“David stayed in our house with our dog and rabbit for a week while we were traveling and I could not recommend someone more highly. He was attentive to the needs of our pets and took my dog out on long walks at the park on a daily basis. He sent us pictures and updates frequently and took excellent care of our house. He took out the trash and even vacuumed our house before we came home! David is a one of a kind sitter who goes above and beyond. I will definitely ask him to come back in the future!”


“Sherry was wonderful. She was very responsible and took the best care of Dolly and Wrigley. She was very good to Wrigley when it started to rain. He gets scared and she sat with him calming him down. Definitely hoping our schedules line up for my next trip.”

“Our pets and home were well taken care of with Shannon! In the past we had difficulty finding someone who actually offers house sitting, and we felt so much more comfortable on this trip knowing our pets were in good hands and never alone for too long. Her updates gave us peace of mind while we were out of the country. We came home to a tidy house and happy pets. 🐾”


“Brien was amazing! We have a special needs dog that requires medications three times a day. Brien was up for the challenge and took the best care of our bubba. Great communication while we were away and our house looked great upon returning home. It was so nice having some peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely ask Brien to come back!”


“This was the 2nd time we had Rebecca house sit our dog. She sent us cute pictures and videos, and from them it was obvious that our dog was very happy and relaxed. She is also very clean and respectful. We are so happy that we found her and our dog bonded with her so well.”


“Brittany did a great job with Archie and was really flexible with scheduling last minute. She sent me many updates (photos too!) and there was no doubt that Archie was in great hands! We will definitely book Brittany again! Thank you, Brittany!”


“Wow! What a great find!! kelly was amazing from beginning to end. As someone who has never used Rover before, I was a bit nervous for my first time. But she walked me through everything, did a meet and greet with the animals before confirming, and was in regular communication throughout my time away. On top of that, my animals absolutely loved her! They were very well taken care of and seemed much happier than compared to a stay at the vet or boarding facility. I can’t wait to use her again next time!! Great care. Great advice on Rover. And definite lover of animals if she can handle my crew! (2 dogs, parrot, and ferret) Thanks again Kelly!”


“Kathryn was amazing!! She is so warm and friendly and kept us updated with photos and updates. The cats and our dog loved her and the house looked amazing when we got home. Highly recommended!!!”


“Sowatey was excellent! He sent several photos and kept me informed the entire time I was away. He is super respectful and truly loves spending time with animals. I highly recommend Sowatey!”


“Jennie was so incredible with Cash! She stayed with him at my apartment for an entire week and I returned with my home just as clean as I found it. She went above and beyond by taking Cash on walks and adventures while I was away, and kept me updated throughout the entire time! I would absolutely work with her again and am so thankful for the care she provided my pup!”


“Tim stayed at our house and our two pups couldn’t have been happier. He took them on plenty of walks, gave them lots of treats, and allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our babies at home.”



“Kim was awesome. She had a great attention to detail and asked questions to make sure Abby was well taken care of. She kept in contact while we were away. This was great as we did not worry at all! She also made sure our fish and chickens were cared for as well!!”


“Sarah, as usual, was amazing with the pets and took great care of them while staying at our home. It gives us so much peace of mind to have her there and makes the time spent away enjoyable and anxiety free.”


“Jade has quickly become our savior helping us out with our new 12 week old puppy Lucy! He’s great with helping get her puppy energy out and handles the nipping stage with plenty of grace! We’re grateful he lets us have a break / tend to our work obligations while she’s still potty training and adjusting to everything and has been readily available to provide us support. We look forward to having Jade as someone we can continue to rely on long term for help with our energetic pup!”


“Tasha was amazing! She was here always in time, she was super sweet with our new puppy, who accepted her immediately! She played with her, was attentive to her needs . She would send pictures and videos along the day and once I arrived she informed me of all things that happened. She has an relaxed attitude and the puppy feels this and is relaxed and calmed once Tasha leaves. I cannot thank her enough for all her help!! 😍😍”


“Carolyn is amazing! She's super friendly and kind and our dog, Roxy, loved her immediately! Carolyn took Roxy on walks and hikes and took awesome care of her while we were away. She even went above and beyond and also took care of our daughter's leopard gecko during our time away. We will definitely book Carolyn again and 100% recommend her!”


“Kind, responsible, and trustworthy! Katsu loved Jeff, and it was a very good first experience for me with the platform. Thank you! 🙏🏼”


“Adam did great house sitting for me and hanging out with Sammy while I was away. Sammy seemed to be happy I was home, but not stressed out which is always the goal with getting a sitter :) Adam even pulled a couple packages in the house for me that were delivered while I was away. If I need another sitter, I will definitely reach out to Adam!”

“Christine is awesome!! She’s very professional and treats my fur baby like he's part of her family. She’s very reliable and has excellent communication. I highly recommend her!”


About: Hello! I've been an avid dog lover since I can remember. I have taken care of family and friends pups when they are away. My passion and the companions of a dog has made me want to own a dog of my own. I have my own pup of two years now and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will take great care of them, be safe and of course loved. I work remote Mon-Fri so trust me when I say I have plenty of time to play and walk your pup. They will be in great hands and company! During the weekends, I love taking my pup to an open yet dog secluded park to run, play, and train. I do have long leashes for safety, but if you are not comfortable with it- no worries at all, just please let me know. I'm also available most weekends for boarding per request. I have a pup of my own for your pups company as well! In my home I have a crate and can help with training if requested. The pups are free to roam around the apartment/furniture, and I take out to walk every two hours or so. Your pups will be in good hands, but I do request if your pup has a scheduled routine or specific needs/behaviors to please let me know so I can adjust to their needs and behaviors.
