“James is so great!! Our cat and home were well taken care of- he spent a lot of time at home, and was even happy to book during the holidays. Our cat can be pretty distrusting of new people, and he took the time to get to know her and win her over. He kept up with her routines and checked in with us at least daily.”
“Danielle was simply amazing. We received tons of photos and updates throughout the week. She quickly communicated when she had questions and was quick to implement any suggestions. Our girl is so shy and has some trouble on day one adjusting to new sitters- Danielle was so patient and kind with our girl and she was back to her silly, snuggly and fun self in no time! We hope to rebook in the future!”
“Tessa was awesome! Our pets had a great time, she was consistent with communication and left us completely unburdened regarding our furry family while on vacation! Would 1000% recommend Tessa to anyone in need of a hand with your pets!”
“I never like leaving my dog for an extended period of time, but Mary made it not only comfortable but a pleasure to see that I can and should relax during travels and place trust in such a competent professional. I can't thank her enough for the excellent service.”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”
“This was our first time working with Jonathan as our pet/house sitter and it was a great experience. We were grateful that he was willing to stop by a second time before our trip so we could have the peace of mind that our dog would recognize him and be comfortable. He also sent us updates and pics every couple days and the house was just as clean as we left it. Couldn’t ask for more!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and in the last few years have been regularly petsitting for friends and mutual friends who need a dog lover to give them peace of mind that their pets will be cared for and loved on even when you're away :) I work full time, typically either 11-6:30 or 12-8:30 Tues-Sat (usually off Sunday and Monday). Infrequently I have later a later shift depending on work needs, and that usually means 3-11. Overall, I can be available in the morning, evening, and overnight around my work schedule! I'm an active person and love walks, so I can take your pet on very long walks and provide lots of play! I can take them out to the bathroom in the morning and evenings, and feed + administer medicine as needed. Overall, I enjoy getting to spend time with dogs so they will be watched and looked after (....and given lots of treats but that's between me and them)
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Star and Jack did an amazing job taking care of my senior girls. This is my first time using them and will definitely rebook. I felt so confident that my pups were getting the ABSOLUTE best care while I was away. So happy that I book them!”
“Madison and Ryan were amazing with our furbaby! We did a quick trip, but our pup was left in great hands. They were very attentive in making sure Nestle was comfortable and that my separation anxiety was at ease :) I received several adorable photos! We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Christian was absolutely excellent! Lots of good communication. Our two dogs loved her from the meet and greet and we feel confident we have someone to watch our house and dogs while we’re away in the future. Also took excellent care of the house. Highly recommend!”

“Hannah is the best House Sitter/dog sitter that we’ve had in a very long time! The dogs took to her right away. She gave us regular updates with pictures, which was fun, but she also left the house in a wonderful clean state, including some welcome home things! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Hannah is a professional.”
“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”
“Dakota was a wonderful sitter! Dakota came for a meet and greet a few days beforehand, and Wes was immediately relaxed. You can tell how much Dakota cares about taking care of your dog and their individual needs. We got several photos and updates throughout the time Dakota was watching Wes, which really put us at ease. We would absolutely recommend Dakota, and would be happy to have Dakota watch We anytime!”
“Our dogs fell in love with Nathan right from the start. He was great taking them out for walks, feeding them, playing ball with them, and cuddling with them. We will definitely use Nathan again!”
“We were gone for 10 days. Samantha house and dog sat. She is fantastic. Took care of them like they were her own. She even helped out and watered our outdoor plants since there was no rain. Highly recommended.”
“Lilian was wonderful for my last minute house sitting request! She was quick to respond, sent lots of updates, and so responsible. My dog Pearl was in great hands! I would certainly book again.”
