“Ona is wonderful. We were gone for about 2 weeks and she was wonderful for all our critters including (one large dog with some separation anxiety, one large dog who can be bit of a handful on walks). She communicated with me daily. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our home and beloved pets were in such good hands.”

“Alyssa was great! She offered to come by to meet our fur babies ahead of time to make sure they would be comfortable! She followed our list to a T and then some! We will definitely book her again when we go out of town next! Thank you again Alyssa!”

“Lavinia was absolutely awesome! Our dog Marge is reactive so not always the easiest for new people to handle, but she was comfortable with her immediately and seemed to have a great time. Super thorough and communicative sitter, I would definitely rebook! :)”

About: Hi! I have been pet sitting for friends and families since college! I grew up with cats and watch friends dogs often when they are out of town! I currently have two rabbits of my own! I know finding someone who knows how to take care of exotic pets can be difficult as they are sweet and sensitive creatures and would love to give people security in knowing their pets are in good hands! I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule so I am able to do drop ins and walks at all times during the day! I am available on weekdays and weekends! As a rabbit owner, I am hyper aware of my surrounding and of pet behaviors as they are so sensitive to changes. I am patient, kind and diligent when checking up on pets and make sure they are left in a clean environment and have everything they need before I leave!
“Suzanne was a terrific dog sitter for us! Punctual, communicative, trustworthy and friendly, we knew our pups would be in good hands. Suzanne provided us with several photos, videos and updates, all of which were much appreciated as we don’t often have folks stay with our dogs. We were able to fully rest and relax away from home, knowing our dogs were in loving hands!”

“Nikole was awesome! She kept me updated everyday about how Bella was doing and even checked in before an unexpected thunder storm to make sure there weren’t any extra precautions that needed to be taken to keep Bella calm. Would definitely recommend Nikole and will be using her again!”

“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
“Corwin was responsive, very clearly communicated with us, and made sure our pups were taken care of while we were away. He sent frequent updates and was very professional. We really enjoyed having Corwin take care of our pups and would happy to have him do it again in the future!”

“John was amazing. This was the first time we had a sitter for our 10 month old lab and he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed about the entire experience. He helped train our dog and made him comfortable when we were gone. We can’t wait to ask for John to help us in the future. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. Lucky to have found him.”

“Sarah is amazing with our dog, Stevie! She has sat for Stevie in her home and ours, and we are always so happy to know Stevie is being well-cared for and having a great time. Sarah is very communicative and always sends pictures! Highly recommend!”

“Annaliese was the right sitter & my dogs instantly felt comfortable upon meeting her. I received several updates with photos as to how the dogs were doing, she stuck to schedule & instructions I left, and she has positive Energy.”

About: I treat pets like family, they are not "just a job". I will always provide detailed updates (photos, texts, notes) so you feel connected while away. I am organized, accountable, consistent, and dependable. Reputation for clear communication and follow-through. I also offer more than sitting—like walks, playtime enrichment, light grooming, and medication support. Reliable in emergencies, with a calm, problem-solving approach. **PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT available to stay overnight in your home. Please contact me to discuss specific details about your needs!** Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day, I set aside time for walks, feedings, play, and quiet companionship, making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. Because I enjoy spending time with animals, their care never feels like a task—it’s simply part of my lifestyle. Throughout the week, I organize visits and check-ins with the same attention to detail I bring to any professional commitment, ensuring that every pet gets consistent, reliable care tailored to their routine. For me, being with animals is both grounding and joyful, and I make space for it the way others make space for their favorite hobbies. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of time for play, exercise, and cuddles, while keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and exercise routines to medication needs and special preferences. I also make sure to keep you connected with regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal in both settings is the same: to provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps tails wagging and whiskers purring.
“I thought to myself this morning how I barely worried about my cat during my five day vacation…. and it's because of Jada! She kept me updated throughout - let me know when she was leaving/going and sent plenty of pictures.. I 1000% recommend her! Thank you Jada!!”

“Jessica did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our three dogs and bunny while we were gone for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and left our house so clean! Would love to have her house sit again”

“Nikki did such a great job watching Lakota! She took the time to come over and do a lengthy meet n’ greet so we were able to get to know each other and we could share details about Lakota. When we arrived back home the house was clean and Lakota was calm and I could tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to Nikki for all of our dog watching needs in the future!”

“Portia is AWESOME! Super communicative, very responsible, and so sweet with our dog, Bear. We’ve used her for drop in/walks and home stays, and she was FAB for both. We’re grateful to have found our dog sitter in ROC!”
