“As usual Trinity did a great job taking care of our furry kids. I got a lot of pictures and updates! And we always appreciate knowing what they are up to when we are not home. Thanks so much!!”


“Debby and Jeff were great with Nala. They spent the day with her and were able to her reactions to other dogs very well! Will definitely look to rebook with them in the future!”


“Danni is so sweet and took great care of my babies! I will definitely be booking with her in the future:) I forgot to reschedule my food delivery box and she was kind enough to bring it in and unpack it for me. My dogs and cat loved her and it was an overall great experience!”


About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

“If Rick is available to care for your dog, book him! He is an actual dog trainer and my very fussy dog loved her time with him. Rick is very gracious and sent me doggie pics every single day. Knowing that she was in such good hands, greatly enhanced my time away. He's terrific!”


“my husband and i hired claire to watch our dogs while we were out of town on a birthday trip, and having her there made it so much easier to relax! she provided consistent updates along with pictures of them. she made sure to even pick up dog toys, and cleaned up well after herself before she left.”


“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”


“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”


“Bridget did a wonderful job with both our cat and dog. She went above and beyond with regards to sending photos, keeping us up to date on everything, and making sure our pets were happy. It was visible in the photos how comfy and content our pets were with her. She even did arts and crafts with them and took Letti to get ice cream. On top of all this, Bridget was watching our pets at a point where the cat and dog were getting used to living with one another, and she did a wonderful job giving them supervised interactions and continuing our socialization for both of them while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Pork Chop absolutely loved getting to snuggle with gabby!! She sent us the cutest pictures and videos, and was so so sweet and responsive. We feel so much better knowing we can have a great sitter like Gabby watch our pup while we are out of town.”


“Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”


“Alison is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was my first sitter using Rover and the first dog sitter I’ve hired that I didn’t know. She took excellent care of my senior dog Jax (13 year old malamute mix with arthritis who is on multiple medications) and excellent care of my home! I was nervous about leaving him, but my nerves were instantly calmed when I met her for an introduction meeting before my trip. She sent multiple photos each day and her updates on how he was doing made me feel like she genuinely cared about him. I usually get some attitude from Jax for leaving him, but he was in such good spirits when I came home that I really think he enjoyed his time with her. The house was the least of my concerns, but she took excellent care of that as well! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she’s available! I would give her 100 stars if possible.”


“Christina is wonderful! She kept us updated the whole time with so many photos and videos of our babies. We were so relieved to have found someone we could trust with our 18 pets so that we could go on vacation. Thank you Christina! I would highly recommend her, she really has a heart and knowledge for pets!”


“I am so glad we found Brooke! She was such a great friend to our pups and took such great care of them. She kept us updated every day and left our home the way we left it for her. We are so thankful for her!”


“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A+ Puppy Sitter! Kylee is truly amazing! She’s been taking care of my puppy, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment they met, my pup took to her instantly — which says a lot, because dogs know good people. Kylee is kind, patient, and super attentive. She keeps me updated with adorable photos and little check-ins, which always puts my mind at ease. Not only does she make sure my puppy is safe and happy, but she also plays with him, reinforces good habits, and gives him all the love and attention he needs (including his favorite after-dinner treat!). It’s clear she genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. If you’re lucky enough to have Kylee watching your fur baby, rest assured — they’re in the best hands. Highly, highly recommended!”


“Heather agreed to watch my pup for a weekend on such short notice. She sent a lot of updates and pictures so I knew my dog was being cared for while I was away. Thank you Heather!”

About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. I am currently working on finding another job, but my current one has me working 12-6 at least 3 days a week until July 30th. I plan on finding a job I can do remotely, making it easier for me to be with your pet as long as possible. Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!
