“Brenda was absolutely amazing with Rocky! She sent lots of pictures, played with him and took extremely good care of him and the house while I was gone!! Rocky is a very high energy dog, and she knew just how to keep him entertained. I would highly recommend her!!”

“Before we left, Daniela came to visit 3 times to help Stella and Dixie (the cat) become friends with her and to meet our daughter, who lives next door, and our granddaughter, who also is a "dog" person. While we were gone, Daniela sent several text messages, some pictures of Stella, and a video of Stella playing with her dog, Harvey. These were very much appreciated and reassuring. Stella appeared well and happy when we returned, although she was surprised to see us at first, but soon nearly beat us to death with her long tail. We were very satisfied with Daniella's caring for our pets while we were gone.”

About: I have taken care of friends and family pets for the past 6 years, along with owning both cats and dogs of my own. I have experience with all sizes and many breeds of dogs. I'm available for walks, play time, overnight at your home, and spending time with your pets. I'm currently working part time and have only availability for overnight stays. While I am unable to board at my own home, I am available to stay at your place during the day or overnight. However you need me to care for your pet, I am ready. I am available for walks and playtime, along with spending time with your pets. I can provide updates as often as you would like, along with photos.

“We are always so happy when we can get Eileen to house sit our 2 dogs. We have a geriatric labradoodle that has special diet and some behavior issues and an active papillon chihuahua mix that just wants to dominate from your lap. Eileen makes them both feel loved snd cared for.”
“Michelle house sat for an our 62 lb 1-year-old labradoodle and brought her own 13 lb 2-year-old Duchhunt along with her. She was very respectful of our differen dog house rules (our dog is not allowed on our furniture) and accommodated our labradoodle's hyper arousal around her little dog, by the end of the week our dog was much better behaved around her dog, which was an added bonus towards his socialization. She told us our dog was ready for greater independence in our home with less dog gates etc, which was input we appreciated. She was respectful of our home and left it as she found it. She was very communicative, we heard from her daily with pictures and she responded promptly to any inquiries from us. I would highly recommend her without reservation.”


About: My name is Noah. I'm a work from home animal lover so your dog will never be lonely. I am passionate about animal care and I have a very open schedule which means that your dog will always be at the top of my priority list. My phone is by my side 24/7 so feel free to call, check up, or chat with me at any time. All animals are allowed to roam free and chill on the furniture so please make sure to groom your fur baby before bringing them to my home. I look forward to meeting and caring for your dog in the future. Why I love dog sitting From the day I was born, I have had dogs in my life. I grew up in a house with a puppy named "MacMac". Until I was about 16yrs old, he never left my side. Maybe my name has something to do with it, but I have always been an avid animal lover. I cherish every moment that I am able to spend with them because of their undeniable innocence and pure intentions. Please be advised: If your animal has fleas, they will not be allowed to enter and will be immediately returned to you so please make sure your dog / cat is groomed before your booking. -Thank you Open schedule. I don't take dogs if I have plans so nothing will change with my routine. Plenty of space and time for the job. I walk dogs whenever at least 6 times a day or whenever they ask me to. Comfortable with meds / heated food. Open top separation fencing available.
“This was our first time using Rover and Cindy went above and beyond our expectations! Our four puppies were very well taken care of, and Cindy did an amazing job! We were away for 4 days and she came to our house to watch the dogs. They got all of the love and attention that they get when we are with them! Looking forward to Cindy coming to take care of them again :)”

“Abigail is amazing with our pets! She was very communicative, very kind and our pets were very comfortable with her. Abigail was comfortable with feeding schedules and medication as well as physical activity with the pets. We’re very grateful for Abigail and the excellent care she gave our pets!”

“Elizabeth is wonderful. She exceeded our expectations and when it comes to our fur babies we have high expectations. Elizabeth is friendly, professional and trustworthy. We would give her more than 5 stars if we could.”

“Addie did a great job caring for our senior dog and two cats. She sent pictures while we were away so we felt connected to home while on vacation. We returned to a clean house and happy pets!”

“Orlany was a wonderful sitter for my Bella!! She sent me frequent updates and asked any questions about things she wasn’t sure of. Bella looooooved her and had a blast! I felt very happy to hear how much they enjoyed each other and that she was looked after so well. Would definitely book again ☺️”

“Sabrina was amazing with our high energy GSP. She sent lots of pictures and made us feel super comfortable leaving our sweet girl for the first time. She followed our requested routine and cared for our pup just as we would have. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have dog sat for two family friends on six separate occasions, helping with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and keeping their dogs company while they were away. I always try to follow the owner’s instructions carefully because I know every dog has its own routine, personality, and needs. I am patient, responsible, and gentle with pets, and I enjoy making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are gone. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 12 PM. My schedule gives me enough flexibility to do check-ins, feedings, playtime, walks, and make sure your cats or dogs feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I have a fenced yard, which is great for supervised outdoor time and play. I always make sure pets have fresh water, food according to their routine, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I also follow each owner’s instructions carefully because every pet has different needs, habits, and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet’s normal routine is kept as consistent as possible.

“Lauren was a great dog sitter very friendly and comfortable around our two big dogs. She did an excellent job and kept them entertained and provided company in addition to taking care of their base needs. Thank you!”

About: Our pets are our family. I’ve been fortunate enough to grow up owning numerous different types of animals of all ages and sizes. When looking for a caregiver for our pets, we want someone who treats them like family but is also highly educated. I take my ride in my knowledge and research on animals. Every animals has its own special needs and quirks. Whatever the needs, I’ll accommodate, whatever the quirks, I’ll adore. If hired for a walk, I will gladly jog with your dog for daily exercise! If hired to play, I will be sure to tire your dog out with play! All attention, love and care goes to your dog! I hope you'll consider me to take care of your extended family! I’ve grown up with all types of pets so they fit in my daily routine as any other family member would. With love, respect and company. In a clients home, I follow all instructions given and take into account any particular things they are fond of or prefer. It’s important to make your fur baby comfortable and at ease while taking care of them. They’re family!

Samantha went above and beyond when watching our Border Collie for a week. She treated her like her own and spoiled her. We were given frequent updates and pics that really put us at ease. We also have outdoor cats and some chickens that are mostly self sufficient but she took the time to check on them as well even though that wasn’t part of the booking. We would 100% book her again and recommend her to anyone.
