1. Alicia R.

“Alicia was fantastic with our dogs. We are always nervous to leave them because one of our dogs is reactive, but Alicia put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our trip. She took great care of our home and communicated with us during our time away. We will always check with her anytime we need a sitter.”

15. Preslee L.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was around 10-11 years old. Trust me to take care of your fur (or fur less) babies! I’m currently working the weekends at a local vet hospital. I can check in on your pets anytime during the week or before and after my shift! I can offer just as little as feeding/watering but can also take your babies on walks, offer to stay the night for your pet, anything is fine with me!


16. Gisela A.

“Gisela was amazing! She was very professional, sent lots of pictures and kept in touch often. Our dogs got spoiled rotten by her. She left our house cleaner than when she got here. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!”


17. Cindy H.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to find loving, quality care for your little one! I also understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your guy or gal in the care of someone else. I’ll work with you to customize care, companionship, and communication to make sure both you and your furry friend feel completely at ease! I am experienced with older and younger animals, medication administration and special needs animals. For all services - drop ins, house sitting and dog walking services - you can look forward to regular updates, and pictures while your little one looks forward to playtime, massages, and snuggles! I’ll take care of your little one as if they are my own. Unfortunately, I no longer offer boarding services. One of my guys is getting older, is easily injured and a bit impatient! :) I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. Unfortunately, I no longer offer boarding services due to the needs of my older dog Giggs. He gets stressed easily and has knee and back issues from time to time.


18. emma p.

“Emma did a great job with our three kitties. We have used a Rover to watch them twice previously and this was far and away our best experience. She even left notes about what had been done for the cats each day (feedings, changing water, scooping the boxes, etc) and really made us feel like the cats had a great time even though we were away for a few days. We would highly recommend Emma and would definitely book her services again in the future!”


19. Leslie H.
“Leslie has cared for my lab Flash several times, including over night. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Leslie took such great care of Flash. She is always professional, kind, and she clearly loves animals. Flash is usually shy around new people, but Leslie made Flash feel comfortable right away. Leslie provided regular updates, including photos and videos, so I always knew Flash was happy and well cared for. I will absolutely be booking Leslie again in the future and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

“We have very busy lives and needed some help. Raiden is a responsible resource for our dogs and we truly appreciate his help and dedication to our animals!”
