Bethany did a wonderful job with our dogs. One of our dogs is known to be uppity and Bethany was patient with her. She finally won her over after several days which is quite an accomplishment. Bethany communicated well with pics and video often over the two weeks. We truly appreciate her care and attention to our animals and our home.

Trisha took excellent care of my very timid & shy cat, Stella, as well as my house. She sent twice daily updates along with pictures. My girl seemed very content & chill upon my return. Would definitely recommend!

This is our 2nd time having Sarah pet sit for our setter/lab mix. We are grateful to be able to get away and know Molly is comfortable in her own home and well taken care of.

About: I’ve dog & cat sat for family & friends. This includes giving medicine , helping handicapped dogs, and feeding amongst other parts of their daily routine. I’m currently working partime so sitting is just on the side but my work schedule does not interfere , i don’t mind working and coming home to someone else’s dog in the slightest ! I treat everyone’s animals like my own. I have a cat and have had dogs in the past, i keep them on a routine & make sure their needs are taken care of at all times.

Heather was absolutely fantastic! She was extremely communicative from start to finish and has such a warm, positive personality. Our Boston Terrier, Lukin, is usually very anxious, but he did great with her — which says a lot! She took wonderful care of both him and our house while we were away. We really appreciated her updates and photos which kept us at ease. I can’t recommend Heather enough — she’s truly awesome and we will definitely be booking her again!

Chris was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog Bailey and even brought her dog over to play. Her daily pictures and updates were very welcome and gave us a sense of well-being while we were away. We'll definitely use her services again.

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

Imani is fantastic. Completely trustworthy. Cared for our three dogs and pet hamster, with dogs sizes ranging from 15 - 80 pounds. She kept us up to date with photos each day and kept our outdoor plants alive during a hot week. House was immaculate after a week away and all pets were happy and well cared for. Can’t recommend Imani enough.

Rachel was courteous, professional, prompt, provided updates, adorable photos and truly gave us peace of mind as she took care of our needy pup. She gave medication, prepared meals for our finicky one, understood her needs and gave her lots of attention. When she could tell our dog wasn’t quite the same, she reached out to see what she could try to offer comfort. We have been blessed to use Rachel before and know we will reach out again! With our appreciation and thanks for going above and beyond!

Stella was great. Came out before hand for a "meet and greet" with the dog. During her stay, she provided updates on how my dog was doing. She also administered his medicine as I had asked. I came back to a clean home. Would use her again.
