“John was so good with my dogs and cats, I immediately felt comfortable with him caring for them. The pictures and videos he sent showed content and happy pets that were having fun and clearly enamored with him. The house was tidy and everyone was happy and relaxed when we arrived home. Thank you!!”


“My dog and cat LOVED Chanelle!! She gave them so much love and took amazing care of them. She gave me a lot of updates which put my mind at ease while I was away. Would definitely use her again!!”


“We recently chose Alyssa to care for Lucy and our house during week-long trip, and we were absolutely thrilled with the service. She went above and beyond our expectations. Alyssa was prompt and professional, and we felt completely confident that Lucy was in good hands. She took excellent care of our sweet girl who can be prone to anxiety and stress as she has gotten older. Alyssa provided plenty of playtime, company, and snuggles- ensuring Lucy was fed and watered, and given meds as instructed. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, which allowed us to stay connected and see how happy and stress-free Lucy was. Upon our return, it was as though we never left! . Furthermore, Alyssa also maintained our house with care, ensuring it was secure and clean. We're very happy with the service and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet and house sitter. Alyssa’s dedication to animal welfare and attention to detail made our vacation worry-free.”


“John was a fantastic sitter! He was able to watch our dog with short notice. He made sure to stop by for a meet up before watching her. He sent so many pictures while watching her and gave us many updates, which made us feel secure with him watching our girl. Highly recommend!”


“Mary was amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my 4 month old puppy, and she made us so comfortable. She sent photos of him playing, walking, etc. and even let him sleep in bed with her! Mary also left our home clean and tidy, which was appreciated!”


“Kaelin did a wonderful job taking care of our house and two dogs for six days while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and seemed to really enjoy her time with the dogs. I recommend her services wholeheartedly!”


“Morgan is fantastic! Reliable and super nice and competent. We felt super comfortable having her stay in our house with our senior dog. When coming home we found a happy dog and a clean house. I can only recommend her! Thanks, Morgan!”


“Bicky was an amazing pet sitter for my dog Moose. She sent lots of updates and pictures, and she was super patient with my dog who is really shy around strangers. Bicky even sent updates about my cat even though she was only being paid to care for our dog. I will definitely be using Bicky again in the future!!”


About: I have been working in boarding facilities for over 3 years and I have been pet sitting for about 2 years. I absolutely love pets and enjoy spending time with them. I have experience in administering medication, dog training, walks and house sitting. I work at a boarding facility where I am with many pets daily in a daycare setting or just providing basic care as far as walking them, feeding and medicating them, keeping log of how they are potting and of course giving them lots of snuggles. I am soon going back to school and looking for a way to continue to do something I enjoy while being in school. When I visit your pets in your home my main goal is to provide the same amount of care and be very attentive as if they were my pet. I ensure the pets remain comfortable and abide by house rules (maybe not allowed to be on furniture or not allowed in certain rooms) while giving them lots of love and snuggles.

“Leo was so happy when I got back. For me Hannah was the perfect pet sitter. She arrived on time even early and we had a chance to go over some notes. She took him walking and sent pictures. Such a friendly pet sitter !”


“Michelle is the BEST! You can be comfortable knowing she’s taking the best care of your babies. Very communicative, sends lots of pictures, and absolutely loves them like your own. Cant recommend her enough”


About: I've cared for a wide range of animals in my life; but mostly cats and dogs. I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs and I find it very easy and fun to work with them. I've raised kittens and puppies, as well as elderly animals. I have no issues with feeding, walking, or cleaning up after any animal. During the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, I have some time off from college and want to spend that extra time interacting with pets! I can work every day of the week and the weekend and can also do overnight care. I have a very reactive dog at my house that can be hard to control, but I'm able to get him on walks without escaping my grip. I'm stronger than I look! But I also treat animals with the utmost respect and kindness. I don't believe in negative reinforcement and I will treat your pet like royalty!

“I had a wonderful experience with Kristin and my pup, Maggie, absolutely adores her! Kristin took Maggie for long walks on our normal route which helped Maggie meet her daily step goal and also kept her routine in line with what she knows. Kristin sent me many updates, videos, and pictures of Maggie while I was away and I could see how much fun Maggie was having which was such a joy to see. I highly recommend Kristin and will definitely be reaching out to her again for my next trip.”


About: I’ve had dogs all my life, from childhood family pets, to dogs of my own. We’ve always treated them like part of our family, with lots of attention, care & love (walking, playing, feeding & bathing). I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to be home & available during the week as needed. I can work with your schedule. I have a fenced in back yard, currently no pets, and 2 children ages 16 & 11 who are also really great with pets (here every other week). Plenty of space for a crate (if needed), but lots of room to play, relax and watch endless birds & squirrels outside too. We offer a very peaceful, organized & clean indoor environment, classical music, with lots of attention, affection and playtime. Bathing & extra pampering if requested.

“Lexi was great with Teddy! We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. She was very communicative, and sent us great videos of them playing and having some snuggles on the couch. He clearly had a great time with her.”


About: I have had pets since I was young and love playing with them and taking them to the dog park by my house. I can take them to the dog park. I keep food and water dishes full and let them out when needed and sometimes go out to play with them (as long as it isn’t too hot for them). I love animals and am looking to be a groomer. I have taken some animal science classes so I know how to give shots if needed. I have watched my neighbors pets on multiple occasions. I love to take pets on walks and I love to spoil them with attention. I currently have 2 dogs both of which are German Shepherds. I have pets of my own and dog sit for friends throughout the year. I take care of dogs on a daily basis and fully believe they are a part of the family. I am willing to spend the night to care for the pets. I do ask for instructions for feeding, care, health, or crate to ensure proper care is taken into consideration.

“Jenn was AMAZING with our two rambunctious doggos. We were using Rover for the first time for our wedding and were going to be gone for 4-5 days. Jenn was willing to come over a couple of times to see the dogs and calm my nerves about the entire process. She stayed at our house for the time and really made the dogs feel comfortable and I don't think they really missed us, which is exactly what we had hoped for. She sent us pictures pretty much every day and even my finicky eater, didn't skip a meal while Jenn was around. We really appreciated working with her and look forward to doing so again!”

Jordan L.
“I cannot recommend Jordan highly enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear that she truly cares about animals and treat them like family. She took the time to get to know my dogs — Nala, Hudson, & Beau — and made sure they were comfortable and happy while we were away. Throughout the sitting, Jordan sent regular updates, including photos and little notes about how the day went. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that our pups were in such capable and loving hands. When we returned, everything was just as we left it — clean, tidy, and everybody was relaxed and well cared for. It’s clear that Jordan goes above and beyond. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, she does it all with genuine care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly great with animals, Jordan is the one! I absolutely cannot recommend her enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
