“We loved having Tiffany as our house sitter while on vacation this past week! She is always so attentive to our pups and makes a huge effort to care for them when we are gone. I love when she texts us pictures to show how they are doing. We love Tiffany!”


“Morgan was so friendly and kept me up to date with pictures and messages of the pups. Our dogs loved spending time with her. Will definitely keep her in mind for rebooking!”


“Erica was prompt with all communication and I’m pretty sure my home is cleaner than I left it. I appreciated her frequent updates, especially considering our dog can be a handful. I’m glad to have found a trustworthy sitter who is willing to care for our pet in our own home. We’ve already booked her again!”


“We were very happy with Michaela and the care she provided while we were away! She followed all instructions, kept the house in good order, and, made sure our pets were safe, happy, and cared for. 🐾🏠 She was reliable, respectful of our home, and communicated as needed. She absolutely did everything we asked and we had peace of mind while we were away. We would gladly have her sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, no-fuss care.”


“Mary was amazing with our anxious pup! She came and met us and our dog the week before our trip. She took the time to get to know us and all our pet’s needs. Mary sent many updates and pictures throughout her stay at our place. She was incredibly patient and kind. We can’t wait to have her watch our dog again in the future.”


“Kimberly was great! Our animals loved her and her communication while we were gone was just what we needed to allow us to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were taken care of. Highly recommend her! Thank you Kimberly!”


“Kristen was great with our 2 pups. Thank you!”


About: Hello, my name is Rylie! I am such a dog lover! Although I never owned one myself, I enjoy taking care of others to fill that void. I have been dog sitting since I was about 10 years old for multiple neighbors. Many would describe me as responsible and passionate since a very young age. I even attended many dog training classes for a puppy I babysat for two years. I am excited to continue my journey of taking care of dogs and other animals and ensure that owners will have enjoy time away without any stresses. I have lots of available time throughout the day to take pets on walks, feed, and check up on. I can ensure you that your pets are my top priority. The first and last thing I do before leaving a client’s house is checking the perimeters of the house to make sure assure there were no accidents made. I make sure there’s nothing your pets can get a hold of and chew on while I am taking care of them.

About: I've been around dogs from a very young age and truly believe that there is nothing better than being with a dog. At 12 I begged my parents for a dog that I have diligently taken care of since. My love of animals inspired friends, family, and neighbors to ask me to look after their pets long before I even realized that pet sitting was a job. Wether its going on walks, sticking to a feeding schedule, or enforcing house training i treat every dog as my own. As a university student at home for the summer, my schedule is very flexible so I am available for last minute booking, daily care, or extended stays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect as your own. I follow all routines closely (walks, feeding, etc.) to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I know how important trust is when someone inters your home, and I take that seriously.

“Barbara was a very conscientious pet sitter for our 2 year old Poodle. She gave her lots of attention, cuddles and took pictures to share with us. I highly recommend her services. 😊”



“We couldn't be more pleased with Ashlee and Warren's care of our fur babies. Everything promised was delivered - the dogs seemed well-cared for and relaxed upon our return and the house was in pristine condition - a wonderful way to return from a week away! Additionally, Warren and Ashlee did a wonderful job keeping us updated with photos and texts about the pooches and their demeanor. I would definitely seek out Warren and Ashlee again to care for our dogs.”



“Kayla did awesome, came home to no messes. Went above and beyond with special needs of our deaf old dog. Had great communication and sent photos. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely be back!”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, thanks to my dad being a military dog handler. From an early age, I learned the importance of structure, trust, and attentive care. I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience. I'm comfortable giving medications, managing multiple pets, and adapting to each pet's unique needs and routine. Whether your dog is big, small, shy, or high-energy, I’m confident, calm, and always focused on safety, comfort, and fun! I’m available for pet care on Friday nights and throughout the weekends, including overnight stays. This schedule allows me to give your pets my full attention and care when you need it most. Whether it’s evening walks, playtime, or overnight companionship, I’m flexible and ready to help keep your furry friends happy and comfortable! When caring for pets in your home, safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. At your home, I respect your space and routines to keep pets relaxed and stress-free. I also will clean up if staying over the weekend! Open communication with you ensures your pet’s needs are fully met and you feel confident leaving them in my care.

“I have been fortunate to have Cassiopeia dog sit a few times. Always goes well and provides reassurance to me that my dog is well taken care. Highly recommend her!!!”


About: I’ve been taking care of the family dogs ever since I was 8! I’ve been the one who’s fed them, taken them on walks, and everything else they need. I’ll treat your pet like family, and I’m an animal lover through and through ❤️ I work full time at a Cardiology office, 8:30-5, so if you have a similar schedule I would be a great fit! I’d make sure the pets’ feeding schedules and potty schedules stay the same :) When I watch pets I generally stay at the clients home, treating like a hotel room and keeping it spotless! Generally I find it’s the comfiest for pets as well so they feel safe in a known environment.

About: I've cared for over 20 dogs and 5 cats over the past 10 years. My family fosters all kinds of dogs, so I can handle small dogs, big dogs, puppies, and many different breeds. I've walked, fed, and bathed my own dogs as well as other family members' pets, family friends' pets, and neighbors' pets. Growing up around pets has made me an animal lover for life <3 I am a college student in Fredericksburg, so pet sitting would happen in between and around my classes. I'm free any day during the summer and will update my availability before the fall semester. Any/All pet sitting would happen in the pet's home, since my apartment has a 2 pet max (which my dog and cat fill). Your pets will have my full attention and be safe for the entirety of my job. I am comfortable going to a dog park or on long walks with your pet during my stay.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have cared for them when they have been at there very best and worst and given them the most love. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only go for a couple hours a day. I also work part time at before and after care. I’m mostly looking for times to fill in during my free time, including during break and over the summer. I will make sure that everything thing is safe in the area for that pet. And they have everything they need during my time with them.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was little, around 11 years old, but have lived with cats since I was 2 years old. I do have a senior cat, and ferret. Im experienced in giving cats, dogs and ferrets medication for health issues they have had in the past. I’m not expert in everything, but I’m not afraid to learn! I’m currently working full time, but enjoy a busy schedule and a good routine. If I need a specific day off, I can work it out. I’ve been working since I was 14, it has made me more responsible, reliable, and determined. I have two cats, and one ferret, I'm fully responsible for them. I take care of their daily care, vet visits, trim their nails, give them baths, and everything in between. They have been under my care for more than 5 years. I’ve had experience with rodents, birds, and dogs.

“Sydney is amazing with my two dogs! She always makes sure they get plenty of exercise and snuggles, and sends multiple daily updates and pictures when I’m out of town! I plan on continuing to book with Sydney in the future, and I definitely recommend her to take great care of your pets!!”


About: I've been taking care of animals ever sense I was 10. Grew up near a farm where they housed horses and donkeys and cared for dogs all my life. I'm currently working on rebuilding a farm and making it enjoyable for people of all ages. Work around chickens, ponies, and dogs all day. Also have some farm cats that also roam around the farm. I have a partially fenced in yard for your dog to roam free in and plenty of barn and indoor space to stay cool or for overnight stays. Two friendly dogs that just want to be pet all day protect the property from any intruders. Plenty of indoor space for smaller dogs and sleeping at night. Lots of outdoor running room and farm animals to meet all under watchful attention.

She has watched the pups for us many times, from short weekend trips to much longer travel stints. Whether we have been gone for two nights or for seven we return home to happy healthy pets and a clean home. She asks thoughtful questions and adapts so readily to your pet’s unique quirks you don’t have to stress about leaving your pets when she’s on the watch. We highly recommend Nicole except for any dates that we want to use her for our dogs! When she asked us to write this review for her it was bittersweet because everyone deserves to have a pet sitter as caring and capable as Nicole but the secret will get out how wonderful she is!”

Caitlyn P.
“Catie is one of the absolute best pet owners that I know. After coming over for the first time and seeing how well she takes care of her pets, it made me rethink my choices at a pet owner! Even if she’s had a long and tiring day at work, she ensures that every inch of their living space is clean and inviting for them. If there’s even a slight change in their behavior, she has the vet on speed dial :). I wouldn’t put anyone above her as a caregiver.”
