Holly is great! She’s so kind, caring, and understanding. I had the opportunity to puppy sit for Milton. Milton is wild and crazy and she was nothing but calm and amazing energy. Holly will definitely be my go-to sitter/ walker. Thank you, Holly!

Paulina R. was great! My partner and I have never left our cats alone with someone who wasn't family before, and while we were very nervous about doing this for the first time, we needn't have worried with Paulina taking care of our babies. She made sure our 3 cats had meals on time, fresh water, got to play, and received lots of cuddles. She even somehow managed to make our really shy and anxious boy, Chompirras, feel safe enough to come out (he literally never comes out of hiding when strangers are at the house) and actually eat (he often goes on hunger strike for a day or two when we're not at home). Next time we're out of town, we'll be booking with Paulina :)

Eko and Sarah were great! They responded right away to my request and during their house-sitting they communicated any questions clearly. Got lots of pictures of our pup from their walks and overnight. It brought us such peace of mind that such lovely and attentive people were caring for our dog while we were away! Will definitely book with them again!

Nicole did an incredible job caring for our dog while we were away. She sent photos, spent quality time playing with him, and her thoughtful updates really put us at ease. She is kind, punctual, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We will definitely hire her again—thank you, Nicole!

About: I've absolutely adored animals of all kinds since I was a little kid. As an adult, I've worked in shelters, kennels, and in client's homes. I am also currently a certified professional dog trainer. Depending on the days, I may have to make short trips away to train my client dogs. I will gladly spend the entirety of the rest of my time with your pets, including overnights! I am happy to follow a schedule if one is provided. I will also provide video or picture updates as frequently as requested. I will also be happy to check the house the pet is staying in to make sure it's safe for the pet. Any messes or accident's are no problem for me to clean up and I will inform the owner about them.

Haleigh is amazing with both my very friendly and my very shy dog! She sat in the rain for an hour to win over my shy pup Bijou! By the end of her stay Bijou was sitting on Haleigh’s lap and getting lots of love! Haleigh is great at giving updates and notifying me of any concerns and sending pictures. One of my dogs is on a lot of pills and supplements and Haleigh made sure she took them all. I cannot recommend her enough!

About: What sets me apart is that I offer truly personalized, low-volume care in a calm home environment. Mine or yours. I only take one or two guest dogs at a time, so your dog gets lots of individual attention, affection, and supervision — not the chaos of a large kennel or crowded daycare setting. I’ve cared for six dogs of my own throughout my life and loved every one of them through all stages of life, including senior years and end-of-life care. I understand how important routines, patience, comfort, and trust are when caring for someone’s beloved pet. I love all dogs, but my home is especially well-suited for: • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Dogs needing medication or special routines • Dogs who don’t do well in large group settings • Dogs who are not friendly with other dogs* • Owners looking for flexible pickup/drop-off times Your dog will enjoy a fully fenced backyard, one daily leash walk, personalized feeding and medication schedules, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Plus flexible pick up and drop off times. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am willing to take 3 dogs, but only if they all come from the same home. *If you require your dog to be the ONLY dog in the household, please reach out to me before booking. I work primarily from home, so dogs in my care receive lots of companionship, supervision, outdoor time, and attention throughout the day — not long periods left alone. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, companionship, outdoor time, a daily walk, and personalized feeding or medication schedules. I only care for one or two dogs at a time to maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.

Lila was absolutely amazing. My dogs take a while to get used to new people. They are rescues and require A LOT of patience. Lila provided that and my dogs love her. I feel comfort in knowing my pups are with her.

Skylar was the best Rover sitter we’ve had! And we’ve used the app numerous times over the last 8+ years. She was very attentive to our 3 pups and cat. Took them on walks, played with them, and sent photos along the way. Something Skylar did that we’ve had no sitter do previously was leave our house in the exact same (maybe better) shape she found it, even wash/drying our bedding before leaving and washing all the dogs bowls. We’d recommend her to anyone and look forward to booking with her again in the future!

MacKenna was fantastic! She spent time with us and Nola prior to the visit to help Nola acclimate, it was clear MacKenna was comfortable with all types of animals. Nola is an anxious pup but settled well with her from the get go. During the homestay she gave us updates and photos to keep us in the loop. Would highly recommend!

Paulina is out go-to sitter! She is so attentive with our cats and gives us updates on their eating since they tend to go on food strikes. And ever in those food strikes goes out of her way to make sure they’re extra comfortable to encourage them to eat. Lucky to have Paulina helping us out with Chompy and Zuko! 🍀

Peggy was a great communicator from the start. She came over to meet the pups (they all loved her). She sent pics while away, cleaned up after them and left the house in great condition. They we’re well loved and taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Peggy! Highly recommend ⭐️

Tara was wonderful! She watched our two cats for a week while we were away and also helped take care of our home. She showed up promptly for a meet and greet before her stay and was warm and friendly with our cats. She stayed in excellent contact with us throughout our trip, and sent lots of adorable pictures. It’s clear that she adores cats and she was a perfect houseguest, as well. We would absolutely book Tara again!
