“Great experience with Sara house and dog sitting! I had last minute travel needs and was worried about finding care for my two dogs, and also about having a new sitter in the house for the week. Sara came by to meet the dogs before I left, and set my mind at ease by providing frequent updates and pictures while I was gone, and from her description of my dogs’ behaviors I could tell they had warmed up to her and were comfortable, which in turn made me comfortable. She was responsive when I reached out to check in as well. When I came home I noticed Sara had also brought in garbage bins and washed bedding, which was unexpected, but a very nice gesture. I’ll be a repeat client and would recommend her services.”

“Nicole was my first time ever using a Rover and she made it comfortable and easy! She was great with my dog and had good communication with me before and during my time away. I felt at peace being away from my puppers knowing Nicole was taking good care of her.”

“Ashley is always welcome in our family of furry friends! She continues to bring comfort, a friendly face, and loads of fun for all!! Thank you, Ashley, for being such a wonderful member of our extended family ❤️”

“Kate communicated well and often when house sitting with my 2 dogs. She seemed patient and empathetic with my elderly dog. The house looked great when we got home and while away I was happy to see pics texted to me of them going for walks, which they love!”
“Brooke was AMAZING!! She went above and beyond while watching our furry friends in our home:) We received TONS of pictures and updates along with some light cleaning around the house. She even shoveled:) We will definitely be booking Brooke again in the future! She is already missed;)”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Chastity. She was extremely flexible and responsive when it came to scheduling. Communication was excellent, and she regularly shared photos of a very happy dog. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed her time with Tillie. We came home to a fresh batch of people cookies and treats for Tillie. We will definitely hire Chastity again!”

“Ty was great with my pups! He was a great communicator throughout the process. One of my dogs is reactive to other dogs, which is my greatest concern when someone else is with them. He took the necessary precautions and there were no issues. He was a respectful guest in our home. Would definitely use Ty again!”

“Penny was prompt, communicative, and took great care of our girl. We receive pictures and updates while we were away and came home to a happy dog and clean home. We will definitely reach out next time we need a dog sitter!”

About: I was raised in a home with lots of animals, dogs, cats and fish. My grandparents raised rabbits and birds. I was around pets domestic and exotic and love all creatures. My first job was pet sitting, my second was in a horse stable. I've had animals in my care my whole life. My day job is caring for humans as a nurse, I would love to say hi to your good boys and girls! I do work 4 days a week and so my schedule will be open around those hours. I don't mind waking up early, or staying up a little late. My noon hour availability is on my days off. Our dogs are herding breed and very active, so I am used to playing all of the games. I like to use positive reinforcement with all animals. I will treat your home with respect just like I do my own.
“Kayla went above and beyond for our boy! She is super reliable and took such amazing care of Jax! Just to add how amazing she is, our garage code wasn’t working and she stayed over an hour locked out trying to figure out a solution to make sure she got to Jax while we were out of town!! A+ from us!”

“Renee took incredible care of our three dogs while we were away! We had a 2-week trip to the Philippines planned but were nervous about leaving our dogs for that long. Renee was able to stay in our house for 2 weeks, taking care of the dogs in their own environment, so they felt happy and comfortable. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our dogs were in great hands with Renee. We will definitely have Renee stay with our dogs again when we travel. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Jackie was 100%! She was a reliable, caring pet and house sitter and even added an extra day last minute when our plane was rescheduled. The dogs and cat were well taken care of (my picky senior dog even took her pill for her and ate well!) and we got photos and updates daily. She even washed her sheets and cleaned the kitchen before she left. We would totally book her again but I’m guessing she is going to be hard to get!”

“I cannot recommend Lydia enough! She took such great care of our two dogs and cat and also our home!! Our little mini Doxie had some anxiety with Mom and Dad being away and Lydia was so patient and kind! They were best buddies by the time we returned home! It was so nice to be able to relax while away because Lydia did an amazing job keeping us informed on how things were going! We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: With over a decade of hands-on pet care experience, animals have always been at the heart of my life. I’ve been the proud owner of rescues since 2014, starting with Marley—a loyal Bloodhound-Lab mix—and more recently adopting a spirited Bloodhound-Weimaraner in 2022, whom I’ve worked with extensively on training and behavior. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From welcoming a pup into my home for 14 out of 17 months while her dad was deployed, to helping another family by watching their dog during Blue Angels performances, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care—and I honor that trust with genuine love, attention, and consistency. My experience isn’t limited to dogs, either. I grew up working at a horse stable, where I learned the discipline and responsibility that comes with animal care at an early age. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a senior companion, or a rescue with special needs, I’m here to give them the same care I give my own. I work part time remotely and have a flexible schedule that I create. I can work my schedule around your pet and what they need. I would care for your pet in their home environment based on the established schedule of them. Keeping pets comfortable in their environment is something I strive to do.
“Kristine is an amazing cat-sitter! She was super at feeding my our cats with their feeding times. Making sure they had plenty of attention and also making sure their litter boxes were done as well. She even taught our cats how to sit while we were gone! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone looking. Our place was left super clean probably even cleaner then we had left it. Thank you again Kristine. You made this anxious cat momma feel at ease with your messages and photos while we were gone.”

“Sydney helped us out with a VERY last minute booking and still made us feel at ease that Ember (our pup) was in good hands. She went out of her way to do a meet and greet with us the day we connected with her and was very communicative throughout the stay whenever we reached out! We will definitely use her again!”

Des is truly exceptional. Every time we book her, we are reminded why we would not trust our cat with anyone else. The level of care, attention, and genuine love she gives is immediately obvious. Our cat is always playful, happy, and so well cared for, which speaks volumes about the bond she builds and the environment she creates. Her updates are consistently thoughtful and reassuring, and you can tell she treats our cat like her own. Having Des care for our cat gives us complete peace of mind, and that is priceless. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will continue to book with her every time.

Raquel was absolutely fantastic! We had a change of plans at the last minute and she was so accommodating and took great care our babies. We had never been away from any of them for more than 24 hours plus we have an 8 month old puppy so I know they were probably a handful but she took it all in stride. I HIGHLY recommend her!!

Anna (aka Caroline) was just wonderful. She took excellent care of the house and our dogs while we were out of town. She was so meticulous about learning their quirks and she sent great updates. We’d certainly seek her services again and I’d recommend her to anyone!

Hanna was great!😊 she was nice enough to do a meet and greet with our dog before watching her over the weekend. She gave us updates and was great at communicating with us about how our dog was doing!! Would recommend Hanna and will book her again for dog sitting!👍
