1. Carla C.

“Carla is great! She has done two drop-in visits for us and she is amazing with our dog Mac! She responds quickly to messages and she is very accommodating. She sends us pictures and updates from her visit with Mac and he seems to really enjoy his time with her. She has even worked on some commands with him and seems to genuinely care. We couldn't be more pleased with Carla and hope she can continue helping us out.”


2. Victoria & Dustin S.


“Victoria sent us such cute pictures of our cats when they came for drop in visits. I always worry about our extremely social cats not getting enough love & attention while we are away. It was clear they went the extra mile to make sure all our cats’ needs were taken care of, not just food & litter.”


3. Heather M.

“Heather is just AMAZING! She took care of my senior dog, Trent, with exceptional care while I was on vacation. She did drop-in visits 3x a day and went above & beyond in every way. She kept me updated with tons of pics, detailed notes, and excellent communication throughout the entire process, which was so reassuring. Heather not only made sure Trent was well-fed and happy; she also brushed him, swept up, got my packages, even found my missing trash bin & brought it into the garage! Her genuine love for animals and kind, friendly nature made her a **true blessing**!! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter—Heather made my trip totally stress-free and enjoyable. After 10+ years of searching, I’m so glad I finally found the BEST!!! :) Book her now, you won’t regret it!”


4. Bianca C.

“Prompt. Communicative. My pup loves spending time with her every time she takes care of him. Highly recommend if you need a sitter, are out of town or just need someone to play with your pet, she’s awesome!”


5. Elizabeth M.

“She was excellent! Very punctual, followed directions to a tea and communicated very well! Thank you Elizabeth for taking great care of Remi and Sandy. I’ll definitely be using your services again!”


6. Lacie S.
About: I have a large fenced in yard! I do have 2 large dogs that are very friendly and love company. I will care for your dog just like You do! If they are crated I have an extra crate and if they are free roaming they will be left out. Our pets are the center of our universe and all of our activities revolve around them. We make sure they are given plenty of time outside getting exercise with an equivalent amount of time inside lounging around relaxing. Our dogs sleep in our room with us and we are willing to do the same for your pups if that is their normal routine! I strongly believe in caring for your pet the exact same way you do. Whatever your regular routine is I am strict about following it. I know how stressful it is on our fur babies being without us so I want to keep them as comfortable as possible.


7. Brittany M.

“Brittany was GREAT! I could see the happiness in my dogs face in every picture. It was raining all weekend and I knew opal would get her feet muddy but Brittany took it like a champ! Will hire her again in the future :)”


8. Regina G.
“Regina is a diamond in the rough! Not only is she a wonderful person, she has a way with animals that is undeniable. I, myself, own a dog walking and pet sitting business and am very picky when it comes to receiving pet care. Regina is one of the very few people I trust not only with my pets, but with the care of my home. She sends regular updates & photos and isn’t afraid to ask questions. Without a thought, Regina is the best choice for all of your pet care needs. 🐾”


9. Olivia N.

“Olivia was great and communicated well. She was open to a meeting with my pups before the scheduled drop ins. My pups where happy to see her when she showed up. I would definitely book with her again”


10. Valerie S.

“Valerie is a really nice person & her huge love of animals is a big plus! From the initial meet & greet, our cats liked her and they’re typically shy towards strangers. I think they could tell she’s a true animal lover. She is very thorough and sent pics & updates to us while we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 cats to be checked on by her. Valerie is a wonderful pet sitter & we will definitely use her services again.”


11. Kelly F.
“Kelly is a pet lover who has had pets and cared for them all her adult life. She will be a great sitter for you.”




12. Areial P.
“I am truly grateful for Areial for cat sitting. My cat got locked in the closet and I message her if she can come at her earliest convenience, and she came so early to release my cat. In addition, my cats love her and feel very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her service!”


13. Elyssa S.

“Ms. Elyssa was amazing. She really went above and beyond for our furbabies. She made an additional trip because it was raining and Rosie didn’t want to go potty. She was always on time and provided updates and pictures. Thank you Elyssa for your care on our pets while we were gone!”


14. Jenny S.
“Such a great sitter! My boys got so much love and attention, and Jenny was so communicative about the stay. I really appreciated her attention to detail, she treated them like they were her own. Jenny will definitely be my go-to!”


15. Marisela V.
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child! Now my daughter falls in love with any dog! So we decided to pet sit for friends and relatives. Now that she is older, want to do it for everyone! I work full time during the week. But I am available starting Friday evening through Sunday evening to love your babies while you are away! I have fenced yard and 1 friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your baby if needed. I have large back yard as well, where they can play if needing some outdoor fun!


16. Lexie R.
“As a 5- star Rover pet sitter myself, Lexie is the pet sitter I trust with my own animals when I’m away. I can rest easy knowing my pets are well loved in her care, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her responsibility, professionalism, and kindness. When I’m away, she keeps me updated with photos and messages, which is incredibly reassuring. My pets and my home are always well-cared for, and I always feel confident knowing my babies are in such good hands. I would not hesitate to hire Lexie again and encourage anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter to reach out.”


17. Shelby B.

“Shelby arrived for a drop-in visit on time and took great care of my German Shepherd. Even fed her dinner for me, which was nice and gave me peace of mind during a long work day.”


18. Liz R.

“I would not have enjoyed our 2-week trip as much without our confidence that Liz was taking care of our dog and cats - my babies! Her daily notes and pics reassured me that everything was fine. I was especially impressed that all three “furbabies” developed a relationship with her - our dog Eddie is friendly to everyone, but cats are more particular about doling out affection! Forever grateful and already planning to book her often!”

About: Are you planning a trip and need a safe, loving environment for your fur baby? Look no further! I have been working with animals for numerous years now, walking, pet sitting, and training puppies. I currently own several dogs myself and work at home full time caring and boarding animals so your fur baby will never be lonely. I have the flexibility to take them out as often as they need as I am never gone for long periods of time, ever. If your dog does not do well with other animals that will not be a problem at all as I am 100% able to keep them separated as well. I live on 3 acres that gives plenty of space to walk and play. Depending on how active your dog is I can walk them as often as they need or for however many miles you would like in a safe environment. I have plenty of dog toys, beds, and blankets, but if your baby has a specific bed, toy, blanket, or crate that will bring them comfort please bring it. For more details or if you have any questions definitely reach out! I work at home caring for and boarding animals. I will be available to care for your pet all hours of the day and night with the exception of an errand here and there. Every dog will stay in a 5x5 kennel when I am not around and at night for their safety. Throughout the day they will not be in a kennel, they will be with me either outside or in the house depending on what your dog prefers.
