I was stuck in a difficult situation and not only was Gillian super communicative and understanding, she was willing to work with me to make sure my dog was taken care of and was so patient and kind! She's been wonderful and would definitely book again!

Courtney takes the best care of our pets. Even our shyest cat comes out for pets and playtime with her and they are very comfortable with her consistency and attention.

Marissa took great care of my Pluto and Damien. She sent me some great pictures when I was away so that I knew they were being taken care of, and they were clearly well fed and watered while I was gone. She is easy to communicate with as well, and she will be visiting my cats away when I am away for a longer trip. Highly recommend!!

About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs my whole life, and more recently I’ve owned chickens as well. Starting with cats, I’ve fed and cleaned up after the ones we’ve owned, as well as taken care of the cats and kittens we fostered over the years. I’ve bottle fed them, helped give vaccines, and everything else in between when it comes to raising and taking care of them. I have also helped pet sit many of our neighbors as well as friends cats over the years. We have also owned several dogs, and I have tons of experience with walking and feeding them. We currently own 3; 2 small dogs and 1 big dog, so I have learned how to take care of many sizes of dog. Like with cats, I’ve also walked and fed my neighbors dogs many times when they’ve gone out of town. Lastly, we’ve raised more chickens than I can count in the past 7ish years, and I’ve taken care of chicks we got from breeders, as well as chicks born from our own hens and roosters. All of our chickens free range and are egg layers, so I treat them like any other pet and not like livestock. I have experience feeding them, fending off hawks and other predators, putting them to bed every night, as well as animal-proofing the coops themselves. For almost my whole life, I’ve helped feed our cats and scooped their litter just about every day. I also walk and feed each of our dogs throughout the day. Finally, I feed and put up our chickens many times throughout each week. I follow any instructions my clients may have and can cater to their pets needs. I love on and treat others pets the same way I would with my own, and have done so for neighbors, family, friends, as well as many others.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. My mom previously co-founded a dog rescue in New Hampshire, and I grew up helping with foster dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Through that experience, I learned how to work with shy and nervous dogs, high energy breeds, and everything in between. I’m very comfortable with large and strong dogs. I have a Newfoundland, German Shepherd, and Husky of my own so I understand the structure, consistency, and exercise they need. Whether your dog is big, small, young, or senior, I can confidently provide safe, attentive care. My experience includes walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m dependable, motivated, and flexible, and I treat every dog like my own. Your pup will receive patient, responsible, loving care every visit. Weekend walks and drop-ins available! Weekday visits can often be arranged with advance notice. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Safety, structure, and communication are my top priorities. I use secure leashing practices, remain attentive on walks, and follow all feeding and care instructions precisely. I respect your home and ensure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and cared for every visit!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life; I grew up surrounded by them and have been caring for them since I was young. For years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and family, gaining experience with many different breeds and personalities. Because my mother was a Veterinary Technician for 15 years, I grew up learning the essentials of animal wellness and safety directly from a professional. I am dedicated to bringing that same level of care and expertise to your pets! I currently work part-time as a lifeguard, so my schedule is incredibly flexible, and I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your furry friends. Whether it's high-energy playtime with dogs or cozy snuggles with cats, I thrive on making sure pets feel happy and safe while their owners are away. When I care for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining the high standard of care they are already used to. Because every pet is unique, I tailor my approach to meet their specific needs and your household rules.

About: I have had pets my whole life and still currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a Guinea pig. I have been responsible for cleaning up after them, grooming, playing, and providing their medicine when needed. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters and have gained knowledge about different temperaments and personalities when working with the many dogs. Also in my time during high school I was one of the more reliable animal caregivers within the students. I am currently on summer break from college and I am available during most of the summer and would love to spend time with your pets while you take a nice vacation with the family! I spend lots of time with my pets at home and make sure they get the loving that they need. We cuddle, play, and even nap together. Within a clients home I would be happy to adjust and give the animal the cuddles they need or tug of war they want.

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have loved every second of it! I’ve had my own for the past 7 years, and I care for every dog I meet like they’re my own. I’m a stay at home mom and looking to spend some time outside the house! I love dogs and I’d love to spend time with yours! I am available anytime on the weekends, weekday mornings/evenings. I can do a mid day visit as well! When I’m in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their instructions so pets feel at ease in their own environment. One of my dogs gets terrible anxiety when we leave him, so I know how stressful It is for pups to not have their humans home! I want them to be as comfortable as possible. I give each pet the same care and attention I’d want for my own.

Alyeska was awesome! We had a senior dog with very specific needs and she did very well with him. She also made friends with our two kitties which was awesome as well. I would recommend her to others without question.

We have used Rover for over 10 years and Rachel is the absolute gold standard. She uses the entire duration of her visit and sends detailed notes as well as mapping our dog's walks. Our pets are very comfortable with Rachel and we're grateful for the detailed attention, care, and kindness with which she looks after them and creates her well documented check-ins. During our most recent booking, Rachel was incredibly flexible with us when we had an emergency while traveling that extended our stay beyond our initially booked appointments. When that extended stay meant the waste bags we provided ran out she not only brought her own for the rest of the additional visits but actually left us two full extra rolls. She truly goes so far above and beyond and we'll always book with Rachel whenever we have the chance!

We are so happy that we found Marissa to check in on our sweet cat Spooky while we were away. I’m usually very nervous, and we were going to be very far away for over a week, but after meeting Marissa, we were both very comfortable and confident that Spooky would be in good hands. We looked forward to the photos Marissa sent us each day of Spooky playing, and we returned to a happy and healthy kitty. Thank you for your efficient communication and for taking wonderful care of our baby!

Lucy was wonderful and we felt confident and comfortable having Lucy come to our home and care for our sweet senior dog who needed extra tender loving care. She was conscientious and all was in good order. When we need home pet sitter care we would be happy to have her come back.
