“Mirren was amazing with our senior dog and young kitten. Both pets were very happy with her and she was an amazing house sitter. Very respectful, on time, and gave us plenty of updates. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“She's amazing. Very punctual and professional. Got along great with my dog, and took excellent care of my pet and my living space (including some cleaning!) 10/10 couldn't recommend more strongly.”
“I am so lucky to have found Lauren. She is so good with my dog who has a lot of separation anxiety but he quickly warmed up to her wonderful personality and is so comfortable with her. I can’t praise her enough. She always keeps me updated and will continue to be our #1 go to :)”
“Extremely professional and very quick to bond with my fur babies. She was fortunately able to watch my animals on very short notice. House was left in pristine condition. I received great updates and pictures/videos. I would absolutely hire Kayla again!”
“Sarah was a fantastic sitter from start to finish. We've had some terrible experiences with sitters over the years, so we know (and appreciate!) a good one when we find one. From my first interaction with Sarah, she was responsive, professional, and very pleasant. She took excellent care of our 3 dogs and older cat. They are a cute crew- but a lot of work! Sarah made it look easy, and she left our home in great shape too. Highly recommend!”
“Kymberlee did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. She even won over our anxious dog very quickly. Kymberlee was extremely communicative before and during her stay. We will absolutely use her again.”
“Fernanda was so helpful! We booked her last minute before a trip out of town for Memorial Day and she was able to accommodate us and stay at our own home with our two pups. She’s so responsive and gives updates every day. We are so glad to find someone who we can use in the future!”
“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
“Amazing! Kai took such great care of my dog; gave him a ton of attention and took him out to meet his family which was very sweet. Rio seemed to have a blast with him, I will absolutely be using Kai again in the future. Thank you!”
“Christina was amazing! She was attentive and helpful from the very first contact. She was sweet with my dogs, sent photos, and took perfect care of them. We hope to count on her care again in the future. Thank you, Christina!”
“Kaylee is amazing! Moosha loves her, and she’s so easy to work with. She gives updates with fun photos and is just generally a good person. And I’ve been burned before with dog sitters, so my trust doesn’t come easy. But I trust my gut. I’ll definitely be a returning client.”
About: I’m a caring person that loves playing and give love to the pets in general. Also I’m a clean person that always keep organized the areas that the pet were using. My schedule is Monday to Friday 6am to 8pm And weekends I have basically free all day to pet sit in general. I’m very flexible person. I usually follow the instructions that the parent pet gave to me prior to the care.I treat them kindly and with the respect animals also deserves.
“Korrey did such a good job with our dog. He focused on putting her at ease, and prioritized her comfort and keeping her on schedule. We really appreciated that Korrey was so communicative with issues and questions. We came home to a happy dog and a pristine house, so we'd gladly work with Korrey again!”
“Rebecca was great with our dog Nala! She watched her for a week while we were out of town. Rebecca was communicative and up front about her schedule so we could make sure it aligned with our needs. She sent picture updates and our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. We will reach out to Rebecca again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Claudia was extremely generous with her time on short notice to watch my high-energy pup. She was extremely communicative, and went above and beyond to check in with updates and activities. I came home to a very content dog! Book with confidence.”
About: I've been around pets my entire life. I grew up with at least two dogs in the household at all times and have learned to care for them as puppies until it was their time to go. I am often asked to care for family and friends' animals I work remote full time, so my availability is open. I can be available on short notice for anything from a simple walk around the neighborhood to overnight care. Like humans, pets have their personalities, and I will be sure to care for them. If they are energetic and love to play, so am I. If they are in their senior years, I will tend to their needs and give them what they need and deserve.
“My dog Mila has a new friend :) Molly took great care of her and my home! She asked good questions on our initial walkthrough, and sent frequent updates and photos. I would be happy to hire her again.”
“Adelia was extremely communicative and provided updates on Mookie throughout her stay. She was great about maintaining his everyday routine, including managing his separation anxiety medication. I’d highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Katelyn has watched our two dogs twice and she was excellent both times! She is very communicative, sends a lot of photos and the dogs feel very comfortable with her. We would love to have her watch them again!”
“Mark watched our two dogs for a week and was fantastic. We have great communication and daily pictures of the dogs. Mark also treated our home with respect and was completely professional.”

Fernanda was amazing with my pup Kali! She asked many questions and cared for my pup very well. Kali is a senior with on and off bladder issues and Fernanda was kind and helpful through it all. I got regular updates and photos and came back to a very happy and relaxed pup 😌I highly recommend Fernanda!!
We booked Ella last min due to our previous Rover sitter canceling the night before our trip. This is the first time we booked a sitter without having met them prior, so I was a bit nervous. Ella was fantastic, the dogs loved her immediately, she was punctual and kept to their routine/schedule as closely as possible, and provided many updates throughout the week. Would book again!
We are so grateful Tim was able to housesit and take care of our dog. He was very friendly and kind with us and was attentive to our dog the whole time. Tim also communicated effectively with us while we were away. As a bonus, Tim takes really good dog photos! Highly recommend
Sabrina was absolutely amazing! Bella clearly loved her, and I could tell she was very well cared for while I was away. Sabrina provided detailed updates and sent plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she took the time to get to know Bella and make her feel comfortable. Bella can be particular at times, but Sabrina handled everything wonderfully. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Highly recommend Lily! She was very patient with my nervous dog, sent tons of updates, and was very communicative and conscientious. Finn had a great weekend with her, and I had absolutely no worries about him while we were gone because I knew he was in good hands. She also took exceptional care of our house and left it very clean and tidy.
Abby was amazing. I was very nervous about getting a pet sitter we didn't know for our dog but she was incredibly reassuring and very patient with Marly (our dog), who can be nervous around strangers. She gave updates and pictures throughout the days on how Marly was doing and had no issues with walking her (she can be reactive). I have absolutely no complaints and would hire Abby again.
Drew was fantastic with our pets! He cared for both our dog and cat like they were his own. He also took great care of our house, leaving it in even better condition than we left it. He was thoughtful and responsive to all of our and out pets’ needs. I’d definitely recommend him!
I may regret saying this because it could make it harder to book him in the future, but I can’t say enough good things about Leo! He was punctual, communicative, flexible, and genuinely kind throughout the entire experience. He has a calm, friendly nature that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. My Ollie is still generally cautious around strangers, but with Leo it was completely different. The moment Ollie spotted him from a distance, he was excited instead of fearful. He immediately approached him with confidence and comfort, which is incredibly rare for him. Watching that instant connection gave me complete peace of mind. It’s not often you find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but who also has such a natural connection with animals. I would absolutely trust Leo with Ollie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
