“Madeline did such a wonderful job taking care of our pups in our home for the weekend! She was super responsible and responsive and it was clear our babies had a wonderful time with her. We will definitely reach out to Madeline again for future dogsitting!”


“Nicole was wonderful with our Pittie and kitty! She stayed overnight in our home for a week during an holiday and we came home to happy pets and a home that was exactly the way we left it. We received plenty of pictures and videos and it was obvious our boys were well loved while we were gone. 10/10 recommend :)”


“I cannot say enough good things about Maria. I have never had a bad experience with any of the walkers, sitters, etc. with Rover but Maria is in a class all her own. She watched my boy, Toby for a week and he was so loved and cared for. She sent pictures of their extended walks, and many of her just loving on him. She took him to her house and introduced him to her cats and it was amazing. I know he was so happy and therefore I never had to worry once about him. I highly recommend her as I will be using her again and again. She is a treasure!!!”


“Nikki was very communicative and responsive the entire 5 days I was away. She was willing to switch up the already complicated feeding schedule for my kitten when he had GI issues right before I left. My 2 kitties were obviously well cared for & happy while I was away.”


“This was the first time Morgan & Jahcarre watched our dogs. They came over for a meet and greet well in advance and then a quick refresher a couple of days before the trip. They were very responsive and understood the different personalities our dogs have. We will not hesitate to have them watch our dogs again.”


“Lexi was a wonderful sitter for us when we needed to be out of town! We returned to a happy pup and a clean home - what a joy! We will definitely be turning to Lexi in the future when we need someone to watch our sweet dog again.”


“From our first video meet and greet, to our in-person introductions, we felt such good vibes from Grace. When she entered the house, she did so very gingerly, then sat on the floor to let the cats and dogs "investigate" her in their own time. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats, sending plenty of photos and updates. Our cat Katara and our dog Koda, quickly took to Grace and they all became cuddle buddies right away. By the 4th day, all the furbabies were getting their cuddles on with her. One of our cats is on anxiety meds and hates it. So Grace had to administer her meds and also had to deal with our cat marking outside of her litterbox. Grace was unfazed and handled it with a great sense of humor. Thank you so much Grace for taking such wonderful care of our furbabies!!!!!”


“Pj took such good care of our baby for a whole week and we booked her last minute. She was extremely accommodating and our dog warmed up to her quick. We certainly felt like he was taken care of and in good hands while we were away!”


“Emily was amazing! Right from the start she was professional, responsive, and made us feel completely at ease. Emily truly went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy and our home was well taken care of. She sent us daily updates and photos. It was clear that our dogs were not just being watched, but genuinely loved and cared for. The peace of mind this gave us was invaluable.”


“We’re so grateful to have had Fennel looking after Lucy. They were incredibly attentive and responsive throughout the entire time, and their updates gave us such peace of mind. The photos they sent were lovely—Lucy looked so content, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It meant the world to be able to leave the house knowing Lucy was in such good hands. We highly recommend Fennel to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and truly caring sitter—they’re truly the best!”


About: Hello my name is Deara. I am an experienced Vet Tech of 6 years. I've worked with over 1000's of dogs and cats of all temperaments. I have been a sitter for a little over a year for family pets, coworkers, neighbors etc. I am currently working full-time as a veterinary technician. I have been able to fit sitting into my schedule with ease. I have a very flexible schedule. Provide in-home pet sitting and pet care services, including workday check-ins and feedings, litterbox, cage, and kennel cleaning, overnight care, and long-term vacation care. Put pet parents’ minds at ease, treating homes with respect, sending text, photo, and video updates, and providing post-care follow-ups with notes on behaviors, moods, activities, and more.

About: With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet. I am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide pet care services for your fur babies. On Sundays, I am available anytime after 12:30 p.m., following church services. My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.

“Kathryn was absolutely wonderful with our 2 fur babies! She was diligent with checking in/providing updates and she sent us plenty of pictures 🥰 Our boys seemed happy and settled in Kathryn’s care (like we weren’t even gone). I would recommend Kathryn over and over (and hope she comes back in the future to sit for us again)!”


“Riley did a fantastic job while we were away for 7 days. He did not leave Milo alone other than to run an errand or get something to eat. It was our first time leaving Milo and I was very hesitant but Riley was very responsive to all my inquiries and sent me pictures and texts about he was as doing. I would definitely recommend him and will refer him to all my friends. Thank you so much Riley for a job well done.”


About: I've cared for dogs since I was 8 years old. I always had a passion for animals. I'm known for my love of dogs, and my genuine interest in their well being. I currently have a dog and she is very calm and well mannered she gets along with a lot of dogs. I currently work part time. So I have plenty of time for your special one. I will walk them several times daily with love and care. I have a balcony so your pet can sun bathe. And our complex have plenty of areas for your pet to run and play. I can create if needed.

“We’re Weimaraner owners and having big dogs can be a challenge when you’re looking for the right sitter who will meet all your dogs needs so they don’t become destructive or depressed and Robert met all of our dog’s needs on our first trip away after losing our older dog. I will be recommending Robert in the future. He went above and beyond by helping us with our plants as well.”


About: I’m a calm, detail-oriented animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even rabbits. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a mellow senior, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m available on weekends and happy to help with walks, playtime, feedings, and keeping routines consistent while you’re away. I have an anxious pup at home so I have experience with that and administering medication when needed. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I work my full time job Tuesday-Friday and half days most Mondays. I’m available during weekends and even flexible some weekday evenings if our schedules align. No early mornings during the week. I have 2 territorial pups at home so I can’t bring in other animals. I’m happy to come to your home while you are away to help with consistent routine.

“Mel was wonderful with our dog, cat, and rabbit! She was very detailed with her updates and questions, something we really value and appreciate in a sitter. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Looking forward to her next visit!”
