“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”

“Stefanie is amazing! We’ve had her for in home boarding multiple times and she takes the best care of our fur babies. She goes above and beyond and both our dogs and cat absolutely love her.”

“My first rover experience and Autumn did fantastic this past weekend! She was extremely respectful, communicative , caring and patient while taking care of elohim and my place. 1000% would have her sit again and recommend! Thank you Autumn!”

“Miko was well taken care of with Dominique! Initially Miko was nervous but by the end of the stay, he got the hang of it. Dominique was great, keeping us posted regularly on how things were going. Highly recommend.”

“Rachel did a great job housesitting our 14 year old beagle! Belle was relaxed and happy when we returned home, and the house was clean. I would definitely recommend Rachel to friends/family :-)”

“Rachel provided the best care for Apollo while we were on vacation. We were anxious to leave our elderly boy for a week, but Rachel put our minds at ease. We didn't have to worry about how he was doing because we received pictures and video daily. When an incident happened with Apollo, she communicated immediately and responded with professionalism, kindness and understanding. Apollo and our home were well cared for and we would recommend 100% recommend her services to others.”

“My fiancee and I can not say enough great things about Benjamin and how he took care of our furry goons and our house. Our cat and dog seemed to love him and he did a absolutely fantastic job of keeping us updated and the fur kids entertained. We were gone for 3 1/2 weeks in South Africa and came back to 2 happy animals and a very neat house. We told him to knock himself out and help himself to anything in the fridge, freezer or pantry and yet he still replaced some V-8 drinks and Corn Nuts he had consumed. We told him that was un-necessary but he did it anyway. I would absolutely recommend Benjamin to pet or house sit and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of the fur kids and their home. Benjamin, thank you for making us feel good about leaving our fur babies and our home in your hands!”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!
About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.
“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”
“all my fur babies seemed happy and healthy when we came back from my vacation. I got pictures daily which helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. The house was in good order and I have no complaints except Pip seemed disappointed to see me and not Gabriella.”

“We are so grateful for Sierra. She did a stellar job taking care of the animals while we were gone. It was our first in-home experience and she was wonderful. Very trustworthy and left our place probably cleaner than we left it. Thank you, Sierra!”

About: I’m a vet tech in the army so I am trained in basic first aid for dogs and cats, as well as giving all types of medications. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs, and some experience with cats. I am in the army currently, I work from 6am-1pm with an hour lunch usually from 11-12. Most weekends I am here but occasionally I travel home to visit family. Other than that I am usually free all afternoon on weekends days and all day on weekends. I am a trained army vet tech and have experience working with and caring for animals. The only services I’m unable to provide are boarding since I am living on base.

About: I am an experienced animal caregiver with over 2 decades of experience with dogs large and small, puppies and seniors, cats and kittens as well as experience with animals as small as pocket pets like ferrets, as well as animals as large as draft horses! I am very communicative with my clients as my animals are my babies and I want to ensure they are safe and happy while I am away and I ensure my clients are updated with how their furry companion(s) are handling their absence. Due to having 4 dogs and a medium sized cat, I no longer offer boarding at my home however my schedule for house sitting and drop in visits / walks is usually pretty open. Send me a message and we can chat to see if we are a right fit! My years of experience has left me with nothing but positive feedback. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record and am always willing to take your pet out for a walk at a trail such as mission reach trails which I live just a few short blocks away from or to a dog park if the client sees fit.
“Noel was wonderful! She took care of my girl like she was her own. She left my house spotless and was super communicative and checked in every day. Would recommend her to anyone.”


About: Hi! I’m a first year veterinary student with several years of experience in veterinary clinics and pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health needs, and giving a little extra attention to pets who need it. My top priority is always making your pet feel happy and comfortable while you’re away, and will always treat them like they are my own. I’m currently home from veterinary school, and will be available to provide in-home pet sitting, farm sitting, and dog-walking tailored to your pets needs. I care for pets in their home with respect, cleanliness, and pay close attention to detail. I make it a goal to follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean, and make safety and comfort my top priority. I want to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away.
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”

“We cannot thank Mel enough for dog sitting. It is truly amazing to have someone you can fully trust with your fluffy babies when you are away home. They not only give our dogs the best care, but they are flexible with any last minute changes including extending dog sitting. They send us many pictures and videos of them everyday, and keep us updated on everything. We are so lucky and blessed to have found the best dog sitters that we can trust our lives with and will be always going back to them.”

“Mariah once again impressed us with her outstanding care of our four small dogs and our home this past weekend. Her attention to detail, cleanliness, and the love she shows our pets is remarkable. We truly appreciate the regular updates and adorable pictures she sends, keeping us at ease while we’re away. This was our fifth time using Mariah’s services, and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Mariah, for always going above and beyond!”
