Jenn was an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter for our two golden retrievers. Her attention and care for them was amazing, and her check ins with updates and pictures gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she truly cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!!! I'd give her 6 stars if I could!

Katie is a wonderful sitter and walker! She is clear and prompt with communication and very helpful with answering the myriad of questions you may have, and asks good questions in return. Katie provides a wonderful energy that was easy for our girl to warm to, and we felt very taken care of with the care she offered our pup! We'll most certainly be contacting Katie again - highly recommended :)

Michael watched our 3 dogs and 2 cats in our home - which is a lot! He was extremely responsive, respectful of our home, and attentive to the pets. He took them out on walks multiple times a day. And his ability to be with the pets almost 24/7 was a huge perk. Will absolutely be booking with him again!

Wow!! We have been using Rover for 10 years and Megan is our first "perfect" sitter. She is super communicative, sends pictures with excellent little daily write ups that arent too short or too invasively long/frequent, and followed our instructions to a T. My neighbor even remarked that my dog seemed happy and content when she spotted them walking the lake together. I came home to a perfectly clean house - Megan had even washed and remade the guest bed and laid out her clean towels! The house also smelled heavenly with the dinner she had made before I arrived home; she must be a great cook. Even my plants had all thrived and seemed to be very happy and growing. If the plants are happy too, you know that you found a gem! ;) Not once did Megan call or text me with an emergency or needing help with small little idiosyncrasies when staying in a new home. She was incredibly self sufficient, reliable, and respectful of my home - but also great about communicating her needs upfront during our consultation, or asking permission via text while I was away. Truly a perfect sitter. I highly recommend you book with her.

Misao did an incredible job taking care of my dog and cat for the weekend. She came to our house the week before to get acquainted with the animals and discuss their care and they were both immediately drawn to her. Misao spent quality time with both animals and sent lots of wonderful photos. Both animals ate all their meals, which is a feat because usually my dog refuses to eat when we travel. Misao kept our house in pristine condition and helped with small tasks like bringing in mail and packages. Misao has a beautiful and kind spirit and I will absolutely be hiring her again to care for my fur babies.

Brigitta was great! Super communicative and flexible when I needed to adjust the time for our meet and greet. My cat is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day so her experience with injectable meds made me feel very comfortable about leaving him in her care. She house-sat for me and I came home to house that was at least as clean as I left it and two pets that were well cared for and happy :) She’s now my first call when I need creature care!

Megan did an exceptional job watching my very big but silly 7mo/65lb puppy for a night! She sent no less than 10 photos and a few updates as the night went on. Typically he doesn’t want to sleep/cuddle near someone “new” but he took to her right away and fell asleep with his head on her lap. Megan left the house as I left it and even started the laundry with the bedsheets (despite me telling her not to worry about it!). Would highly recommend and I’ll be booking her again in the future.

Andrea did an excellent job and went above and beyond when caring for our boys and home. She send updates frequently and sent lots of pictures to assure us that our boys were well taken care of. She followed all of our care instructions to the T and always reached out when she had a question. She left our home just as good, if not better than we left it! She was very respectful of our space and our wishes for our fur babies. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and would 100% book her again to watch our pups!

About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.

I'm so grateful to have found Lisa. She is wonderful with our fairly particular and needy dog. She took excellent care of her and was super flexible on my last minute request. She worked closely with me to make sure our dog wasn't alone for too long and gave great updates to keep me assured our pup was doing well while we were gone. She also helped me at the last minute with a dog walk when I was unable to do it! I love seeing how much my dog likes her! ❤️

As a house sitter, she kept our home in good order and was great about sending us updates daily so we knew our fur babies were being well taken care of. It made it much easier to enjoy our vacation knowing everything at home was in good hands. She’ll be our first choice for the next trip we plan!

Keri was a fantastic caretaker for my two dogs. She followed the care instructions, took them on a daily walk, and administered medication 2x daily. A highlight was all the photos she sent of my dogs happy, relaxed, and cared for. Keri also left our home in clean condition. I would definitely have her take care of the dogs again!
