“Kristin was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared. She kept us updated while we were away and made the whole experience stress-free. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would definitely book with Kristin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“I was nervous leaving my girl for the first time, but Ray was great and sent updates showing how well she was getting on over at his place. I have no hesitation in saying that I would book with him again if I need to leave town.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were very pleased. Lydia's pricing is extremely reasonable. She sent so many photos and several updates and kept in touch the whole time. I liked the fact that she fed Kai as we requested, and she allowed us to bring a blanket and food dish, and even a few toys. Kai seemed to love playing with her dog, Sunny and the two other dogs who overlapped time with us. I was a little concerned about not having a fenced yard but it wasn't an issue at all. She even did a meet and greet before we booked with her. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!”

“Responded very fast to a last minute stay and was able to accommodate. It was only our second time away from our Laila but this time we went out of the country. Needless to say our nerves went out the window quickly because during drop off Laila felt right at home. We will 1000% book again.”

“This was my first time using the app and I was very hesitant. If you are looking for a sitter and this is your first time, Ladonna and Andy are the BEST choice. Ladonna and Andy were absolutely Awesome at helping me and peanut feel comfortable. They were very good at updating me and sending pictures. Peanut was so happy when I picked her up. They did such a great job with my little one. 100% recommended!!!”

“Kathy has a beautiful home with a great fenced in yard. Oliver seemed so happy and loved when I picked him up, and Kathy was great about sending pictures! I got to see Oliver playing and running around with all the other dogs. Thank you, Kathy! We will definitely be using your services again.”
“Brishuna was great! I loved that she gave updates and sent pictures to keep me informed on how my pup was doing this was my first time being away from him and she made it a great experience I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’m experienced with cats (including neonatal kittens), dogs, amphibians, reptiles, rodents, lagomorphs, arthropods and freshwater fish. Whether your dog is high energy or a couch potato, I am happy and able to meet their unique needs! I’m a full time stay at home mom to two dogs, a hamster, a blue tongue skink and even a human child. I am always available to tend to your pets needs. I can accommodate any requests surrounding caring for your pet in your home. If you’d prefer to bring them to me, they will be given around the clock care and attention with frequent updates. If your pet is not dog-friendly, they will be kept in their own separate room away from my dogs. If they are dog friendly, they are welcome to play with the whole family!
“Valerie was amazing with my Frenchie London. She and her familiy treated him like part of them, they even got him a Xmas present. She was very communicative and send me bunch of pictures and videos during the whole stay. London had a last minute ear infection and she was so kind and responsible with his medications. I will recommend her 10000%. Definitely will be my designated pet sitter.”

“Randi was awesome!! She kept my pup for 6 days and when I picked him up he had been bathed and groomed. Communication was easy. She went above and beyond and made me feel comfortable while I was away. 10/10 would recommend”


“Geri was exceeding kind and accommodating in taking care of my ill-mannered 5-month-old Golden as my family and I turned our attention to a loved one's serious medical procedures. She took extra steps to allow me to limit all my worries to the medical issue at hand. The moment I met her I could see she was more competent with puppies than I and I never had even a fleeting concern about how well Beau was cared for. Even so, she kindly sent video of Beau playing - a welcome momentary distraction from a difficualt day. I am so happy to know I have someone to turn to whenever I may need to be away from Beau for an extended period. She is a true God-send.”

“These three ladies did an amazing job with my very nervous dog! Communication was great, she really enjoyed her time with them! We will rebook anytime we are in the area. Thanks! From Pepper and Family :)”
