“Rae is the best- we are repeat clients. She saved us from a different situation and helped out at the last moment. Our Chow trusts her which says a lot in itself. Thanks again Rae!”

“Dukce is awesome with both our animals! She is so friendly and takes great care of both our cat and dog. They love seeing and hanging out with her and she also does a great job taking care of our house while we're away. I 100% recommend Dulce for any pet sitting needs.”

“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”

“Jeweliana and Riley were phenomenal! We were initially skeptical since we had never used Rover before, but we’re so glad we found them. They were very communicative, kind to our dogs, and took excellent care of our home. I’m so thankful to have found people who get along so well with our pups and make us feel comfortable while we’re away, knowing our babies are in great hands.”

“Crystal provided wonderful care for our fur babies while we were out of town. I appreciated her communication and check-ins and our animals seemed very happy while she was here. She left our home in great shape also. I would definitely use Crystal again for our future needs!”

“Charles did an amazing job with Koda. I received daily updates and pictures on how he was doing. He was even even able to help out an extra night when our flight was cancelled. I would definitely book him again in the future.”
“Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!”

“Jess was absolutely fantastic with our two elderly pups! She handled giving Layla her medication every morning with ease and made sure both dogs got outside for short walks, even though it can be a bit tricky with seniors. They warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. Jess stayed in our guest bedroom and left the house spotless, just as she found it. She even went above and beyond by picking up extra dog food so I didn’t have to worry about it when I got back. We’re already looking forward to having her watch the pups again later this month. Thanks so much, Jess!”

“Maverick was great! He was everything we needed in a puppy sitter. He was communicative and polite and the house was in great shape when we returned. 10/10 would use again!!!”

About: Welcome! I want to make this experience as PAWsitive as possible. Your pets will go home plotting world domination as they’ve had too good of a time. Just kidding, maybe. - Former Veterinary Technician 👩🏾⚕️🐾 I’m available all week! Please request bookings in advance, though I’m willing to accommodate your needs on a day of basis, must provide thorough communication. I’ll make sure to treat your loved one with the utmost respect as I would an actual child. I have beds, toys, and treats for them.
“Evan was excellent with our Maximus. He communicated well and spent the whole day with our pup a few days after Maximus was neutered and provided great care. Would highly recommend him!”

“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”

“Laura did a fantastic job watching my little guy, Cash! She sent me updates and photos which I always greatly appreciate and was flexible with some time changes at the last minute! We highly recommend her!!”

About: I love giving pets genuine one-on-one attention—playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, or window-watching together. I keep things clean, stick to schedules, and add extra love to every visit so your pet feels cared for, not lonely. I show up with kindness, patience, and lots of affection to make your fur baby feel happy and connected while you’re gone. I work 12-hour shifts Friday–Sunday, so I’m totally free Monday through Thursday to focus on your fur baby. This gives me lots of time for walks, play, check-ins, and keeping your pet’s routine steady and stress-free during the week. I create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and understood. I keep their space tidy, stick to their routines, and always make sure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure. With gentle care and clear updates, you’ll always know your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved.
“We were gone for nearly three weeks and came home to a clean house and a happy dog! Ligia is great with dogs and respectful of your property. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a house full of pets and started pet sitting and working for horse trainers as a teenager. I completed a vet tech course and worked in an animal ER before my military service. I experience with all kinds of animals- from dogs and cats to horses- and I truly love them all! I’ve done extensive research and hands-on training with my own dogs, so I’m comfortable helping pets who need a little extra structure or patience. These days, my home is happily shared with three dogs and a cat who keep life full of love (and fur). My pets are family, and I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for yours- that’s why I treat every animal like my own, with compassion, patience, and genuine love. I’m available most days and flexible with timing. I can accommodate early mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I can usually accommodate visits or walks on short notice as well. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in my care. I tailor each visit to fit your pets’ unique needs and routines. I’m attentive, reliable, and always make communication a priority so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved.
“Scott was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him for you dog sitting needs. He took Hugo on multiple long walks and hung out with him during the day. He also brought him to Brewhound for some play time. We loved all the pictures, videos and tracked walks as well. We will definitely be using him again in the future. We felt at ease knowing our pup was being cared for by Scott.”

“Siena was fantastic with our dog and cat. Our dog is very skittish, but Siena was very patient with her. She was on time and very friendly. We plan to hire Siena again!”

“Shana is a fantastic, pleasant, professional, thoughtful person who gave our pets the love & attention they needed while mom & dad were out of town! She kept in touch & gave us updates. She even sent pictures. We are so happy with the way she cared for our home as well!”

“Adriana was amazing with our 4 babies. Communication was top notch and we received so many photos. She had no problems with giving our old lady cat her medicine and the house was just like we left it. Very professional and so kind. Will definitely be booking her again!”
