“Evelyn is very conscientious and does a wonderful job! She took care of my dog and cat for 10 days, which included medicating them both twice daily. She sent me pictures and updates every day. She left my home clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her!”

“This is the best dog sitting experience I have had in awhile! Allison is very detail oriented and i felt comfortable with her right from the meet and greet. I have two cattledog mixes, and she made sure that their energy needs were met but also they got their snuggle time too! She gave plenty of updates and we came back to a clean and organized home. I had no worries and was able to enjoy my time away. I cannot recommend her enough and i look forward to the next time we need to book her again in the future.”

“Dwayne took good care of my 50 pound pittie. He was not phased by his various quirks and kept in touch with me while I was away. When he wasn't sure about the meaning of a minor behavior change, he checked in with me to make sure it was nothing to be concerned about. When I returned, my home was at least as clean and tidy as it was when I left. I will happily hire Dwayne again.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Donovan and Hollyanne who took care of my dog over Thanksgiving! From the moment they arrived to take care of him, it was clear he was in loving and capable hands. They showered him with attention, took him on countless adventures, and made sure he felt right at home. Being my first time leaving him with new people, they made sure to provide me with so many pictures and updates on the fun they were having together! It was so reassuring to know that he was not just being “watched,” but genuinely cared for. I came back to a very happy, healthy puppy full of stories and pictures about his new favorite people and his adventures. If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog like family, Donovan and Hollyanne are absolutely the best! I highly recommend them!”

“Kristin was awesome! She came over to take care of our 4-month-old puppy on Halloween night and did a wonderful job. Punctual, personable, and dependable. Our pup was very well cared for. Would highly recommend!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for over 14 years. Friends, neighbors, family, friends of friends, I’ve spent 20+ weekends a year house/pet sitting, and have averaged 3 dog walks a week for the last 3 years. I also have my Dog, Cat, and Pet First Aid Certificate as well as my Pet CPR Training Certificate from American Red Cross. Right now, I’m taking online courses for my profession. In between classes I would like to take breaks by taking care of animals. It’s both a stress reliever and something I love to do. I keep an eye out for any safety concerns or measures that need to take place to ensure the safety of your animals. Safety is key!
“Elizabeth was great! She is communicative, responsible, and left the house in perfect condition. Our Lola was very happy and healthy upon our return. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”

“Sage was WONDERFUL! My little fur baby can be quite the handful (she’s very hyperactive), and Sage was so great with her! She constantly sent me pictures and assurances that my dog was doing great while I was away. She definitely helped ease the worry I had from being away from my baby!”

“I was so nervous to leave my 10 wk old puppy. Hayden showed up on time, took care of her and left my house looking tidy. Hes a nice young man, I really appreciate how well he took care of my baby”

“Dwayne and Ashna took very good care of our mellow cat Bobby and our home for 8 full days (day and night). Bobby cat's priorities in life are frequent meals, snacks, supervised patio time, and attention... in that order. Dwayne and Ashna took care of Bobby cat following his usual schedule that kept him very content. They also helped us with bringing in many packages, watering our tree,managing the trash and recycling bins on pickup day, and refreshed the hummingbird feeder. Our return flight was delayed due to weather, Dwayne and Ashna were very responsive and communicative in case they needed to extend their stay. Fortunately our flight managed to take off and we returned home to a very relaxed and content Bobby cat. The home was tidy and clean, sheets and towels washed, floors vacuumed.”

“Brook was amazing with Blue. Very patient and understanding of his specific needs. Took time to understand him and provided a detailed overview of her stay with Blue. I will definitely be booking with Brook again.”


“One of the best sitters I have had some pet sitters on this app are absolutely horrible and have mis treated my Pomeranian.But she was so nice and respectful and did so amazing with my dog highly recommended and I booked her again immediately God bless”

“Jenya was extremely responsive, attentive and respectful during her stay at my house, and kept me updated with photos of my babies! Highly recommend having Jenya watch your furry babies!”


“Sarah is truly a gem! She immediately hit it off with our 2-year old golden retriever Jackson. She took him on several walks throughout the day and we could see from the pictures she sent that our boy was having a great day while we were away. Sarah is warm, friendly, reliable and clearly loves caring for our furry companions. We highly recommend Sarah and will definitely ask her to stay with Jackson again.”

“Austin house sit for us for 6 days to take care of our Mini Schnauzer. I can tell she really likes him and that's what matters most! He's friendly, sent photos each day, and kept our home clean. We have already booked him again for some upcoming walks. We will definitely request him again for future doggy care needs.”

“Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my sensitive boy while I was gone, sent many updates, and stayed on top of his medications. He was so happy when I got home. I highly recommend her!”

“Jennifer was the first Rover we used and she as excellent! She took amazing care of our blind, senior dog and sent us multiple thorough updates each day. Dijon was happy and resting when we returned and our house was as clean as if no one was there. I can’t recommend her strongly enough!”
“Liz is one of the few people I trust to watch Bane besides my friends. I’m extremely grateful. It’s hard to leave him but Liz has helped give me a lot of relief knowing he’s in trusted hands. In addition to watching Bane, Liz house sits and leaves everything clean. I never have to worry once I know she’s with him. I always come home to Bane happy, fed, and clean. I would highly recommend Liz to anyone and have only kind things to say as does Bane :)”

Karilou was wonderful with Pina and we couldn’t have been happier with her care! Communication was excellent throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Karilou followed all of Pina’s care instructions carefully, including her medications and special needs. Pina was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for when we came home. She also kept our house absolutely spotless, which we really appreciated. We felt completely comfortable having Karilou stay in our home and care for Pina. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

My dog is 16 years old, blind and deaf, so I needed an in-house sitter. I’m so glad I found Kristin and I couldn’t recommend her more. From our initial meet up, I knew I could trust her. She was attentive and cared for our senior dog with detail and love. I also appreciated her professionalism and her respect for our space.

Maddy is always an amazing sitter for Stiorra! She takes amazing care of our dog and is also extremely thoughtful taking care of our house. She also baked us some really delicious banana bread before we came home! Leaving our dog with Maddy, we always have peace of mind that she will be getting the best care and are so grateful to her.

Chai did an AMAZING job watching our dog, cat, and house! Our dog had to have an unplanned surgery shortly before our trip, but Chai took it all in stride. She dealt with medications, a cone, puppy pajamas, exercise restrictions, and gave us plenty of updates, despite our 9 hour time difference. She left the house very clean, and the plants much happier and healthier than when we left them. She was thoughtful, communicative, and put us at ease on our long trip away from the fur babies. We would definitely ask Chai to come back! 😊

Jade was great! It was our first time leaving our dog, Chewy, in the care of someone else, and he’s a difficult client 😅 (aka not being very friendly with strangers!) Jade was very patient and kind with him and sent us updates and pictures throughout our time away, which we really appreciated. She left the house super tidy, and we will definitely reach out to her again for future dog sitting! 😊🥰🐾

Hung was great! He took wonderful care of our little Chloe and communicated daily with pictures and updates. Even though our requests and questions were a bit much sometimes, he was very responsive and respectful throughout. He was also extremely respectful of our home and left it very clean. Will book again and highly recommend!

Elijah took great care of our pup while we were out of town ensuring our dog remained safe during a heat wave, and a power maintenance outage. He sent us photos of our pup being his wacky self and we got home to a happy pup ready to continue his routine feedings and walks. We are very grateful Elijah kept our pup safe and stress free. He will be our go to Rover as long as he is available.

We had such a great experience with Robyn and Connor! They were both incredibly kind and communicative from the start, and our dog settled in with them almost immediately during the meet and greet, which made us feel so comfortable leaving her in their care. We got lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, and our pup looked so happy and relaxed the entire time! They also took amazing care of our home and left everything super clean. We’ll absolutely be using them again and would highly recommend them!

Hannah was phenomenal with my 14-year-old senior black labrador retriever, Penny. She stopped by the house ahead of time for a meet and greet and I could tell immediately she would be a good fit for Penny and the house. I felt totally comfortable with Hannah staying at my house and watching after Penny while I was out of town, and Penny had a total blast. I received regular videos and photos from Hannah throughout her stay, which of course is super comforting knowing Penny was well cared for even though I was halfway across the country. Hannah stayed for a total of three nights and was incredibly communicative and accomodating. Would definitely recommend her to anyone with a senior dog (or any other kind of dog)!

Jenya was absolutely incredible, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she was dependable, communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly thorough. She sent us detailed updates two to three times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were safe, happy, loved, and being genuinely cared for while we were away. What stood out most was how much she truly cared. She didn’t just come in, feed them, and leave. She spent time with them, gave them attention and affection, made sure everything was taken care of, and treated them like they were her own. She even went out of her way to buy them toys with her own money, which was such an unexpected and incredibly sweet gesture. 🥹 It is rare to find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but also so genuinely loving toward animals. We never had to wonder what was happening at home because Jenya kept us informed every step of the way and was incredibly attentive to every little detail. We came home to happy, well-loved pets and everything exactly as it should be. Knowing we have someone like Jenya who we can completely trust with our babies is priceless. She went above and beyond in every possible way, and we would book her again without hesitation. If you are looking for a pet sitter who is trustworthy, caring, communicative, responsible, and will truly love your pets while you’re gone, Jenya is the one. 10/10, absolutely amazing! ❤️🐾
