Melissa took great care of our German Shepherd while we were away for the week and our house was immaculate upon our return home. I was wary of booking house sitting through Rover (I’ve only ever used for drop-ins and walks) but Mel was fantastic and I know my older GSD was happy to be at home instead of a boarding facility. Melissa was professional and kind and went above and beyond. She came to the meet & greet prepared with a sheet to fill out to ensure all my dog’s care needs were met and remembered. I was updated with photos every night. I would absolutely book with Melissa again and I know just based off the photos my pup enjoyed having her around! 😊

mantha was amazing with my babies! 🐾 She sent us daily updates and multiple pictures, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. We booked her last minute, and she was so kind and willing to help take care of our dogs. My dogs looked so happy and comfortable with her, and you can tell she truly cares for animals. She did an amazing job, and I would definitely book with her again! ❤️

We were looking for a pet sitter on relatively short notice. I was impressed with Tessah's work experience with animals and her passion for them. She was able to come and stay with our pets (2 dogs, 3 cats plus a foster mama cat and her babies) and we will definitely contact Tessah when we need a pet sitter in the future. I appreciated the prompt and clear communication as well as the pet pictures. Even our shyest cat came out to say hi!!

Brittany was wonderful. This was the first time I have left my dog, Cookie, at home with a sitter. Brittany took great care of her. She also took good care of the house. I got pictures and updates every day which gave me a comfort level that all was well. Definitely recommend her.

Melanie did a great job watching our dog and taking care of our home over a long weekend! We were a bit nervous since our dog is very old and picky, but she took to Melanie quickly and Melanie made the whole process super easy. We received tons of cute photos throughout and we returned home to a happy pup and well taken care of home. We would absolutely recommend Melanie to others for all dog-sitting/house-sitting needs.

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. For over 10 years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds including my own, friends, and family members, and I truly treat every animal like they’re part of my family. I’m a mom with my daughter now in school and I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your fur babies the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m happy to meet your pet’s individual needs. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and always prioritize safety and communication. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away! I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I am currently working a part time job as a front desk assistant in the afternoons, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for the needs of your fur babies! I will come to the clients home at your convenience, so they are in a comfortable environment. I always follow routines closely and include pictures so your mind is at ease. Safety is my top priority, I double check doors are locked, gates, leashes and keep a clean and calm environment for your pet.

Katie was so wonderful. We trusted her completely to take care of our pups and stay at our home and it was a trust well placed. She’s a great communicator and is responsive to both the home/dog owner needs and the needs of the pups. We are so thankful that she was there to care for Nikko & Sugar when we were away.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.

Shelby did an AMAZING job with our pups! She stayed at our house and took care of them while we were out of town for 4 days. We have an older dog and I did not worry once while they were in Shelby’s care! She sent photos and texts to assure us that all was well. We really enjoyed meeting Shelby and would trust her to stay at our home with our dogs again. 10/10 recommend Shelby!

I also make sure pets stay on their normal routine so they feel safe and stress-free while their owners are away.

Emily was lovely! We were desperate for someone to watch our young pup for a few hours. Emily arrived early, we went over care, she listened carefully. Our dog loved Emily, clearly, as she wound up spending part of the visit in Emily’s lap. We had clear communication & photo updates during her brief stay, too. Emily was very conscientious and respectful. I would definitely have her back to care for our pup anytime!

Karen was super responsive and attentive while house sitting for our older Rhodesian Ridgeback! He’s very picky about who he allows around him - we introduced him to a few sitters before he was immediately comfortable with Karen. She’s a pet whisperer. During our long weekend, we got plenty of photos and texts, and felt very comfortable that our animals and house were well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again!l
