“Victoria’s calm, confident personality made her the ideal sitter for our 3 dogs during the Thanksgiving holiday. She has outstanding communication skills and kept us informed about our pups through daily texts, photos, and video. She was authentically interested in the well-being of our pups and went above and beyond to help one of them overcome her shyness and slight case of loose stool! Our dogs had a great time while we were away and were in great shape when we returned. In other words, Victoria is an outstanding dog sitter!”

“Amber took good care of our pets. This was our first time using rover and a non family member to take care of our pets while away. Amber made me feel at ease and was really sweet and patient with our pets.”

“Whitney was the best choice I could’ve ever made or had for watching my sweet Charlie. I hadn’t ever used Rover so I was a bit nervous. Whitney kept in contact with me, sent me pics of my sweet Charlie, and went above and beyond. I couldn’t sing her praises enough! I already told her I want to rebook with her in a few months when I go out of town again. Absolutely recommend her!!”

“Anjolee did a great job. She sent pictures and and kept us updated about our pets and left the house very clean. Our refridgerator also went out and she let us know quickly and she also transferred all of the frozen food to our extra freezer in our garage before the food spoiled. I will definitely use Anjolee again.”

“August is absolutely the best, caring and responsible pet sitter. We felt so comfortable and at peace knowing our fur babies were being taken such good care of. We will definitely be reaching out again for future sitter needs.”

About: As a life long pet owner, I have had great report with animals of all sizes. I have trained and enjoyed a kennel free environment. All my dogs have had happy lives and great disposition with kids and other animals. I will provide a safe and loving home for your dog where they will receive a ton of love and petting. I love that my dog will follow me around and look for any moment to get petting and affection; even will force my bathroom door open, knowing I am a captive audience. I look forward to doing the same for your pooch. I have walked dogs both short and long distances. Thank you for your consideration and look forward to meeting your family member (dog).
“Erika did a fantastic job house sitting for us for about a week. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise, engagement, and love while we were away, and gave us lots of great updates. She took great care of our home as well. Highly recommended!”

“We were away for 23 days on a long road trip, and our sitter did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were gone. She was responsible and communicative. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us during such a long trip. Highly recommend!”

“Danny is amazing with our family. We have a cranky Great Dane and Danny keeps sitting for us regardless of my dogs attitude. lol We truly appreciate everything Danny does for us.”

“Mary took care of Trixie for 30 days. She is a very caring and thoughtful person. Trixie was in excellent hands with Mary. I highly recommend that you give Mary a try with your pets.”


About: I have given dogs medicine and have experience with taking extra care of old dogs and puppies whose energy is off the roof. I have one huge dog so I’m also not afraid of pit bulls or mastiff’s and am able to fulfill any requests you have. I have just started summer and go to unm as a art student so I am constantly having free time especially during the summer as my only plans are on Tuesday for counseling and Sunday’s for church. So I have a completely free week Everytime I go to a house I make sure to clean up after myself and to clean up extra just so when you come back it’s even cleaner than you lef!
“Kat is the BEST!!! Our dog and cat adore this sitter. Kat sent pictures daily of the animals. Very grateful to have found this super reliable animal lover. After being gone for a week, didn't feel stressed at all leaving our home and pets.”
