“Paige stayed at my house with my 3 dogs for the weekend. They have challenging personalities, and she was very kind and patient. She left my house tidy, going above and beyond to wash dishes she used while here! I would definitely recommend Paige to anyone and will have her watch my dogs again in the future.”
“Megan was amazing! As soon as she came in she was enthusiastic and our puppy instantly loved her. She wasn’t intimidated by his energy. Megan was also extremely flexible when our initial plans changed, and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog in her care.”

“Sydney and her husband were absolutely amazing! One of our girls is on medication, and they went above and beyond to clarify and ensure Elza received it exactly as needed. We looked forward to the nightly updates and adorable pictures- our girls truly looked like they were having the time of their lives!”

“We had a great experience with Morgan! She stayed late when my flight was delayed. I came back to a neat apartment and a happy dog. Completely different experience then boarding. I received daily updates while I was on my trip. She was able to accommodate: - elderly dog - potty pads - car rides - leash reactivity - oral medication - small animal care (amphibians)”

“Lael swooped in to take care of our dogs when our other dog watcher had scheduling problems. She was accommodating and cared for our 9 week post leg surgery dog and other dog with congestive heart failure. Thank you, Lael, for making our vacation worry free!”
“I am very happy with the service Maddison provided. She was very communicative before and during her stay with my two pups, which made my nervous heart happy. She left my house spotless as well. I will use her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, caring for breeds ranging from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs and Saint Bernards. Being around such a wide range of sizes, temperaments, and needs has made me very adaptable and confident in handling different personalities. Over the past 10 years, I’ve also rescued and cared for many kittens, which has given me hands-on experience with feeding schedules, socialization, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is my patience and attentiveness. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, routines, and comfort level so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m especially gentle with shy pets and understand how to build trust at their pace. I’m also comfortable supporting basic puppy training like reinforcing routines and positive behaviors, as well as providing extra care and patience for senior pets who may need a slower pace or additional attention. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life since I have two cats of my own. I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes regularly, and making time for play, attention, and general care every day. Because of this, adding additional pets into my routine feels very natural and manageable. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide consistent check-ins, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I stay organized and plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive reliable, attentive care. My routine is calm, structured, and centered around making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, litter box or potty needs, and playtime. I make sure they have a quiet space to settle in, and I keep a close eye on their behavior to ensure they’re adjusting well. Cleanliness is a priority for me, especially when it comes to litter boxes, food areas, and overall pet spaces. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both your space and your pet’s routine. I stick closely to your instructions, whether that’s feeding, administering basic care, playtime, or maintaining litter boxes. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, so I aim to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I also provide updates so you feel reassured that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Katie was amazing! She took such good care of Mac and was super responsive to me the whole time. I ended up having to stay out of town one night longer than originally planned too and she was able to help out and stay one more night. So sweet and kind. Will absolutely hire her again.”


“Sydney was really great with my dog Blu. She came over and housesit for me and even went out of her way to go pick up my dog from the groomers for me!! she was very good with blue. I definitely would recommend her to anybody.”

“Booked Stefanie last minute! She quickly accepted my request and she made sure to get all the information needed from me, in order to be able to house sit my four dogs. When I arrived home my dogs seemed to be content and I noticed Stefanie gave my dogs the treats and food I left behind. She provided updates and was able to answer any questions I had. This was my first time using Rover and I am glad I could find a dog lover that made sure all of mine were taken care of. She was even went one step further by hand feeding my picky dog without me asking her to do so!”

“Thank you Maria for taking such good care of my Mazy! You were amazing and when we came home Mazy was still as happy and excited as she always is! That lets me know you gave her attention and were a great sitter! Thank you again and I am definitely booking you again!”

“Olivia took great care of our three dogs and an axolotl. She stayed at our house and was a very considerate guest leaving the house clean upon her departure. She was very easy to work with. I can’t be more happier with my decision to hire her to watch after our dogs. I highly recommend her.”

We had such a great experience with Megan. She stayed in our home for two nights and took wonderful care of our dog and two cats. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were comfortable, well loved and sticking to their normal routine while we were out of town. She was reliable, communicative and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We came home to happy pets and a well kept house. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet care!
