Amanda just stayed at my home with my dogs and cats. One of my dogs is a senior and has special dietary needs/potty breaks and I was very nervous leaving him. Amanda sent pictures each day with updates on all the animals throughout the day which really eased my mind. By day 2, I no longer worried as I knew she had won them over and they were being loved and spoiled by Amanda. I will definitely be using her again! My babies loved her ♥️

Erin did an amazing job with our cat and house, she went over the top in taking care of both. She gave us both such a peace of mind, it made our trip even more enjoyable. Everything was well taken care of, and she was great to correspond with. She was great!

Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.

About: I've been a devoted dog parent to my own pup for 3 years, who truly means the world to me. Caring for her has taught me how important patience, gentleness, consistency, exercise, and affection are for a happy dog. I’ve also volunteered with rescue shelters and animal sanctuaries, helping care for dogs and supporting animals in need. Through those experiences, I’ve become comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Dogs have always had a special place in my life, and I treat every dog like family. Whether we’re out on an adventure or relaxing on the couch, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Flexible for your pup's needs. Hours of outside play time - including a morning walk, an afternoon trip to the park for running and playing, and an evening walk. Easily adjustable to your pup's energy level. My home is a calm and dog-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and playtime. I have a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. Dogs always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they're happy and comfortable.

I give Ben an A++. I couldn’t have asked for a better new buddy and caregiver for my fur babies. Ben’s calm and welcoming presence is exactly what my dog needed while I was away. I feel so much better knowing they are just as cared for and loved as when I am home.

I would highly recommend Brooke as a dog walker/pet sitter/ house sitter for anyone! I have a senior dog and 2 senior cats and she made an instant connection with all three. She followed all of my pet care instructions and “house rules” to a T. When we got home the house was spot less and it was like we never left. The pets were content and happy. I loved the routine updates and pictures that Brooke provided of our fur babies while we were out of town. I would give 10 stars but 5 is the max :D

Isabel is an amazing Rover!!! We hired her to house sit our anxious dog, Honey, for the first time while we took a 5 day vacation. Isabel was very flexible, stayed with us the evening prior to us leaving to get Honey acclimated and was extremely patient with Honey while we were away. They became BFFs after the second day and we were at ease on our vacation. Isabel is detail oriented, conscientious and took good care of both our home and Honey. We are hoping to book Isabel for our future vacations and day trips.

Christina was great. We have three unique personality dogs. A 15 year old chi, a new rescue goldendoodle with some trust issues and an 100lbs energetic Doberdoodle. I missed them so much but our vacation was better with morning and evening pics and messages ensuring us our babies were safe and happy. Highly recommend.

I cannot express how much I appreciate her care for my elderly dog. My poor dog was just prescribed some medicine that he needed to take as well and she handled everything. I was recently gone for 10 days and she managed to keep all my outdoor plants alive! That is not an easy task.

As a nervous first-time cat mom, I was reluctant to hire a stranger to stay at my home with my adolescent fur baby. Fortunately, I found Brooke. Brooke is kind, attentive, considerate and capable. She responded quickly to multiple check-ins and was clearly interested in making sure she provided continuity of care. I returned to a happy cat and a spotless home. Brooke is the consummate professional and a genuinely kind human. I intend to rebook in the very near future.

Erin is an exceptional dog sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She takes wonderful care of my dog, Roxie, and always treats her as if she were her own. Erin keeps Roxie on her normal schedule, takes her on several walks each day, and makes sure all of her needs are met. It's such a comfort knowing Roxie is in caring, capable hands whenever I'm away. Erin is dependable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Roxie is always happy, well cared for, and comfortable when she's with Erin. I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention she provides. If you're looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter, Erin is the best!
