“Larry provided exceptional care for our crew. He accommodated a last minute booking and some changes in travel plans, all while taking excellent care of our dog and two cats. Larry provided daily updates and was quick to share any concerns so we could address. Our pets were happy and content when we got home, cared for just as we would have. Went hesitate to call on Larry again. And would recommend to anyone. Thanks Larry!”
About: I have had a dog all my life both big and small. I also cat sit and I’m willing to take care of all animals. Helping with your pets helps me be happy:) I am a PA student and I have classes from 10-3 most days. I am available to check in before or after class at anytime. I also am available weekends as well. I currently don’t have any pets in my home. I live in an apartment and I’m willing to go sit at your place or check in on the animals when needed.
“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”
“Jordan was amazing. She was very flexible and even stayed an extra night when my flight was delayed getting home. She took wonderful care of our two dogs and also took great care of the house. She was attentive to all the dogs needs and routines.”
“Breezy was awesome! We were out of town for 5 nights and needed someone to take care of our 16 year old, anxious, deaf mini dachshund - Breezy took on the challenge and was great with her! I would definitely recommend Breezy to anyone with an elderly and anxious pup!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog caregiver, and I truly understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your furry family member. I'm currently a proud pet parent to two high-energy dogs, so I know firsthand how to keep pups engaged, exercised, and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, tug-of-war, or just some good belly rubs, I'm here to give them the attention they deserve.I work a traditional 9–5 job, but I’m flexible and can schedule around that to make sure your dog is well cared for during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care that fit comfortably around my work hours, ensuring your pup gets the love and attention they deserve! Let's set up a meet and greet, and hopefully had your pup to my extended family! I work a traditional 9–5 job, but I’m flexible and can schedule around that to make sure your dog is well cared for during mornings, extended evenings, and weekends. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs who can keep your fur baby company! I have 2 large crates that can house both of my dogs if individual play time is needed!
“Amy was amazing with our fur babies, she cared for them they like they were her own and we felt so safe and comfortable with her in our home. We 100% would recommend to friends or family !!”
“Emma was great! She communicated before, during and after our trip. She followed all instructions, and even our nervous pets loved her. She learned how to give our diabetic cat insulin shots. And at the end she cleaned more than we asked, so we had a nice clean home to return to. Thanks Emma!”
“Miranda was such a huge help for staying with my 3 rowdy dogs when I went on a weekend trip. She provided AMPLE photos (which I loved), was so understanding with my anxiety about leaving them, and provided great updates. She was also quick to respond when I texted her to check in & most importantly, made sure my epileptic one got his meds on time. My dogs LOVED her, they looked so happy in the photos & when I would check my yard camera, they loved the playtime, snuggles & all of the attention they received. I will 100% be using Miranda for future bookings, and I would encourage any other pet parent to do the same!”
“Hannah is awesome! Booked short notice and she took wonderful care of my 2 year old lab . Very communicative and sent lots of updated and photos. Highly recommend.”
“Tyshaun had great communication throughout the stay and provided plenty of updates! He kept the dogs on schedule with meals and medications and was willing to stay a bit late when our flights were delayed. Very happy with the service.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Abi while we were away! She took amazing care of Loki and Hazel, and I truly felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Hazel is a very anxious dog and rarely warms up to new people — she never goes on walks with anyone but us — and she actually went out on a walk with her! That alone speaks volumes about the patience, kindness, and calm energy she brings. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were gone. I’m so grateful to have found someone we trust so fully. We will absolutely be hiring her again and again!”

Lisa and her daughter, Abbi took care of Gus, our 13y/o old pup for 2 weeks and we couldn't be happier. They took the time each day to send photos and a quick update on how he was doing. They also house-sat for us so Gus wouldn't feel lonely. Abbi followed the directions/instructions to a "T", and we came home to a very well looked after pup. They were very responsive after making first contact on Rover and showed up on time for each meeting. Very pleased and will use them in the future with no questions.
Absolutely phenomenal! De' ara G. went above and beyond in every possible way while watching Ares and looking after my home. Leaving your dog and your household behind can always be a bit stressful, but I was completely at ease knowing De'Ara G. was in charge. They didn't just meet the basic requirements—they truly gave Ares top-tier care, attention, and exercise. On top of that, they took incredible care of the household, keeping everything clean, secure, and organized. I came home to a happy, well-loved dog and a spotless house. If you are looking for someone who is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cares, look no further. I will absolutely be hiring De'Ara G. again!
We could not recommend Sara enough! She has an obvious love for all animals, that translates very naturally into her care for them. She offered a meet and greet before her stay and provided updates throughout the weekend. We absolutely will trust her again with our home and animals, and recommend her to other friends and family in need of a sitter.
Adriana is incredible. Roscoe really liked her. She went over and beyond for him and really appreciate that. He is an anxious boy but she was patient with him and even did training with him while I was away. Definitely helped ease my mind and I hope to book her again!
Our dogs had a great time with Brieana and settled in with her right away! When we got home, it honestly felt like we had never even left. She took great care of them, kept us updated, and treated them with so much care. We’re really grateful to have found someone we trust with our pups, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!
She is amazing! Delannie watched our pups when we were out of town and we have nothing but great things to say about her. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions and clarify anything to make sure our babies were happy and healthy. She was very good at communicating overall and updating us with pictures and how they were doing. She also went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess one of the dogs made. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone who asked!
Emmanuel took great care of our six year old Maltipoo while we were away for 10 days. She takes a while to get used to strangers, but she warmed up to him relatively quickly. Emmanuel is a mature young man who has a calm demeanor that our dog responded well to. He sent pictures and videos throughout our trip showing how comfortable and playful she was with him.
