“ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Phyllis is so sweet and I’m pretty sure she spoiled me as much as my boy!! She sent me so many pics and updates with added bonuses that made my vacation that much more enjoyable knowing he was in great hands!! She took great care of our home as well. I will book her again and again!!”
“Mallory was wonderful watching our dogs at our house for the weekend. She handled our two (sometimes troublesome) pups very well and with no complaints, even when one got a little sick. She was communicative throughout the entire process and shared lots of pictures and updates during her stay to make us feel more comfortable and show us they were happy and well loved. She took excellent care of our house as well. Thank you!”
“Highly recommend Hollie!!! She took great care of our little old man! He can be aggressive on walks and has to wear a muzzle, and she walked him without issue and kept us updated on how it went. He was happy healthy and relaxed when we got home. Hollie was very responsive to any messages and our house was in great shape when we got back. Will definitely hire her again!”
“I had never used Rover before Emily took care of Beaumont. I will definitely use the service again because of my great experience with her. She kept me updated and sent adorable photos of Beau!”
“Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend”
“Amanda is great, helped us out with a last minute out of town pet sit. She is responsive to texts, sent lots of pictures of the pups and made our trip so much less stressful knowing they were so well taken care of! Will definitely have Amanda watch our pups again!”
“Erica did an excellent job caring for my "girls" while I was away for a week. She sent text and photo updates regularly making my time away stress free. I came home to very happy pups, mail brought in and a clean house. I highly recommend Erica and will without hesitation use her again.”
“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”
“Victor was a great companion to Onion - they took to each other right away. Victor was respectful of my place and left it in great condition. Victor is now on my list of pet sitters for the future.”
About: My family has had dogs since I was born, and I got my own 9 years ago when he was a puppy. I’ve raised him on my own, cared for my parents’ dogs when they’re out of town, and looked after my friends’ pets. I currently have a very flexible work schedule and can accommodate most days and times for pet care as needed. Comfortable walking dogs in any time of day and any season! I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and am comfortable with any breed or size. I’ve had senior dogs before, and raised my own dog since he was a puppy, so I’m comfortable with any age range too!
“Looking for someone who is kind, thoughtful, and who will truly love on your pups while you’re away, Camryn is a great choice! We came home to three very happy pups and from the pictures we saw of their weekend together, have no doubts that they loved her company. Thank you so much!”
About: I have taken care of neighbor, friends and families dogs for the past 4 years. I’m experienced in staying over, feeding your pets, playing and giving pets care over long weekends or for a short check up. I have worked with pets who have needed medicines at allotted times ie. at breakfast or dinner times. I also have experience with using an e-collar. I love to make your pet feel as comfortable as if you had never left! Currently I have a part time job and am a college student but with I have a lot flexibility, I am able to work around my schedule so it can work out for the both of us. I am able to take your dogs on walks or to the dog park. I also am able to crate them after we have returned from activities.
“If I could, I would give Bruce a 10+ overall. He was prompt on arrival, very knowledgeable, very organized and super great with handling my large dog who can be reactive around new people and other dogs. He was comfortable spending the night in my place so Grizzly wouldn’t be alone. Bruce sent daily photos and gave me regular updates on how Grizzly was doing, he even took him for car rides, Grizzlies favorite thing to do! I came home to a very clean home, I knew when he asked me if Grizzly was scared of a vacuum, I had picked a winner!”
“Cindy was wonderful. She took excellent care of our senior cats while we were away for the holidays. Kind, thorough, and very communicative, we knew she was taking great care of them so we could relax on our travels. Very grateful for that! Recommend Cindy highly!”
“Jenni was a great choice to watch our fur baby overnight because of a last minute trip my partner & I had to take for a funeral. Due to our unexpected time constraint beforehand, she came over the same day of the booking and met our dog Hank & learned his routine. While we were away, she sent lots of pictures & gave us updates every so often so we were always in the know. We would definitely have Jenni watch Hank again in the future and highly recommend her for the pet sitting needs of other folks too!”
About: I have 3 cats and 2 mice, so I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and small animals. I love dogs and have pet-sat for my friends with small and medium size dogs I work a full time job Monday - Friday. I am available to do drop-ins before 7:30am or after 4:30 pm on weekdays. I am always available in the evenings or weekends. I will follow whatever guidelines the owner's give. Otherwise, my base care is to give dogs 2 walks a day and at least 30 minutes of playtime for both dogs and cats. Ensure the pets are fed and gone potty/clean litterboxes.
“Noel is amazing. She’s kind, attentive and connected easily with my dogs. She sent pictures and texts during the weekend and addressed their needs exceptionally well. Teddy & Pip were happy and relaxed when we got home.”
“Megan was THE BEST. She showed up on time, was super proactive in giving updates on how things were going and did a great job taking care of our dogs and our house.”

Kristen is so sweet!! Our whole crew absolutely adored her, and she took the best care of everyone while we were out of town. Our shy pup warmed up to her immediately! She sent so many pictures and updates through the weekend and was very responsive! Will absolutely be booking Kristen in the future for our upcoming travels / events! Thank you so much ❤️
One word to describe Christine and that is AWESOME. She took care of my 4 month old puppy for my first time leaving her and she nailed it. She kept me updated with the cutest photos and I could tell right away she was loving and caring for my little girl. She even helped with training as we are in a puppy class. I will use Christine in all my future pet sitting needs as long as she is available, as I hope she always is for me.
Alex was amazing - very professional! He was very attentive to our wishes and instructions, excellent communicator, punctual and all the things you would expect from hiring a pro. The house was left clean and he genuinely seems to care for our pets and enjoy their company. Got photos every day and followed our complicated medication schedule. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned! We HIGHLY recommend!
Kim went above and beyond in watching our dog while we were away. Her care and communication were excellent, and we enjoyed the pictures and text updates that she sent. Our house was also spotless when we arrived back, and our dog was happy and healthy. Kim even left some sweet surprises for us when we returned, and took the time to meet our dog twice before watching her for the first time. We would recommend Kim for petsitting to anyone, including our family and friends. She is a special person!
Joy was amazing!! She stayed with our dog for 7 days. Our dog can be a lot to handle and she did it perfectly. I received an update and cute photo each day. She was very tidy, organized, and most of all- trustworthy! The list of compliments to give her is endless. Forrest is a very active dog with some anxiety. He usually doesn’t do well on a leash, but Joy was able to walk him with some slack on the leash. That’s a huge milestone for our dog. I know he loved every minute of it. While Forrest was very excited to see me, he kept checking to see if Joy was coming back. He definitely misses her. Joy will always be the first person I reach out to when we need someone to take care of Forrest!
Jordon was fantastic—highly responsive and an excellent communicator. She kept us updated regularly with photos and notes about our puppy’s activities, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief to know our puppy was in such good hands and having a great time. The entire experience was completely stress-free. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Jordon again!
