“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of my pups! I loved all the photos and updates. They were happy and my home was as clean as I left it. Thank you, Chloe, Cohiba & Ollie look forward to seeing you soon!”
About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.
“THIS IS BIG! ROCCO LOVES CAITLIN :D! We threw EVERY spoiled little bratdog curveball at Caitlin and she delivered excellent poochy care with each loving pet, hug and cookie! (Truly, Schnoz was likely a cat in a previous life and is disgusted by all humans' inadequacies.) Caitlin spent three (probably long days) in our home with our moody little knucklehead .. and with us popping in and out. We were all a handful! Caitlin was prompt, caring, detail-oriented and devoted to Rocco having a bestest time ever while Mom & Dad were gallivanting around Funk Fest without him. (He even got to stop at his beloved Golden Lantern where all of the bartenders have finally earned their keys to his heart.) Our happiest moment was when Caitlyn sent over a picture of Rocco ALLOWING her to snuggle him. NO SMALL FEAT! Caitlin, you're a GODDESS, and we're thrilled to have found you! (Rocco is, too, even though he'll never admit it.) See you soon! :D”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.
“Caroline was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Jasper, Max, and Stella and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we came home to a house that was even cleaner than when we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Cheryl did an exceptional job staying at my house with my dog. My dog is acting like I never left, which shows she was comfortable the entire time. Bonus- the house was spotless. Thanks Cheryl!”
“Anna did a great job taking care of our pup and watching the house when we were gone. She was very responsive and gave me updates throughout our trip. She did a great job!”
“Abby is awesome! She sent a bunch of photos and updates while we were away, giving us peace of mind as 1st-timers on Rover. Abby was incredibly kind and respectful as our house guest for in-home sitting. Your pets are in excellent hands with her and we couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Martha stayed with our two pups while we were out of the country for a week and a half. She did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog who has some significant health issues. The dogs clearly loved her and were super loving with her. Thank you so much, Martha!”
“Ryan is conscientious, attentive to deal, kind, dog-loving -- he's the whole package!He was a support and trusted advisor to me on our recent trip when our older dog was not doing well. I cannot recommend him any more highly.”
“Sage was available last minute and we were happy to have him take care of our two Aussie’s while out of town a few days. They were happy and well cared for until his care.”
“Ashley took amazing care of our two dogs. Provided us with so many photos and updates and just went above and beyond. She made us feel completely comfortable that our dogs were in great hands while we were out of town. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Emily was the best pet-sitter we have ever had! She was caring, responsible, and had great communication. We received lots of pictures of our fur babies, and she checked in often, putting our minds at ease. We came home to very happy animals and our home was cleaner than how we left it. We will definitely be asking Emily to pet sit again!”

“John was very communicative and took great care of my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Photos or videos each day helped me feel less sad while away. Also, he watered my plants & took great are of my home. I highly recommend John & will call upon him in the future.”
“Janna was great! She came by to meet our dogs before we scheduled our trip. The boys seemed to really like her. She asked good questions to get clarification on our instructions. When it came time for her to sit with the boys we had lost our old boy. So, she only had to take care of our young dog. He can be a real handful. She let us know she played outside with him and took him for several walks during the day. We are pretty sure he felt like a king! Some of our plans were cancelled and we did not have to rush back home so we asked if we could adjust the time she would be there. She was very flexible. Since we were returning the same day as planned only many hours later than planned, she returned late in the day to let him out. Not only did she let him out, she took him for another walk. Way above the call of duty! When we got home, Dugan was happy and relaxed. Janna left the house in great shape. She wash sheets - something I did NOT expect but truly appreciated. We were looking for a new "Go To" dog and house sitter and she fits the role perfectly. We will definitely be using Janna again.”
“Karen went above and beyond while house sitting for our dog Bella. Bella was given loads of attention, the plants watered, house in order and great communication while we were away. Fantastic, I will definitely request Karen’s care again.❤️”
“This is the second time I’ve had Jan watch Ruby and I will definitely ask again next time I travel. Ruby is shy, and Jan is patient, caring, and gets her to come around pretty quickly. If you are looking for someone to trust to take care of your fur baby, I highly recommend Jan. Thank you again, Jan, so much!”

Chloe was an excellent house sitter and took wonderful care of both our home and our dog while we were away. She was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We returned to a clean home and a happy dog, and it was clear that Chloe treated both with care and respect. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
Ian did a great job and I came home to a happy dog and a clean place! I was worried because I was overseas for two weeks and needless to say, if I had to get back for any reason it would've likely taken 24 hours minimum. Didn't have to worry about that, and I was comforted by daily pics and updates;)
Khalifa was absolutely amazing. She was very understanding and accommodating—she helped a ton when I made some scheduling and booking mistakes (don’t be like me). Most importantly, she made our pup feel at home at gave him lots of love. She’s an excellent caretaker. 100% recommend.
Daphne was wonderful with Estes. We are from out of town and she was super flexible so we could go and enjoy our time in NOLA! Daphne was prompt, communicative and did just as we asked. We are looking forward to our next trip back to the city. Knowing our dog was taken care of made our visit even more enjoyable when we are out and about. I’d recommend her to anybody!
We had a great experience with Mackenzie! She communicated throughout the stay, left the house clean, and took such good care of my dog. She even treated him to a pup cup, his favorite. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Deana! She was so wonderful with our very, very quirky dachshund who was sick with pneumonia, and equally as wonderful with our very shy cat. She was also so incredibly responsive and reliable. She picked up meds at the vet, and made sure they both got everything they needed. She also had to deal with a water leak in our apartment and was on top of everything, and overall just very respectful of our space. She is the absolute best house sitter we have ever had, and she is truly amazing. Thank you Deana 🙏🙏🙏
David came highly recommended by a close friend who has trusted him for years to care for their pets while they travel frequently. From the moment I met him during a meet-and-greet at Brodie’s favorite dog park, I could tell he was genuinely kind and incredibly comfortable around dogs. He built rapport with Brodie right away. Before our trip, David also took the time to visit our home and familiarize himself with the space and surrounding area. He asked all the thoughtful, practical questions you’d expect from an experienced and responsible dog sitter, which immediately gave me confidence. While we were away for a week, it was clear David went above and beyond. Through our home security system, we could see him consistently playing with Brodie, taking him on daily walks (at least twice a day), and giving him plenty of attention and care. It was obvious they formed a great bond. When we returned, not only was Brodie happy and well cared for, but our home was in excellent condition. David kept everything clean, maintained the pool, and even watered our plants daily—details that did not go unnoticed. This experience proved to us that David is someone you can trust 100%. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet care.
Caroline was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Jasper, Max, and Stella and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we came home to a house that was even cleaner than when we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike! From the moment we connected, Mike was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Scout can be a bit anxious and requires extra attention, and Mike went above and beyond to make sure Scout felt comfortable, safe, and cared for. That meant the world to us. We received thoughtful updates and could tell Scout was in such good hands the entire time. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our sweet pup was being so well cared for. Mike is reliable, attentive, and truly treats your pet like their own. We would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Don’t hesitate—Mike is a gem!
