“Fen was Fantastic! She took so good care of our dogs, that when I came home, they went around me, and said, where's Fen? LOL. They really like her a lot! I have her re-booked for my next business trips. She treated them with loving care. Great communication with me. Great pictures. Thank you very much Fen!”
“It was my first time leaving my puppy Jordan sent lots of pictures and was very thankful for a detailed list of his routine . She left the house spotless and my pup was happy when I arrived back , would use her again.”

“Alexandra is a very friendly and punctual. My dog loved having her watch him. He felt very at ease with her as we could tell by the picture she sent of him on his back and paws in the air asking for a belly rub. Will definitely ask Alexandra to watch him again.”

“Samantha is amazing. Her communication is excellent and she sent us tons of pictures. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous but Samantha put our minds at ease. She is professional and friendly and came over before she watched our pups to introduce herself to us and our dogs. She was a perfect fit and plan on using Rover and Samantha again!”

“Carolina demonstrated great care of our hound and followed all instructions during her stay. She sent regular updates and communicated clearly throughout. Returned home to find the dog happy and the house in order. She even flicked on the outside lights before leaving. Highly recommend!”

“Grace was fantastic! Our dog had his first seizure ever while we were away and she handled it wonderfully. Contacting us immediately and making sure he was okay. Very grateful that she was there to care for him during that time. 10/10 would recommend her.”

“Cynthia was so wonderful! She was incredibly conscientious and thoughtful. And a super fast communicator. Our dog was happy and well taken care of when we got home and clearly loved his time with her!”
“We had a good experience with Lauren for overnight with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can only say I wish there were a few more updates throughout, but absolutely no issues. Thank you, Lauren”


About: I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have an animal in my life. From shepherds to terriers, I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I also have experience caring for cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve trained my own dogs, cared for foster puppies, and have experience handling pets with different needs and temperaments. I’m very open to feedback, learn quickly, and always strive to provide the best care possible. When you book with me, you can expect meaningful, attentive, and reliable care for your pet. Your fur baby will have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Rain or shine, I will show up and give every pet the patience, attention, and care they deserve! Over the summer I am working fully from home. Which means I have an open schedule to care for your pets. I am open from morning to night. I can do daily visits, weekly visits, and more. When house sitting for your pets, I prioritize a respectful and responsible approach. I value clear boundaries in my own life, so I make it a point to treat your home and privacy with that same high level of integrity. I’m fully open to your specific rules and feedback, and I’ll keep you connected with consistent updates so you never have to wonder how things are going.
“"I can't thank Evelyn enough for the exceptional care they provided for my dog Jax and my special needs dog Ginny! From the very beginning, she showed incredible patience, understanding, and attention to detail. She took the time to learn about Ginny's unique needs and followed all instructions meticulously, ensuring my dogs felt comfortable and safe. Not only did she manage the specific care routines required, but she also offered updates and photos regularly, which put my mind at ease. It's clear that Evelyn has a real passion for animals and a kind heart, especially when it comes to pets with special needs. I feel so grateful to have found someone so reliable, compassionate, and experienced. Highly recommend!"”

“Melissa was great! This was our second time using her and we will definitely use her again! Definitely recommend her to come into your home and dog sit. She is wonderful with our puppy and Sassy loves her!”

“Anna was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs and our home! She kept us in the loop with great communication, sent us adorable pictures, and took them on regular walks. Plus, she was so flexible when we had to cut our trip short. I can’t recommend Anna enough—she’s the best!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 12 years old, and since then caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years I’ve helped care for dogs belonging to friends and family, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with a service dog, which taught me a lot about responsibility, consistency, and paying close attention to a dog’s needs and behavior. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, active, and loved. I always make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed knowing their dog is happy and well cared for! I’m available after 5pm on weekdays and have flexible availability on weekends. I’m happy to help with walks, visits, feeding, playtime, and giving your pet lots of attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow the pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I treat both the pets and the home with great respect and attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that everything is going well.
“Kristy was incredibly kind, communicative, and patient with our two cats and our dog. This was the first time she cared for them, and I didn’t feel nervous at all leaving Bailey and the cats in her care. She kept us updated, paid close attention to their individual needs, and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Kristy did an amazing job, and we would absolutely trust her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.”

“Monica was very accommodating to our special requests and spent lots of time at our house with the pets. She sent lots of pics and messages to let’s know all was good. She took great care of our Saint Bernard, cat, and house. We will definitely be using her again for future trips!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience caring for my own dog and 12 years of dog-sitting for friends and neighbors. I treat every dog as if they were my own, providing loving, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including administering medications, special diets and subcutaneous fluids, and understand the extra patience and attention they may require. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule most days of the week. I'm available to walk the dog at least 4 times a day and take care of all additional needs throughout the day. I care for pets in a client's home exactly to the owner's specifications. I follow the same schedule/routine that the dog is used to, so they can easily adjust to my presence.

Carolyn took great care of our dog Bailey while staying in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was very thoughtful about keeping us in the loop—sending updates and photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. Bailey is an older pup who needs medication and a little extra TLC, and Carolyn handled his routine with ease and genuine care. It meant a lot to us to know he was comfortable and well looked after while we were out of the country. We truly appreciated Carolyn’s reliability and attentiveness, and we would gladly have her stay with Bailey again. Highly recommend!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Krista. We were out of the country on an extended trip and very worried as this was the first time our Loki would be alone for 19 days after Wally passed away in June. Loki saw us packing and his anxiety was high causing him to be a bit unwell the day we left. I called Krista to inform her and she put my mind at ease - she eased my anxiety and i left home feeling calm. She assured me that she would handle the situation. Krista took such good care of Loki - she sent us updates and pictures and followed all the instructions i had left for her. Our neighbors messaged me to say how well she was taking care of Loki - She left our home in impeccable condition and we returned to a happy and healthy dog. I highly recommend Krista to anyone- you can rest assured that she will take great care of your pet and home.
