“Vanessa was absolutely incredible! From consistent updates with pictures and videos to giving our Bella girl lots of love and care. It was our first time using a dog sitter for an extended trip and Vanessa made us feel comfortable and our dog safe and happy. We could not be happier and more appreciative of Vanessa. We would highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting her assistance again!”


“Once again, you came to my rescue, allowing me to go out of town to see my grandkids. I’m so grateful for your service—it brings me such peace of mind knowing my puppy is in your loving and capable hands.”


“My Ollie takes a while to warm to new people but Cory did it fast with his calm, kind and confident persona. Cory has walked Ollie a few times and stayed over in my house with him, and everything went great. I appreciate that!!”



“Camille is incredible! If you want someone that will love and care for your dogs and home like you do, then look no further. She went above and beyond for our family. She took amazing care of our anxious mastiff and even watered my garden when we hit an excruciatingly hot and dry week. Her communication style is immediate and she quickly made me feel at ease about leaving our boy behind while we traveled for the week. As if that wasn’t enough, she came back to take care of Seamus when our flight was delayed. He was so happy with her stay that he didn’t even seem to care that we were gone. We will definitely be having Camille back when we travel again, because our dog wouldn’t have it any other way. We can’t believe how lucky we were to find such a loving and attentive sitter. She’s the absolute best!”


“Dawn is absolutely amazing! She watched our two kitties for the weekend and was super attentive, sent daily updates, and we came home to a perfect house and two happy cats! I have a hard time trusting people with our animals, but we will definitely be using her again in the future. She is very sweet and caring - we cannot recommend her enough!”


“Catherine is amazing. Took great care of our home and 3 Alaskan Malamutes for a weekend. Very flexible with our plans and attentive to all of our dogs’ needs, including medical/health needs. Will definitely continue to work with her!”


“Robin is fabulous. She sent pictures daily and took very good care of my special needs dog. It felt to not worry about my baby while I was on vacation.”


“Thank you Christina for helping me out in a pinch! Amazing communication, updates including photos and reliability. Will definitely book in future”


“You will never find a more thorough or thoughtful sitter. I have had dogs and foster dogs all my life and have seen my fair share of sitters. Greg is top notch and genuinely loves animals and it shows in his work. The value you get with his services is top notch.”


“Olivia took great care of our dog in our home! She was very communicative and sent updates.”


“Genesis did a great job with our dog Keenu who is a senior that can sometimes be cranky. She listened to all of our requirements for him and was able to keep him comfortable during a house sit. Would recommend her especially for people with pets that have extra needs. Thank you!”


“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my pups! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent me pics as well. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Marta is a great pet sitter. She came over two times before I actually needed her to get acquainted with my pets. She did everything that was expected and even sent us pictures while we were away. I would definitely use Marta again.”



“Jaclyn is the best! One of my dogs got sick on the couch and she let me know and cleaned it up. She always takes the best care of my older pups!”


About: Animal lover since age 5 - I’ve raised and trained a variety of different pets including dogs, cats, horses, birds, bunnies, etc. Pet owner to a 12 year old golden retriever and 4 year old rescue British Blue (cat). Familiar with administering medications and navigating any physical therapy needs. Available for simple drop ins just to give clean water, food, and change the litter. I’m available round the clock, twenty-four seven. My routine revolves around fur babies so if they are up, I’m up! Very flexible and can be as early or late as needed Sunday-Saturday. It’s all about treating your fur babies like they are my own. Available 24/7 for check-ins, walks, food and water refills, pet sitting, and boarding. If you’re unsure what service to book, include your needs in a message and I can give you a better estimate.

“From the second the dogs met Julia they were HOOKED and I just knew I was leaving them in the most loving caring and capable hands. She sent daily updates and I was FLOORED to come home and see all my plants were still alive too! (Only because they’re really finicky and I have a hard enough time keeping them alive and thriving!) and coming home after a long week to see that my house is as comfy and cozy as I need it to be after traveling all day was such a relief. If she’s available BOOK HER you’ll feel so lucky you did!!”


“This is our 2nd time booking Sean since moving to the area to watch our pups, Jax and Millie. We will continue to book in the future. I highly recommend Sean to anyone looking. Very respectful, responsive, and we can tell our pups are truly cared for while we are gone.”


“Dasiel was AMAZING! We booked him for dog sitting at our house for a two week trip. From the moment he came by for a meet and greet we could see he was great with dogs and was knowledgeable about their care. The girls loved him instantly. He asked us great questions about their routine and took notes to ensure everything went smoothly. While we were away, we got daily pictures and videos showing us what a great time they were having together and Dasiel was super responsive to any questions we had. Our dogs are a little anxious and protective of each other so walking them together is sometimes hard even though they love being together. However, Dasiel was able to find ways to calm them and successfully walk them together without issues - we will now put into practice the tips he learned and shared! Since this was a home stay, let me also mention how respectful he was with our home, even doing some cleaning so we would find the house exactly as we left it. I cannot say enough good things about Dasiel. Spectacular dog sitter. The girls miss him already!”


“Abby is great.”


“Christina was the best pet sitter that we ever had! It was obvious from our first meeting that she is a caring and conscientious person. She went above and beyond in handling all of the special needs of our elderly pets. She also sent us photos and short videos of our pets everyday! I highly recommend Christina as a pet sitter! She is the best! -Karin & Lana”

Thank you, Carol! We came back from a long trip to a happy dog, cat, and house. We appreciated the good communication and professionalism, and would definitely hire her again.

Genesis did a great job with our dog Keenu who is a senior that can sometimes be cranky. She listened to all of our requirements for him and was able to keep him comfortable during a house sit. Would recommend her especially for people with pets that have extra needs. Thank you!

My Ollie takes a while to warm to new people but Cory did it fast with his calm, kind and confident persona. Cory has walked Ollie a few times and stayed over in my house with him, and everything went great. I appreciate that!!

This was my first time using the app and was nervous leaving my babies and having someone stay at my home without knowing them. I searched through many profiles and immediately felt at ease with Jaclyn, she was responsive and proactive. We had a meet and greet and Maia instantly came to her and settled on Jaclyn’s lap while we talked logistics. I was sold when Jaclyn naturally just started petting her and said to both my pups, we’re going to have a good time together. I felt at ease leaving them with Jaclyn, she has a natural calming energy. During her time with my pups she was communicative and followed instructions perfectly. Both my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised to find the home exactly as we left it. I highly recommend Jacklyn and will most definitely work with her in the future.

Nothing brings me more nerves than days away from my pup, my separation anxiety is far worse. Caroline did an amazing job with Thelo! Regular updates on his walks, photos, and giving him the affection he always needs. Would highly recommend her for a house-sitting stay to take care of your beloved pet

Laura has watched my senior dog in my home twice now and it was another perfect visit. Never once did I worry while away on vacation.

I highly recommend Vadim to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter. Within about 10–15 minutes my dogs quickly got acquainted with Vadim and by the time I left I immediately received a video with one of my dogs already snuggling up and asking for belly rubs. I felt very reassured that my dogs were in good hands and appreciated the update videos and pictures while I was away. Thank you Vadim!

Franck was communicative and great with our cat! We loved the photos he sent and were so grateful to have found him. Will definitely use him in the future.

From the second the dogs met Julia they were HOOKED and I just knew I was leaving them in the most loving caring and capable hands. She sent daily updates and I was FLOORED to come home and see all my plants were still alive too! (Only because they’re really finicky and I have a hard enough time keeping them alive and thriving!) and coming home after a long week to see that my house is as comfy and cozy as I need it to be after traveling all day was such a relief. If she’s available BOOK HER you’ll feel so lucky you did!!

I’m a first timer to Rover and was so happy with Lindsay - she took such care of my little ones, I’m super grateful!!

Jovanna was great. Extremely communicative with me and Duke’s care. She really went the extra mile for him. Will be booking with her again! ☺️

Kimmeth goes above and beyond. She takes great care of our pets and is someone we trust and rely on. She makes our trips away from home stress free because we know we have someone great to take care of our dog and cat. Thank you Kimmeth!

Both Casper & Onyx seemed very happy with Darius. This was the first time we've left the dogs with someone we didn't know. We meet a few times with Darius before we left. I felt very comfortable leaving them with Darius. We will use h8me again when we go on vacation at the end of July.

So grateful for Marianne 🥰 I’m so thankful to have her — she’s been such a huge help with my puppy and has truly given me peace of mind.

Marta took such great care of my little Yorkie and kept me updated throughout her stay. She was wonderful!! She sent me very cute pictures of my boy every day ❤️ I would definitely recommend her!

Lexy was great! She replied right away to my first inquiry, and set up a meet and greet for the next day. While I was away, she kept in touch and was super responsive. When I got home, the house was clean and neat, and Ernie seemed fine for the experience. Easily a 5-star sit. Ernie says he hopes to see her again!

Randy is wonderful! He did a fantastic job watching my senior dog and house sitting while I was away. He was respectful of all instructions and my property. I highly recommend Randy to anyone needing support for their pet. I will be using Randy again!

Our dog Cooper seemed to wonder where Neil was when we got home. Neil did a great job, kept us informed. We look forward to having Neil stay with Cooper again
