for a more active walk. This arrangement worked perfectly for me and worth the additional cost, as I would rather have my dog be with a loving sitter in my home where my dog was not left alone than having more dog walks. I will definitely be booking Jillian again! She was a joy to work with and I know she made my dog feel safe and loved. Thank you.

What a great team! Mallory and Ian took care of our two shepherds for a week in our home. Daily pic updates were sent. Ian played ball and exercised our pups. We will definitely use them again.for future dog/home sitting.

Ke'vin was very flexible with scheduling when we had to find someone quickly to leave town for a family emergency. With little notice, he came to our house for a first meeting and then started the next day for a overnight sitting service for five days. Our senior dog is always afraid of new people but Ke'vin sent videos of her and it's clear she warmed up quickly to him and really liked him. He gave her meds with no issue. I'm glad we found Ke'vin on Rover!

We arranged a meet & greet with Alex a week ahead of the booking, and our dogs loved him right away! He was great at following all the instructions we provided and kept us updated while we were away. It was clear the dogs enjoyed their time with him, which gave us so much peace of mind. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Jennifer did an awesome job keeping us informed and making the dogs very happy with playtime, lots of naps, and fun treats. It was so relaxing to be able to go away and know our home was watched and the dogs happy to stay in their own beds. If an occasion presents itself again where we need to travel and not have all thee dogs with us we will call her again.

Dahyron was amazing! We were expecting the birth of our first child but obviously things can happen at any minute late in pregnancy. He was super flexible and accommodating with the time frame. We even hung out with him for a while after the induction was pushed back. Our dogs loved him and he provided great updates during our stay at the hospital. Will book again!

Becca was wonderful! She was able to watch Tazer on short notice over a holiday weekend. She sent updates and photos letting me know how he was doing. I have never had someone new watch him before and she said he adjusted well. It was such a relief knowing I could get away and he was in great hands. I will definitely be using her to sit again.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, I’m passionate about giving each one the attention they deserve. My expertise is rooted in working with large dogs, including those with special medical needs. Whether it's a playful pup or a dog with extra care requirements, I’m dedicated to keeping them happy, healthy, and well-loved. Let me bring peace of mind to you and your furry friend! I'm currently available 24/7 to care for your pets whenever you need me! Whether it’s early morning walks, late-night feedings, or emergency care, I’m here to provide reliable, around-the-clock support for your furry family members. No matter the time, you can count on me to be there! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. While I’m not currently able to board pets at my home, I focus on creating a familiar, calm environment for them wherever we are. I’m more than happy to accommodate any special needs, including administering medication, managing anxiety, or providing extra care. You can count on regular updates and pictures so you know your furry friend is in great hands. Plus, I love helping dogs burn off their energy with both mental and physical stimulation! Your pet will feel right at home, and you’ll have peace of mind while you’re away.

Haley and Alex are wonderful with my pets! I have three persian cats and a small dog. They are punctual, diligent in making sure all the pets needs are met and most importantly make sure none of the kitties (indoor only) get out! My dog Daisy loves when they come over to play! We are definitely using them again! Plus the perk is when one is busy, the other one can come! It’s a win win for all!
