“Allea took care of my two cats for a week, staying in my house, and she did a wonderful job. They're both shy but she won them over quickly and, on my return, they seem calm and happy, very different than in the past when I've gone and returned. She communicated with pics daily and left the house perfect. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting. needs.”


“Natalia is a kind, gentle and trustworthy dog sitter. SHE ARRIVED EARLY (Which really helped me get to my appointment on time). Milo had a wonderful time with Natalia..she fed him dinner...gave treats and played ball outdoors. I recommend Natalia to other pet owners in need of care. Looking forward to seeing her again soon, she is a life saver! Jenny”


“Anna was a wonderful cat sitter for our cat, Yuki, while we were away for a week. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat who had clearly been well cared for and enjoyed Anna’s company—she cuddled with her, which is always good to see! Anna was attentive, responsible, and left our home in excellent condition. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy sitter.”


“James was great fit to house and pet sit for us while we were away at the coast for a few days. He was willing to come by ahead of time to meet us and our dog and two cats which was very helpful. He was very warm and personable as well as responsible and respectful of our property and routines. He kept us informed of any updates as to our pets/property while we were gone, collected our mail, and was willing to water outside potted plants as the temps were quite hot. All in all, James was terrific and we and our pets were very comfortable with his care. We will definitely request him again next time we take a trip!”


“Tiffany continues to be a joy to work with. Our kiddos adore her and she is so good with them. She is so observant that I feel like she catches things that I would normally catch as a pretty hyper-vigilent pet mom. She gives regular updates and photos and is friendly and awesome.”


“Chantelle exceeded every expectation we had for an in-home pet sitter. She cared for our large dog for over two weeks and did a phenomenal job. She met every commitment and exceeded our expectations, communicated with us regularly, sent pictures, and was very flexible. We both agree she gets our highest possible recommendation! You’ll be lucky to book her.”


“Kailee was a great find on Rover! She kept us well-updated throughout her stay at our home with our two dogs. She sent pictures multiple times a day, and let us know what they were up to, including multiple walks working around the summer heat. Our house was well-kept, and she even washed the used linens and towels without our request. We will definitely be reaching out to Kailee again!”

“Kristina and winter are awesome. Kristina understood the assignment of working dogs and killed it. Good communication, problem solver, and the dogs were still alive when I returned. Winter provided a job for Siouxxsie and Saxxon which kept them busy looking out for him. Definitely a keeper house sitting duo”


“Alicia was great with our silly crazy pup. She recognized that he is definitley our fur baby and took care of him just the same. She was GREAT with wanting to understand his day to day and giving great updates while we were out of town. We could tell when we came home, based on his behavior, and no torn up toys that she was very attentive to him while she was here. Thank you again Alicia!”


“Michelle did great staying a weekend with our high anxiety pup. He seemed happy with less anxiety than normal after leaving him for a weekend. She sent pictures and updates and left the house as if she had never even been there. We really appreciate her time with Gibson and would contact her again for pet sitting.”


About: Hi, I'm Jenna and caring for animals is my passion! I have been tending to animals since I was a child; we always had multiple pets and were surrounded by wildlife growing up in New Hampshire, which sparked my love for animals. I began pet sitting at a young age, and I now do that as well as nanny on the side. I have also worked as a dog bather in the past at a grooming shop, so I have experience with loads of breeds of dogs. Currently at my home, we have 4 outdoor cats, 1 Border Collie/Shephard mix, 1 Yellow Lab, and 1 Heeler mix. They love roaming our property and are always playing with each other - even the cats and Heeler puppy sometimes! We also just had a baby 1 year ago, and he is learning the ways of animal life around here. I can drive to your house and play with your furbaby(ies) twice per day, including long walks! I am available in the mornings and evenings just about everyday, and very flexible. I'd also be happy to care for any other type of pet you may have! I have experience with rabbits, cats, and exotic animals! I look forward to working with you! I am a stay at home mom and I also work Saturday mornings - my schedule is usually very open just based around my son’s nap I am very thorough and responsible with respecting the owner’s wishes when caring for their pets. I love taking dogs outside to play, for walks, playing with toys inside, talking to and showing them love, and making sure they have everything they need!

“Tamara took extra time leading up to our trip to learn about the walking and eating routines for our dogs before we left for our holiday trip. We really appreciated her wanting to understand these details so that she could continue to provide the same environment for the dogs while we were away.”

“Charlotte was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. I would hire her again in a heart beat. She was so sweet and the perfect match for our two huskies. One of our huskies is blind and pretty timid, and she even won her over, which can be a pretty difficult feat. I can’t thank her enough. Our dogs are probably going to be disappointed that we are home since she took such great care of them. We would highly recommend Charlotte.”


“Our experience with Josie was perfect. She was very attentive to Hazel, especially, in dealing with her arthritis issues and problems with maintaining her balance on the slick hardwood floors and kept us informed of related issues. We were very appreciative of her response to a somewhat last minute decision to take off for Texas. We are gladly giving her stay with our house and pets 5 stars and we look forward to any possible future stays.”

Tera H.
“I truly can't speak highly enough of Tara and how she cared for our pup, Tarachi. Over the summer, my wife and I took a two week trip to the Florida keys. We agonized over who to entrust with the care of our dog, as like most pet owners these days, she is an important part of our family. Our daughter brought Tara to our attention. We contacted her and asked if we could pay a visit to her home to determine if we would feel comfortable with her keeping our dog for that length of time, and found the place to be a doggy paradise! Tara herself was so personable, kind, and friendly, and we were left feeling completely at ease. She went over exactly how Tarachi would be cared for, and details of the property. We left with full confidence that she would receive great care. During our time in the keys, Tara was kind enough to periodically send us videos of our girl just having the time of her life, and it just completely alleviated any concern whatsoever over the quality of care she was receiving. Upon our return, we found Tarachi as happy and healthy as can be. I almost felt bad for her when we took her home, she was so content. My wife and I have agonized over the past few years over finding people to watch Tarachi, because first and foremost, we didn't want to leave her in a facility in which she would be confined to a small area and/or be treated as a simple business transaction. We can now rest assured that we have absolutely nothing to worry about when we plan future trips. We couldn't be more pleased with Tara. it is such a relief knowing we have a happy, temporary home for our girl in which she will be treated as a member of the family. Absolutely head and shoulders above any other facility we have found, and we have researched a load of them.”
