“Arantxa gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. She goes above and beyond with updates, special care to keep their routine, and gives them so much love and attention. She genuinely treats your pets like they are her own. She is the BEST! 😊”


“This was our first time using Rover and Linda was very responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. She provided timely updates for every visit along with detailed descriptions and photos- which allowed us to enjoy our weekend knowing our dog was in good hands.”


“Very responsive, very responsible and easy to work with. My fur kids were well cared for and I will be booking with Erica again. Highly recommend!”


“I came home to happy content kitties and a clean home. Daria was so caring for them, sending me so many wonderful photos. I will be rebooking w her anytime I need someone. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.”


“Kody was phenomenal. My dog is very shy and timid at first. Kody was patient with him slowly earning his trust. Kody also sent great pics and detailed updates which was nice to have while away. He even went above and beyond and watered my plants while it was hot out. I would highly recommend Kody.”


“Kat was great! She truly cares for the animals she is punctual great communicator and super sweet. I definitely would trust her with my animal’s again.She made my trip easy because I didn’t have to worry about anything. thank you so much.”

“Lily was such a life saver for a last minute house sitting of my kitty, Bradley. I was heading out of town as he had a urinary blockage. Lily was a good communicator, handled his post-surgery medicine administration, and provided a lot of love and pets. I felt confident my cat was in good hands with her despite the stress of an urgent procedure before an out of town trip. I would definitely book her again.”


“Katie was so great with our cat! She sent frequent updates and really cute pictures to let us know how our girl was doing. Our trip was so much better because we didn’t have to worry about things at home, and we knew our cat was in good hands! Katie also went above and beyond when it came to leaving our apartment cleaner than it was before we left! I was so impressed how nice it was when we got back! Thank you again!”


About: We are Sunny and Wendy, and we are a couple that provide service together. In our free time, we like to climb indoors and outdoors. We are more than happy to take the pups out when they stay with us (only if allowed by owners). About Sunny 👨⚕️: I am an animal care professional with 15 years of pet care experience. I can provide special services including medication administration. I love playing with dogs and giving them walks when you board or book house sit with me, and I’ll make sure your pets are happy throughout the time with me. Please do note that I have a cat in the house if you would like to book a day care or boarding. About Wendy 👩💻: I am a UX designer in tech, and I work from home. I will be the main person that spends time with your pup or pups if you book a home sit service with us. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preferred start/ end time. Please feel free to reach out if you have any question :) ** For Wendy's old clients, she is currently moving her bookings over from her account before Rover removed her original account and added her contact here. Her contact will show up in this account very soon. Sunny works from an office days everyday, and Wendy has a flexible schedule and works from home. With advanced notice we can accommodate our schedule to fit your needs. We have a two-story house with a high-fenced yard. Pets are allowed in the public area, patio and yard. There is also a fenced dog park in my neighborhood.

“Dwayne was fantastic with Harley. We were traveling internationally and Harley had a bad gastritis issue at the start of the trip. Dwayne took great care of him, including coordinating with us and the emergency vet to make sure Harley received the right treatment and got back to good health quickly. We are extremely grateful for how well he looked after our dog!”


About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

She was amazing from start to finish: dependable, professional, and clearly someone who loves what she does. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. She kept us updated, sent pics, followed our instructions and also walked the babies. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring petsitter.”

My home was left spotless, and it was clear my pets adored her. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter, I highly recommend Ashley. Five stars all the way!”

“Karli truly went above and beyond in her care of our dog, cat, and house. She was SO communicative and sweet. I have also never had a pet sitter who was so thoughtful about leaving the house in fantastic shape (stripping the bed, etc.). I was amazed and so grateful. Can’t recommend Karli highly enough!!”


“Michael was fantastic, gave updates every time he stopped by and sent lots of pictures. Very communicative. Thank you!”
