“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 13 years old and I’ve had family pets all of my life. I am interested in getting a pet myself and want to build a great routine for taking care of other furry friends in the meantime! I currently work full-time, but I have plenty of accessibility to go home for lunch and take the pet that I am caring for on a walk and feed them if needed. On the weekends, I am always free to care for any pets that I am sitting. I can easily crate your pet, if needed or requested. If your pet prefers to roam, I can accommodate that too. I have plenty of space around my home to walk your pet as much as needed.
“Katie was wonderful for my pup! We did a meet and greet before, which was great. I received daily updates and pictures while I was away. She was very responsive and Barney was comfortable with her. I will definitely be using her again for watching Barney.”


“Hannah is the best cat sitter I've ever had! I was very nervous about boarding my cat for over 3 weeks while we were away on a trip, but Hannah made it easy. She sent constant updates and photos to put my mind at ease, and clearly took amazing care of my cat. I love that my cat had her own separate space and that Hannah works from home, so she was able to spend a lot of time with my cat. My cat also came home with some new toys, which was a nice surprise. I will definitely be booking Hannah again the next time we go away. Thank you so much, Hannah!”

“Kevin did an amazing job watching my dog, Jamie, for the first time! He sent me daily photos of Jamie enjoying walks and relaxing in the sun on the balcony, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Jamie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I know he’s in great hands with Kevin, and I’ll definitely be rebooking!”

“Sadie had an excellent stay with Vanessa. You can tell that Vanessa and her family treated our dog like a part of their family. Vanessa sent daily photos/videos and updates. I 100% recommend her and would not hesitate to use her services in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of our Sadie girl!”

“Destiny was great about communication and our dog was thrilled from the moment we dropped him off. We got tons of pictures and each one she had a huge smile on her face! Would recommend her any day!”

“Rachael did an awesome job watching our dog Daphne for 2 weeks while we were away for the holidays! She did activities with the dogs every day including taking them on hikes, playing with toys, and running on her huge farm. I never worried about Daphne the whole time we were gone because Rachael took great care of her and sent photos and videos of her everyday to keep us updated! Rachael is the best!”

“Yenis was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos! Looked like our dog Tex had a great time and felt super comfortable! Would definitely book again 😊”

“Yaina was AMAZING! She took care of our dog like it was own. We got plenty of pictures while we were away which made us smile. We will definitely use her again. Rosie our dog had the best time!”

“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”

Claire was a fantastic sitter! She took amazing care of my two golden pups. She was very responsive, sent lots of pics, and accommodating to our changing schedule. She gave my dogs lots of love and took them on lots of walks. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Great overall experience! Thank you Jack for taking such wonderful care of our energetic baby Rex. Thank you also for the daily updates and videos, it was most comforting being so far away and being away from him for the first time. I would reach out again to Jack/Rover immediately if we are ever in need again.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
