“Emily took great care of our Westley. She sent me multiple updates and pictures every day which I really appreciated. My dog looked happy and relaxed when she was at our place.”

“Lulu is fantastic as both dog-sitter and house-sitter. She is an animal person to the core and has bonded with both of my cockers. She possesses a kind, respectful personality and I never fear with her in charge. Constantly updates with words and pictures. I couldn't be happier.”


“Jenni was outstanding! She was great to communicate with, went above and beyond in taking care of the house, and most importantly, the animals really felt safe with her. We will absolutely be requesting her services again.”

“Katy was exceptional with our anxious boys. It's such a relief to know we have a fantastic person to watch our dogs and house! The pics showed they were happy and having a blast. It means the world to us to know they are in such great hands with Katy. Thank you so very much!!!”

“Desire once again did an amazing job taking care of my pup. Communication is on point. It is so nice to go on vacation and know my pup is getting loved and cared for. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets.”

“Erika is a dog whisperer! She navigated my youthful pup and senior dog with such care and attention. I felt so confident being able to hike and explore while my two dogs were well cared for. Erika provided great communication on arrival and departure, and I loved the pup picture updates. Very responsible and trustworthy too. Overall I highly recommend Erika for overnight dog visits. A+ experience.”

“Kate was amazing!! She checked in often and sent photos of my dogs daily! Dolly is usually timid of people but she was really comfortable with Kate! She stayed at my home and was with them majority of the time! They had constant care and attention. When I returned she started laundry for the bedding and towels, and left everything spotless! It doesn’t even look like she was here which is such a blessing to come back to a clean home! I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Stephanie was fantastic watching our French Bulldog! We got a number of updates and she went above and beyond. We very much appreciated her and will be using her again!”

“Erin was fantastic! We had severe storms while we were away and Erin was conscientious enough to watch the sump pump and take care of the patio furniture so it wouldn't get blown away too. We were grateful for that!! She took several amazing photos of our dog and communicated daily. We will definitely use her services again in the future. She has a very sweet personality too!!”

“Rosemary was so great to work with! She communicated often, provided lots of adorable photos, and I returned to very happy pets. She was on time, took the time to get to know my anxious dog, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. She left my house spotless when she left. I will definitely rebook with her!”

“Kristin was very responsive and helpful. Our dog while very sweet can occasionally be particular with the new people she meets (as a rescue pup) Kristin was extremely professional and reassured both us and Daisy and made for a great experience. Thank you!”

“I cannot find enough superlatives to describe our experience with Roxanne. She stayed with our Basset for nearly two weeks! While he was glad to see us when we returned home, we could tell he was cared for. Roxanne kept in constant communication and treated our dog is if he were her own. She stayed at our house, and it was left in better condition than when we left. I would recommend Roxanne without reservation, and I know we will use again in the future.”
“Book her! My dog looked so relaxed in the pics we received of her. Erin was communicative and so personable. I had no hesitation leaving my dog in her care. I will definitely be booking Erin again!”

“Sharon was amazing and I will 100% look to book with her again. I had planned to have her watch my dog from a Friday through Tuesday while on a vacation, but a family emergency ended my trip while I was traveling. Sharon was great to work with during this time, insisting that we modify the reservation to account for the shorter booking, all while sending pictures and videos of my dog—which my family and I really needed to see during an emotionally draining time. Otherwise, she just completely handled taking care of Teddy while I was gone, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met Randy, it was clear how much he genuinely cares for animals. He kept us updated with photos and messages every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were not only well cared for but also happy, relaxed, and clearly loved the extra attention 🤩. Reliable, professional, and kind, Randy went above and beyond. We would recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy, top-notch care for their pets!”

“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but also how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and routines. For the past 13 years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting services for families, caring for pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and create a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a familiar and caring presence, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a full-time artist, I have a flexible schedule and don’t work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Because I work independently, I can be flexible with scheduling and am often available throughout the day for check-ins and updates. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to maintain their routines so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I also focus on giving pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of keeping the home clean and respecting the space, and I always provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s dogs or cats, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

Deidre did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog Blaze and providing updates on how my pup was doing! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about the process. Deidre was available for a meet and greet prior to accepting the house sitting request, which definitely helped me get comfortable. She sent photos and videos of Blaze playing fetch to brighten my days away (work trip) and confirmed I had made it home on the last day of my trip.

We have had Randy watch our puppy a few times now and we love him! He met her before their first sleepover and was very thorough with her intake so he knows all about her needs and our home. He also recommended we make a sitter cheat sheet which we have done and love, especially since she's a growing puppy and things are often changing. He always brings her a new little toy which she will proudly carry around and speak for days. He plays with her, walks her, loves on her, and let's her bask in the sunshine as much as her heart desires. He also fills out our dog log so we can keep track of all her activites and sends lots of photos so we don't miss her too much. We highly recommend Randy!

I recently had to go out of town for an extended business trip. Amber is always excellent with my dog start to finish! I get regular updates and photos and I can tell he was comfortable and well taken care of when I returned. I am always worried about my dog. Some might even call me a helicopter dog parent. But I find my mind more at ease when Amber watches my dog. I cannot express how thankful I am for her services and commitment to the health and happiness of my dog. Thank you, Amber!!

Reuben did absolutely everything we could ask and then some. Extremely professional and courteous, trustworthy - just a genuinely kind human being. Sent fun photos of the cats and dogs without our requiring them. As first time users on this site we had some hesitation about having a stranger stay in our home but I can say with confidence that I would invite Reuben back.
