“Hadija was an amazing sitter! My dog is very afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks and Hadija made sure to comfort him and make him feel safe. She also provided a lot of updates and left our house in perfect condition. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Victoria is wonderful!! Having to leave our dogs at home is always difficult, but knowing Victoria was taking good care of our pups and giving them lots of snuggles was comforting. She even checked with me about halfway through our trip to see if she needed to pick up more meds for our one dog. She had noticed there were enough meds for while we were gone, but checked to see if we had another bottle or if we needed her to pick one up before we returned. That really impressed me! She also brought various puzzle toys of her own to keep our pups engaged and entertained. We will definitely book Victoria again in the future!”
“Eleanor was wonderful with my 3 dogs. She sent lots of pictures. The girls were happy and well taken care of. They got plenty of outdoor time and playtime with Eleanor. Would highly recommend Eleanor”
“Could not have had a better experience. Lots of communication. Great picture and video updates. The dogs were very happy and the house was perfect when we returned. Third experience booking through Rover, Best so far! Already rebooked.”
“She did so great with my two cats and one was a baby. She even helped me get them to get along which I couldn’t do. Shes the best! I had no issues or problems at all.”
“We had such a great experience with Toni! She took amazing care of our 3-month-old puppy, Frank, who is full of energy and can definitely be a bit chaotic. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, was on time, and super sweet with him. We got regular updates throughout the night, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can really tell she loves animals. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book her again!”
About: I've had pets all my life ranging from fish, hamsters, frogs, cats and dogs. They have all taught me appreciation towards companionship and the joys of being a pet owner. I have around 5 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends. I am also an Eagle Scout who loves the outdoors, so taking your dog(s) for a walk or to the park would be my pleasure. I'm currently working part time in the morning of weekdays. I am free to take care of your pets after 12 pm and anytime during the weekends. At home, I take care of my cat Pepe where i attentively pet him when he shows affection. I feed him 3 times a day and clean his litter box everyday. For when i watch your pet, I will love and care for it as if were my own. I have experience caring for and walking dogs in the past 5 years for family, friends and past roomates.
About: I have been dog sitting in different capacities since I was in high school. I started off dog sitting for family and neighbors and now have a base of returning clients, one of which has show dogs. I have even been hired by the IWCA (Irish Wolfhound Club of America) to watch puppies and walk dogs at an international show. I have a base knowledge for training basic skills such as sit, down, stay, come and so on. I also have some experience working with reactive dogs and will work at their pace. Bottom line, I will love your fur babies like they're my fur babies! I work full time, but I am usually home by 4 pm so evenings and weekends are when I am most available. I can be flexible though! My calendar is currently open through 2025. If you want to book in advance for 2026, please message me and I will let you know if I can accommodate your dates! In my home, it's the dogs house and I just live there lol! I understand that how I train my dogs and the rules in my house don't work for everyone. When I am sitting for you, I will follow your rules and guidance for how you want your home run. My number one concern is safety followed closely by respect. Additionally, if you're a new dog owner looking for some guidance I am more than happy to help out where I can!

Michael d.
“I’m delighted to recommend Michael as an exceptional pet caregiver. Over the time I’ve known him, I’ve witnessed firsthand how attentive, responsible, and genuinely loving he is with animals. He has pets of his own, and the way he lovingly cares for them—making sure they’re happy, healthy, and well-loved—speaks volumes about his character and dedication. Whether it's keeping up with feeding schedules, regular walks, playtime, or simply spending quiet moments keeping pets company, Michael always goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being and happiness. He treats every animal as if they were part of his own family. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your pet, Michael is the perfect choice. He will not only meet your pet's needs but truly care for them with heart and dedication.”
Megan M.
“Megan has been pet sitting us for over 7 years now and I've never met a more passionate, dedicated and conscientious young woman, especially when it comes to dogs. She loves them, and they absolutely adore her! I really think that our lab, who is normally glued to my husband's side, could care less about him once Megan shows up. I'm the dog mom you hear about. I never wanted kids, only dogs. They are my love and my life. So, I guess the best compliment I could give would be to tell you that my husband and I went on two different two-week vacations, and although I can't say I didn't think about my dogs during that time, I never once worried, knowing that Megan was with them and watching over them. More so than the destination or the things we did, Megan made that vacation as wonderful as it was because I knew I didn't have to worry about how things were at home.”

“Carolina has taken care of my pets before, and I always felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She’s calm, reliable, and clearly loves animals. She keeps you updated and is easy to communicate with. You can just tell she’s a good person who takes the responsibility seriously. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”
Jalisa B.
“Jalisa is one of the most loving and patient pet caregiver I have ever meant in my life. Not only does she go above and beyond she treats my little Louie as if he were her own. I have a 14 Year mini poodle with serve stomach issues and anytime I have to go away for work she is always there when needed. She never complains even though I know Louie can be a handful.
