“Aulelei is THE BEST!!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We had a lot of last minute chaos that was super unexpected right before we left, and Aulelei was INCREDIBLE. She was so flexible, so communicative, and so responsible! She took such good care of our fur babies!! I would recommend her to everyone! Thanks again Aulelei!!!”

“Ashleigh is a fantastic communicator, she asked all the questions to make sure my boys were taken care of during the long weekend. My dogs are big, so I am always worried that someone may be intimidated by their size. Ashleigh found out there is nothing better than love from a 110-pound lap dog. Would definitely recommend!”

“Courtney was amazing! She took great care of our pets! We had a lot trying to keep us from going on our trip but Courtney handled it like a pro! Very dependable and responsible!”

“Leland is very nice. He was attentive to my girls 🐶🐶. Very punctual. Responded to messages quickly. He sent me photos of the girls while we were away and wrote about them too. I really appreciated that. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I will hire Leland again.”


About: I have cared for many a dog and cat for family and friends. As well as I am a pet owner myself. I will love your baby and play with your baby as if it were my own. Pet sitting and house sitting will be my job. So I will be dedicated to whatever schedule is needed for my client. I will be available on weekdays and weekends. I also can provide pet pick up and drop off to vet visits or groomers for a fee I would rather keep your pet in your home. If I need to I am certainly willing to bring to my house. I do not have a fenced yard, but can walk your pet for exercise. I do own two cats, so if your baby does not tolerate them, then it would for sure need to be your home I stay in with them.
About: I have years of experience in handling different types of dogs. I have a friendly and calm demeanor that helps them feel comfortable with me as well. I spent years volunteering at the local shelter as a teenager. I've sat for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I've had several pets over the years, and I am currently a rescue mom. I keep my availability updated and only take a limited number of bookings at a time to ensure each pet family gets my full attention. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medications, dietary requirements, or routines you’d like followed. I’m comfortable handling more detailed care instructions and will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort.
About: I have been petting sitting for multiple years now, as well as growing up in an animal-loving home. I also have experience with giving fur friends medication when necessary. I am currently a college student, and have the mid-afternoons free to come check in on your furry friends! I also work part-time and work mostly at night during weekdays. I get off around 10:00, and can come swing by after work or stay the night. My weekends are fully open, so any time of day works for me to come spend some time with your pets!! I am very big on communication with my clients, letting them know when I arrive and leave, and also just taking pictures and updating clients throughout the time I am caring for their fur kids.

About: I have grown up with and around animals for the last 19 years, my family, friends, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, and let there dogs out while they are out of town and to feed and take care of their cats. The nickname my family and friends gave me was Snow White because animals always seem to be drawn to me. Within my 19 years I have had 10 cats, 7 dogs, 1 ferret, 2 bunnies, 5 fish, 3 frogs, 3 lizards. This show the wide spectrum of how many different animals I learned to take care of over the years. I am currently not working and just doing school work online so I have plenty of time to hangout and play with your dogs or cats. I am free to sit and hangout with them any time of the day or any time on the weekends If your pet requires any walks I am more than happy to do it for as long as they need or want, ensuring the weather is fit for their comfortably, making sure they are in a safe area. If your pet requires any special care or meal prep just let me know and I will be more than glad to fulfill those needs. I am not afraid to play in the dirt, I’ll bond with your fur baby how ever they wish, following the pace of their choosing.
“I really appreciate the time and care. Emily took with taking care of my babies. Being able to watch them in my home meant so much to me with me traveling it keeps the dogs feeling comfortable and I really appreciated that from her. I can tell that the dogs really enjoyed her and the time they were able to spend they were just as happy when I left as when I got home. I think her so much will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Maddie was great with my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving him with her after our first meet up. It is very clear how much she loves animals. She took great care of Stanley and all of my additional requests while she was at my house. I am so grateful for her, and would trust her with any pets!”

“I have had quite a few rover sitters due to moving for jobs and she has been the best by far! I felt like my dogs were well taken care of and she sent both pictures as well a couple of videos of all the cuddles/playtime. She was also respectful and dependable.”

“Raechel is incredible! She is reliable and trustworthy. She took great care of our two dogs for a week. They loved her! We came back to clean house too. We are very happy with her services and highly recommend her.”

About: I have been taking care of my family's animals since I was born, dogs primarily. I have also pet sat for families in my neighborhood and always recieve a positive report. In the past I have even had clients recommend me to their other friends who were in need of pet services. I specifically enjoy caring for seniors and aging animals. I currently work very flexible hours and I have availability primarily on nights and weekends. My home and car are clean smoke free environments. I will work with you and your pet(s) to ensure safe quality care. If you select me as your pet sitter I will work to ensure that both you and your furry client(s) are comfortable, safe, and happy. I know that for a dog having a new pet sitter or new walker can be an anxiety inducing time but with my warm inviting personality (and a bag of treats :) I have an affinity for getting animals to like me.
“Anna did such a good job caring for Mowgli and communicating with me. Mowgli is currently a very involved medical case, and Anna took on the challenge like a pro. She restricted his activity (no easy feat with a large breed puppy), changed countless bandages (including purchasing more supplies), gave oral medication, used a light therapy device, and brushed his teeth! All the while she was sending me photos of Mowgli and commenting how cute he was. She even bought him a toy! I am so relieved that the person taking care of my whole world (!) loved him like I do. Her passion and ability to follow detailed instructions helped Mowgli continue to heal in my absence. I will certainly book Anna again and encourage anyone looking for a dependable caretaker to do the same. Thank you, Anna ♥️”

About: I have had a cat or dog since I was 5 years old. I have taken care of my pets and neighbors and friends pets. I can walk, feed, and bathe them. I am free anytime Saturday and Sunday. I work Monday-Friday in the healthcare industry, but can stop by after work to check on them. I am happy to send pictures to you so you can stay updated on their care. After a phone interview, I come over and meet you and the pets before you leave. If it’s a good fit I learn their schedule so that I can help you by keeping them on that schedule.
“She came and visited first and within minutes won them all over. Anytime I sent a message to see how she was doing I got a message back immediately. Felt very comfortable with Athena and knowing my babies were in good hands! Would absolutely have her again watch my home and fur babies!”
About: I have cared for all different types of dogs since I was 12. People call me the dog whisperer because most dogs like me. I am gentle and caring with pets. I take time to learn the dog's needs and how to best interact with it. If the dog needs high energy, I give it high energy. If the dog needs me to be chill and cuddle, then I do just that. I have cleaned and bathed dogs, walked dogs, and house-set all different types of dogs. I feed my dogs at night and in the morning. I feed them when I wake up and then when I am eating dinner. I have two dogs. I take them on walks almost nightly. One dog sleeps with me every night. I have an older dog, and I give her medication and a special type of food every night. I also bathe my dogs and brush them frequently. I will care for them by feeding them, taking them on walks, bathing them, giving them lots of love and attention. I will also ensure the dogs feel safe with me and cater to all their needs and wants. I will ensure that everything is left the way it was before I came, and that if the dog happens to have an accident, it is cleaned up right then.
