“Jamie was absolutely fantastic! Not only did my Baby Girl take to her right away - you can tell she is a huge dog lover. She is kind and respectful and sent me some pupdates as well. Both myself and my pup are looking forward to seeing her again and I would highly recommend her to family and friends alike. 5 stars all the way!”


“Vanessa is solid. We truly trust her to take great care of our 3 three cats and pup. We come home to happy animals and a clean home, and cannot ask for more. She is great with communication, proactive, and accommodating.”


“Lindsey was super! Puppies were happy and well cared for while we were gone and we got regular updates even over a busy Thanksgiving week. Lindsey is an excellent communicator, asking questions about things along the way both prior to and during the pet sitting sessions. She took nice care of the house, and was just wonderful to work with. THANK YOU LINDSEY!”


“This is the first time I have used Rover. Orin is delightful. She took such good care of my babies. I was never worried while away. She even vacumned and I didn't ask her to. I will have her sit with my babies again.”


“Abby was amazing with my puppy Sofie. Sofie loved her instantly upon meeting her. I was a bit worried due to my pup not handling me being away well, but I was pleasantly surprised when I received pictures and videos that Sofie is a very happy cuddly puppy, just being her natural self! I’d highly recommend Abby as a pet sitter !!”


“Sara was just wonderful. I think my dog had a better weekend with her than he ever would with us! She took him on field trips and also snuggled him on the couch. He is very lucky we found her!”


“McKenna and Kelly took such good care of my babies and gave them so much attention. They sent lots of pictures and updates. I was able to have piece of mind on my trip knowing they were so well cared for. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely keep them in mind for the future!”


“Morgan did a wonderful job staying in our home with our 2 Bichon's for a 3 day and 3 night stay. We have a high energy (not always easy!) puppy and a much older dog who has poor eyesight and also needs to be "protected" from the puppy. It's not an easy job. Morgan was so warm, loving, positive, and on top of everything! She clearly takes her role as a professional seriously and she confidently followed all of our notes and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. She is extremely responsive to all communications and answered all questions we had, gave us updates any time, and was honest about how our dogs were doing (like when they weren't eating well she told us). That gave us a lot of peace of mind. The dogs clearly adored her and we came home to our house in perfect shape and healthy happy pups. We will definitely be using Morgan again!”


About: I’ve been a vet tech for many years. I’ve worked emergency and general practice. I take pride in my care and in my work and strive for comfort. I primarily pet sitting full-time, and I am readily available at all times. I enjoy spending time with your pets and them having the company. I like to spend time with your pets so they feel at home. I treat them as my own. I make sure they get all the snuggles.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and natural connection with animals of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and I currently share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I've also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you're away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or just being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or just sitting with them for comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet's routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you're away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

About: We are the typical pet owners who treat their "children" as another loved family member. Our large, fenced yard and our cozy, animal friendly environment is perfect for your "child" while you are away. Our pet (and yours) gets exercised 2-3 times a day, swimming is always allowed if ok with you, and someone is almost always home to play, love and protect your pet. As an owner of Doodles and Mutts- exercise is demanded on a daily basis- so your pet will reap the benefits of our energetic pups. Your pet will receive tons of attention and affection and will be cared for and loved as if they were our own. About this sitter: I am a self-employed woman with a penchant for dogs. I treat them as my children and ensure they are well exercised, loved and have plenty of fun. Why I love dog sitting I have had many dogs in my life and have often helped individuals train their pet. I have extensive (20 years) basic training experience and love to spend time making sure a pet is happy and healthy. About my yard I live on a full acre and my dog/house guests have access to almost every inch of it. There is plenty of room to safely roam the fenced 1/2 acre and also plenty of room to play ball, frisbee or just run about! Our world revolves around our pets and we will make sure your pet has everything they need to be a happy pet. If there are any special instructions, we will assure that things are done correctly and patiently. We will play and entertain them all day, maybe a swim, maybe a walk, maybe a trip to the park. Down time may include cuddles, Doggie YouTube to keep their brains stimulated. Hourly potty breaks.

“Sarah was warm and engaging with JoJo. He was clearly glad to see her on her second visit. He was content and happy when we returned. We feel very comfortable leaving JoJo in Sarah's care.”


“Michael was wonderful with my dog. He was attentive and sent plenty of pictures and provided updates. I appreciate his flexibility with his schedule since this was a last minute booking. Would definitely recommend and plan to book with Michael in the future.”


“Lisa was AMAZING with my dog. She stayed the weekend at my house and took such great care of him. She was so communicative with me and attentive to my dog’s needs as he can be anxious. I felt so bad that she even had to deal with a few potty accidents in the house, but handled them so kindly. My dog (who can be a little wary/standoffish) took to her immediately and loved her. I will definitely be asking Lisa to watch him again!”


“If I could give a 100 ⭐️ rating for Cole I definitely would. I had a family reunion in another state to attend and my Molly is not only my emotional support animal but she’s also getting older and dealing with senior dog issues with hearing and seeing and getting weak in her back legs and I was panicking about leaving her in a kennel when my concierge sent me some people who could stay at my home and take care of her I carefully reviewed the list and immediately Cole stood out and I had a feeling in my heart he’s the one! We met before leaving town so he could meet Molly and she would get to know him a little and not be afraid. He kept in constant contact while we were gone and sent pictures of her cuddling with him. My heart just melted 🥰 We got home from our trip and Molly wasn’t expecting us and barked and backed up like we were strangers lol because she wanted Cole back. My husband and I are so very grateful and thankful for Cole and would highly recommend him for anyone who may need a dog/home sitter he’s a genuine person who truly loves and cares about our furry kids 🐶💖 I don’t know how to thank him enough for his kindness and love for our girl while we were gone.🙏🏻”


About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 7 years and recently raised a puppy from 8 weeks old, so I understand all the different stages of care, from training to senior needs. I also worked as a vet tech for a year, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and medical needs. Whether it’s giving meds, handling energetic pups, or comforting nervous dogs, I’ve done it all with patience and love. I have a very open and flexible schedule, so I’m home often and able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or long walks, I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and explore safely. Inside, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at home. With years of experience I know how to calmly and responsibly handle situations—you can trust your pet is in good hands.

What a wonderful experience all around! Jillian is an extremely conscientious, caring, and responsible pet-sitter. She goes the extra mile to make sure she understands your pet's needs (including taking notes) and is very attuned to dog behavior. Our dog is fairly shy, but she took to Jillian right away and clearly felt very comfortable with her. Jillian was kind enough to send along photos of our dog while we were away and kept us abreast of her activities. Additionally, she was very respectful of our home, ensuing it was just as clean (perhaps even cleaner :-) than when we left. Jillian is an overall delight and we unhesitatingly recommend her to others. Thank you Jillian!

I CANNOT say enough WONDERFUL things about Abbey and the level of care she provided for our pups. One of my dogs is very special needs (mobility issues, frequent accidents, anxiety, etc). Abbey handled it all beautifully and provided SUCH AMAZING care to Molly. She gave us frequent updates about her and sent us many pictures! I just cannot thank her enough for the excellent care she provided for our dogs. Not only that, but she was incredibly respectful of our home and left it clean and tidy for us (even washed the bed linens!). Abbey is truly SUCH a GEM and your animals will be safe and loved while you are away with her. 🩷
