“Cheryl was awesome. She spent almost two weeks at our house with our two dogs. I was very nervous to leave them, but she put us at ease from the start. She shared pictures and updates daily and our girls always looked happy and content. She even took care of the plants outside. We have already booked her for our next trip.”


“Sarah was fantastic- she was flexible and able to hop in with my pup at the last minute, was super responsive, and did a wonderful and respectful job taking care of my 16 year old dog with special needs. Strongly recommended”


“Chloe did a fantastic job with our cat and dog! She treated our home with so much respect, sent us countless pics and updates, and made us feel relaxed knowing our babies were in good hands. Would definitely have her back!”


“Justin was great! He provided frequent updates and pictures, and even took my dogs to the dog park while I was gone. One of my dogs is blind and he was very attentive to her needs. I'd definitely book with him again!”


“Jared came through for us when a previous Rover sitter bailed less than a week before our scheduled vacation which we had been planning for a year. He came over for a meet and greet within a day or two of contact. The pups really seemed to like him. We booked him and he showed up which was a great relief after being let down several times before from Rover sitters. We left him detailed instructions and our contact info if there were any problems or questions. He sent us a pic of the dogs when he arrived for the first day and was communicative throughout the stay. He took great care of the pups and was very respectful of our home. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a reliable sitter. We will use his services again.”


“Monty provided wonderful care for Jello while I was out of the country. They were super responsive when I checked in and sent photos most days, which I really appreciated. They were also great about adapting to my 15 month old’s puppy energy and zoomies, which is no easy feat. Would absolutely book with Monty again.”


“Sage was very caring and attentive to our two rescue dogs. He sent text and photo updates daily, gave meds and food on a schedule, and gave them lots of love. This was the second time he watched our dogs at our home, and he will be the first dogsitter we contact for future housesits!”


About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!

“Arissa was wonderful to work with! Our pup wasn’t so sure about having us gone initially but Arissa was super patient and kind. They ended up having a great time cuddling and playing. We’d definitely rebook with her!”


“Alexus was fantastic with Stella, very good with communication, and I felt so comfortable knowing someone responsible and enthusiastic was taking care of my sweet girl while I was away. Already booking her again for the next time I’m out of town!”


“Karlin took care of my dog after a bilateral TPLO surgery, only days after the operation. I had a scheduling conflict and had to be away for a few days and she stepped up and took care of my injured dog! She is very loving and kind to the pups and she was very communicative with me as well! So glad we found her!”



“Russell was an amazing dog sitter for our pup when we went away to California. He was very easy to work with, and bonded with our dog right away. My dog seemed relaxed and at home with him, and we have been very happy with all our interactions as a whole. He even sent me a video of one of their walks! I highly recommend him as a responsible dog sitter.”


About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.

“Nikki is amazing! We have a pup that has a lot of anxiety so it’s always nerve racking leaving him with someone new. He warmed up to her almost instantly! She has great communication and left the house nicer than when we left. Highly recommend her!”


“Caitlin was wonderful with my two dogs. She was extremely responsive from the start--even before the stay--and communicated often during the stay with pictures and to give updates. One of my dogs has some allergy issues that require as-needed oral medication, and Caitlin was great about reaching out to update me on my dog's symptoms and then giving him the medicine. My dog also has pretty bad separation anxiety. Caitlin was wonderful with him and my dog even warmed up to her after a day or so--he's usually skittish when I'm gone, so that's really saying something!”


“Emily was the best pet-sitter we have ever had! She was caring, responsible, and had great communication. We received lots of pictures of our fur babies, and she checked in often, putting our minds at ease. We came home to very happy animals and our home was cleaner than how we left it. We will definitely be asking Emily to pet sit again!”


“Veronica was great!! She took such great care of our fur babies over the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent me lots of pictures every day! She is a joy! We will be booking with her again!!”

Da'Miya M.
“Since I have known Miya, she has always been a caring, compassionate, and responsible person. All the times she has watched my cat, she has gone above and beyond to make Shiloh comfortable and happy. She followed my schedule and restrictions perfectly, and Miya being detail-oriented helped me relax while I was away. She would be a great pet sitter for Rover!”

John S.
“John watched my dog and cat while I was gone for 10 days and I didn't have to worry once about them because I know they were in great hands! He sent photos and updates throughout my trip, brought my social dog to coffee shops and parks, and made sure she got enough exercise and had a good time during each day. I absolutely recommend booking with John. This was the longest time I was away from my dog, and I definitely ended up missing her more than she did me because she had such a fun time with him!”
