About: I’m the friend who always gets the "can you watch my dog?" call because I’ve been around pups of all shapes and sizes since I was five. That lifetime of experience means I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a rambunctious puppy as I am providing a calm, gentle environment for a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience. Pet care fits perfectly into my active lifestyle. My days already revolve around long walks and staying moving, so your pup becomes my dedicated plus-one for every adventure. My schedule is flexible, and when I’m with your pet, they are my main priority—I treat their routine with the same care and focus I give my own. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect I’d want for my own. Whether we're hanging out at my place or yours, I focus on creating a secure, "paws-on" environment where routines are followed strictly so your pet feels safe. I’m all about clear updates and total transparency, so you can relax knowing they’re in good, experienced hands.

Morgan was amazing with Clyde this weekend! She was communicative, reliable, and clearly took great care of him. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands, and Clyde came back happy and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

So lucky to have found Kathy through Rover, she was an exceptional sitter for our two dogs. Our boys are leash reactive so we are always a little anxious to leave them under just anyone’s care, but with Kathy we’ve never felt more at ease. Great communicator and responsive, would definitely book her again if we can!

About: As a previous pet owner, I miss having a fur baby to tend to. I have decades of experience with dogs of varying breeds. My children are now college graduates and have no time commitments or obligations so house sitting suits my lifestyle perfectly. I only accept one family at a time so your pet/s will receive my undivided attention 24/7. As a full time homemaker, I have plenty of time to spend with the dogs. They are never left alone. I devote all of my time to them and I only board a couple of small dogs at a time so they receive very personalized care. I take the dog/s out for a walk or potty break every couple of hours, we may go to a nearby dog park that’s fenced in or go by the beach. I don’t mind cooking for the dog/s, beef or chicken and rice with vegetables is provided at times. Regarding safety- that’s always my top priority. When walking them; I always have them in a harness to keep them secure.

About: I had dogs in my family for 10+ years and have helped friends and family take care of their dogs as well. I’ll give them all the attention and walk with them as long as it’s needed. I am also experienced with providing special care for medications or food on a timely schedule. I enjoy spending time with pets and this will be a part time job for me on my weekends from work. I hope to create happiness for your pets as much as it creates happiness for me. I take pride in provide and maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming environment wherever I am. I trust that my clients will provide as many details or instructions to take care of their pets so that they can always trust me.

Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.

Emily is a pet-sitting all star!! She was very communicative, punctual, flexible. We got awesome photos and videos of her with each of our pets on a regular basis, and it was clear they weren’t photo shoots but genuine captures of the quality time she was spending with them. We felt very comfortable, and comforted, by how well she took care of our cat and medicine administration - after all she is a vet in training! We have a skittish dog who can take awhile to warm up to new faces, especially when we’re not present, so it was pretty incredible to see her on the couch and affectionate with Emily!! Emily has a way with animals and is a friendly, lovely person to interact with as well. She’s going to be an amazing vet!! We felt lucky to have her at our home. Oh, and she even washed the sheets and towels before we got home! Six stars. :)

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how much She genuinely care about animals. She took the time to learn our dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and messages, which made it easy to relax knowing our dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was obvious our dog was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love. When we returned, everything was just as we left it, and our dog was calm, content, and clearly well taken care of.

Wow--we feel really fortunate to have found Brynn, and hope she'll be our regular doggie sitter. We came home from a quick one-night trip, and found our dogs so relaxed and happy. And the house was exceptionally clean and cared for. I know, it's only one night! But you'd be surprised. Brynn is also a very sweet lady, and a great communicator too.

Hannah is amazing! She’s super communicative and sent multiple daily updates. She showed so much attention and care to our chihuahua puppy-even taking him to a family event of hers so our puppy wasn’t ever alone. When our flight home was delayed, she took extra effort to make sure we were on the flight home before she left. I’d hire her again in a heart beat.
