“Absolutely amazing. My dogs love her. Will most definitely be using her services again ☺”


About: I’ve grown up caring for fur babies of all sizes my entire life. I’ve been trusted watching friends and family pets since I was at least 15. From long weekends to multiple weeks, your baby becomes my top priority! I am working part-time, so I am flexible mornings to evening any day of the week. I’ll work around the pets necessities and giving them plenty of love and care. I’ll follow specific instructions left by pet owners. From playing with them building connections, to long walks, I make sure I’m always paying attention to their body language confirming comfort in their safe space.

“Kyra was awesome with Brodie. She followed the instructions I left to a tee. I highly recommend her. Can't wait to have your sit with Brodie again.”


“Thank you for taking care of my Frenchie, Lucy! You made it possible for me to travel for two weeks for work at the last minute. The pics and videos you sent helped. Realtime calls would have been better. There are many ways to do that even if the Rover app doesn’t support that functionality. Thanks again!”


“Ariel was absolutely wonderful. She is responsible and asks the correct questions regarding our fur babies. Great communication before and when we were away. She sends updates and photos. Definitely will reach out to Ariel again and again. Thank you Ariel!”


“Anabelle was amazing. When Biscuit met her during the meet and greet, he absolutely adored her. During her stay she kept me updated on biscuit with texts and photos. She even did some grooming for him. She took him on walks and even got him to run. I haven’t been able to get him to run in quite some time. Biscuit also does not eat and has severe separation anxiety when I’m gone. He ate and didn’t seem to have any issues while I was away for the week. I will definitely be using her again.”


“We appreciate having you watch our animals! They are always happy and content when we get home because they are able to stay in our home and are well cared for!”


“We love Erin, and so does our Yorkie, Matcha. This was the first time we were able to leave her and feel completely at peace that she was in good hands. Matcha bonded with her right away when Erin came by to meet her. They played together, took walks and kept us updated with pictures. We hope she is available the next time we need care for Matcha. She's our first pick!”


“Janel took excellent care of our two kitties and a sassy Sheltie. The all warmed up to her in no time. I highly recommend her and look forward to her coming back in October. She kept us informed and shared adorable pictures with us.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently care for five dogs and a cat of my own. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, and those with special needs. I’m experienced in giving medications, reading body language, and helping nervous or shy dogs feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just quiet companionship, I give every pet the same patience, care, and love I give my own. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to offer drop-in visits and walks throughout the day, perfect for busy work schedules or midday breaks. I’m also available for weekend house sitting, so your pet can stay comfortable and cared for in their own home while you’re away. My flexible hours mean I can be there when your pet needs me most. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether I’m visiting your home or walking around the block. I follow your routine, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. You’ll get updates so you know they’re in good hands.

“Maggie and Willow are wonderful. Maggie stayed at my house for almost two weeks on a last minute booking. She sent updates daily and gave me peace of mind while I was gone. Would definitely book with her again!”


About: I’m a dedicated and detail-oriented pet sitter who treats every pet with the same love and care as my own. I meticulously follow owner instructions to ensure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their routine. With years of experience caring for my family dog and several neighborhood pets, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and attention to detail. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, walking pets, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m committed to providing the best care possible. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority! I am also decently athletic and happy to accommodate high-energy breeds who need extra movement. I am a full-time college student, but I am free before 11am and after 4pm on Monday and Wednesday. I am also available before 1pm and after 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As for Fridays, I am free before 11am and after 2pm. I am available before 10am on weekends and after 6pm. I am willing to rearrange extracurriculars to sit. I pay attention to the cleanliness and comfort of the pet the most. I am comfortable around all sizes of pets, and remain calm under pressure.

“Carrie took amazing care of our tiny pack. She sent the greatest pictures. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”


“Kailyn watched our dog in our home for a long weekend and was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures. She took good care of our home while we were away. We felt completely comfortable with her and plan to have her watch our pup in the future!”


About: Hi! My name is Riley and I have had dogs in my family all my life. I grew up helping my parents care for our dogs in the puppy stage all the way through the senior stage. I adopted my own dog five years ago - her name is Poppy and she is my best friend! I am very comfortable will all energy levels, ages, sizes, and breeds. I would love to give your dog the best care, as I would want the very best for my baby as well. :) I have few obligations at the moment, so I can be very flexible with what time and day your pet needs cared for. I am available to do early mornings and late evenings as needed. I am available for housesitting, walks, and drop-ins. I am unable to do boarding at my home at this time. I can house sit for as long as needed but will need to leave for a few hours each day to care for my own puppy!

“If I could give Bella 10 stars I would. She was absolutely fantastic! She stayed at our house and watched our 2 dogs (1 who requires daily medicine and extra care) and 4 cats while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates, and even went above and beyond to let me know anything extra she noticed during her stay. We will definitely be booking her again!”


“Katie was very polite and thoughtful along the way caring for our dog June! We would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for dog home sitting care.”


“McKenna took care of my dog Gravy really well while I was gone for the business trip. She came on time to my place for the early morning before I left to go to the airport. She sent me the many pictures of Gravy with all of the updates so I felt relieved to know that he’s in the good hands! He usually gets anxious and used to have a separation anxiety but he did great with McKenna’s care! She really took care of him like her own dog 😊 My place was left clean after she left! I will definitely request for her for Gravy’s care in the future as well! Thank you so much 🙏”


“Brittany did a wonderful job staying the weekend with our girls. She was in communication with us as needed and spent plenty of time making sure their needs were cared for. She also took care of our home and was an incredible guest.”


“Rebecca did a wonderful job with our one year old German Shepherd. She was professional, thorough and very responsive to me when I would check in. I appreciated her staying with our boy and will definitely reach out to her again!”
