1. Mary M.

“Mary was amazing she knew exactly what to do for the weekend while I was away and was able to spend time with my dog Jax and Cat Scout. I will definitely use Mary again in the future”


2. Julia B.

“Julia has watched my 11 week old puppy a couple times now and I have nothing but good things to say about her. She is very kind and knowledgeable. She keeps me updated with pictures and texts the whole time which I really appreciate. I always feel comfortable having her in my apartment to look after my little baby. I highly recommend her!!”


3. Theresa C.

“This a second review and want to acknowledge what lovely care Theresa took of my 2 dogs. They were extremely happy when we came home and I know they were well cared for in our absence.”


4. Lusianna M.

“Finn was well cared for and very happy to have spent the day with Lucy. We will be scheduling more time with Lucy and would confidently recommend her to others.”


5. Hector L.

“Immediately after meeting Hector, we knew he'd be a great fit. Both dogs loved him, even the one who can be a bit particular and moody. He gave regular updates with great pics, was happy to reinforce training and commands we use, and it was everything we could have asked for. As a bonus he has a ton of experience with dogs as he runs a local dog kennel! Highly recommend and will be booking Hector in the future.”


6. Karina S.


“Great communication and frequent updates which was helpful and reassuring since it was our first time with us away. Would definitely use again!”




7. Joshua N.


“This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous to dive in with a 3 night house sit. Josh made sure to send daily photos of my dog on walks or playing. He left my house clean and without asking he brought in the mail and took out the trash. I already have another service booked with him and would recommend him to others.”


8. Marisa M.

“I highly recommend Marisa. She took great care of our dog in our home. She sent daily updates and photos while we were away. We returned home to a happy dog and a clean house. Marisa is responsible, reliable, kind and it is evident that she loves animals.”


9. Gail S.

“Gail took an excellent care of our elderly dog and our cat! She sent me updates regularly and I felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care.”


10. Norah P.

“Norah was amazing! My dog can be a little skeptical at times and she took the time to stay as long as she could at out meet and greet until they became comfortable with each other. She was on time, gave updates and sent pictures. 10 out of 10”


11. Midori L.

“Midori was 100% reliable and took wonderful care of our two dogs for the week we were away. We got daily photos and updates which made us more comfortable about leaving them for such a long time. She stayed over at night so they weren’t alone and everything was neat and tidy when we returned. We highly recommend Midori for any pet sitting needs.”


12. Brittany B.

“Brittany was amazing watching our two dogs for the day in our home. We felt so comfortable with her watching them, got photos and updates throughout the day.”


13. Hunter F.

“Hunter was really accommodating when we got sick while trying to schedule our meet & greet for a last minute trip. She did great with the dogs & allowed us a stress free weekend away!”


14. Aston J.
“Aston is absolutely amazing with dogs! The fact that he is also a dog trainer gives added assurance he can handle walking any dog, even those that need a little added care/attention. Aston has helped walk my huskies for years. He has been with them through the rambunctious years and now helps in their senior years. They love their time with Aston!”


15. Gayla O.

“Highly recommend Gayla for all your dog/house sitting needs. She keep us in the loop with pictures and video’s throughout our trip. Don’t think twice about hiring her!!”

About: I've been a pet a pet parent my whole life. I love all animals and will love your's too! Trusted by family, friends and neighbors. I can pet sit after 4pm on weekdays and any time on the weekends. I am available to stay over at your place on the weekend. Mature, reliable and trustworthy.

All are well taken care of and provided with plenty of love snuggles and kisses.


17. Seth C.

“Seth was great, and my dog seemed to actually like him (which is rare!). Plus he even washed a few dishes at my house :). I'd definitely recommend him.”


18. Paula S.

“I met Paula when I was walking my dog on the trail. She was running her dog. We stopped to chat about our dogs and I found out she was caring for the dog of a client. I feel lucky to have met her as she takes great care of our dog while we are away.”


19. Kimberly R.

“Kimberly is the best! She was so sweet and caring with our two cats. Will definitely use her again!”


20. Cruz Maria D.

“We were fortunate to have found Maria, having been in a pinch with our normal boarding facility due to Spring Break volumes this year. After a successful meet and greet in advance (our dogs loved being able to run around her fully fenced yard!), we moved forward with booking an overnight stay for our two girls, both of whom do have shades of separation anxiety due to their past lives (rescue dogs). Maria went above and beyond with updates, communication and photos while the girls were in her care, and didn’t flinch when one of our gals had some nerve induced potty accidents after drop off. Both dogs came home properly worn out and Maria even sent us home with Easter treat bags for both. We will definitely be keeping her in our “trusted contacts” list for future daycare / overnight stays.”
