“Kristina did a great job housesitting our elderly dog and three cats. She took care of our dog’s special needs and administered medication, sent timely updates and communicated clearly. Kristina even navigated a couple of unexpected issues with our house (a smart lock malfunction and a sprinkler system leak). We’d definitely have her back — hopefully she’ll have an easier stay next time..!”
“I truly can’t say enough good things about Jaime! From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly communicative — sending thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The biggest testament to her care? I came home to a happy, relaxed fur child who genuinely seemed like they hadn’t even noticed I was gone. That tells me everything I need to know about how loved and comfortable my child felt in her care. It’s not easy trusting someone with your furry family member, but she made it effortless. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter — and I would love to use her again anytime I need support. So grateful to have found her!”
“Anuja was a fantastic caretaker of our pets while we were on vacation. She provided regular updates and responded quickly whenever we had questions. She provided our pets with great care and attention so we always felt relaxed during our time away from them. She is very responsible and adaptable to the needs of our pets. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Keseniia was a joy to work with! She gave my cat lots of cuddles and playtime and was highly communicative and sent lots of great pictures. She left my home super clean- I look forward to having her housesit again and would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I love dogs and dogs love me. Live with many dogs and took care and house trained them. I love to go on walks,!and house sit these log bugs. It brings me joy to support and be in service to families. I Owned a cat for 16 years and then as an adult I have cat sit before. Cats often take time and adjustment to a new energy. So I allow the cat to come to me. I am an online energy healer/life coach and so I work daily on a computer and can be flexible with routine. I would consult and agree to the time needed daily or weekly with the pet care I like to ask for a printed out routine or schedule. Emergency contacts and possible things to do around the house so when the owner comes home they can relax and have everything still flowing in the house.
“Adam was available for a last minute booking which was greatly appreciated. He kept my older dog company, giving him breaks in the yard during a rather warm day. We look forward to the next time Adam can take care of Harper! Thanks so much!”
“Marta is and will forever be our first call when we need someone to watch our two little senior dogs! They are extremely nervous and shy, but they adore Marta and became so comfortable with her so quickly. Marta is organized, detailed, kind, and sends us many updates and photos when are gone. She goes above and beyond when house sitting for us, taking care of helpful tasks without even being asked. Hire Marta - you will not regret it!!!”
“Courtney was great with Monty. He has a lot of anxiety quirks but I could tell Courtney gave him a lot of attention while I was gone. I came home to a happy relaxed doggie!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience. Our dog was happy, got lots of exercise and new experiences and was well cared for. Annabelle was great! She stayed out our house for 10 days - and the house was spotless when she left. Highly recommended and will for sure be using her again.”

“LOVE Stephanie. I think Marley gets depressed for a couple of days after she leaves 😀. She constantly sends updates and photos and is very attentive to our old boy. We feel very comfortable having her with him. Highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Elizabeth stayed with my Pomeranians for most of November due to work travel and then a personal trip over Thanksgiving. I always hate being away from my pups, but after the first two short stays for my business trips, I felt really good about being far away for 10 days over Thanksgiving, knowing they were in good hands. As always, Elizabeth was communicative, responsive and I could really tell she was getting to know their personalities and quirks. She also sent really fun updates, with a bit of humor and witty writing, but even better, the stories she texted me about were spot on with how they behave as a little pack. In addition, after her stay, I was putting harnesses on them to go on a walk, I noticed that my 9 month old pup Evie, who always ran around crazy when it was walk time and wouldn’t let me put her harness on, was coming up to me to get her harness put on. So, not only did she take good care of them, she somehow got Evie to understand how to put her harness on, and that chase was not part of that process. I’ll be forever grateful for whatever magic she did to get Evie to want to put on her harness! I will absolutely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to stay with your pets while on vacation or business travel.”
“It was a great first experience with Rover thanks to Sarah. The communication and her timing were just phenomenal. She responded quickly too after inquiring if we are able to book with her despite us having multiple furbabies. I highly recommend booking her for your dogsitting and walking needs.”
“Rose is the absolute best! Our animals are challenging but she took the greatest care of them. And she left our house in perfect condition with the plants watered and happy. Thank you Rose!”
“We came in from out of town for a concert. Sydney was great with our girl Lola. He was also very accommodating and flexible with his time. I’d definitely choose Sydney again when we’re back up this way.”
“Jacquie is excellent! Right off the bat, our pup loved her vibe and was drawn to her. At our meet and greet, she was prompt, personable and genuine. Over the course of our trip, we received daily updates and photos, and Jacquie made sure to check-in if there was something we hadn’t explained or something came up that was off-schedule. She even brought our sweet girl to Thanksgiving with her family, so she wouldn’t be lonely. We will definitely book with Jacquie again!”
“you know when you find a diamond? when your pet sitter is loved by your dog: she smiles, tail wagging and her eyes exude such excited love when they see each other!! yeah- i am jealous!! brooke is so down to earth, professional and extremely friendly. brooke followed all of ryleigh's feeding schedules along with her prescription needs. brooke took and sent such adorable pictures of ryleigh: gave me peace that she is beng loved and taken care of!! beach and walks and love. yeah! i came home finding my home clean and neat as i left it and the HAPPIEST WELL TAKEN CARE OF PUP .... definitely a keeper!! (all ryleigh's, for sure!! lol) thank you, brooke. looking forward to having you booked with us again!!”
“Malia was wonderful with my pets! I was so happy to come home to happy, relaxed animals. It’s clear that Malia has a genuine love for pets. My two chihuahuas and cat seemed to really warm up to her. She's clearly responsible and caring, and I felt completely at ease leaving my little critters in her hands.”
“Cassidy stayed in our home for three days with our two year-old dachshund-mix, Fritz. She was super communicative and gave us frequent updates which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed instructions to the t and cared for our home. We ended up coming home a little earlier than our end time and she was able to accommodate the slight change in schedule. We would 1000% book Cassidy again next time we go out of town. We can't thank her enough for taking amazing care of our boy.”

Nicole is so great to work with. Immediate response to communication. She watched our home/dog on short notice. She was conscientious and left the house in beautiful condition. Our dog loved her. Nicole was very sweet to our dog. Would absolutely book Nicole again.
Marilese just spent a little over a week with our beloved boy Jacoby. Jacoby is a 6 year old black labrador. Marilese took very good care of our Jacoby and he was showered with love and presents and treats...the direct way to his heart. Marilese went the extra mile and respected our space and made sure it was exceptional for our return home. We look forward to having Marilese spend time with Jacoby in our home again. Thank you Marilese. ~Robyn
Sharon is the BEST!!! She provided prompt communication, several pics and videos of our pups, and took wonderful care of them!! She even vacuumed the pile of dog hair I usually come home to, took out the trash, and left the house as she found it!! She is 10/10 and I would absolutely recommend her!!
Jacquie is excellent! Right off the bat, our pup loved her vibe and was drawn to her. At our meet and greet, she was prompt, personable and genuine. Over the course of our trip, we received daily updates and photos, and Jacquie made sure to check-in if there was something we hadn’t explained or something came up that was off-schedule. She even brought our sweet girl to Thanksgiving with her family, so she wouldn’t be lonely. We will definitely book with Jacquie again!
Renin is the best of the best. Our dog Bandit (who has huge separation anxiety) just loves her. Renin kept us up to date with regular photos of Bandit looking as happy and pampered as ever. And she left the house spotless when she left. Could not recommend her more highly.
Amara took wonderful care of our dog and cats. She was in daily contact with us, asked questions when needed, and even took our dog to the vet when there was an unexpected need. She is very knowledgeable and kind, and a thoughtful house guest. The highest praise comes from our pets, who were calm and happy when we returned. Thank you Amara!
Sydney was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond to take care of our dog and our home and we were very pleased with his services. He provided consistent and helpful updates and pictures and we could tell our dog was having a really great time going on walks, playing, and hanging out. I would recommend Sydney to anyone without hesitation. We will be using him again for sure!
Kayla read all my instructions and was greeted enthusiastically by Ruki (plus she brought treats!) during her stay she communicated frequently with updates and pictures. I was delighted with her attention and care. Thank you Kayla, I hope Ruki gets to hang out with you again.
Maddie was terrific! We had a last minute cancellation of our regular dog sitter, Maddie was able to make an adjustment and care for our dogs while we were out of town for a weekend. The dogs definitely adored her, she sent numerous updates and photos along the way. One of our dogs is a senior, she has a couple medications and play restrictions. Maddie did a great job caring for her special needs. Our home was left in great condition as well, we will definitely schedule Maddie again and highly recommend her.
Ashley is just the best! Having her taking care of our little zoo makes me want to plan our next trip simply because I know the critters are cared for so completely and spoiled as much as they are when we are home. She sent regular updates, photos and videos and even worked around our anti-social kitty who wanted to be extra elusive 😂 Banjo adored his daily walks and having her to snuggle with back at home. I didn’t worry or stress at all which added another layer of relaxation to our vacation.
Ankke watched our elderly dog Ralph for 5 days while we were away getting married. Ankke was absolutely incredible!!! Ralph has a lot of special needs - he can't hear anymore, he has a heart condition, and he can have flare ups of back problems. We felt really at ease with Ankke - she kept us up to date with how he was doing with detailed updates, sent loads of pictures, and took wonderful care of Ralph. She seemed very, very tuned in to Ralph's needs and his emotional and physical state. Usually Ralph gets upset with us when we're away and can take a few days to warm up to us again, but this time was different - Ralph was so glad to see us and was in the best mood right from the start. We're so thrilled to have found Ankke and are excited to have her care for Ralph in the future.
Anke was fabulous. We met a number of times prior to her sitting so she could get to know our dogs. She contacted us and let us know if she had a question or a problem. Our male Bulldog can be a handful . She found ways to work with him on his Qwirks so they were both successful. I will be using her services again.
