“My dogs, especially the standoffish one, of my 3, loved Ian upon meeting him. He is very patient and gentle. He is so considerate and attentive. I cant praise him enough! We are actually stuck where we traveled to, and were able to book him last minute for a few more days. We will be tipping him accordingly upon our retun thanks to his last minute flexibility. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every pet like my own! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all personalities, shy snugglers, goofy adventurers, and everything in between. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or relaxing with belly rubs, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make their day a little brighter! I’m a full-time third grade teacher, so I’m available for late afternoon and evening care. I’m typically free after 4 PM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, with occasional availability on Mondays and Wednesdays depending on school events. I’m pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out even if you need help outside my listed hours! I know every pet parent wants the very best for their furry friend, so I’m committed to following all instructions you provide. I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs and can help with medications, raw feeding, crating, prong or e-collar use, and any other specific needs your pet may have. My sister is a dog trainer and emergency vet tech, so if anything unexpected comes up, I have expert guidance just a call away.

“Alex did a great job house and pet sitting for us this week. He even stayed longer on the last day when our flight home was delayed. We got daily reports and pictures of our pets and would use him again for future trips. Thank you Alex!”

“Leah did an amazing job with our girl Athena! She house sat for us over Thanksgiving break for 3 nights and I can tell from the photos we received that Athena was very comfortable and happy around Leah. We will definitely book with Leah again!”

“Our first time with Zach and hopefully not our last. He was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our older dog who needs some extra care and patience. Zach sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. He followed Kona’s schedule to a T and even came back for an extra walk last minute the next day.”

“Took good care of my baby girl and was very patient with her. Andrea sent picture and video updates through out the stay which was greatly appreciated.”

“We were very happy with Samantha's overnight stay. Our dogs haven't accepted being alone very well since we were home so much with Covid. They really liked Samantha and they were relaxed and happy when we returned. Samantha took the time to do a long meet and greet and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again if she's available!”

“Katie was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our two dogs. They were well cared for and loved while we were away. That was very evident when we came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. It was very clear that Katie spent a great deal of time with them. Such a plus! We really appreciated the updates/photos, and she was so kind to answer all my questions. This was the first time we used Rover. We were very apprehensive and had some trepidation prior to leaving. However, Katie far exceeded my expectations. We’s absolutely have Katie (if she would agree) watch our dogs again. Thank you, Katie! 🐶”

“David, was so great. He sent me regular updates on the girls and stayed with them throughout the day and night as I requested. He is by far the best petsitter on this site. Can't thank you enough David.”

“Nia did such a great job taking care of my pup that she (my doggo) didn’t even look like she missed me when I got back!! She updated me every day with photos, and it could show the dedicated time she put into looking after her. Coming home to a happy puppy and a clean home is the biggest stress reliever - definitely grateful.”

“Korin is awesome! Was very quick to respond to my booking request and she’s very friendly. My pups loved her, and so did the cat. I got updates and photos throughout the sitting and she was flexible when my plans ran a little late. Thanks for such an awesome experience!”
