“Jordan was amazing. She was very flexible and even stayed an extra night when my flight was delayed getting home. She took wonderful care of our two dogs and also took great care of the house. She was attentive to all the dogs needs and routines.”

“I have booked with Felicia three times now, and she has consistently provided a great experience. What stands out most is her attention to detail; she asks a lot of questions upfront to make sure she fully understands my dog's routine and comfort levels. It’s clear she wants to get everything exactly right, which gives me a lot of peace of mind while I'm away. She is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the well being of the animals in her care. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone thorough and attentive!”


About: I have had a dog all my life both big and small. I also cat sit and I’m willing to take care of all animals. Helping with your pets helps me be happy:) I am a PA student and I have classes from 10-3 most days. I am available to check in before or after class at anytime. I also am available weekends as well. I currently don’t have any pets in my home. I live in an apartment and I’m willing to go sit at your place or check in on the animals when needed.
“She was great! My furbaby uno really loved and enjoyed his time with her. She was very communicative and kept sending pictures and keeping me updated which I really liked. She is definitely becoming our permanent doggy sitter.”

“Emma was great! She communicated before, during and after our trip. She followed all instructions, and even our nervous pets loved her. She learned how to give our diabetic cat insulin shots. And at the end she cleaned more than we asked, so we had a nice clean home to return to. Thanks Emma!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I recently had to let my two girls go, so I’m looking forward to loving on your babies. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. Both of my girls needed medication towards the end, so I’m familiar with administering pills on a schedule and anything else that goes with owning a senior dog. My oldest had dementia, so if your pup has that, I can handle the quirks that come with that. I’ve also watched my friends bigger dogs, and they love just as much cuddles as the little ones do. Taking your fur baby out for walks, cuddling with them, and playing with their favorite toys would bring so much joy. You’ll have peace of mind (and updates) if you let me take care of them like you would. I am a teacher, so during the weekends and summer I have all the time to spoil your precious baby. Being a teacher also means I can spend extended time with your pet during the summer. I’m very good at following schedules and routines to help make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will love on them, play with them, and do anything else you need so both of you feel relaxed while you’re at work or on a trip.
“Jazmin stayed at our home to watch our two dogs Zeke and Ruby. She was very responsive and attentive to our babies! She kept our house clean and is very reliable. I would recommend Jazmin to any dog sitter!”


About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog caregiver, and I truly understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your furry family member. I'm currently a proud pet parent to two high-energy dogs, so I know firsthand how to keep pups engaged, exercised, and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, tug-of-war, or just some good belly rubs, I'm here to give them the attention they deserve.I work a traditional 9–5 job, but I’m flexible and can schedule around that to make sure your dog is well cared for during mornings, evenings, and weekends. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care that fit comfortably around my work hours, ensuring your pup gets the love and attention they deserve! Let's set up a meet and greet, and hopefully had your pup to my extended family! I work a traditional 9–5 job, but I’m flexible and can schedule around that to make sure your dog is well cared for during mornings, extended evenings, and weekends. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs who can keep your fur baby company! I have 2 large crates that can house both of my dogs if individual play time is needed!
“Emmanuel was an amazing pet sitter! He watched my 5 fur babies while I was gone for a week and they got along with him so well! He was very attentive to my fur babies and he enjoyed time spent with them! He treated them like they were his own. He was very communicative, providing me daily updates with adorable pictures and videos! He even got my antisocial cat to warm up to him and interact with him, which was a 1st! He also did a great job keeping the place clean while caring for the fur babies. I feel like my pets definitely lucked out with having an amazing sitter and new friend! I would highly recommend booking Emmanuel as your next pet sitter!”

“Tracie is great with my 3 babies! She always shows up on time I always feel safe knowing she is watching over my babies. I would definitely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”

“Tyshaun pet sat our 3 dogs and 2 cats twice and we are very happy with his work. My dogs, took to him quickly and we’re happy to see him the second time around. We felt at ease knowing our fur babies were well looked after!”

Lisa and her daughter, Abbi took care of Gus, our 13y/o old pup for 2 weeks and we couldn't be happier. They took the time each day to send photos and a quick update on how he was doing. They also house-sat for us so Gus wouldn't feel lonely. Abbi followed the directions/instructions to a "T", and we came home to a very well looked after pup. They were very responsive after making first contact on Rover and showed up on time for each meeting. Very pleased and will use them in the future with no questions.

Absolutely phenomenal! De' ara G. went above and beyond in every possible way while watching Ares and looking after my home. Leaving your dog and your household behind can always be a bit stressful, but I was completely at ease knowing De'Ara G. was in charge. They didn't just meet the basic requirements—they truly gave Ares top-tier care, attention, and exercise. On top of that, they took incredible care of the household, keeping everything clean, secure, and organized. I came home to a happy, well-loved dog and a spotless house. If you are looking for someone who is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cares, look no further. I will absolutely be hiring De'Ara G. again!

We could not recommend Sara enough! She has an obvious love for all animals, that translates very naturally into her care for them. She offered a meet and greet before her stay and provided updates throughout the weekend. We absolutely will trust her again with our home and animals, and recommend her to other friends and family in need of a sitter.

Our dogs had a great time with Brieana and settled in with her right away! When we got home, it honestly felt like we had never even left. She took great care of them, kept us updated, and treated them with so much care. We’re really grateful to have found someone we trust with our pups, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!

She is amazing! Delannie watched our pups when we were out of town and we have nothing but great things to say about her. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions and clarify anything to make sure our babies were happy and healthy. She was very good at communicating overall and updating us with pictures and how they were doing. She also went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess one of the dogs made. Would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone who asked!

Cameron was phenomenal with our Bootsy boy! He was really patient during the initial meet up as Boots took a few minutes to warm up and they were besties by the end of it. Cameron asked great questions to make sure he was fully informed on Boots' routine prior to us leaving. He sent pics and videos throughout and even taught Boots a new spin trick! Our house was left very clean and he stripped the bed for us before we got home to wash things. My husband and I would highly recommend using Cameron to anyone in the area!
