1. Scott T.

“My two Boston Terriers were well taken care of by Scott while I was on vacation. I received daily photos and updates on their dog walks and I could tell they were very comfy with Scott as their sitter. He played with them, gave them their fav treats and followed care guide great. My very cautious cat even made an appearance or two. Will definitely rebook next time I travel!”

3. Crystal G.


“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”

8. Leslie A.

“Leslie took care of both of my older pawppies ( 9 year old and 13 year old) for more than 2 years on and off. My Chinese Shar Pei and my rat terrier. They required multiple vitamins and medicines, specially my Shar Pei in her ears and eyes, Leslie not only did this in excellence but with love and care, I could always tell my puppies were happy to see her and I had the pleasure of meeting her rescue who she cared for with velvet touch as well. Leslie is kind and firm which in my opinion makes her versatile to care for different breeds since Shar Pei’s can be very stubborn and have a standofish temper. I highly recommend Leslie to care for any dogs and cats.”

“Kayla was great. She stayed with B for a weekend at our house and was a very clean guest! Our girl seemed happy and well cared for. Would book her again”


10. Mel P.

13. Dillon H.
“First time letting someone watch my dogs in my own place, and it was a positive experience. Dillon followed directions well, everything seems to be as they were, and my dogs also seem normal. I appreciated the fact he messaged me a couple days before the booking to let me know he was looking forward to meeting us. One of my dogs will bark and growl at new people, and Dillon showed no fear, allowing my dog to warm up sooner than later. I was updated with a photo the next day, reassuring me everything was ok, and was able to enjoy my vacation. Dillon was communicative, friendly, respectful, and neat. Thanks again!”

16. Scarlett M.

“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”


17. Jeweliana W.
About: I have had animals since I was 6. I currently have two dogs, three cats, and recently lost my Guinea pig who I had for almost four years after adopting from a previous owner. My boyfriend and I are our family & friends go-to pet sitters & we will adjust what we provide based on your pets needs. Currently, I am working part-time at my “survival” job while pursuing education in aesthetics! Although my schedule is busy, I am still very willing to be flexible to your needs! I will likely not be taking pets for in-home care due to our house already having enough animals, but if we ever do take animals in-house, we have a fenced in yard, calm neighborhood for walks, and five of our own pets


18. Katherine S.
“Katherine is a wonderful pet-sitter and dog walker. She's attentive and provided regular updates and made sure to follow my directions. My dog can sometimes be difficult around new people, but Katherine took it in stride and provided great care. I'll definitely call on her again whenever I need a pet-sitter.”


19. Eric D.

“Eric couldn’t have been better plain and simple. Versatile, frequent and clear communication and the pup has never been happier. Exactly what I hoped for using this service I wouldn’t change a thing.”


20. Raleigh M.
““Our dogs absolutely adore Raleigh!! She’s been our first choice for dog walking and overnight sitting because of the love and care she gives to our pups. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or handling their daily routines, she goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. She’s also incredibly reliable when it comes to managing their medical needs, always attentive and careful with any medications or special care instructions. We have complete peace of mind knowing our fur babies are in her hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy sitter!””
