“This was our first time working with Sue and she was great! Very friendly, our kitty went right up to her when she came over to meet him. She was easy to communicate with, and took excellent care of our little menace :)”
“Johnny truly goes above and beyond for your pet and the whole family. He is the best sitter we have ever had by far, there is no comparison. He pays attention to detail and truly does the best job.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, and love being around them! Long walks are never a problem with me and I’ll make sure your furry family member is happy, exercised, and well taken care of. I always have time during the mornings as I don’t leave for work until around 1:45pm. I’m typically done around 7pm-8:30pm so I’ve got time in the evenings to check up on them and get a nice long walk in before bed. I’m all about adapting to your pet’s routine. If there’s a certain structure to their day that they’re used to, I do my best to stick to and and replicate it so they’re comfortable and happy.
“Bekah was a star sitter!! The best we've had so far. You could tell she really cared for Diesel and spent her time playing with him and giving him so much love during her visit. She followed everything I had asked her to do & more. She cleaned up after Diesel and made sure he had everything he needed. She locked up afterwards and made sure Diesel was set before leaving. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Hoping to hire her again!”
“Olivia was super friendly and accommodating. My pets loved her and she sent several pictures daily to keep me updated. Followed all instructions perfectly and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of.”
“We had a great experience with Summer! She came to our home for an hour to walk, feed, and spend some playtime with our dog - and everything went perfectly. She arrived on time, followed all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter :-)”
“Shelby is an incredible sitter! He sent great updates and pictures of my sweet kitties and made sure to give them equal attention since they can be jealous. He was great about keeping their litter clean as well which is not an enjoyable job - I would recommend him to anyone looking for pet care!”
“Thank you Christine for taking great care of our babies. We love how caring and attentive you are to Sam and Mel. Your attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile is really appreciated 🙂🙏🏽”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience as a devoted pet parent. I also have hands-on experience with basic training, so your pup will enjoy gentle guidance along with play, cuddles, and structure. My home has a fenced yard, plenty of toys, and space to relax. I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected. Whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing, your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like family! I'm currently working from home with a very flexible schedule that allows me to care for, play with, and spend quality time with your pup! I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel at home. With a secure fenced yard, constant supervision, and a routine that matches their needs, your pet will be comfortable, active, and cared for. My friendly 13-lb Toy Aussie, Cozy, is gentle, playful, and a great companion for visiting pups.

“I have never used Rover before and Holly was the best! She gave me a detailed list of what all he did and what he was doing and even sent me pictures of Maui the whole time. The best service I have ever experienced with my dog and a sitter. I will for sure be reaching out to Holly again for service.”

She has such a kind and patient demeanor with animals, and her own 13-pound Mini Aussie, one of the most adorable and well-behaved dogs I’ve ever met, is a great testament to her love for pets. I’ve entrusted Virginia with both daycare and dog walking for my dog, and she’s always gone above and beyond to ensure my pet is happy and well-cared for.

Amazing experience - Lea dropped in to take care of my cat who’s been having some health issues while I was gone for the day and night. I felt super safe and comfortable around her around her as a person; as well as her experience owning both cats and dogs — would definitely book her again!
Emrick is the absolute BEST! She is kind, responsible and goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are healthy and happy. Her communication is excellent with very detailed updates, which I greatly appreciate. As a bonus, my house is clean when I get home, which is not easy with my messy pets. I couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of my pets! Thanks, Emrick!!!
Emily is the absolute best! I just went to Europe - absolutely terrified she would bring up random BS that she couldn't walk Dallas etc. when I had no options to do anything when I was that far away She handled everything seamlessly! Book her immediately! Shes a college student thats on point!
