“Laura is professional, communicative, and wonderful with pets! We had to leave town last minute for a family emergency and were super grateful to find Laura. We had her stay at our home and were pleased to find everything clean and organized when we returned, and we got multiple pics of our pup each day! Would 100% recommend!”
“I can not say enough wonderful things about Carol! This was our first experience using her services and we were so happy! She is kind, caring, thoughtful, responsive and truly loved our dogs like her own while we were gone. She handled our special needs dog and our other dog who is sometimes fussy with a tricky tummy with absolute ease! She sent photos and updates daily which was very appreciated bc we are definitely worriers when we are away! Carol was just tremendous! We will 100% be having her back to care for our fur babies and look after our home! She is the BEST!”
“Cole was spectacular with our older basset hounds. He was able to get both of them on walks (not easy with one being a little grumpy with new people). Both dogs while happy to see us, didn’t seem like they had been stressed while we were away- a big improvement for us! Cole also kept our home on great order, dealt with a clogged sink, and even watered my plants (without me asking!). We can’t wait to use him again for future times away- the boys seemed to enjoy his presence.”
“Kai and Devon were awesome! They were so kind and friendly and our dogs took to them immediately. We knew the dogs were well cared for because of constant communication and pictures. When we came home the house was way tidier than ever before and my husband was so shocked. It was a great surprise to come home to - a sparkling clean house after vacation. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again for our next vacation.”
“All I can say is thank you! Angela came in and saved us last minute when we were in need of a sitter for our little man. This would have been our second time ever leaving him alone with someone else and we’re scared. However, Angela took care of him as if he was her own. Don’t second guess it and definitely get her assistance! Thank you so much Angela!!”
“Lisa was amazing with Panda! I booked her with less than a week’s notice, and she was incredibly responsive and professional from the start. She took the time to do both a virtual meet-and-greet and an in-person visit beforehand to make sure she and Panda were a good fit and that she was familiar with everything. During the sitting, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She also made sure Panda got plenty of activity, taking him on at least three walks. I would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter—I’d definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“Raquel is a delight. She is warm and responsible. Listens carefully to all instructions for watching your beloved pet and follows through. I recommend her without reservation!!”
“Roxanne gave us so much peace of mind when we had to leave our two older dogs for a week. One was having tummy issues and she made her special meals. She sent us multiple updates and pictures every day and our house was spotless when we returned. Will definitely use Roxanne again!”
“Matthew took good care of our very large, reactive dog while we were away. He sent us photos daily and was good at communicating if he had any questions. We will definitely be asking Matthew to watch our pup next time we go away.”
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
“Carismeldi is AMAZING!! We have never had a more caring, respectful & communicative sitter. She sent us very detailed updates and tons of photos which really put our mind at ease. Our house was spotless when we returned and Tyson seemed to have a great time with her. We are looking forward to booking with her again!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages since I was 18 years old! I’m a cat owner of 4 years myself as well, and my kitty is my very best friend. As far as sitting, I have done mostly done overnight stays, but I have done pop ins and walking as well. I’ve sat for small dogs and large, puppies, kittens and elderly pups. I absolutely love spending time around and caring for animals. I do work part time, usually averaging about 5 shifts a week. I make my own schedule biweekly, and my shifts are generally no more than 5-6 hours, so my hours are extremely flexible depending on when I’m needed! I am all for play, walking, and unlimited pets when I dog/cat sit. I will pay careful attention when it comes to letting them out if there is a fenced yard, as well as to their collar and leash prior to taking them out on walks. A pet owners directions are very important to me as far as feeding/potty/medication times, and I take the responsibility of caring for any animal very seriously.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for family and friends since I was 12 years old. I live in a home with two large dogs, a pitbull/golden retriever mix and australian cattle dog. I also have 2 baby bunnies of my own! For every Summer the past 5 years, I’ve been cat sitting for my uncle who has 8 cats and more recently a golden doodle puppy. I’ve also done pet sitting for my grandma who had 3 rabbits and a gecko. I love all animals of all sizes and I’m very physically active. I am not easily frustrated or bothered by energetic or cuddly pets and will gladly return the energy! I am currently doing online college classes Tuesday and Thursdays in the morning, so I am available only in the afternoons on those days. I am flexible and available every other day of the week! I have a fenced in yard at my own home, but I always sit in the yard with my dogs when they are outside. My dogs are fed twice a day and taken on hour walks every other day!
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 12. From pet sitting for families with cats and/or dogs, walking dogs for many summers, attending to animals when I babysat, and taking care of my own dog, Kurt, I have done it all! I take pride in taking care of animals, and love to spend time with them. Whether that is playing with them, walking them, or just caring for their basic needs. I currently also work a part time job, which gives me free time to take care of your pets most every weekend, and during the day Mondays between 12-5 and after 6, Thursdays after 4, and Fridays between 12-6 I will follow whatever schedule/routine you typically do for your pet in your home! I can feed them, fill their water, take them out, play with them, or even just keep them company for a bit!!
“Kristen took great care of our two dogs for four days while we were out of town. She was punctual, courteous, communicative, and took excellent care of our home as well. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to having her watch our two pups again in the future.”
“Mine was perfect on his stay. He got back to us quickly when it was time to book. He was a calm and collected guy, exactly who you want with three dogs ranging in age from 11 years to 8 months. He sent us plenty of pictures and had no problem staying at our house. Our puppies were happy and healthy when we got home and we definitely plan on using him again for any future plans.”

Eva came through for us at the last minute when we had to travel unexpectedly for a family emergency. Our dog absolutely loved her from the moment they met and we felt reassured that she was in good hands with Eva throughout the trip. Eva gave her lots of love, reassurance, snuggles, and care while we were gone, even asking about our dogs preferences while we were away to make sure our pup had everything she needs. We would definitely book Eva again in the future and highly recommend!
Ben was a great sitter for our Italian greyhound! He was very communicative with us which was reassuring - with texts, photos, and videos. He was gentle with our 10 year old pup, who was friendly with Ben right away! Ben was also really responsible staying in our home and left everything very clean. We look forward to having Ben staying with Lucy again soon!
Opeyemi did a wonderful job taking care of our multi pet household. He was very intentional about asking questions and clarifying instructions before we left, gave us frequent, detailed updates and left the house near and clean. We will definitely rebook with him!
Julia is hands down the BEST dog walker/sitter out there! She really goes above and beyond. From finding alternative non-pavement activities for our dog on hot days to cleaning our house & leaving behind crocheted dog bandanas while dog sitting, Julia always leaves us feeling impressed. We felt so at ease leaving our dog in her care while on vacation, and received such consistent updates that we didn’t need to check in, not even once. We are so grateful we found her!
