“BEST SITTER EVER! I truly cannot recommend Sarah enough. We adopted our dog 2 years ago and she struggles with separation anxiety, reactivity, and just nervousness in general. Sarah was the PERFECT temperament for Ruthie - so warm, gentle, and let Ruthie come to her. Sarah kept us updated multiple times throughout the day with photos, administered Ruthie's daily meds with care, and even sent us a video of the house before she left. I felt SO at peace know Ruthie was in such good hands with Sarah. BOOK HER!”

“Heather was great! 10/10 recommend to anyone. We will be using her again. We have an anxious dog and Heather was accommodating before her stay to come meet him multiple times so he could get comfortable with her. We received pictures a few days into the stay of him cuddling and wanting belly rubs so he became very comfortable with her. They weren’t as excited as they normally are when we get back from trips so I know they had a great time with her.”

“Dannie was beyond exceptional. They made me and my dog feel well taken care of. It was my first time leaving Penny alone for the weekend and she may have had more fun with Dannie than she does with me. Will 💯 book with them again! Thank you Dannie!”

“April took great care of my pup, sending regular updates/photos and he was very well taken care of when I got back home, and she kept the house very clean. Would highly recommend her for house sitting!”

“Margaret stayed and watched our dog Betty and our cat pickles over the weekend. She was fantastic! She sent updated and pictures all the time, I felt really good about leaving them with her. I will use Margaret again in the future!”

“Just incredible service. Lizzie kept me informed and made me feel so safe leaving my little guy with her (who has health issues so that’s saying a lot). Will absolutely work with her again. 5 stars!”

“Claire was great with our two pups. She was very communicative and responsive and took great care of our dogs, including our senior who needed extra attention. We would definitely recommend her!”

“Simone was so amazing! She was so communicative, and kept me updated throughout the trip. She cleaned the house and was so sweet to my Flynn! She sent consistent pictures everyday, which I loved. Would absolutely recommend her!”

“Ziggy loved Shelby! She was wondering, very trustworthy and took wonderful care of our 13 week old baby! She sent loads of pictures and updates and did tons of fun stuff with him. Will definitely use her again!”
“Cameron was the first over night sitter I’ve gotten for my kitten, Ziggy. It couldn’t have been any better!! She was kind, communicative, sent photo updates and made me feel at ease. I also came home to a pristine house after a weekend of travel and that was so lovely!! I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

About: I've cared for dogs all my life, from raising my own dogs to helping friends and family when they are away. Most recently, I cared for my beloved 16-year-old dog, Rudy until he peacefully transitioned, which reinforced that I understand the compassion and patience needed to provide the loving care for senior pets and pets of all ages. I am experienced with daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and administering medications, and I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow owner instructions carefully. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority. I love spending time with animals, and I look forward to making new furry friends. Pet care is my main focus. I structure my day around morning/midday walks, dedicated playtime, potty breaks and maintaining feeding schedules based on the needs and requests of my clients. I focus on keeping your pet happy and safe by sticking strictly to their daily routine. I provide regular exercise, prompt feeding and lots of attention. You'll get regular updates with photos, and I ensure your home is left clean, secure and tidy upon your return.
“Shatoria was great with my pup and 2 cats. She sent lots of photos and updates and left the sweetest thank you note. I really appreciate her watching my crew while I was away on a work trip and I plan to use her again!”

“Melissa was a wonderful dog sitter! She took the best care of my girls and treated them like her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative sitter. She also took great care of my home.”

“Dawn was amazing! She was super communicative before, during, and after. She supplied us with photos of our sweet babies and always made sure we knew things were good. Would definitely have her sit in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life — not just dogs and cats, but also rabbits and fish. Because of that, I understand a wide range of temperaments, needs, and behaviors. I’ve truly seen it all. I’m patient, calm, gentle, and very tuned in to how animals feel. I don’t rush them or overwhelm them — I let them build trust at their own pace. I’m great with: Senior pets who need slower routines and extra comfort Shy, anxious, or sensitive animals High-energy breeds (I’m a husky mom — I get it!) Multi-pet households Puppies who need structure and consistency Farm-type animals thanks to my experience with horses and goats I give every pet the same care and attention I give my own — with love, patience, and real presence. I provide detailed updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away. I’m not just a sitter — I’m a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience and a genuine heart for every creature in my care. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life — I’m already caring for my own animals daily, so adding in visits or walks fits smoothly into my routine. I’m home often, I keep a flexible schedule, and I plan my day around the pets I’m responsible for. I structure my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I leave plenty of space throughout the day for drop-ins, potty breaks, or longer visits. Because I’m used to caring for multiple animals, routines like fresh water, litter box upkeep, brushing, and medication aren’t something I “fit in” — they’re already built into how I operate. Whether it’s daily visits, weekend care, or a consistent weekly schedule, I make sure every pet gets dependable, unrushed attention. Pets truly are part of my everyday rhythm, so making them a priority feels natural and easy. When I care for pets in someone’s home, I treat it with the same respect and attention I give my own space. I follow your routines exactly — feeding schedules, walking times, playtime, medications, bedtime habits — whatever helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect from me: Routine & consistency: I stick to your rules, your schedule, and the way your pet is used to living. Cleanliness: I keep your home tidy — wiping paws, refreshing water bowls, cleaning up accidents, and keeping feeding/litter areas clean. Comfort & connection: I spend real time with your pet — not just quick in-and-out visits. That means playtime, brushing, cuddles (if they like that), or quiet company for shy pets. Safety first: Doors locked, alarms set, no windows left open, no escapes. I’m careful and very aware of safety. Daily updates: You’ll get photos, videos, and clear messages after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Respect for your home: Your space stays clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. My goal is simple: Your pet stays happy, relaxed, and well cared for — and you feel 100% confident while you’re away.
“Madelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.”

“Emma was awesome as usual taking care of Bodhi while we were away for a few days. She always leaves the house just as she left it and is so caring towards Bodhi. We look forward to having her again!”

Mada was absolutely wonderful! As soon as she came over for a meet and greet we could tell she was very attentive and asked thoughtful questions. She seemed to genuinely enjoy sitting for our dog, sent adorable photos, and left the house neat as a pin. We hope to be able to book her every time we need in the future!

April was absolutely phenomenal. She did a meet and greet very last minute and when we went to the hospital to have our baby, she was very flexible to make sure our dogs got the around the clock care so that we could focus on our family. The dogs are OBSESSED with April!!! She gave so many wonderful photo and text updates. We can’t wait to have April back so soon!!!!

Claire is a wonderful petsitter for our 1.5 year old golden retriever. She’s very personable to work with, considerate in her communications and highly conscientious about our pup’s needs, schedules and preferences. Both our pup and our home were well cared for while we were away.

Absolutely fabulous. Ali was such a find! She watched my house and corgi puppy for 12 days, and left my house in perfect condition. My neighbors all loved Ali, and my puppy especially was head-over-heels for her, was sad when she was finished. I really couldn’t be happier with Ali and the service she provided, I will definitely use her and Rover again. If you’re looking for someone to house sit/pet sit that you can trust, for longer time frames, then look no further, Ali is the answer.

Maddie was such a great sitter!! We were able to connect before the sit so she could meet the pups. She sent me daily updates and pics and Leo and London look like they had a great time. She was dependable and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Maddie and I hope I travel soon so i can use her again. ❤️

Alexis has been house sitting my pup for a couple years now and it's always a great experience, she is great with him, communicates, and I always feel confident he (and my house) are well looked after. She brings her dog with her and the two pups always have a great time together, highly recommend her for dog/house sitting needs!

Abbi and her husband were fantastic. Abbi was communicative, responsible, and clearly loves animals. We got updates while we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we got home, and the house was spotless. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

Matt was amazing! He house and dog sat while I was out of town and went above and beyond. Great communication, lots of updates, and my dogs were clearly happy and well cared for. I came home to a clean house and relaxed pups. I’ll definitely be booking him again. highly recommend!
