“This was the first time leaving Gracie for several days. Mel did such a great job keeping her anxiety level low. We felt keeping Gracie in her own home environment would be the best. Mel did such a wonderful job taking care of Gracie. We will definitely use Mel the next time! I would highly recommend her!”

“I was able to leave my two dogs for a week without any worries knowing Daniel was taking care of them. We have worked with Daniel before and will continue to moving forward.”

“Mark was incredible…he did overnight stays with our 11 year old blind, deaf pup without any hesitation. He is a great communicator and left the house in perfect condition. As this was a new arrangement, he asked questions to make sure something wasn’t out of the ordinary for our extraordinary pup, which I appreciate as he has truly had only 1 sitter in nearly 11 years! I cannot recommend him enough and we are actively booking out the rest of the year with him!”

“We had an amazing experience with Allyson! From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about our two dogs' well-being. Both pups were so well taken care of, and we loved receiving updates and pictures while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with Allyson again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”


“Noel is amazing. She’s kind, attentive and connected easily with my dogs. She sent pictures and texts during the weekend and addressed their needs exceptionally well. Teddy & Pip were happy and relaxed when we got home.”


“Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.”
About: I have always had dogs, from puppies to seniors, and from large dogs to small dogs. I have particular experience caring for senior dogs, large dogs, and hyperactive dogs, though I of course love dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels :) For the past 4 years I have worked as a paid dog sitter. I have also worked as a cat sitter and have experience with cats at home. Don’t tell all of the dogs in my life, but I may be slowly converting to cat person! I do have a part-time job, but I do have a flexible schedule where I can make time to take care of your pet. This includes critical times like midday, afternoon, and evenings. As the services I offer are in the client's home and neighborhood, I make sure to be respectful of their space and surroundings. Cleaning up messes/toys, scooping litter boxes, picking up poop, etc. are all basics that I make sure to do.

“I had never used Rover before Emily took care of Beaumont. I will definitely use the service again because of my great experience with her. She kept me updated and sent adorable photos of Beau!”


About: A self-proclaimed "cat lady" and lover of animals who's spent years caring for furry family members as well as the lovely homes of their people. (I take great pet pics, too!) It began in the 2000's aughts when I lived at my aunt and uncles home in Maryland, when I took care of their Golden, three cats, and home while they were (often) away. I extended my support to other family/friends. I've also administered meds for pets, including senior pets, and helped pets with bad backs ensure they stay healthy by not jumping, etc. In the real world, I am a communications pro and vocalist who appreciates cool people and cool art. Pets are a gift in life! I am super flexible to adapt to anyone's schedules and routines, seven days per week, morning, afternoon, or evening. My own pet is cared for throughout the day, every day. With my own cat, she eats five times per day (small portions of wet and dry), I play with her, clean her litter box, and attempt to snuggle with her every day. For those with dogs, I basically adhere to their routine. If they can/want to go for longer or more walks, I can support that!
About: I just love critters! I love hanging out with your furry legged friends and would love to take care of yours if at all possible. I do work full time: however, I have my own transportation and can be somewhat flexible on my office hours. I’m used to working crazy hours all day! Can do drop ins as well as overnights, but will need to go into the office during the day. I make sure they’re happy and comfortable, following instructions to a T and spending as much time as possible with them to ensure they’re happy and healthy!
“Emily was AMAZING as a house sitter! She was so great with our kitty Saber, even when he had some accidents. She honestly went above and beyond to keep the rest of the house clean. She was very responsive and detail-oriented. Cannot recommend more!!!”

“Morgan did a wonderful job taking care of our two high energy GSDs while we were gone over the weekend. She communicated well keeping us updated with texts and photos. We came back to two happy and healthy boys, we would definitely book with her again.”

“Marissa did an absolutely fabulous job of taking care of our two "elderly" greyhounds for a week. She made them comfortable and secure by sticking to their routine and gave them lots of love. She sent pictures and gave us regular updates and was very responsive to any questions that we had so we never had to wonder what was going on. I would highly recommend Marissa!!”

“Eddie was great! I’ve got a medically complex pittie and Eddie handled his meds and needs professionally and compassionately! Maverick was comfortable and safe, which allowed me to relax on vacation without worrying! Would definitely book again!”

“Jennifer was awesome! She took excellent care of our two dogs, Kona and Milo, while we were out of town. She was very friendly and sent frequent updates letting us know how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend her!”
“Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!”

“Jacob is amazing and extremely mindful of our dogs wellbeing and the upkeep of the house. We love when he comes to sit and have peace of mind that everything is taken care of! Thanks 🫶”

Emily did such a wonderful job taking care of my girl. She sent regular, helpful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. I came home to a very happy dog, and she was also incredibly respectful of my house. I would definitely have her back.

Angela did a PHENOMENAL job at taking care of my kittens. It was hard to leave them for the weekend because they’re still young, and I’ve only had them a month, but Angela being there brought me such a sense of relief and comfort. She gave in-depth updates and loads of pictures throughout the booking. She was also incredibly respectful of my place and went above and beyond cleaning (it was literally cleaner when I got back than it was when I left). I will absolutely be booking again, and can’t thank her enough for her professionalism and care provided for my lil babies 🥹

DJ was absolutely wonderful! In the face of some extenuating circumstances he took great care of our pup. We’ll definitely be keeping him in mind for any future sittings as he was prompt with replies and sent so many updates allowing us to enjoy our vacation with very little worry!
