1. Brenda C.

“Brenda was very patient with my 2 cats, who had never been left alone before. She took care of everything and I was very happy with the service she provided. Will definitely book again if needed.”


2. Tori D.

“Tori was great! She dropped in daily to check on our dogs, feed them and have them go potty while I was doing long stretches of work with my husband out of town. She was communicative, respectful, and took some great pictures of our pups. We will be booking again!”


3. Ciara M.
“Ciara watched my dogs while my family was in Italy. We were in a pinch for just 3 specific days during the morning and afternoons. She came over in the morning and let our puppies outside for potty breaks, then later walked our 3 dogs, fed them, played, and just hung out with them. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting, she is an animal lover and would love nothing more than to spend time with you furry friends :)”


4. Tara S.

“Tara is amazing! Taking care of our sweet bubs while we went out of town for the weekend. Tara kept us updated with playtimes, and potty times as well as sending the cutest photos. On top of all that our sweet boy took an instant liking to Tara and we couldn’t be happier. A great communicator and very professional- we are definitely going to have Tara as our #1 to watch our pup from now on!”




5. Dee N.


“It’s always bitter sweet to leave Dee reviews—she’s an AMAZING sitter, but I don’t want anyone else to book her because my cat and I cherish her. She’s reliable, caring, and once again, went above and beyond to make sure my cat was given the best of care! Thank you for all you do, Dee!❤️”


6. April C.

“April was fantastic! Came on a pretty short notice and got our pups out to potty & play in the yard. Great communication & would absolutely (and will) use again. Thank you!”

8. Kaitlyn C.

“This is our second time with Kaitlyn. She watched our puppy last time and this time she watched our cats while we were out of town. She sent us updates everyday with lots of photos. She is very reliable and took great care of our cats. Thank you Kaitlyn!”




9. Brian S.

“Brian was fantastic. I wasn’t worried about my pets even a little while leaving them in his care. He arrived on time, communicated well, sent fantastic pictures to me after every visit, and most importantly my pets enjoyed his company. 10/10. If I need to use Rover again in the future, Brian is my first choice.”


10. Leo H.

“Leo is very reliable and communicative. We always feel comfortable being away when he checks in on or stays with our two dogs.”


11. Kathleen K.
“I have had the pleasure of entrusting my doggo to Katie on several occasions, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very first time, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a natural talent for caring for dogs. Katie is incredibly attentive, responsible, and compassionate. Every time I return, my dog is happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Katie takes the time to understand my dog’s unique needs and routines, ensuring consistency and comfort. She also goes above and beyond by sending updates and photos, which always puts my mind at ease. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving, and experienced dog sitter, Katie is absolutely the best choice. I feel so fortunate to have found someone who treats my dog like family!”

13. Gianni A.

“Gianni was very attentive to what I wanted as someone who is nervous to leave my pets for extended periods. They gave attention to each pet and I would use their services again and will recommend them to others as well. Their communication was A+ and my anxiety about leaving my pets was calmed. I could tell my pets really liked them.”


14. Vyless E.
About: I grew up with large breed dogs and even had to take care of puppies for many years. I have a dog of my own who adores others and a fenced in yard where the pets can run and play all day. I am mostly home all day except for the occasional errand run! Let me know what your expectations are and how I can make you feel secure. Please note I do require a crate trained dog and can provide the crate. I will gladly take your pet out with me to explore and can provide many check ins. Let’s chat and I’ll care for your fur baby as if they were mine I have a fenced in yard that your baby can run around in and a safe neighborhood we can go on walks. Let me know of any habits and temperament of your baby and I will adjust!


15. Trisha M.
“Trisha is one of the very few people I will trust with my Frenchie. Our dog has allergies and is on quite a few meds; a pampered pooch and Trisha treats her as her own. I don’t worry at all!!! She knows what she is doing and treats the dogs as any pet owner would want, like a real member of the family. Thank you, Trisha!”




16. Carolyn Q.

“We highly highly recommend Carolyn. She helped us out at the last minute when we needed a series of evening pet sittings for our elderly terrier, and was super flexible with timing. More importantly, Carolyn was so good with our senior dog, closely monitoring him all evening and calming his separation anxiety. We totally trust Carolyn in our home and with our terrier. We found our anxiety-prone canine napping next to her on the couch at the end of just the first evening!”


17. Taylor M.

“We booked drop ins and doggy day care with Taylor multiple times before and we are always happy with her! She follows instructions, provides great pictures, and is on time. She takes great care of our pets. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”


18. Stephanie W.
“Stephanie is very dependable and conscientious. She is especially observant, protective and detail minded. I trust her to watch my pet Goldendoodle as well as my kids. And she knows what it takes to take care of a pet who has special needs since she adopted a dog with some allergies and she has turned her health around.”


19. Kathy T.
About: Hi, I'm Kathy! I’m a lifelong animal lover and current husky mom, offering both dog walking and sitting. I’ve dog sat for friends and family over the years, and I also volunteer as a dog walker with local shelters. Whether it's a stroll around the block or hanging out for the day, I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. My husky keeps me on my toes, so I’m all about fun, engaging walks and making sure pups stay active and happy. I’ve also cared for turtles, chickens, and roosters—so I’m used to a variety of personalities! And while I haven’t owned a cat myself, I adore them and usually keep treats in my bag just in case I meet one. I’d love the opportunity to meet your little loved ones and keep them company! Pet care is part of my everyday life—I’m already out walking and spending time with my husky, so adding more furry friends to the mix fits right in. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some playtime, or just a buddy to chill and nap with, I’m happy to match their vibe and give them the company they need. I currently only offer care in clients’ homes, so I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. Whether that means feeding at a specific time, sticking to a favorite walking route, or just relaxing together, I’m happy to follow your instructions and give your pet the attention they’re used to. I aim to make every visit feel calm, positive, and familiar and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re in good hands!


20. Thao N.
About: With over 7 years of dog care experience and 3 years caring for cats, I’ve developed a strong bond with both types of furry friends. For dogs, I focus on daily walks, playtime, and keeping them comfortable and happy. I understand their needs for exercise and companionship, ensuring each pup gets plenty of love and attention. With cats, I’ve embraced their unique personalities, providing plenty of cuddles, playtime with their favorite toys, and monitoring their health and well-being. My passion for animals drives me to create a loving and safe environment, so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring hands! I work a full-time 9 to 5 job, but I’m excited to dedicate my afternoons, evenings, nights, and weekends to pet sitting. During my free time, I’m committed to providing loving care and attention to your pets! When caring for pets at a client’s home, I prioritize creating a familiar environment by respecting their routine and using their toys and surroundings to minimize stress. I provide daily care that includes feeding, walks, and playtime, ensuring pets receive the same level of attention they would get if their owner were home. I also monitor their health closely, keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or appetite and communicating with the owner if anything seems off. To keep owners informed and reassured while they’re away, I send regular updates and photos.
