“Kaitlyn watched my dog for a weekend. She was very attentive and quick to communicate. I have a dog with high energy and she was very understanding and quick to problem solve. I felt comfortable and trusting that she was taking care of my dog. She is very good about texting and updating with pictures. I would 100% rebook with her!!”


“Konnie did an absolutely amazing job watching our dog and two cats while we were out of town!!! I got updates and photos while she was watching them and even put up with all my little requests. I think my house may have been more put together after she left than it was when she got there. We will 100% be using her again when we have to leave town. I cannot recommend her highly enough. THANK YOU KONNIE ?”


“Olivia did an amazing job watching our 17 week old Labrador, Maya. She did training with her; some of the things we had already started working on with Maya, as well as some new commands. Olivia sent us pictures or videos everyday. I felt very comfortable having Olivia in my house and I knew that Maya was being well cared for while we were gone.”



“Mark was so great w my pets!!! He followed the schedule to a T and made sure to pass along plenty of updates. I always get nervous about letting people into my home, but Mark proved to be nothing but professional and responsible! I’ll definitely be seeking him out again soon!”



“It’s always daunting having to find someone take care of your fur babies. I was so happy to have had Lilly be so helpful in keeping our girls safe, loved and well taken care of while we were away. Will definitely be using her to help us out again. Thanks Lilly! ??”


About: I have been taking care of my own babies for 10+ years! I’ve also stayed for a week at a time taking care of family/friends fur babies I’m currently working part time and from home so I’m always available! From short walks to long stays! Even just popping in for a potty break My fur babies get the royal treatment! I will provide the same for yours! From belly rubs to playing catch. And all the cuddles needed!

About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.

“10/10 recommend!! Marisa stayed with our dog while we were on vacation and she stayed in contact every day! We came home to our house exactly as we left it. I will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Scott and Samantha are our go to sitters for our Italian Greyhound, Quincy! We have used them multiple times, and always come home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Quincy has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Scott and Samantha give him extra attention, care, and snuggles. We highly recommend them to help with any of your pets’ needs!”


“Seth did a wonderful job taking care of our pets at our house while we were gone for one week. He communicated daily and sent pictures. He responded quickly to any questions and left the house in great shape! I highly recommend him!”


“Kayla was great with my older dog. She made Sadie feel comfortable immediately and gained her trust to administer her needed eye medications. I would definitely book her again in the future!”


“Michelle watched our babies during our wedding weekend! She was amazing and we were able to relax and really enjoy our wedding without worrying about our babies. We also have a dog with reactive issues and she was great with her. We highly recommend Michelle and our dogs love her!”


“Holly was great with our Beagle. She communicated and sent pictures. She asked questions which I appreciated. She stayed at our home and took great care of everything. Harley seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. I would highly recommend Holly.”

“Tyler stayed at our house with our two dogs. He was easy to communicate with about scheduling and always responded quickly about how things were going while we were away.”


“Lillian was fantastic! She came over twice before booking, at my request, to get familiar with my 2 dogs. We had an unexpected illness in my dog and she was able to give him his medication while we were on vacation. We came home last night to 2 happy dogs, house in order, and pee pads washed!”

Brittani H.
“Brittani has been our go to dog sitter and walker on the side for some time now. We never have to worry when going out of town that our babies won’t be taken care of because they are with her. She has 2 of her own and when I saw how she was with her own dogs I knew Brittani was the perfect fit for us! If we are gone for longer than we would like for work or on the weekends she is available to swing bye and let them out or walk them. I HIGHLY recommend Brittani and will now be booking her through Rover!”


Samantha W.

She is aware of their needs and always strives to ensure they have the best life possible. Not only is she thoughtful and kind, but she has a heart of gold and your dogs would be lucky to have her care for them!”
