“This was my first time using a Rover sitter but it won’t be my last. I loved Georgia’s regular updates and photos each day. She seemed to care about my kitty and providing her with loving care while we were away. Thank you, Georgia!”
“Vicky is amazing with my dog. I contacted her for a last minute home visit (she had taken care of him a few months earlier) and I am really glad she could fulfill my request. I highly recommend her services.”
About: My wife Erika and I are dog lovers through and through. We rescued our pup Kenzie in 2020 and she has been the best addition to our family. We love taking her on walks and spoiling her. We look forward to caring for your dog like they are our own. My wife and I both work from home. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can step away when needed to take care of any needs that come up. We look forward to helping with whatever needs you have, whether it is dog walking, feeding, letting them out or just keeping them company. For boarding and doggy day care, it is important that your dog is able to climb up steps as our bedroom and home offices are on the second floor. Unfortunately for house sitting, we do not accept requests if there is also a cat in the home. Please let us know what we can help with!
“Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.”
“Alyssa was a pleasure to work with! Our two cats warmed up to her immediately. She was supper communicative in her notes to us while we were away, and we appreciated all the pictures she sent to show us how much fun the cats were having with her. We would be happy to book with Alyssa again in the future!”
“If u want to be confident that your dog is being cared for while u r away Martina is the best. I can personally vouch for the time and care she takes to make sure your beloved animal is happy, safe and comfortable while u r away from them. We hate to leave our pets. And with the illness that was going around we didn't want to take our doggy to a kennel. Knowing she was at home and in her own space was the most important thing to us. Thank you Martina. I hope u can be proud of the wonderful job you do for us.”
“Kat was great from the beginning of first meeting. She’s so sweet and I can feel the warmth that how much she cares about animals. She’s also very responsive and sent me a great pics of our kitties. I’d defiantly will contact her again :-) thanks ? Kat”
“Highly recommend! Addison has watched my dog Luna multiple times, and I’ve been very happy each time. She’s reliable, always arrives on time and communicates if there’s any change in arrival. She gives Luna a great walk and is very understanding if I ever need to cancel”
“2nd time we've had Natalie watch our cats. She's prompt and great with communication. I would definitely recommend her for drop in visits, and I look forward to having her watch the cats again in the future.”
“I left my two cats that I love dearly for 6 days! Any time I leave them I worry bc they both have medical issues and need special attention. While I was gone, I didn’t worry once about them!!!! And every time I’ve left in the past, I’ve worried so much so that it dampens my time away. I looked forward to getting her updates and seeing the adorable pics she would send. She is a great communicator and I felt that she really cared for them at the highest level and paid attention to the details. I will use her again and again even just for overnights as well as any vacations in the future. Highly recommend (and I’m very obsessive about their care😂❤️)”
“They were willing to work with a very last-minute request and went right over to take care of our boys. Having no familiarity with the dogs, they still worked with their quirks and weren't afraid to ask questions when it was needed. Like how to get Rory back inside when he really wanted to keep playing. We are very grateful!”
About: I have always loved dogs and always wanted one. So since I can’t have one I would love to take care of yours! I have taken care of many dogs of the years. I have watched dogs through house sitting. The longest I watched someone’s dogs was a month. I’m very comfortable around dogs and love them very much. They would get all the love from me! I am a teacher so I’m on summer break. I have all the time in the world! I would love to include walking dogs in my summer routine. I always clean up after myself and your dog. I make sure your and your dogs needs are always met. I don’t have space for a dog at my own house though.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12. My friends and family have counted on me to walk, feed, water and love on their animals I am home all day Monday-Thursday unless something comes up. I don’t usually have a set schedule throughout the day. It’s just whatever I decide to do I don’t have a house to care for pets at. At my clients house I will play with the dog in the backyard. Feed and water and just make sure they are loved

“Meghan was great! Wonderful meet and greet. Always a bit anxious when someone new watches your dogs, but love the communication and the care level.”
Chris & Erika O.Star Sitter
“CJ and Erika are lovely pet sitters who care for my two boys excellently! Right off the bat, when I first met them, I got an amazing first impression. They were warm and friendly and were instantly great with both of my dogs! Whenever I go out of town, I don’t stress about how long I am gone because of CJ and Erika :) When they let the boys outside to go potty, they also refill their water dish and food dish if needed. They typically stay for a little bit and give them lots of love. The best thing is they message me with updates after every visit. They genuinely take my worries away, and I fully know my boys are being looked after by two great people! I will continue to use CJ and Erika for my two boys, who love them so much.”

Katherine F.
“I highly recommend Kate as a responsible, loving, and trustworthy dog walker and pet sitter. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing her for 4 years, and I can confidently say that animals naturally gravitate toward her calm and caring energy. Kate is incredibly attentive to the unique needs of every pet and always ensures they feel safe, exercised, and loved. Whether it’s going the extra mile on a walk, giving medication, or just spending time cuddling and playing, she treats every animal as if it were their own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about animals, Kate is the perfect choice. Your pets will be in excellent hands.”
