“Elissa was fantastic with our two spoiled fur babies. Our pups can be a little intimidating at first but they warmed up and had a great time. She updated us with pictures and how everything was going. Will definitely use Elissa again, thank you!!”

About: I've cared for family dogs most of my life which has left me with an abundance of experience with caring for dogs. I had a beautiful 13 year old pug, who I was the main caregiver for, who passed away in 2021 due to cancer. Since then, I have slowly begun to care for other people's dogs and I am absolutely loving it! My availability is currently open so it is a great time to book me! My general availability is: Mondays 8:30am-8:30pm Tuesdays-Fridays 8:30am-8:30pm Saturdays 10am-7pm Sundays 10am-7pm If your dog is more like your baby, I've got you both covered! I provide quality pet care and attentiveness to your dogs' overall wellbeing and safety. I have an overflowing supply of love and patience for animals! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”

“Jacob was great! He took great care of Chuck for me and even did extra stuff around the house I didn't ask for. The house looked better than when I left and was very clean. I will for sure look to use Jacob again in the future!”

“Our first time with Abigail as Zoey’s roommate for a week. We couldn’t have asked for s better experience. Abigail kept us up to date with photos and texts. We came home to a clean house, a happy dog and she even even laundered the sheets and remade the guest bed. Bonus is she is a student so she was home with Zoey most of the time. Definitely recommend her.”

“Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!”

“Tally was great with my chocolate lab who has separation anxiety. She was attentive and gave him lots of love and hugs. My house was immaculate when I came home after a 4 day trip. Highly recommend Tally!”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I was a little nervous at first, but Jalen made the entire process easy and stress-free. He was professional, reliable, and showed genuine care for my puppy. I felt completely comfortable knowing my Oli was in good hands. I am beyond happy with the service Jalen provided and will definitely be booking with him again.”

“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”


“Anthony was outstanding. He made sure to send us updates frequently and made our pets feel very loved. We returned home to everything in order and the pets happy.”

“Roni was a lifesaver after I had a last minute cancellation. We were able to meet and establish a dog-sitter relationship quickly and efficiently. Roni was communicative and sympathetic in a stressful moment for me. My dog, who can be slow to warm up with stranger, accepted Roni quickly. They followed instructions well and I’m excited to have such a good option next time I go on a trip.”

“Olivia was perfect in every way! Especially because it was my first time leaving my puppy for an overnight trip. Her communication, presence and genuine care allowed me to feel confident going away. She also made it feel so natural to synch up with the rhythm and schedule my pup and I had going which I have found rare, but so essential. And he is a growing 5-6 month old puppy. I will absolutely reach out to her first the next time I go away or need a sitter for my pup.”

“Ashley took such good care of our girl, Ellie! She kept us updated throughout the weekend and played and snuggled with her. We greatly appreciate her care and attention! ?”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old and have always loved being around animals. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m patient, gentle, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and giving pets the attention they need. I treat every pet like my owm and truly enjoy spending time with them. Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule because I’m currently on summer break and have a very open availability. I do work a part-time job, but I still have plenty of free time throughout the week to give pets lots of attention, walks, playtime, and care. In the fall, I’ll be taking online college classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to continue being available for pet sitting and drop-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I love making part of my routine. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to pets at all times and make sure they are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. I also make it a priority to give pets lots of love, patience, and attention so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. I respect clients’ homes, keep everything tidy, and communicate regularly with updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our two dogs while we were away on vacation. From the start, Melissa took the time to understand our dogs’ routines and made sure everything stayed consistent, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime habits. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs grew comfortable and trusting Melissa. One of our dogs can be a little skittish at first, but it was clear they felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for the entire time we were gone. We also appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind when we were away. Coming home to two happy, calm dogs confirmed they were in great hands. We highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter!

Rae was absolutely amazing with our dog and exceeded every expectation we had. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and caring you can tell she genuinely loves animals. Our dog warmed up to her so quickly and already adores her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also extremely respectful of our home and left everything in perfect condition. It’s rare to find someone you trust so easily with both your pet and your space. We were so impressed that we’re already trying to rebook her for future trips. Highly recommend Rae to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional dog sitter!

Silvia watched my dog Simone for 8 days. Simone is special needs and is pretty scared of the world and Sylvia did a fantastic job watching her. Simone was happy and calm when we got home and it was clear she spent a lot of time with her making her more comfortable. Thank you Silvia and I look forward to having you watch Simone again in the future. Definitely will have you watch Simone in the future!
