“Lulu is amazing! She dog sat for us for 6 days while we were on vacation. She sent an update and photos each morning and evening. Mika loves her! Lulu is our go to Dog Sitter!”
“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”
“Erin was so excellent with our two doodles! She sent us plenty of updates to give us peace of mind, and although we did not ask her to clean, I’m pretty sure she did. Our home did not look like somebody had been here dog sitting/house sitting while we were gone. We will definitely check to see if Erin is available again if we need future dog care. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Emma did me a great service and booked an overnight stay with my pup very last minute when my original sitter backed out. Emma took my pup on a drive and took great care of her. She also sent updates and pictures throughout the night while I was at work, which was greatly appreciated! Would book again!”
“Jennifer was so good with my dogs! I felt very comfortable with her staying with them. We already have her scheduled for our next trip. 🙂 I would definitely recommend her!!!”
“We loved having Vanessa! Dogs were happy and well taken care of. Vanessa followed all of our requests and answered very quickly. Went above and beyond spending her days with my babies!”
“Kayma was an excellent communicator and took great care of both the dog and our home while we were away. She provided us comfort and knowing she was there made it bearable for us to be away from our girl!”
“Regan was amazing! He communicated well, and took amazing care of our two, wild huskies on Christmas!!! This was our first Rover experience and we look forward to using him in the future!”
“We've used Mirette twice now to house-sit/dog-sit our older Westie, and she did a great job! She was great at communicating with us and was at the house the vast majority of the time with our dog, which we loved! The house was clean when we got home and we had no issues! We would recommend Mirette, and would definitely use her again the next time we travel!”
“Maryn did a great job watching our kitties. She stuck to our routine with their feeding schedules and left our home exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond with leaving food and water out for the neighborhood cats who were not included in the booking but who my husband and I look after. We will definitely be booking with Maryn again!”
“Taryn did a wonderful job staying with my dog Henry. She sent pictures and communicated with me often of which I like. She was very patient with him as he sometimes can bark a little too much. She was caring and left my home tidy which is important to me. I would not hesitate to have her come sit with Henry again.”
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”
“Abby is the best! Our dog and cat love her. She is an excellent communicator before and throughout the time she spent at our house. Provided us photos every day of our animals and they looked so well cared for. Left our house in immaculate condition as always. Would give her 6 gold stars if we could. Thanks Abby!!!”
“This was our first time working with Erkia and she did an awesome job. She gave us daily pictures and was very kind and communicative. We tend to "over inform" our dog-sitters so they know all the quirks of the home. Erika breezed in, did a great job walking and caring for our dog and left our home in great shape. Grateful!”
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I currently work 9-5 Monday through Friday. I can provide morning and afternoon care visits as well as overnight care when needed. Morning visits would be early morning around 7am for breakfast and afternoon visits anywhere from 6-8pm for play time and dinner. Weekends I am available all day. I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut.
About: I have taken care of dogs throughout my childhood and adolescence, and I am a dog lover through and through. I am patient with puppies and love taking care of both active and snuggly dogs alike. I am trustworthy and reliable. Following through and exceeding your expectations in taking care of your dog are always my goal. I am a public school teacher, so I am available weekday evenings and weekends. I am open to both long-term set schedules and more flexible situations. I live in the West Plaza area and love going for neighborhood walks, heading over to Loose Park, or taking pups to off leash dog parks. My apartment is smaller, but I prefer to spend my time outside being active and as opposed to staying indoors.
“Amazing caretaker. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were taken care of. My dog had a cough and she took him to the vet and kept me updated every step of the way. Would recommend her to any pet owner!”

Taryn was wonderful to work with. I had originally booked her for one night of watching my dog, Teddy.. When I became aware that I needed someone for two nights, I contacted her and she was able to adjust her schedule so that she could watch my dog for both nights. This was the first time I had ever used a pet sitter, so there was some apprehension. However, after reading some of her reviews that feeling diminished. After meeting her, any apprehension I had had disappeared and I knew O made the right choice. She showed up on time on both days. The first day, we made sure to meet in a public area. We had allowed enough time for her and Teddy to meet and get use to each other. It took a little bit for him to settle but he warmed up to her. On the second day, there was no "getting familiar" from Teddy. He was immediately at ease. Communication was excellent throughout. There was no assuming that something was ok. If there was something she wanted to do that we had not previously discussed, she politely asked me for permission. That only confirmed with me that I had made the right choice. On both nights, she sent me a picture of Teddy at rest as well as informing me about his behavior. As you might be able to tell, I was extremely pleased with Taryn and highly recommend her to handle you and your pet's needs.
Susannah was amazing. She communicated with me on a daily basis with photos and information about our golden retriever. I felt very comfortable about her attention to his needs. She brought her dog which was a great companion for our dog. I would highly recommend Susannah!!! When we returned, our house was in great shape and our dog was happy!!
Kayma was AMAZING! She did a great job communicating before her stay and during the stay she sent lots of updates and pictures of Otis. My house looked as if she wasn’t there when I returned. I was able to relax during my time away because I knew my anxious dog was being well taken care of, thank you so much Kayma.
Jess was amazing! She took such great care of our pups over the weekend, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re always really nervous leaving them since they’re basically our children, but she immediately put us at ease with consistent updates and communication. Even when there was an unexpected hiccup with the door (completely out of her control), she handled everything calmly and professionally. We especially appreciated her being there for them during the storms, since they get so scared—knowing they had someone patient and comforting with them meant a lot. We’d absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Hannah K. has cared for our three pets several times, and this most recent stay set a new standard. She is tremendous. We have three animals, and during this visit each one needed a different care routine due to injuries. Hannah handled it with total focus and confidence. Medications, special instructions, close monitoring. She stayed on top of every detail and never missed a beat. She treats each animal as an individual. You see it in how she adjusts her approach, how closely she pays attention, and how quickly our pets settle in with her. They trust her. That matters. She is also a dedicated dog walker and fits right in with our community of neighborhood pet owners. Communication is excellent. She sends thoughtful updates, shares great photos, and asks smart questions when needed. You always know what is going on, and you never have to chase her down for information. She also takes great care of the house. Everything is clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. During this stay she managed a power outage and a couple of storms without missing a step. No disruption. No stress passed on to us. She handled it calmly and kept everything running smoothly. We have used Hannah many times, and this experience confirmed it again. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals in her charge. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants their pets and home in capable, caring hands.
I can’t say enough good things about Kennedy! While I was in Mexico, she took such incredible care of my dogs and gave me total peace of mind the entire time. She went above and beyond—not only making sure they were happy, cared for, and loved on, but also administering their medications and kept everything on track. When feeding schedules needed to change, she adapted without hesitation and handled it all seamlessly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that kind of trust is priceless. I came home to calm, healthy, happy pups—which says everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly compassionate pet sitter!
