“Jason was wonderful, patient with our anxious dogs. We lost both our sitters as they moved. So we’re working on finding new sitters. At first our little one was very scared and vicious.. Jason gave him treats and won him over in no time. He just stayed the day, but definitely call him again. He’s definitely a dog whisperer.👍💜🐾”

“Hailey is the best! She handled our wild husky so well! She provided us with updates, pictures, and kept us at ease during our trip! She is so nice and courteous and treated our home with care! It’s great to know we have someone we can trust our dog and home with!! Will def be using her again!”

“Taylor and Bruno were fantastic taking care of my cat Shadow. He was happy and well taken care of. Shadow gets stressed when I go away and usually winds up with a bladder infection but Taylor took such great care of him that he had no infection and was calm and stress free. I highly recommend them to watch your fur baby’s.”

“10/10 for another stay with Stephanie! I got so many updates and pictures of my sweet babies while away! She went above and beyond! Always made sure they had fresh food and water and ample love!! Even did laundry before she left! Cannot recommend Stephanie enough! If you are looking for someone to not only care for your animals but also your home - book with Stephanie!”

“Mary was very good at taking care of my cat , during our trip to the uk . She was prompt at replying to my texts about how Alfie was adjusting , and kept me informed of his eating patterns . Very happy with her service .”


About: I have walked different sized and aged dogs while volunteering at the Humane Society. I love high energy dogs because they help make sure I get my exercise for the day 🙂 I strive to provide the best care and give the most time to your dogs. I create plans based on your dog's needs and not vice versa. I know it's important to make sure dogs stay happy while in my care. I monitor your dog's health and update you as soon as I see anything out of the ordinary to ensure everything is running smoothly. I currently work part time. It's easy for me to do walks in the morning and evening and night time and but I am able to board any time of the week as my boyfriend is able to help as well. I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet street and neighborhood. There is plenty of space to rest and relax and to go for long walks together.
About: Ive been taking care of cats & dogs since I was 10 years old, I understand the want for you baby's to be safe and well cared for. I have volunteered at animal hospitals, shelters and rescues since I was 14 and I truly have a love and passion for taking care of the furry creatures of the world. I am currently working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your baby. I have every Tuesday and Wednesday off, and I only work 4-6 hours at time. I unfortunately cannot board your animal at my house but I am more than willing to come to your house to take care of your pets. :)
“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”

“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”


“Shareka was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are incredibly spoiled. They’re used to lots of attention, affection, and company, and she exceeded my expectations in every way and I felt zero guilt for leaving my dogs. I use Rover almost every weekend, and I can honestly say she has been my favorite sitter so far. I would recommend her without hesitation and would hire her again every single time if our schedules line up. She’s reliable, caring, and truly treats your pets like her own. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I want to keep her my little secret. 😂 But she deserves every bit of the praise. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Liz watched my two dogs and housesat while I was away for four days. I received pictures of my dogs twice a day and everything went smoothly. The dogs enjoyed their time while I was away so I did not worry for one second. I certainly will continue to use Liz and my dogs agree.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and even exotics ever since I was a child. My major in college was Biology and my first job out of college was a Zoo Keeper. I then became a dolphin trainer working and training several types of dolphins, river otters and pelicans. The past two years I have been a Vet Technician working at a large animal hospital. Animals are my passion in life so any chance I get to be around them, I will! I am currently a full time student again and also working four days a week. Any free time I get I enjoy getting outside or relaxing. I am mainly free on week nights and some days depending on class schedule. I will not be watching pets in my own home due to having a cat myself that gets stressed around other animals in his own space. I will watch other's pets at their home and follow their instructions as given.
About: I grew up on a farm. We had lots of cats and dogs and other animals. I’ve always had a strong love for cats and dogs. I currently have one tuxedo cat and she loves to play with other kitty cats. I’ve cared for many sick animals given shots and medication multiple times a day when needed and can be in contact with pet owners throughout the day when needed. I am a professional stock photographer and work out of my home so I have lots of time to dedicate to loving your pet. I work from my Home Office studio as a professional stock photographer, and Marketing Consultant . I can be available for pet care at all days and all times. I have a fenced in backyard if needed. If I’m caring for your pet in my home, I do have a fenced in backyard if that is a requirement
“My kitties and doggos loved Jennica!! She came for an overnight sit and took such good care of them. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and was very independent. I had no worries leaving them in her care, and I know they were sad that I came back and Jennica left 😄 The house was spotless too! I’ll be having her back for sure!”

“Alexandra was a good communicator, punctual and above all kind and loving with my dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and left the house clean. I will definitely hope to use her services again.”
“Cindy was an excellent sitter staying in our home. She took care of our two dogs like they were her own. She was very helpful in bringing our packages in and more importantly our two girls got lots of love and attention. We will definitely use her to stay with our dogs again! Highly recommend!”

Kaitlyn was great with my dog, Hudson! She gave him love and care as if he were her own. She was communicative, timely and send a ton of photos and updates each day! As someone who is super picky with choosing someone to care for my dog, I couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn! She also left my home spotless and in the same condition I left it in, would 100% use her again!

Shareka was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are incredibly spoiled.

Brooke was wonderful! Our initial visit made us extremely comfortable leaving our babies in her care! She updated us often with lots of photos, and updates! She left our home tidy, and just how we left it! I commend her, because even when she had a difficult family situation, she continued to give our babies the love they needed while we were away!

Madison went above and beyond during her stay at my house. Communication was great, she sent so many pictures and videos. I know my dog Nash had a great week with her and got so many cuddles. She left my house better than she found it. I highly recommend her for any service!

Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of Bailey and Lulu! She sent lots of pictures and made sure they were happy, loved, and well cared for. I could tell they got plenty of cuddles and attention. She also took care of everything while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I’ve been using this app for over three years, and Cindy is by far the best sitter I’ve found. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next vacation. Highly recommend!

Maria is wonderful!!! I was so nervous leaving my babies (two Shih-Tzu mixes) in someone else's home and for a 2.5 week trip overseas - the longest I've ever been away from them. But she put me at ease immediately! It's so clear how much love she showers on the animals she cares for and how much knowledge she has as well. She sent me photos, videos, and messages daily and reassured me. They were completely at ease in her home, well cared for, and having fun too! I was able to quickly relax and enjoy my vacation. I would not hesitate to leave them with her again and, in fact, have already rebooked. Thank you, Maria. Moxie and Tonks can't wait to see you again.
