“Leesa was the best sitter for our two dogs that you could ever hope for! We went on a trip for my 60th birthday and she watched the house and dogs while we were gone. She took them on walks, played, snuggled, gave their meds and fed them (she even cooked some special chicken for them!) It was like they got a little vacation too! They might have been a bit mad that we didn't cook for them when we came back, but they got over it! She sent us lots of updates and pictures the whole trip. She even cleaned up and washed the linens and towels she used before she left! We Love Leesa!”


“Brandon was so awesome and communicated so well with us while we were gone . Our dogs were so happy to be with him and he sent us plenty of pictures . We will definitely be sticking with him any time we need a dog / house sitter :)”

“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”


“Mia made fast friends with my 2 rescues! And they don’t usually warm up to strangers quickly. (They weren’t treated well by the people who had them for the first 6 months or so of their lives.) Mia kept me up to speed on their adventures while I was gone, sending me pictures and telling me how they were doing. I am so glad that we found Mia - I will definitely use her again to care for my kids! 🐾🥰”


“Tatum was absolutely amazing! Last minute booking that saved our vacation! The updates through out the day and pictures where reassuring things were going well! Maverick enjoyed her company. Would love to use her again!”


“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”


“Katharine was a wonderful sitter for our week away. Rocko seemed very loved in our absence and the house was left in perfect condition. Looking forward to using her services again!”


“Ella was excellent watching my 3 dogs. She stayed at my house while I was away. She spoiled my babies and they loved her. Highly recommend. She sent photos frequently and stayed in contact with me. When I arrived home there were fresh cut flowers and fresh eggs (She also watched chickens and ducks) i am thankful I found Ella. Thank you for doing a wonderful job.”


“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”


“Christina took great care of our pets and our home! Even with freezing temps and 6 inches of snow on the ground, she made sure our high energy pup was exercised and entertained. She sent daily updates and always let us know what she had planned for the day. Our house was very tidy when we got home and the animals were very happy.”

“Valerie was the best pet sitter we have had. She took great care of our 3 dogs and cat. Usually when we get back they are so relieved for us to be home but I think they missed Valerie which makes me happy. I would highly recommend her. Our dogs can be at times a little much and a little overwhelming, but she took care of them great.”


“Lisa was phenomenal. She not only eased my anxiety while away, but our dogs were also kept calm and happy in her care. Lisa went above and beyond with her daily updates that included photos and/or videos of our fur babies. She stayed in our home and also took good care of that, too! Lisa was professional, kind, and honest. I absolutely look forward to working with her again and would recommend her to anyone in search of a reliable, compassionate dog sitter.”


“Victoria was so great with our puppy during his first time with us away from home. He’s very skeptical of strangers, but we got pictures of them snuggling on the couch the next day! We were able to relax on our trip knowing that he was well taken care of.”


“Emma helped out at the last minute when the original plan fell through and I needed someone before an important weekend out of town! She took great care of Finley and he was extremely happy!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for the majority of my life. I have grown up with dogs as pets my entire life, ranging from small dogs to big dogs, and puppies to senior dogs. I have not only provided care for my own pets over the years, but my neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me to take care of their pets as well. Some services I have vast experience in include dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, and more. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! My schedule every week varies, but I generally have open availability in mornings, mid day, and evenings. Safety is my number one priority when taking care of your pets. I understand that dogs are more than just pets, they are family, and I will do anything in order to protect and ensure the upmost comfort and enjoyment for your pets when they are under my care.

“Brianna took great care of our Princess Potato “Pinky” She is a great communicator always letting us know how things are going and sending pictures. I would recommend Brianna to anyone wanting a trustworthy, kind dog lover to care for your beloved pet.”


“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”


“Michael took care of our dog and cats while we were out of town and he did a great job! He was polite, punctual, and communicative. He sent many updates and photos, which we love! Would definitely recommend him and we plan to use him again!”


About: I am a dog lover! 🐾 Well, I adore animals in general. I love being able to give them the care they need. I have no children of my own but I am a full-time dog mom and cat mom. I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Plus, I do not mind cleaning up messes! Spoiling pups and cuddling are two of my favorite things. Dog walks are fun for both of us because we both get exercise and fresh air! I have a wonderful, sweet-as-can-be pup at my house named Mister. He gets along well with the cats. He is a nice boy but if he needs to be separated I am prepared to do so, he has a crate. It would be ideal for your dog to have one too if he/she comes to my house. I am very excited to sign up for Rover~ I'm really looking forward to meeting and caring for pups! 🐕 At this point in time I am available on Saturdays only. I am starting a new job and soon I will update my new availability in the near future. ☺️ I have a fenced yard at my house and a dog who would LOVE to be friends~ (if the owner says it's okay and the dogs get along well together, of course)! If I am dog sitting at your house I will follow care instructions and behave as if I am on camera. Showing respect to your home is important to me and providing excellent care for your dog is #1!

About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and instinct. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I work a very flexible job that allows me to work from home when needed to take care of your pets during the day. I am free almost every evening and weekend. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I take time to bond with each pet through play, attention, and calm companionship. I keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.
