“I felt very comfortable and confident leaving our pets in Megan's care while we were on vacation. Communication was always prompt with any questions I had and I know our pets were well taken care of. It's such a peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and at home with Megan vs boarding. We will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.”


“Hanna was very good with Marley!! She played with her and took pictures of her and sent them to us.”


“This is the 3rd time Selena has watched our 2 dogs in our home. She’s been super communicative with us and responsive to their needs. We will definitely be using her again !”


“Regan did a great job. Even my cat showed up for her, which is unusual. My cat Spats, usually stays hid when strangers are around. Minion loves everyone so I know they were well taken care of. I recommend Regan and will use her again if needed.”


“Sam did a fantastic job with our dogs Daisy and Dixie. She also took wonderful care of my house and made sure to water my plants as needed. She left my house in better shape than when I left. She kept me updated and asked questions appropriately. I will definitely be booking with Sam again!”

“Sahara was outstanding. She met with us earlier in the week to go over everything. The dogs loved her and the house was tidy when we returned. We plan to hire her again!”


“Best first experience ever! Dejon took excellent care of my Cookie. He even gave her the ear medication the ended up being a last minute thing. He took her for big walks and was very attentive to her!! He even sent me plenty of videos and pictures!!! Will definitely book again! Thank you Dejon for being amazing!”

“Bailey watched our Luna for an entire week at our home and there was not a moment that I felt worried about her care. We had a short meet and greet before our trip which also put us at ease. We received pictures of. Happy pup every day as well. But most of all Luna was happy and healthy when we arrived home . I would definitely love to use Bailey again for my pet care! Thanks Bailey!”


“Donald was absolutely amazing. He took such good care of my dogs and my home. He is a very friendly and trustworthy man. I give him more than five stars if I could.”


About: I have grown up my whole life with dogs from puppy to senior, as my parents both had dogs of their own and raised puppies. I am experienced with a wide variety of breeds from my time volunteering at the Fairfield Humane Society and have spent time pet sitting for many of my neighbors. I work remotely part time, so I set my own hours. This gives me ample time to spend with your best friend while you work or have other commitments to ensure everyone is happy and healthy. I have a fenced in backyard and am willing to cater my care to your dogs preferences from walk time to crate time and everything in between.

“Elyza was fantastic with my dog Cholula while I was out of town! She was communicative, friendly and left my apartment in great condition while watching Cholula. She was transparent during our scheduling and took note of all of Cholula’s quirks to ensure I felt as comfortable as possible while I was out of town. I couldn’t recommend her enough if you’re looking to have someone watch your pet while away!”


“This was our second time using Rose and we could not be any happier! We feel completely at ease having her in our home and taking care of our fur babies! She goes above and beyond treating our home with respect and making sure it’s even nicer than we left it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!”


“What can I say about Pat? She is amazing! Over the summer we needed to find someone to watch our dog at our place for two weeks in October. Not a small request trusting someone you don’t know. We asked to meet her prior to the booking and within minutes of meeting her, we knew she was the one. She is kind, personable, FUNNY and follows all the rules set forth by Rover and even our small requests. Our pup absolutely loves her as much as we do. We got updates, videos and photos every day which showed our little girl really enjoying herself not to mention looking relaxed. A relief for our minds being 1000s of miles away. After a long vacation, we returned to a house just as we left it, clean and tidy, with even a nice little note, flowers and candy welcoming us home on our kitchen counter. What a nice and sweet touch Pat! ❤️ For this review, when we needed someone for the day, there was no one else but Pat for us. She notified us when she arrived on time and got cute pics throughout the day during play and nap times. I hate to share the secret how great Pat is, we want her all to ourselves! She is now part of our pup family. We love her, you will too.”


“We are so thankful for Kristi taking our last minute request to watch our 2 pups. It was a matter of minutes after she arrived that one had already fallen asleep and the other was getting pets and cuddles! She informed us throughout the night of when the dogs ate and went for little walks, it definitely put our minds at ease. Thank you again Kristi!”



“Very dependable and caring. Went beyond expectations! Highly recommend.”


“Jenna took really good care of our cat while we were out of town. She texted me every day and sent pictures. I will be sure to use her again in the future!”


About: Growing up, I had a Jack Russell-rat terrier mix named Scrappy. He was full of energy and had a fun-loving nature. Scrappy became an integral part of our family from the day we brought him home. My favorite thing to do was take him on long walks or enjoy watching him run around with other dogs at the dog park. He was a good boy, and we loved him because of his unwavering love towards us. Later in his life, Scrappy began having frequent seizures. He was put on a strict medication regimen that required us to mix gabapentin into his food twice a day. To ensure he got his medication at the right dose and time, I was responsible for splitting a capsule each morning to mix half of it in his bowl of food. Further down the road, Scrappy was diagnosed with renal failure at just 8 years old. Although Scrappy was with us for only a short time, he left an eternal imprint on myself and each of my family members. He was my best friend! As the roommate of a dog owner, I consider myself a co-pet owner and love her dog Caspian as I would love my own dog! I am looking forward to provide nurturing and genuine pet care to people seeking a dog sitter. I have experience in administering medication to pets as well as overcoming diverse situations. As a trusted dog lover, I will be committed to getting to know your pet and meet your dog sitting needs! I’m currently working full time Monday through Friday, and I am only available on the weekends (Friday night through Sunday afternoon!) to provide pet care! However, starting in June of 2025 I will be available any day or time and will be on summer break. At that time I can provide week long pet care to cater to your needs, such as if you’re just going on a vacation for a week! As a former dog owner, I provided exceptional care to my Scrappy by taking him on long walks and playing with him indoors and outdoors. Although I will not be offering services within my own home, I will care for pets in my client’s home by adjusting to their individual needs for their pet. If they have a fenced-in yard, I will make sure to take the dog out and pick up after them, while also taking them for walks outside. If they need require me to stay overnight I will ensure their pet is as comfortable and well-taken care of as they would be if their owners were home.

“Sydney was absolutely perfect with our dogs! We got home and it was almost like they were sad she wasn’t coming back! I cannot recommend Sydney enough as a sitter and we will definitely be requesting her again!”
