“Very happy we found Sarah. She stayed with our two pups and kept us informed all throughout our getaway. She was responsive and followed our instructions—asking clarifying questions to be sure she was doing as we requested. I don’t want to tell everyone how wonderful she was because I want to keep her to ourselves!”


“Laura was great! She took great care of my dog and 4 cats. Laura was responsive and polite and seems to really love animals. She did everything I asked and sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”



“Johana was great with my Yuki. Yuki needs her medicine twice per day, early in the morning and in the evening and Johana was able to make sure she was taken care of. It's not easy for me to trust that Yuki is being taken care of, but Johana did a great job and sent me notes to know that she was ok and happy and safe. She went the extra mile for me and I really appreciate how nice and supportive she is.”


“Can’t thank Sandy enough for taking such good care of my pups while I was gone. I get really nervous about new people watching them but after I saw Sandy interact with them I could go on my trip without constantly worrying & that means so much! Definitely booking again :)”


“Haleigh was terrific! She stayed at our house and took great care of our two pups. We got regular pics and updates and the pups seemed very comfortable with her. She gave meds and took them for walks and fed them - all with great care. We highly recommend her and will not hesitate to use her again.”


“Scott was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him for you dog sitting needs. He took Hugo on multiple long walks and hung out with him during the day. He also brought him to Brewhound for some play time. We loved all the pictures, videos and tracked walks as well. We will definitely be using him again in the future. We felt at ease knowing our pup was being cared for by Scott.”


“Nicholas and Melissa are absolutely wonderful. My dog Luci had small medical issue right before I had to go out of town for work. Melissa stayed with my pup and took amazing care of her. She she treated Luci as if she was her own, and kept me up to date the entire time. Melissa made a very stressful situation much easier for me and my girl. I highly recommend both Melissa and Nicholas if you need caring and dependable pet care. Both of them are truly animal lovers, and I am so incredibly grateful I met them.”


“Sara is a kind, reliable, and caring sitter who treated our pup like her best friend while we were away. She stayed overnight at our house and left it in pristine condition. She even followed my overly detailed instructions to a T. I highly recommend Sara for dog sitting and house sitting!!”


About: I’ve luckily grown up with dogs since I was 15 years old. I have plenty of experience dog sitting (and house sitting) for friends, families and colleagues in the past. I’m often the one that’s called upon for check-ins on pets while friends/family are away. This has made me a reliable source and in turn has made me comfortable with all sorts of dog breeds of all sizes. I’ve cared for dogs as small as a Maltese and as big as a Newfoundland! I’m also equipped to handle dogs of all energy levels. I currently have a Doberman and pitbull so I am also familiar and comfortable with ‘scary’ breeds. Both my dogs are considered senior dogs although they have the same energy as when they were pups! I’ve cared for easy going dogs and high maintenance dogs that require special care such as medication distribution. Let me know what works best for you and your fur friend and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I’m currently unemployed and looking to spend time with some dog(s) in the midst of job searching! I have ample time during the day to spend on walks, play dates, and belly rubs. I have two dogs of my own who I take on long trail walks every day (if the weather allows it). They also enjoy going to the dog park and the occasional beach walk. Both of my dogs are senior dogs so they don’t have as much energy to keep up but still are full of life and I think it’s because of our active lifestyle and homemade dog food. I’m adept at listening to the dogs cues if they are getting overheated or need to let some zoomies out with some play time.

“Outstanding personality with my babies. She had to give my dog meds due to bad thunderstorm. Lauren played inside by outside and just kept my babies from not missing me when I had to go away. With Laurens help, they did not suffer with separation anxiety and it was as if I never left them. Thank you Lauren. We will have you sit again. They love you already.”


“Katie was great with Johnny and the cats. My dog Johnny recently had surgery and Katie went above and beyond to make sure that he was cared for and comfortable. I highly recommend her. She can watch Johnny any time.”

“Emily is not just an amazing Rover sitter. In her young personal life she shows exemplary leadership and caring for the greater community. She’s become my go to sitter for my what is my only kids my Great Dane and little kitty.”

“Teresa really went above and beyond! I was nervous about leaving my babies for a few days but my mind was very quickly at ease. She sent pictures frequently and they seemed very comfortable with her! The house was exactly as we left it, if not cleaner. Will definitely be booking with her again!”


About: As a former veterinary assistant and kennel technician, I have experience working with a wide range of dog breeds, each with their own unique temperaments and personalities. This, combined with my previous experience as a dog sitter, makes me confident in my ability to care for any furry friend I have the pleasure of meeting. In addition, I grew up always having lots of dogs, which has instilled in me a deep love and compassion towards them! I am currently not working, allowing me to be very flexible in the days and times I am available to care for your pet. Weekdays as well weekends are work perfectly for me, and I’d be happy to accommodate any schedule that best suits you. When caring for pets in a clients home, I always make sure to adhere to the instructions the owner has given me regarding their pet/pets. Whether it’s a specific feeding schedule, a preferred food type, daily walks around the neighborhood or in the backyard, or administering medications. I make it a priority to ensure that everything is properly taken care of while also giving the pet plenty love and affection to help them feel more comfortable and at ease in their owner’s absence.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for a few years. They relied on me to watch the dogs, feed the dogs, change the water, and let the dogs outside in the fenced in yard. I am currently working about 16-28 hours a week with my job. I try to check on the dogs or cats every 4 to 6 hours. They have a fenced in yard and give instructions as to what is expected of the care for their fur babies. They leave contact numbers to call if there is an emergency.

“Jasmine is the very best... She always takes care of our frenchies and they love her.. Pics are always sent and she'll go the extra mile, if you're running late.. Thank you sooooo much 😊”
