“We couldn't be more thankful to have found Lauren and Ernest! Our 3 kitties can be a handful but they love both Lauren and Ernest and look forward to their visits while we are away. They're both very communicative, send great updates, and go above and beyond. This is our 3rd time working with them and they'll be out go to pet sitters every time we need one. Highly recommend!”
“Emma was so wonderful with my two furbabies! The amount of love & attention they both received was incredible. Emma was great at keeping in touch with me, and sending me the cutest pictures of my dog & kitty cat. I would highly recommend Emma! She’s so sweet, professional and reliable.”
“Kathy was so great dropping in with our 2 pups! We booked with Grover only 1 week before leaving over the Christmas holiday and she met with us right away so we had no worries leaving. We had a change in plans and didn't need her the last day and apologize for the mess up. Definitely will use her services again🐾”
“Adriana is a great sitter!! My pups are always super happy when I come home after one of her visits. She takes the time to play with them, brush them, and let them run around outside after getting their lunch during the dropin visit. Her Rover cards are always very informative and full of pictures. She is very reliable and great at communicating when she's on her way or if she has questions. I will definitely continue to request visits for my pups from her.”
“Monica was fantastic - very communicative, understanding and playful with the pups. Even one of our kitties kept sneaking out with the pups and she was awesome with her. We will definitely continue to have Monica watch the kids during adventures!”
“Siyun is a great sitter. We needed someone to let our dog out in the afternoon since we work long hours. She always sends pictures and answers messages very quickly. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Siyun!”
“Simply stated, Lacey has been Consistently Fabulous - in every aspect I can think of! I'm new to the area so was anxious about trying to find a trustworthy cat sitter, but Lacey has proven to be the 'bestest' find. My little three-legged kitty, who is typically shy and cautious, decidedly loves her "Lacey time", which is filled with adoring care and cuddles, not to mention the play activities and treats! Lacey goes above and beyond to learn everything needed about how to make these care visits as special and successful as they should be. Thank you, Lacey!”
“Morgan is fantastic! We recently used her for drop in visits with our very shy and skittish cat. She did fantastic and our cat even greeted her. We had an excellent meet and greet and Morgan was very attentive and took lots of notes, asked important questions regarding our cats care and the apartment. Morgan is very polite, communicative, and caring! On top of watching June she helped keep the home tidy and refreshed 💖 We will definitely be using her again in the future! I feel comfortable with leaving our cat and home in her care.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dogs. From the moment we met, it was clear they had a natural connection with animals. She is gentle, attentive, and incredibly patient. Will definitely book again with Liz :)”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 6 years. Now I have corgi mix adopted from a rescue organization and a Chinese field dog I rescued from China. We are always available for your little fur kids and we have family available for your fur kids most time of the day. Pet sitting is our daily task. Pets in my home will hang out in the backyard and they can go wherever they want in the house and stay wherever they find comfortable. For service quality purposes, I only accept two dogs maximum at the same time to make sure I provide the best care to fur babies. My home is located at a dead end community with all the nice neighbors.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs the majority of my life I was a dog mom for many years and took care of 4 furbabies. 🌻 I am a native Spanish speaker if your dog happens to be Latino! I am currently working part-time after 3PM I am free to ensure your pup is safe well fed and spoiled with attention! I can adapt to your pups schedule so they feel safe and comfortable ☺️ I will always respect my clients and their pups boundaries. I will follow any special instructions provided and send many photos of your pup for you to check in!
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life and although I don’t have any of my own, I have many years of experience taking care of pets of all energy levels. I follow directions well and can provide the appropriate amount of attention for pets with special needs and/or requirement as well. Currently I am a part-time college student and caregiver for my younger sibling, although this may seem time restricting this allows me to plan out my schedule and can be flexible whenever and wherever. I am a very neat and tidy person, so house upkeep is one of my number one priorities aside from taking care of your pets. On top of that, I have plenty of of experience dealing with dogs of all ages and can accommodate accordingly.
“We are so lucky to found Brittany! Her and her daughter took such great care of our cat. We appreciated the detailed updates and lots of photos/videos. In addition to proving our cat with such great attention, his food and potty area were cleaned. We had such a worry free vacation. We highly recommend her to sit your fur baby, no doubt!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8yrs old. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to care for their beloved pets. I’ am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends after 2pm, and weekdays after 430pm I have a fence yard, crates and gates at home, we can also use your own crates if that works with you. Thank a bunch

Ethan N.
“Ethan has watched my 4 dogs several times and has always cared for them as if they were his own pets. My dogs love when he comes for a visit as they know they will have plenty of play time followed by cuddle time on the couch. He sends regular updates of the dogs with pictures so I can see how comfortable they are around him when I'm away. Ethan stays in the home overnight sometimes while I'm away to watch my dogs and he always takes care of my home, too. Ethan is a very caring person and that is shown by how well he treats me and my dogs. I highly recommend Ethan for your dog/house sitting needs.”
