“Sara was fabulous! Our dog was snuggled and cared for by Sara so beautifully. She communicated with us on the daily, and made sure our dog got good exercise and outdoor time. She also house sat and took amazing care of our house. Would highly recommend her and rebook her in the future!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care that Hailey provided to our cat, Max. This was our first time using Rover and we got lucky finding Hailey. We liked her when we met for the in-person interview. She did a fantastic job taking care of Max for the two weeks we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that he was being well cared for and loved. She kept us updated with pictures of Max. Because of her, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation without worry. We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and currently have two dogs and a hedgehog of my own 💗 Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with walks, feeding, check-ins, and giving their pets attention when they need it. I have experience with different personalities from energetic pups to shy or older pets, and I always take the time to understand what makes each animal comfortable. I work part-time during the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care 🐾 I’m available Sundays and around my shifts for walks, feeding, check-ins, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m happy to keep pets active with walks and play or spend quiet time with pets who just want company 🤍 I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family 🐶🤍 I’m patient with nervous pets, comfortable caring for senior pets, and experienced with following specific routines. I can administer oral medications, ear drops, and eye drops when needed, and I always make sure owners’ instructions are followed carefully.
“I have found my person! Emily is a true animal lover. She took wonderful care of my chocolate lab and my cat peanut. (my other cat just hides all the time.). It allowed me to be away with my family without worry or concern. The schedule that I have with my dog is pretty rigorous and she followed it without fail. I am so grateful to her and will 1000% ask her to come watch my animals again.”
About: I have been called Dr. Dolittle my entire life. I have a knack for connecting with animals of all kinds. My very first job was working at a local farm with all different types of animals like horses, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. It was one of my favorite jobs, I got lucky! I also worked at a dog boarding facility which gave me experience working with multiple dogs at once. I always give animals the space to have their specific personality and the respect they deserve, as I would treat a human. Animals are often misunderstood, I’ve always tried to meet them where they stand. If there is one thing I am confident in, it’s making an animal feel safe and comfortable. And they do the same for me :) I would love to meet your faithful friend and see if they find me worthy of a tail wag or a belly pet! I currently work a very flexible part-time job. I have a lot of availability and can be very flexible. Working with animals is more than a job to me, I very much enjoy it. I will find ways to work with you and your pets personal needs. I love to schedule a meet-up before providing pet care. This is just to see that we are all on the same page and everyone feels it's a good fit. I do not offer home services. I will travel to your home so your pet can be where they are most comfortable. I work around you and your pets comfort. As a pet owner myself, I understand it can be hard to leave your companions in someone else’s care. I want to do what it takes to make you feel 100% safe and at ease when leaving your furbabies in my care.
“Lana is amazing!! She watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat while we were away for a week. She gave them tons of attention, was thoughtful with her care and pet stimulation, and very responsive. She also left our house clean and went above and beyond in caring for our space. We can’t wait to book Lana again”
“Jillian was great! She was quick to reach and easy to work with. Came to meet and greet with our girls(Sadie and Minnie). Kept lines of communication open at all times. It was a great relief to know our pets were home being well cared for and safe! 10/10 recommend!”
“Tara was amazing! She took care of our 3 dogs (all different sizes and breed) with much care and attention. She is an animal lover and you can tell. We highly recommend her and will be using again.”
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and ferrets. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, built around consistent feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I set aside dedicated time each day and week to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. This routine helps pets feel secure while allowing me to provide reliable, high-quality care. I provide attentive, compassionate care by following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, and playtime. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in a familiar environment. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health and provide regular updates to give owners peace of mind.
“Marcella’s mom, Ivana, stayed at our home with our dog for several days and nights. She is a wonderful, warm person and I was comfortable with her immediately. She was great with CiCi (our loving-but-stubborn 70-lb hound pup) and gave her lots of exercise and attention. She kept in touch with us daily and sent photos and status reports 💜 Amazing capable dog/house-sitter, hope to work with her again!”
“Sarah - was amazing! Our two dogs were so happy with her and were so happy when we got home. In addition, she was unexpectedly snowed in with them and took wonderful care of them and the house. We will be using her again and if anyone needs a personal recommendation, we are more than happy to endorse Sarah!”
“Isabelle took excellent care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She communicated often throughout her stay and made sure our little guy was well taken care of. We'll definitely be requesting her services again!”

About: Hi! I’m Lilli, and I worked in dog grooming for 4 years where I gained hands on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve also had pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. Along with grooming, I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for years for friends, family, and local clients. I’m very patient, reliable, and love making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away 🐾 I currently work part time, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week and on weekends. Because of this, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care when needed. I try to be as accommodating and reliable as possible, and I always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, comfort, and care they need while their owners are away. I’m also used to working with different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities from my years working in dog grooming and pet care. 🐾 I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their normal environment and routine. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and giving pets lots of attention and companionship while their owners are away. 🐾

We highly recommend Nina A. for any pet care services. She house sat for eight nights, taking great care of our 11 year old dog, Apollo. She is a highly responsible and conscientious person, who provided Apollo with a lot of love and attention. All of our inquiries were answered immediately by Nina. She provided pictures of our happy dog. Don’t hesitate to hire her!
At the last minute due to change in plans we found ourselves in need of a dog and house sitter for one night while we were away. I reached out to Jeffrey and he immediately got back to me with his availability. He was came out to the house a week before to meet the dogs and get any information helpful while sitting. He showed up the day of our departure early and communicated throughout his stay. He sent pictures and made us feel like our pups were well cared for. Jeffrey seems to truly love animals and was very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him for house sitting!
