“Carla did a great job watching my dog Ponto and kitty Snowball. She sent great photos and kept us very updated. We would definitely have Carla come watch our pets again!”
“Maria stayed in our home with our dog for 9 days and we and our dog absolutely love her. He is a senior with special needs including needing 6 medications per day (liquid, tablet, and capsule). She sent us frequent updates and photos, and we came home to a clean house and happy pup. We already booked her again for our next trip. She genuinely loves the dogs in her care like her own and we are so glad to have found her!”
“Joanne was very good w my two teacup yorkie’s! We communicated well while we were out. We r on vacation from Texas and so Joanne was super helpful to us so we can take a day to go to the San Diego zoo where pets not allowed. I will definitely recommend her.”
About: I give a lot of rubbing to show my love for them. In the past, I grew up with around twenty dogs of different species(including two Dobermans, a Rottweiler, a Boxer, a Caucasian Shepherd, a Tibetan Mastiff, a Border Collie, a Miniature Pinscher, a Pomeranian, a Chow Chow, a Labrador, a Bassett Hound, etc.) in different periods of my life. And I've made friends with dogs from neighbors or farms that I helped with. Currently I'm living happily with my husband and 3 dogs (a Min-pin/Daschund, a mixed Retriever and a Mini Schnauzer). I love hanging out with them so much. I feel very happy and content when I'm around them and I believe they enjoy my company as well. I'm very careful with what they eat and drink. I would always make sure I give them fresh water and food. I also do a really good job grooming. My schedule is pretty open right now and I'm very adaptable when it comes to adjusting to different schedules and tasks. I can get up early or go to bed late. I have a small dog of my own and he is very chill at home and snuggles in his bed unless it's time to go out. He is super social and harmless and wants to say hi and make friends with every single dog he sees.
“Tristan was very communicative during his stay w/ my pup. Sent pictures, took her on walks, and showed her all the love she asked for (she’s a stubborn husky). If there was anything he was unsure of he immediately messaged me to get clarification. Friendly and active, I will def be booking w/ him again.”
“Tara was beyond amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for our two pups. She sent updates and checked in regularly and I didn't have to worry about them at all the entire week we were gone. Our girls miss her and we can't wait to have her come back and hang out with them again soon. Thank you, Tara!”
“Justine was amazing ? my dogs loved her and she sent me plenty of updates, pictures and videos and that was so thoughtful of her because I was nervous since this was my first time using this service. I came home to a Clean house and that felt amazing because I was exhausted. Will definitely be booking her again for my next work trip!”
“Maureen was amazing giving us updates and sending pictures so we felt at ease even when we were across the country from our Lily. She also left a super sweet note and magnet she’d made. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Alex was kind, communicative, and took great care of our dog. Would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of family friends. I’ve had 2 dogs of my own and love hanging out with animals. I’ve also worked at an animal shelter helping out with the dogs! I’m currently attending college so I have a pretty free schedule and will work out a schedule that works for the both of us. I’m very open to talking about times that work for you. I will follow all instructions give and give them lots of attention when i’m needed to. i can also take them on walks and play with them.
“Mia is charming and very dependable. Our pup took to her right away! Highly recommend her.”
“Amanda was a wonderful dog sitter for our fur babies! Not only was she communicative and caring, but when our flights go cancelled, she stepped in for an emergency extra night. We could tell by our boys reaction upon our return that they had been well-cared for. We hope to have Amanda care for them again!”
“Dee was fantastic. She knows how to handle animals. She will spoil your best friend while you are away on your vacation. We were away for 9 days and normally we would have felt the need to contact past sitters to check in, with Dee we did not. She sent us pictures and gave us updates through the Rover app. Our house was nice and clean when we arrived back home and nothing was missing (HONEST DOG/HOUSE SITTER) hard to find. You will be happy you selected Dee.”
“Olivia is a great communicator and regularly updated me with photos and texts. I felt very confident that my dogs and cats were well cared for and would absolutely recommend Olivia to take care of your fur kids.”
“Kris was once again an excellent sitter for our dog! She kept in contact with me each day with updates and a picture or two of our dog. He was happy and well cared for and our home was clean and tidy. Kris has been our faithful dog sitter now several times and I highly recommend her!”
“Amazing to work with. Friendly and professional!!”
“Simply outstanding. Imelda is an incredible person and pet sitter. She took immaculate care of our fur babies and home. We were stuck overseas for an additional few days and Imelda stayed. 5 stars is not enough!”
“Sabrina took such good care of my pups who get really bad separation anxiety. I hired her to watch them while we took a day trip and they got plenty of attention. They were happy dogs when we returned home.”
About: I’ve had pets and pet sat since I was 9! I’ve had my own cats and cat sat! I had a giant mastiff and owned a show bunny through high school! I I’m going to school for Animal Science and Veterinary Sciences so I’m trying to get as much experience around more critters. I’ve had a cat who had multiple surgeries so I’ve had to administer medications and help soothe anxious animals. I work at a hospital Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday. So the rest of the week I am able to have a lot of outdoor time with pets. My patio is completely closed off and I have a grass patch and flower bed. All the plants I have are 100% dog and cat safe!
“Stephen was so great with our 2 dogs! He sent regular updates and pictures, left the house in perfect condition and was very easy to communicate with. He was very attentive and took such great care of our fur babies.”

I think she’d be a good fit as a pet sitter.”

Ariana was amazing! She provided daily updates and photos and videos and Avie loved her! Avie doesn’t warm up to just anyone but she was immediately comfy with Ariana.
I really appreciate Padraig's efforts in house sitting my two dogs for two weekends in a row (including a holiday weekend). While my dogs don't require 24/7 care, they can't just be left alone and checked on a couple times a day. Padraig followed all the instructions I left for him and was easy to communicate with while I was away. And he also left my home in the same condition as he found it in. The next door neighbors have him a glowing review, too. Most importantly, even though my dogs were excited to see me come home, I could tell they were well taken care of and they were appropriately tired out. Padraig would 100% be welcome back in the future. Thanks again!
Melissa is the best! Our dog isn’t in great health, but we were not worried at all with Melissa there. Wouldn’t have anyone but her.
It was a pleasure working with Janet again. My pups were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip.
We had Tara stay at our home with our active buddy for a couple nights, she checked in with pictures and updates on how he was doing, and we had no worries at all. He was great when we came back and house was too!
Joanne was very good w my two teacup yorkie’s! We communicated well while we were out. We r on vacation from Texas and so Joanne was super helpful to us so we can take a day to go to the San Diego zoo where pets not allowed. I will definitely recommend her.
Sarah was excellent! She took such great care of our boy and sent lots of updates. I felt so good knowing my dog was being well cared for and loved while we were away. She also took good care of our home. We came back to it being cleaner than when we left! I highly recommend her!
Gretchen did an amazing job taking care of my pup! Could not have asked for a better at home dog sitter! Will definitely be going back to Gretchen in the future!
We had special needs pets and Justine took excellent care of them and our home. Our shy cat even came out of her shell within the first day. Justine is a great communicator and has a deep understanding of both cats and dogs. Our pets all give her 5 paws!
Kelsey was great!! George enjoyed his time with her staying at our house with him!! She took him on adventures and updated us daily on his activities, which we were very grateful to receive. She even took him for a bath - which is hardly a one person job since he hates it!! She treated our home like her own and left it very clean and tidy. She was extra attentive to George, followed all instructions we'd left and we would be happy to have her back again!
Halli is always on time, responsible, and takes great care of my pet. She does a great job every visit, and I really appreciate how reliable she is. I’ll definitely continue to use her!
Absolutely amazing sitter! She was wonderful with both my dog Milo and our incredibly challenging foster—by far the most timid and reactive dog I’ve had in 9 years of fostering. She was calm, structured, and incredibly patient. Her communication was excellent, with fabulous updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. She spent lots of quality time with the dogs, and I came home to a spotless house. Truly top-notch care—will 100% rebook!
Alicia was amazing, very attentive, and lots of photos of my cat while we were on vacation. Very detailed morning and even reports and she even cleaned before leaving. We will definitely be booking again!
We booked Danielle for three nights at our house. She kept in touch with us and sent lots of pictures of our dog Lucy. You can tell my dog was loving all the attention she was getting. Everything was clean and tidy when we returned. I would highly recommend Danielle.
Simply outstanding. Imelda is an incredible person and pet sitter. She took immaculate care of our fur babies and home. We were stuck overseas for an additional few days and Imelda stayed. 5 stars is not enough!
Amanda is an absolute gem! She took such great care of our girls, Piper and Roux. They got walks, cuddles, time outside to play, and we got photos and videos throughout the time we were away. Amanda made sure to connect with us on prep beforehand, as well as any questions while we were away. When we got home, both pups were excited to see us, but had clearly enjoyed their long weekend with Amanda! Outside of just the pet sitting, Amanda took great care of our house. We came home to find everything in its place and her used towels and linens were even stacked in the laundry room to mistake it easier for us to We would absolutely use Amanda again - she is fabulous!
Trent was an outstanding pet-sier - I highly recommend. Our pets (dogs, cats, and birds) LOVE Trent! We received update nd had comfort and peace of mind our animals were reciting great care while we were away on vacation!
Olivia is a great communicator and regularly updated me with photos and texts. I felt very confident that my dogs and cats were well cared for and would absolutely recommend Olivia to take care of your fur kids.
Elena was great! Kept me updated on both my pets, arrived on time; I felt very comfortable knowing she was in my home.
Christina was seriously amazing! I was a little nervous leaving my paralyzed dog with someone new, but she instantly put me at ease. She knew how to express her bladder, which is huge, and was just so sweet and gentle with her the entire time. She kept in touch with me every day, sent updates and pics, and just really made me feel comfortable while I was away. On top of that, she cleaned up, did laundry, and trimmed my dog’s nails! I'm so grateful I found her, she went above and beyond in every way!
