“Josette did a wonderful job of taking care of our three dogs. She is responsive, reliable, was great with giving medications to our senior dog, providing updates and pictures. She stayed at our home while we were away, which we love because both my husband and I work from home. Our dogs are used to having someone at home almost all day long. She also walked our dogs in the morning and in the evening. She played ball with our dogs a few times a day in the backyard. She is also clean and tidy. She washed all the towels and bedding that she used. We did not expect that at all. We’re so grateful to have found her. She loves animals and understands a dogs’ body language. We will be returning clients. We highly recommend Josette to take care of your pets.”
“This was my first time using Amanda’s services and I couldn’t be happier! Communication was great from start to finish, my pups absolutely loved her, and she left my house spotless. Highly recommend!”
“Selina took the best care of my dog and home while we had a weekend away. She sent frequent updates and was great at communicating anything she was unclear about. We already have her booked to stay again and knowing she’ll be the one watching our dog really gives me peace of mind. I would highly recommend!”
“Brandon was happily able to accommodate my last minute request. I gave him some specific instructions as I have a puppy that frequently barks and he had done just as I said when I returned home. He also arrived a couple of minutes early. He has a calm presence, I would hire Brandon again 👍☺️ 🐾”
“Matt was great! While on a long vacation he looked after our pup at our house. We received pictures and updates every day. The house looked great when we got home and Ruby was a happy girl. We will definitely reach out and have Matt stay at our home and look after Ruby next time we travel!!”
“I can't recommend Kaeli enough! She really went the extra mile to ensure Eddie was comfortable and happy while we enjoyed our vacation. Communication was excellent... she texted frequently and sent pictures, and not only followed our care instructions but added some extra walks and playtime in just for good measure. Eddie loved her! She even left the house in better shape than when she arrived. Needless to say, we will be using her again. We highly recommend!”
“Yulia was attentive, truly caring, and provided plenty of photos & videos of our 3 fur babies while we were away for 5 days. She’s truly a dog sitting angel. Would re book her in an instant!!”
“Yajahyra was wonderful with my 2 Samoyeds (one who's in her terrible toddler phase...), I hit her up super last minute and she was so accommodating and communicative throughout! 10/10 would book again!”
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter, I bring pet owners peace of mind and worry-free vacations, your fur babies are safe with me. I cared for my own animals (both cats and dogs) from babies to old age so I’m well versed on complete pet care. Rest assured your fur babies will be in good hands. You’ll receive updates so you know how your babies are acclimating. Great to meet you, my name is Angela I love exploring new areas and caring for pets, I work remote and love walking, running and rubbing bellies. I don’t have pets of my own anymore so this gives me an opportunity to spend quality time with incredibly lovely pets. I love bringing pet owners peace of mind. I know leaving your furry animals, while on vacation, can be stressful. I can help, I’m highly skilled in identifying distress or irregularities. Some pets need extra love when their owners leave and I am able to offer them comfort, love and attention.
“Roshanda was wonderful with our dog Finch. He can be a BIG energy, stubborn little hound and she handled him perfectly. We were sent updates and photos each day so I felt comforted knowing he was safe. Thank you!”
“Adam helped me with last minute sitting for my pups. He did everything I asked, and even repeated the instructions to me so that I knew he understood. He arrived early and is a very good communicator. I'm always a little nervous with a new sitter, but Adam played with and snuggled them and they were happy campers when I arrived back home. I will definitely be asking Adam for more help in the future!”
“Absolutely amazing. I never trust anyone with my 16 year old delicate baby and she did so well either Riley. Riley had a few accidents and she even took care of her and moved her, got her clean blankets under her and sent update pics. Will book again. Very professional and reliable!”
“Chelsea was great with my pets, and sent me photos and updates throughout the day and it was a great first experience with using Rover for the first time, will definitely be using her again!! Thank you Chelsea”
“Brianna did amazing! I have 2 dogs one who is very old and needs a lot of care. She did such a good job seeing to all their particular needs! It’s so great to have someone we can trust to watch our high maintenance pups.”
“Naomi took wonderful, loving care of our little blind and deaf fur baby on short notice for 6 hours while we attended a celebration of life service and reception. What a sweetheart! We feel very fortunate to have found her and will call on her for any future sitting needs. Thank you, Naomi!”

Stephanie is great! We have 2 older high anxiety dogs with heart problems and a cat that doesn’t like anyone. She was extremely attentive to their needs and made sure they were super comfortable. Usually when we get home, they have a lot of anxiety. This time, it was like we never left!
Sara is a dedicated proffesional with a true love for our four-legged furry friends. We have three girls, all 10 years and older, each requiring individual care. One required injections twice a day promptly at 8:00. With Sara, we were kept informed of daily doings with videos and messages. We always felt like the girls were taken care of. We could tell from the videos that Sara communicated with each girl equally and lovingly. I was so pleased with Sara that I told all my fellow dog parents about her. Sara was also very prompt in responding to calls and messages. Our dogs require 24/7 care and Sara made this a pleasure, not a chore. When we returned home, we knew the girls had been well cared for. We travel a lot and I have had a total of 28 dogs and cats so far in my life. I would never consider boarding my dogs and would rank Sara as one of the best doggie caregivers I have known over the past 50 years. Thanks, Sara.
Samantha is my dogs best friend. The videos she sent twice a day of them together or out on walks were so wonderful. I have been stopped by neighbors to tell me what a pleasure it was to watch them. I hope Samantha will always be available when we travel. I would like to leave a tip for her of $100
Cassidy was beyond the best watching our two pups while we were away for a week! Our younger dog was instantly at ease with her and became best friends. Cassidy was so patient and caring with our elderly dog too, including her medicine. We got regular updates and Cassidy also took tremendous care of our home while she stayed. Thank you, Cassidy!
Bailey stayed at our home for two weeks caring for our dog Jasper and cat Merlin. She is a loving, caring person and we could not have asked for more. Jasper was crying when she left. She left our house spotless. We look forward to our future travels if Bailey is available.
Abigail took great care of our dog Finch! She came over prior to the sitting for a meet & greet, and followed up prior to the dates to ensure understanding of how to care for him. He can be a handful at times, but with Abigail’s updates I felt completely comfortable that he was being well taken care of and loved on. Would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again for her to watch our fur baby!
Elisa is an incredible sitter! We trust her immensely and the puppies absolutely adore her. She takes them on long walks - even to Starbucks so they can enjoy pup cups. She always leaves the house clean. The pups are barely excited to see us when we return so we know they have been loved!
Anna took good care of our older cat while we were away. Our cat took to Anna quickly and even snuggled with her, which made us feel so relieved knowing he was comfortable. Anna kept up with our cat's five daily meals, including loading an automatic feeder for an overnight meal (our cat eats wet food due to having many teeth extracted). She kept the litter box spotless and even took the time to replenish our hummingbird feeder, which the birds great appreciated. We received daily updates with photos of our happy cat which made us feel at ease. Anna also picked up our packages from the front door for us. We returned to a home as clean as we left it and our cat very relaxed and content, which is a reflection of the care Anna gave him. We would hire Anna again for future trips.
Chelsea is an absolutely amazing caretaker. Above and beyond. I loved knowing my pets were in the best of hands, and her cute photo updates were the cherry on top. What was even better was seeing how happy the animals were to see her again! Waggings tails and smiling faces all around. Thanks so much!
Taegan was an incredible sitter! My dogs loved her, and she treated them like they were her own. She was flexible when my trip got extended, which was so helpful during a stressful trip. Taegan sent me photos of my happy dogs throughout her stay, and it was obvious they were happy and well taken care of. When I returned, the house was immaculate and towels and sheets washed. I hope to use her again!
This was our first experience with pet/house sitting and it exceeded all expectations. Watching the interaction between Seth and Riley Jo (our Silky Terrier) showed what a great bond they had developed. Seth sent us updates and pictures during our 15 day trip and left our home in pristine condition. We highly recommended Seth and the care he gives.
