“Leaving behind our 5-month-old puppy for an 11-day vacation filled me with nervousness. After speaking to several people, I found Sarah, who I knew was the perfect choice. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable - she gathered all the necessary information and maintained my puppy's routine flawlessly. Keeping us updated with photos and videos, Sarah's care provided me with peace of mind throughout my vacation. When our puppy returned home, he was just as happy and carefree as if he had never been away.”


“Nathan and Jenna were truly amazing. Their attention, love and concern for our baby was wonderful. From daily pics and updates to genuine caring for our little Frenchie and his quirky eating and snoring. The home and yard is set up as a "doggie disney". You can not get better.”


“Kaylee watched Bailey for the second time and our German Shepherd Nyah for the first. Nyah had never been watched by anyone besides my mom so this was a big deal. Kaylee did an amazing job. She kept me informed of both dogs and let me know how Nyah was adjusting. Even though Nyah was a slight handful, Kaylee was understanding and sweet during Myahs transition. Thank you again for watching our two fur babies and taking amazing care of them both.”


“Megan and her family were wonderful!! My pup Zoey seemed to have a great time and is wore out from all the fun! She got to play with Megan's two sons, their dog, neighbor kids, went on walks, and tagged along doing errands for the car ride! Thanks so so much for caring for our girl, Megan!”



“Another great stay for my babies with Mark and Vicky! And when I left one of my fluff ball wasn't feeling well... Mark and Vicky took great care of her, keeping me posted with all the progress, and by the time I was back, she was doing fantastic! Thank you so much for all the love and care! See you soon!”


“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”


“I was really happy with the care Enzo received from Alexandra. I got up many updates and pictures throughout his stay which made me feel at peace. She was also very helpful in setting a drop off and pick up time when I needed one last minute. Enzo came back happy and fulfilled after playing with her dogs.”


“Anita was great with my quirky little Yorkie. She was very understanding about his personality, and her home is really mellow which is great for a dog that's anxious when their owner is away. Her poodle, Fern, is very sweet, too.”


“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”


“Wow!! Me and my wife, and my dog are glad to have found this family! Very fun and attentive and caring for your animal! My dog loved his stay I’m sure. Definitely recommend”


“This was our second visit to Pats, our pup was really excited to see her and her gang. Pat kept us updated everyday and sent pictures which really put us at ease. Will definateley be using hers for our next trip. Thanks”


“Tyler kept good care of Scout when I had to go out of town. Scout doesn't care for stairs and Tyler was very patient with him. Tyler was the only sitter I reached out to that replied. I would not hesitate to have Tyler watch Scout again.”



“Mark and Elizabeth took great care of our 2 year old yellow lab. Daisy had a wonderful stay. They went above and beyond to make Daisy feel comfortable and help her get used to her temporary home.”


“Hailey and Justin are the best. They were responsive, flexible, and they treated our pup like a queen. My dog is always nervous when I leave her, but she wasn’t nervous with Justin & Hailey or their two dogs. When we picked our girl up, she was exhausted from play. I can’t say enough good things about Justin and Hailey. Such kind people. I will be using them again for sure and highly recommend them.”


“Susan and her husband cared for Barney like he was their own. They are both very responsible, caring and loving dog owners that Barney was more than comfortable with. Their dog, Jonah, was very well behaved and super friendly. Jonah and Barney were best buds within the first couple minutes of meeting each other. They went on a few walks and played a bunch in their fenced in backyard. Barney was tired out and a happy dog when we came to pick him up :) I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a trusting and caring dog sitter.”


About: Having a pet of my own with diabetes set me on a path to learn more and start a career toward helping animals that may need more care than others. I am a helper by trade and love spending time with pets so I hope I can apply my years of dedication and adoration for animals by helping take care of yours when you need assistance. I work as a general handyman and take classes toward veterinary technician and looking to help others with my spare time. Walking dogs is a passion of mine and, depending on the owner's request, can keep it local or take them to a desired park or hiking path. I walk daily on my own so a few extra paws would be good for me and the pooch! My cats are indoor/outdoor so they roam but stay close to the property. I do not leave them out alone. Inside we play a bit until they get bored, listen to music, and of course they nap...mostly they nap... When I have had dogs in the past, they get outside time to enjoy the sunshine and breeze and we're never left out in bad weather conditions. They've always had a safe and comfortable place inside the home.

“Ms. Kathleen was amazing with benji. She kept me updated and he had fun and she kept him safe. She also provided pictures and updates on him while I was away.”


“Hanna was great! She is very nice and we could tell she is a true dog lover. Payton seemed to like her right from our meet/greet. This was the first time we’ve used Rover for Payton and we will definitely try to use Hanna for our next booking.”


About: My name is Holly. I have 1 chihuahua. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. I have a 15 year old chihuahua who is very chill. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.

“We went over seas for 14 days. Aimee kept great contact with us and sent us videos and pictures. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our fur babies with her and her husband. I highly recommend her as a trust with and caring sitter. We will use her again for several trips we have coming up in 2025. Our gratitude is immense. Thank you! 😊”
