“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”

“The best Rover sitter I have had. Communicative, clean, great with Gertie, and an all around kind, responsible, and trustworthy person. Thank you Acacia! It means the world to me 🥰”


“Carole and Max are amazing. The last time she sat for me, I had two dogs. Sadly, I had to put one of them down and Carole and Max left me a framed photo on my beloved Sequoia. Their thoughtfulness meant the world to me and I know my dog Miley was well cared for.”

“Alex stayed at our house with our dog and cat for 3 nights and she was amazing. Super communicative, I loved all of her updates and pictures. I was never once worried about them! She was very respectful of our home - it looked just like we left it. We will definitely request Alex again for our next trip!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.”

“While Evita watched our pup Molly overnight at our house, she was punctual and communicated well. She also took Molly on a nice long walk each day that pleasantly tuckered her out. Molly seemed calm and happy when we returned home.”

“Keisha was amazing! She helped us out when another sitter cancelled. She took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away! She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and kept us posted the whole weekend! She truly understood and embraced my dog’s personalities! I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“Catherine did a wonderful job house sitting. She took attentive care of our two dogs and cat. She provided great updates and our dogs looked so happy in every picture. We had total peace of mind with Catherine watching our home.”

“Jessica has taken care of our cats, pup, and home while we’re traveling multiple times. She is such a wonderful sitter, and we’re really grateful to have found her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and wonderful to work with!”
“Mikalanne is wonderful with my pets, all senior with lots of needs. Recently had an extended trip and she did a wonderful job. It is rare to find someone to extend themselves as much as she did for caring for their needs.”

“Ashley was So responsive and Wonderful with my boys! Thankful she was able to watch them in their house!! Will definitely book again if she is willing to watch them!!”

“Madeline house sat for me for over a week and did a great job with my timid Chihuahua and Cat. She gave me daily updates and handled their daily routine and activity needs effortlessly. My dog who's slow to warm up to new people was actually sad to see her leave by the end of the sitting period. Highly recommended.”

“Jackie was amazing with the dogs and you could tell by how calm they were when I got home that they had a great weekend. I would recommend and will have her watch my dogs again.”

About: I am a former dog handler that worked at a doggy day care where I cared for multiple dogs daily, managing different temperaments and energy levels. I’m experienced in supervising play, maintaining safety, and keeping dogs calm, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also owned dogs and cats in my lifetime as well! Genuinely an animal lover. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends. I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow routines closely, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

“Rebecca was phenomenal with my little critters! Excellent communication throughout the week and she was able to adjust last minute to needing to give my dog extra TLC and medication. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”

“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”

“Melissa watched my kittens for five days while I was away and she was absolutely great! Very dependable and provided updates. She sent me photos and was a great communicator. She took excellent care of my kittens and home. I had peace of mind while away from them for the first time while they were in Melissa’s care. I highly recommend her and I’d love to have her care for them again in the future. Thanks Melissa!”

Michaela did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats! With two different diets and varying levels of pickiness, they can be a little difficult to manage when we’re out of town—but she handled it perfectly! And, very communicative with updates provided while we were away. We came home to bird TV playing for our cats, which was such a considerate touch!

Lily absolutely exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail, genuine care and concern for my pups, and thoroughness! My dogs were well taken care of with feeding, walking (carefully in a heat wave), fireworks, and just general companionship. I also returned to my home probably looking better than how I left it - well cared for, cleaned, and plants alive and well. The daily updates were fantastic and very reassuring. Lily is amazing and I hope we can book again :)

Travis took incredible care of our two dogs and handled a genuinely chaotic situation with so much calm and flexibility. The night before we left, our AC failed during a heat wave. While we were stuck across the country juggling an HVAC company and a landlord who wasn’t prioritizing the issue at all, Travis kept the dogs safe, comfortable, and monitored. He checked in regularly so we knew how they were doing, and he adjusted his schedule so repairs could be made. His support made a huge difference for our peace of mind during a very stressful situation for us and I’m sure him. One of our dogs is anxious, skittish, and extremely high‑energy, and Travis did an amazing job letting her warm up at her own pace while still getting her out for consistent walks. Both dogs were well cared for the entire stay. We’re so grateful for how he handled everything and will absolutely book with him Again. Thank you Travis!

Riley was wonderful with our boys. They are relatively recent rescues, so have some behavioral quirks. Riley quickly sussed out how to approach the boys. She sent regular updates and photos, which I so appreciated!! I wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with Rocky and Gordo anytime!

Jackie was amazing with my French Bulldog, Hazel. I was out of the country for a week and she stayed at my condo with Hazel. She sent me updates throughout the day and kept Hazel active, which I love. I would highly recommend Jackie for your dog sitting needs and will definitely use her again.

Laura was absolutely wonderful and my dog, Rocky, seemed very happy to be with her while we were gone! I reached out to Laura last minute when my other arrangement fell through. We squeezed in two meet and greets within a week just to be sure Rocky was a good fit for her and vice versa. She took notes and really listened to all of the info I shared about Rocky’s needs, quirks, etc. I felt very confident in leaving him with Laura and having her stay at our home. She sent a daily update with a few photos each day, and Rocky was happy as a clam playing, snuggling, and walking to the park with her. I highly recommend Laura and plan to have her stay with Rocky again later this summer!

Marilia was wonderful! Our cat, Zoe, was clearly in highly experienced, responsible, and caring hands. Marilia kept in close touch with any questions that came up and send regular updates. The entire experience gave us great peace of mind and we hope to hire Marilia for future cat-care needs.
