“Ellie was amazing! She took Taffy on all kinds of little adventures and sent me the cutest pictures. She was super communicative and I could tell Taffy had a great time without me because she’s already went back to sleep and I just got home. Thank you Ellie!”

“Brianna was amazing with our dogs and she knew what she was doing. She kept us updated and was able to manage unexpected behavior from one of our dogs. She was fantastic.”


“Heather is above and beyond awesome. She stayed with my 2 dogs and 1 cat overnight for 10 days and took exceptional care of the pets as well as the home and plants. I really appreciated her twice daily communication with the most adorable photo updates and that she was always punctual and followed through exactly as she promised. I came home to find very happy pets who were obviously loved on so well. Heather was also flexible and kind when I alerted her to my partner swinging by to mow the lawn or grab something. Highest recommendation for her services!”


“Diamond was amazing! She is kind and patient, and has wonderful positive energy, and a bright personality. Thank you for being patient with my girl, and giving her a chance to get to know you. She’s already walked into the guest room multiple times looking for you. Lol It’s hard for me to trust her with just anyone, but you did such a wonderful job with her, that I can’t wait to book you again! A thousand thanks from me and Duchess. 🫶🏼”

“Kayla is a wonderful pet sitter. My older poodle girl is hesitant to meet people, but from the moment Lyla saw Kayla it was instant acceptance. She knew she could trust her. Kayla communicated with us often. She was responsible and loving towards Lyla. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Kayla. We appreciate the support you gave to Lyla and us.”

“Ally was great! Teddy can definitely be a handful at times, but she managed well by looking after him. Jack usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but with Ally, he opened up so quickly it felt like they had known each other forever. Ally is reliable and trustworthy which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, she tidied up around the house and even offered to help with more before she left. I would highly recommend Ally to any and all pet owners.”

“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

“Lidia was perfect for my 3 weeks away in Asia. I have a senior Shih tzu and need someone who can stay in my house so that it is most comfortable for my aging dog. Lidia sent me photos and videos almost daily and my sweet Lulu looked so happy with her temporary mom that she became Lulu’s step mama! Lidia also has a small senior dog that stayed over and kept Lulu company. The two of them together were adorable. I will continue booking Lidia. She was more than what I imagined. My time away was completely stress free knowing my baby was happy and cared for.”

About: I grew up with three family dogs, Oso, Manchas, and Spike. I was involved in raising Manchas and Spike, cared for, and helped with end of life care for all three. I've walked everything from small doggies to a 90 lb Labrador Retriever, so I'm comfortable with a range of sizes and energy levels. I've also spent time around dogs who are selective with other dogs or guard food and toys, so I know how to stay alert and keep everyone safe. I work for a disaster recovery non-profit that is 90% WFH. Aside from a couple of set meetings, my schedule is often pretty flexible, nights and weekends included. I take my cues from the pet in front of me. I’m patient and can adapt to their moods. I’m good at respecting their boundaries as well as the parent’s boundaries.
“Kendall was absolutely fantastic. She house sitted for our American Akita while we were out of the country, which is no easy feat. American Akitas are very large dogs, and notoriously difficult to open up to people they don’t know. Within 10 minutes of meeting Kendall, all of my concerns were extinguished. She’s highly professional, great with communication, and has “the touch”, where my introverted girly was best friends with her the second they met. I undoubtedly will be hiring Kendall for any future needs, and any other owner with large dog breeds, especially shy ones, should as well.”


“Sandi was an absolute godsend!! I’ve never left my pups alone with someone in my apartment and she alleviated everything single concern I had! Sent me all the pictures (some of which are truly professional quality) kept me updated and truly loved my dogs like they were her own. She also picked up and cleaned my apartment better than I had left it. I could NOT recommend Sandi more - now words to express how happy I am with everything!”


“Gladiola was great! Very communicative, reliable, and great with my cat and dog. I got loads of pictures, regular updates, and both pets were well taken care of. I'd be happy to have her petsit again next time I'm out of town.”


“Molly was very communicative and loving with my pup! She handled lots of medicines like a champ. I’m so grateful to Molly for looking after my girl while I was out of town.”

“Jayla is a fantastic dog sitter! We had to leave our pup for close to 2 weeks and Jayla took good care of him and made sure he was happy and cozy while we were away! She sent us pictures of him every day and did an amazing job maintaining his routine. We're so grateful for her excellent care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, responsive, and caring pet sitter!”

“Marilyn was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. From the very beginning, she communicated exceptionally well, was incredibly organized, and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I have a senior Chihuahua who requires a lot of patience, understanding, and personal space, and Marilyn took the time to learn his personality and understand what he was comfortable with rather than trying to rush the process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making him feel safe and secure. She kept me updated, was attentive to his needs, and handled him with so much patience and kindness. Knowing he was with someone who respected his boundaries and took the time to earn his trust gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marilyn did an outstanding job, and I would absolutely book with her again.”

“Hannah saved the day for me this past weekend and was able to pet sit for my cat and foster kittens at the last minute. Hannah went above and beyond to make sure that all three kitties were happy and well-taken care of - she even cleaned up when the kittens made their own mess and washed their bowls and plates. She was communicative, flexible, and understanding. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to make sure that their pets are in safe hands.”

“Deanna did an amazing job looking after our home and our animals while we were away. She looked after them like they were her own. Lots of communication and updates throughout our trip let us know things were well taken care of at home. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”

Absolutely amazing sitter. She took incredible care of both our dog and my cat, and it showed the moment we got home they were calm, happy, and clearly well‑loved. She sent consistent updates, photos, and made sure we never had to wonder how they were doing. My dog can be a little anxious, and he bonded with her immediately. My cat, who’s usually picky about people, was obsessed with her. The house was spotless when we returned, the pets’ routines were followed perfectly, and she went above and beyond in every way. We will definitely book her again without hesitation.

Heather is above and beyond awesome. She stayed with my 2 dogs and 1 cat overnight for 10 days and took exceptional care of the pets as well as the home and plants. I really appreciated her twice daily communication with the most adorable photo updates and that she was always punctual and followed through exactly as she promised. I came home to find very happy pets who were obviously loved on so well. Heather was also flexible and kind when I alerted her to my partner swinging by to mow the lawn or grab something. Highest recommendation for her services!

Angelica was a dream sitter. She texted every day with updates, some days multiple times, just to set our minds and hearts at ease. We have two dogs with disparate temperaments and needs and she really nailed it with both of them -- keeping our high-energy 1-year-old blue heeler-mix on the move while letting our skittish pug-mix warm up slooowly. In the past I've had sitters who never made any connection or progress with our pug-mix during a 10 day stay away and I was really grateful to Angelica for being patient while still building a bond (not just giving up/being passive). We came home to our house just as we left it and she even picked up some. We are really grateful for her and would absolutely book her again.

Karli was wonderful from start to finish. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my little cat while I was out of town. My apartment was in immaculate shape when I came back home as well. Definitely recommend her and plan on using her again in the future!

Jayla was awesome! She picked up our booking on super short notice when our other sitter cancelled on us at the very last minute. She took fantastic care of the dogs and was extremely graceful and responsive when our dog had a health emergency. She left the house even cleaner than she found it. 10/10. Would certainly recommend!

Samuel was amazing, I don’t think I’ll use any other rover than this guy again! He sent photos of my dog Apache frequently, made him feel right at home and was super responsive. He was also flexible to my trip dates changing. Easy to work with. Really happy and grateful I sound Samuel!

Ruth did a fantastic job dog-sitting our two dogs and taking care of house while we were out of town for several days. She did a great job communicating and sending updates. We knew the dogs were in great hands. I would highly recommend her and will definitely look to have her stay at our home for future trip!

Ashlyn was so so amazing with all of our dogs! We loved having her stay for the in-house boarding. We were gone for a four day trip to CA. She was super tidy, and cleaned our house very well before she left. She sent us updates along with pictures and videos everyday, which we loved. It was so nice to come home to a nice clean home and happy pups! We will definitely be rebooking with her for our next trip, and highly recommend her care! 😊

Ashley was amazing! We needed someone to watch our puppy at the last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She kept us updated throughout his stay with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he was well cared for and in great hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Jasmeen is amazing and I strongly recommend! Was able to help me out last minute which is alway nice. She still made time to meet up beforehand and was super communicative everyday of watching Cody. My dog is also pretty shy/anxious, but he warmed up very quickly to her and I don’t doubt that wasn’t partly due to the way she was able to meet him where he was at and not rush him during the initial meeting. Again, she was such a great sitter!

I couldn’t recommend her more highly! She took such great care of my dog while I was away. He’s usually quite nervous around new people, but he took to her immediately, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout my trip. She sent plenty of updates and photos, so I always knew he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. She also treated my home with so much care. I came back to a spotless apartment, and she had even washed and changed the bed sheets, which was such a thoughtful touch after travelling. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of both my dog and my home.
