“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Zana was awesome! Our dogsitter caught Covid a few days before our weeklong vacation, so we really appreciated that Zana was available last-minute, did a meet and greet, and took great care of our senior pup and energetic 3-year old pup. She sent us lots of pictures so we wouldn't miss them so much. We highly recommend and would book Zana again!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs, cats, and everything in-between for as long as I can remember. From pit-bulls to terriers, handicapped chickens to one eyed kittens and animals with at least 8 legs, i’ve seen it all. Apart from caring for my own dogs, cats, and other pets over the years, I did freelance petsitting and dog walking in and around my neighborhood for around seven years, ranging from dog walks while the owner was at work, to late night cat feedings and prescription medication administration, to trying to give a rabbit a bath. I have a high level of experience caring for both puppies/kittens and elderly dogs and cats, having worked to foster puppies and kittens with my local ASPCA for nearly a decade as well as helped raise and train one of my family dogs, and care for my elderly, disabled dog in her later years. I also have background training with the ASPCA regarding animal safety (specifically reactive or defensive dogs) and basic dog and cat body language, crucial aspects of keeping everyone involved healthy and happy! I’m currently a college student home for the summer- my schedule is very open and very flexible, depending on the individual needs of the animal. I can match whatever level of energy your pet needs within the home- whether it be constant cuddles and attention, hours of playtime, or just an omniscient hand filling the food bowl and grabbing the leash! I’m comfortable administering oral or topical medications, able to control and crate dogs if the need arises, and (i’d like to think) i’ve learned some pretty good strategies to stop unwanted barking late at night over the years. I value the mental and physical comfort of the animal i’m caring for first and foremost, whether that means hands on attention or a more quiet, calm approach to time spent with your pet. I’m willing to care for and spend time with shy or reactive dogs as long as they’re within my size range. Having owned both a very senile, timid dog and a very reactive, defensive dog, it’s important to me that they receive the amount of care and attention in the home they deserve :)
“Christine is the best! She takes such wonder care of my two dogs and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving them with her. I highly recommend her services. We already have our next stay with Christine booked!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She was so good with our three dogs and cat. They are a handful and we worry leaving them with new people but Elizabeth put our minds at ease with frequent updates and photos. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than she found it! She really thought of everything to make sure our late arrival home was as smooth as possible. Would 100% recommend Elizabeth!”
“Garrett was so great with my two very high maintenance dogs. I had a crazy busy family wedding out of town and never had to worry about my pups. Garret texted often and I knew they were well cared for. Would absolutely book again!”
“Allison was amazing with our pittie mix rescue who was a stray for 2 years and can be anxious and skittish. She immediately loved Allison (more so than she even loves us, I was joking with my husband) and even went to sleep while Allison was watching her which is unheard of for our dog. Highly recommend, Allison is truly a dog whisperer!”
“An absolute pleasure to work with. Elaina did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and sent us pictures throughout the day. She also left our home very clean. I highly recommend and will use in the future.”
“Shania watched Gizmo for a few days and made sure all of his needs were met and sent me pics of a healthy, happy pup!! She also left my home immaculate. Would absolutely book in the future!”
“Victoria is absolutely amazing! I’ve hired her multiple times and she takes incredible care of my pets. My cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her and even sat on her lap! He doesn’t do that with anyone but me which speaks volumes of how caring Victoria is and how safe he feels around her. She is the best sitter and I highly recommend her!”
“Amanda was so incredible! She was responsive and took the best care of our pups! Amanda was kind and helped take care of the house while we were away by bringing in the mail without asking and also taking the time to ensure things were left better than she found it. THANK YOU, Amanda! It is such a joy to work with you and I cannot recommend her enough! I 100% will book with Amanda again! (:”
“Such a caring and kind dog sitter! I’ve enjoyed her pictures and updates while taking care of my pups! She has been very helpful in my situations where I needed someone to look after my dogs! 10 out of 10 will book again!”
About: What makes me different is the calm, personalized care I give every dog. I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy—whether that’s a slow walk, a cozy spot to nap, or a little extra playtime. I’m also comfortable giving medications and following special routines if needed. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always keep you updated, so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I’m currently between jobs so I’m available whenever. I do photography on the side at some different race tracks. When I’m not doing photography I’m in my back yard playing with my three dogs or I’m in the house with the cats. I have a fenced in yard that I let my dogs run and play in. I take my puppy for long walks to burn our energy out before taking him to Starbucks to get a pup cup and go back home for a nap.
“Robyn is an extremely thoughtful and considerate pet sitter. She follows instructions completely and is very accommodating. I highly recommend Robyn and will call upon her services in the future. My fur babies were well cared for and happy & healthy upon my return.”
“Tifawni took excellent care of our brood (2 dogs and 2 cats) and was professional and reliable. She was a life saver after our original pet sitter fell through quite last minute. She loved on our pets, was amazing with our anxious dog, and left our house spotless. Book her, she’s incredible!”
“Alyson was great and available at the last minute for us for a weekend trip. She was very communicative and Nora had a grand time going to the dog park and was well looked after. Would gladly book her again!”
“Corey was an amazing sitter for my dog mylo! I had to leave for a trip with short notice, Corey met me and mylo and was very flexible, great communication and took great care of my place. I had no worries or issues leaving my dog with him. I will definitely be using Corey again and recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter! I will be back to book him!”

Carrie C.
“Carrie regularly watched our two large rescue dogs when we went out of town and we (us and our pups!) were so sad when she moved away. She was careful to take detailed instructions about their habits and needs and asked about things that we had forgotten to mention. She communicated with us well when we were away to share how our dogs were doing. Carrie is a loving and thoughtful pet caregiver and a natural at handling dogs. I would trust her with any pet. We love Carrie and miss her so much!”

Imani was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time using Rover and Imani was helpful every step of the way. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior and then she stayed with our dog for a week while we were away. Plenty of updates and photos helped us feel super comfortable being away from home. I would absolutely recommend Imani and would gladly book her again next time!
We are so thankful we found Talayia to watch our two dogs and cat for overnight stays! She really came through for us at the last minute when we were in a tough spot of our last sitter cancelling. She communicated with us daily and sent us picture updates which put us at ease for the two weeks we were gone. She also kept our plants alive and our house was kept clean. Thank you so much for everything!!
Corey was an amazing sitter for my dog mylo! I had to leave for a trip with short notice, Corey met me and mylo and was very flexible, great communication and took great care of my place. I had no worries or issues leaving my dog with him. I will definitely be using Corey again and recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter! I will be back to book him!
Leah and Shawn are the sweetest people- they were nice enough to do a meet and greet with my Rottie and I the day before I requested them to watch her for the day and were friendly, professional and on time. The day of, Leah sent me updates with pics throughout the day, which really helped me focus at work. I had been working remotely for over 4 years, and my Rottweiler Zara, who already suffers from diagnosed separation and general anxiety, was having a hard time without me home. Leah's sweet and calming demeanor really put Zara at ease, and they were able to hang out for several hours together without incident. She even went out of the house with her, even just for a 5 minute walk, which she typically never does without me or my husband due to her anxiety and depression when I'm not with her. I'm excited to see Zara bloom in her care as we continue to use Leah's services!
Sorji did an amazing job taking care of our German Shepherd while we were away! They were professional, reliable, and clearly have a natural way with animals. Our pup was happy, well-exercised, and calm when we returned, which speaks volumes about the care and attention they provided. They also kept the house spotless and even went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order. Highly recommend Sorji for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter/walker.
Josue was amazing with our Malamute during a 2 week trip! Malamutes can be a difficult breed but our pup took to Josue immediately. Josue took great care of our dog and house while we were gone, and we will happily work with him again for any future travel!
