About: What sets me apart is my calm energy, reliability, and ability to adapt to each dog’s individual needs—whether they’re high-energy puppies or gentle seniors. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always respectful of your dog’s routine and your home. I have experience with crate training, basic commands, and helping build confidence in shy or anxious dogs. I’m also comfortable with senior care, including slower paced walks, medication schedules, and mobility support. I show up on time, communicate clearly, and always put your dog’s safety and comfort first. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is in good hands, and for your dog to feel relaxed, understood, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time on Tuesdays (7am–1pm), Thursdays (1pm–7pm), and Fridays (7am–1pm), but I’m very flexible and happy to work around my schedule. Even on workdays I can often arrange visits depending on the timing. I truly love caring for animals and treat every pet like my own. If you reach out, we can easily coordinate a time that works best for you and your pet. I do offer care in my home. I live in a one bedroom apartment on the second floor. I have two friendly bunnies who are usually free roaming during the day but mostly keep to themselves and are comfortable around other animals. While I don’t have a yard, my complex has a dog park and I live right next to a hiking trail with plenty of walkable paths. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while they’re in my care.
“Melissa was an absolute dream to work with for my two standard poodles! She stayed at my house while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I came home, the house actually looked better than when I left it — everything was neat, clean, and in perfect order. She sent wonderful photos and updates throughout the trip, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pups were happy and well cared for. I came home to happy, relaxed, well-exercised dogs who clearly adored her. This was hands-down the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had. I will definitely be using Melissa again for future trips! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Brittney watched our dog for 5 days and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. We received photos and videos with little updates every day. It’s hard to trust someone staying in your house or taking care of your “baby” but Brittney made us feel at ease and we could fully enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog is in great hands.Additionally, she left the house super clean! Would highly recommend Brittney!”
“I cannot recommend Leah enough! My dog, Sisa, is reactive, and I’m always nervous about how she’ll handle walks with someone new. [Sitter's Name] navigated her reactivity with total confidence and skill, keeping her safe and calm throughout the week. More importantly, she was incredibly sweet and loving toward Sisa, sending me the best photo updates of her looking happy and relaxed. It provided such immense peace of mind while I was away. Truly a rare find!”
“Kyle did an amazing job taking care of my two big dogs after a last minute request for a weekend stay. My dogs warmed up to him immediately and he was very attentive to their needs. Kyle has also done additional drop in visits, providing updates and photos. I have already booked him for future housesitting and we will continue to book him as our trusted sitter.”
“Kerry is an excellent sitter. I feel confident leaving my two pups in her care. One of my dogs is very skittish around people but loves Kerry and she is amazing with him!”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful when she house sat for us while we were out of town! Our Great Dane loved her and our house was in better shape than when we left! 10/10 recommend and will be using her again in the future!!”
“Hieu and Anna were so amazing to our huskies while we were gone. One of our pups was newly adopted and needed extra love and encouragement and they were able to provide that! They provided many updates throughout the day giving me piece of mind that they were living the best life with their aunties 😁 We're so grateful for them!”
“Grant and Yunrui took such a good care of my anxious and high energy dog. They walked her, let her sleep with them and sent lots of updates and cute photos. Coco seemed very relaxed and happy when we came back. They followed our long list of instructions very well. I will most definitely rebook them to take care of Coco.”
About: I have a wide range of experience caring for pets, including cats, puppies and elderly dogs with medical needs. In addition to providing day-to-day care like walks and drop-ins, I have experience with long-term housesitting. I prioritize communication with my clients and love sending photos and updates so you can be sure your loved one is well cared for! I’m currently in school part-time online so I have plenty of free time to spend with your loved ones! I am free for housesitting Friday-Sunday and available for walks and drop-ins any day before 4pm. Your pets comfort and safety is my number one priority, I will make sure they are cared for and loved like they were my own.
“McKenna was the best house sitter we’ve ever had! She truly went above and beyond in care of our German Shepherd and our home! We highly recommend and hope she is available for us in the future.”
“I was really pleased with Ty and Charlie. Their setup worked extremely well for our very Velcro-needy guy. I was initially a little hesitant about having two people watching him, simply because we’d never had a couple before, but if you’re on the fence like I was, don’t pass them up — it worked perfectly for us. They arrived on time for both the meet-and-greet and the sitting job, and they checked in to confirm the times I had listed before coming and when they were scheduled to leave. Our guy is very routine-oriented, and they followed my detailed instructions (yes, I’m that parent!) to a tee — including giving his meds on time, which was huge for us since some past sitters have struggled with that. I truly couldn’t have asked for better sitters; they’re probably my favorite so far. I’ll absolutely continue to use them and am already working to see if they’re available to sit for us again. I would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!”
“We had Clara stay for 3 days with Teller. She sent us pictures everyday, and told us how Teller was doing. Clara is very sweet and we would definitely use again. Kathleen and Mike Morin”
“BOOK!! Best person I've ever booked with! So thankful for her quality of work, attention to detail, and consistency. She's everything you're looking for and more!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past few years. I am 32 years old. Neighbors, friends of family, family… walk, feed, sleep over and play. I am a teacher so between the months of July and August I will have availability between Monday-Friday during the day and night at any point of the day. I just recently moved to the area, so I have a lot more freedom up until mid august! I am very active and constantly going on walks and I would love to have your dogs join me! I also would love just popping in to let your dog out or feed them daily if need be!
“Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Ivy, while I was away for a family memorial. She kept me updated every day with pictures and messages, took Ivy on walks, helped with her grooming needs, and made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Ivy was so relaxed with her, which gave me total peace of mind. On top of that, Andrea left my home in great condition. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter truly attentive, kind, and reliable. Highly recommend!”

Tiana is the ultimate professional. I almost had to cancel the booking due to unforeseen circumstances. She handled it with understanding, grace, and patience. I’m glad I was able to make alternate plans and keep my booking with her. She was early to everything related to the booking which shows how serious she takes her job. I made a short notice decision to come home early and Tiana responded and adjusted well to that also. She made sure the puppies were taken care of and everything in the house was in order so I can just go straight to bed.
Kelly watched our older dog and cat while we were gone for a week. We came home to two happy and healthy fur balls! As always, Kelly was super communicative the entire time and sent a ton of adorable pictures of them. They love her! Highly recommend booking with her, she leaves you with some happy fur babies! The house was exactly as we left it, she is also extremely respectful of your home and property. She is our go to Rover!
Katherine was great with Zelda, they had a lot of fun. She took very good care of my house, even changed a battery in my smoke detector that was starting to beep. The house was immaculate when I got home, and Zelda was really happy. The communication was really good and I plan to use her again soon!
We were in need of a sitter and it was short notice because it was the next day. After going through some people, Amelia answered and did a meet and greet, and we really liked her. She was early and the dogs were comfortable with her. Thank you so much Amelia for sitting with for our dogs. We will definitely be using her again.
Aubrey is awesome! Had a fantastic meet and greet, a great house sitting for my pup, with absolutely not one issue. Communication was perfect and photos were great too! It was super nice coming home to a happy and healthy pup who clearly was well cared for in my absence. Will be touching base before the next time I need a sitter!
