“Lindsay was great! Felt super comfortable leaving our cat in her hands. Loved the pics she sent us and that she took the time to play with him. Will definitely book with her again”
2. Philip F.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care our dogs received from Philip. From the moment we met him, we could tell he was a perfect fit for Max & Kody. He took the time to get to know our dogs' individual personalities, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved in our absence. Throughout the time we were away, Philip sent regular updates and photos, which reassured us that our dogs were in good hands. What truly stood out was the attention to detail. Philip followed all the instructions we’ve provided and even went above and beyond by cleaning up a trail of ants that was caused by leaving the dog’s food out when they didn’t finish. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, which speaks volumes about the level of care they received. We would absolutely be booking Philip again in the future. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pups!”
3. Brittany H.
“Brittany was so sweet and wonderful! She took care of our Golden while we were away and was so accommodating to our schedule. She is so great with dogs and we could tell immediately that our dog would be comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy while we were away. Thank you again! Would highly recommend Brittany to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”

“Grisel was so great and accommodating and definitely shows she loves dogs. My pups are very shy around new people and they took to her quickly. I totally trust Grisel to take care of my pups and will continue to do so in the future. Highly recommend.”

7. Heavonly R.
“I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and praise for Heavonly's exceptional dog babysitting services. We recently had the pleasure of leaving our furry family member in her care, and we couldn't be more impressed. Heavonly demonstrated remarkable responsibility and thoughtfulness throughout her time with our dog. Her kindness, patience, and understanding of our pet's needs were truly reassuring. She provided a safe, loving environment that put our minds at ease while we were away. Her attention to detail and ability to follow our specific instructions were impressive. We appreciated the regular updates and photos she sent, keeping us informed of our dog's adventures and well-being. We're deeply grateful for Heavonly's outstanding care and compassion. If you're seeking a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter, we highly recommend Heavonly. She's a true animal lover with a gift for providing top-notch care. Thank you again, Heavonly, for being an exceptional dog babysitter! We look forward to working with you again in the future.”
8. Oswaldo O.
“I recommend Oswaldo, as a pet sitter because he loves animals and takes great care of them. When he watched my dogs, he made sure they were fed on time, taken for walks, and given lots of love and attention. He also cleaned up after them, including when they used the bathroom and kept their bowls clean and ready for meals. He is great at following instructions and updating me on how my dogs are doing. One important thing he did was make sure my dog got his medication on time. He’s patient and nice and always makes sure pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. I've never had to worry about my dogs because I knew they were in good hands.”
9. Lilian B.
About: I have had pets since I was very young. I currently have my loving Mia and she's been with me for 7 years. I will give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you're away! My pet sitting service offers personalized care, playtime, and cuddles to keep your furry friends happy and comfortable in the safety of their own home. Rest easy knowing your pets are in good hands! I have just moved to the area and I am looking to build a customer base. Whatever is normal routine for your dog! I think it’s important to maintain this balance for them while you’re away so they do not have added stress. It helps keep them feeling familiar and grounded in your absence, but I am always happy to add to that with new experiences and places. I do not have the capacity to allow clients animals into my home, yet am more than happy to travel to stay in someone’s house to care for their animals. Animals are generally more comfortable and confident in a space they are familiar with, and I am willing to travel the distance to ensure your pet is cared for as best as possible.
10. Christina L.

11. Dolores L.
“Dolores did a great job taking care of our two cat's and even sent us daily pictures and picked up the mail. Great to have found someone we can rely on to take care our fur friends when were gone.”
12. Brionna D.
“Always amazing, the best!!”
13. Jalesia D.
“Jalesia is an all around great person! I have watched her around her own dog and she helps to take great care of him. I also own a dog who can be skittish at times but she quickly warmed up to Jalesia when they were first introduced to each other. I would trust Jalesia to take care of my dog with no worries at all! She is a very responsible, caring, and compassionate person who pays great attention to detail. Which is important when it comes to taking care of animals and knowing their specific needs.”
14. Michelle E.
“Michelle has always been my go to for babysitting my dog. She’s always been so gentle with him and willing to go above and beyond for any medical care he needs. He’s a big dog and she’s very confident with handling him. I would recommend her for any kind of pet.”
15. Savannah W.
“Savannah did great with Milo. He was very happy and well taken care of when we returned. Savannah was on time for each drop in and went above and beyond to make sure Milo went potty! I appreciated the pictures and videos! This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely book with Savannah in the future!!”
16. Angie B.
“Angie took fabulous care of our Ruby while we were away. She communicated regularly, was very responsive and we really enjoyed the photos and videos she sent us. It was our first time leaving Ruby in the care of someone other than a friend, and we would hire Angie again in a heartbeat.”
17. Brittanie & Ryan B.
“Had a fantastic experience with Brittanie & Ryan. Easy and clear communication while setting up for them to feed, clean up after, and spend a little time with our cats while we were gone for a long weekend. Brittanie texted me after each visit with a little update and even a photo which I really appreciated. They are sweet and caring people and I will definitely be using their services again.”
18. Kristal S.
About: Since I was a little girl, I've had an a connection for animals. Family and friends knew I had patience with animals more than humans giving you unconditional love. I currently own 4 dogs, 2 huskies and 2 shih tzus. I dont have any siblings around my age so my dogs make me feel all the love I need. I currently have a part-time job, which allows me to spend quality time with my pets. I take my dogs out to walk 2-3 times a day and help my neighbors as well as my friends to take out their dogs. My pets have their own little home in the backyard which is very safe for them since they have a tall gate. I take my pets grooming about 2 times a month and they show me how happy they feel with all the care I provide for them.
19. Kaitlin M.
“Over the years, Kaitlin has cared for three of my dogs and has proven to be the most attentive, responsible, and communicative puppy guardian we have ever had. Her love of the pets, and all animals, is evident from the moment she walks through the door and squats down to greet her adoring canine fans before the humans. I really appreciate that she sends pics and updates before being asked to do so. But perhaps the best testament to her way with animals is that if we even mention her name, our pups go wild with excitement to see her.”
20. Cristina C.
“I had the pleasure of having Christina as my dog's walker and caretaker. Her care and dedication to the well-being of my dogs were truly remarkable. From the very beginning, it was evident she was extremely caring and reliable. Her love for animals shone through every interaction. She consistently went the extra mile to ensure my dogs received the best possible care. She provided the best support and compassion during both the energetic times and the sick and even end of life stages. Her kindness and understanding during the challenging moments were invaluable. Words cannot capture the extent of her greatness. She made a lasting impact on our family and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a walker and caretaker.”
