1. SJ T.
“We have had good experiences with Rover boarding/house sitting in the past but SJ recently did an exceptional job! She took care of our two Golden Retrievers including one older dog. She intuitively knew how to react to the mellow older dog versus the overly exuberent younger dog. We will try to have SJ help us for other trips.”
2. Parvathy K.
“Pavarthy was punctual, responsive, and put my mind at ease caring for my pets while I was on vacation. I had a unique situation with caring for some baby chicks that she was also able to help out with along with the dogs, so I appreciated her flexibility. I received pictures and updates every day that I lived receiving.”
3. Amy Catherin E.
“Amy took such great care of our dogs and home while we were out on vacation. We didn't have cell service while we were away, so it was important to us to find someone we could rely on, and we knew after meeting Amy she would be a perfect fit. Our dogs got to enjoy walks and jogs daily, and Amy left us with the sweetest photos of them. She is very communicative, kind, and active which was great for our dogs who are used to getting out a lot. We would absolutely recommend Amy as a dog/house sitter and we hope to have her here again!!”

About: I have experience with all animals - farm animals, aquatic animals, dogs, cats, feral animals too. I love goats and miss my farm. I can't have animals of my own at this time and just looking for a rewarding side hustle. I find healing in the presence of animals. I'm currently available seven days a weeks - flexible and reliable. I recently have been laid off from my regular employer. I am looking for an easygoing rewarding solution. Animals could provide so much more to me than an income. Especially at this time in my life. Transition is hard but Im determined. I ensure safety and routine for your pet. I will do everything I can to ensure they are well cared for and safe in your environment or mine.
5. Hannah S.
“Hannah took great care of my dog...She was easy to communicate with and sent me lots of pictures while I was gone. She is a true dog lover and knew how to make my dog and I at ease! Could not have ask for more from a sitter.”
6. Mattie T.
“Thanks for taking great care of Indy. She was very happy to see us, but was relaxed. The house was in great shape and she even washed the sheets. Happy to book with Mattie again!”
7. Inness H.
“Inness is absolutely great with Jack! He took great care of my home and was thoughtful sending me pics of Jack (my Great Dane) at play with his dog, Raiku. They get along really well and always have fun. This was me second booking with Inness and already have him down for 2 more!”
8. Bryce D.
“The rumors are true—Bryce is extraordinary! Our giant pup adored her from the moment she walked in, and my husband and I quickly followed suit. She was cheerful, creative, responsive, and so so so thoughtful during her four-day sit at our place. I honestly think that Teddy was sad to see her go. I usually feel a little guilt about leaving him with a sitter, but I felt like we were leaving him with a friend. We're looking forward to having her back the next time we have to travel without our doggo.”
9. Dori L.
About: I started caring for horses,dogs and cats at age 15. We owned a ranch & I cared for all the animals daily. I had clients and friends who relied on me to care for their fur babies. Animals are family and I treat all animals with love and kindness. I also volunteer with the Humane Society and have done animal rescue during hurricane Rita, Katrina and Harvey as well as local rescues. Pet care has always been my passion since I was a child. In the past 3 years my parents passed & I am a breast cancer survivor so pet care is so close to my healing heart ♥ and brings joy to my life I will care for any animal at the owners home and stay over if owners want. I am active & I love to excercise. I will walk dogs several times a day. I am conscientious and respectful of peoples homes also.
10. Thomas B.
“Tom was friendly from the get-go and, shortly after he walked in, sat on the floor with the dogs. They took to him right away. Smart thinking! When we got home from our trip, it was clear our pups were happy and well-taken care of! They were glad to see us but not distressed that we'd been away. Good work, Tom!”
11. Dana R.
“Dana is a wonderful pet sitter and I recommend her highly. She took perfect care of my cat and my dog and left my house excellent condition.”
12. Rosa P.
“Rosa took great care of my Trixie. I needed a dog sitter short notice and she came to the rescue. Rosa is very responsive and made sure I got lots of updates and pictures of Trixie which was very reassuring. My fur baby was in great hands and I will be using her in the future.”
13. Lydia L.
“Lydia is a wonderful and thoughtful pet sitter. She stayed with our cats and guinea pigs over thanksgiving and we will definitely be asking her to watch them again. We received so many adorable updates from her and our house was even cleaner than when we left!”
