“If we could give Yanira 10 shining stars, we would! Yanira took exceptional care of our sheltie Pepper in our home. Yanira arrived on time, which we appreciated since we had a plane to catch. Yanira sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned from our trip, Pepper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Our house, BTW, was immaculate. Yanira has our highest recommendations, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Yanira!!!!!”
“Donna is amazing with our dogs and our house! She is truly a special sitter and you’d be lucky to have her! She took very good care of our two pups while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She diligently cared for them and also watched over our house! On top of that, she’s a wonderful person and we highly recommend her!”
“Rev was the most responsive, caring and thoughtful caring person! She sent us many, many pictures with updates throughout the days we were away and went out of her way to coordinate with our families as I had undergone an emergency surgery and couldn’t make it back in time. Simply put, Rev is the bestest!!”
“Chloe did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two dogs (Nala, a one year old golden retriever and Maui, an almost six year old, lab mix) while we were away. From the start, she was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with handling pets. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. One thing that really stood out was how quickly our dog Maui—who is usually very picky about people—gravitated toward her right away. That alone spoke volumes about Chloe’s calm, trustworthy presence and natural connection with animals. It’s obvious that Chloe genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and she treated ours like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter. We are already thinking about leaving again so the dogs can hang out with Chloe.”
“Devon is the best!!!! She is reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy....... and went "above and beyond" to take care of our sheltie puppy Pepper this weekend. Devon is amazing with dogs and Pepper loved Devon instantly. When we returned home from our weekend away, it was obvious that Pepper was very well cared for. Thank you, Devon, for the outstanding care you gave Pepper. We look forward to using you again.”
“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”
“ROSE D Is wonderful, fabulous and dependable. She took great care of our little Pookie with no problems at all. I look forward to seeing her again whenever we travel without Pookie. I did not even have to worry at all as I did with previous sitters. We love Rose”
“Laura took great care of our two puppies in our home. One of our dogs is older, requires shots and requires bandage changes, as well. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we returned! We highly recommend Laura!”
“Caroline was a great pet sitter! The dogs were happy and the house was spotless when we got home from our trip. Appreciate all her hard work, even taking the dogs outside during a snowstorm! Planning to hire again immediately. Highly recommended.”
“Sara was amazing! We were unsure if our puppy had accidentally ingested something the night prior. Sara was on top of it, giving us updates and communicating the whole time! I highly recommend her!”
“Natalie was a wonderful sitter while we were away. My dog is very attached to me and she was able to keep him distracted. She sent pictures. Definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Jenie is a rock star! She took phenomenal care of our sheltie Pepper. Super communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. She cared for Pepper for eight days and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Jenie has our highest recommendations.”
“I'm resisting the urge to leave Michael a bad review so I could keep him all to myself ... but I won't do that because he is really fantastic with our dog and we feel very comfortable with him staying at our place”
“Emily was an incredible dog/house sitter, taking care of my elder pup Rosie like she was her own. She gave her daily meds, provided photo updates, contacted me when she had questions, and even helped out one of my neighbors! So grateful!”
“Sarah provided phenomenal house sitting care for our anxious dog. She was very reliable and responsive and calmed our nerves with multiple photos and updates throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I've been around animals my whole life, and caring for pets is truly second nature to me. I've owned and loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and that lifelong experience shows in how I care for every animal I meet. What really sets me apart is my background in pet care and dog training. I graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I took many animal science courses. I took classes in canine behavior, pet shop management, and animal science. I learned how to handle, groom, and care for dogs of all breeds, through hands-on experiences. I bring patience, knowledge, and lots of love to every pet I care for. I am college student spending the rest of my summer from July 8 until August 22 at home. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m already helping my family take care of our own dog, so adding more pets to my routine fits in perfectly! I am available Monday through Friday and am very flexible throughout the day, so I can easily accommodate different schedules and needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I stay in tune with how they are feeling, making sure they’re well-fed, clean, healthy, and getting plenty of rest and outdoor time. At home, I provide a pet-friendly environment. I’m also lucky to live next to a reservation with trails, open fields, and ponds and streams perfect for dogs who love to explore nature. I enjoy taking pets on these little adventures to keep them active and mentally stimulated. When it comes to pet care, I always treat each animal as if they were my own.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality to make sure they are comfortable and happy. I am reliable, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine as a student because I keep a consistent schedule and have dedicated time before and after classes for walks, visits, and feeding. I’m also usually more flexible on weekends, which allows me to spend extra time with pets. Since I enjoy being around animals and staying active, taking care of pets is something that easily fits into my day. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I also make sure they have a clean, safe, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they need extra exercise, quiet time, or lots of affection, and I always keep owners updated so they know their pet is in good hands.
“Paige is absolutely wonderful and I am so happy to have met her! I think she is incredible and has a gift with animals and my pets did so well in her care! Romeo and Yoshi were comfortable with her right away and that really put me at ease. Paige provided multiple updates a day with lots of photos, it honestly feels like you're right there with them! My cat Yoshi can be a little sassy but I was so glad to see him get close and cozy with Paige and Romeo really took a liking to Paige and I'm sure he loved going on his walks! I would definitely recommend booking with Paige!!”

Caroline H. was great! I really appreciated that she reached out a few days in advance so I felt confident there would be no hiccups on the start date. I also appreciated that she stripped the bed and started the washing machine with her sheets and towels before we came home. She was understanding when, after the wedding, I was delayed and my brother and his wife arrived back at the house before me. But most importantly, I could tell she treated our dog well while were were away!
Kathryn is amazing! Stayed in our house and watched our two mini dachshunds. Walked them multiple times a day and sent twice daily updates and photos. We are so grateful to have no worries for our pups while Kathrynnis here - highest praise and recommendation!
Cressida was amazing! Lovely to work with and did a terrific job looking after Molly and the house. This was the first time we left our new dog overnight and Cressida kept us up to date with how they were doing, asked questions when she needed things I had forgotten to mention, and it all went great.
Savanna is a gem! We are so fortunate to have found and met her through Rover. She stayed with our three-yes, 3! English labs and one special little fish for seven nights. We came home to find them all very happy and clearly well taken care of. Plus our house looked like no one had been here, but better! She is a reliable, thoughtful, and warm caretaker.
