Hannah did an outstanding job watching my dogs at my home for a couple nights. Her communication and updates throughout her stay were outstanding. She went up and beyond to make sure the house was in better shape than when it was left. My dog’s really enjoyed her. I would definitely recommend Hannah.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kylie watched my dogs and stayed at my home for a week, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dogs were so comfortable and content when I returned because she made sure they never felt alone while I was away. She clearly gave them so much love, attention, and care. She also took wonderful care of my home. Everything was clean, organized, and exactly as I left it. During the week, an unexpected water issue came up, and Kylie handled it with grace, professionalism, and excellent communication, seeing it through until everything was resolved. Kylie is dependable, caring, professional, and genuinely goes above and beyond. I am extremely happy with her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.

Caitlin was wonderful with my girls. She watched them over the 4th of July and spent all evening comforting them since they are terribly afraid of fireworks. The pups were super comfortable when I got home. I will absolutely be booking again.

Kayla was great! We came home to happy pups! She was very communicative and helpful with our senior dog and of course our crazy Frenchie Winston! She left our home tidy which isn’t always the case with house-sitters. We will definitely ask Kayla to watch our boys again!

About: We work from home full-time, which means your pup will get lots of supervision, attention, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Dogs staying with us typically get up to two walks a day, usually 1–2.5 mile walks at nearby trails. If your pup enjoys walks and adventures, they’re welcome to join! We also make sure dogs have plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention depending on their personality and energy level. We genuinely love pets and try to make them feel like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your dog is playful, cuddly, shy, energetic, or prefers a calmer environment, we do our best to adapt to their needs and routine. We're also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and we aim to create a safe, loving environment where both you and your pup feel comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I take my dog on walks twice a day for 1-2.5 miles in the park and typically spend the rest of the day at home, treating your babies like my own. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance from a park with wooded trails. I have a friendly pup in my home who loves having friends to play with. I will care for your pets like my own!

I cannot say enough positive things about Mary Grace! She house sat/pet sat our cat Luna and was fantastic. She provided great updates and photos and was attentive to all details house/pet related. She left our place cleaner than when she came and was very flexible when we had a slight schedule change. We’ll definitely be using her again!

I highly recommend Casey to care for your fur babies! We traveled out of town and she went over and beyond caring for our 16 year old Sadie. Casey is super clean and very polite. Knowing Sadie was being looked after by Casey provided such a wonderful trip to see our family. I can’t wait to have Casey come back for our next trip.

Chelsea was amazing! She stayed in our home for 11 days and cared for our two kittens, and checked to ensure our snake had water. She went above and beyond taking care of our home and our fur babies. I received texts with pics and videos nearly everyday. She was very responsive to messages. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

Mary was absolutely amazing with our pups. We are very particular about our dogs and their routines. Mary did a wonderful job communicating with us and was always attentive to the extra attention and details required for our girls. We never had to wait for a response and always felt that she was providing the best care while we were gone. We have been using Rover for several years and Mary was one of the best sitters we have used. We were so confident in her care, attention to detail, following instructions, and ease of communication that we are booking her for several more trips this year. Very happy with Mary and will continue to use her in the future.

Kayla cared for and loved on LoLo while I attended my Daughter's wedding in Italy. I had recently adopted LoLo from an animal rescue and was extremely nervous about leaving her as she was just getting used to me and her new environment. Kayla kept me updated and sent photos every day putting my mind at ease so I could enjoy the trip and the wedding festivities without worrying about my fur baby.
