“Katy did a great job with Carmie! It was our first time using her and she was so easy to work with and flexible to come for a meet and greet. Great communication and sent regular updates with pictures.”


“Averi did great with Sandy. We were gone on an extended trip and Averi stayed with Sandy in our home for 16 days. She followed all instructions for Sandy and really carred for her. Sandy loved her time and we got a lot of pictures while we were gone. This helped keep us from worrying to much. She walked, played with, and gave Sandy her medicine. It was christmas and Sveri got Sandy a puppy stocking and photo with Santa. She went above everything we expected. I highly recommend her.”


“Carlita Was great to my 2 dogs , she did everything I asked and more , my dogs now have a new friend they will be seeing every time I need a vacation, highly recommended”


“Amanda was wonderful with my two pups. She communicated daily, took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. It was great “peace of mind” traveling knowing that Amanda was taking such care!”


“MacKenzie was fantastic! We had a family member cancel with short notice for watching out 2 dogs and 3 cats for a week while we were going on vacation. I quickly hopped on Rover to see who was near us, and decided to message MacKenzie based on other reviews that had been left. She was quickly able to come over and meet our gang to make sure it would be a fit. After that initial meeting, my husband and I both felt very comfortable and confident with her coming to stay and take care of things while we were gone. The day we were supposed to leave, we ran into some issues but MacKenzie was flexible and fast to communicate. She was very punctual and sent brief updates/questions throughout the week (she has our preference on communication and we had told her we didn't need regular check ins or updates). When we got home, we could tell our dogs and cats had missed us, but it was also clear that they had been well taken care of. Overall, if and when I may need another house & pet sitter, I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to MacKenzie and I won't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help.”


“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”


About: Hi! my name is Denique and I have a strong love for all types of animals. I am a 24yr old graduate from A&T University with a major in Animal Science. I have been caring for pets ever since I was a toddler. Caring for a pet in my household has always been my responsibility and I’ve done so very well, although I currently do not own a pet at the moment it just makes me more passionate to care for others. Making sure your pet is happy, safe, and having a good time is one of my main priorities. I am so excited to care for your pets and give them the best time. I promise I will be extremely loving to your animals. <3 I hope you decide to pick me as your pet sitter, you will not be dissatisfied. Feel free to contact me anytime. I currently have a job at a vet hospital where I tend to work long shifts throughout the week. In order to make sure your pet gets the most quality time they deserve I schedule my time where I am available to fulfill the needs of your pet. Your animals safety is one of my main priorities because I want to make sure they are always comfortable. When outside I prefer to leash your pet or hold them for their protection until we are in a safe area.

“Alex is a slam dunk. Animals were healthy, safe, and happy when we returned. Received regular, daily updates during the week. House was spotless. Definitely a re-book. Thank you so much, Alex!”



“Tracy is awesome! Our babies love having her stay with them! She loves on them and treats them the way we do. Thank you for being amazing and so helpful. Will definitely work with her again.”


“Caitlin helped us out last minute and was extremely accommodating to our senior dog with anxiety. She shared pictures and her response times were great. We will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Lily and Philip are absolutely wonderful dog sitters. I received lots of photos of my pups and they felt lots of love while I was away. I highly recommend this reliable tag team!”


“Tiffani is great! She’s so responsive, accommodating, and, most importantly, great with our dogs. I appreciated the pictures and updates while we were away, and her being flexible when we had a last-minute schedule change. Will definitely ask her to dog sit for us again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 7 years old and professionally since I was 18 years old. I love ALL animals. I have experience with the following animals: Bearded Dragons, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Rabbits, Fish, Hamsters, and Birds. I know how to administer shots and give medications orally to Cats, Dogs, and Ferrets. I believe that pets aren't pets - they are family. I live in a house with my husband, 4 month old baby, and 2 kitties. I work a 9-5 full time job but can take breaks to help with walks, potty breaks, and feedings. I promise to give all of the love and attention your animal needs. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please reach out to me. Thank you! I have a full-time job however, I can take breaks throughout the day to attend to your animal's needs (walks, potty breaks, food, etc.). I have full availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats who get along with other animals. They roam around the house and tend to do their own thing. Staying in client homes, I will only use items/rooms that I am told can be used. I ALWAYS clean up after myself and will do light housework if asked/needed.

About: I’ve had experience with rescue animals in my home since my childhood. I began working as a pet sitter and dog walker (babysitter as well!) at 14, which has always been my favorite job! I was able to get a job as a kennel assistant in a veterinary clinic at 16 and worked my way up to a veterinary assistant position. I have dealt with administering medication and other veterinary procedures, and dealing with more special care required animals. I’m a college student taking online and in person courses through the local community college, so I have a pretty open schedule. Working a traditional job in college can be quite stressful, so I’m giving this a try! I have been working in other people’s homes for several years babysitting and pet sitting. I’m happy to clean dishes, take out trash, carry in mail and packages, and any other simple tasks. I always try my best to clean after myself and the fur babies each visit!

About: I've taken care of my family dogs and cats, especially my sister's and brother's recently. I lived with my sister for 3 years with her dog and took him to vet visits and to get his haircut I'm working part time as a tour guide so I have a pretty open availability. I'm excited to meet and play with plenty of pets and make sure that they are safe and happy Whenever I need to watch my brother's or sister's dogs I make sure to take them on walks, with leashes ,and poop bags as needed. I'll make sure they take their meds as needed and if needed I can even take them to the vet.

About: Hi, my name is Mackenzie, and I love being outside and seeing happy dogs on walks! I grew up with a dog that I loved dearly, and enjoyed nothing more than spending time inside and outside with him! Since his passing, I have gotten a little over a year of experience petsitting and dog-walking, and am looking to expand and help more families keep their fur babies happy! Whether that be by dropping by for a walk and some tummy rubs, or hanging out while you’re on vacation, I am ready and excited to help out! I’m a high energy person who loves playing with and caring for dogs; please contact me if you think I could be a good pet for your best friend! I have also become a big cat person in my personal life! I have cats of my own and I love them very much. They both have some minor medical conditions that require prescription feeding and monitoring, so I am used to sensitive kitties who need a little extra love. I would love to help care for cats in the area, so other cat people can travel and vacation and have time away from home knowing that their furbaby is well cared for and loved in their absence! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I am available throughout the day for feeding, walking, playing, and relaxing with your pets! I am very detail oriented and can ensure that the care your pet receives from me mimics the care they receive from you, to keep your furbaby comfortable and relaxed while you're away!

Mackenzie V.
“Mackenzie provided fantastic care for my Stella. Stella has separation anxiety and anxiety meeting new people, so I am very careful about who watches her. Mackenzie was so friendly and patient at our meet and greet— I’ve never seen a sitter make friends with Stella so quickly! She was on-time for the walk, stayed at the house after to keep Stella company, and communicated with me throughout the sit. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
