“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”
“Keisha was a Godsend, one of our cat's requires daily meds, which he hates taking, and she made sure he got them with understanding and positivity, even when personally tested knowing the need that he received them.”
“Jamie is awesome! She was so personable with our kitties and they loved her! During a weekend overnight stay, we got many updates and great photos. One of our cats has anxiety issues and Jamie provided recommendations to help us ease her nerves when meeting new people. Highly recommend her!”
“Adrinne was incredible! She took great care of our dog, Rita, taking her on my walks, to dog-friendly coffee shops, and many snuggles. She sent photos and updates every day. We would highly recommend her and look forward to having her back!”
“Jasmine was a fantastic person to have house sit for our pets! She sent many updates and photos. I know that she took the best care of our Great Dane (and cat!). I would highly recommend her! Hope we can book her again.”
“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”
“Wonderful!!! Charlie was so relaxed when I got home which I think speaks volumes to how comfortable he was with Melissa. They played, cuddled and went for a bunch of walks. I loved the photos!!❤️ I will definitely be booking Melissa again for my sweet little peanut!”
“Could not recommend more! Was amazing with my dog and when I got stuck and had to stay an extra day got me out of a tight spot by continuing to look after my dog! I would recommend to anyone and will be using again!”
“Jo is simply the best sitter out there! She takes care of my dog so well and treats him like a king. He has his own vacation when I’m gone and I could not recommend Jo enough to take care of your furry family. I know mine already misses her!”
“Carly was so great to work with! She was prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet! She was able to work with our schedule and took great care of our pets. I got daily updates with some great pictures of Melody and Theo! Would definitely like to work with her again!”
About: For the last five years, I have worked at zoos, shelters, and sanctuaries with a variety of animals! In the past I have owned reptiles, and I currently own one dog and three cats. Additionally, I usually have at least one foster animal in my care at all times. I understand that each animal is an individual and will adjust my behavior accordingly. I am happy to be active if your dog is a runner, or a couch potato if they're more of a snuggler! I have experience providing medication and special diets. I am currently working with my dog to decrease his reactivity and my cats on harness training! I am more than happy to do any enrichment or training you request with your furry friend! I am currently between jobs and have few set commitments. This allows me to be extremely flexible in my schedule for all your pet care needs! I ensure that in addition to basic necessities, my animals are given physical and mental enrichment each day, whether it's a training session with my dog or a puzzle feeder for the cats. I am more than happy to do the same for your pets!
“Catherine did a great job. She took great care of our dog and two cats. She asked a lot of great questions that I wouldn’t have even thought about. Very thoughtful and thorough. We will definitely be asking her to petsit again.”
“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”
About: I LOVE DOGS. Their lives are short, and I want to help them enjoy those years with comfort, care, and fun. I have had a dog companion in my life since I was five years old. I especially enjoy caring for high-energy dogs who need regular exercise—I’m always up for long walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures. I also have experience with senior dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and keeping routines consistent. I’ve successfully trained dogs to potty outside, sit on command, and even walk off-leash. Whether your pup is young and active or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I function better with a dog at my side. Dogs help me start my day with purpose—there’s nothing like a good morning walk to get us both moving and ready for breakfast and whatever the day brings. I love building routines that keep dogs active, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to be fully present for pet care throughout the day. With cats, I understand how much they value consistency. I’m attentive to their morning and evening routines—feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them space or affection depending on their mood. I also make time for play and interaction throughout the day, based on each cat’s personality. Communication is everything. I try to make sure I understand each animal's boundaries and needs before providing care, this includes list of allergies and medications.
“Travis was fantastic as our pet sitter. He was reliable, attentive, and genuinely cared for our pets. One of our dogs needed eye drops, and Travis handled it with ease. The pets were happy and well-cared for when we returned. Highly recommend!”
“It was so nice to have Kathryn stay with Autumn while we were away. Kathryn is sweet, responsive and kind. She sent me several pictures during her time with Autumn..”

I’m so thankful to Jaime for looking after our little, nervous pup. Sugar’s a special guy, and it’s not easy for him to feel relaxed around new people — but Jaime made me feel at ease from the very first meeting. Thanks for being such a huge help so we could enjoy our wedding party. It was a wild night (storm and all!), and somehow Sugar still seemed calm with Jaime! I know I can count on her again, and I felt totally comfortable having her in our home.
This was our first time having a house sitter/Rover care giver, and Jackie really helped put our minds at ease! She was lovely keeping our dogs comfortable and calm during the very loud local air show while we were away. Our pup Frankie had a tummy issue and bad accident in her crate, and Jackie gave her a bath and cleaned everything up amazingly. We are very grateful for all her work!
Zoey was phenomenal!! She is truly a natural with animals. Zoey took such good care of our dog, Rocket. Our dog has a unique personality and isn’t the greatest walker, but Zoey handled his differences and challenges with kindness and ease. I never worried once while she watched Rocket. Thanks for doing so well, Zoey!!
