Laura watched our dog at our home while we were away for a few days. She did an excellent job with our dog and treated our home with respect. We will definitely reach out in the future when we can't bring our pup on trips! Highly recommend Laura

I couldn’t have imagined a better sitter than Jess. She went above and beyond to care for our puppy and 2 cats. I received frequent updates and photos and reassurance that everything was going well. Our puppy wasn’t feeling well while we were away and Jess took such good care of her that I didn’t even have to worry. I recommend Jess for anyone that is looking for a caring, reliable and responsible sitter who will love your pet like her own.

I could not be more pleased with McKenna watching my Lily! She accommodated a last-minute request, and I am so grateful she was available. My Lily can be a handful at times, but she took to McKenna, relaxed, and was a very good girl. I received photos and updates while away, which put me at ease so I could fully enjoy my time away from my fur baby. McKenna is such a lovely, sweet young woman who clearly loves and knows how to care for pets. I felt great having her in my home watching over my sweet, sometimes not-so-sweet, Lily. I would contact McKenna again without hesitation. She is amazing!

About: I love animals. I’ve taken care of my household dog, Rottweiler (Tank), before the age of 1 up until 10 years old. We recently got a Cane Corso (Kanan) in 2024 and he was under 1 as well. I’m patient, I love teaching and playing with them. I am a kid at heart. I work from home most days, though I head into the office once every two weeks. My schedule is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a lunch break in the middle. Since I’m home a lot and have my own car, it’s easy for me to fit in up to three walks a day or spend extra time house sitting if needed. This opportunity will for sure be the highlight of my day. I’m great at following any routine you already have in place for your dog, and I’m happy to keep up with any training or habits you’re working on. When I care for pets, I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and have fresh water at all times. I also love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and walks to keep them happy and comfortable while you’re away.

It was a very nice experience having Veronica cat sit my two fur babies. She was very good at communicating and very responsible! My cats really took to her fast, considering I have one that is very cautious around new people, was warming up to her quickly. When I came home things felt very good, the cats seemed happy and things went very smooth overall! I felt I could trust her so I was at ease while away! Will call again! :)

Nya was probably the best rover we've ever had. She clearly loved hanging out with our dog+cat and they just as clearly adored her! I loved getting her photos of the animals and their escapades together. She also left the house REALLY clean. I also had a bunch of packages arrive while she was gone because of gifts shipped off our baby shower registry, and Nya brought them all upstairs for us. I can't recommend Nya highly enough. She is a consummate professional and your animals are in safe hands with her.

About: Hi! My name is Sandra, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have over 12 years of hands-on pet care experience and a strong professional background working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I previously worked as a manager at a doggy daycare, grooming, and boarding facility, where I supervised group play, ensured safety, assisted with grooming needs, and provided daily care for multiple dogs at once. I also worked closely with a professional dog trainer for three years, gaining experience with basic training, leash handling, behavior management, and reading canine body language. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, high-energy dogs, seniors, and multi-dog households. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific instructions, and adjusting care to each dog’s individual needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, with availability on weekdays 6am-8am and anytime after 4pm and most weekends. I’m happy to communicate and work around your pet’s routine to ensure consistent and reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are extremely important to me. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, training rules, and household routines. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and stress signals, and I prioritize calm, positive interactions. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. For walks and outings, I use proper leash handling and remain alert to surroundings at all times. With my professional background in daycare and training environments, you can trust that your pet will be cared for responsibly, patiently, and with genuine love.

About: I grew up taking care of neighborhood strays in India. My favorite story to tell is how I had multiple pet squirrels in India! Ask me to show you photos :) I have a lot of love for both dogs and cats, and because I can't bring a pet into my family right now, this is how I'm choosing to share it! I'm currently only working gigs as I figure out my next step forward, so I'm very frequently available and open to last minute requests! It's all an adventure and I get to do what I love. I have good experience with large dogs to ensure they don't run off or get into fights. I pet sit for friends often because I'm currently between jobs, so I have a lot of experience with a large variety of dogs (and one tabby!)

Beth was very communicative and flexible while accommodating our last minute plans to travel for Christmas Eve and Day. I met with Beth prior to our travel and she asked questions, provided references who were happy to provide glowing recommendations, and even returned back to meet my spouse who wasn’t available at our initial meeting. During our travel she took very good care of my dog and parrot, providing updates throughout the two days she was watching them including photos of our pets which set our minds at ease knowing our animals looked happy and well taken care of while we were away. There were absolutely zero issues with Beth. We are so happy to have found a trusted pet sitter to watch our pets.
