“Jennifer demonstrated exceptional punctuality and commitment to her pet-sitting duties over the weekend. Unlike some sitters who overextend themselves by juggling multiple clients, Jennifer focused solely on this job, ensuring that the pets received her full attention and care. Her dedication and reliability are commendable and set a standard for quality service.”
“Stephanie took good care of my older dog, making sure she got her daily walk and arthritis meds. Also, when she stayed at my house, she kept it clean and was respectful of the space. I would definitely hire again.”
“It was such a pleasure having Oline watch my pack overnight. She has such a calm and serene presence that it didn’t take long for them to match her energy. Also, this woman takes FABULOUS pictures! I’m going to frame some. Thank you again, Oline ❤️”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life as I have grown up with them. I love animals and enjoy getting to know their personality. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and keep owners updated with lots of photos. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so it's an easy and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I intentionally leave flexibility in my schedule to accommodate visits, walks, and quality time with the pets I care for. I am going to college in late August and will not be available to sit past then. By making sure all their needs are met and doing everything the owner asks me to do. I do my best to maintain the pets normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Hailey was so good with both of our fur babies. She sent daily picture updates as well as any other updates that were needed. I know both our girls were happy to spend the weekend with her! She's great with both cats and dogs, and takes great care of the house. Even offered to stay longer when we thought we were going to have major flight delays.”
“Matthew came and stayed with my senior dog and cat. They both loved him! I got loads of pictures and had a strong sense of comfort that the pets were being well cared for! He is great!”
“Molly was absolutely amazing. She communicated clearly and provided daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also fully prepared to administer medications to our two senior dogs without any issues. All of our babies clearly loved her, and we came home to a clean house and happy, healthy pets. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided! 🐾”
“Jill was AMAZING!! She took the time to get to know our tiny nugget and the nuances with her and our cat. She communicated wonderfully and we were THRILLED with our first experience with Rover and Jill. We will reach out again. Thank you!!”
“Jasmine took great care of my dog and cat for 4 days in our home! She followed my extremely detailed instructions to a T and she updated me often during the day with photos, and answered my questions and requests as they came. Amazing communication and consideration of our home. My cat did end up escaping for a few hours when Jasmine was packing up to leave the last day. I reviewed our outdoor camera footage and it was exactly as she described, purely an accident and a split second when my cat bolted out the door to the garage while the garage door was open when she was packing up her belongings. She stayed behind and put food out and continued to try to lure him back. Thankfully he was a previous neighborhood stray so he didn’t go too far, and when we got home I caught him while he was eating the food that was set outside. Jasmine even offered to give me a refund but we refused because this was an accident that could have happened to us too! I trust her 100% with my animals and will continue to book her for future stays. Thanks again Jasmine!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for about two years now. I first started when my roommate left for Korea for about a month. I've always had an affinity towards dogs so taking care of his dog made me want to take care of other dogs as well. Ever since then, I've been able to take care of 8 other dogs. Whether it be playing with your pets or walking them around or going potty, I have everything covered! I have time to take care of your pets on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between the times of 10:30 AM-1 PM and 3:30-7 PM. Also, Saturdays I am free until 6 PM. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and lots of attention. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Rhonda was great as a sort of last minute booking as our usual dog sitter was unable to watch them. She sent pictures of the babies! She even clipped our cats “murder mittens” as we completely forgot to do that before we left. The animals seemed to love her and she took care of our home! 10/10 recommended!”
“Erin was fantastic. She was very responsible with handling the duties of our senior dogs. She was patient getting one of our pups to warm up to her. She followed all of the instructions that I left and was very communicative. We will definitely use her again!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristie! She took absolutely incredible care of our three dogs and treated them like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. Kristie also looked after our home with the same level of care and attention. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it when we returned. On top of that, she was unbelievably flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed at the last minute. She handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and zero stress. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets and home, Kristie is the absolute best. We would recommend her without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again!”
“Alex was a great sitter for Winston and Simba! She communicated really well leading up to and throughout the sit. We’re so happy that Winston had someone to take him on walks and play games to keep him stimulated while we were away. Thanks for taking great care of our boys!”
“Nicole was amazing with our dog and cat! We were gone for 2 weeks and she took care of our fur babies and our house. We would give her 10 stars if possible! Definitely will need her help again in the future.”
“Jessica was amazing with our dogs. She was very patient With our great dane who is not sure of new people sometimes. Both are our dogs were calm and happy when we came back which shows what a great job jessica did. She Followed all the house and dog instructions and we would hire her again in future for our pups. She was a delight to work with.”
“Lyn was great! Jumped into what could have been a very chaotic housing situation from an unplanned/unexpected event and just rolled with it. Wasn't phased at all. I appreciated her updates and the fact that my elderly pups were being taken care of by someone who so obviously loved fur babies. They may not play but they love their people. Thanks Lyn! and until next time :-D”
About: Fortunately I have a circle of friends who are also pet owners, because of this I have been given the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs. As a pet owner myself, I have seen everything under the sun when it comes to pet care. I am a copywriter who works from home so I am available to care for your bet. Also, your pet is probably going to help me look away from the screen :) From the 2 senior chihuahuas I have, to my past experience in caring for other people's pets, I feel comfortable caring for many different animals no matter the size. From pitbulls, to yorkies, and even cats. As someone with 2 senior pets, no task is too big or too tedious!

Maria was great with our babies. She shared sweet pictures and was super communicative with us while we were gone. One of our girls can get really nervous when it’s stormy, and she did a great job working with her. We appreciated her patience and understanding. We would gladly use Maria again!
Angela was amazing with our pups, especially one that is very anxious. She knew exactly what to do to keep her feeling comfortable and provided plenty of updates while we were gone. She even bought them some treats and left the house in fantastic shape. She came early and stayed late when our travel plans changed. Her flexibility is unmatched and we are very thankful for her!
Entrusted Shelbi to house-sit for 16 days as well as care for a Yorkie puppy and mini-Schnauzer. Both dogs had recently been to boot camp and we needed someone that would continue to training routine (including training collars) on walks and around the back yard. Came home to two happy pups who had retained their boot camp training. Shelbi and her helper left the house in great shape and posted numerous photos for us each day. Great care, great communication - I highly recommend Shelbi.
Lina took care of my dog and cat for two weeks while I was away, and I’m very grateful for all her help. She was sweet, caring, communicative, and clearly gave my pets a lot of attention and love while I was gone. My dog can be a little anxious and high maintenance at times, and she was very patient with him throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing my babies were safe and cared for. Thank you again, Lina 😊
Janelle was absolutely amazing! She kept me consistently updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy Nyx struggles with separation anxiety, and Janelle handled it with so much care, patience, and understanding. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Nyx and my other dog Eros were comfortable and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Janelle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter.
Reem was absolutely fantastic. She took wonderful care of our 3-year-old golden retriever, and he was happy and clearly well looked after when we returned. She also did an excellent job with our home, leaving everything in perfect order. Her communication throughout the stay was clear, consistent, and reassuring. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation without any worries, knowing everything was in great hands. Reem truly went above and beyond, and we would happily book her again. Highly recommend!
Desirae is a dream pet sitter. She kept my two huskies for a week, and she took time twice prior to my leaving town to come over for a meet and greet and to make sure she understood how to work one of the collars. She was in touch daily for a quick check in, and I arrived home to very content dogs and a very clean house (she even wiped down and tidied my fridge!). Very much appreciate her & definitely recommend her for in home dog sitting.
Jaxon was awesome, he stayed at our house for several nights and watched our 9-year-old golden retriever, as well as our 6-month-old puppy. He was responsible, polite, neat, great with the boys, and they seemed very happy upon our return. I would highly recommend using him for pet sitting!
