“Milena stayed at our house with our 2 dogs and she was great! We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! She kept us posted with pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future!!”

“We are very pleased with the exemplary care that Alexa provided to our dog Finnegan during a several day stay in our home. Finnegan warmed up to her within seconds of meeting her. She was proactive in communicating with us regularly, providing much-appreciated pictures. Alexa has been a caring, reliable, and responsible sitter whom we’d recommend to others and plan to call upon again!”

“Victoria took wonderful care of our puppy for several hours and did an amazing job! She made sure our pup was well fed, played with her, and kept her happy the entire time. She was very organized, attentive, and followed all our instructions perfectly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Melinda is amazing! She came to meet my pup ahead of time, developing a real rapport with her. During her time with my puppy, she communicated very well, took great care of my dog, and showed her real love. She also did a little dog training, which was very welcome. Love Melinda and our experience with her.”


About: I’m a long-time cat and dog owner with experience caring for friends’ and families’ pets as well. I have lots of free time and flexible availability. I currently work part-time where I choose my own hours! I’m looking forward to using my free time to care for your pets and give them my full attention. I will care for your pets in whichever way best works for you. I’ll keep them safe and away from other animals and humans on walks, give them the right amount of exercise for their breed or size, and give them all the pets and attention they could ever ask for.
“Tatiana was great! She took the time to meet before the day she was going nj to Dogsit. She sent lots of updates and photos and was a joy to communicate with. Thank you Tatiana!”

“I felt comfortable with Yvette right from the start. She is personable and knowledgeable about dogs and my pet Dallas liked her immediately. I had her stay overnight for a week while on vacation. Yvette sent me daily updates and pictures, and even watered my plants. My mother lives downstairs and hit it off with Yvette as well altogether. I am happy to recommend her and will definitely be using when I travel next year.”

“Eric did a house / dog sit at my home for about a week. He was an excellent communicator and gave me great updates on how my pup, Lucy, was doing. The house was in great shape when I returned and Lucy was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would highly recommend Eric for any rover needs. Thanks!”

“Melissa was wonderful with our new tiny Maltese puppy Penny. She was loving and patient with Penny and we look forward to having her come stay with Penny again in our home.”

“I had Ivy stay with my girl Cassie for 3 nights. She did a great job! Cassie and I loved her on our meet and greet. She was very respectful of my home as well. She took the time to write down all feeding and medication times because she knew how important it was to give her medication every 12 hours. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I get nervous leaving Cassie when I have to travel for work, but Ivy staying with her definitely put my mind at ease. I will be using her again for my next trip in a few weeks!”

“David took care of everything and everyone—from our Velcro dog who became his best bud to our 16 year old very shy kitty who ended up snuggling up and sleeping with him. It was so nice to come home to happy healthy pets and everything at the house taken care of. I highly recommend David and will be seeking out his services again. Thank you!!!”

“Noelle was respectful, responsive and very professional! She was great with our 3 dogs and provided pictures when she house and dogsat. We would absolutely book her again in the future!”


“Elizabeth is really great with our 2 dachshunds. She took the time to get to know them, and she clearly loves dogs! She's a great communicator and sends us picture updates, which gives us a lot of peace of mind while we're away. She's super reliable and we've been lucky to be able to rebook her a few times.”
“Rachel was FANTASTIC with our 70+ pound Rottweiler/Husky with separation anxiety. She played and engaged with him when his energy was up, and let him lounge and rest when he needed it. We got frequent photo and text updates (and she takes really great doggy photos), and she even did an art project with him. He was happy and relaxed when we got home. Would definitely use her again for dog sitting in our home and might event try boarding him in her home when the need comes up. Thanks Rachel!”

About: I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime each for 12 years and I’ve always loved to be around them and to make sure they were safe and felt happy. I treat each pet like family. My reliability, calm demeanor and love for animals make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I will walk the dog everyday and I can board dogs every weekend. I have experience taking care of a French bulldog named Randy. Sometimes I go there to take care of him and other times I bring him to my apartment. I have space in our apartment for the dog to roam around and I live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood in which we can take the dog for long walks near a park and a pond.

Emily was absolutely wonderful with Ruby. She kept her happy and comfortable, was always on time for her potty breaks, and truly spent quality time caring for her. It was clear Ruby was well loved and in great hands. We would happily and confidently hire Emily again.
Amanda is amazing! My dog is recovering from a back injury and I needed someone on short notice to spend the day with him while I was at work. Amanda made sure he was comfortable and not moving (as the doc put him on bed rest) the entire day. Amanda was super communicative, sending regular updates. You can tell how much she loves animals - she poured so much love into my dog. Lastly, Amanda treated my apartment with the upmost care, and left it better than she found it. I highly recommend. Thanks again!
