“He didn't just come over to the house to watch my pets, he actually took care of my home in my absence. I came back to a tidier house than when I left and I was highly impressed by how my puppy seemed a bit more trained and aware than she did before I left her under his care. I can tell he spent a lot of personalized attention on her. Even my large dog seemed to love him, and he doesn't even take well to males. I highly suggest Jerome. He is very trustworthy and spends care on the details. Thank you so much.”
“Nabilah is our #1 sitter! She is wonderful with our little girl Cassidy she communicates excellent follows Cassidy’s instructions to the utmost!!! Cassidy seems so happy when Nabilah is here!!!”
“Five stars!! I hired Chelsea to watch my 2 dogs in my own home on a Saturday. She had great communication leading up to and during her visit. She sent plenty of pictures and videos to assure me that my babies were safe and happy while I was gone. I could tell my dogs both loved her! I will DEFINITELY use Chelsea again!”
“She’s amazing. From the meet and greets we had I knew she would be the one because of her caring attitude towards Chloe and the questions she asked us. Whilst we were away she bonded with Chloe which was awesome and she was reluctant to leave Chloe on her own for more than hour, which was her choice. She had great communication and updated us with texts and pics of Chloe throughout the day for the duration of her stay. She left our house in tip top shape exactly as she had found it which was an added bonus. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
“This was my first time using rover and Kimberly did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs. She took the time to come over and meet them before hand to make sure it would be a good fit. During the time I was away Kimberly sent me pictures and kept me updated to make sure my dogs were doing good, which kept me and my husband at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend Kimberly to anyone in need of dog watching!”
About: I have cared for Animals since I was 10 years old! I have cared for household pets (dogs, cats, birds), farm animals (horses, cows, chickens, goats) and exotics (reptiles, ferrets, etc). I am a former ASPCA Animal Care Technician and have experience with serving as an Assistant Veterinary Technician as well. I work from home all day and occasionally have to go in for 4-5 hours a couple evenings a week but aside from that I am available to be present for your animal on a consistent basis! My pets are always in sight of me when I am home, so I like to make sure I can always keep an eye on them in the event of an emergency.

Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies! When I’m not playing with animals I’m at home working on music and art.

Where I live is very safe and walking friendly as well as I have no problem finding an awesome walking spot ! I work from home and live near a dog park!

“Lori is a trustworthy and highly reliable dog sitter. I would definitely recommend her. She’s so good with dogs, both big and small! She loves & cares for the dogs as if they’re her own. We look forward to booking her again.”
Claudia D.
“Claudia was my go-to sitter for our labradoodle for years. Whether she sat for a day, a week or longer, Claudia loved our Edie as much as we did (sadly, Edie recently died at 15 years old). Claudia cooked special meals regularly, not just for our dog, but for her dog as well. Dog food was just got good enough for her Ozzy! Claudia seemed to know just what our Edie needed- when she wanted to be walked, hugged, fed and yes, even disciplined! Claudia is a dog whisperer. There is no doubt in my mind. She will love and care for you pets as well or better than you do yourself! And she is honest and trustworthy. Our home was cleaner when we got home than when we left and nothing was out of place or missing. I strongly, wholeheartedly and without reservation, highly recommend Claudia for all and any of your pet sitting needs.”
