“Greyson was a great pet sitter. This was our first time using Rover and Greyson made the experience so easy and reassuring. She made sure to meet our pets before we left and to get any special instructions. While we were gone we got updates every morning and evening. This not only assured us that everything/everyone was doing well, but showed us how comfortable our pets became around Greyson. We also had a massive storm while we were away with a prolonged power outage. Greyson made sure to let us know that all the pets were doing fine and kept us informed on the status of our power and household. It was such a relief to be able to have that communication. We will definitely be rebooking with Greyson for future trips and I would highly recommend them.”

“Fatima took great care of our dog Blue! We felt reassured being away with pictures and updates. Fatima is also very kind and accommodating, would definitely reach out again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for a long time. I love playing with dogs especially with dog toys like tug of war or fetch. I can also just sit with your dog and keep them company if they enjoy having lazy days I work full time 3 pm to midnight currently but am open to overnights when I get off work and staying with your fur family thru the day before work. I have had animals in my house for many years now and have always been very loving and caring for them. Making sure they get walked accordingly and get loved accordingly.
“This was our first time using Jessi and she was amazing, we were updated with over 60 pictures of our dog throughout with detailed updates and she left our house spotless, thank you so much Jessi we really appreciate you”

“Rylie was very responsive and very attentive to our pups. She also sent great photos. She has great experience with her own dogs and with her work at a doggy day care and was very comfortable when a last minute issue came up and knew which issues she should contact us about.”

“Elizabeth was outstanding! She kept us informed during our vacation, and took great care of the house in addition to our dog! She also took our dog for nice walks despite the frigid weather. We will happily use her again.”

“Kelly was amazing! She took the time to understand our anxious dog with two meet&greets, and stayed in close contact while we were away. Our pets seemed to have a great time.”
“Ally did a great job with our 5 cats while we were away for a short weekend trip. All of our cats have varying degrees of socialization skills and comfort with strangers but she was able to keep track of all their differences and adjust their care based on their needs. We appreciated that she hung out with them during the day and sent pictures of them while we were gone as well. We would definitely have Ally back again next time we are away!”


“Nichole was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs loved her and felt comfortable with her right away — even Bugsy, who usually takes a little time to warm up to new people. It made such a difference being able to keep them in their own home; it was so much less stressful for them. She sent daily photos and updates, and you could clearly see how happy and well cared for they were. I truly couldn’t be happier with the care they received. We would absolutely book with her again!”

About: We provide boarding for your cat or dog in a family-based environment. We try to keep a structured and caring home environment for pets while their owners are away. Our goal is to keep the experience for you and your pet as safe and stress free as possible. Additionally, I have First Aid and CPR Certification for cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free Certified means I was trained to look at subtle signs of stress in dogs and cats before they escalate. As well as techniques to make interactions with dogs and cats less stressful. My husband works from home, and I'm also at home with my children. During the school year I do drop off and pick up for the kids. My husband is home at this time. Therefore, dogs are generally always supervised, although there may be brief periods of time we are all out of the home. We have an area designated for the dogs in our home. This helps reduce the risk of escaping and helps keep them more safe. We also have a fenced in backyard. However, we always supervise interactions in the backyard between dogs or when the dogs are alone.
“James was amazing with my two big dogs and house sitting while we were away for a few days! Easy communication, adorable pictures, and somehow pacified my wild 2.5yr pit/mastiff mix. Highly recommend booking with him.”

“Jackie is amazing- I asked her to watch Tucker very last minute, and she was SO accommodating. She sent so many pictures/videos of Tucker and he absolutely loved her!! I will definitely book with her again!”

“Alexis is just great with my dog and cat. My dog is 100% a herding dog, e.g., needs lots of exercise, and she gave that to her. Fast walks, playing in the backyard with a herding ball, etc. The notes she left about my dog were phenomenal. Very, very informative. I have already scheduled her for later this summer.”

“Rani & her husband took such great care of our fur babies! They stayed in our apartment and were very respectful of our space and keeping it clean/tidy. We got numerous updates with photos daily. They truly cared for our pups like they were their own. I felt very at ease and would highly recommend!!”

About: I'm new to professional pet sitting, but caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. I bring calm energy that animals warm up to quickly. I have a part time position at petco. I've enjoyed my work with clients thusfar and would prefer to take on more clients as a full time option. I might not be the best to describe this but i am a pushover and believe all the fluff balls deserve to be cuddled up.
“The house was left very neat and she was good at communicating with us. Our cats hid throughout much of her stay, but that's their normal behavior with new people and not a reflection on Jaicyn. She actually seemed like a caring and nice person and we're hoping to have her again.”
