“Lenny is wonderful! Upon her 1st visit all the animals including the cats that usually hide from strangers were investigating her. She took great care of everyone - our cats and our dogs. She even did wash animals bowls and the dishes we left in the sink in a rush to leave. Everyone seem to be very happy. She sent a ton of photos and asked questions! Cannot recommend enough!”
“Rosemary is so kind and attentive, she took excellent care of our pup! She was sensitive to our dog’s reactivity and spent lots of time with him while we were away. Our dog was calm and happy on our return home and it was clear that Rosemary took great care of him. We will definitely book with Rosemary again in the future!”
“McKenna was the best house sitter we’ve ever had! She truly went above and beyond in care of our German Shepherd and our home! We highly recommend and hope she is available for us in the future.”
“Carly has quickly become one of our go to sitters for our two rescue pups, Jade and Deacon. She’s dependable, open to feedback, and calm with our pups who have some quirks thanks to their pasts. I recommend her for your pet needs!”
About: I have owned pets with my family since I was a baby, and I have been volunteering with animal rescues since the age of 14! (to care for and clean up after cats/dogs.) I also own 14 fish tanks, and 2 beautiful kitties. All very well loved animals. I am currently working part time job during school. I am a college student but only have classes about 3 days a week. I am able to work best after school/ work hours, or on off days! Contact me and we can work something out:) I am an experienced pet owner, and I am happy to provide all the basics like, cleaning cages/litter boxes, food/water bowls, refreshing water and feeding, taking on walks, and playing with the your pet, and of COURSE providing lots of love and attention😸!
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout our time away, which gave us real peace of mind. We loved receiving daily photos and updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. She also left our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. We’re very grateful for her care and would happily book with her again.”
“It's so incredibly difficult to find someone who takes pet sitting seriously. The moment I did a meet and greet with Rebecca, I knew right away she was "the one". Her love and knowledge for animals is obvious, and her commitment to ensuring we were comfortable while leaving our babies made our stay even better. She followed my crazy instructions and sent me so many photos which always makes me feel so much better. I wish I had found Rebecca sooner - ten thousand percent will be begging her to watch my pets again!!!”
“Shennan was very responsive and attentive! She loved my two doggies and kept them company. Shennan was very respectful of my space and kept things tidy. Watson and Patty loved her!”
“Dana was wonderful housesitting our two cats for a long weekend! She was professional, prompt, communicative, and sent excellent pictures. Huge thank you to Dana for bearing with our extra detailed care instructions and for generally making everything super easy for us! We’ll definitely reach out again for the next trip.”
“I really don’t trust any dog sitter like I trust Ray to take care of our dog. He’s a great boy, but doesn’t want pets and snuggles all the time and Ray is happy to let him just be him. It’s actually so hard to find! Ray left our house clean and well looked after. Will definitely keep going back to Ray!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of my fur babies while I was away! Jeannie is amazing and provided phenomenal communication and pictures making me feel at ease that they were in great hands! Definitely will rebook”
“Jenny was great as always! Made our weekend away stress free and sent us plenty of pictures and notes so we knew our dog was in great hands. We came home to a clean house and happy pets- highly recommend!”
“Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my little dude while I was away! All of her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip, plus, I came home to a happy and tired pup and my place in perfect condition - I truly could not ask for more. Frasier and I can’t wait to have her back!”
“Alexis is your one-stop-shop for pet needs. Our dog Nala needed a sitter relatively last minute and Alexis was there for us. She is attentive, engaged, and shows the utmost care and respect. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that Alexis provides the gold standard of care and you and your furry friend can rest assured your experience will be nothing but amazing”
“Lindsey was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and handled our fur babies well. She kept us informed of issues while we were away and was also responsive with any questions or concerns we had. We'd hire her again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. Thank you Lindsey!”
“Priscilla was so responsive! She sent a ton of updates and pictures of Ellie (my dog) while she stayed with her over the weekend. Ellie is pretty timid, and usually takes a few days to warm up to people, but she seemed to do pretty well with Priscilla after only a day or so. I really appreciated Priscilla's patience while she stayed with Ellie and also all of the updates! I would definitely have Priscilla stay with Ellie again!”

Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends. They were able to juggle our needs with everything going on in their life and we were just blessed to find them. I would highly recommend them for your daily pet care or overnight.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Molly did an amazing job taking care of our sweet Maya and our two cats while we were away. She sent us pictures and updates every day, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how happy and well cared for they were. Molly took Maya on several long walks and gave all of our pets plenty of attention, love, and care. It was clear from the photos and updates that our pets absolutely adored her, and when we returned home they were relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will definitely be booking with her again!
We are so grateful for the amazing care Jackie provided! She stayed in our home and took such thoughtful, attentive care of our senior dog, who struggles with severe anxiety and needs medication three times a day. Knowing he was in such capable and compassionate hands made it so much easier for us to be away. She was incredibly sweet and always quick to respond to any messages. On top of that, she was a respectful and thoughtful guest in our home. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Jessica was so helpful in getting the care my pup needed while we were away! She took her to the vet and ER on the first day of care and stayed with her on our behalf. ( she started showing symptoms of illness the night before her stay.) Jessica also made sure to send lots of pictures of our other pups and keep us informed on how things were going. The girls were happy to have her stay with them! We are so grateful for Jessica’s attentiveness to our girls!
Miranda is the BEST! I used her for in home care to give my pup a little bit more of a stable environment while I was on some travel for work. She gave him the best care and he was clearly very happy during her stay. Although I had a hectic schedule, she kept me super informed, and I would happily have her back again. Huge thanks and highly recommend!
This is the third time I had Carly dog/house-sit for me. As usual she is super with the girls (two female labs). They love her. She takes them on long walks and is free with tummy rubs. Carly is responsible and I feel very secure with her watching the house and the dogs. Would definitely use her again.
Adriana has always taken the best care of our two dogs Luna and Scout. We especially appreciate her thoroughness and attention to detail regarding the care they need. Adriana is generous, always caring, and frequently spoils our dogs with new toys and treats. Our dogs always have a big smile on their face when Adriana cares for them (:
Juan did a great job house sitting and taking care of our three cats while we were away on a long trip! We came home and the house was in great shape, everything we’d asked him to look after was taken care of, and our girls were happy and healthy. They also seemed way more chill than they usually are when we go away, so they must have enjoyed his company!
This was our first time using rover and Lauren was amazing. She is so kind and obviously loves animals. She stayed at our house with our senior dog, Bob. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us pictures while we were gone. He clearly loved his time with her.
Angelica took great care of our pups! She has large dogs of her own so did a great job managing “large dogs” personalities. She sent plenty of updates and pics so we knew how they were doing at all times. She was responsive in communication and right on time. I would highly recommend her.
Jeana is awesome. She takes such good care of our two dogs and two cats. And we have a special-needs dog with seizures and she handles him with such professionalism, giving meds, comforting him, and keeping in touch with us when it happens. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter.
