Emily did such a great job watching my special needs dog! She was attentive, caring, and dedicated to making sure he was safe and cared for properly. She sent photos and videos everyday! She kept my place clean and made the bed. Highly recommended!

Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!

Kendra was fabulous. Visited 2 weeks prior to meet Saul and look at the home/location. Quick to respond to texts and sent photos often. Home was just as I left it and came home to a happy Saul. Thank you!

Allison did a great job with our elderly, diabetic dog and our cat while we were away for a trip! Our animals were well cared for, and our house was taken care of for us while we were gone. Allison followed all of our instructions, and communicated well. We would definitely reach out to Allison for help again!

Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!

Alex took care of Marshal and Mojo while I was taking care of my husband in the hospital. He walked, fed, and played with two large breed dogs at a very stressful time in my life. Alex was trustworthy, punctual and loving when taking care of my dogs. He was always willing to do more and payed attention to detail with the dogs and my home the multiple times a day he cared for them during this time. I highly recommend Alex if you’re looking for peace of mind when needing someone to care for your pets.

Nichelle is an energetic person who cherishes animals. She is a great mom to her dog, Freckles. She has a special bond with dogs--they are drawn to her and seem to love her instantly. She is a very warm and fun person who instantly shares her heart with animals, whether it be her own dog or other dogs we may encounter while on a walk. It is honestly inspiring to watch the joyful way Nichelle interacts with animals. She delights in their individual personalities and enjoys doting on them. I was especially impressed at the careful attention she pays to her own dog's diet and care. She is also very meticulous--always making sure her dog is well groomed and of course, cleaned up after on walks. Nichelle's huge heart for animals makes her an ideal candidate to work with anyone's pet.

We're over the moon with Tarah's stellar care for our two bulldogs while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, from giving them their daily Benadryl to dealing with their sassy attitudes with patience and grace. Coming back to a house that was better than we left it and two happy pups was the best feeling ever. Tarah's genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, making her our top choice for pet sitting. If you're looking for someone reliable and caring, Tarah's your person. Huge thanks to Tarah for making our time away stress-free and our dogs' tails wag like crazy!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and even style their pets! Not only did I take care of others but I have my very own fur baby that I’ve been taking care of since I was a kid. I’m currently a part-time college student, a dog groomer, content creator and an aspiring entrepreneur to open my own business one day. I love to stay busy and active so your pup will get plenty of energy with me! I love to work out routinely and it’s so much more fun with dogs at my side! I am available all week and weekends just shoot me a text to let me know ahead of time, what’s your schedule, etc. I have a fenced yard and I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby accompanied! I can crate my dog or yours if needed. I love all dogs as they are my own. It’s in my religion that animals are most sacred, so you can trust your pet is in good hands! I’m not greedy, not in this for the money, I’m willing to negotiate prices, whatever’s easier for you and to make your life more peaceful. Seriously! I do not mind! :)

Keirston was fantastic! As soon as I met her I was confident my pets would be well taken care of. She sent us great updates and took care of stuff around the house as needed. You could tell by the photos she sent that the pets were happy and got along with her great!

Lacey has taken excellent care of my two Boston terriers on a regular basis for years now! One is a senior who needs carried up and down stairs with assorted health issues that come with age including needing eyedrops and different meds. The other is a high energy little guy who needs constant cuddles, playing & attention. Both absolutely adore her and I know they get the best possible care with her! I travel often for work & she’s the only person I feel comfortable leaving them with. She’s also incredible with cats of any age & temperament. Your fur kid will thank you for having her come hang out with them. Couldn’t reccomend higher.
