Amanda is outstanding in every way! Her love of animals is so sincere, and she took wonderful care of our two dogs and our home. Excellent communication and attention to detail - we had absolutely no concerns while we were away. We will definitely ask Amanda to help us again - she truly is a gem!

Maggie is highly responsive and responsible. She loves my dogs and they love her. We had a miscommunication because I forgot to tell her she could leave at 10 p.m., and she stayed until 11 just to make sure the dogs were OK. Highly recommend.. Thanks so much for your help!

Alex was great! She saved the day on her first day watching our dogs and house sitting. We had an out of town wedding and I forgot a small bag. She located it and arranged for our friend to pick it up and deliver it the next day. She sent pictures of our 3 dogs every day. We have 2 senior dogs and a silly, quirky 9 year old dog too. She seemed very comfortable with them and they liked her too. We never worried about the dogs or house while we were gone knowing that they were in good care. We would definitely request Alex again in the future if she’s available. 😊🦮

First time house sitting for our Bernedoodle and she was well handled by Joey. He took well care of her as usual, played, walked her and gave her medicine. 👍

Our feline friend, Lot, had a wonderful experience with Jazmine. We came home to a happy cat and clean home. She sent lots of pictures and asked clarifying questions to make sure they got the care they needed. We'd definitely book her again.

About: I offer personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog’s unique needs, personality, and routine. With a focus on reliability and attentiveness, I make your dog’s comfort and daily schedule a priority. I strive to be a calm, loving presence your dog can trust, helping them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays follow a consistent and predictable schedule. I am available for afternoon visits after school, evening care, as well as overnight stays when needed. On weekends, holidays, and school breaks, I have more flexibility and can provide extended care, additional visits, or longer stays. This structure allows me to offer reliable, attentive pet care while maintaining clear communication and consistency for your pet. I care for pets with a focus on comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether in my home or in my client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and I take time to learn their preferences and personality. In a client’s home, I respect their space while providing attentive, one-on-one care and keeping pets in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

We hired Allyson to house sit and watch our 2 labs for 11 days. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous. But Allyson did a wonderful job watching over our house and our fur babies! She sent us daily pictures and updates throughout our time away and definitely put our minds at ease!

About: I’ve taken care of my families Labs and Golden Retrievers for many years. I’ve also pet sit at friends houses and taken care of cats and many different breeds of dogs. I’m looking for this to be my part time work while I take summer classes. I like to work out in the mornings but I am free all afternoon, and can be available in the mornings if needed. I also walk dogs on a leash and treat any dogs like they’re my own. I have 3 golden retrievers at home that are apart of my family and I will treat your pets with the same care.

I entrusted Christina with my beloved Prada while I attended a graduation, and she exceeded every expectation. I was away from home for nine hours. From the moment she arrived—right on time—it was clear that she genuinely cares about the animals in her care. Christina followed all of my instructions for Prada perfectly and kept me connected throughout the evening with sweet pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Prada took right up with her, which speaks volumes about Christina's gentle, confident approach with animals. What impressed me most was the combination of professionalism and genuine heart. Christina isn't just going through the motions—she truly loves what she does, and that makes all the difference. Knowing Prada was in such capable, caring hands allowed me to be fully present at the graduation without worry. I am more than pleased and would absolutely recommend Christina to anyone looking for a pet sitter they can trust completely. The peace of mind she provided was priceless. Thank you, Christina, for taking such wonderful care of our precious Prada! 🐾

About: I’ve had dogs growing up and had to take care of them a lot as well as having experience as a kennel tech over some summers! I’m currently off over the summer while school is out so my availability is very open. I can take care of your pets when ever you need me. I have an apartment that I am more than happy having pets stay in however there is no yard. I am happy to stay with them and house sit.

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been caring for dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up around pets gave me a natural love for animals, and over the years I’ve helped care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, administering medications, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every animal. I treat every pet like family and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that means long walks, playing fetch, or simply keeping them company in their home. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I wait to begin my career as an Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant in late August. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and last-minute scheduling needs whenever possible. I love staying active, so spending time outdoors walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy during this transition period before starting work. Providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets is my top priority. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a calm, dependable, and comfortable experience for both pets and owners. I live in a pet-friendly environment with plenty of safe areas for walks and outdoor time, and I carefully follow each owner’s home instructions regarding routines, medications, feeding schedules, and special needs. I’m attentive, responsible, and communicative, and I’ll always make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐾
