“Winnie is such a sweet person and loved my dogs. I will use her again and because I am going to be selfish and not want her to be to busy to watch my dogs.... she is wonderful.”
“Kerry was so great with our dog Quill when we were away! She sent updates and photos everyday and was very thoughtful and caring. When we got home, it was obvious Quill had a great time with Kerry and she truly cared for our house as well, leaving it as clean as when we left it. We would recommend Kerry as a dog sitter and definitely would use her again!”
“Deborah was amazing with our kitty! She provided loving care and kept us updated regularly on how she was eating, sleeping, and bonding. And we came home from our trip of 2+ weeks to a spotless house. We will definitely look to have Deborah sit again and would highly recommend her!”
“Grant and Yunrui took great care of our dog, Ellie, for a full week at our house. We appreciated that they did a meet and greet ahead of time so we could make sure it was a good fit. They sent pictures and an update every night and Ellie seemed very happy when we got back. Thank you!”
“Kyle did an amazing job taking care of my two big dogs after a last minute request for a weekend stay. My dogs warmed up to him immediately and he was very attentive to their needs. Kyle has also done additional drop in visits, providing updates and photos. I have already booked him for future housesitting and we will continue to book him as our trusted sitter.”
“William was fantastic! He was super responsive, communicative, and immediately put us at ease during our first experience using an overnight sitter. Our dogs can be pretty standoffish with new people, but they took to him right away — which says a lot. Even our cat loved him! It was clear our pets were comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to William again in the future”
“Melissa was incredible. It was our first time having a housesitter and Melissa exceeded our expectations. We got multiple updates and photos each day without having to ask. Our house was immaculate and our puppy was happy. So grateful for Melissa!”
About: I have been around all kinds of cats and dogs. I’ve been petsitting in my neighborhood since the summer of 2019. I am offering overnight services! I am not in season for volleyball and I am on summer break until August 15. I am taking summer classes this summer so I am not available Monday-Thursday 11:30-1:30! I will plan to drop in before and after my classes though! I prefer not to bring any pets into my home. However, I am more comfortable with staying overnight in the owner’s home with the pets!
“I was worried about leaving my senior pets - who are kind but very particular - for a trip but Kelly was great with them! She sent lots of updates and spoiled them as they deserved. I felt comfortable knowing she was staying with them and I will definitely use Kelly again.”
“McKenna was so great! She really paid attention to every little detail about our 2 pups and took amazing care of them while we were away. She sent lots of pics and updates and was also super flexible and understanding when our flight got delayed! We will absolutely book her again!”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Brandi. She’s definitely spoiled, and her irregular eating habits are just part of her missing us—it’s nothing to do with you. Once again, thank you so much for taking care of Brandi. It truly means a lot to me!”
“Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 14 years old. Friends, Family, and Neighbors have trustingly relied on me for feeding, watering, grooming, and playing with there fur babies. I am great with problem solving, communication, and body language when it comes to your fur babies safety and happiness. I work my own hours so I can be very flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs. I adjust routines to fit your pets needs as well. Your pets safety, needs, and happiness are my first priority. I follow within your pets routine that is handed to me. I will always communicate/update you anywhere and anytime on your pets.
About: Not every dog can stay with just anyone — and I understand that. I know first hand how hard it is when the 1 person you trust is unavailable. I have a stranger danger dogs of my own, plus a senior with medical needs. I have 8 years of dog experience and 3 years as a vet tech. I love the dogs that need extra patience, understanding, and experienced handling. Whether your dog is reactive, nervous, elderly, high-energy, or has medical needs, I provide calm, judgment-free care and keep their routine as stress-free as possible while you’re away. There’s no better feeling than adding another person to the list of people you trust with your pup. I work 8–4 four days a week with a mid-day potty break to make sure your pup gets care and attention during the day. On my days off, I like to really make the most of the time—whether that’s couch cuddles and chill time, enrichment activities, or a hike for the more active pups. Pups are never left alone more than 4-6 hrs. I always respect clients home as my own and always do a quick tidy before leaving from the stay. I also don’t mind any additional things you need done while you are away such as bringing in the mail or watering the flowers.
“I highly recommend Katherine! This was our first time using her services, and she definitely met our expectations. She was extremely communicative, followed our specific care instructions to the letter, and took wonderful care of our cat and dog. In her home visit beforehand, she asked specific questions that showed she was listening and cared about corrective care. When we returned, not only were our animals happy to see us, but they seemed completely at ease - as if we’d never left. The house was just as we left it, and she even took care of thoughtful little details, like refilling the water pitcher we use for their bowls. You really can’t ask for more when trusting someone with your pets.”

Excellent dog and house sitter. Pets were calm and well cared for while we were away. Erin communicated with us several times a day and kept us updated on their daily activities. She has a great deal of experience working with pets and catered to their individual needs.
Eyowyn was great! She sent multiple photo updates and took great care of Dixie. She was responsive and made sure to take the time to do a meet in greet giving me piece of mind and letting Dixie get comfortable with her. The house was left clean and as if she hadn’t been here. She’s the best!
Tiana is the ultimate professional. I almost had to cancel the booking due to unforeseen circumstances. She handled it with understanding, grace, and patience. I’m glad I was able to make alternate plans and keep my booking with her. She was early to everything related to the booking which shows how serious she takes her job. I made a short notice decision to come home early and Tiana responded and adjusted well to that also. She made sure the puppies were taken care of and everything in the house was in order so I can just go straight to bed.
I had a great experience with Maya as a sitter for my puppy Nela. She showed up on time, was reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the day. She followed all feeding instructions exactly and went above and beyond by giving Nela plenty of playtime and sending me updates. Highly recommend!
Kelly watched our older dog and cat while we were gone for a week. We came home to two happy and healthy fur balls! As always, Kelly was super communicative the entire time and sent a ton of adorable pictures of them. They love her! Highly recommend booking with her, she leaves you with some happy fur babies! The house was exactly as we left it, she is also extremely respectful of your home and property. She is our go to Rover!
Katherine was great with Zelda, they had a lot of fun. She took very good care of my house, even changed a battery in my smoke detector that was starting to beep. The house was immaculate when I got home, and Zelda was really happy. The communication was really good and I plan to use her again soon!
