“Jylesha was a solid puppy and house sitter! We hired Jylesha in a a time crunch and she was very accommodating with our last-minute booking. She communicated quickly and well, and she did exactly as we asked with the dogs. She was a great house guest and we would not hesitate to work with her again!”
“Katherine was communicative and kind in caring for my sweet pup while I was out of town. She checked in frequently and I would definitely recommend her for housesitting again.”
“Kaelin did a wonderful job taking care of our house and two dogs for six days while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and seemed to really enjoy her time with the dogs. I recommend her services wholeheartedly!”
“Booking with Lily was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. She is truly one of the most professional and communicative people I’ve ever worked with. She’s incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — not just with the dogs, but in every aspect of the house sit. Both of my dogs are on a special diet, and she handled their feeding instructions perfectly. That level of attention to detail is absolutely essential for us, and she delivered with total reliability and care. What truly surprised me, though, was how beautifully she took care of our home. In the past, I’ve often come back from trips feeling overwhelmed because the house needed cleaning after a sit — especially with dogs tracking in dirt. This time, I walked in and felt like the house had been professionally cleaned. It was such a gift to return to a calm, spotless space. I would highly recommend Lily without hesitation. If she’s available when we travel again, I will absolutely be booking her.”
“Dawn did a fantastic job. Dogs were very happy and she communicated very well (photos and videos) even though I was without access to check. Will DEFINITELY use her again.”
“Isabel was amazing! She accommodated us for a last minute house visit to watch our cat Meeka. She sent tons of photos and videos and also left our home cleaner than even when we left it. We will definitely be booking her again whenever she is available!”
“John was great! Super accommodating when I had a work trip. Odin seemed so happy to have a new friend. Would certainly recommend John and will be using him in the future! John you rock!!!”
“Jessica was a gem! She was so attentive and responsive to my cats and kept in consistent communication with me while I was away. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned dogs and cats, and I’ve been pet sitting for the past 15 years, caring for animals of all kinds and personalities. From energetic dogs to independent cats, I’m comfortable adapting my care to what each animal needs. I take pet sitting seriously and focus on making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to do walks and drop-ins during the day, morning, or at night. I also work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible care throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to board pets anytime and make sure they’re never left alone for long periods. I prioritize safety, structure, and individualized care whether pets are in my home or theirs. In my apartment, pets are always supervised and kept in a calm, secure environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific care instructions provided. Living in an apartment allows me to take dogs out for multiple structured walks throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and bathroom breaks.
“Another perfect stay with Nate! He even sit me a Christmas-card worthy picture of my sweet George that I will definitely be using next holiday season. :)”
“Taylor was absolutely wonderful. She took such good care of our Tilly girl while we were out of town. She sent updates and pictures, which I appreciated. Will definitely be booking her again next time we have to go out of town!”
“Martha was amazing! She even laundered the sheets and towels before she left and ran the dishwasher. Scout was properly exercised and content. I will definitely rebook with Martha!”
“Charize is fabulous. She was so wonderful with my Velcro dog. She sent photos, played with my dog nonstop and was extremely professional. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Paige looked after our dog Stella and our cat Smash while we were away for an evening. And she did a stellar job! She kept us updated on what was going on and sent pictures of Stella during her walk. She even managed to befriend Smash - which is no small feat! I’d highly recommend Paige if you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter. 5 stars!”

Sydney was an excellent sitter. She followed instructions perfectly and took wonderful care of Riggs and Reagan. I could immediately tell they were happy and well looked after, especially seeing how calm Riggs was when I got home. Reliable, attentive, and easy to trust. I would happily book her again.

Kate was a wonderful sitter! Diamond has a history of being anxious, so she came by a little early to help alleviate any stress while we were all together. She sent us pictures and let us know how Diamond was doing. When we got back everything looked exactly as we left it. It was our first time using Rover and wasn't sure how it would go. We were all very happy with Kate and highly recommend.
Always a great experience! Daily photos and updates, great attention to detail, always responsive and excellent care, as well as able to troubleshoot and problem solve as things come up. We honestly never worry about a thing when we’re out of town and Celeste is caring for our home and pets!
John was amazing with our dog Teddy. He was super communicative and reliable and was also very flexible with our plans. He followed our dogs schedule and sent many photos and check-ins. He also went above and beyond keeping our place clean, we came back to a very happy dog. Highly recommend John!
Sofia was truly excellent, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She took such great care of my husky, Wynn, and handled her very energetic and sometimes chaotic husky personality with so much patience, care, and attention to detail. It was clear from the start that Sofia really took the time to understand Wynn’s needs and routine, which gave me total peace of mind. Her communication throughout the stay was fantastic. She consistently checked in and sent plenty of updates, photos, and videos while she was at my apartment, which I genuinely appreciated. Seeing Wynn happy, relaxed, and well cared for made being away so much easier. On top of that, Sofia’s attitude was so positive and encouraging the entire time. She was proactive, thoughtful, and clearly loves what she does. Wynn absolutely adored her, and I know she felt comfortable and cared for every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for Sofia and would not hesitate to book her again. Both Wynn and I appreciated her more than I can say—she’s an amazing sitter!
Kaycey was able to help out when our regular sitter had to cancel last minute due to an emergency. She was very communicative and punctual. She did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our two golden retrievers. She sent regular updates and communicated frequently. We would absolutely book house sitting with Kaycey again, and have her care for our pups while we are away.
We booked with Lene last minute to attend a funeral and be with family for a week. She was easy to work with, reliable, and took really good care of our two dogs! She was flexible with our ticket/scheduler changes, very tidy at our home and had good communication skills - promptly responding if we reached out and sent updates! Will definitely use her again if we need a dog sitter!
