1. Megan L.

“Megan was great with our 3 dogs on our weekend away. She came for a meet and greet in early July and came back to see them again the week we were leaving to check in with us and make sure the dogs remembered her. We will certainly book with her again!”


2. Victoria B.

“Victoria watched our two dogs in our home for six nights, and the experience was wonderful. She was consistently communicative, kind, and diligent—professional in every way. Each day, we received pictures and updates; she followed our instructions to a T. We came home to a tidy house and happy pups. Overall, she made it much easier to leave them behind and assuaged our anxiety. We’re big Victoria fans and look forward to using her in the future!”


3. Catecha G.

“Catecha was hands-down, the best decision we made for our Sobo! Given this was our first experience using a sitter, she made us feel so comfortable and communicated with us the entire length of our trip. Her skills and knowledge as a trainer is apparent in the way she interacted and bonded with our baby. 10/10 would recommend her and she will definitely be seeing our family again. She also left our home in mint condition and even helped correct some of Sobo’s behavioral issues. Her patience is unmatched! Thank you again Catecha !!”


4. Alana K.
“I can’t recommend Alana enough! She has taken care of my dog multiple times, and each time, I’ve felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in loving, responsible hands. She’s attentive, reliable, and truly cares about the well-being of the pets she watches. My dog absolutely adores her! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate, Alana is the perfect choice.”

“I'm so grateful for Brandi! She truly loves animals and did an excellent job with watching my 2 fur babies! She took excellent care of my spoiled girls and we will be using her again!!!!”


6. Mary P.


“This girl did not miss a beat. She watched our whole firy family for a week and a half and even stayed overnight with them. She was prompt to alert me To abnormal behavior from my older kitty and made sure he was taken care of at the vet. The best part was that she gave extra attention to that kitty for the remainder of the visit like I would have. All of the meds were given and even my vet commented on how well she was doing with my kitty. She updated me consistently for all the pets and set pictures/videos. She even took the trash out to the street and filled the bird feeders I would hire her again for anything pet related !!”


7. Heather P.

“We are so happy that we found Heather. ❤she sent lots of pics and updates on our dogs 🐕. They seem very happy. The house was cleaner than I left it.we will definitely use her next time we travel.”

About: Hello! I’m Brianna, a dedicated pet sitter with a genuine love for animals and a focus on providing top-notch care. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I understand the importance of keeping your pets comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s daily feeding, playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I approach each pet with the patience and care they deserve. I am also well-organized, reliable, and able to handle any special instructions you may have, ensuring peace of mind for you and your pets. If you’re looking for a compassionate and trustworthy sitter, I’d be thrilled to care for your furry family members. Let’s connect to discuss how I can help make your time away stress-free! Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to add, like pet care certifications or certain animals you specialize in! I work from home, so your dog will have full care during their stay. Routined day, down to feeding schedule, walks, bathroom breaks, etc. Followed by lots of TLC ! I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I ensure they have a clean, cozy space, stick to their usual feeding and exercise schedule, and provide plenty of attention and playtime. I’m attentive to any special instructions, such as medications or specific behavioral needs, and keep the environment secure and pet-friendly. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and happy as possible, just like they would with their family.

13. Carissa G.
About: I worked part-time at a local animal hospital for 2 years and have had pets all my life. The only reason I left the hospital was for college where I am studying Biology with a pre-veterinary concentration. While I was at the animal hospital I gained a ton of experience. I am savvy in walking, feeding/watering and medicating all animals. I gained other skills there such as restraint and collecting samples, etc. Also, I have had a dog at home all my life until I moved to college so I know what it takes to take care of a dog correctly. I am always timely and responsible when it comes to anyone’s animal. I have dealt with difficult animals at the clinic so I am welcoming of all pets! Boarding, Doggy Day Care, and Drop-Ins are available all days of the week! Boarding and day care clients will need to be picked up promptly before 6pm, unless a special request has been made with me directly. If not picked up by then, another night will be charged. Even though I am operating from home, this is still my business and should be respected as such. Dog walking is available every morning from 6:30 am-12 pm. I have a fully fenced in backyard as well as a sweet dog who loves company! We have a room on the first floor dedicated to the dogs if they need to be crated and to store their personal belongings!


14. Loan L.
About: Hi there! So lovely to meet you! My name is Loan and I have cared for pets since I was 18! I’ve dog sat and was a frequent dog walker up until December of 2021 when I got my very own pup! I am now back in business and ready to love your pup as if they were my own and my own pup will love your pup as if they were her siblings! I have a full-time work from home job so your pup will always have someone watching them (unless I am running errands). Although I do not have my own yard, potty breaks are always frequent and I never miss walks! Your pup will never be left alone as I have the friendliest pup ever but if things get overwhelming, I can always crate all dogs and make sure everyone is happy and calm. Since I WFH, your pup will always be on 24/7 watch so there won’t be any room for concern!


15. Justin J.
“Justin is a true pet lover. As a child of five years old he had his first pet dog. Which he faithfully cared for without having to be told. During his childhood he received two hamsters. One of which he was chosen over all of his classmates to receive the class hamster at the end of the school year. As a junior in high school he decided that he wanted to join the US army as a animal care specialist. His love for animals is very special.”


16. Eva F.
About: I am very attentive and caring. I have a lot of availability and will sacrifice my own schedule to help those with their pet care. I am currently a full-time student but my schedule allows me complete freedom after 1:45 PM on weekdays and I have full availability on weekends. For clients I always follow their guidelines strictly and keep contact throughout the care period to make sure nothing has changed. I enjoy sending update photos to clients of their babies!


17. Brianna M.

“She’s Awesome!!! She did a tremendous job with all 3 of my babies. They love her. She is what you call a true dog sitter! Can’t wait to book her on my next trip! Thank you again Brianna, you were wonderful!!!”


18. Iesha F.
“I would highly recommend Iesha! She is a very loving, respectful and very responsible person, I didn’t have any issues with her service. My dog loved her.”


19. Nancy S.


“Nancy was aweome!! Our Golden absolutely loved her. He was a tired pup from all the playtime. Nancy is easy to communicate with and obviously loves what she does. Will definitely ask her again to stay with our fur baby.”


20. Emily M.
About: Back home, I grew up with 13+ animals (dogs, cats, birds, a racoon, a squirrel, and even sugar gliders!!!) and through that experience I have gained knowledge and understanding of how to correctly take care of a pet. Whether it be play-time, going on walks, baths, or even being fed, I am definitely the girl to contact if you want to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I'm currently a college student, although I tend to finish my work early, and I am focused on pursuing the career I was called to do, so Rover is just a side job for me, however, given enough of a heads up, I would gladly love to work with you and your fur-baby! I'm unable to house animals in my house (landlord forbids animals, sadly), however, during walks and or sittings, I have no issue with aiding to the animal's needs and ensuring their safety with guided measures. I would also take into consideration how you, the owner, take care of your fur-baby in order to maintain civility.
