“Jennifer is an amazing sitter. She goes above and beyond for my rat babies! She treats them just as she would my dog honestly, She adds a ton of peace and mind each time I have to be away from any of my pets. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Suzanne was great! My husband and I were in a bind and needing a sitter for our Chihuahua almost at a moments notice. She listened to his needs we explained and was very thorough with any questions she had. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Celia has been amazing watching our two dogs. Her initial communication was perfect and her follow through just wonderful. She arrived several days early to spend some time with the dogs and the dogs loved her. She was prompt and the pictures and communication while we were gone was beyond 5 stars. We will absolutely utilize her services in the future. Without question Celia is bay far and away the best Rover sitter we have ever had watching the dogs. Thanks Celia!!”

“Clara house sat and watch our labradoodle for 5 days and did a fantastic job! Walter was happy and healthy when we arrived home and the house was in excellent condition. Several of our dog-loving neighbors got to know Clara and really liked them. We highly recommend Clara and have absolutely no reservations in hiring them again! :-)”

“Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with my dog. He’s notoriously sensitive to change—often refusing to eat and hiding when I’m away. But within just two days of being with Alexandra, he was out of his shell and eating normally. Her calm, caring approach clearly made him feel safe and comfortable. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking her again for future trips. Highly recommend!”

“Skylar is always who we choose to watch our dogs when we go out of town. They absolutely love her and she always leaves the house cleaner than she found it. Communication is always amazing as well. 10/10 recommend if you are looking for a house sitter!”
“Stephanie took the time to meet our 3 dogs twice before our vacation because one of our dogs is scared of new people. She sent daily messages and photos while we were away. Her vast experience meant that everything went brilliantly and all the dogs loved her like family. I will not hesitate to book her again.”

“Lauryn was wonderful. She stayed at our house with our dog with epilepsy while we went on vacation. She provided updates often, gave our dog plenty of enrichment and exercise, and left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Chloe went above and beyond with her care of our sweet girl and home in our absence! While we missed our pup, we were in complete ease with the thoughtful and fun updates from Chloe that made our time away even more enjoyable! While taking such great care of pup, she also took such great care in keeping our home fresh for our return! We will absolutely ask Chloe for her services again soon!”

About: As a high school teacher, I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure. I’ve personally owned three dogs over the past 25 years, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I do not currently have pets in my home, which allows me to give focused attention and care to the dogs I work with. I also love being outdoors and enjoy walks, routines, updates, and helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. As a teacher, I’m very organized and consistent with routines. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. During the school year, I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active, outdoors, and dependable for both pets and their owners. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of attention. With my own dogs over the years, I loved taking them on walks, riverwalks, lake outings, and other safe outdoor adventures. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and cared for while also respecting each owner’s routines and instructions.

“My family had a cruise planned and I was a nervous wreck thinking about leaving my dogs with someone I didn’t know and I definitely didn’t want to board them! When I first met Mackenzie she stayed and talked to me for an hour or more and by the time she left I was finally excited about the cruise and no longer anxious about leaving them! The day before we left Mackenzie came by and my dogs were so excited to see her, my rottie sat on her feet while she was talking to me! Mackenzie was great with my dogs and they loved her! She kept in contact with me while I was gone and let me know how they were doing! We will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Mallory is an exceptional person and the best sitter we could have had for our puppy, Yuki! She was attentive, empathetic and friendly, giving us updates and sharing how she was handling any problems that came up during the night (and cute photos). We felt totally trusting of her being in our home, caring for Yuki and that they both were having a good time! In fact, when we came home, Yuki was having a hard time saying bye to Mallory! They already had such a sweet bond in just 4 short hours ?. We would highly recommend her to anyone with a young dog who is still learning how to be on its own— she made ours feel so safe and happy!”

“Stephanie did a great job with Lexie and Miller while we were out of the country. It definitely gave us piece of mind knowing she was taking such good care of them. We will definitely use Stephanie again.”

“Meghann was great with our dogs and cat. We could not believe how quickly our small dog, who is scared of everything and everyone, warmed up to her. Within a day she was snuggling up with Meghann on the couch. Totally unheard of. Our other dog, a lab, loved her as well, and the cat seemed as happy as he ever is. The house was clean and tidy when we got home. We would definitely have Meghann sit for us again.”

“John took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs befriended him straight away and he was always quick to respond. Thank you John, we will definitely reach out in the future when we need a dog sitter!”

“Ken did a great job managing my super anxious, big baby Chewy. He communicated well and allowed her to take her time to warm up. Throughout the short stay, Ken provided updates with pictures which gave me peace of mind knowing Chewy was taken care of. I could not be happier with the experience and will be booking again in the future. If you are looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable sitter, Ken is your guy. Highly recommend.”

Every time we get the chance to book Celia during our vacation we relax knowing our pups are in good hands. She goes above and beyond. She’s always updating us on how things are going and she pays attention to the smallest details. She brings joy, love, and fun to our dogs with each visit. Don’t hesitate to book with Celia.

Jenn is absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She sent the cutest pictures everyday that we were gone, and we really appreciated how communicative she was. Our pups liked her right away, and it was clear she gave them a lot of attention while we were gone. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!

What a godsend! We were hesitant to take a trip as our Benji has high anxiety but Meghann was an absolute gift! She took such great care of our pup and our home. She provided outstanding communication with updates and pictures that made our time away so much more relaxing. We couldn’t believe how Benji warmed up to her. She’s a whisperer! Our home was tidy and clean and she even came back and stayed with our Boy since our return was delayed. Five stars are not enough…. We will definitely book her again and again.

If you’re looking for a reliable dog sitter for drop-ins or in-home care, Chelsea is your girl! My Cavalier, Marlo, has high separation anxiety, but she loves her time with Chelsea and settles in quickly. Chelsea has watched her many times while we’ve been on vacation and always goes above and beyond to keep her happy, safe, and spoiled with cuddles. She sends plenty of updates and photos, which gives us total peace of mind while we’re away. We’re so grateful to have her- highly recommend booking!
