“Louie had a great time with Heather! She was very respectful of our home and did a great job with our puppy. I am sure we will be using her again in the future!”
“Chris was the absolute best! Our babies loved him. He took great care of them and left our place clean and tidy the way we had it. We will definitely rebook with him in the future! We can’t thank him enough!”
“Makeda took great care of our 4 aging pups during our weekend away. It was such a weight off to know they were in such good hands - she kept us up to date with all their fun antics and concerns which was much appreciated. Thanks, Makeda!”
“We had a couple dates we needed to be without the dog while visiting in Madras. I was nervous about leaving Wren out of town with someone we had not met yet. Nishell was super helpful and comunicative with me about dates and times that changed a couple times. She was very accomodating! Sweetest girl ever and Wren did really well with her even being a stranger! I hope she will be available when we come back on our next trip. She walked him fed him did everything she could think of to make him feel at home. We are so appreciative! If you live in Madras you should use her!”
“Ali has been dog/house-sitting for us for the better part of the last year and she’s been absolutely amazing. Our three pups absolutely love her, maybe even more than they love us! She’s always consistent and respectful of our space. The ultimate test of her skills was when our youngest had her puppies five days early while we were away. Ali was a true hero in that moment and cleared her schedule to be with mama and the babies until we could get home. She’s got our love and our trust!”
“Caleb was a great pet and house sitter! He was a good communicator with updates and sent us very cute, professional-quality photos of our pets! We would absolutely use Caleb’s services again in the future.”
“Rachael was incredible! This was my first time using Rover for house sitting and Rachael made me feel really comfortable from the start. She kept me updated and spent more than enough time with my babies. My dogs loved her! Will definitely be using again :)”
About: I grew up with 5 dogs, 3 labs and 2 shitzu mixes. Their energy, love and playfulness brightened all my days. I will forever miss them. My love for dogs led me to volunteer with Wags and Walks and to babysit my dog niece Phoebe. Is it a good walk if you don’t stop to pet every dog you meet? I am a career IT. I started out as an IT in the Navy, after I got sick and was discharged I decided to pivot to work doing things I love and that fulfill me. I started out volunteering, pet/house sitting for friends and realized this is what I would like to do full time until I can transition into culinary school. I have nothing but love for all animals, tenderness for their people and a passion to make their time on Earth the absolute best! While I cannot host your animals, I pride myself on being able to anticipate animals needs! No ask is too complex to me because every animal’s needs are important and deserve to be tailored.
About: I take time to understand each pet’s routine, quirks, and needs to make them feel safe and happy. I’m reliable, communicative, and always show up when I say I will. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s going for walks, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort. I plan my day around their needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for—it’s not just a job, it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where animals can feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and environment, keeping everything as close to normal as possible. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care—always making sure they feel secure and well looked after.
“Madalina was an angel! I have very high expectations for anyone caring for my dogs, and she exceeded all of them. We were gone for over a week, and she took the time to send photos, updates, and videos multiple times a day. She totally got my dogs’ personalities and it is evident she truly loves animals and cares for them as if they were her own. Mine both had tummy troubles and she handled it like a total pro. My house was sparkling clean when we got back and it was such a relief to come home to a beautifully cared for home and very happy dogs. I’ve never had a dog sitter who spent so much time interacting with my dogs, playing, brushing, and loving on them. I feel so lucky to have found her! Thank you Madalina!”
“Casey was wonderful! Very kind and communicative. We booked her pretty last minute to dog sit for a weekend away & she quickly made a meet & greet a priority. Not only did she take great care of our pup & provide updates, she left our home spotless. We would love to book her again in the future.”
“Chantel is the best of the best. I am so grateful for the above and beyond love and care she showed my cat Pablo! He was in the best hands during my trip. She is dependable, communicative, and my baby loves her!”
“Carly is absolutely the best!! Our sweet howdy loved her immediately and we knew it was a good fit! Carly provided updates and photos which always makes us feel better! It makes us so happy knowing we have someone we can trust ❤️”

Remington P.
“Remington has been one of the best pet sitters we have ever found and will always be using her if she’s available! Our 2 dogs were absolutely obsessed with Remington when we came home and probably could have cared less if we came back or not. The best feeling honestly, knowing our fur babies were in great hands. Not only did Remington care for our pets but she was totally willing to keep with my watering schedule for my indoor and outdoor plants. Our home was treated with respect and was neat and tidy when we got back. You cannot go wrong using Remington as your pet sitter. You and your pets will all agree!”
