“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”
2. Melissa F.

12. Carmen P.
“Carmen has dog sat for us for several years. She really is the best and has always been our top choice when available. We had two older dogs, one of which was dealing with an illness. Carmen always gone above and beyond while taking care of them. She would take them on walks, would send us videos and pictures playing with them in the yard and should would give them plenty of cuddles and loving attention. She truly treated our pups as if they were her own. Carmen is very responsive and dependable. Our pups always seemed happy to see her coming through the door and it gave them (and my wife) much less anxiety when were were away. I would trust Carmen to be able to handle any size of dog or other animal without any issue. I recommend Carmen as a sitter to anyone who loves their pets.”

“Erika was amazing!! Archer is just shy of a year old and we are pretty new to Rover, so we weren’t sure what to expect. But we were quickly reassured with how attentive Erika was pre and during her time with Archer. Can’t recommend Erika enough and we will for sure be reaching out to her again in the near future!!”

17. Emily B.
“Emily was super trustworthy and took care of my Pinga and Guinness and the house. She sent pictures every day and even thought only Pinga showed up to say "hi", I would totally trust her to take care of them again - maybe within time they become less shy :)”
18. Grace P.
“Grace has watched my sweet dog Hugo so many times and has been absolutely incredible! She is so patient and kind with him - I would trust her with him in a heartbeat.”
19. Gabrielle F.
About: I am a HUGE animal lover. Growing up I had 6 dogs, 4 cats, 3 birds, 3 guinea pigs, and a handful of different reptiles—hectic I know. However, dogs will always have a special place in my heart <3. I have been dog sitting since I was 16 and have fostered a handful of dogs. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and breeds with special needs like english bulldogs. I currently have a 4.5 year old boxer/jack russell mix named Gigi. She is extremely friendly and gets along great with other dogs, cats, kids, etc. If your pet enjoys the company of other dogs, my household will be a great fit! I am home every weekday after 5pm and most of the day on weekends. My job gives flexibility to WFH or go home in the middle of the day for a puppy potty break as needed. In addition, my boyfriend is WFH at the apartment on Mondays and Fridays and is more than happy to keep the pup company. In my home, dogs are treated like a full blown member of the family. They can have full access to my apartment including beds and other furniture. I also have a large crate available if that is what your dog works best for your dog. My apartment is just a few blocks away from the beach, dog park, fenced in fields, and Medal of Honor Park. I currently bring my dog to the dog park twice a day, but can provide more frequent bathroom trips for your pet if needed. I have no problem with matching food schedules/restrictions and administering oral medication. I am here to make your dog feel as comfortable as possible-so please reach out if you have any specific requests.
