“Anne was wonderful! Super responsive, great communication and updates. Our dog loved his time with her. Would 100% recommend and will look to book again with her for our next trip!”
“Luke sent us messages and photos ensuring that our pet was well taken care of, and stayed for the full amount of time even though we gave him the ability to leave early. Would definitely hire him again!”
“Anne has been so great! Today has been my 3rd booking with her. Prior to her care visit with my Jersey Girl, Anne took the time and walked me through everything! She made me feel completely at ease!! I highly recommend Anne!”
“My 75 staffy Brooks loved Kerry from the minute he met her. She kept me updated on how he was doing while I was away. She let know if he ate all his food and if he wasn’t feeling well. It was a last minute booking for 2 visits Friday, 2 visits Saturday and one visit Sunday AM. Kerry was able to help me out which I appreciated after a family member had canceled on me. I recommend!”
“Sarah sent thorough, thoughtful, and funny notes. Our fur babies were treated with lots of love and kindness. We will definitely reach out to Sarah again!”
“Heather was great with my cat and dog. It was my first time having someone other than friends/family take my dog out and she's very timid, but Heather got her to go out and use the bathroom. Would definitely book again.”
“Alyssa was a professional, attentive sitter for our spoiled boy cat while we were away on vacation. We appreciated the timely check-ins, thorough notes, and multiple photos provided for each visit. The house and litter box were clean when we returned, and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to sit for us again.”
“Hannah did great with my pup, Duke. She stopped in twice to check in on him to take him on a walk to potty and to feed him dinner. She is quick to respond and shows up during the agreed upon times. Definitely would recommend.”
“So happy and relieved to have been able to have Riva drop in on my two kitties this past weekend! Was nervous and anxious about being away from my young boy for the first time since his adoption, but Riva quickly put all my anxieties at ease with her great care for my cats. Riva was amazing with her check ins, providing photos and videos. Got back to two very happy cats, so mama is very thankful! Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Madeleine took great care of my elderly cat! She sent updates for each visit and made sure my old lady had everything she needed. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”
“Anna - Marika stayed with Odin dropped in over the November Thanksgiving break. She was prompt was able to follow instruction per Odin's care instructions. She is caring and sends pictures of the visit. Great job!”
“Kari was amazing with our two pups! Our bigger dog is very hesitant around new people and Kari was very patient with him. She also came prepared with a slip lead which was useful when he was nervous about her doing his harness! Ultimately, he warmed up and both dogs showered her with kisses so I think it’s safe to say they loved her visits! We would absolutely request for Kari to watch the pups in the future.”
“Sam went above and beyond - our cat decided she wanted to be a little picky about the food and sam was extremely communicative, helpful and accommodating!”
“We could not recommend them enough! We had a last minute emergency take us out of town, and they stepped up to the plate to stop by our house and care for our cats - so responsive, flexible and always sending us detailed questions and reports, as well as photos. We had no doubt our cats were in the best hands, and we'll definitely book them next time we are headed out of town.”
About: I’ve cared for everything from shy rescue kittens to bouncy Great Danes, senior pups, and pets with special needs. Through years of fostering and rescue work, I’ve learned how to win over the shy ones, match the energy of the playful ones, and make sure every furry friend feels safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or meds, I handle it all with patience, joy, and a ton of belly rubs (or chin scratches for the feline royalty). I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets my full attention when I’m with them. I’m available for visits and walks most weekdays and weekends, and can adjust to fit your pet’s routine! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I create a calm, stress-free environment, follow your instructions closely, and keep a close eye on their comfort. I’m experienced with crating, leash safety, and making sure pets feel secure whether we’re at your home or out for a walk.
“Quynh was awesome! She was super responsive, took care of our little Linus and sent so much documentation along the way. I’d never used Rover before and now because of Quynh i’ll definitely be returning and would love to book with her again. Highly recommend!!”
About: I grew up in a house with 4-5 dogs, training and taking care of them. I have 3 of my own and I’ve helped my friends take care of their dogs as well. I’m a server so my schedule is very flexible. I go on walks daily and spend lots of time in nature so it works perfect to walk some precious dogs during my walks. Hi there! I’m a nature lover and devoted dog enthusiast with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I treat all dogs as if they were my own and am dedicated to meet their needs in any way. Whether thats long walks, cuddles, playtime, giving medication, treats & food. I have 3 dogs myself and love spending my down time with them. Your pet’s happiness, well-being is my top priority. I look forward to taking care of your pup! ❤️🐶

Sophia B.
“Sophia isn’t your normal cat sitter, not in the least. She is on a different level that I never have ever experienced with a pet sitter and I’m astounded. Sophia kept me updated all day and had even spotted something I would have probably brushed off as just a crusty (thanks to Sophia I now know a lot more) but low and behold I took her advice and found out my little guy has a upper respiratory infection and is now getting treatment, she’s got an eye on your cats or kittens health beyond just being fed and given water and I won’t ever go with anyone else.”
