“Taryn was great with my cat and senior dog! We appreciated the consistent check ins and photos and felt confident our pets or our home were in good hands while we were away.”
“Molly loves Lulu. She has been a blessing to our little family. Daily pics and updates are always so appreciated! It’s our 3rd time to have her watch our little princess and we could not be happier. Thank you, Lulu!!”
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”
“Amazing caretaker. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were taken care of. My dog had a cough and she took him to the vet and kept me updated every step of the way. Would recommend her to any pet owner!”
“Maryn did a great job watching our kitties. She stuck to our routine with their feeding schedules and left our home exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond with leaving food and water out for the neighborhood cats who were not included in the booking but who my husband and I look after. We will definitely be booking with Maryn again!”
“Jennifer’s pet and house sitting service was great. She communicated very well, both before and during her stay. She provided both photos and updates each day. Would definitely book her again.”
“We had never used Rover before as we were hesitant to leave our babies with strangers. I chose Abby from reading her great reviews. She did an amazing job with our 2 dogs and cat. We knew they’d been well taken care of by the way they acted when we got home. She communicated well and sent daily pictures. She stayed at our home and even washed and made the bed! She left our home great. I would highly recommend her!”
“As always, Vanessa did a wonderful job watching our greyhound mix. She even arrived at our house early due to an impending storm which gave me peace of mind that our dog who's anxious with storms would be as comfortable as possible. I greatly appreciate her flexibility and care!”
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I currently work 9-5 Monday through Friday. I can provide morning and afternoon care visits as well as overnight care when needed. Morning visits would be early morning around 7am for breakfast and afternoon visits anywhere from 6-8pm for play time and dinner. Weekends I am available all day. I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut.
“Great to work with, very confident and helpful, even during a tornado coming through town she stayed with our pets in the basement keeping them safe! Kept us updated and sent pics to show us how they were doing. Thanks so much for the help!”
“Charlett was great and trustworthy! She showed up on time, was quick to communicate, spent time hanging out with our dog, even texted pictures of him throughout our vacation. Charlett even drew us a picture of our dog. We will use her again!”
“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”
“Lori was so wonderful with our dogs. Our little guy in particular has a hard time meeting new people and Lori came up with a fantastic plan to make our pup feel more comfortable. We received so many sweet pictures while we were away. We would recommend Lori to anyone!!”
“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”
“Melissa was so wonderful with my high needs cat and my anxious pup!! When some big changes happened in my household and with my long international trip, she rolled with it and found a way to accommodate. Thank you, Melissa! We would love to have you taking care of the babies any time.”
“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”

Mattie really seems to love our fur babies when taking care of them in our absence. We regularly received text photos and updates letting us know how they were all doing. In one picture, one of our cats was laying on Mattie's legs while our dogs were snuggled up the each side of her. Our condo lobby attendant said Mattie was super nice and great with our pets.
Taryn was wonderful to work with. I had originally booked her for one night of watching my dog, Teddy.. When I became aware that I needed someone for two nights, I contacted her and she was able to adjust her schedule so that she could watch my dog for both nights. This was the first time I had ever used a pet sitter, so there was some apprehension. However, after reading some of her reviews that feeling diminished. After meeting her, any apprehension I had had disappeared and I knew O made the right choice. She showed up on time on both days. The first day, we made sure to meet in a public area. We had allowed enough time for her and Teddy to meet and get use to each other. It took a little bit for him to settle but he warmed up to her. On the second day, there was no "getting familiar" from Teddy. He was immediately at ease. Communication was excellent throughout. There was no assuming that something was ok. If there was something she wanted to do that we had not previously discussed, she politely asked me for permission. That only confirmed with me that I had made the right choice. On both nights, she sent me a picture of Teddy at rest as well as informing me about his behavior. As you might be able to tell, I was extremely pleased with Taryn and highly recommend her to handle you and your pet's needs.
This was my first time using Rover, and my first time leaving my kitties. I was blown away at how wonderful Ashley was! She was so attentive and wonderful with them. She did perfect with the insulin injections for Pedro and made sure he ate, sent me pictures and I swear my house was cleaner than when I left it! I highly recommend her. 🩵
Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and texts, which was great peace of mind! It was obvious how comfortable our dog was with her, from the pictures of him totally relaxed with his belly in the air and how much fun he was having in the yard when we got home!
I can’t say enough good things about Kennedy! While I was in Mexico, she took such incredible care of my dogs and gave me total peace of mind the entire time. She went above and beyond—not only making sure they were happy, cared for, and loved on, but also administering their medications and kept everything on track. When feeding schedules needed to change, she adapted without hesitation and handled it all seamlessly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that kind of trust is priceless. I came home to calm, healthy, happy pups—which says everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly compassionate pet sitter!
We've used Mirette twice now to house-sit/dog-sit our older Westie, and she did a great job! She was great at communicating with us and was at the house the vast majority of the time with our dog, which we loved! The house was clean when we got home and we had no issues! We would recommend Mirette, and would definitely use her again the next time we travel!
Kat did a great job with our potty training and teething puppy! She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were at work all day. She did some of the training we're working on. She communicated any questions she had about our puppy and handling her mischief. She even put everything in our DogLog app for us! She's coming back later this week and we're so grateful!
Aaliyah did wonderful with my older pittie when needing someone to watch her last minute. She was reliably on time for visits and took her on plenty of walks. She came by before to meet her and get to know the house. She provided timely updates and responses. Will definitely use Aaliyah again!
Illa was professional and very responsible in taking care of my Maltese. She’s spoiled to death but that’s the way I like her to be and Illa was very respectful of that and contacted me about one issue which I definitely appreciated. It all worked out great and I definitely would recommend her for doing a wonderful job!
