“Jessica watched my 8 year old pug Gordy. She was wonderful.. sent me lots of pictures and updates and my dog loved her...I will definitely use Jessica in the future for all our trips”
“This was my first time using Rover, and let me just say Kortni took away all of the worries and anxiety that I had. She is truly one of a kind. She sent pictures and updates throughout the entire trip. You can see the love she has for pets! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She’s the best!”
About: I've been a petsitter since middle school. I've looked after cats and dogs both young and old, large and small. I'm very flexible and I take special care to keep each pet I care for comfortable and happy. I'm not currently employed, so I have plenty of time. I prefer late hours, but I can handle early risers too. I have a club event every second and fourth Tuesday; otherwise I'm fairly flexible with my activities. I will meet your pet wherever they are. If they need affection, I can give it; if they need space, I can give it. I put their well-being first, no matter what. If they make a mess, I will clean it up.
“We had River care for our senior Labrador while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with -- conscientious in her preparations, very communicative throughout the stay giving us updates multiple times each day . She was able to accomodate all of our dog's idiosyncracies. At the end of the weekend everyone was happy! Will definitely work with River again.”
“Taylor was great from start to finish. She was super responsive and took great care of our anxious pup while we were away. She stayed at our house throughout since our dog does not do well with other dogs. She updated us throughout her stay with her and was very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed last minute. Highly recommend Taylor!”
“Thalia did an amazing job caring for our two girls while we were away. She house sat for us on two separate days and followed everything we had laid out - from their walking schedule to feeding them exactly how they’re used to. It was clear she took the time to make sure their routine stayed consistent. She was also very communicative, sending us photo updates during walks and even at naptime, which we really appreciated. Being away from your dogs can be stressful, but Thalia gave us real peace of mind knowing they were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved on while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with them again.”
“Irina is an awesome sitter! Came over a few days before our event to meet our dog; she asked great questions, wrote down my answers and got a long great with our dog. She walked her multiple times, played with her in the our yard, and sent lots of photos. She was flexible with the end time, as we were attending an event and were not sure of when it would end. Thanks so much Irina!”
“I cannot say enough about how incredible Kate is! Just having moved to the area we needed to find a walker/sitter ASAP, knowing we would be traveling. Kate had so much patience with the Chaos of our moving plans and was beyond flexible with when we needed her. We decided to have her meet the pups a few times before they’re sitting and when I say they LOVE her! We have multiple dogs, one of which is XL and also old, requiring some extra TLC. We never had a single worry about Kate’s ability to take care of our fur babies and she has done amazing, both during walks and in house sitting. We will be having her walk pups regularly because of how great she is and how much the dogs love seeing her!”
“We feel like we won the dog sitter lottery. Hobbes was well cared for and Emily treated him like her own. She is kind, communicative, trustworthy and compassionate. I know Hobbes will be excited for his next visit!!”

About: I have a golden retriever and a cat at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets.

Whether your pet is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines. I’m here to provide calm, loving care that keeps them happy and you worry-free.

I follow your routines closely from feeding schedules and potty breaks to playtime, walks, or cuddle time.

“Laura watched our dog at our home while we were away for a few days. She did an excellent job with our dog and treated our home with respect. We will definitely reach out in the future when we can't bring our pup on trips! Highly recommend Laura”
About: I am an experienced and attentive pet sitter with an eye for detail. My #1 priority is the safety and well-being of your pet, and when your furry friend is in my care you can relax knowing that they are being loved and cared for just as if they were at home. My life is guided by the principles of the Bible and I base all my dealings on honesty. Your pet isn't my only client, you are too, and I am looking forward to building our professional relationship. Customer service is very important to me, and I pride myself on my communication skills. I’ve owned both dogs and cats, have experience with lots of breeds, and can administer medications. Truly, it is my pleasure to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. No dog should ever have to be lonely and I love keeping them company. When your dog stays with me, they'll enjoy the loving attention of myself and my son. We're so excited to meet you and your four legged friend! I have a pretty flexible schedule. There may be last minute fees if the book is short notice or canceled. No doubt all contributing factors will be taken into consideration. I am no longer having pets stay at my home. When I visit your home specific instructions make things run smoothly. Thank you for your consideration.
About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate social work student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until August. I can make myself available as needed. My own pets are given daily care. I own several disabled animals who require special care in order to get around and eat on their own. I currently have two budgies in a large cage l and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away when your pets are being boarded. In your home, I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet — but I do reserve the right to cuddle your pet a little more!
“Sara was fantastic! We’ve never left our boy with someone other than family before so we were very anxious, but Sara quickly put our concerns to rest. She was extremely communicative and sent us a bunch of pics every day. I’m so glad we found her and will happily use her again in the future!!”
About: I work from home as a designer so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I have loved animals since I was little when I had my own dog and cat. Now I welcome your furry friend to join me on the couch or a walk, so you have the peace of mind knowing that they're taken care of. I work flexible hours from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I am available throughout the day. I adapt to the rules and routines of any household I am welcomed into. I aim to make your pet comfortable with my presence so I can care for them.
About: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always had an animal around the house. Whether it was my parents cats, my family dogs, or my grandparents fosters, there has always been an animal in my household! I love entertaining them and playing with them, and I do my best to make sure they feel loved and safe in their spaces! I am a college student who works as a substitute teacher, so weekends are the main time I can provide your pet with the best service possible! But, if you communicate ahead of time and are nearby, I’m sure we can figure out a time for me to drop in, or the chance of me staying overnight to care for your pet! When coming into your home, I want to make sure that I am the best guest possible. Not only do I want your pet to be comfortable with me in their space, but I want you to feel comfortable with me caring for them. Give me the ground rules, the entire run down, and I will put my best foot forward to show you I’m somebody you can trust.

Sandra was absolutely amazing with our 3 dogs and our home while we were away. Our pups all have unique personalities - she handled them all with ease and they all seemed very comfortable with her the moment she walked through the door. She updated us thoroughly during her stay and sent many pictures which was extremely appreciated. We will absolutely use her again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Vanessa was amazing! Our pups all have very different needs and personalities, and she handled each of them with patience, attention, and care. When we got back, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in capable hands. We’re so grateful to Vanessa and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring!
Shandy and her husband Brian took great care of Jax! We felt he was in safe and caring hands with them. They shared frequent updates with pictures and we could tell he was warming up to them. Our house was left very clean. Jax looks forward to seeing them again!
Thalia did an amazing job caring for our two girls while we were away. She house sat for us on two separate days and followed everything we had laid out - from their walking schedule to feeding them exactly how they’re used to. It was clear she took the time to make sure their routine stayed consistent. She was also very communicative, sending us photo updates during walks and even at naptime, which we really appreciated. Being away from your dogs can be stressful, but Thalia gave us real peace of mind knowing they were not only well cared for, but genuinely loved on while we were gone. We’d absolutely trust her with them again.
Desire went above and beyond! She regularly updated about the pets, kept the house tidy, and when we returned from our trip the house was cleaner than when we left! We will absolutely be having Desire house sit more! Two large dogs and a cat can be a lot but she crushed it!
I pre booked a house sitting with Omar and his wife because I did not have someone who was definitely going to watch my bulldog. So to be safe I booked Omar. I had a meet and greet with him and his wife and they were so exited to pleas I was very impressed by there enthusiasm. Unfortunately my pooch did not get to Jersey in time for him to watch hence why I only gave 4 stars because I was not able to get the service so was not able to judge whole process .Which was not their fault just timing . Im sure though they would of been great pet sitters from the vibe I got from them In our meeting .So will be booking with them again soon!
