“Amy watched my Pomeranian, Peaches, for a couple of days last week, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the start, she was an excellent communicator and brought such a calm, grounding energy—exactly what both I and my dog needed. She even came early the day I was leaving and gently soothed Peaches while I packed. Peaches didn’t even realize I was heading out! Amy is truly a dog whisperer and gave me complete peace of mind. She’s the kind of sitter every dog owner hopes to find.”
“Stephanie is so wonderful with my pups! She is a great communicator, sends me updates and pictures and my dogs seemed relaxed when I came back after my work trip. 100% recommended 🙌”
“Kate is the best. My fur babies are always so happy when we get home. She is extremely respectful of our home. It’s always hard to leave your babies but knowing they are being taken care of so well makes going on vacation that much sweeter”
“Jerrod was fantastic. Took great care of our pup while we were out of town! We were worried about leaving the pup alone for the first time but everything went smoothly! He sent lots of pics and kept us updated. Chewie had a great time with him! Thank you so much!”
“Morgan was absolutely incredible—so attentive, and my dogs adored her! She went above and beyond, allowing me to fully enjoy my sister’s wedding without a single worry about my fur babies. Her thoughtful photo updates and messages were incredibly comforting. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Where do I begin?? Melody is the best! I haven’t trusted many people with my dog but I would 100% trust Melody to watch him again. My biggest worry was that my dog was taking 4 different medications when I was leaving him and Melody administered the complicated medications with no problem at all. He is also a very high energy dog and she cared for him with such ease. If you are looking for someone you can trust and rely on to take excellent care of your pet, then look no further. Oh and she cleaned my apartment - it was spotless and cleaner than when I left it. Such a kind gesture to come home to after a long travel day. I cannot recommend Melody enough :)”
“Sam was wonderful! She took great care of our 115 lb Leonberger and of our house while she stayed here. She was great at communicating with us and sending pictures along the way.”
“Fern was amazing! First rover i’ve ever gotten that i would book to sit twice. I have been burnt before in the past sadly but Fern sent so many photos and was so communicative and went above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend her for your pet sitting needs! The cats loved her.”
About: I have taken animal science classes for past 4 years and previously worked at doggy daycare and boarding facilities. I am also proficient on administering many specialized medications such as insulin and heart meds. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12 years old and have worked with all types of dogs from Chihuahua puppies to senior Great Danes. I am currently working part time, usually from home while going into the office a few days a week. I would be free to visit any pups all throughout the day on most weekdays, usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, as well as the weekend. I always ensure that whatever animal I am taking care of is comfortable and feels that they are in a safe environment as well as others around them. Being with people other than their parents can be a stressful situation for some pets and I work to make that encounter as stress free as possible.
“Tati watched our two golden retrievers at our house for two whole days and one overnight. We're so happy and impressed with the care that Tati gave to our two dogs. She was very detailed and even came to meet the dogs a couple of days before to learn about their routine. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a dog or house sitter!”

“We felt so comfortable leaving our boy with Dale! She was incredible, meeting him beforehand and keeping us updated with photos and texts. We will absolutely be booking Dale again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Carlie was a wonderful sitter for our dog and house while we had to take a last minute work trip and then again the next week when we left on our planned vacation. She sent photos every day and the house was spotless when we returned. We will not hesitate to hire her back to watch our pup the next time we need to go out of town.”
“Will is great, he really connected with the dogs stayed in contact the whole time. He was very present to work with and seemed super excited to stay over and play with the pups. Overall a great experience”

Jenny S.
“Jenny is amazing with dogs and very passionate about them. We adopted puppies from the same litter and she has taken great care of her dog, Freya. She has watched my dog Jaxson on many occasions and I trust her 100% to take great care of him. Both of our dogs have their quirks and aren't the easiest to manage, and she is very patient with them. She also grew up with 2 dogs so she's always had them in her life. She absolutely ADORES any and all dogs and would make a great dog sitter for Rover!”
