“Maria is a fantastic pet sitter who treats your pets and your home like it's her own. She follows instructions and sends plenty pictures of my pets often. She is by far the best sitter I have hired and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”


“Amy was amazing! She took incredible care of my 4 little ones, including my special needs dog, while I traveled for a long, stressful weekend. She gave regular updates and clearly cared for my pets like her own. I couldn’t be happier!”


“Katie was such a wonderful pet sitter! She took care of our large lab-mix and 4 cats over the course of a weekend. She was quick to respond to setting up a meet and greet and responded immediately to our booking request. During the weekend, she set us updates and pictures so we could be sure our pets were having fun! She helped to ease our anxiety about leaving our one cat who is a "runner"! She even walked our dog in the morning before she left which left the pup calm until we got back home. I would 100% recommend Katie to anyone looking for a pet sitter/dog walker! Thanks again Katie for the organic veggies!!”


“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”


“Zana watched our two dogs and cat for a week and we are thrilled with our experience. Zana was extremely communicative and sent great pictures along with the updates. Our elder dog got sick and Zana was a champ handling some unexpected cleanup duty, leaving our house nice and clean. We sincerely hope we can rebook Zana the next time we leave town.”


“Bria was fantastic. This was our first time booking with her and the meet and greet went smoothly. She took excellent care of both Hampton and Neko and kept our home clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We are already looking forward to having her sit for us again soon. Highly recommend.”


“Pre was a God send. She took great care of my pups for a weekend. She stayed in constant contact and my pups really enjoyed her being here. My only request for next time would be to talk with any sitter about cleaning. I am on the OCD side and when you have multiple dogs, having a clean and odor-free home is crucial to me. Sitters are not housekeepers but I would need to ensure the sitter is willing to do some light housekeeping. I would definitely use Pre again because she was accommodating and beyond personable. She felt like I had family watching my dogs.”


About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)

“Natalie stayed over for several days while I was away and took amazing care of my cat and home. She is so reliable, kind, and professional. I would highly recommend her!”


“Ty is super helpful and communicative! And our cat loves him! Cat barely comes out to play with other sitters, but Ty always seems to entice our cat to play, and sends pics. Thanks Ty!”


“Victoria is absolutely amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times and she takes incredible care of my pets. My cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her and even sat on her lap! He doesn’t do that with anyone but me which speaks volumes of how caring Victoria is and how safe he feels around her. She is the best sitter and I highly recommend her!”


“We recently used Jessica to stay with our dogs for a week while we were away. She was wonderful in communicating and sending pictures daily! I felt comfortable that our dogs were being well cared for! She left our home in great condition and the dogs seemed very happy! I’ll definitely hope to use Jessica for our future pet sitting needs!??”


“Ren was fantastic! I appreciate the level of care they shown my dog- accommodating his needs since he's dog reactive ensuring safety and comfort along with taking care of my home. I'm grateful for the level of care and would recommend Ren for persitting.”



“Allison took great care of my dog while I was away on vacation! When I returned, my home was just how I left it. Highly recommend her as a dog sitter and walker.”


“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”


“Jasmine took great care of my two dogs for the weekend. Lots of check ins and pictures. It was my first time using Rover and had a great experience. Already booked with her again!”


“Michael is a kind, compassionate care giver and clear communicator who goes above and beyond to find solutions. He is attentive to our home as well as our dog.”


“Ivan has shown tremendous patience with our overly anxious puppies. He was amazing with communication through out the stay. I plan on using him again for future trips and highly recommend him for others to use as well. The videos he sent were adorable and made us feel very safe for him to have out animals.”
