“Ellie was a great find for watching my senior cat. She was very kind and compassionate, made sure he got his meds and extra cuddle. I know my cat appreciated having her visit.”

“Alix is fantastic! I am 100% comfortable having my boys in her care! Not only did she come through for us last minute, she was wonderful with our doggies! I especially appreciated the photo updates. Thanks for putting our worries at ease Alix, you rock!”
“Lynn did a great job with our timid dog. She was very patient. Thank you so much for keeping us updated, and the pictures helped this homesick owner a lot!”

“Madaline did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were away. We were a little concerned because one of our cats has been having some constipation issues lately and has been refusing to take her meds. Madaline was able to get her to take her meds and our cat had no issues when we returned. We will definitely request Madaline the next time that we are away!”


“Avery is fantastic- she was supremely reliable and committed to giving the pets all the “pets” and attention. I recommend her to anyone wanting the best of care for their pets while they are away!”

About: I’m the type of girl who walks up to you and asks if I can pet your dog! They bring so much joy to my life❤️ When I lived with my parents, I had the opportunity to grow up with a Whippet for the past 6 years! She’s 11 years old now, and she is just the sweetest little girl ever. She’s also a speed demon and still can catch squirrels and/or bunnies making me a very avid potty watcher;) Since I’m still in school and working part-time, I know that being a dog sitter would be a wonderful addition to my life! I’m more than willing to spend time with your dog regardless of age, disability, emotional capacity, and bonding ability! With my schedule right now, I am very accommodating to you and your dog’s needs. Know that ensuring your dog to my care not only promises the love and care that your pet needs, but also ensures that love and care to me as well! That’s how much I love dogs. Looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry loved one(s)! As a part-time assistant coach and online grad student, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your dog consistent attention, comfort, and care. Whatever you need, I can make it work with my schedule! Even though I don’t have dogs of my own at home right now, I’m able to create a peaceful, safe, and welcoming environment just for yours. My space stays clean, calm, and free of distractions, which helps pets settle in quickly and feel secure. I follow your routines closely—from feeding and walks to comfort items and cues—so your pet feels consistency and familiarity even in a new place. I’m big on safety and trust: clear communication, careful supervision, and a home set up with your pet’s well-being in mind. Because I don’t have other animals here, your pet gets my full, focused attention and lots of one-on-one care. My goal is always to make your pet feel understood, safe, and genuinely loved while you’re away.
“Adam is a real furbaby lover...his attention to detail and wanting to care for your pet as if it's his own ...Thankfully I found you! ♥️ so much...for the last minute plans i had to make because of a family emergency..You saved the day...”

“Grace has been watching my cats for over 6 months now and does an absolutely stellar job each and every time! She takes amazing care of my kitties and also my home while I am away. She is very good about communicating how they are doing each day and you can tell she cares deeply about the fur babies she is caring for. I highly recommend her as a trustworthy sitter who goes above and beyond.”

“Camryn responded immediately and came out to meet my doggies beforehand. The dogs like her! She came out with her little one, but the dogs weren't quite sure about the baby carrier with the fan on it :). They were really curious though. Camryn took good care of my fur-babies, fed them and made sure they went potty before she left. I will contact her again.”


“Emma was great with Aries and was very easy to communicate with. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone to love on their pup when they’re away and I look forward to booking with her again in the future!”

“Theresa is wonderful. I was hesitant to leave my cat alone as she has her quirks. Theresa came by every day twice and interacted well with whiskey once whiskey decided to stop hiding! I came home to a happy content cat and clean house. She kept me updated with lots of photos and texts. Definitely recommend Theresa!”

“Dee was absolutely amazing stopping over to give our guy some love and walks over the weekend. She was extremely communicative and provided lots of photos and updates each visit. Her notes were great and we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend her and will ask for her help again!”

“Petra did a great job watching our dog! She was great at communicating and always arrived at the agreed on visit times. Our dog really loved her and we would definitely book her again. Thanks, Petra!”

“I used Rod again for my pugs! They LOVE him. I scheduled him last minute and he immediately responded and made me feel good — once again—to leave my babies with him. He stayed longer than he needed to and i felt so comfortable being away.”

“This was my Husband and I’s first time using Rover and Carly was such an amazing find. From the moment we met Carly we knew our Kitty Fur Babies would be in good hands. She made sure she had their daily num num routine down along with their other personal care needs. Carly put us at ease being away from our Fur Babies Gala and Floki. We looked forward to getting our Rover Report Card everyday. It had an update with how they were doing along with pictures. She was also very quick with responding to messages. We were so beyond happy with how she took care of our Fur Babies. You will not go wrong with Carly.”

“Christi took exceptional care of my puppers while I was out of town. She was fantastic. The check in cards were a great feature, Christi gave updates and photos during visits. Knowing my fur family was in good hands provided the peace of mind I needed. I would choose Christi as my pup sitter any day!”

This was our second time booking Brennan, and it was an easy yes to hire him again. My wife and I were tied up with childcare, and Brennan stepped in seamlessly. Our dog genuinely loves him, and the care, attention, and reliability were just as great as the first time. Highly recommend. We’ll be booking again
