1. Mark C.

“My dog loves Mark! He is great - very responsive and responsible! Sends me updates and photos and my dog seems to be very happy when Mark stays with him.”


2. Benjamin S.

“These guys were fantastic. Great communication and they took great care of our puppy. Thanks again!”


3. Elijah H.

“Elijah was polite and friendly to us and our reactive rescued pocket bully. He was willing and able to handle her complex feeding instructions, walking peccadillos, and anxieties about people and dogs. Farah looked more relaxed with him in photos he sent than she did with her last pet sitter. Elijah also offered to do any light housekeeping chores we needed, wiped down counters before he left, and even did his own laundry and made up the bed again. Highly recommend!”


4. Trinity R.

“Trinity was awesome, and my very particular dog felt at ease with her all day. I was so appreciative of her patience and attention to detail!”


5. Tyler W.

“We have used Tyler several times and are so grateful we’ve found her! We always arrive back home to a happy pooch, spotless house and all taken care of so beautifully. We can start dreaming of our next adventure knowing that when we go away our animal family will be well loved 🐾”


6. Carolyn D.

“Carolyn did an excellent job taking care of our dog, cats, chicken and house while we were away. One cat had some medical issues and Carolyn had no problem giving meds and making sure he was eating enough. We hope to use her in the future.”


7. Maisy P.

“Maisy took great care of our older pup. She kept us updated about how things were going and sent pictures. We would book with her again without question!”


8. Parker S.

“We couldn't have dreamt of a better house/pet sitter than Parker. He did such a great job with our 3 dogs/3 cats, and we returned to a clean, tidy house. He was communicative, helpful, and just a pleasure. 12/10 recommend!!”


9. Kasey B.

“Amazing! I am recommending to people who want their dogs well taken care of. Photos are wonderful when away from your pet and Kasey ensures you get regular updates if you like. I came home to them not realizing I was away.”


10. Shailyn B.

“FANTASTIC!!! We were gone a week, and when I returned I saw that Shay left the house in good order with zero surprises. GREAT experience!! I will ABSOLUTELY hire her again and HIGHLY recommend her. I am fairly overprotective of my 16 year old Dachshund, Lena, and Shay really got that. She sent me daily updates (with a pic!) that were sooo nice! It let me relax and know that Lena was well looked after. :-)”


11. Joyce L.

“Lovely to work with! She took great care of our cat while we were on vacation for a week. She played with her a lot and was really attentive to the instructions we had left around feeding and other things. She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures. She also left our house super clean and was overall very considerate.”


12. Kathryn M.
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets since I was 10! It is so fun to help care for animals while I am in school. Will be at work during most days but able to take care before/after! Will also have more free time in the upcoming months while studying for tests. Schedule will be notably more flexible then. I typically prefer to care for animals in their own home! I love to keep as similar as a routine as possible to their normal experience.


13. Anesa L.

“Anesa did such a great job. Our puppies are rescues and be apprehensive at first. She did a great job at letting them warm up to her. Much appreciated!”


14. Sue C.

“Sue was a great dogsitter! She took our dog on car rides (which she loves!) and sent an update and picture every day. We would absolutely recommend booking with her!”


15. Hilda N.

“Hilda stayed at our house and watched our dog and cat. She was wonderfully professional and as a bonus a wonderful house sitter as we came home to a cleaner house than we left it! I would not hesitate to hire her again.”


16. Mike G.
“Mike is awesome and super dependable. As a fellow Rover sitter I have high expectations and finding someone I can trust to watch my large dog while I’m away is a huge relief. Will definitely continue using him in the future. Thanks Mike!”

19. Valerie L.
About: Pets have been apart of my life. From growing up with our family pets to being a dog mom and aunt in my adult life. I find that each animal holds their own personality and once that is recognized a strong relationship can be built. I am prepared to provide any services from potty breaks to walks and even the occasional overnight. Please feel free to contact me for more information. I currently work full time. Please check with me about specific times and days. I am open to long and short term contracts. At this time, I am unable to host in my home. I am available to sit in your home. If this is our first time meeting, please request far enough in advance so that we could have a meet and greet. I provide any services needed in and around your home. I own a vehicle that can transport your pet to a near park or their favorite walking trail.

“Bob was an excellent choice for doggie care while we were away. We have two dogs. He was diligent with everything we asked of him and texted us with any questions. Bob will be our first choice for any future doggie care needs.”
