“Sophia is caring, and kind and will give your pets the attention they deserve. Sophia pays attention to detail, knowing my cats routine. Sophia provided me with detailed daily updates with photos of my cat. I came home to a clean house and positive reaction and playful cat. Sophia’s care and treatment of my cat provide me with peace of mind and I will certainly hire her again .”
“I recently adopted my dog and wasn’t expecting to have to leave her with a sitter less than three weeks in, and was pretty nervous about it. Vanessa put me completely at ease, and my dog, Scarlett, loved her immediately. She sent daily updates and even kept up Scarlett’s daily dog park routine. My cat is a grumpy old man, but Vanessa was great with him as well. If you’re anxious about leaving home, and want to make sure your pets have a caring and calming presence in your absence, then I highly recommend Vanessa!”
“Katie was amazing. She initiated a meet and greet! She stayed at my home watching my beloved puppy Alabaster. She kept me updated all throughout the time with pictures and updates. When I returned my puppy was more calm when I returned than when I left. I will absolutely have Katie watch Alabaster again.”
“Our 8 year old boxer, Oliver, loved having Omar stay with him! He enjoyed the play time, the on-time meals (always a biggie for Oliver), the multi daily walks and of course the evening snuggles! Omar left the house in very nice order and his communication throughout his stay at our house along with great photos was fantastic! We would definitely recommend Omar for anyone looking for a responsible, orderly, kind, animal loving person to stay at their house and take great care of their pet!”
“Didn’t feel like it was the first time meeting! She was flexible with my schedule and planned fun outings for my dog. She loved him despite his quirks. And he came home exhausted! Would highly recommend Sharon to anyone looking to leave their baby in a loving home.”
“Bianca ROCKS. She took such good care of my dog and my cat. She’s super responsive and positive. She made us feel so at ease while we were away on vacation. She took amazing care of the house and spent time making sure our pets had a good time and were fulfilled. We will absolutely be booking again with her.”
“Jo was an incredible sitter for my two girls, one a young pup and one a senior. She provided updates and photos and was great with handling the special needs of a senior dog. Highly recommend!”
About: Although at this moment I am a cat mom, I had a family dog since I was 5 years old I walked, fed and medicated, and I frequently dropped into my neighborhood houses when needed to feed and play with their dogs while on they were away. I have voluntereed at 2 different shlters beofre, taking care of both cats and dogs. Although small, I am strong and can handle medium and large sized dogs with relative ease, even energetic ones. I have the stamina to do longer walks if needed, and will feed, water and, if needed, give medication accurately when left with clear instructions. With my current life, I can't have a dog of my own, so I will live my dog mom dream through your perfect pup. I have a fairly flexible schedule, and the farther ahead you book, the more likely it is I can make your appointment fit. The best times to book are Tueday and Thusday morning, Wednesday afternoon and evening, Saturday night and Sunday morning. Other times are available, but at least a one day notice is needed to ensure availability. I do not have a car, so I am limited to pets within a fairly short radius and need enough notice to find a way there. I don't offer services in my home because my cats don't like other animals, however if you need me to come by and take care of your fur baby, leave a list of written instruction somewhere easily visible and whatever I need like food/medication, etc. somewhere easily accessible and I will handle the rest. If you want me to being any cat toys to play with them, please let me know before the visit.
About: I've cared for animals of all species since I was a kid. Whether it's for drop-in visits for play, walks, and exercise, or extended stays, it's always a joy to get to know each animal's unique personality. Whether they're full of energy or full on couch potatoes I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. I have experience with senior dogs, anxious dogs, highly active dogs, and those with specific medication schedules. I'm also experienced with (and a big fan of!) caring for cats-whether they're shyer with new folks or instant lovebugs! I'm available daytime Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and during the weekend. I also have flexible evening availability during the week. I am available for house-sitting both over weekends and by arrangement during the week. I care for people's pets in their homes, either on a drop-in basis for walks, play, and exercise, or for overnight pet-sitting. I like to begin with a meet and greet with owners and pets to get to know both parties, and get an introduction to the care needs and personality of the pet. My goal is to create a comfortable, relaxing environment for your animal and to communicate with you so that you have peace of mind while you are away.
“Teri was absolutely amazing! I was very nervous leaving my dog for 5 days. After meeting and throughout her stay I felt so much better. She sent me daily updates and pictures which helped a lot. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. Highly recommend!!”
“Just excellent. Will stayed at my home to watch my boys (2 pitties) and he was communicative and shared photos the entire time I was gone. It looks like my dogs had a blast. I’ll definitely call on Will for help again and it’s such a wonderful peace of mind knowing my dogs were in good hands.”
About: I have the unique perspective of a college education and multiple careers that focused on animal behavior, welfare and care. I grew up working on my families farm and riding horses, before going to school for Conservation Biology, entering field work and research, and since January 2022, being a Zookeeper! I love all animals, big and small, domestic and exotic, and have worked with them the majority of my life. I personally have always had cats, reptiles, rodents and fish as pets, but have always been relied upon by neighbors, friends and family to take care of all their furry (and scaly) friends as well! I also have years of experience with animal training as well, working with both North American River otters and black bears. Training is of special interest to me and while I do have years of practical hands on experience, I hope to pursue official certification soon too. I'd love to give your pets the care, affection and attention they deserve! I'm currently moving to a part time position within my career to allow for more flexibility so I'll have plenty of time to give love to all of your pets. Currently I'll have Wednesdays and Thursdays available, as well as most nights Mom/Tue/Fri/Sat/Sun after 4:30 pm. I do not have the space to board pets in my home as I live in a one bedroom apartment with my partner and our two cats. However I am very outdoorsy and active and would love to take your pet for long walks or hikes in all their favorite places, and I'd be more than happy to provide outstanding care within their own homes!
“Madelyn dog-sat our pup Lucy for almost a week while we were out of town- she was incredible. She treated Lucy like she was her own- great walks, extra care, and lots of love. She also kept us updated with frequent pictures and texts. Madelyn was kind, thoughtful, and super helpful. I recommend Madelyn to everyone!”
“Libby is a fantastic and reliable sitter! She kept us updated throughout the long weekend while we were gone, and took our pups for plenty of long walks. Our anxious dogs can be a handful but Libby made them feel safe and loved! Definitely will rehire next time”
“Carolina is such a blessing! If I could give her six stars, I would! She loves our pets and treats them as she would her own! Her communication is consistent and impeccable. A true professional! Thank you so much!”

What really sets Kori apart is her professional experience—she works as a zookeeper at our local zoo, which means she not only loves animals, but she truly understands them. Her patience, kindness, and calm nature shine through in everything she does. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Kori caring for their beloved animals. With her, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in compassionate, capable hands.”

Stacey is the best dog sitter - Not only is she an expert with dogs (yes, my pup is very strong willed!) but she is very responsible and sent continuous updates. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in her care and my dog returned to us very happy (I'm pretty sure he even wanted to go back to play more!). I would recommend Stacey to anyone!
Alycia was awesome! She sent pictures frequently, asked questions about Rose and sent daily updates. I could tell by the pictures Rose really bonded with her. Alycia did puzzles and activities with Rose. Rose was a happy pup when we returned and the house was cleaner than when we left. Thank you so much for taking care of our pup we couldn't have asked for a better sitter.
We feel so lucky to have found Eva to care for our golden retriever and black lab! She was incredibly reliable, kind, and took our dogs on so many fun adventures. We really appreciated her background with dogs, how easy she was to communicate with, and all the updates she sent - they gave us so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!
Katherine did an amazing job watching our dog Subi over the weekend. Our pup is a rescue and has some anxiety triggers, but Katherine was super thoughtful in how she met and handled Subi, and provided many updates of Subi's well-being while we were out of town. We know Subi had a great time and we would certainly use Katherine again in the future.
Maria was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and Maria was so accommodating with a last minute request to watch our dog, Zolie. We felt so comfortable leaving her with Maria as she has experience with reactive dogs. We would definitely love to work with her again!
Can't say enough about Hannah and the excellent care she gave my dog and home. Hannah kept me informed about how my dog was doing and her schedule. Hannah just took complete charge and I will definitely ask her to come again. Because of her I completely relaxed on my weekend away.
Emily did a great job with our animals, staying with them while we were away over the holidays. She was really communicative leading up to us leaving, and provided great updates while we were away. I could tell she really enjoyed being with our animals. It was great to know they were well taken care of while we were gone.
