“First time with Violeta and no complaints here! She was thorough with her visit which included plenty of pictures! Easy to communicate. She jumped right in there and had a ball (literally) with the high energy needs of our pup. Will definitely be using her as long as her availability allows.”


“Nikkita was perfect. We needed a walker same day with very little notice and she came through to walk our boy. She was very sweet and communicated everything with us. We would definitely use her again.”


“Destiny is AMAZING! After having to cancel a horrible dog sitter she immediately stepped up to help. My dog absolutely loves her! She is a 10/10 and will always try to book with her first!”

“Gracie watched our two corgis for a week while we were on vacation. She was very professional and came over twice to meet the pups before we left, because it was her first time with them and we usually have family watch them. We received a nice update with pictures each time she came to feed and walk them. They always looked so happy! We felt very comfortable with her and our dogs loved her. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend to anyone.”


“Another great trip knowing our Vader cat was well taken care of! Love getting photos to see he’s ok and Chelsea always makes sure to give him lots of love during her visit. Thanks again for great service and care during our travels!”


“Ashley took great care of our cat Howard over the holidays. She is always dependable and communicative. Appreciated the extra care she took to bring in our mail and packages!! Thanks Ashley!!”


“Thank you so much for taking care of our cats. I love all the picture and the amazing writings about your time with them. We will definitely be booking more for our upcoming trips. I hope thrasher wasn't too mean!!”


“Bria was the best! She was very communicative and made sure to keep us in the loop about the care of our cat. She was punctual, easy to reach, and took the most care of our anxious cat, Mira. We will definitely be using Bria for Mira’s care again in the future. Thanks again!”


“Andre was amazing with our 3 pups for the week with 2 drop ins per day. He was thorough in his updates and it was clear the pups loved him almost immediately. Will definitely use him again for any needs with our trio and would recommend him for anyone looking for help with their pets!”


“I needed a cat sitter very last minute and Jill and Tom came through! I was able to be away from home all week without worry. I got regular updates and photos from each drop in. This was my first time using Rover and needing a sitter in general and it was a very good experience with Jill and Tom that I’d feel confident using again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes and temperaments for over 6 years. Having two of my own rescue fur babies and helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve developed a calm, confident approach that pets respond well to. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like my own—whether that’s administering medication, going on long walks, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I am currently in the process of credentialing for a full-time healthcare job, so I am available at whatever day and times work best for others! I am unable to have dogs at my home, but am happy and willing to follow any instructions you provide me for taking care of your fur baby in their home and environment! I have a car which I can transport them to fun adventures or we can hang out at your house/neighborhood. My 2.5 year old fur baby is also dog-friendly if you’d like your pet to have a dog play companion.

“Yvonne is amazing. The dogs loved her instantly, and she was always on time and kept us informed of everything going on. We highly recommend and appreciate all her efforts and will certainly be using her services again.”


“Jenna kept me updated daily with adorable photos and videos, showing my cats looking happy and well cared for. She took care of everything perfectly—feeding, playtime. She truly went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby felt comfortable and loved.”


“She was so amazing with my puppy and I could tell he was so comfortable in her care. She sent lots of picture updates and came very last minute to save me! We will definitely be using her again.”


About: My fur baby genuinely makes every day of my life better. Pets are the purest form of love and trust, and it is so special that we get to share that! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, including ones that have more than 4 legs 🕷️ reptiles 🦎 or rodents 🐀 I have been pet/house sitting since my teenage years, for neighbors, family members, and by recommendation. I love the outdoors and being active, if your pet does too we are sure to have ourselves an adventure! Young or senior, your pet will have their needs tended to and their senses engaged (or respect their space if they prefer to have less socialization). I currently do freelance work and I can make and set my own schedule. I have a lot of flexibility to tend to your fur babies! I am a very empathetic human, so making sure your animal is happy and healthy fills me with joy! I respect and understand that every fur baby is different and has their own needs and personality. I look forward to listening & learning what your pet loves and needs!

About: Hello! I’m Erin, a full-time high school teacher and pet-sitter on the side. I’m an animal lover and I have been pet sitting for 10+ years. I have a ton of experience caring for a variety of dog breeds and cats, as well as a few smaller animals (rabbits, hamsters, birds, and fish). I’m calm, caring, and patient, with a soft spot for senior animals. I’ve had a great deal of experience caring for my own senior pets (both dogs and cats). I’ve provided care for animals with diapers, medication, and mild mobility issues. I’m also experienced in caring for diabetic cats and administering insulin, as I’ve helped two of my rescues go into remission. I strive to provide the best care possible for pets, and peace of mind for their owners! I’m currently a full time as a high school teacher, so from 7:35-3:05 on week days, I’m usually at work. If I am pet sitting during the week, I head straight to the pets at the end of the work day. On weekends, I am able to dedicate most, if not all, of the day to spending time with your pets. This is also the case over the summer. I provide pet care in client’s homes, per the directions provided by the clients. Prior to caring for your pet(s), I ask that we arrange a time for me to meet your pet(s) and go over all pertinent information regarding their care and safety.
