“We love Michele, but more importantly our dogs love her! She took such great care of them while we were away. Our house was well cared for too! She followed all our instructions, kept us informed, was great at communicating and sending updates etc. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely enlist her help again!”

“Ashley is the best, she takes such good care of my boys, even if they are not behaving. She loves them like they are her own, she is one in a million so grateful for her.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was pretty nervous leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. However, Arianna and her husband, Chris, made it a lot easier. They both were great with my dog and made sure he sticked to his normal routine and was comfortable. Arianna sent me updates and photos which made it easier to be away. She even cleaned and tidied up my apartment before I came home, which was amazing. Overall, I am super happy with the care Arianna provided!”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing, we’ve never had a pup sitter before and she eased every worry I had. Our babies have a hard time warming up to some people and she had them curled up on her lap sleeping in no time. I highly recommend her.”

“We are so blessed to have found Maddy. This was our first vacation without our dogs. Maddy sent pictures and made us feel so comfortable. Our big German Shepherd and our little Terrier absolutely loved Maddy! THANK YOU 😊”

“Katarinna provided us with excellent service. She is very conscientious keeping us fully informed during her stay with our dog. She was most attentive to our dog’s needs as he is a high energy dog and requires a significant amount of interaction.”


“I could see the love that Kylie had for animals when we first met with her. She came by twice in advance of our trip to get the dogs, especially Miller, comfortable with her. The only thing that keeps me from giving her 5 stars is that except for the first day, I had to initiate any check-ins with her. Once I did that, she sent pictures, updates, etc. She did say her messages were not going through but I would expect, since she had my number, she would send text updates. I hope she gets that resolved, as I would book with her again.”

“Rebecca did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter! She was flexible with my last minute changes and gave updates and pics. This helped my anxiety as my pup wasn’t feeling well when I left, so the reassurance was much appreciated!”

“Maggie is a great sitter and love that she brings he dog for our very active healer mix to run around with. She’s great at communicating throughout and send great pictures! Will definitely use her again and again”

About: I an 3 year veterinary nurse with 2 years experienced in pet sitting . I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that animals need more than just food and walks—they need love, attention, and a calm, reassuring presence while you’re away. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or medication needs, I’m reliable, attentive, and always on schedule. I also provide regular updates, so you stay connected with your furry friend. Safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. You can count on me to ensure your pet feels at home—even when you’re not. Trust, compassion, and care define my service. Let me give you peace of mind, and give your pet the love they deserve. I am currently a part time veterinary nurse so. I tend to be able to schedule myself very well to make sure I prioritize every pet I’m sitting and make sure they always come first. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of my clients animals. I pay close attention to their physical and emotional needs, ensuring they’re fed a proper diet, have clean water, and live in a safe, comfortable environment. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat who are literally my children. I currently don’t have a fenced in yard due to no need for one because my pets are really well and staying on my property. So when it comes to pet sitting in my home , depending on how trained the animals are I am some times able to have them roam free with my pets along with supervision or I tend to leash walk if that’s way doesn’t work out . I prioritize myself on keeping my pets safe and other people’s pets safe as well.
“Sharon was great with our harley she helped out with walking her and getting her use to going out at night again. Sharon kept us informed of everything that was going on with harley and how she was doing and sent us pics. We will definitely use her again.”

“We’re so pleased with how our pups were cared for. They received lots of love and attention while we were away. We were kept up to date with pictures that showed us our fur babies were happy. I highly recommend Kaela for taking care of your pets.”

About: I've never not known having a pet! My parents got my first dog 2 days after I was born, and just like in The Secret Life of Pets, we were inseparable! Since then, I have owned several types of species of animals, and ever since I became a dad, my love for animals has grown. All of our friends joke that we run a zoo at our house, but I absolutely love watching the bond between my kids and our pets. We currently have 2 dogs, 2 red-eared sliders, and a hamster. I have experience caring for puppies/kittens, elderly dogs/cats, pregnant dogs/cats, aggressive animals, and animals who need medication administered. I can't wait to love your pet(s) as my own! I'm currently a real estate agent / stay-at-home dad with a very flexible schedule and multiple available sitters with a short notice. Don't be afraid to book last minute! We absolutely believe in the safety for our pets as well as others' pets. My wife and I have been on both ends of the spectrum of having a very obedient, friendly dog, as well as being the owner of a dog that is triggered by unfamiliar faces in human and non-human form! No matter the needs, I will work to achieve them!

About: Hello, I have grown up around animals my whole life. I was in 4h and FFA. I have experience with giving meds as I have had do to with my own cats and dog. I love animals and think they are the greatest thing we can have. ❤️ I believe they can understand us in their own way. I have a 1st shift full time job currently and looking into a part time job so my schedule may be a little random but I will do what I can! I make sure they have clean water and fresh food when it is that time. I give sufficient bathroom breaks for dogs and make sure other inside animals have a clean bathroom. I can give medication that is needed. And plenty of play time when needed.
“Did a wonderful job house sitting for my 4 dogs! Was very responsive and sent pictures/videos for us. I felt like she was very reliable and followed all instructions I had for each of my dogs.”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all types as I’ve always had a dog throughout my life. I also have experience with cats, reptiles and fish. I am a stay at home mom so I can be pretty flexible especially during the school day. I would love to walk your dogs while you’re at work! I love to be outside! I have taken care of many neighbors dogs. I have a background check currently from being a substitute teacher. I truly love animals and would love to help.
“Rachael was so sweet and kind with my three pups. She was timely, an excellent communicator and I came home to happy doggies. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to love and care for your pets like you do. I will be using her services again in the future. Thank you!”
