Amy did an amazing job with our handful of 5 cats for a few days of house sitting. Everyone was happy and taken care of, and the house was in good, clean condition.

We were especially happy with Allie's stay with our dog, Leia. Leia is an elderly dog with medical needs. She becomes agitated when she stays by herself overnight. Allie was able to house sit for us and stay with Leia when she was not working or at school. She did an exceptional job caring for Leia. Leia agreed because as Alley left, she wanted to go with her even though we had just gotten back from being gone for two weeks! We will definitely hire Allie again. We recommend her without any hesitation!

A happy animal is the best review a sitter can get but I will try to represent my perspective as well. Mia was a joy to have as a house sitter. My dog tends to go on a hunger strike when we’re gone and she was able to keep her eating in addition to spending quality time with her. Mia’s communication before and during our trip made everything easier. Looking forward to our next booking with her!

Katelyn did a great job watching our two dogs and cat over the weekend! We were thankful that she was able to watch them on short notice (few days in advance). Katelyn was thorough in ensuring she understood their care needs when we meet ahead of time and and throughout the visit. I definitely recommend Katelyn to anyone who is looking for a local pet sitter/walker!

About: While I have not been an official pet care provider, I have owned and cared for pets since I was a young girl. My family has raised a variety of animals, and we've always had dogs and cats in our home. Over the years, we've owned goats, bunnies, birds, dogs, and cats. My experience comes from caring for my own pets, plus helping out with pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I've learned how to handle feeding, grooming, cleaning up after them, and making them feel comfortable and loved. I would love nothing more than to meet your sweet pet and give them all the love and care they deserve whenever you need a reliable, caring caretaker. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care. I have plenty of time to feed, walk, play with, and spend quality time with your pet every day. I will show all pets love and attention through play and physical touch. As a lover of the outdoors, it is my pleasure to take your pet outside to play and run around with them. For cats, I will show them the attention they need, whether that's gentle petting, brushing, playing with toys, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel comfortable and secure. I will always respect your home when visiting. I will make sure food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that pets have a quiet, cozy space to rest when they need it. I promise to treat every pet like my own family member, with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.

Camila was amazing with our pup! Our dog is not the easiest as she is reactive and has particular triggers. But Camila was able to accommodate all of our needs and knows how to manage those triggers. She was super communicative and gave us peace of mind in caring for our home and dog. She was attentive, sweet, and made sure to give quality care with everything. I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet!

About: Неу! My name is Tracy, and I grew up in an animal loving house. My mom is an animal lover, and naturally so am I. I love all types of animals... small rodents, dogs, cats, reptiles. I love them all. I have been gentle, caring, and loving with animals from a young age. My first ever pet was a Chihuahua. From ages 6-10, and took care of him myself since I was an only child at the time and he was like my best friend. We both were born in Puerto Rico, and came to the States together. I would make sure he would potty outside, feed him, play with him, and of course make sure he was healthy and happy. I've had various baby chickens, a bunny, a hamster, a turtle, and finally ducks. I’ve also taken care of family members dogs and cats for periods of time while they were out of town. I currently have a blue French bulldog puppy. Who I adore. I love spending time with animals. They are so much fun and I am grateful to be able to bring them joy n love as much as they bring me Feel free to reach out anytime:). This is my part time job but I can always work around my time if it’s needed!!, I am available 11a.m.-5 p.m. from Monday- Friday to walk your dogs, and check up on your fur babies! I can always make space for weekends, it just depend on the time(but if you have any other requests out of that time frame don't hesitate to reach out) I am not offering services in my home at this time or any overnight pet sittings. Keep in mind that, I keep my calendar updated on the app. :) Please let me know if your dog has special recall words, behavioral issues (please be specific), allergies, how they do around other animals as well as people, or anything else you feel I would need to know to best. Thank you !

About: Hi everyone, I have 5 years of experience providing pet care and professional care started with my dog; Bellah and I got into grooming, training and aiding with pet health. Feel free to ask any questions, at this time housesitting is my preference! I can do walking, bathing, test out training or just be a great caretaker while you’re away! Thanks for considering me. Now that I’ve graduated college, I’m available full time for dog and cat care with a flexible schedule to meet pet parents’ needs. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. If a structured schedule is preferred, I can also provide one based on the routine I use with my own dog, Bellah, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and outdoor breaks. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have personally trained my own highly energetic dog; Bellah, in commands such as sit, jump, lay down, freeze, paw, and patience training, which has helped me develop strong handling skills and an understanding of different pet personalities and energy levels. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, treats, toys, and a structured routine to help them stay active and comfortable. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and following all care instructions closely so they feel secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide dependable, personalized care while making every pet feel like family.

About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.

Tessa took great care of our cat Tigger, attending to his feeding schedule and his insulin shots to maintain his health. She also sent us photos of Tigger so we could see how well he was doing with her. She stayed at our home and left it in great shape for our return. She was charming and interesting to talk to as well. You can’t go wrong with trusting her in your home!

Hands down best dog sitter we have ever had. My wife and I never had the best luck with rover. In AZ we used a privatized dog/house sitter business because other sitters on rover were either mean or charging like crazy. But Camilla isn’t like that, she is priced reasonably, and when we needed someone to stay with our cat and dog for 2 weeks to handle some family business she didn’t hesitate. She set up a meet promptly and listened to the needs we laid out for the animals. Spent some time with them and then said yes. The actual time she watched them was amazing! Updated everyday with photos. She was very good about gauging the feelings of our boys. And when we finally came home they seemed excited but also relaxed like we had just stepped out for a bit. When she came to drop off the keys our boys both came to the door to greet her. So glad we found her, thanks again for being so awesome!!

We loved Ruth! She was a great house sitter and pet sitter! We appreciated her quick responses and flexibility. She was great with our dog. He seemed happy and well taken care of the entire time. She not only left our house clean and neat, but she took the initiative and did some things without being asked, like bringing the trash can in the garage after trash pick up and taking the bed sheets off and placing them in the laundry room. We hope to have her back!!
