“We had the pleasure of having Renee take care of our dog, Rufus, while we were away in Europe for 12 days, and we couldn't be more thrilled with her care! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing she would take care of Rufus like he was her own. Throughout the 12 days, Renee kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Rufus was happy and well-loved. She gave him plenty of cuddles and attention, which we could tell made him feel at home and content in our absence. Not only did Renee provide amazing care for Rufus, but she also went above and beyond in tidying up our house and even took care of our plants—something we truly appreciated! It’s the little things that make a big difference, and she certainly took care of everything with kindness and attention to detail. We highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our furry friend!”

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Maia was amazing! Great communication, great care, and remained patient when my pup would get a little rowdy. I loved all of the pictures and could tell my Bruce loved being with her!”

“Jessica house sat for 12 nights. She was very responsive, attentive, and kept the house clean. Mimi was well taken care of and happy. As an extra bonus, she was reliable and helpful in dealing with a few issues with the washing machine. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely fabulous! She is an outstanding communicator, sent tons of pictures, and took great care of an old dog and a neurotic one. 10000% would recommend and use again! 💕”

“Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!”

“Yocelyn obviously loves dogs, and my very anxious pocket bully fell in love with her immediately. Yocelyn has a relaxed feel to her, which was good for my dog, and she was also careful to give Farah her numerous supplements. She left the house as she found it and was responsive about letting us know how Farah was doing. Highly recommend!”

“Clancey is the best! Our boys are in great hands while we are away. She sends lots of photos and is a great communicator. She’s our first choice every time we need a petsitter-can’t recommend her enough!”

“We used Karachi for the first time to house sit our two dogs and were very happy. Quick and responsive to set up, stopped by for a meet and greet, showed up as promised, took great care of the house and dogs. We will happily use her again”

“Rachael was amazing with my fur babies. It is so hard to find someone to trust but Rachael really made me feel at ease while on my trip, and my dogs made a new bff. We will definitely be booking with her again <3”

“Brenay was amazing! She took wonderful care of our little guy. After we booked her we learned that Dilly would need surgery before we left but Brenay stepped up to the challenge and was able to care for him and give him his medications while we were gone. She was very kind and communicative and left the house very clean. We will definitely use Brenay again!”

“Kylee always takes incredible care of Olive and leaves us with a strong sense of security and peace of mind when we travel. She’s very responsive and respectful of our space.”


About: I’ve been around pets my entire life. I grew up with both small and large dogs with all kinds of different needs. Truly, I understand that each pet has its own unique needs which I’m patient and willing to understand. As an adult I’ve owned/lived with 3 small dogs (pug, 2 cavalier King Charles spaniels) and a cat so I’m fully capable of taking care of multiple animals at once. I’ve cared for both my cavaliers from puppy through their seniors years including one being in a wheel chair his last year of life so I have experience with dogs in all years of their life. My cat was adopted as kitten so also familiar with cats during all years of life. Over the years I’ve done pet sitting and walked dogs for friends and neighbors in addition to my own pets. My work schedule is flexible with a blend of in person and remote work so we can discuss a schedule that fits your pets needs. Safety, trust, and respect are extremely important to me. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and maintain a calm, safe environment. I treat every home with care and respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I believe clear communication builds trust, so I provide regular updates and photos and am always available if you need to reach me. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet and your home are in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and they have built me into the person I am today! The best parts of my days are taking them out on adventures, and I would love to do the same for your pets. I am a responsible, fun, and adventurous pet sitter, that would give your pets a great time. While I am home from college, I walk all of my dogs multiple times throughout the day and ensure that they are cared for satisfactorily. I also enjoy taking them on hikes and other outdoor adventures. The safety and comfort of your pet’s is my number one priority while sitting/walking. I respect your space and follow all instructions given very closely. I also pay close attention to your pet’s mood and behavior. I am extremely reliable when treating your home with care and your pets with the utmost respect.
“Erica was great with my cat, Darcy. She was very communicative and responsive. She sent me a lot of updates and pictures the entire time I was gone. I'll definitely reach out to Erica again the next time I travel.”

“Rebecca was great with our dog Nala! She watched her for a week while we were out of town. Rebecca was communicative and up front about her schedule so we could make sure it aligned with our needs. She sent picture updates and our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. We will reach out to Rebecca again the next time we need a sitter.”

“Stephanie did an amazing job. I enjoyed getting the daily updates and pictures, I can tell my pup had a great time! She also kept great care of my home! Highly recommend!”

“Kari took care of our dog and our elderly cat while we went away for the weekend. She was great. It was easy to work with her. She took great care of our pets and kept us updated with photos. She was great about setting up her arrival and departure times and we came home to a clean, tidy house. We would recommend her highly and we would love to have her come and stay with our pets again.”

“Melissa is wonderful with our two dogs. This is the third time she’s stayed with our dogs and we can’t wait for her to come again! Appreciate all the time she spent with them.”

Trusting someone with your pets can be so stressful, but Lei makes it easy! She is communicative, dependable and very kind to our two boys (1 cat/1 dog). Lei sends pictures regularly and gives informative summaries of her walks/check ins, so we’re never in the dark. Totally recommend her for any walks or stays!

I recently booked Juan to stay at my place while traveling and he did a great job. He provided me with daily updates about the walks, potty times, and feeding (since my dog is a little picky eater). He definitely took care of my dog as if he was his. My place was left cleaned and organized. I will add Juan as my primary in house dog sitter. Highly recommended. Thank you Juan!

Alice was absolutely fantastic, and we would not hesitate to use her again in the future. We were a bit nervous using a new sitter for the first time while leaving on an international trip, especially because one of our dogs is very high energy. Alice exceeded our expectations in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. During our trip, one of our dogs developed an upset stomach, and Alice was exceptional at communicating with us throughout the entire situation. She kept us updated regularly, handled everything calmly and thoughtfully, and made sure our dog was well cared for. When we returned home, both dogs were happy and well cared for, and our house was honestly in even better condition than when we left it. It was clear that Alice treated both our pets and our home with incredible care and respect. We would absolutely recommend Alice to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring house and pet sitter.

Katherine took care of our dog in our home while we were away - if she had not been available we wouldn't have booked the tickets. The steady stream of communication, pictures and reassurances (our dog is not the easiest to care for) were amazing. We came home to a healthy and happy dog - who didn't seem to have overly missed us if I'm honest - and tidy home - with flowers on the table to welcome us back. We couldn't be happier with - well - literally everything about how she looked after our dog.
Elizabeth is an amazing sitter! She watched our two dogs at our home, and provided exceptional care, with lots of regular updates. The dogs were very well cared for, with plenty of play time and puppy play dates. She clearly adores dogs and it shows! She also took great care of our home while we were away. Fantastic communication both before and during her stay. We absolutely will book with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Morgan was an incredible sitter. She house sat for 11 days and communicated with me twice a day — completely unprompted — always sending thoughtful updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She kept both the house and the cats exceptionally clean, and her updates included exactly the kind of details I was hoping for as a pet owner. Morgan truly understands what owners need to feel comfortable being away from their pets: reassurance that they’re safe, healthy, loved, and genuinely being paid attention to. Because of her care and professionalism, I was actually able to relax and fully enjoy my time away knowing everything at home was in great hands. I honestly wish I could hire her full-time as my cat nanny — she’s fantastic.

Clare was a great sitter! We have very young dogs and they can be difficult at times but she always had a positive attitude and I trusted her to take great care of them. She checked in and gave updates as often as we had asked. We will 100% be booking Clare again!

Dana did an amazing job once again with our senior Great Dane Harry. Dana was able to administer critical heart medications that he needs several times a day, giving us peace of mind while we were on an overseas trip. Harry loves Dana and I'm sure he will miss being spoiled by her! 💘

Diana was fantastic! She took such great care of Ollie while we were away — he seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got home, which says everything. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated, and her communication was excellent throughout. On top of that, she left the house neat and picked up, which made coming home even better. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Maggie did a great job watching our dog Audubon for the weekend. In addition to being very sweet and playing with Aud, she was proactively, timely, and followed Aud’s schedule to a tee. We got lots of updates and photos from Maggie and she left our house just as she found it! Would absolutely book again.
