“Ellie is seriously the best! She came over for a meet and greet, was very receptive and attentive to all the details. Sometimes I can be a little anxious about leaving my babies, but with Ellie I was very at ease. I know she read and followed all of the instructions because she was communicating every step of the way. And the way she talked about our dogs let me know that she was caring about them like her own. We will definitely be hiring Ellie every opportunity that she is available when we need a Rover.”


“Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She sent great updates and the most adorable pictures throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pup was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”



“Mary did a fantastic job with our 1yr old cattle dog and 11yr old cat. She stayed at our house for five days and checked in frequently. She took great care of them, and also went above and beyond. She cleaned the sheets, tidied the house, made us dinner and dessert to come back to, and even bought flowers. We will definitely be going to her first for dog/cat sitting for any upcoming trips.”


“We loved having Erin come take care of Nina. She came over to meet Nina beforehand, handled the list of medicines our dog needs, and was responsive to photo requests while we were out! Thanks again.”



“Heather was great about sending photos and updates while we were away which gave me a lot of peace of mind that my girls were behaving and doing well. She did an excellent job taking care of Bea and Betty. We came home to happy dogs and everything as we left it.”


“Christine took wonderful care of my fur babies! She kept me up to date on anything and everything that they did with tons of pictures. You could tell in the pictures that they were so happy with her. She also left my house completely clean which is amazing.”


About: I bring not just experience, but heartfelt understanding. I currently have two young, energetic dogs and had the privilege of loving my previous senior dog. That journey taught me the full spectrum of pet care-from playful puppyhood to the tender needs of aging companions. I work full-time in healthcare, mostly from home. With an internet connection I can work almost anywhere. My dogs are rarely left at home for more than a few hours and never left alone overnight. I give that same time and energy to your pets. I will follow whatever guidelines you prefer within your home. Whether that’s crating, sleeping on the bed, or their own special bed. I take frequent walks (if desired) and do not leave pets outside unattended.
