“Loyd was amazing with our pupper Finn and took excellent care of our house. Our minds were at ease knowing Finn and our house were in good hands. He is our go to sitter!”


“Did an excellent job of looking after our dog Romeo while we were on vacation. Sarah loves dogs and you can see that by the way she interacts with them. We received lots of photos and could see Romeo was happy and being well looked after. We will definitely be using Sarah's services again”


“I wouldn't trust anyone else but Rinnah with my dogs!!! She is the best, we reached out last minute and she was able to watch my dogs. She went above and beyond for the doggies. She cleaned up after herself and left the house clean. She was so responsive and sent so many pictures and updates! I can not recommend her enough!!!!”


“Sorona was great with our two pups. They clearly felt very comfortable with her right away, and she sent daily photos or videos during our trip. Great communicator. She was also super accommodating when we had the option to extend our trip a day and needed to modify the booking. Came home to clean sheets in the dryer, which was also appreciated.”


About: I care for animals unconditionally. I am currently training my 10 month old Malamute and through this experience I have learned that I am able to read dogs really well. I have always had dogs, usually lots of them. My mom showed me how to care for them and is on Rover as well. She has probably taken care of your pet! I am experienced in medical care and I also stay very active (especially now with an arctic mixed breed around.) Most importantly, I am excited to get to know your pet and show them love and attention. My schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m available during the week and typically off on the weekends. I will likely walk dogs in the morning and then at lunch and something longer in the evenings. When at my home, your dog will have a fenced backyard. There is a small unfenced section to walk through from our door. Depending on your dog we will pass through this leashed or unleashed (up to you!) My car is set up with a dog gate for safer trips to go hike on or off leash. We feed all dogs seperate from each other (you never know..) and will only go off-leash once your dog knows and trusts us. I am happy to learn from you about what cues your dog requires to stay close and safe.

“I can’t give Erica enough stars, she is absolutely amazing. During my recent trip, Erica stayed at my place and took care of my pet for ~ 2 weeks. She was quick to gain the trust of my anti-social cat, she communicated with me nearly daily, and my cat was happy and well cared for while I was gone. Erica also was an excellent house guest and left the place in great/tidy condition (probably better than I had left it). Thanks again Erica for taking such great care of Toed!”


“Kate was incredible with our 3 dogs! Not only did she give a quick yes to a short notice request, she provided excellent care to our dogs and an our home! Thanks Kate!”


“Ashley did a great job of taking care of our cat while we were away. She sent photos and updates and we really appreciated knowing that our kitty was well cared for during our absence.”


“Abigail is a fabulous sitter. She's friendly, experienced, and responsible. Our dog, Luna, can be anxious when we leave, but Abigail put her at ease with a couple of friendly introduction meetings. She took great care of our girl, including feeding, providing vitamins, walking, letting her out for potty, poop-scooping, paw-wiping, playing, and cuddling. Abigail also sent us photos and updates so we could rest easy while we were away. 100% would recommend!”


“Scott was fantastic and I will definitely use his services again. He gave us daily updates on our two pups with photos. Scott handled my little dogs separation anxiety house damage wonderfully. He called right away to let us know what happened and that the little one was fine. Additionally, he took great care of the house and ensured it was as we left it or better. When we returned from our trip our dogs were happy, healthy, and sad to see Scott go. I would highly recommend him!”


“Anni was a great dog/house sitter. She communicated with me regularly about the dogs, sent photo updates and made sure our place was taken care of. I’d definitely recommend Anni & hope to use her again on our next trip.”


“Ellen watched my baby for a long weekend and was extremely reliable and responsive. She took the time to ask questions and get to know my pup and the house before I left. Highly recommend for a house/dog sitter!”


“Sharika was amazing with Yuna. She is super kind, friendly and sweet. It didn’t take long for Yuna to warm up to her and want all her attention for the night. Before meeting Yuna Sharika asked several questions about Yuna to make sure she knew everything she needed to know about her. This really reassured me and made me feel very comfortable leaving her with Sharika. She kept open communication with me the whole night so I didn’t ever feel worried about Yuna. I will definitely be rebooking Sharika in the future P.s. Sharika even walked Yuna in the morning while she waited for me to come back and I didn’t even ask her too. She is a lovely girl and I highly recommend her ❤️❤️”


“Traveled out of state for Christmas and had the best gift from Izabelle! She stayed over in our home caring for our little Milo, who can be a little much and who needs someone with a lot of patience and understanding. Izabelle did just that and more, during the busiest time of year! Izabelle was a great house guest and dog sitter and would very much so, recommend her to care for your 🐾 loved ones!”

“Gloria is amazing. She house sat for us for 9 days and took excellent care of our geriatric dog. She made our trip stress free and was great at giving us regular updates. She also left our house spotless. So thankful.”


“William did a great job pup and house sitting! I felt very comfortable with him staying in the house and making sure my pups had everything they needed! I will definitely ask for him to come stay again if needed!!”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. From owning my own animals to sitting for friends and family. I have a great amount of knowledge in cat care as well as dog. I am currently available full time for pet sitting! I own my own kitty so I preferably cannot do overnights for more than a week at a time. But I am open to discussion 100%! I can do last minute if need be but prefer 1 day notice. I currently own 3 cats. Two of which are my dads but I have one of my own named Cheetoh! He’s a playful orange cat with a huge personality. He is well groomed as well as well fed. His diet is very water based due to male cats struggling with water intake. He takes vitamins for his allergies as well. I believe it is my duty as his momma to make sure he has the best care possible. I care for all animals as though they are my own. Animals deserve love and compassion always!

About: Growing up we had 3 dogs, chickens, cats and goats. I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Dogs are the best and help me get outside, I love to run and go on long hikes, and would love to be able to take care of your pup while you are away. I work during the week tue-Thur & have weekends free so I have time to give the pups walks morning and night and weekends are free for big adventures. As a house sitter I plan to care for peoples space & their animals. Making sure the dogs are fed, exercised and getting lots of affection
