“Isis was extremely patient with our temperamental dogs. When one would not tolerate his harness being put on by a "stranger," she problem solved and used his collar while also communicating to us what was happening. She would send photo updates every day to show how the dogs' comfort levels improved. To top it off, we came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it!. Isis is amazing and wonderful!!!”


About: I started doing house sitting/pet sitting through families I cared for as a pre school teacher. It has grown to: “second families”, friends, co workers, references, etc. As sad as it is, I’ve also sat for animals in extremely poor medical conditions. This included going to the vet for meds. I had to gather a planner to keep track and trauma how I knew I was ready to begin doing more and more :) As I am writing this, I’m house sitting for a former co-worker. While working full time, I’m able to spend mornings/evenings and full days on weekends. I look forward to hearing from you! Please don’t hesitate to message and learn more! I look forward to speaking and honored to take care of your precious fur babies! I work a normal 9-5, and off on weekends! Always happy to help! I am flexible and easy to make a routine that fits you and your fur babies needs! I follow instructions very well for in the home, and love on your fur babies as if they are my own! There was isn’t anything I can’t handle! I also love snuggle bugs if you allow them in your beds! 😊

“Amazing sitter!! She did a meet and greet beforehand and was fantastic at communication! She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, it was clear my dog was well taken care of the whole time!”

I am trained in dog CPR, comfortable giving oral medications and experience with special needs dogs. I’m also organized, reliable and active- happy to take your pup on long walk or runs, depending on what makes their tail wag.

I make sure that their needs are met with love and consistency. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how things are going.

“Samantha has been reliable and very responsive before, during, and after dog sitting for our sweet Willow! She has shown patience while Willow warmed up to her, which was very comforting to know she was well taken care of while we're away. I highly recommend Samantha and am excited we've found a great dog sitter for our girl!”

I also have a fenced in yard. I’m willing to walk and play with them for however long you need!

“Tianna house sat for us and cared for our two dogs, two cats, and hamster for five days. Came home to happy/healthy pets and a clean house. Tianna was also very responsive to all messages.”


“Delia was wonderful with my dog, Haze, during her house sitting. Haze can be nervous around new people, but opened up to Delia instantly. Delia sent me tons of pictures throughout her stay, and is super patient, kind, and understanding with animals. I trust her whole heartedly!!”


“Alina has been a wonderful sitter for our 2 senior pups. She’s very attentive, communicative and so caring. One of our pups needs a little extra attention as he has separation anxiety and she is so patient with him. So happy we found Alina and will definitely use her for future stays!”


“Abby was great! Highly recommend using her. It was my first time leaving Hagrid with her and she took great care of him. I got photos and updates. She even brought him to the beach which he loves. Walks were always on time as requested and she left the house in immaculate shape. We look forward to having her help again when needed.”



“If we could give Shawn 10 stars, we would!!!! If you are reading this review and wondering whether you should hire Shawn, we'd say look no further and book Shawn now. We found Shawn after a last minute cancellation by another Rover dog sitter. He came right over to meet our dog, Art. Shawn was very responsible and responsive throughout our entire trip. He followed all of our pup's instructions exactly -- and went above board by giving Art lots of extra love and attention and even taking our pup on a pre-approved "field trips."”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10. Whether it be my own or my neighbors. I love to take walks and I treat all dogs with love as if they were my own. I’m currently available for the summer due to the fact that I’m home from college! I can walk anytime of the day and I’ll update my availability frequently in case anything comes up:) When walking dogs I think it’s important to always have poop bags on hand out of respect for neighbors and such. I also love to spoil them with a little treat after as well!

“We highly recommend Maddy. We have left our dog/cat/fish/chickens in her care several times within the last few years. We have been completely happy with her care for them. She is reliable, trustworthy, energetic, and mindful. She sends us frequent pictures/updates of our animals through out her stay with them. She leaves our house cleaner than what we left it as(and that isn't something we asked her to do)! She walks our dog, plays with her. Spends time with our cat.. feeds/waters chickens. Our dog gets so excited when she see her coming up the driveway. You won't be disappointed by having her care for your pets while you are away.”
