“Great job. Was able to schedule us with little notice when we had family emergency. She took great care of our stubborn, spoiled cat and I never worried. Sent pics even when he hid under the bed! We will be using Aisha again!”

“Olivia did a wonderful job watching my two dogs. She was considerate of my time, extremely easy and efficient to communicate with, and concise in her use of Rover. Not only did she capture some wonderful pics of my dogs, Olivia gave me an update of each dog upon my return. Because of her experience and knowledge relating to animals, Olivia is a prime candidate for this job. My dogs absolutely adore her and they were always excited to see her walking up to the door. We had agreed on the time, price, and dates prior to her visit, and the Drop-In Visits were for about 2 weeks daily. I would 100% recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a dog sitter or someone to drop in on their pet, and I will 100% be using her services again in the future.”

“Julia was amazing! She sent so many pictures after each visit and a couple sentences about how the cats were doing. I really appreciated this so much and felt so happy my cats were in such good hands. I will totally be booking with Julia again for my next vacation. thank you Julia!!!”


About: I’ve taken care of many of my friends dogs and I recently got a dog of my own. My friends have trusted me to care for their fur babies by walking, feeding and playing with their pets My schedule is completely open at this time. After getting my kids off to school at about 7:30 I have the entire day free to assist with any pet needs. I am always very careful in someone else’s home, I ensure the pets area is tidy before leaving and I like to make sure they are comfortable. When in my home I have designated areas for play and relaxing!

“Chloe popped in for a meet and greet and watched our big guy on relatively short notice when our regular sitter was unavailable. We really appreciated her taking such good care of him while we were out of town and she was definitely Willie-approved!”



“Josh is PAWsome! I have two very rambunctious, very large dogs and he was able to take them on walks and play with them with no issues! He kept me updated and was flexible with scheduling! 10/10 recommend him to others!!”

“Lauren was amazing!! She braved a snowstorm to get to my house to take care of my doggies. Zoey and nova love her very much! I will continue to use her!!”


“Meagan was great! She took excellent care of all of our furbabies while we were away and sent us some of the cutest pictures of them! We highly recommend her, and will book her again when the need arrives.”
