“Leah was an absolute lifesaver! After struggling to find a responsive sitter, Leah answered our call immediately. I was a bit nervous because our dog, Ava, can be skittish and barky with new people, but Leah handled the meet-and-greet perfectly and asked great questions. Despite Ava not making the best first impression, Leah wasn't hesitant at all and accepted the booking. Within just three hours of the stay starting, Leah and Ava were already friends! Leah is a great communicator, met all our dogs' needs, and was incredibly respectful of our home. We felt completely at ease during our trip. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her!”

“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Brooke was very professional and responsive. She arrived promptly and followed our care instructions for Ernie. Based on the pictures she sent, he had a great time with her this weekend!”

“Amazing and always great to talk to, made sure I was able to be reassured on my vacay that my pet was well taken care of. Would love to book again amazing individual and loves your pets!”

“Rebecca was very responsive and detailed so she knew what was required of the dogs. We got daily updates with pictures and comments. The dogs were very well cared for, the house was clean, and the dogs were happy! We would definitely use her again.”

“My dogs took to Oshogwe instantly. They enjoyed the time they spent with him. He was great with communication and kept me updated through the entire visit. I will schedule with him again when needed.”

“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”
“Oli was a wonderful sitter! Oli was super attentive to my baby girl who can be very stubborn at times. Oli did a great job keeping me informed of how things were going and sent loads of great pictures! I think my dog would be more than happy to have Oli stay with her again!”


“Ashley was great with our two dogs. We had a last minute need and Ashley came by the night before to meet our dogs and arrived the next day on time and took great care of them. Great experience from start to finish!!”

“Chandler was awesome. Very kind and considerate and managed all my animals well. I have 1 cane corso and 1 pitty and with them being bigger dogs, I was concerned about them being too much for one person. But Chandler handled it like a real pro and was great with our senior cat as well!”

“Alisa is amazing, she took on a big challenge with our 2 Pitt Bulls and one of them had just been rescued only a few days before we left. She worked on pottie training and even helped training them to play nicely together! I’m hooked….. I will try to get her to stay here with our hounds every time we go out of town knowing they will be well taken care of!”

About: I am a dog mom through and through! Growing up in the country we had many dogs of all breeds I enjoyed. Now I am the proud mom to two mini dachshunds who love to hike and nap with me. I have watched many friends dogs and cats throughout the last couple years. Connecting with new animals brings me happiness plus I know how hard it is to find a trusted pet sitter for your animals. I want to be the best fit for your fur babies so let's connect! I am available part time for pet sitting. Weekends are more open than week days at this moment. I will only accept work I can fully dedicate my time and energy to. I always provide the safest transportation if needed. I carry dog treats, water, poop bags, and leash with me in my SUV. Plenty of room for a dog of any size. When visiting your home I will respect your privacy and home. I promise to leave all areas as clean as they were when I arrived. I will always double check locks, doors and the animals needs before exiting.
“My first time using Rover, and I’ll definitely be using it again thanks to Christina. Being 600 miles away from my pet and leaving her with a complete stranger had my mind worried but quickly eased with how well Christina was taking care of my Bella”

“Sarah was INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend! She was very easy to work with, sent lots of updates and photos, took amazing care of our pup, and dealt with all of his quirks without issue! She gave a daily update with walks, eating, highlights, any issues which was a very easy way to see their day in a glance. Our fridge died while she was house sitting and she was very communicative to help diagnose what happened, and even moved our food into bins in the snowy backyard. She truly went above and beyond! She left our house clean and our dog happy and tired (from all his walking and attention).”
