“Sarah was AMAZING! Incredibly accommodating. Fantastic, even though last minute. And took care of all FOUR of our fur-babies when we were out of town! Will definitely be using her in the future. Our favorite Rover sitter yet!”
“Jade house-sat with our dog for a full week. The weather was super cold but he still managed to walk our dog each day and he took great care of our house too! We are thrilled to have found such a reliable person to be with our dog when we are away. Yay!”
“Nancy took such great care of our two pups and our house. We were in regular contact with her while we were gone and she sent us several "pupdates" to let us know Sophie and Loki were happy. We'll definitely be rebooking her for future vacations and will recommend her highly to our friends who are looking for a dog sitter.”
“Simply put….Exceptional! I cannot give Kathryn enough praise. Our pets are our family and she took that to heart. She kept us updated the minute she walked in the door with pictures and texts. She rarely left their side and any concerns she had she contacted us ASAP! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and my pets loved her as much as we did!”
“Whitnee was professional, experienced, and patient with Zane while he warmed up to her. She sent frequent updates and pictures to keep us informed and made sure that he was well taken care of! We returned to a happy, healthy dog.”
“Super responsible and kind! Briona was wonderful with Katsu, and he absolutely loved her! Very trustworthy, and I was happy to have her stay overnight with Katsu in my home.”
“David, we felt an immediate calm when we met you and saw you with Harry. Our snowboarding trip was a blast and we did not worry about our boy. We hope you will be willing for more stays…we want to snowboard more!”
About: Hello! I've been an avid dog lover since I can remember. I have taken care of family and friends pups when they are away. My passion and the companions of a dog has made me want to own a dog of my own. I have my own pup of two years now and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will take great care of them, be safe and of course loved. I work remote Mon-Fri so trust me when I say I have plenty of time to play and walk your pup. They will be in great hands and company! During the weekends, I love taking my pup to an open yet dog secluded park to run, play, and train. I do have long leashes for safety, but if you are not comfortable with it- no worries at all, just please let me know. I'm also available most weekends for boarding per request. I have a pup of my own for your pups company as well! In my home I have a crate and can help with training if requested. The pups are free to roam around the apartment/furniture, and I take out to walk every two hours or so. Your pups will be in good hands, but I do request if your pup has a scheduled routine or specific needs/behaviors to please let me know so I can adjust to their needs and behaviors.
“Carly took great care of my lab mix. She was mindful of the specifics in regards to her care, and sent me updates and photos throughout her stay. My dog warmed up to her quickly and looks forward to seeing her again soon :)”
“Christine is awesome!! She’s very professional and treats my fur baby like he's part of her family. She’s very reliable and has excellent communication. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have experience with taking care of my pets for years. I also have been trusted to cat sit and dog sit for my friends. I love animals and being able to help out! I work at a summer camp so I have great availability especially in evenings if a family won’t be home late to take a dog on a walk or feed them. I also have weekends available if families go on vacation and need a pet sitter! My cats are very comfortable at home and they are spoiled! I will make sure that your pet is appreciated and given lots of attention. I will make sure that their needs are cared for and that they can gain my trust as a pet sitter.
“Courtney is a blessing! She took care of my Spencer while I was away in Boston for the day. She took him out for walks, fed him, spent time with him, and he enjoyed her presence with no anxiety. I highly recommend her and will be contacting her again in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! She was incredibly attentive and took fantastic care of Winnie while I was away for the weekend. Out of all the photos she sent me, Winnie had the biggest smile on her face in every one — and as a dog mom, that says everything. I could tell Winnie was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying herself. On top of that, when my flight was delayed five times, she went above and beyond by going back to feed Winnie dinner and let her out, which I appreciated more than I can say. Knowing Winnie was being cared for so thoughtfully took so much stress off my shoulders. I’m beyond happy with the care she provided, would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and I will definitely be using her again!”

“Chris took very good care of our dog, Millie! He was very communicative at the end of every day letting us know how our dogs day was, along with pictures. I also appreciated while staying at our house it looked the same way when we left it. (No mess). We will definitely use Chris again for future dog/house sitting!”
“Natalie was amazing! She stayed at my house for a few days with Teddy and did an excellent job. I really appreciate all the photos and text updates throughout the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!!”

Tamia did an amazing job with our Boxer girl and Boxer/Black Lab/Short-Haired Pointer Boy. Our two babies are very rambunctious and we live on a private property that requires a lot to manage the dogs and the space. She did an amazing job, allowing us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our babies. She sent us videos and photos of our babies, loving on her, and I felt at peace that they were being well cared for. They really love her too, and I could see them getting excited bringing her toys and things and I felt safe, keeping her in our home. Thank you so much Tamia! We’ll be using you again.
Sarah did such a wonderful job taking care of my cat Fiona over Christmas! She is the most flexible and communicative sitter we’ve ever had. Holiday travel can be such a nightmare; I ended up having to change my flight time at the very last minute, and Sarah was quick to respond and get here a little earlier than we initially agreed. The peace of mind that comes from that reliability is worth gold! She also pays super close attention to any instructions you provide. I only showed her where the cleaning spray was briefly before I left, and when Fiona had tummy problems, she was able to take care of her mess perfectly and report back to me only after it was already cleaned up. She was also great with updates and photos all day long, which I always appreciate! Lastly, she cleans up before she goes and leaves your home cleaner than she found it. We could not have asked for better care during this busy season. Can’t wait to have her back!
Honestly couldn’t have had a better experience! Chris is definitely my go to sitter forever! Sent great pics. Was super communicative and my a-hole dog loves him. Never had a sitter that did this well with our dogs! Prompt punctual and a lovely person! Thank you Chris!
Kelsey house sat and cared for our dog and two cats while we were on vacation. We could not be happier with her. All the pets, even the grumpy old cat loved her. Especially our dog. She took him out for walks with another dog of the same breed which he loved and took him to the dog park to play. The house was clean when we got back and she even put the sheets in the washing machine and ran it. We got regular photos and updates from her on the pets which is wonderful. An excellent person who we will use again.
