“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!!”


5. Regan P.


“Regan is the best Rover on the planet, possibly the universe. Regan continually updates on the dog’s status’, and responds promptly. Regan takes great pictures, and really takes the worry out of leaving your pets behind for a trip. As a hospitality professional myself, I cannot say enough about how great Regan is. BOOK REGAN!!!!”

8. Alethea S.


“I recently had the pleasure of having Alethia care for my dogs in my home and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the start, her communication was exceptional. She was incredibly thorough, asking detailed questions about my dogs' care and thinking ahead to ensure all their needs will be met. While I was away, she constantly kept me informed with the dogs and the activities of the day. Her proactive approach and attention to detail made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. I highly recommend Alethia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter.”


9. Janei W.
“Janei was great! She is super responsive in the app and she was so sweet when we met in person for a meet and greet with Olive. She took great care of Olive and our place while we were out of town and would definitely book with her again!”


10. Hayley J.

“Hayley was very communicative from the meet and greet through the last day of watching Jack and Cricket. She asked great questions from start to finish. And worked on making Cricket, who is nervous with new people walking her, as comfortable as possible. She also had no problem giving Jack his insulin shot. Leaving my two pups with a new person after having so many issues in the past with Rover gave me high anxiety, but all the pictures from Hayley helped ease my stress. We were so happy to come home to two well-taken care of pups. I will definitely ask Hayley to return for pup care. Thank you, Hayley!”




11. Sharon F.

12. Brooklyn T.
“Brooklyn has taken care of my pets for me multiple times and is incredibly reliable. She was able to adapt to our schedule and my pets’ needs. Caring for my two dogs and cat is no easy task but Brooklyn executed it perfectly. She knows how to interact and take care of all kinds of animals and I highly recommend her services.”


13. Krista M.

“Krista is so great with my pets and is very patient with my dog who has anxiety and people issues at times. She made homemade treats for the dogs and they loved having her there while we were gone. Would book again and again!”


14. AJ S.

16. Madyson F.
“Madyson is a very conscientious and attentive sitter. She follows instructions well and her first and foremost plan is to make sure that your pets are safe and socialized. She's been nothing but wonderful for my little girl and always arrives on time and with a positive attitude. She follow safety protocols and offers a bubbly and warm personality. There'll be no worries about your furry friends if you look to her for care.”


17. Tori L.

About: I've taken care of animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with several cats and dogs in my home. My love for them eventually grew into pet sitting for friends and family as well as volunteering with local animal shelters. I have experience with almost all breeds and all ages, from kitten/puppy to senior pets. I can accommodate special needs and administer medication (pills and injectable). I currently have 2 cats, but I adore dogs too (of all sizes/breeds)! I treat all pets with love and respect as if they were my own. Being self-employed, my schedule is very flexible. I'm available 7 days a week and happy to work around your schedule and your pets needs! My typical hours of service are between 7am-8pm, but earlier/later requests can be discussed prior to booking. When your pet is in my care, my goal is to love them and care for them like they're one of my own! I want to adapt to their needs whether that means a lot of play time, walks, or just some quality couch time. If your pet has any special needs or takes medication, I can accommodate and take care of them as needed. I'm experienced in administering pills and injectable medications (such as insulin).


18. Elizabeth M.


“Elizabeth took great care of our home and pups. She spent a lot of time with them and gave them a lot of love. I appreciate her daily check ins and photos!”




19. Jenn H.

“I am a neighbor of Jenn's and we frequently walk our dogs together. She is clearly very dedicated to her dog Dixie, and ensuring that Dixie gets her walks and play time. Jenn has helped me out with my dogs when I have needed help, and she has always been great with Gracie and Sully (both are dogs who do not warm up to most people--but they are very comfortable with Jenn, and that says a lot!) Jenn takes her commitments seriously, and always follows through when she says she will help. I would trust her with my pets any time!”


20. Eliza O.

“Eliza did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet pup, Teddy!! She was very attentive and took care of him like he was her own dog. She took him on walks in the morning and gave him lots of cuddles in the evenings. Also, she took great care of our house. Eliza send me lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated and put me at ease. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone and will be using her services again. Thanks Eliza😄”
