I have 2 male dogs. Sebastian is 10, set in his ways, stubborn Cocker Spaniel, in a lot of ways, my little old man. The other one is Carbon who is 15 months old and still like a puppy and full of energy. Kimberly was an absolute doll. She is personable and my Sebastian seemed to really like her, he doesnt take to too many people. My boys were extremely happy when I came home. Kimberly sent me updates via text messages and photos. I would HIGHLY recommend her!!!

Laura watched our dog at our home while we were away for a few days. She did an excellent job with our dog and treated our home with respect. We will definitely reach out in the future when we can't bring our pup on trips! Highly recommend Laura

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!

We had a fantastic experience with Micaela! We decided on a spontaneous 3-day vacation and needed someone reliable to care for our two dogs — and she absolutely delivered. Micaela covered three long 11-hour shifts and took such great care of our pups. Our dogs were happy, calm, and clearly felt safe and comfortable the entire time. She was also respectful and kind with my dad, who was home during the visits, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We came home to relaxed dogs and peace of mind — couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend Micaela to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter!

About: I grew up taking care of neighborhood strays in India. My favorite story to tell is how I had multiple pet squirrels in India! Ask me to show you photos :) I have a lot of love for both dogs and cats, and because I can't bring a pet into my family right now, this is how I'm choosing to share it! I'm currently only working gigs as I figure out my next step forward, so I'm very frequently available and open to last minute requests! It's all an adventure and I get to do what I love. I have good experience with large dogs to ensure they don't run off or get into fights. I pet sit for friends often because I'm currently between jobs, so I have a lot of experience with a large variety of dogs (and one tabby!)

There really aren’t enough words to describe how Megan cared for Remy while we were on vacation. I have never used Rover before, and went purely based off reviews. I had never used a dog sitter in my home before, but I am SO glad I trusted Megan. She loved and cared for our dog as if she were her own. She went SO above and beyond what we ever expected from anyone, I actually feel guilty for how amazing she is. We are not people to easily leave our dog to anyone, but family and I will never hesitate to leave Remy with Megan! She may love her more than us at this point! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the love, pics, communication, and extra things you did for us, we are SO grateful.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was 6, so I know how to take care of different pets no matter what kinda of pet is. I just love animals! , so I don’t mind taking care of them. :> I am currently working part-time in a university dining hall in the afternoons , where I work every other weekend. I have classes in the mornings; however, I am fully available during school breaks, and my sister and parents help me taking care of the pet when I’m not at home.(My schedule might change when classes start) I have a younger sister of 11 years friendly and loves pets. I don’t have my own yard but outside my house there’s a nice space for pets where they can run, walk safe. It’s like a nice big green yard basically.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for pets of all sizes since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me with their beloved animals. As an educator, I bring the same patience, responsibility, and genuine care to your furry family members that I do to my students daily. I understand routines matter, communication is key, and every pet has their own personality. Whether it’s a high energy pup who needs adventure or a senior dog requiring gentle care, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I have flexibility during summers, school breaks, and weekends. Your pet will always be in dependable hands “I work full-time during the school year but have excellent availability on weekends, evenings after 4pm, and extended time during summer breaks and school holidays. I’m most available for boarding, house sitting, and drop-in visits that work around my professional schedule. I have a safe, clean home with a fenced yard perfect for playtime. Your pet will be treated like family with routines, plenty of attention, and updates with photos. I follow all care instructions carefully and can administer medications if needed. Whether at my home or yours, I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness above all else.

2nd time using Tiaesha and I will use her without hesitation again and again. One of my dogs always is hesitant at first but Tiaesha knows exactly how to get her to warm up to her and they are best friends from there after.

Julia was an incredible sitter for Polo over Christmas week. From the moment we booked, she was communicative and thoughtful, excited to spend time with him. Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates and photos. Polo can be a sensitive little guy, but he warmed up to her and Julia kept his routine consistent, gave him tons of attention, and made sure he got plenty of playtime and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands during the holidays. I would recommend Julia without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again!
