“This was my first time using Rover and my first time using Ann for my two 7-year-old kitties. Ann did an exceptional job. She showed up when she was supposed to and was very thorough and timely with her communication from beginning to end. I will use Ann again for sure! Thanks, Ann!!”



“Such a kind person and an animal lover to the core. Shinji loved having Maria over! She also gave love to our cat even though he didn't need to be taken care of. I can't recommend her enough, she clearly knows what she is doing and loves the animals that she sits. Will definitely keep in touch if we go travel again. Thank you so much!”


“Cassie has been such a wonderful caretaker for our cats. She spends quality time with the cats and ensures everything is clean and in order. Cassie goes above and beyond, was very flexible, and was such a big help. The cats absolutely adored her and seemed to really enjoy her company.”


“Rebecka is the best with my little one. She is very knowledgeable about puppies and gives very good, detailed feedback. I wouldn't hesitate to book her! She is very accommodating with her schedule as well!”



“Jessica was absolutely amazing in caring for our 2 year old Chocolate Lab while we went away for a night. It is very clear that she cares so much for our animals. She even brought in our packages from outside. Highly highly recommend!!”


“Caitlin did an amazing job taking care of my Bubba! She took diligent notes during our meeting, asked great questions to make sure she knew exactly what he needed, and took excellent care of him! Caitlin is quick to respond to messages, followed instructions to a T, and was perfectly on time every time. She sent detailed notes from her visits and I loved the pictures she took for the visit updates! She was patient with him as he’s older and takes a little longer when out for a walk. She stayed with him to make sure he ate his dinner and got settled back in. I can’t say enough good things about Caitlin and will definitely use her in the future for any pet sitting needs we have. Thank you Caitlin!!”



“I’m very happy that animal lovers like Eko and Sarah get to experience the joy that we often do with our dogs. Work requires a long commute for both my husband and I, and we worry about their need for potty breaks and being able to enjoy the day. I cannot express how truly grateful I am for their help in ensuring the well being of our dogs, our peace of mind, and the very modest rate they’re requesting to do so. While very relaxed in our request for help, Eko and Sarah were taking notes (literally) on what we hoped to achieve on their drop-ins, even exceeding requested times to ensure the welfare of our dogs. I thank them for this peace of mind, and I look forward to all the photos of future adventures they experience! (As my husband and I continue to work and “make that puppy food!”).”


“Erica was great to work with! It was so nice to know our fur babies were being cared for while we were out of town allowing us to relax and enjoy our vacation! The picture updates were comforting. Looking forward to booking Erica again!”


“Ruben was great!! He was on time, very nice, and took good care of my two dogs. This was my first time having a stranger walk my dog who is very reactive and I felt comfortable after meeting Ruben that he was very knowledgeable and could handle it. I would definitely book with him again!”


“Sidnhy was very dependable and communicative, I had to schedule a sitter last minute and she worked with me to make sure Cleo was well taken care of. Cleo is a skittish and shy cat but she warmed up to Sidnhy right away, and Sidnhy sent me photo updates as I requested. Great experience with this sitter, will definitely contact her again for any future needs!”


About: Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. With a lifelong passion for animals, I enjoy nurturing dogs and caring for their needs. My experience includes senior dogs and behavior observation to ensure your dog feels safe. I am eager to provide a comfortable and caring home for your beloved pup! 🐾 I work from home on the weekdays, so I’m able to remain attentive for your doggo throughout the day. If your dog sticks to a routine just let me know and I will be happy to make them feel at home. I live in a large multi room apartment with a grassy (unfenced) back yard. There are no other pets in the home so my attention will be focused on your fur baby. My situation is good for dogs who prefer a relaxed environment. There is a one floor walk up leading to my home, so I just ask that your dog is comfortable with stairs (or small enough to be carried).

“So appreciative of the last minute help and so glad that our pup is so comfortable with them, she takes some warming up but they are easily becoming her favorite. Highly recommend and will absolutely use again and again!”


“Alison was incredible! I knew from when she first met Nigiri that he would be in great hands. She was super timely, flexible with his feeding schedule, and always cuddled with him. I could easily tell from all the photos that he adored her right away. I hope there will be a time where Alison and Nigiri can hang out again soon!”

“Kayla took care of our cat CeCe while we were away. She followed all instructions and was able to send us a picture of our shy cat. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”



About: Ever since I was young I have grown up around dogs big and small, so naturally my love for animals has grown well into my adult years.

Lauren H.
“Lauren took care of Rita while I was away on a weekend trip. Rita is my senior Chihuahua with diabetes and Cushing's disease, requiring extra medication and closer attention than a typical senior dog. Because of this, I’m very selective about who I trust to watch her. Lauren went above and beyond to meet Rita’s needs. She was timely in administering Rita’s medication, gave her plenty of affection, and took her on many walks. I also received frequent pictures and updates throughout my trip, giving me peace of mind that Rita was in great hands. I fully trust Lauren to watch Rita again and highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs.”
