“Super nice & easygoing. Did everything I asked and my puppy and home were in one piece when I got home. First time using Rover/letting a stranger into my home while I wasn’t there and I felt good about it. Grateful for that peace of mind.”

About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.
“We had Kaitlyn stay at our home over Memorial Day weekend to care for our two dogs, and she was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond, doing two home visits before her stay to get to know our pups and ensure they were comfortable with her. One of our dogs is 15 years old, deaf, on several medications, and prone to wandering at night—which requires a lot of patience and attentiveness. Kaitlyn handled it all with care and compassion. Her communication was excellent; we received daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the house was spotless and, most importantly, both dogs were calm and relaxed. That’s not always the case—so it was clear they felt safe and cared for. We couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care Kaitlyn provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter.”
“Amber was very accommodating of our last minute request. We were glad to know our cat and dog were taken care of while we were away. She sent a few updates throughout the day and pictures were sent on request.”
“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”
“Mary was absolutely WONDERFUL cannot recommend her enough!! Left our house beautifully clean and the animals absolutely loved her! She even brought them some parting toys on her way out, so nice! Tons of updates and pictures, felt extremely safe with her on our home 🩷 even our super shy kitty loved her!!”
“Kate was great! She was super communicative and sent us lots of pictures while we were gone. We could tell our pup had good exercise and was well taken care of while we were gone, and our house was just as we left it. We will definitely book Kate again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and ages for several years. Most recently, I provided long term care for an elderly dog with high anxiety. She required extra patience and special care— two things that I would be able to provide your animal as well! I am available before or after work on weekdays for drop-in visits or walks. I am available full-time on weekends for the same two services. I offer updates to pet owners after every drop-in visit or walk. I prioritize safety and wellness with constant supervision and being mindful of my surroundings.

“Mandy was amazing. Wonderful communication, sent pictures and updates, and followed my high drive dogs’ routines and rules. She was extremely cleanly and respectful of the house. One of the best dog sitter I’ve ever had!”

Donai was amazing and we’ll be working with her again! Our finicky old gal, Meeka, wasn’t a fan at first (like she is with everyone, not Donai’s fault). But Donai was patient with her and let Meeka warm up to her in her own way. Donai walked her daily and followed our feeding directions and took great care of her like she was her own. By day 2 Meeka let Donai’s pet her and by day 3 there were cuddles and Meeka wouldn’t leave her side. Thank you so much!
Brooke was so wonderful with our two dogs!!! It was such a relief to find someone to take care of both our dogs while all my family was out of town. She did great giving one dog medicine and with making food for a picky dog. Also our house was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Brooke and I will be using her again.
Ryo stayed at our home and watched our Pit Bull for the weekend and was wonderful! Great communication, sent us lots of photos, followed all our instructions and we came home to a clean house and happy pup. Very grateful to have found him and will def work with him again in the future!
Montana was fantastic! We were so nervous as we had never left our babies before. I wrote way too many notes and she read and followed them all and took amazing care of all of our puppies. They absolutely loved her and I couldn’t have been happier 🩷🩷 Thank you for taking such good care of our babies 🩷🐺🐾
Anthony is amazing!! We had a sitter cancel last minute and reached out to Anthony. He responded right away and was happy to watch our energetic pitbull for a week despite the very short notice. He sent us lots of pics throughout the week and we were able to enjoy our vacay knowing our pup was being well taken care of. We came home to a clean house and happy pup!
Having to choose a random person on-line to stay in the sanctity of your home and treat your animals like family is on the list of “most difficult decisions.” We moved here from out of State and don’t know anyone. We have had to start from scratch in every aspect of life. Finding the right “fit” was a massive stress and undertaking. Word of mouth didn’t apply just moving here. We relied on Rover and we found an Angel. Not to be corny, but to those whose critters are their EVERYTHING- Angel 😇 is our best description. Ryan stayed at our home for ten days. He was gracious enough to come by my home three times before the actual “job” to make friends with my neurotic Pomeranian. So when he did come to stay, it wouldn’t be such a shock to her little mind. Ryan is kind, and a gentleman. I could totally tell he has been around all sorts of dog personalities as he spoke to Peanut on her level. He fulfilled everything asked of him, with no hesitation. I have never been so pleased and so content with a petsitter in my 50 odd years of life. I’ve gone from stressing out about finding a petsitter to stressing out that Ryan retires! To our family, he is irreplaceable. We will use Ryan in the future for everything . Now that we can have a life again and can actually go places together and the places don’t have to be “dog friendly!” Finding the best petsitter is absolutely priceless. Thank you Ryan, I have a new peace in my heart ❤️
DeAndria was absolutely amazing to our pups! One of our dogs requires a lot of attention & patience and she met his needs flawlessly. They got lots of love, snuggles, and walks! She sent us photos every day too which was much appreciated. We will absolutely book with her again!
