Jaslyn is amazing! I wish I had found her sooner. She was great with our fur baby. Shared lots of pics of her, let her swim, played ball outside. We will definitely be booking with her again.

Denise is the only one we trust with our boys! She treats them like they are her family. One of our guys is getting older and lately has a lot of different meds on and off and she's been amazing about taking care of his needs. Highly recommend

If you have cats (and I'm sure it applies to dogs), I don't know that you'll find a better pet sitter than Allison. I have had multiple cat sitters over the years and no one comes close. Allison came by beforehand and took nearly an hour just to get to know the cats and their habits, likes, dislikes, routine, etc. Allison was incredibly communicative before, during, and after her visits. She sent lots of pictures and kept me in the loop on what was going on. She is one of the few sitters that has sent me pictures of the cats not just hiding or under the bed. She actually got the cats to come out and sit with her - which is something I don't think a lot of other cat sitters even bother to do. It was wonderful being able to travel without worrying about the cats and knowing they were in good hands. I cannot recommend Allison enough. She's a great choice for pet parents and pets. 20/10 and would urge people to use her not just for their own sanity, but for their cats.

We know Britt gives lots of love and attention to our boy Finn because he is so “normal” and happy when we get home from travels. Not always the case with other folks sitting for him. Britt is awesome and we are happy to have her on Rover!

Sidnee was amazing with my Daisi girl. My cat can take time to warm up to people and Sidnee was patient and not pushy. Daisi warmed up to her in no time. I have found my pet sitter for the future. Thank you so much!

Sarah was the best cat sitter I think I have ever used. She really seemed like she cared about my Kitty, spending extra time with him and he loved it! She even brought a toy that he is obsessed with! It gave me great comfort to know my little guy was in such caring and experienced hands.

Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!

About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays and open on weekends! Feel free to reach out and I can let you know my availability! I have a fully fenced back yard, and a pretty spacious home. I have two dogs, to ensure your peace of mind if I host your loved one in my home, my two fur babies will be on the second floor completely separate.

My schedule currently is wide open Monday through Saturday for sittings, walks, and more! If you leave instructions each thing will be followed to the tee.

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation to your furbabies. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including personal care, drop-ins, in-home sitting, training my own dogs, and raising puppies and litters of cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I currently do not work so I am available any day or time throughout the week and weekend. I have no preference for time of day or time of night. While in a clients home I’ll give your fur baby all the attention in the world but also respect when an animal wants their own space. I’m quick to recognize body language on an animal. I’ll always be checking food and water. Play with them if any toys are available

About: Hi, I'm Bri! I'm a pet lover working from home, which means your pet will have constant company, plenty of potty breaks, and a quiet, peaceful environment. Whether it’s playing in the yard or just napping by my desk while I work, your dog will never feel lonely. Family members always drop off their babies when they go on vacation because they know I’ll be home. I recently said goodbye to my childhood best friend, Scotty, a terrier mix I’ve had for 14 years. Having raised him from the time I was eight through his senior years, I am comfortable with senior care and giving those old stubborn babies the extra attention they need. All pups and kitties love my peaceful calm home. I’m working full time WFH so I can be very attentive and flexible for your pet’s needs. I can take my laptop anywhere and start my day early with a walk before i log on. Through the day I take yoga breaks, perfect for backyard play or a quick potty break. After work, I really don’t do much but wind down for the evening. I live in a clean, quiet apartment so safety is a very big priority for me. I’m extremely detailed oriented and will follow any feeding or medication routines. I offer a calm and quiet space with plenty of places for your baby to nap or play while i work. I will also provide frequent updates for your peace of mind if needed.

About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember. I am a pre-veterinarary student and have been in animal care for 7 years. Since the age of 14 I have been volunteering for humane societies, taking care of peoples pets, and working at animal clinics. Your pets will be spoiled just like mine are. I believe pets are family and they will be treated like they are. My friends and family have always called me when they have needed a dog sitter. Taking care of animals has always been my passion and it’s something I’ll always have time for. I always take out time out of my day to take care of my dog even when I’m tired. They deserve to have fun and be loved. I believe it to be very important for dogs to have playtime , training time, and walk time. Your dog will have all of that. I know how to train dogs so I’ll always try to teach them new tricks. I love dogs and will always want to keep your pet happy and safe.

Ashlyn far exceeded my expectations while caring for my two cats. She was professional, attentive, and extremely reliable. My cats can be standoffish with new people, but they warmed up to her within the first visit. I felt comfortable trusting her with my home and my pets, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I have two now older and high maintenance pets and Shalik was fantastic with them! I came home to healthy, happy pets and no messes! The cat likes to express his displeasure in a variety of ways usually. His coat was like silk, so he had clearly been brushed and our dog was calm and content. Shalik was just wonderful!

Jolinda is the perfect sitter! She accommodated me last minute to watch my kitties, and I was so incredibly grateful. She is very kind and attentive, and even met my kitties at my apartment a week before the scheduled visits to get acquainted with us. Throughout the three days that she visited my kitties, she did her job perfectly, and updated me throughout the entire hour she was there each day, sending adorable pictures of her playing with/loving on the kitties and thorough proof of her feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them fresh water. I was so worried leaving my babies alone for a few days, but couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of them. Jolinda is a genuine and kind woman, and I could not be any happier with her service; not to mention that her sparkling personality was the cherry on top! I'd HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in search of a sitter. Thank you again, Jolinda!
