“Sonny took such great care of our dogs—Mila, Biscuit, and Bagel—while we were away for 10 days. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Sonny was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated and loved seeing. Our pups looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the whole time. We’d absolutely trust Sonny with them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Erin was so great in taking care of our pups and home! Care instructions were followed exactly as written, she sent plenty of updates and communicated in a timely manner, and took great care of our home. Would recommend her to a friend and hope to have her back in the future!”
“Emory took excellent care of my fur kids while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in good care. Will be rebooking again!”
About: I have cared for pets all my life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs, rats, and fish, I am comfortable in many different situations! I have cared for elderly dogs as well as kittens. I can administer medications and I have experience caring for kittens post fixing. I can handle many different temperments and can adjust my approach based off the fur babies personalities and needs. I am willing to work with you and my schedule is flexible! I work full time but am available for potty breaks during my lunch each day and will always prioritize being home for the pets I watch especially during overnights. I am very consistent about meal times, snack times, potty breaks, and changing litter boxes (or other various cages/tanks). I am always mindful about how much time I am away from the pets, making sure my time is primarily spent with them (if overnight). I am athletic and happy to do extensive walking with dogs! I also make sure to follow pet parents' schedules and ask any questions as they come up. As a pet parent myself, I always want the fur babies to be comfortable and at ease with me as much as possible.
“Ali did an amazing job watching our cats while we were away. She checked in with us every time she visited, sent plenty of pictures and videos, and was always proactive about asking questions when needed. She even helped clean up a few messes the cats made while we were gone. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and we will 1000% be having her watch our cats again whenever we travel out of town.”
“As first time Rover users we were nervous to leave our girls for such a long period. But, Jen did a great job with them and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and photos! Thanks Jen!!”
“Melissa was the BEST! She got our shyest kitty out of hiding with her kindness and patience. She has such a calm demeanor that made our dog and 2 cats fall in love with her! She went above and beyond to send pictures, updates, and make our babies feel loved while we were out of town!! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Angela was wonderful with our dog. She provided updates multiple times a day and did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend her and will be rebooking with her for a future trip.”
“Angela took great care of our baby! We know he is comfortable with her and enjoys her company. She provides us with updates and leaves our house clean. We can count on her. She is our go-to sitter!!”
“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and home during a May 2026 trip to the beach. Her communications were outstanding and upon return, I could tell that my puppy had been well cared for. I would give Brooke the highest possible rating , 5 STARS for sure. Mitch G.”
“Marcella was so kind and communicative while house sitting for us and she truly cared about how our pup was feeling while we were away! She asked good questions, paid attention to detail and even brought in an unexpected package for us. Our pup was well cared for and he had a great time with her!”
“She was an absolute delight. Took excellent care of my home and my fur baby. Looking forward to having Zubin sit Duke again. And he loved every minute of the attention and walks. Great communication and updates. BIG THANKS and APPRECIATION!”
“Madison was a wonderful pet and house sitter. When I came home, both of my pets exhibited signs of low anxiety. My home was cared for and tidy. Madison was a great communicator leading up to and during the stay. I would hire her again anytime.”
“Makeda took great care of our 4 aging pups during our weekend away. It was such a weight off to know they were in such good hands - she kept us up to date with all their fun antics and concerns which was much appreciated. Thanks, Makeda!”

Carolyn was stellar from the start--very professional with regard to caring for my senior dog, sending updates and timely communication, and working with me on scheduling. In fact, when I had ridiculous flight delays from a work trip, she was flexible and gracious and supportive. All great things! Cannot recommend her enough.
I had a family emergency and needed to fly to west coast immediately. Matthew responded to my request quickly and was able to start sitting within a few hours. Matthew and his wife Hannah took excellent care of my little Theo who has health issues even picking up and administering his medication. Matthew sent me multiple videos every day. Apartment was perfect when I got home and Theo was happy. I highly recommend Matthew and Hannah and so grateful to them for helping me.
Gosh what can I say about how great Abbe is with Molly? She’s helped us twice and I think Molly was actually upset that we came home! She treats Molly like she is her own and sends us the best pictures so we don’t feel as homesick. Molly loves all of her friends, especially Abbe!
Heather was very reliable in house and dog sitting for our two dogs for more than a week. It’s easy to tell that she’s an animal lover! She was even able to extend for a day when our travel plans were disrupted. We will definitely ask her again in the future and highly recommend her!
I am so impressed!! Verity’s reviews are glowing and I can certainly see why! Her communication and professionalism aside, she is excellent with the dogs and so patient! I also loved receiving all the photos of my dogs enjoying themselves. She is phenomenal. Don’t hesitate if you are considering using her for the first time!
David was a fantastic dog sitter! Communication was great throughout our time away, and it was clear our dogs were happy and well cared for. We also really appreciated that when unexpected packages arrived, he brought them inside without us even asking. We came home to a house in great shape and very happy pups. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend!
