Jayden watched my 2 big dogs and cat for a week at my house. They provided frequent updates and administered meds and made sure my picky animals were all well fed. We returned home to a cleaner house than we left it. They were wonderful and I’m so grateful for their care!

Elizabeth took amazing care of our dog and our home while we were away for a wedding this weekend. She is a great communicator, updated us every day on how our dog was doing, and our dog was in great spirits when we returned! We will definitely ask her to watch our dog again in the future and would highly recommend to a friend.

Annie watched our French Bulldog, Fiona, for 7 days. It was also a holiday weekend which is a big deal. She did a great job with Fiona! She would send pictures and Fiona looked like she was in her element at home. I felt so comfortable with Annie taking care of Fiona that I didn't feel the need to check in constantly (which is a big thing for me). She also left the apartment just as clean as we had left it! She was great!

Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child. I’ve loved animals since I can remember and I am very passionate about their wellbeing. I have experience with a variety of breeds and with senior care. I have not had a a dog in my home since my 17 year old chihuahua, Taco Bell, passed away last year. He was my heart and with not having a furry friend at home any longer any chance I’ve gotten to interact with any pup since has filled me with so much joy. Pets are family and I will care for yours as if they were my own. I’m just getting started on Rover and my schedule is very flexible. I can work my day around your pet and their needs. If you choose me as a repeat sitter I will gladly adapt to your pets schedule. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I’m currently unable to host pets in my own home but I will gladly take care of your baby in the comfort of their own home. Being in a familiar environment will help your pet feel more at ease and comfortable. I will be mindful and respectful of your space while I am there. I will follow whatever routines you have in place for your pet to ensure their peace and happiness.

About: Hi. I have over 20 years of experience work with animals, especially dogs. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experienced with ages from 8 weeks to over 20 years. I can help with sitting, boarding, walking, cuddling, playing, the list can go on an on. For boarding I currently have no pets of my own at home as in the last year my 2 loved dogs passed at the ages of 19 and 20. I’m currently working from home so I can go out for potty breaks every couple hours and walks every 4 hours. Feeding will depend on your dogs needs and routine. I care for other just as I care for my own pets, with love, caution and safety. My home and yard are safe and secure.

Jasmine was amazing! She showed great compassion toward our pups and responsiveness to our concerns. One of dogs had GI symptoms from the start of her visit. Jasmine monitored closely and took our pup to the emergency vet for us (the pup is fine 😊)… this was an unexpected snag that took a lot of time and care. But Jasmine did it willingly and kept us informed throughout. We will definitely hire her again!!! (Oh! And she did a great job taking care of the house too!)

Kexin took great care of our 10-year-old lab mix, Theo, providing frequent updates while we were on vacation. She was really on top of everything, suggesting a meet-and-greet with Theo right away. She asked great questions about how he interacts with other dogs/people on walks, whether he takes medicines, etc. I could tell right away she has plenty of experience. Our boy was in great hands :)

Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.

Allison has been an amazing dogsitter for our dog, Max. This is the third time we’ve worked with her, and she continues to exceed expectations every time. She’s reliable & communicative, and most importantly Max is always happy and well taken care of when we return. It gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Highly recommend Allison!

Maniyah did an amazing job caring for my Yorkie, Major, while I was away. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, patient, and genuinely caring. Major is very emotionally attached to me and normally takes time warming up to people, but he became extremely comfortable with her throughout the stay, which gave me a huge sense of peace while traveling. She consistently kept me updated with messages, photos, and videos, which I truly appreciated. I could tell Major was receiving attention, love, playtime, and comfort while I was gone. She also followed his routines closely and treated both Major and my home with care and respect. Overall, Maniyah made this entire experience smooth and stress-free for me. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pet. Thank you again for taking such great care of my little guy!

Ahriel housesat for us for 15 days over the holiday to care for our Boston Terrier, Millie. Ahriel was very professional, responsible, and reliable. Ahri was thoughtful in her questions during the meet and greet and Millie liked her immediately, which isn’t always the case. While we were away, she communicated regularly with us in line with our agreed frequency, sending photos and making note of anything concerning. She stayed at our home while we were away and left it clean and exactly as it was when we left (maybe better?). Millie is happy and healthy! I would highly recommend Ahri and will always check her availability for future sits!
