“Sandra was the perfect pet sitter. Our little Sam loved exploring her fenced in yard and playing with her little fur babies. I would definitely recommend Sandra and will be using her again in the future.”
“Alicen was AMAZING with Dan!! Helped us out in a last minute Hail Mary on a Holiday weekend as well!! Could never recommend someone more! Danny played so well with her 2 pups and Alicen kept us very well updated with pictures!!”
“Tre was wonderful, and I know Maisie was very happy staying there!! She sent messages, pictures, and Maisie even came home with a Christmas scarf 🧣 I am so glad that we found Tre; she’s a gem 💎”
“Magdalena is great! I highly recommend. Communication and pictures throughout my pups stay helped me feel more comfortable. And when I dropped my dog off the second time she was SO excited to see Magdalena :)”
“Absolutely the best guy! Pony loved him, we are so thankful we were able to leave for a week and know he was well loved and taken care of by Chase!! Updates with pictures were given everyday. Thank you so much!!!!!!”
“Rachel was fantastic. My dog unfortunately didn’t get along with her cat and we didn't realize that until when I had to drop him off, but she was extremely accommodating of the situation and made sure Max was well taken care of.”
“This is our second time hiring Morgan to dog sit our Yorkie, Max, and he loved it just as much as the first time! Morgan shared daily updates and photos of Max enjoying his time relaxing with them. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

Having raised, owned, and bred dogs—as well as caring for my own dogs and cats—I understand how important a consistent routine is for a happy pet. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can easily accommodate frequent potty breaks, scheduled meal times, mid-day play sessions, and any specialized needs or vet visits. You’ll receive clear daily updates and photos so you can rest easy knowing your pets are comfortable, well-cared for, and never lonely. Flexible WFH Schedule: Working from home allows me to accommodate your pet's exact daily routine—ensuring prompt meal times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, so caring for pups has always come naturally to me! I have two friendly, M-to-L dogs of my own who would love some new furry friends to play with. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing with them outside, getting in some extra belly rubs, or just keeping them company and making sure they feel loved. I also love taking pictures, so you will get plenty of them while you’re away! I work during the day with a fairly flexible schedule and occasionally have the option to work from home, which allows me to be available and spend extra time with your pups. We also have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and burn off some energy! My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their people are away. I know how much our furry family members mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pups! 🐾 I walk my dogs after I get off work (usually around 9a), I stay a bit so they can eat, then go to bed around 11a-12p. My boyfriend gets home around 5p and lets the dogs outside in the yard. When I get up by 7p, I feed the dogs and we sit and play. I let my boys on the couch and in bed with me, they are absolutely spoiled. I don’t have any crates but we have a 3 bedroom house I can put my dogs in if needed. I always enjoy feeding my dogs special and nutritious meals because I’m really into health, so your dog can try some new foods!
“Megan watched my dog Bentley over the 4th of July weekend for the first time. She was flexible and responsive even though my booking was short notice. She stayed in communication during his stay and sent me picture and video updates while he was with her. Bentley enjoyed his time with her and her dog Bear. I would definitely book her again.”
“Bobby and Sandra kept my mind at ease for the complete time they had my dog. They treated him as there own and provided him with an excellent stay. I never imagined I could feel as comfortable leaving my dog with someone but they exceeded all my expectations. They are wonderful people and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
About: This is an animals world, we’re just living in it! Every animal deserves the best live, full of love and treats. I’ve always loved animals my whole life. I unfortunately lost my dog 3 years ago due to old age, ever since i’ve been missing a dogs personality. I want to be able to be around animals without having to own one, since I haven’t had the chance to adopt another dog. I want to take care of other peoples animals and have animals company. Take them out every 2 hours for potty break and zoomies break. Every animals need to get their exercise in! And make sure they’re fed and watered at all times, or when the owner allows the pet to be fed. And can’t forget the treats for being such good buddies!
About: I’ve been petsitting through Rover and for friends/family for a long time! I’ve handled puppies/kittens, low and high maintenance animals, different types of living situations, and more! I am a volunteer at Best Friends Animal Society, and I’ve grown up around pets my entire life. Currently, I run a nonprofit that keeps me Wednesday-Sunday from 12-6, but I can always go and check on a pet if needed during that time! In my home, I am very open to just about anything the pet wants to do, such as laying with me in bed, going on drives, etc., and I always check with people before sitting to make sure I respect the rules they have for their pets.
About: Been an animal lover all my life. Unfortunately I've developed an allergy to cats but most dogs I do well with. I've worked in grooming and an animal hospital in the past. My daughter and I love sitting fur babies for our friends and family. My schedule is pretty open as I work part-time time and remote. If we could we'd have a house full of animals, which is why I'm eager to get to know and spend time with yours. A mini vaca away, with lots of love, from our family to yours. I'm mostly open, work part time. Would prefer boarding with me over house sitting, depending on the breed. But which ever you fancy. If you have a breed my allergies don't tolerate very well, house sitting would be the best option. But I also have other hosting options like two separate garages, one that is dedicated to the dogs. With fans and heaters depending on the season as well as a big fenced in backyard. We can discuss schedule/routine that works best for you and your fur baby, to meet their needs. I'm responsive and operate with complete transparency if any issues arise to foster a safe and trusting atmosphere for a positive experience. Assuring you peace of mind and to build a good shared experience for everyone evolved. We have a spacious home with large fenced in yard and two dogs of our own (who are treated and up to date with all their veterinary visits), to play and keep your fur baby company. One of mine in particular is very accustomed to socializing with others from doggie daycare, as he used to go as a pup. I can also easily keep our dogs separate upon request, and crate any fur baby if needed. A bit OCD so I keep a neat, clean, tidy home so you can be assured a clean and safe environment for your pets stay. We have two separate garages, one dedicated to the dogs. As well as doggie Gates for large or small dogs. So there are multiple options to suit a variety of situations.
About: I’ve loved dogs forever but didn’t started caring for any until we got our first family dog when I was about 6 years old. Since then, I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family; but I’m excited to expand my horizons! I have class M, W, F in the am, but other than that my schedule it totally flexible! Other than the occasional trip home to Texas, I am pretty much always available. My roommate has one female dog that is neutered and crate trained. I have a fenced in balcony with turf and a very nice dog park in my neighborhood. I would love to take your dog(s) on fun long walks to the park or even in the trails down by my house.
