“I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter! My puppy is like my baby, so finding someone I could trust was very important to me. From the moment they met, my pup felt comfortable and even gives her kisses—which says a lot! I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in safe, loving hands. She provides the best quality of care, always sends me pictures, and responds quickly to any messages. I couldn’t ask for more!”


“Vanessa was the best sitter we have had from Rover. She was caring and attentive to our dogs and took great care of our home. Vanessa sent tons of photos and videos. It gives us great piece of mind for future travel plans. Thanks Vanessa”


“Rhoda was incredible! From the moment we connected, I felt confident leaving my dogs in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and went above and beyond - especially considering my dog was in heat during the stay. She kept me constantly updated with tons of adorable photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. They got plenty of walks, playtime, and love, and I could tell they were truly comfortable and happy with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone so caring and reliable. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

“Dawn has stayed in our home to watch our two kitties multiple times in the past, and did an amazing job. This last trip she watched our dog, Baloo, as well and she was fabulous as always! The care and consideration she’s gives for our animals, and home, I truly amazing. And it makes going away much less stressful.”


“Maria watched my dog for a week at my home while we were on vacation. It was the first time that I left him with someone I didn't know. She helped make him feel comfortable and he did really well! She sent pictures and updates and responded to my questions promptly. She left my home neat as well! I would recommend and hire her again!”


“I had a pleasant experience having Kristina pet sit Milo at my apartment for 3 nights/3 days. She was quick to respond. She gave me frequent updates and pictures. She left my apartment just as I left it. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pet and would use her again!”


“Brittani dog sat at my home for 9 days, and she did an excellent job! My dogs liked her and one of them is a very anxious little chi-pom, but still warmed up to Brittani quickly. Brittani also brought in my packages, and took great care of the house. I came home to three very happy pups. They are so much happier staying in their own home. Brittani is now my go-to dog sitter!”


“Marta is a great pet sitter. She came over two times before I actually needed her to get acquainted with my pets. She did everything that was expected and even sent us pictures while we were away. I would definitely use Marta again.”

“Christina was the best pet sitter that we ever had! It was obvious from our first meeting that she is a caring and conscientious person. She went above and beyond in handling all of the special needs of our elderly pets. She also sent us photos and short videos of our pets everyday! I highly recommend Christina as a pet sitter! She is the best! -Karin & Lana”


About: Hi, I’m Kennedy! I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of homes, from cozy cabins in Montana to sunny apartments here in Florida. Over the years, I’ve fostered dogs of all ages and personalities, from bouncy puppies to gentle seniors, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care while keeping their routines consistent. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out together, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also experienced with house sitting, so you can trust that your home will be looked after just as carefully as your pets. If you’re looking for a reliable sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! Pet care is part of my everyday life, I’ve fostered for years, so caring for animals is second nature to me. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday walks, or evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet feels loved and cared for. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable by following their usual routines and giving them plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect your space and keep doors and gates secure. In my home, I provide a cozy spot, fresh water, and a safe environment free from hazards. You’ll always get updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Tag did a wonderful job keeping our 14-year-old dog Otis calm during the July 4th fireworks, and she was super easy to communicate with. She also took great care of our apartment while staying with Otis, and we highly recommend her!”


About: I love helping. Especially dogs. And i particularly love big dogs. I grew up with German shepherds and we bond very well. I love nearly every pup i meet. I create my own schedule for everything. Therefore I have a lot of flexibility but also not so much consistency. I am great for last minute walks or drop-ins. I treat every living thing with respect and kindness. I am a waterbearer therefore I like helping anyone or thing crossing my path in need of it.

“Charlene was wonderful with our animals and sent plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She was quick to reply to my messages, offered to meet up a couple times before the stay to make sure all the animals were comfortable with her, and she made sure our house was cleaned up before we got home, as if we had never left! I will definitely recommend Charlene for anyone who needs a pet sitter!”


“Saragh is wonderful! She took great care of my cat (and my home). And what a sweetheart! I highly recommend Saragh to anyone seeking a reliable, respectful and responsible sitter.”


“Melissa was very attentive to Yogi's needs and I could tell that they built a bond over the two plus days I was gone. I was happy too get pics and updates of my boy when I was out of town. I would definitely use Melissa's services again. It looks like Yogi has a new buddy!”
