“Katie took excellent care of our dogs and our home. We felt very comfortable with her and the dogs took to her right away. She took them for walks and sent pictures too! Thank you Katie!”

“Salem did a great job taking care of my two dogs. They stayed over at my house (cared for the dogs in my home while I was gone multiple days) and left things in good shape. They are super responsive, and sent me lots of photos and updates so I could see how everything was going. I would definitely recommend them!!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. I’ve dog sat several times over the span of a decade. I’ve cared for dog breeds of all ages, sizes and personalities. Whether it was daily walks, overnight stays, and followed detailed care routines. I also love to stay active and will provide long walks in the neighborhood or local parks! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my classes and study time around pet care. Whether it’s starting with a morning walk or stopping by in the afternoon. Typically I am available Monday-Friday. In clients houses, I make it my top priority to care for your space, respect your pets as I would my own home. I stick closely to your pets usual routine for feeding, walks and playtime. And I’ll always keep you updated with photos or messages to see how they’re doing.

“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”


“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again in the future!”

“Annemarie was a WONDERFUL dog sitter for my pup! She was so attentive and kept me informed the entire time, and Laika absolutely adored her. I will definitely be rebooking!”


“Karina was amazing with our pup! She sent frequent updates and pics and even bought her little treats. She was incredibly flexible with our dates and times, and went above and beyond any sitter we’ve ever had- both for our dog and kids. And super affordable. Highly recommended!!!”


“Stephanie took excellent care of my diabetic dog who had some surprise additional restrictions after a tooth removal earlier that week. Additionally, she left my house spotless.”

About: I have experience taking care of a high medical needs cat. I also have experience with deaf and blind cats. I understand each pet is an individual and will adjust my care as I get to know them. Some pets love human interaction and others need their space. I’m absolutely ready to kiss and hug them or give them the distance they need to feel safe. Nothing like the smell of fresh litter in the morning! I am a cat mom to 2 playful, cuddly adopted babies. I recently became a volunteer at a cat shelter, which gives me so much purpose. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I am looking to occasionally pet sit on weekends and early mornings on weekdays. Home is a scared place. I will treat your pets and your space respectfully. I can send you all the photos you need to feel comfortable, or video call you. I am comfortable cleaning up after your pet, and giving them all the cuddles and words of affirmation they need while you are away.

“Kooy was so gentle and patient with our very nervous and wary dog. He has an excellent sense for canine body language and took wonderful care of our cat, fish, and our home, too. Highly recommend him!”


“Maddie was an excellent dog sitter to our three dogs, two huskies and a Jack Russell. The pictures sent during our trip helped us feel at ease knowing they felt safe. Plus, her extra effort walking the pack above and beyond was amazing. When we arrived home, they were so relaxed almost like we hadn’t been gone! Even our one dog who is anxious was very quick to settle in like no time had pass. We would recommend Maddie to anyone!!”


About: From high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I tailor care to every dog’s unique personality and routine. I send regular updates, cute photos, and quick texts so you always know your pup is happy and safe. I have a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, meals, or just cuddles, I’m around to care for them like they’re my own. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible from feeding times to walks to bedtime habits to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always keep things clean, secure, and calm, and I make sure to check in regularly with updates and photos. Most importantly, I take the time to understand the pet’s personality so they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease while their humans are away.

“Cassandra was fantastic with our two pups while we were away for a few days. She’s very patient and understanding with our dogs’ needs. She’s very communicative; asking questions, sending updates and sharing pics daily. Thank you again!”
