“Devinder is super quick to respond to requests, and my dog loves her time with him. He always provides a detailed update about their time together. I highly recommend him for any pet care needs!”


2. Kade M.


“Kade was absolutely amazing! Very responsive and so many adorable pictures of my fur babies—just what I needed to brighten my day at work! 10/10 recommend! Will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Kade!”


3. Rachel D.

“Rachel was fantastic in taking care of my fur baby Nappa. He can be overly excited and pull when he walks but Rachel loved him like her own. Thank you so much for loving my boy and keeping my mind at ease while my family and I were away.”


4. Katryn S.
About: I was raised around all kinds of pets, from cats and dogs to snakes and spiders. I take a lot of pride in taking great care of animals and providing them with a safe and loving environment. I’m currently a student on break, so I have a lot of time on my hands for the time being. I can work with your schedule! I am very careful with any animal within my responsibility. I’m well-practiced in keeping sneaky pets from escaping out the door, keeping leashed dogs away from other dogs, and medicating animals. I will strictly follow any instructions I am given to make sure your pet is safe, healthy, and comfortable!


5. Kiera B.

7. Cynthia B.

“Cynthia was amazing with my dog and was great with keeping us updated on how he was doing. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our boy!!!!”




8. Lindsey S.

“I would highly recommend Lindsey! She is great with dogs, very attentive and detailed in her reports. She was also super flexible with us-we had a couple schedule changes and weather issues, but she made it work. Also, I locked myself out of my house one morning and she came by and let me in! Saved me a whole bunch of money on a locksmith. Great dog caretaker and just a kind soul. Don't hesitate-book her now!”


9. Nevaeh S.

“This was our first time booking with Nevaeh. It was easy to set up walks and they went smoothly. Thank you.”


10. Lila D.


“Lila was a joy, and the relief I needed in my busy work week! I have never used Rover before, but booked her for a week of walks when I was in a scheduling pinch. She was very reliable, arriving right on time each day, and provided me a fun summary of my dogs’ demeanors...and was always very pleasant (even though I’m sure my puppy was a handful at times!). Thanks so much Lila, I would highly recommend you.”


11. Kayley D.

“Kayley is wonderful! I am so happy to have her walk my dog Bilbo during the day, especially during the winter months. He liked her instantly and was very happy to walk with her. I highly recommend her!”


12. Candace S.

“I’m so glad I found Candace, she’s the most communicative and responsive sitter! Appreciate her availability last minute this week for two walks while I was out of town.”


13. Amanda M.


“Amanda was very responsive, responsible, and on it!! She sent me pictures during her walk with my dog so it made me feel at ease while I was out of town.”


14. Leanne K.
“Leanne is a very sweet and caring person. She is conciderate and responsible and won't give you any reason to worry about leaving your pet at home. Having grown up on a farm, she is comfortable and good with any animals.”


15. Annika H.

“Annika is the best!! She has watched my corgi Elsie while I was out of town a few times now and always does a great job. She's clearly very knowledgeable about how to take care of pets and is a pleasure to do business with. She's also very communicative and will send updates, which is super appreciated because I'm not used to being away from my dog. I would recommend her as a petsitter to anyone!”


16. Erin S.

“Erin was very responsive, friendly and attentive to my dogs needs. She was able to come during the middle of the day to give my girl a nice walk around the neighborhood and even played with her inside a bit before heading out. My dog loved my time with her!”


17. Kendall S.
“I trust Kendall with my pets every time! She’s pet-sat for me before and I never worry about their needs (and wants) being met. She is kind, loving, compassionate, and truly has a passion for all kinds of critters. She has a good understanding of dog and cat behavior and years of experience with medically-needy cats. She is responsible, responsive, and sends the cutest photos! I highly recommend Kendall as your next pet caregiver.”


18. jules b.
“I have trusted Jules with my cats many times and highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. She is meticulously attentive, responsible, and has earned the trust of ALL of my furry friends! ❤️”


19. Rangeen A.
“Rangeen has my dog sat for me when she was my neighbor. My dog, Roscoe, loved her! She would give recommendations on how to train Roscoe out of his habits. She gave great advice! She noticed a skin irritation on Roscoe and recommended a grain free diet that made the skin irritation go away.”


20. Le'Quitta R.
“Lequitta was absolutely amazing while sitting for my two Bernedoodles and pet fish! She took exceptional care of my dogs, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and love, making sure they were happy and well-cared for throughout her stay. She also went above and beyond by taking care of my fish and even watering my plants as a thoughtful courtesy. Her attention to detail and kindness truly made a difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Lequitta for anyone in need of reliable, caring pet sitting.”
