Sophia did a great job and accepted my booking very last minute. My dogs loved her and she was very professional. I'd highly recommend her services as she is trustworthy and very accommodating. Happy to see college students with a passion for animals on this app.

Hannah did amazing watching my fur babies for me while I was out of town! She made sure to give my spoiled cat and dog all the treats, cuddles, and play time they needed and kept me up to date with pictures/videos. Highly recommend (:

Gem was amazing! My pup has really bad separation anxiety and is skittish around most people. He warmed right up to Gem! 10/10 recommend :)

Lexi did a great job with my boys. They were healthy and happy upon my return. She provided updates when possible since I had limited cell service. I have already booked a second visit.

Kandy was wonderful with our quirky and special cat Speck. Speck tends to stress out with new people but she was totally fine with Kandy. It was very comforting to know she was well taken care of while we were gone.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our three dogs received! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear she treated them not just as clients, but as her own — they were loved, comfortable, and happy the entire time. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!

We’ve had Tracey stop by our home twice now and could not recommend her more. She respects our home and our dog who can be picky about who he likes, loves her. She did phenomenal in reading his cues and being patient until he warmed up! Highly recommend Tracey!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages and sizes since I was young and none have given me any trouble. I don’t mind picking up messes that any dog might make. I absolutely love playing with them and taking them on walks. I doordash as my job so my availability is 100% open to any kind of needs your dog has. I pick what hours I work with door dash but normally I’ll door dash throughout the day then come home for the day around 5. Although when watching any animal I tend to switch up my hours so I can make sure your pup is getting all the love and attention it needs. I like to keep a clean house so no dog has a chance to get into anything that could harm them or chew on anything not wanted.

About: I don’t just watch dogs—I get to know them. Whether it’s helping puppies learn the ropes or giving senior pups slow, cozy care, I tailor every visit to what your dog actually needs. I’m patient, upbeat, and love turning training moments into fun games. I pay close attention to each dog’s unique needs, energy level, and personality—because great care isn’t one-size-fits-all. And yes, I’m the sitter who celebrates every tail wag like it’s an achievement. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time Monday–Friday from 8–4, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I also have holidays and summers off, which gives me plenty of flexible time for daytime walks, drop-ins, and longer stays when needed. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a safe, structured environment by following your pet’s routine exactly as you outline it. In your home, I respect your space, secure doors and gates, and keep all food, treats, and cleaning supplies out of reach. I monitor pets closely during walks and use sturdy leashes and proper equipment. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.

Cody was awesome! He did some house sitting with my two dogs over a four day period. I never worried once after he came to meet and greet with our dogs and get acquainted before we left on a trip. He was flexible and willing to make an extra trip to let my dogs out one last time before we got home. Very appreciative of him!

About: I’ve grown up with pets! My mom has even owned 3 deer. She currently has 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve always loved animals and will do whatever it takes to make sure you and your pet are comfortable I currently work full time as a manger, however my hours are 8-4 and I usually get out earlier. I will be there throughout the night/ early mornings to do whatever is needed. My pets are fed 3 times a day and have open water to drink throughout the day. My mom has 14 acres and they free roam. However if I’m watching someone else’s pet that will not happen and they will be leashed.

Jennifer and her husband took amazing care of my dogs and house! They followed all of the routines I gave them and even went above and beyond by washing their bed sheets and towels, re-making the beds and taking out the trash. I came home to a clean house and happy pups! It was nice being away and not having to worry about a thing back home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thank you guys!!

Alaska stayed with my loving senior cat Quincy for 3 weeks while we were abroad. She did a wonderful job! Quincy was soon bonded to her and she sent wonderful videos showing how happy he was with her! When we returned, the house was in great shape...clean, neat, and plants and fish looking healthy. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any pet owner.

We have had Bessie watch our dog, Margo, several times and she has always done a phenomenal job. Bessie always takes care of Margo's fundamentals, and also make sure she has a great time with walks and play time. I think Margo seems genuinely happy when Bessie watches her. Sometimes, when using Rover, you know you come home and there's like a feeling that your dog was stressed. We have never had that feeling with Bessie. Always come home to a very happy dog!

Alyssa is an exceptional dog sitter and exceeded my expectations. My German Shepherd, Ava, is highly independent and energetic with borderline diva tendencies. Alyssa had my girl for a week while I was hiking in the Black Hills. From her pics and communication, I could see that Ava was in good hands. Alyssa treated my Ava and my home as if it was her own—I’m so glad I found her! I will continue to use Alyssa and recommend her highly.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life and have always had a passion for doing so. No task is too big or too small for me when it comes to giving your pet the best care it can have. Whether they be young or old, big or small, or somewhere in between I know I care provide the best care for your dog. I have much experience with dogs in different health conditions as well. There is no accommodation I can’t meet and nothing that will stop me from giving your furry family member anything it needs. At the moment, I am on summer break from college so I have a very open schedule to help care for your pet and provide it anything it needs, no matter the time or day. I have a large open yard, in a quiet part of town that your pet can run around and play in. I also have two dogs of my own that are very friendly and would love to keep you pet company. I have experience in making accommodations for their diet and I can also help give them any sort of medication they might need. While caring for dogs in other homes I will respect the boundaries you have given to me and your furry family member.

I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available in the evenings and the weekends and I’m not opposed to staying overnight to keep your fur baby company.

My children are college age now and I have more time to on my hands and live animals so this was a natural fit!
