“Andrea was amazing with my two cats and made sure they were well loved for the two weeks I was gone! I loved getting updates with pictures and truly felt they were in great hands. She left my home even more clean and tidy than how I left it. Definitely recommend!”
“Natalie was Amazing!!! We are so happy that we had her as our rover sitter. We had never used Rover before and were nervous because our cat needed six pills daily and is quite needy. But Natalie took such great care of our cat and was always giving her lots of attention, playing with her, and sending us photos/videos. She was incredibly professional and always in communication with us while we were away. We always felt confident that our cat was safe and happy. Thanks so much!”
“Megan actually came earlier than expected (I felt uncomfortable asking her to come so early) and my cat, who normally is not very social, came right out to greet her and stayed for lots of brushing and pats on the head. My little girl is 18 so I get nervous when I can't take care of her but with Megan, I a know my girl is in great hands! I am so grateful!”
“Denise was so kind and gentle with our cat, Pickles, who warmed up to her super quick! Denise is communicative and responsive and super easy to work with. We will definitely work with her again!!”
“Phenomenal experience with Jeanette caring for my two cats while I went out of town. Her messages were detailed, she took great photos, and catered to every request I made regarding the cat’s care.”
About: I love all dogs and especially the wild working breeds and their silly personalities! From Malinois to Plott Hounds, I am experienced in caring for the special needs of high drive dogs. I have my own working line shepherd who has been working through trauma induced reactivity issues, and I am *very* sensitive to behavior modification training. (No other animals will join in any appointments with clients.) I also adore puppies and their velociraptor ways, and do not charge additional base fees to work with them. I can't wait to meet you and you furry best friends! I am a full time remote worker and have a highly flexible schedule. The company operates during normal business hours, and my weekends are generally open. My offerings are for care within a client's home, and to take dogs on walks near their home. Please tell me about what your canine pal loves to do. Play ball? Sniff out squirrels? Take a leisurely stroll? Become one with the couch? :)
About: Animals have always been my happy place. From as far back as I can remember, I’ve had the privilege of caring for both cats and dogs, developing a deep bond and understanding of their unique personalities. Having spent years with furry friends, I've learned that every pet has its own quirks and needs, but all of them share one thing in common: a desire for love, attention, and connection. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion and hands-on experience. I'm not just someone who watches pets — I actively engage with them, whether it’s a playful game of fetch, a peaceful cuddle session, or a long walk to explore the world around us. I believe in creating an environment where pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. I’ve never met an animal that didn’t enjoy quality time with their human, and I take pride in giving them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s providing mental stimulation with toys, helping pets burn off energy with exercise, or simply offering companionship, my goal is always to ensure the well-being and happiness of each pet in my care. Their needs come first, and I make sure to listen to both the animals and their owners to create a routine that works for everyone. I’m more than just a pet sitter — I’m a true pet lover. With years of experience and an intuitive understanding of animal behavior, you can trust me to provide your pet with the best care possible. After all, every pet deserves to feel like they’re part of the family. Currently, my daily schedule revolves around taking care of my mom and my own animals, so having a flexible job is crucial. Luckily, pet sitting is the perfect fit for this chapter in my life, allowing me to combine my love for animals with my responsibilities at home I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly community, where I have access to quiet walks and a safe outdoor space. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or a quick potty break, I ensure your pet gets the fresh air and exercise they need at their own pace. Inside the house, I’ve designed the space to be a cozy retreat for pets. I have a large, comfortable dog carrier for pets who need a quiet space to rest, as well as plenty of soft bedding and safe spots for them to relax and feel secure. I believe in building trust with each animal, which is why I ensure they have access to everything they might need, at any time — from fresh water in every room of my home to ample opportunities for play and attention.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of my experience. I have a lot of experience in training puppies, including potty training and simple commands such as sitting. I have cared for two dogs, a large mixed breed for eleven years and a chihuahua beagle for four. In addition to caring for my dogs, I have also simultaneously dog-sat for friends and neighbors, taking on responsibilities such as walking them and administering medicine. I have experience with energetic and large dogs (my neighbor's labradors in particular), and I can keep them close despite their strength and energy. As I am taking college courses starting August 26th, I will be unavailable on Mondays and Wednesdays until 3:45 p.m. However, my schedule is otherwise flexible, and I am usually completely free after this. Additionally, I am free between 10:00 a.m. and 8/9:00 p.m. the rest of the week. I try to prioritize the dog's necessities and comfort. I feed them on a consistent schedule (twice per day), take them on long or short walks four times a day, and play games such as tug-of-war or fetch, weather allowing. I keep dogs cool by playing games indoors, especially during the hot afternoon's summer months.
“Mallory took excellent care of my cat and gave her lots of love. She kept me updated and sent me pictures the whole time I was away. She also left my apartment cleaner than when she arrived. I would absolutely recommend Mallory to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Natalie was great, she came over prior to us leaving to meet our cats and get to know their routine. She kept in contact throughout our trip and sent pictures. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Deborah was once again wonderful! I know Bean is in good hands whenever she watches her. She also brought over a laser pointer and now we know Bean’s new favorite toy. We’re going to get her one asap! We also enjoyed the photos and write-ups we got each night. I couldn’t recommend Deborah enough!”
About: New to this site yet for friends and employers, I've done housesitting and pet sitting for years. I've been vetted, background checked and currently on another popular sitting site. I've just relocated back to the area of Monterey, California where I grew up. I love to be out hiking and walking so if your pet needs exercise and the peace that comes with it, I'm your gal! I usually take myself out walking twice a day. Unless your animal needs special care and can't be active, I believe pets should be active because it makes them feel better, same as us. I'm flexible in my work and don't have the sort of hours that would keep me away from your pet for too long. Regular feeding, bathroom breaks, playing and petting are my top priorities. I do a lot of photography and photos of animals are one of my faves. Your pet could be the next Lassie! Safety is also a top priority. I can either drop in on your pet or do overnight stays, weekly stays, etc. I keep pets safe, doors and windows locked, and the place exactly as you left it. I've traveled for years using Airbnb and have great reviews here for you to peruse – thank you hosts!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and am perfectly comfortable taking care of other people's pets. I took care of multiple dogs during the holiday seasons for three years in a row and am available to take on some more work! I am responsible, and not afraid to clean up after your pup (I took a dog with worms to the vet on Christmas Eve one year)! More recently, I fostered a husky/Rottweiler puppy for a year - I do miss him! I'm also looking for a running buddy!! If you have a high energy dog who needs to get outside, I'm your gal! I'd even be happy to take them hiking, to the park with a frisbee, wherever their favorite place is! Feel free to ask any questions or message me! I am available most weekends. I'm an early riser and love to take walks at sunrise or after my breakfast. Everything else falls into place depending on the pets' needs! As long as I'm provided a thorough tour and explanation of your pets' routines and needs, I'm very good at following those instructions and have lots of respect for your space.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs and cats over the course of my life. I absolutely love animals and believe they need the utmost love and attention, especially when their owner is away! My neighbors, friends, and family have depended on me to take care of their fur babies since I was in high school. Please don’t be deterred by my rates- send me a message with what you are looking for and we can work something out to accommodate your needs! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats in our home. Henry is a very loving and playful golden retriever, who enjoys one-two walks a day and plays in the fenced in backyard. Molly is our newest addition to the family. She is a lab mix. She is wary of new dogs at first, and will bark at everything. But after a few minutes in the yard, she is playful and fun. Our animals and the animals that come into our home are loved and cared for 100% of the time. They have access to the entire home, couch and beds included! We have multiple dog cameras set up around my home for us to keep an eye on them while away. So don’t ever hesitate to reach out to check in on your pup! I promise to take so many pictures and videos for you! ⭐️ Please note that I live on a military base. I take pet care very seriously and will follow your routine to the best of my ability. Please share what your normal routine looks like with your pup and I will do my best to incorporate it into my daily routine. Henry and Molly enjoy playing in my backyard throughout the day. We enjoy a nice walk around my dog friendly neighborhood in the evenings. I have a fenced in yard and my pup, Henry is EXTREMELY friendly with all dogs. He learns quickly about other dogs’ mannerisms and will keep his distance if need be. In my home, your pup will be treated like one of the family with Henry. I am very proactive with ensuring the fence gates are shut and I have an automatic foot motion (it’s like second nature now 😜) when I open the doors to outside to ensure no escape artists are successful! I promise to love and care for you dog like one of my own. I can’t express to you the amount of love I will have for your pup the moment I meet them!! Please rest assured your furry family members will be in the utmost care with me. ❤️

Gabriel S.
“Gabe is reliable, good natured, enthusiastic, and a super-fan of all creatures in the animal kingdom (four legged and otherwise). His dog walking and pet sitting skills are top drawer, as evidenced by the fact that our crazy old curmudgeon of a dog has become a card carrying member of the Gabe Admiration Society.”

Nicole M.
“Nicole was just wonderful with Annie. She was prompt and very pleasant and friendly.”
Heather P.
“I can't recommend Heather enough! She is an absolute gem of a dog sitter: energetic, athletic, and clearly a dog person. Our pup had a great time going on long walks and getting all the exercise he could ever want. It’s rare to find someone so active and enthusiastic! Not only was she amazing with our dog, but she was also incredibly tidy and respectful of our home. We came back to a clean house and a happy pup — what more could you ask for? She was also very flexible with her schedule, which made coordinating our trip so much easier. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
