“Kanade went above and beyond- Riley got so much fetch and cuddles in. She keeps you consistently updated with photos and summaries of the day.”
“Megan is amazing! I got lots of updates and pictures throughout Bella’s stay with her. But mostly, she was so patient and understanding with my weather related delays in picking her up. I was very fortunate that Megan communicated so well because I was able to keep her updated, and Bella was in great hands while I was away.”
“Our dog Pinta loved staying with Eric and his wife. They were super communicative with us and took her on lots of walks even in the snow and very cold temperatures. It was clear that our pup received a lot of love! We will definitely reach out to them again when we need a sitter.”
“Virginia was so sweet and took great care of Bogey! He can be nervous, and she went out of her way from the start to put him at ease. She took him for runs, played fetch in the backyard, and even let him sleep on the bed. I’m surprised he even wanted to come home after his stay. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Jules and Peter are the absolute best! Our dog Archie loves being with them and going on many nice dog walks with them. We are so grateful and fortunate to have Peter and Jules!”
“Jacob kept in great contact and sent fun photos while I was away. He also gave my pup plenty of exercise. Super nice guy. Easy to get a hold of. Would recommend Jacob for sure.”
“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“Our dog Clover had a great time with Alexis! She was super attentive and sent us update photos and videos throughout Clover’s stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Amy was amazing with my dog, Roxy!! I highly recommend using her. Roxy is an older mini goldendoodle and Amy was so accommodating and sweet with her. I got daily updates with photos. I felt so comfortable and Amy made the process super smooth. I booked her last minute and so glad I did. I highly recommend and would use her again!”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“I can't say enough nice things about Renee! This was my first time leaving Billie with a sitter and she made it such an awesome experience. She asked great questions to get to know Billie's needs and preferences and sent cute updates, even! What a huge difference from a kennel. Billie would be stressed and upset and wanted to be held when I would take her there, but when I picked up Billie from Renee's she seemed really happy!! Renee is a lovely person and a great sitter!”
“Rhea and her husband were absolutely incredible! They were so accommodating and communicative throughout the entire sitting. They sent constant picture updates, kept me informed about potty breaks, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure my pup was comfortable. Most impressively, they always responded in under a minute—such peace of mind. This was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had on Rover, and I’m so glad we connected. They’re true professionals who are clearly passionate about what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable care.”
“Kristina was awesome! She sent daily updates and pictures which I really appreciated, took Mika on daily walks, and really made me feel like she gave her special attention and care! We look forward to using Kristina in the future!”
“I always feel so good when my dog Tofu stays eith Christopher. He is always so careful with her and makes sure she is always getting attention. I definitely think Tofu misses him when she gets home!!”
“Derek was fantastic. Super communicative and it was clear that he truly loved spending time with our pup. That means the world to us. We will definitely book him again!!”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
About: Dog and cat CPR certified. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors dogs. Each dog has their own personality and needs, so I will match my sessions with them accordingly. Currently in school. I have plenty of time during the day to spend with your fur babies. Your time is valuable, so I will be punctual to each walking session. I will not be taking care of any pets at my home at this time. However, I do have 2 beautiful fur babies (pictures above).

Absolutely WONDERFUL! Barthalomew was very communicative before, during and after the sitting. My dog was super happy the entire time! And so was I! I got photos of her resting, playing and overall just having a lovely time. She came back super happy and healthy! And he even washed the reusable peepee pad I left with him! So kind! I also live close by so he offered to pick her up and drop her off! Such amazing service. I will only take my little pup to Barthalomew from now on! THANK YOU!!!
Min is amazing , she took care of our 11 year old dog Coco for 2 nights . Communicating with us several times a day , sharing photos and updates of the Coco’s eating and drinking. She took Coco for a walk every day . Very caring and responsible. I would definitely suggest her and will rebook anytime i need a great sitter .
Such a great experience with Christine (& Dan) who watched our pup for a weekend! Incredibly responsive and clear with communication, sent photos throughout the stay, and most importantly our dog came back seeming as happy as ever. Very grateful and would highly recommend!
Anna is probably the best dog sitter we have ever had! Even before meeting her I could just tell she had such a passion for fur babies ! Before our trip she came to our place to meet our pups, and there was no doubt that she was a nurturing and loving person all around. She has a great knowledge of dogs that need specific care. We have a mini dachshund, and she was fully aware of the specific needs to keep them safe and healthy. While we were away, she sent us tons of pictures and updates that we requested, and put our minds at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. It didn’t seem like our pup wanted to leave when we came back! I would recommend her to anybody over and over again because we will definitely be using her again! Thanks again, Anna, you are truly a special person!
Danielle was great with my reactive senior dog while I was out of town. This was my first time leaving him for an extended period of time, but I felt comfortable that he was in good hands. She sent daily updates and paid close attention to his care instructions, which included daily medications. I would definitely rebook with her for future trips.
Hazel had a wonderful time with Emily! After our original sitter had to cancel, Emily stepped in and made sure that Hazel was comfortable and cared for. Emily kept us in the loop with pictures and videos and gave us peace of mind that Hazel was having a great time. Pick up and drop off was seamless and Hazel settled right in. We are so happy to have found Emily just in the nick of time and look forward to working with her again!
