“Wow! Communication was exceptional by Cheyenne! She messaged us when she arrived and left, when she walked our dog, Gracie; how Gracie behaved for her; photos of our happy little girl; and when she was fed and did her business. Hire Cheyenne! You will NEVER be disappointed! What an outstanding find for us on Rover! This was our first booking, and we could not be more pleased. It is unusual to find someone like Cheyenne, these days, who does what they say the will do without fail; every single day! In our opinion. Cheyenne is a gem!”

“Best dog friend we have ever found. Extremely attentive, stayed with the dogs the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Elizabeth made sure our thunderstorm-shy puppy had his meds well in advance of the storm and even let one of the puppies sleep on the bed with her (turns out he does not share the bed well). We cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough and will always check with her first when we go out of town!”

“Morgan was very accommodating and responsive. She sent us pictures of the dogs while we were away, and the house was neat and clean when we returned. We would use her again.”

“Greatly appreciate Sawyer watching our golden retriever… she is well taken care of (sometimes we think she doesn’t even miss us!). Sawyer is dependable and flexible—adjusting on the fly when plans change. Thank you Sawyer!!”


“Nathan took amazing care of my dog and two cats! He sent picture updates everyday and kept my house so clean :) my pets were in the best hands and I can’t recommend him enough! Book w Nathan 🙏🏼”


About: I have been taken care of dogs and cats for almost as long as I can remember. I have been a reliable person for friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets. I have the availability to stay at the house or just do daily drop ins. I am currently job hunting and available whenever I'm needed. I occasionally help my sister with her kids and a family friend clean her house, but I am able to work around those. I have the availability to keep your fur babies company overnight, for the day, or whatever is needed. I am open and know my schedule ahead of time.
“Sierra was an awesome sitter. As a nervous doggo mom, she was awesome with communication and sending pictures with updates. I would certainly recommend her to my friends and family.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life including cats, dogs, fish, rabbits and even goats! I have previous experience petting sitting for my neighbors and have always been a reliable pet sitter for friends and family. I’m currently working remotely so I am available most weekdays and all weekends. I am also available to take on more unusual times such as very early in the morning or night! I am comfortable navigating the needs of all pets such as play time, outside time and walking. I am a fast learning that can easily fit into your schedule
“Another great stay with our boys! She takes great attentive care of our animals and I love all the updates! Emily even cleaned our dog toys that were outside and a few dishes I had left in the sink! She’s the best!”

“Lashyia was a fantastic and reliable pet sitter who went above and beyond in watching my 3-month old puppy. She worked on training with her and left everything clean and tidy. I absolutely recommend her and plan to use her services again when I’m next out of town.”

“With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”

“Camdyn did such a great job with our 2 dogs and 1 cat! She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates. She also took great care of our home. Highly recommend her!”

“We had a fantastic experience with Christopher! He was prompt and responsive during booking and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. He was so patient, understanding, and easygoing with our Floydie, who has anxiety and past trauma from an abusive situation, which meant the world to us. Christopher sent regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind, and we came home to our house exactly as we left it. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”

“Zach was great - girls seemed happy and tired when we got home. The house was left like we left it and he was very communicative. We had a water issue with the cold weather and he kept us in the loop and sent a video of what was happening. Will definitely rebook.”

“Excellent per usual! Gianna is quite accommodating., including on short order! She is caring of Gracie, our Chihuahua-Jack Russel little girl, and shared pics of her with us during the sitting. Gianna is engaging, prompt and fosters fun interactions. Hire her! She will not disappoint you or your pets.”

About: My name is Patience and I would love to care for your dog! I have had personal pets for over 10 years and have been fostering rescue dogs for about 2 years. My husband and I have a large home and several friendly personal dogs. We have a privacy fence for potty time and plenty of space to separate dogs should that be necessary. We love large breed dogs, especially bully breeds, but also have experience with small and toy breeds. I work from home during the day so your pup would be able to spend the day playing. We do crate during meal time and when we are not home, which is never for more than a few hours. We would love to care for your pup in a safe and clean environment so that you can enjoy your vacation worry free!
“Emily is fantastic! She house sat our pack recently and we came home to three happy healthy dogs. The house was left spotless and we will definitely be booking her again for all our upcoming adventures. She asked many questions and took lots of notes prior to taking care of our dogs and gave us updates along the way. We never worried that our dogs were not having a great time being looked after by Emily.”

“Absolutely phenomenal sitter and we will 100% ask her to look after our kitty again. She loved her just as much as we do and we can’t be more thankful. She was a great houseguest and she was a great sitter.”
