“Karlene always comes, gets my boy out and sends me a picture of the visit. She communicates any changes. I feel so comfortable going to work knowing Karlene will come in to check on my dog and make his day great.”

“She is a very caring and attentive girl when it comes to taking care of my pet. She took exceptional care of my dog despite his disability. She is a responsible and kind person.”

“My initial dog sitter fell though and I frantically searched for someone last minute. Alyssa was quick to respond, extremely communicative, punctual and sent pictures of my pups. This was my first time using this app and I am beyond greatful for how much love & care she showed my pups while I was out of town. 1000000% recommend her to care for your fur babies. ❤️❤️”

“Amelia was timely and very kind to our German Shepherd and cat. I was VERY surprised that our cat immediately warmed up to her! He usually doesn't care for new humans in his home. She also took lots of photos and communicated well. Would gladly book again!”

About: My Monday-Friday work-from-home routine perfectly aligns with pet care. I provide consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and personalized care, ensuring happy, stress-free pets all day. My work-from-home schedule allows flexibility for feeding, walks, and play. Being active myself ensures pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and love throughout the day. I care for pets in my home as if they were my own, providing love, safety, and a cozy environment. In clients’ homes, I maintain routines, ensure comfort, and deliver personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, just like their family.
“My dogs were not the easiest to work with, but she was very persistent and worked very well with my boys and was able to make them comfortable with her! She was very patient and went above and beyond her duties!”

“Brenda came over before her booking day, and met Moseby and Cleo. She is a lovely lady who asked all the right questions. She came on the appointed day, and sent me a picture of just Cleo because Moseby was in hiding mode. Brenda is great. We will be using her for all our future pet sitting needs.”

“Ann was very easy to work with and I found it very easy to trust her with my animals. She took great care of them. She was communicative and punctual and sent me pics show my boys having a good time. Would definitely recommend.”

“Not all petsitters understand cats, but Michael clearly does and enjoys getting to know their individual personalities. He did an outstanding job of maintaining our two cats' normal meal schedule while we were away and giving them the attention they love to get.”

“Isabella was a life saver for us for our trip! We had never used Rover before and were a bit nervous to entrust our pets to someone, but she made us feel very comfortable with them and sent detailed updates each day along with pictures. I would 100% recommend her to watch your animals! Thank you Isabella! :)”

About: I’ve trained dogs for a year, I currently own 2 cats I’ve had for 3 years. I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 12 and had the responsibilities of taking them out feeding and playing with them. Friends and family constantly rely on me to take care of their dogs and cats. I am currently in college and working a part time job, but I have time to visit in the mornings, mid day, and at night. I love playing with dogs and cats alike, I have two young cats who are super friendly. I always make sure dogs and cats are well taken care of
About: I grew up with both dogs & cats and have been pet sitting for about 4 years. I can handle oral medications as well as eye/ear drops. I also have experience sitting for non standard pets including large fish & hamsters. I’m a full-time graduate student with very open availability. My classes are typically from 8:30am to 3:30pm. Outside of those hours, I can work around your schedule! I have additional availability on weeks & Tuesday afternoons. I’m happy to be more than a pet-sitter. If you are traveling & also need me to take in packages/mail, water plants, etc., I am happy to do that! I’ll also ensure that if your pet makes any kind of mess while you’re gone that it’ll be cleaned up.
“Abigail did a great job on the drop-in visits for my babies. Communication was great and it was so nice to know my pups were taken care of so well while I was away. Will definitely schedule Abigail again.”

“Jasmine was truly incredible!!! She took such wonderful care of our dogs and went above and beyond to make it a great experience for us! She had great communication and really cared for the dogs. We will for sure use her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been raised with many dogs growing up along with taking care of family friends dogs. I’ve also raised a Crested Gecko along with two mice I love all animals ! I attend College so I would be free through the weeks starting Friday through Sunday for any Dog service needs! Ideally my schedule is packed up through the week. I give the dog or dogs plenty of attention! I enjoy being outside for walks along with playing or petting your cute dog for however long they want !
“Callie made us feel totally at ease while we went out of town. She was very attentive to Molly routine and went above and beyond to make sure that she got her exercise and all her treats. We look forward (as I know Molly does) to trusting Callie with our baby in the future.”

About: I wanted to be a veterinarian for about 15 years. Volunteered with vets, worked at animal shelters, and now I frequently walk/pet sit animals in my neighborhood! I’m a medical student, so my schedule can vary week to week but I will never take on a sitting during a time where my schedule prevents giving an animal the best care possible. I have a fenced in yard, but love taking pups for walks when they need it! I’ll make sure your animals get the care they deserve whether it’s at my house or yours!
About: We are willing to do whatever needs to be done to make your best friend comfortable. Someone is home at all times. We have had dogs for the last 15 years from puppies to seniors, including special needs. Four of our dogs have been dachshunds,one was a bloodhound, and one was a pitbull mix. Three dachshunds and the bloodhound now reside in the home. The bloodhound is a 6 year old female, the dachshunds are 7,2 and a 1 year old males. We have a very harmonious pack atmosphere. We believe that exercise keeps a pet happy! We are well acquainted with crate training, clicker training, and positive reinforcement. Our family members have dogs of various ages and breeds which spend the time with our pack so they are used to visitors! We look forward to meeting you and your doggy! I work full time, my wife does not work so she is home all day with the dogs. The only time we would leave the dogs is to go to the grocery store. We have a fenced yard and lots of toys for them to chew, we encourage tearing up toys and playing. We also allow the dogs to be on the furniture and beds.
