“Sam was amazing - she was constantly updating up with pictures and messages. Mila is a rescue but really warmed up to Sam, bringing out her confidence. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be using her services again!”

“Incredible. I’m always afraid to have someone new with my doggies and my home but Alex kept me informed and was on top of everything. We came home to very happy pups. I really hope I get to have her again.”

“I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough! She was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding with my cats who can be very difficult and shy around new people. From the very beginning, Marissa took the time to earn her trust, moving at her pace and never forcing interaction — something that truly showed her compassion and experience with animals. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond to make sure my cats were comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Her communication was excellent throughout — I received regular updates along with the sweetest photos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated my cats like her own. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, gentle, and attentive, Marisa is absolutely the person you want. I am so grateful to have found her!”

“Angela was AMAZING with all my Fur babies , 2 dogs and my cat , all adore her!! It was a challenging job as our 7 year old dog, Rex has diabetes and pancreatitis and on a strict schedule for feedings, glucose checks and insulin shots, Our first time leaving him since he was diagnosed and Thanks to her we felt completely comfortable, constant updates and pics allowed us to have a stress free trip”

“This was the first time we’ve had a sitter stay in our home. Haley is wonderful! We already have her booked a couple more times. She was extremely detailed oriented and patient with both our seniors needs, including their medicine. Our dogs really loved her and seemed to get comfortable with her quickly. Our senior pugs are sweet but can be a lot, we felt super relaxed on our trip knowing Haley was taking such good care of them.”
“Jacqueline did an amazing job taking care of our babies. She kept us up to date on how they were doing and sent lots of great picks. We will definitely have her back for other events.”

“Sarah did an amazing job with our 3 dogs. They were in the best hands for the weekend, she sent us pictures and updates on the dogs all weekend. The house was perfect when we returned, we recommend Sarah to watch anyone’s dogs and house.”

“We’ve used Belle twice now for house/dog/cat sitting while we are on vacation and she does a great job! She sends me an update and pictures every day which puts my mind at ease that they are being well taken care of. When we come home the house is clean and everything is in order. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had pets growing up my entire life! The level of personal care I give every animal sets me apart. I don’t just feed and walk your pets — I take time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I tailor my care to match what each pet needs most. I treat every furry friend like my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. I currently work part time as a teachers assistant and home pretty much everyday. I’m off on the weekends. So I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My home is safe, welcoming, and full of love, and each pet gets the individual attention they deserve. We make sure every animal feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. • Family Time & Play: Your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, and fun activities with all of us. • Feeding & Health: I follow your pet’s routine, including meals and medications, to keep them healthy and comfortable. • Exercise & Adventure: Dogs enjoy walks, yard play, and indoor games, while cats and smaller pets get enriching activities tailored just for them. • Comfort & Safety: Your pet will have cozy spaces to rest and feel secure with our family. I have a huge backyard for play and plenty of room inside our home. . Pet Care At Clients Home: When I take care of pets in your home, my goal is to provide love, attention, and consistency while respecting your pet’s routine. I treat your home and pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. • Updates for You: We love sending photos and messages so you can see your pet thriving while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet in my home feels loved, safe, and happy—just like they would with their own family.
“Marcus is the perfect dog sitter. We have an older dog - a soft coated Wheaten terrier - who is 13 years old. We had planned a trip of a lifetime to Africa, but our main concern was our baby. The thought of leaving our 13 year old dog in a kennel was so concerning. Marcus came to the rescue and answered all of our concerns so we could enjoy our trip. Marcus is a reliable, dependable, caring animal lover as are we. To be able to keep our baby in our home so she had all her normal routines made our trip one we could thoroughly enjoy. I would highly recommend Marcus.”

“First time using Rover and boy did me and my little love sweetie get super lucky with Kady. She was communicative, caring, respectful clean... I can't add enough positive words to describe her. I will definitely use her again. Highly recommend her!!!!!!!”

“Maria adapted well to caring for my rescue dog, Ginger, and kept me updated with texts and pictures while she was with her. Maria tried different approaches to encourage Ginger to eat, took her on short walks, and created a comfortable environment while she was in her care.”

“Emma did great with my boys, Louis and Dakota. This was their first time with her. She came after I left for the train and did her day job then came back and stayed overnight with them. She sent a video of them playing in the backyard so I know they were happy. She also let me know too that Dakota cut his leg on something in the backyard (his now 3rd time!) while chasing squirrels. He was fine when I got home as this is par for the course with him being a full on spazz puppy. She wiped him up and cleaned it up but I was grateful she told me about it so I could check it out when I got home too. The house was as I left it when I came home too! Hopefully we can use Emma again to babysit in the future!!”

“Yvonne and Jim took amazing care of our 3 furbabies and on top left our home immaculate. Mowed the lawn and watered our shrubs. We couldn’t be happier and our pups were too. We will use their services again. So nice to find people we can trust”

“Very happy that I found Dawn who was willing to house sit my three cats. The two females do not get along well, they pretty much tolerate each other. Then my male cat has thyroid issues and needs a topical med applied to his inner ear twice a day. Dawn was good about sitting with my cats at night and cuddling with them. I know my cats were pretty happy having the company.”

“I highly recommend Catherine! She was staying in my apartment with my two dogs during a massive blizzard. Despite losing heat for part of her stay, she never complained or failed to provide updates about their well-being. Every step of the way I knew she was doing all she could to care for my girls. I am so grateful to her. It is clear that she loves dogs very much. Your pets are in very safe hands with Catherine!”

“We had the pleasure of having April stay at our house for two nights to take care of our dogs, and she was fantastic! April was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure our furry friends were happy and well-exercised. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind. Our home was left spotless, and our dog seemed genuinely happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend April to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
