“Sierra was so great with our two bullys! We have some high energy boys and they loved her! She was very communicative and sent us pics of them while we were gone. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again. ?”
“Thank you Chantal! We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received! Our dog Zeus and our cat Tigger were both in such good hands. From the regular walks and medication for Zeus to the clean litter box and fresh water for Tigger, everything was handled with care and attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing someone responsible, trustworthy, and clearly an animal lover was watching over our fur babies. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“Lisana was great my pups were happy, well taken care of and my apt was tidy when we got back! She communicated daily and sent update pictures which I loved. Would definitely book again!”
“I'm so glad I found Nev for a last minute trip. They were so thorough during our meet and greet, and my shy cat Yuki took to them immediately. I felt so secure, knowing they were with my babies all weekend! I can't wait to book them again.”
“Sophia kept us super informed while we had to travel for a wedding and our pup was dealing with a medical issue. She has been fantastic with them! Especially for our pup that needs tons of meds!”
“Great experience with Maria watching after our babies. She was willing to meet with our dogs prior to the dates of the booking. She sent updates and pictures while we were away. She was willing to stay longer if needed to ensure the dogs were taken care of. Great communication and our dogs seemed happy. We didn’t require the dogs to be walked but she went above and beyond to make sure they still got some exercise and play time.”
“"Never judge a book by its cover" has never been more true than with Jared. Let your pets be the judges! Jared is the sweetest, most loving person with my cats and I can only surmise that he is that way with all pets he cares for. I have come to know Jared over time; he helped me rescue a cat, went with me to the vet, and later, when I was away working out of town, he took the cat to the vet again for an appointment to get "fixed", picked him up afterwards, and cared for him while I got home the next day. Who else does that???”
“Jorge was the BEST! We were gone for 9 days for our wedding and he kept us in the loop everyday. He gave our pups all the love and they were so happy with him. He will be my go to whenever we need him! Don’t hesitate to book him. Thank you Jorge!!!!!”
“Rebeccahlynn is seriously amazing!! We’ve used her a few times and we love her!! She sent pictures throughout the day, was very communicative, gave our dog her ear ointment she needed, took her on walks, cuddled with our puppers, I mean our dog was in dog heaven!! I 100% recommend using her any time you can!”
“We’ve used stefanie several times now. We’re very happy with her. We can tell she loves our doggies as she takes such great care of them. She is a great communicator and also is very timely. She also sends us pictures during the stays too.”
“Jesus is the best. I have a high energy dog with severe little quirks. Jesus did an awesome job of bonding with her and keeping her entertained. Highly recommended.”
About: I have a genuine connection to animals and care deeply for them. In my own home I care for a senior dog and two bunnies. I always give my animals my first and my best. My schedule is flexible as I prepare for graduate school. My goal is to make some connections with families that need additional pet care that I can work my schedule around to accommodate theirs. In my client's home I will be sure to understand and fulfill all of the specific expectations they have for their pets. I will provide love, comfort and a safe environment for any and all pets. While you are away, at work or just need a little extra support I will make sure your sweet pet feels all the love they are missing.
“Bella and Boomer were so well cared for! They enjoyed walks and treats and plenty of love and attention. We’ll definitely have Odalys back to housesit and petsit at our next trip away!”
“Marina was awesome ! She watched Pepper over the weekend, she was super communicative leading up to the weekend as we as during :) I am very thankful for her. She did a great job watching my dog!”
About: A new chapter has me working from home full-time — and I’m so excited to open my home again! I’d love to care for your pup while you’re away, offering cuddles, calm vibes, and a cozy space shared with my two small resident dogs. 🐾 Meet the Crew: Iggy is my 13-year-old tripod and self-appointed commander-in-chief. He mostly keeps to his cozy corner, supervising the house and making sure playtime doesn’t get out of hand. Dolly is my 4-year-old shadow. She’s a little shy at first but warms up quickly. If your pup wants to play, she’s in — but she’s just as happy to nap nearby and match their energy. 💛 My Experience: I fostered dogs for over seven years — from tiny puppies to more sensitive or reactive rescues. That variety helped me get really good at reading dog dynamics, adjusting space, and creating a low-stress, respectful environment for everyone involved. 🏡 My Setup: Pups have free roam of the living room and kitchen (with lots of nap spots — doggy couch included!) I use baby gates and barriers to create calm zones or give dogs space when needed If I step out briefly, I can crate your pup if you prefer — or I can safely separate mine in the bedroom and give yours the run of the main space I rotate rest time so every pup gets solo downtime when needed — it’s always about keeping things calm and dog-centered We also have a medium-large backyard (fully fenced, about 20 yards long), no cats or kids, and lots of cozy options for sleep and chill time. Whether your pup is a cuddlebug, a watcher, or a play-in-the-yard type, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for. I currently work fully remote and am home all day — your dog will never be alone for long stretches. My own pups are a huge part of my life (they probably eat better than I do), and I deeply believe dogs rely on us for reassurance, love, and care. I do everything I can to live up to that, every single day. During my break from Rover, I continued fostering — over 100 puppies in the last few years. At the time, I was still going into the office, which wasn’t ideal, but it was still better than them staying at risk in the shelter. That chapter taught me so much about different temperaments, special needs, and how to create an environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — even when it’s not their usual home. Safety and trust are everything in my home. I don’t take guest pups on walks — my neighborhood occasionally has loose dogs, and I’d rather eliminate that risk altogether. Instead, all outdoor time happens in my fully fenced backyard, and I’m always outside supervising. My immediate neighbors don’t have dogs, so there’s no fence-line tension — just the occasional curious cat that might cause a short ruckus. Indoors, I keep the environment clean, calm, and free of hazards, with soft barriers and rest zones to help everyone feel safe and settled. I also regularly review the Red Cross Pet First Aid app to stay up to date on emergency protocols like choking or injury. Your pup’s comfort and safety are never left to chance — they’re at the center of everything I do.
“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”
“Isabel is amazing! She made sure that Rufus had everything he needed and provided me with updates throughout my entire booking! She’s very respectful, kind, and has a passion for caring for animals! She will be my go-to pet sitter whenever I have a trip!”
About: I’m an animal lover since I was a small kid. I’ve always had a cat or dog in the house. My senior dog recently passed from old age. I had 2 dogs. One recently passed away from old age I had her since I was 12. I would often walk them and feed them I have a mixed husky and she’s about 1 years old I often take her on walks and play with her. Before her we had as small Chihuahua

My fiancee and I can not say enough great things about Benjamin and how he took care of our furry goons and our house. Our cat and dog seemed to love him and he did a absolutely fantastic job of keeping us updated and the fur kids entertained. We were gone for 3 1/2 weeks in South Africa and came back to 2 happy animals and a very neat house. We told him to knock himself out and help himself to anything in the fridge, freezer or pantry and yet he still replaced some V-8 drinks and Corn Nuts he had consumed. We told him that was un-necessary but he did it anyway. I would absolutely recommend Benjamin to pet or house sit and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of the fur kids and their home. Benjamin, thank you for making us feel good about leaving our fur babies and our home in your hands!
Jewels loves my babies like her own. I have three dogs, and one of them had a medical emergency while I was gone. She called me and rushed them to the ER, and coordinated the overnight care and back and forth between my house and the ER. She does a phenomenal job, and she’s the only one I trust with my babies.
