“Danika was available on a moments notice when we had to rush back east for a family emergency. The dogs loved her and she took great care of them. They were so happy while we were gone and she kept in constant contact with pictures.”

“Kinan was exceptional. He took great care of our two pups, made sure the house was spotless when we arrived home, and helped us with a very big project. Can't recommend him enough, and plan to work with him again!”

“Michael is an amazing sitter who takes excellent care of our pups (and our in-laws pups too!) when we have family travel. For both long and short trips, he’s reliable, communicative, and simply amazing all around. I’d give 10 stars if I could.”

“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”

“Catherine was so attentive to our dog Rae! She sent plenty of pics and I also felt super comfortable with her staying in our home. She left the place perfect! Will definitely reach out to her again!”

“Cynder went above and beyond cat sitting for my elderly cat with health issues. I received multiple updates a day with both pics and vedio. Cynder also updated me on issues at home that popped up and problem solved them (part of kitchen tripped) and even cleaned the microwave and put the used dishes in the dishwasher prior to me getting home. If I have to go out again on a buisness trip, I will be booking Cynder again :)”


“Tracy was great. My Furbaby Pack was so well cared for. And my anxious 9-month old pup was not stressed out he was his happy puppy self. I hope to be able to book her again.”

“Sofia has gone above and beyond caring for our 4 dogs while we were out of town. Her sweetness and attention to detail with our dogs, made us feel not worried. Usually our dog Feebs barks at sitters, and she didn’t with Sofia. We would definitely love to bring her to sit for us again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you!!!!”

“Christ did an amazing job with my dogs, took them out on walks, sent lots of photos and took very good care of them while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend him to sit for anyone.”

“Cat M. did an excellent job with my dog, Maggie. Cat walked Maggie twice a day and she even bathed her after Maggie had rolled in the dirt. My house was in the same condition as when I left it, which was greatly appreciated. Cat even spent her own time with me after I returned to teach me some tricks to use when taking Maggie for a walk, as Maggie is a puller and she is reactive to other dogs. Cat has been the best pet sitter through Rover that I’ve had in the past and I will definitely book with her again.”

“Sherina has a calm and soothing presence that our girls loved when they met her. We felt really good about leaving them in her care. And when we arrived home, we found them happy and healthy, and our house in good order. We look forward to having Sherina care for them again soon!!”

“Antoinette is responsible, attentive, and friendly! For my first booking with her, she watched my cat for five nights. She set up an in-person meeting beforehand and paid careful attention to his food and play preferences. She also sent photos updates with each meal, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even brought in a package for me without having to ask. I’d happily book her again!”

“We got daily updates on Millie for the almost 2 weeks we were out of town for our wedding. Millie was excited to see Dustin when he arrived, which of course makes us happy and comfortable to see. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”

About: I had a dog from the ages of 2 to 15. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to get a new one since then (I am 20 now), and I miss having a pup around! I learned how to take care of her from a very young age, and I also have experience with dog sitting for friends as well as babysitting my nieces regularly. I currently work part-time with consistent 8 hour shifts on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 am to 6 pm and a occasionally a few shorter shifts throughout the week. This makes me available to be hanging out with your dog Sundays through Thursdays for majority of the day, and before and after work Friday and Saturday! I grew up with dogs that I no longer have, and I've pet sat for friends and family many times! I also am an aunt to two toddler girls that I watch fairly consistently. I figure that if I can handle those crazy girls, I can handle your crazy dogs! I can follow exact instructions to ensure you know what kind of care I will be providing, and I can also just use my experience and knowledge of keeping babies alive!
“Angie took care of our Havanese! She stayed at the house for 3 days, 2 nights. She is very caring to dogs and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. Thank you Angie!”

About: My family and I have owned pets since I can remember. I am currently 33 with 3 pets of my own, but have grown up with pets in the home my whole childhood. My family always had dogs and cats in our home, and additionally I owned a bearded dragon, fish, and a tortoise that I helped care for daily. Once I moved to college in 2014, I got my first pet of my own. Her name is Stella and she has been with me for the last 12 years. She has lived with me in Oregon, Texas, and now Reno. Additionally, my wife and I have a silly orange cat named Nemo, and a fun/energetic Frenchie named Comet. While living in Texas we adopted another cat with FeLV who also developed diabetes. I have experience giving insulin injections and taking blood glucose readings. I have met and cared for many of my friend’s pets of all ages and sizes and can responsibly provide all daily care for your furry babies as needed. This includes but is not limited to feeding, walking, playing, transporting, giving oral meds, and subcutaneous injections. I currently work as a teacher and have extended breaks during the fall, winter, and summer. During the school year I will have availability during afternoons and evenings for some care activities, and weekends for more. During breaks, if not traveling, and I will have a lot more flexibility daily. Update 06/08: I am currently on summer break from teaching. My weekday availability has been updated with more available times/ services. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my 2 dogs and an indoor cat. The pets have access to the entire unit including furniture during the day and when sleeping. Our spare bedroom can be used for your pet if they are more anxious and want separation from the other animals. My dogs are crated when no one is home to supervise, and the cat has full access to the unit at all times. My pets are all friendly towards other dogs and cats. In the past when sitting for animals, I have them fall into the same routines as my animals for walking, feeding, pottying, and crating, unless specified different by the owner. When doing drop ins and house sitting, I follow all instructions left by the owner.

“Renee was so amazing and will definitely use her again. She took care of our girls very well, walking them 2-3 times each day and giving them lots of attention. Made me feel at peace knowing our dogs got the care they needed. She also watered some of my plants, and without asking took our trash out so we didn’t miss the pickup. Thank you Renee!”

Catherine did an amazing job house sitting and watching our high energy Australian Sheppard and two cats. We were gone for several weeks and knowing that our animals were in great hands was very assuring. She kept us updated with pictures and took our dog on daily walks. Our house was in great condition when we came back, she took care of mail/trash/etc. She responded quickly to messages and made sure we were on track to be home on time before she left. Catherine is great and I highly recommend her for any pet and house sitting needs! Thank you!

Mariana was amazing! She took wonderful care of our dogs, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated throughout her stay. We came home to happy, relaxed pups. She was punctual, very organized, and a pleasure to work with. We would absolutely book Mariana again and highly recommend her!

Stacy was responsive to our dog’s needs. he has many idiosyncrasies and Stacy catered to them. Jack was safe and well cared for. Stacy left our home clean and tidy. Not easy with a 2 year old golden retriever. She kept him busy with morning walks and backyard play time. Stacy is a dream to work with. She communicated frequently and let us know Jack’s activities through photos and video. Stacy will be my go to for house sitting Jack.

Emily was absolutely incredible with our fur babies! This was our first experience having a sitter, and she set the bar high. Due to our advanced planning window she was incredibly accomodating and flexible meeting the animals twice prior to the actual appointment. She sent daily photo updates - unpromtped - keeping us in the loop to their behavior and demeanor while we were away. She was very communicative, responsible and very sweet. Upon returning home everything was as we left it, and the animals were happy, healthy and relaxed. We will definitely be booking Emily in the future! :)

We love Kailey, and our pets do too! She provided wonderful communication throughout our trip and sent daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, well cared for pets and a spotless house. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

Antoinette is responsible, attentive, and friendly! For my first booking with her, she watched my cat for five nights. She set up an in-person meeting beforehand and paid careful attention to his food and play preferences. She also sent photos updates with each meal, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.

Jaden was such a joy to work with. From our first meeting, until the end, They were super responsive and respectful of our house. Took great care of the dogs and made sure to give us updates each day! We can’t thank you enough and look forward to having you stay in the future! Thank you!!!

If I could give a million stars, I would. Makiah is absolutely the best sitter. Harley was a little under the weather when I left, so I made sure Makiah had my neighbor’s contact information in case anything happened while I was away and out of service. Unfortunately, Harley did end up needing a trip to the vet, and Makiah handled everything with incredible care and professionalism. She kept me updated every step of the way, administered medications, cleaned up after Harley, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and cared for. What impressed me most was how quickly Harley warmed up to her. It’s clear that Makiah genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I cannot express how grateful I am for the level of care, compassion, and attention she provided. Knowing Harley was in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would trust Makiah again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Danika was very professional and kind to our pup. She sent lots of update photos and walked her as much as we asked her to. She kept us informed about how things were going and when we returned our pup was as happy as ever so I trust she was taken care of. She also kept our home clean and took out the trash for us.
