“If I could leave more stars, I would. The BEST Rover sitter we've ever had. He truly loved our dogs like his own, was very reliable and our house was spotless when we came home. Will definitely be using him again!!!”
“Kayleigh was awesome with Midnight/Duke! She was very accommodating to their schedule and routine so they can be happy while me and my husband were traveling. We had a cancelled flight on the way back and Kayleigh was able to accommodate quickly as well! Highly recommended and we look forward to the next booking! The dogs love her!”
“Amy was a great sitter for our Dixie girl. She sent pictures and communicated very well. She also watered our plans and left our home perfectly clean. We extended our time away by a day at the last minute and Amy was willing to stay and accommodate our plans. We look forward to having her again!”
“I would recommend Louann to anyone looking for a responsible, kind and caring pet sitter. I knew our pets were in great hands while we were away. Louann did a wonderful job keeping us informed but also letting us enjoy our time away. She tried several things to keep our dog eating while we were away, which was much appreciated. We'll be using Louann again in the future. It's such a relief to find someone we can count on when we need to go out of town. ”
“Excellent care, communication, and it was clear she loved on our three girls well while we were gone! She wasn’t afraid to ask clarifying questions and she made sure everything was taken care of.”
“Great experience, our two dogs seemed to have enjoyed their "vacation" as much as we did. It was great to know everything was taken care off at home. Home was also left clean and tidy.”
“Maria is a wonderful pet sitter! We have a very nervous, diabetic dog and Maria was able to work with her! They were friends by the end. She is also very communicative and takes good care of the house.”

“Natalie was extremely dependable and awesome to work with. She gave us updates on the pups and treated our home with the utmost integrity and respect. We would definitely book her again in the future.”
About: My husband says we can’t have anymore pets, so let me take care of yours ❤️ I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life (though I’ll admit, cats have had my heart a tiny bit longer and more often!) Whether your baby needs playtime, cuddles, walks, a trip to the park, or just keeping company while you are away, I treat every furry friend like they’re my own. I am available Monday-Sunday for overnight visits, or quick drop ins as needed. I am quick to respond back to messages and have a pretty open schedule so am available for last minute care! Please provide me with a list/schedule/routine for your pets and I will follow it! I know how important it is for pet parents to have updates when they are away from their babies, so I will happy send photos/videos during my visits so that you can see that your pet is happy and well cared for.
“April, did an awesome job! Took puppies for a walk, kept us posted throughout the day and took pictures ! I was totally confident in her ability to give our dogs the best care.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, which has given me a deep understanding of how to care for pets with different needs and personalities. My family has always had dogs, and I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare, where I regularly handle a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. At home, I care for three dogs, two cats, and four bunnies. My background helps me adapt quickly to each animal's unique routine and behavior. So, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’m confident in my ability to provide safe, compassionate, and reliable care. Pet care is already a central part of my routine. I currently work at a doggy daycare, which has given me valuable hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I’m also a college student, but my classes are limited to Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings for just a few hours, leaving my days and the rest of the week largely open. When I take on a client, I make their pets my priority. I’m flexible with my schedule and always willing to adjust or take time off from other commitments to ensure your pet receives my full attention and consistent care. I currently care for three Great Pyrenees, four bunnies, and two cats of my own. This range of experience has taught me how to adjust my care style to fit each animal’s unique needs. Whether I’m doing drop-ins, walks, or house sitting, I always aim to keep pets comfortable and routines consistent. I follow instructions carefully, make sure pets feel safe and relaxed in my presence, and treat your home with respect.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cockatiel, bearded dragon and cats. I also have taken care of service dog. We had a family of elderly dogs that required lot of attention and gave us more experience. I am available in the evenings and weekends. This allows me to provide the proper care and dedication to these loyal friends that depend on me. I do have a fenced yard and ceramic floors which in case of accident is easy to clean and provide a clean environment. My neighborhood is pet friendly

Connor is so great whether it is drop-in visits or housesitting. I almost don’t want to give a glowing review because that means he’ll be less available for our fur baby Jake. He truly loves the pets and it shows. He is conscientious and does exactly what is expected. I will rebook him as much as possible.
Yiana was recommended to me by my regular pet-sitter and started off on a great foundation of trust. This was a last-minute request and Yiana was more than accommodating and extremely easy and polite to talk to. Paris was extremely comfortable and felt right at home while she was at Yiana. Yiana also shared regular pics and updates of Paris - extremely critical for me to know Paris was doing ok, considering her first time with Yiana. I really appreciated that Yiana made Paris wear pets' car seat belt when she took her over to her parents'. I only have great things to say about her and safe to say, I have found my go-to sitter for Paris. Highly recommended !!
Stacey is awesome! We needed a sitter last minute to attend a memorial service. She responded quickly & even made it out to meet the dogs before she was booked, which made us more comfortable knowing they’d be in great hands. She gave daily updates & sent pics. Our boys absolutely loved her! Definitely would recommend Stacey!
