“Rosemary took great care of my dog Beau. While I was away she provided me updates and pictures which made me feel at ease while I was away. When I came home the house was clean and tidy. I appreciate the love and care that Rosemary gave my boy.”
“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Claire provided for our two dogs while we were out of town! She was responsive and kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures, which helped put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dogs and they loved having her around! She followed the care instructions we left, made sure our dogs were well cared for, and even tidied up before leaving. Knowing our dogs were in such great hands allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. We’re so grateful for her kindness, communication, and reliability — we would absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Vinnie did a great job with our anxious dog, Stax. She can sometimes be nervous with men and Vinnie went out of his way to do a meet and greet with her, as well as checking on all of her care instructions. He communicated well and we look forward to him taking care of Stax again soon.”
“Eve was kind enough to agree to a last minute booking when our originally scheduled sitter cancelled at the last minute. She took great care of our dear pup and sent lots of photos.”
“Joanne instantly bonded with my pets and it was obvious that they were very relaxed and happy in the photos she sent. She gave them little bandanas and treats. She is very conscientious and a good communicator. She left the house very clean. Would recommend!”
“Vanessa and Paula worked great as a team! They came to visit Skylar the night before I went out of time, took her on a walk, and was there right on time the next morning. I was able to go out of time without a single worry. Paula sent me the cutest pictures and videos while I was away. There was one small hiccup with my key, but even then she figured everything out on her own without any additional stress to me. Highly recommend! My dog and I were both happy”
“Grace house/dog-sat for me 24 hours a day. She did an exceptional job ensuring my two Pomeranians were well cared for, safe, and happy. She fed them, took them outside for potty breaks, and walked them according to the same schedule I used and asked her to use. She sent me and my family pictures and videos showing our two Poms enjoying their time with her. When I arrived home, everything was in its place, clean, and as if I had never left. If I have future travel plans, I hope Grace will be available to care for our dogs again! I HIGHLY Grace for all your dog care services.”
“We’ve had Alan stay at our house for multiple vacations, and have two more scheduled with him in the coming months. He’s always been very communicative and flexible. Our boy dog can be a handful, but Alan handles him well.”
“Leo is simply an awesome pet sitter and we love to have him in our home! We know he’ll be there and take care of everything for our fur babies! He manages our two senior cats, one teenager cat, and the GSD puppy, with ease. We rely on him to make sure meds are given, food is always put out and on time, and that the puppy can chase a ball for extended sessions. The puppy is walked at least twice a day to burn off some of that endless energy. Leo also maintains, cleans, and keeps the house for us. He brings in papers, the mail, and any shipped boxes. He takes pictures of the boys and girl throughout our trips. Lastly, he works with our crazy schedule and is available often. Leo is our go to sitter. We already have him set for several sits in the upcoming year. Highly recommend him!”
“Olivia is awesome! Our puppy can be a handful but she just rolled with it. She updated us daily and sent hilarious and adorable pictures. She showed Peluche a great time and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy a worry-free weekend. So happy to have found her!”
“Kristen is an incredible sitter for our pups! We always feel at ease knowing the pups and house are well taken care of and loved. We will absolutely be booking with Kristen again!”
“Danielle is wonderful! Millie had the best weekend hanging out with her, she was worn out by the time we got home. We received updates throughout out the weekend along with pictures. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter specially on short notice. Danielle truly loves dogs and we will certainly reach out to her first if we need a sitter in the future.”
“Jake as always is wonderful on taking care of HoneyBear and his communication with me. I appreciate his flexibility on my new apt door system. He always sends an update daily and it is much appreciated. Thanks Jake for always taking care of HB. I can thoroughly enjoy my trip when I know you are taking care of her.”
“This was my second booking with Brooke. Words cannot express how happy and satisfied we are with the love and care that she provides to our fur babies. They were relaxed and happy when we returned home from our trip. They have accepted Brooke has part of our family, so the transition for them when we go out of town is so easy for them. No more stressing for them when they see us taking suitcases downstairs because that means Brooke is coming! Brooke texted me every day sometimes twice a day to update me on them and sent me pictures nearly everyday. Highly recommend Brooke!”
About: I've grown up around animals since I was born. Now I have my own cat that I care for and she is extremely spoiled. I was the one in the family that trained, walked, and cared for our dogs. If you're looking for a sitter who will take the extra step with your loved ones, I am more than happy to spend time caring for your pets. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in or stay overnight with your pets. I can easily fit any time frame that works for you into my schedule. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and cleaning any sized dog or cat. With me watching your pets I can ensure that they are well cared for while you are away.
“I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!”
“Christina (Mary) was amazing! She sent plenty of cute pics and updates daily. She took the dogs on several walks and also played with them in the local tennis courts fetching the tennis ball. My house was better than when I left it, she even washed the dishes in the dishwasher! I would give her 10 stars if I could. It’s hard leaving pups with a new person the first time but I was never worried.”

Ja was incredible - truly the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! She was so responsive and responsible, gave so much love and attention to our cat and dog, left the house in beautiful condition, and asked excellent questions to make sure she could care for them as best as possible. We truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better - we will absolutely be asking her to sit again and again! She made herself available for us on short notice and our cat and dog immediately fell in love with her and had a blast! Thank you so much, Ja!
Joanne did a fantastic job watching our two large dogs for a week. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. It was if the dogs were on vacation with her. She gave them a ton of attention all day every day. We will be in contact with Joanne for further dog sitting activities.
Rosemary was fantastic. She arrived on time and spent some time reviewing instructions for our pup. Sent photos and videos. Very responsive to all texts and emails. Our dog was so happy to stay at home with someone who loves animals. It was evident when we returned that she was well cared for. We already booked Rosemary again!
Sharon is by far the best sitter that we have ever had-hands down! Sharon watched our home and pets for a week while we were away. From our initial introduction, Sharon was very responsive, professional, and very detail oriented. She asked several questions, and met with us and our pets prior to our leaving. We also have an elderly kitty with health issues, and Sharon made sure that she was well taken care of, and accommodated the kitty's additional needs. She sent us pictures daily, and kept in touch with us. She was very open with her questions and any observations she had of our animals and shared things she wanted us to be aware of. She is a true gem, and really loves animals. We feel very fortunate to have met her, and had her take care of our animals. We would highly recommend her.
Jake took such great care of our big lovable boy (145lb alaskan malamute) while we were out of state for a couple days. He sent us daily updates with pictures of our happy boy, which was so appreciated since this was our first time using a sitter. Amazing job!
Jacqueline was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond when we booked her to house sit our two cats for 4 nights. Everyday we got 3-4 updates and plenty of photos. During our booking, it was evident that our cats were happy, healthy, and receiving plenty of attention and playtime. Lastly, Jacqueline was great with administering oral medication and attentive when monitoring our cats’ health issues. This was our first house sitting booking, and we couldn’t be more complimentary. Seriously a weight off of our shoulders!
