“We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter than Crystal! She took such wonderful care of our home and, most importantly, our Frenchie while we were away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and she treated our pup like her own, giving us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos daily, which made being away so much easier. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for dog. We highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter!”


“After having a terrible experience with another sitter through Rover I cannot recommend Jeweliana & Riley enough!!!! They provided easy communication and lots of photos completely erasing the stress I normally feel when we are away from our pets on travel. We will definitely be using them again!!!”



“Johana was wonderful! She kept us updated with pictures, took great care of our fur babies and the house was in terrific shape when we got home. Will definitely book again!”


“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”


“Divina is truly the best! Took outstanding care of our elderly pup and home while we were away. Excellent communication, very tidy and went the extra mile to make sure our old man was comfortable throughout her stay. She exudes kindness and is clearly passionate about caring for animals. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“We had a great experience with Mandy! She stayed in our home for five nights to care for our pack—two dogs and two cats—and when we got home, everyone was happy, healthy, and well cared for. She sent frequent updates and tons of adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our home was in good shape when we returned, and we appreciated her thoughtfulness and communication throughout the stay. We’d work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter!”


“Rose stayed with our pets while we were gone for 7 days. Everything that we asked of was done and more! I would recommend Rose if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”


“Jamie was quick to fill in on a last minute request. She did a same day meet n greet and the dogs were immediately comfortable with her. She sent photos and updates the entire time she was housesitting with our 2 dogs and gave us peace of mind that they were in great hands while we traveled. Will be reaching out to her again when we travel.”

About: Pet sitting has always been a joyous hobby of mine, and I would love to take care of your animal. I have had pets my whole life, and have pet sat for many years. I’m primarily a student, and also work as a research assistant with one of my professors. My schedule is relatively open this semester though, and I should be able to adequately take care of any of your pets with ample attention given. I have a fenced in backyard, and a cat tower for any pets that come and stay in our home. I’m also happy to take any animals on walks.

“Laura K. was great she showed up on time, took care of my GiGi and her litter of 6. They were fed, given medication and my home was secured when I returned. She sent me updated and photos throughout her stay. I will call on her again, and again.”


“Roni was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend her. I have 2 large dobermans and she disciplined, cared and loved on them with ease. She is brilliant! She was constantly in contact with me sending images etc and she is a wonderful person.”


About: Hi, you are looking at a lifelong animal love who just quit her corporate job to love on dogs full time! 🥰 About me: active, healthy, woman in my mid 40s with lots of love to give. My mom raised maltese pups since I was a little kid. I raised my own mini dachshund since I was 18 who lived a full life until she crossed the rainbow bridge at 16.5 years old. I also had many cats and rescued a pup that wandered into our front yard. Dogs are MY life, so I happily welcomed Jaxie (mini dachshund) into my family in Feb '20. He is such a sweet boy - loves belly rubs, hunting lizards, and playing with all his furfriends. If you have a friendly pup who enjoys the company of another friendly pup, come on over! Your pup will have so much fun. Jaxie plays very nice (very submissive, is always on his back, even with chihuahuas) and loves to get chased and be chased. Jaxie is not food aggressive. And, he's not toy aggressive either - he loves sharing his many toys with his furfriends! Or, if your pup doesn’t want to play, Jaxie is great matching his energy level to other pups. We’ve had many older pups here where Jaxie leaves them alone out of respect. On the other hand, he’s also amazed pet parents by getting their older pups to play! My 24/7 job is to take care of your furbaby I'll be home with your furbaby all day, watching over them, snuggling them, and making sure they stay safe and enriched with playtime. We have lots of toys here! House is organized and clean at all times. My fiance is a firefighter who works 1 day on, 2 days off. As such, on his off days, he's home all day. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very small and quiet neighborhood. Backyard is fully fenced and backs up to a creek. No neighbors in the back. Whenever your pup is in the backyard, I am always out there. Your pup is never unattended outside. Your fur baby can sleep and hangout where ever they want (couch, bed, dog beds). If your dog loves walks, we'll go on walks. If your dog has a sweet tooth, we'll get pup cups! Or, if your fur baby just wants to chill, we can do that too! I sync my energy level to your dog's energy level. I do not take any other dogs during the same time period as I am caring for your pup. I can do drop in visits or walks if you live fairly close to me. Finally, I am a good communicator (can't you tell by this dissertation; ha!) and will send updates and pics at least 3 times a day. If you want less, just let me know. :) My daily routine revolves around my own dog, so rest assured your dog will be treated like family, and will be given the same amount of care and attention; dogs are #1 in my household! When I take care of your furbaby, ensuring your furbaby is happy, fulfilled, and loved is my number #1 goal! We can do meet and greets via Zoom or at my house. Your call!

“Sandra was fantastic! She and her daughter came by to meet my dogs, before they came to house and dog sit for me. My dogs took to then immediately. I appreciated how flexible ans communicative she was the weekend she watched them, which also happened to be the weekend I was getting married!”


About: Hi there! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience working at Pet Paradise and Dogtopia, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. On top of that, I’ve been a lifelong pet owner—dogs, cats, hamsters, and even snakes! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, your pets will always feel safe and loved with me. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I start and end my days with my own two cats, Anais and Cleo, so I’m already in the rhythm of feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or sitting, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I take extra care with things like locking up, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they’re comfortable in their own environment. You can trust that your home and pets will be safe and well cared for.

“Chrissy accepted a very last minute request to watch two of my dogs. She took time to do the meet and greet even though it was last minute. Chrissy was wonderful and will definitely recommend. You can tell she has a love of animals and that shows in how she cared for them. She communicated often and send lots of pics while we were away. Thank you Chrissy!”


“Vannia was awesome. I felt so comfortable knowing she was caring for my little girl, Piper. She is accommodating and communicates regularly. I will most definitely use her again.”


About: Hi there! I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, from energetic pups and cuddly cats to chatty parakeets and even a hedgehog or two! I’ve personally cared for 4 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 parakeets, providing each with a loving, attentive home. Over the years, I’ve also looked after countless pets for friends and family, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, or something in between, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I specialize in multi-pet households and understand how to balance different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime in the yard, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure each one feels safe, seen, and loved. With me, your pets get a caregiver who’s full of positive energy, patience, and a whole lot of heart. As someone who works part-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate a large portion of my day to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention, love, and activity they need to feel happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them like family. I always take time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide the most comfortable and familiar environment possible. In the client’s home, I stick closely to your instructions and your pet’s usual schedule, whether that means feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time with them. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your pets), and make sure everything is just as you left it.

About: I grew up in a pet friendly house since the age of 4. Me and my siblings had dreams of becoming vetnarians. I'm always home and spend that one on one with each pet individually. Getting them that attention is always priceless! I have a large front and back yard with room to run, large garage area that we are converting into room but currently serves well where dogs are allowed to be free to these play areas! Pets love the extra exercise! My pets are very comfortable with being in and out of the house they are fully aware that they are a part of the way I live everyday 🥰 I have pets of my own so it automatically becomes natural to have a routine with them they live inside so they routinely go out throughout the day at least 4 times as well as play time ☺️🥰

Sasha is so so lovely and really helped us out in a bind when both our dog sitters couldn’t come through.We met with Sasha a few days before we left and after meeting her I knew she’d be perfect. Our dog Murphy couldn’t have been in better hands and we felt so trusting of her taking care of him. She kept me updated and sent photos the whole time we were gone. Now Sasha has moved up to first on the list whenever we need someone to watch our sweet boy.
