“Marie was amazing with our needy , energetic frenchie! You can tell she cares deeply for animals. She asked all the right questions, making sure she understood our dog's needs and routine. She checked in often and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We highly recommend her!”


“Dahn took terrific care of my dog! She left me detailed messages and many photographs and videos throughout her time dogsitting. She asked questions if needed and left my house in same condition when she came. She even gave Shiloh a brand new chew toy and taught her a new game.”

We did a meet greet at our home with her and the dogs and we knew immediately Jordan was going to do awesome. She of took great care of our little guys and our house. Jordan is friendly, attentive to the dogs, and super easy to work with. She communicated throughout her stay giving us peace of mind knowing the dogs and our home were being well cared for. We will definitely use Jordan again !”


“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our three critters - 2 pups and a cat. She provided daily photo updates and was super responsive. We really appreciated having her stay over so we knew everyone was in good hands! Would definitely book her again.”


“I can honestly say that Max is the best pet sitter I’ve had yet! They were able to accommodate the sit on a bit of short notice, not to mention some unexpected medical needs for my dog. I almost didn’t go on my trip because my dog woke up with an eye infection that required medicine the morning I was supposed to leave. Max’s confidence to give her medicine put me at ease so I could still go. They kept me updated on how my pets were doing throughout my trip and gave them all the love/care they needed. Would absolutely book again and recommend to others.”


“Amanda was just great. She was very responsible and respectful and very communicative. She sent us pictures of Buddy and kept us informed of what he was doing. We felt very comfortable about being away knowing that Amanda was there. We found everything spotless when we returned and we really appreciate that! We'll certainly have Amanda back!”


“Veronica was wonderful! She played with our pup and took her on lots of walks. We got plenty of update photos and videos. She was really respectful of our home and left it very tidy. We’d be happy to have her again!”


“Matt was available within a few days notice. Ruby was very happy to stay home with him. He played, walked and hiked with her every day and sent us a daily update with pictures. We knew that she was happy and well taken care of! He also took great care of the house and everything was clean and tidy when we returned. We highly recommend Matt and will definitely have him stay next time we go away!”


“There is no one better than Jen…she treats our dogs like her own family and always leaves our place so tidy after house sittings. Our dogs love her and don’t ever leave her side when she’s here! Communication is also always great and there’s no reason to book anyone else but Jen!”


“Mary Rose was wonderful!! Very communicative, caring, and did a great job updating me while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. The frequent pictures she sent of my boy throughout the day eased any worry and I knew he was being well cared for. Cloud approved and made a new friend😊🤍”


“Amazing dogcare provider! Great communicator, receptive and willing to care for our furbabies the way we do. We felt comfortable leaving our pups with Melissa, knowing they’d be safe, highly recommend her!”


“Pauline is just great! She house-sat my very senior feline with so much kindness and was very communicative, sending photos and video, which really helped for my peace of mind, as he has some chronic health conditions and needs regular medication. I'd be glad to have her back and send her many thanks for her care!”


About: I have been responsible for my own pets’ care since I was 12. I have had a very active German Shepard mix and Sharpei growing up, which I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and care. I have a family friend that I walk and hike their dog for so I am comfortable doing both if your dog is more active. I currently work fully remote from my home with schedule flexibility so I am able to take pets for walks in mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to be flexible for walking and pet visits during guardian vacations, time away, etc. I have a pet-free home for any pets that are not used to other animals. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with green space. When dog-sitting, I take the approach of playing with a pet outside and familiarizing prior to introductory period in the home.

“Megan was great! Both of my dogs loved her! She was very professional. You could tell she loves animals. We needed a house/dog sitter in less than a week and Megan responded promptly to the request.”


“Rebecca is amazing with our dog - that has quite a personality! She’s conscious, attentive and caring - all we could ask for in a sitter. We were completely at easy knowing that Rebecca was in charge. Can’t wait to use her again in the future!”


About: I have spent 10 years of my life taking care of my own animals and families pet. On top of schooling to provide the best care possible. Currently part time, my availability is Sunday, Monday and Thursday. Hours can be interchangeable; never be afraid to ask :). Completely free those days to be attentive to your pets. I’ve had dogs all my life. I know how to play with animals for maximum exercise, can follow dietary instructions and have a deep rooted love for all species. Dogs are the babies in my home and receive the utmost care and love. Never worry about other dogs in the home or mistreatment from others.

Marie was more than I could ask for. I have never used this service before never mind leaving my fur baby with a stranger. Marie went above and beyond. She communicated with me daily and sent lots of pictures. She watered my plants, took the trash out on garbage day and fed our new Beta fish. I will definitely want to work with Marie in the future. I recommend Marie 10/10.

Jen just spent the past week in our home with our puppy. We’ve used Jen in the past and we already have her booked for several additional dates. She is 100% our go-to for house sitting and puppy care. We highly recommend her. Our puppy is always happy and very well cared for, and Jen takes excellent care of our home, leaving it spotless upon our return.

Davonna is AWESOME! She is communicative, punctual, friendly, and trustworthy. My gang enjoyed their weekend with her and she put my mind at ease. I’ve been using Rover for years and I never feel any less anxious when I have to find a housesitter but I will definitely book Davonna again!

Janalie is the best dog sitter around. She gave so much love and attention to our Labrador retriever and has amazing energy from the moment she met the dog. She kept us up to date and sent photos throughout her stay. Our doggo was in good spirits when we got home!

Teddy was absolutely amazing with our kitty! We had just moved to the area and had a graduation to attend over the weekend and were nervous about having to leave our cat after such a big move. Teddy was very kind and easy to communicate with and made sure that our cat was well cared for with play time, treats, and company while we were gone. They were also great at sending us picture updates during their stay. We would absolutely book again!

Melanie house and dog sat for our dog Luna for a few days while we traveled out of state. This was our first experience with Melanie other than a few daily walks and we were extremely happy with the care and communication. We received daily updates and pictures and Luna seemed happy and engaged every day with walks and playtime. Everything looked great upon our return. Melanie was responsive when I messaged her. We will definitely have Melanie watch Luna again and give her 5 stars! Thank you.
