“Libah was amazing! During our meet and greet, she asked questions and took notes to make sure Trix was given the best care. She made sure to use Trix’s routine to ensure her happiness. Libah was great with communication while I was gone. I never had to worry about what was happening at home.”

“Delia was wonderful with my dog, Haze, during her house sitting. Haze can be nervous around new people, but opened up to Delia instantly. Delia sent me tons of pictures throughout her stay, and is super patient, kind, and understanding with animals. I trust her whole heartedly!!”

“Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!”

“Vanessa provided the ultimate pet & house sitting service with overnight stays for our eight year old blue pit bull, Gunner. She took great care in feeding and giving supplements and medication as needed. Her reliable punctuality and communication were key to our successful trip by allowing for any unexpected delays with a backup plan. Her forte was the cheerful affection she relayed to Gunner as a playmate and her innate ability to make him feel happy that he would be well cared for while we were away. The daily pictures we received stated it all. We were grateful and blessed to have found her.”

“Helena was excellent with our two animals, Harley and Rocky. She took pictures of them and gave us updates while we were away. Harley is an anxious dog but warmed up to Helena very quickly. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets.”

“Devynn house/dog sat for my fiancé and I while we were out of town for the weekend, and had a wonderful experience. She sent us tons of pictures and updates, and was very responsive to my messages. Will definitely be asking her to come back again 😊”
“Amber was fantastic! She spent a whole weekend with my little Oliver. She taught him new tricks, gave him new toys and most importantly loved on our pup for three days! I am so thankful I found her. She was a perfect fit for us!!”

“Our dog LOVED Christine and I don’t think he wanted her to leave at the end of her stay! She is an enthusiastic, energetic, and very responsible dog sitter who listened carefully to information about our pup. Christine also left our house spotless. Highly recommend!”

“Erin was great! Very easy to deal with and responsible. She has a good personality and really connected quickly with our dogs. She sent updates throughout the days and sent a video of the dogs having fun!! We will use her again!”

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”

With over seven years of Rover experience, I know that leaving your furry family behind can feel like leaving a piece of your heart.

I always schedule a meet and greet with my clients so I can meet you and your dog, learn their routines, and how to provide the best care per your preference.
“My impression is that dogs love being around Sam. Sam is very reliable, accommodating and responsible person. Also she has great understanding of pet’s needs and takes actions accordingly. It’s a fantastic quality when you can be sure that dog sitter would be able to anticipate your pet needs when you are away.”

“Nicole did an amazing job watching after our little guy. He has a lot of social anxiety but warmed right up to Nicole which put our minds at rest. Nicole went above and beyond our expectations by keeping us informed with pictures and updates. Nicole left our house very clean. I wish I could give a 10 star review instead of 5. We are very excited to work with Nicole in the future and can't recommend her enough.”

“Michaela took great care of my babies while I was away for the weekend! I had to tell her the day she was arriving that one of my dogs needed meds as a result of an appt that morning and she happily administered her meds! She sent photos and updates and I never worried about their care while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Michaela for future services.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for the past two years for my friends. I walk the dogs and also just hang out and play with them, and keep them company. I am retired and volunteer when I can at Cat Depot. Would welcome the opportunity to care for any fur babies. I can be very flexible with my schedule. At your home I will walk, play with and stay overnight as needed. I welcome the opportunity to love your fur babies as much as you do.

“I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.”
