“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!”
“Kathryn was so communicative and thoughtful with our pets! Our big dog was being super stubborn due to being on new painkillers while we wait for our surgery date, and Kathryn was so patient and caring with our doggie. It’s always a good sign when our kitty warms up to her quickly too! Moana cat was in her lap immediately! 5/5 absolutely will recommend and already plan to use again!”
“We are so grateful for Briana! We were in a last minute bind and she was able to help. We have a bit of an anxious dog but he is very calm and relaxed with her and she’s been great! We highly recommend”
“Whitnee took great care of our 2 dogs. She sent us updates and pics. She was so reliable and responsive. She stayed in our home for 6 days and left our home neat and clean. Definitely recommend her.”
“Dave took excellent care of my dog. He asked great questions to get to know her, facilitated all her favorite activities, and provided a detailed report of their time together. I highly recommend booking services with Dave, he is my first choice for pet care!”
“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!”

“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 :)”
About: I currently have 5 cats and 1 dog. I have had pets my whole life, mostly rescues. I love pets and I am very nurturing. I also have 3 children and 2 grandchildren none of which require much of my time. I have lots of love to give and plenty of time to give. One of my cats and my dog require medicattwice daily so if your pet needs medication or special care I can accommodate. I have worked in the medical field and special education so taking care of others is what I love. I also worked as an assistant director of a child care/preschool facility. I am available to pet sit over night in your house if you need me to. I am very flexible. I can make my own hours and work around your schedule. I'm available day or night, I'm home most of the time so I can accommodate your needs. I am unable to bring pets into my home as I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor. I have a balcony that my pets hang out on but my pets are very territorial and are having a hard time accepting our new stray cat so I feel bringing any more pets in would cause alot of stress to my pets. They are happy to share me with other's as long as I do so outside of our home. I am able to go to your house with in a reasonable drive for as long as you need me or overnight stays.
“Working with Sabrina was a breeze and she made our time away from home so much easier!! She’s very prompt with communication and is incredibly kind- sending updates and pics regularly! She was very patient and sweet with our timid pup which is exactly what he needs. We also had a flight cancellation and Sabrina offered to help us in a crunch which was above and beyond what was expected. Beyond all of this- our house was completely spotless! Which is such a nice way to come home after traveling woes! Highly recommend!! We hope to work with her again! 😊”
“Michelle stayed at our house for two nights to watch our dogs and was absolutely fantastic. She kept us up-to-date with pictures and videos and followed our instructions perfectly. Would recommend Michelle to anyone!”
About: I've owned and cared for my dog, Honey, for over six years. Being her owner has taught me patience, consistency, genuine affection, and how important routine is for dog's comfort and well being. I love long walks, outdoor time, and being present with dogs when they need comfort or attention. Because of Honey, she taught me that dogs aren't just pets, they're family. Also because of having my dog, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. I treat dog as if they were my own. I’m currently in my final semester of college and only taking one class, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care. I offer dog walking, house sitting, and scheduled pet visits. My availability is: • Tuesdays & Thursdays: Available all day • Mondays: After 4:30 PM • Wednesdays: 4:00–7:00 PM • Fridays: After 2:00 PM • Weekends: 1:00–7:00 PM At this time, I do not offer boarding. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and environment to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any specific household rules. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away. During walks, I remain attentive at all times, use secure leashing practices, and avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas. Clear communication and regular updates are always part of my service.
About: I spent most of my adolescence caring for a sweet and stubborn chihuahua! I walked him, fed him, played with him, snuggled him, took him to vet visits, and more. I now have three wonderful cats who I care for daily. 1 ragdoll and 2 black cats. I am versed in pilling cats, grooming, proper introductions, gaining trust, etc. I am a stay at home wife who will be starting Pilates Teacher Training in the fall of 2026. I have ample time available to tend to your pet care needs! I am willing to come to clients’ homes to walk their dogs, feed their pets, stay overnight, pill their pets, and of course love and care for them with play and snuggles!
“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.”
“Christine was so accommodating, we had to book last minute and we could not be more pleased. Murphy was well cared for. We are so thankful we found her and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hailey took care of my adult large dog and my place for 2 weeks while I was away. She asked great thoughtful questions at our meet and greet and during the sit. I appreciated the cute photos she sent too.”
About: I’ve owned and have taken care of different breeds of dogs. My family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their animals. I have a full time job but I am available after work, overnight and on weekends to walk, feed, play and care for your animals. I take the dogs out for walks and potty breaks before work, crate them if needed, and walks and potty breaks after work and before bed.
About: Clear communication, consistent updates, and personalized care. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medication schedules and specific routines. Can’t wait to meet your dog! -Diana I’m currently working from home part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pup! I’m available for boarding and walks weekdays and most weekends. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where your dog can feel comfortable and safe. I closely supervise all activities and ensure doors, gates, and surroundings are always secure.

Whitnee was wonderful, caring for our dog and our home! She is an excellent as far as communicating, responding to texts with updates and pictures. Our dog was so well cared for and happy with Whitnee. We highly recommend her and will definitely request for Whitnee to care for our girl 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.
