Damian did a great job with our crew! I am very picky with how my animals are taken care of. I left detailed instructions for Damian and he followed them perfectly. He was very communicative with me and sent me lots of pictures during his stay. The animals looked happy and comfortable each time he sent pics. I even told him this was my first time l was able to actual enjoy my trip without worrying about our animals. If you are looking for a caring, trustworthy, and thorough person to take care of your pets, Damian is your guy!

Angela was nothing sort of wonderful with our cat! We had just recently moved to the area but had a 3 week long trip we needed someone to be able to check-in on the cat and spend the night. Before we even booked, Angela was willing to meet with us and talk through any questions as well as discuss what we were looking for. Our cat can be rather needy and requires a daily medicine which Angela had no problem managing. We received daily pictures and updates which helped us feel confident that our cat was well taken care of and quite happy. We'll absolutely rebook Angela - she's a great sitter!

Zara is EVERYTHING we ever could ask for in a doggie companion. Our three knuckleheads all looked like they were having the best weekend ever doing the things they each love to do the most. We cannot recommend her enough for your furry family. We have been through a rotating wheel of Rover sitters and finally have found the one that we know we can rely on for the future! Thank you so much for being a wonderful human & friend to our babies while we were away!

Chelsea was great with our 2 energetic Yorkies! She was very responsive with texts and pictures. I was so impressed with how well she left the house. She even washed the sheets and put them back on the bed. Above and beyond! Thanks Chelsea we will be booking you again.

About: Hi there! My name is Maxienne, and I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your furry friend needs attentive care at your home while you’re away on vacation or during the holidays, or just some extra love and attention during the day, I’m here to help! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, as I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care for pets while their owners are away. My special focus is on supporting deployed military members by offering long-term pet care services during deployments or extended underways, ensuring their furry companions receive consistent, high-quality care in their absence. During the weekends, I’m available from 8 AM – 8 PM for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Overnight stays and services outside these hours can be arranged with advance notice to accommodate your pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s daily check-ins, playtime, or extended care, I strive to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I provide personalized pet care in my clients’ homes, ensuring that their furry friends stay comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment while their owners are away. My services include: - Dog Walking (Weekdays & Weekends): Whether it’s a midday walk while you're at work or an early morning weekend stroll, I make sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and potty breaks they need. - Drop-In Visits: Perfect for feeding, fresh water refills, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of dogs and cats, ensuring they feel safe and cared for. - Overnight Pet Sitting: For pets that need extra care and comfort while their owners are away, I provide in-home overnight stays, keeping up with their regular routines, feeding schedules, and offering plenty of love and attention. - Veterinary & Grooming Appointments: If your pet has a scheduled vet visit or grooming appointment, I offer safe and reliable pet transport to ensure they receive the care they need. Throughout each service, I prioritize routine, comfort, and safety, keeping pet owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind while away.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Adriana was amazing!! She took just great care of our anxious pup and our cat! Our dog is very anxious and she was always giving him love and attention. We were worried about him, as it was his first time being left with someone other than family, but he did so good! We were updated with many pictures and videos and loved it!! Will absolutely book with her again!

Amelia was a great sitter and I highly recommend her! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. She was respectful and followed all instructions. I appreciated her frequent updates and was very easy to communicate with. She was also very flexible when our plans changed to arrive home on another day. We will definitely be booking with her again.

Kaitlyn was a fantastic sitter for my pup! Not only did she take care to treat my house with respect but she excelled at taking care of my Freya! My pup did not want for walks, cuddle time, food or water. A schedule was kept by Kaitlyn that was more regular than what even I can do consistently due to work. Communication with Kaitlyn was easy and consistent, which included multiple updates a day and confirmation for anything that arose. I will 100%, be requesting Kaitlyn in the future to take care of Freya again.

Madysan did a wonderful job staying with my two dogs. She provided plenty of exercise for both of my active dogs and took excellent care of them! I received daily updates and the dogs seemed to be having a great time. My house was in great condition once I returned home after a week away and the dogs were happy! I highly recommend using her for house sitting and hope to use her again for my future trips!
