“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”

“Erin was wonderful and I’d love to have her back. My cat has had a lot of health issues going on recently and I was very nervous going out of town but felt so much better knowing that he’d be in safe hands! She was a great communicator, very reliable, and my cat was kept healthy and happy. Thanks so much Erin!”

“Christina was amazing, I came home to happy and tired dogs. I appreciated how much she communicated through the stay when things changed and that she sent me updates like I requested. I always get a little nervous leaving my dogs but they looked so happy on the walks it made me really enjoy my vacation knowing they were in good hands.”


“Shauna was great. We were a little nervous leaving our new puppy and senior dog but Shauna made us feel at ease and that our babies were in good hands. She kept us posted on what was going on at home while we were away. Our boys can be a handful but Shauna was calm and confident in giving them the best care while we were away. She respected our home and treated our dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

“Jackson stayed at our home with our two hounds for about two weeks while we travelled internationally. We were so happy to have him! He was attentive, caring, and kept our house in tip top shape while we were away. He made sure to text us daily with updates and sent the best photos of our boys. Truly appreciative of his excellent service”

“Haley did a great job house sitting for me whilst I was on vacation and looked after our mini Aussie Shepherd. She communicated clearly and sent pictures of our dog having fun. She left the house neat and tidy too. Thanks Haley.”

“It’s always a bit uncomfortable to have a stranger in your home but Jenna was warm and did a terrific job with our fur babies. She was communicative, sent updates and photos and made us feel at ease. We returned after Christmas to a clean home with very happy and well cared for pets. We will definitely use her again if she’s up for it.”


About: Hello, my name is Tru!! I am a respectful girl and reliable when it comes to tasks and care. I love animals more than anything and I’m a huge dog person. I own a cat for 2 years and I took care of many of my family pets as well as owned dogs. I would be pleased to to meet your cute pets❤️❤️ I have recently been taking care of a 13 year old pit bull and shes so cute and sweet!! I am an unemployed 18 year old who is free almost all the time. Looking for lasting clients to take care of in this field. I treat pets in my home as sweet as possible even if their personality varies when it comes to affection. I treat pets in others home as the houses most prized possession because they are, lol.
“Esmeralda was flexible and communicative. She took great care of our critters while we were gone for the weekend, and even stopped in an extra time when our flight was delayed getting home.”

“It was the first time we left our puppy and we were so nervous. Brendan was incredibly communicative and sent us so many pictures & videos over the 3 days that made us feel at ease. It also looked like our puppy was having the time of her life with him! Can't recommend him enough!”

“Mikhayla was a wonderful sitter for our two cats while we were on a trip. She went above and beyond helping navigate issues our one cat was having with his medication. She was able to get our shy cat out of hiding to hang out and play, which is a rare feat for most sitters. Throughout the stay she provided us with frequent updates. She was overall so caring and attentive. We highly recommend her!”

“This was my second sitting with Joel and it went just as amazing as the first! Joel is kind,considerate and respectful. He treated my cat and home with the utmost care. You cannot go wrong by booking with Joel!”

“Mary did an excellent job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for the weekend. She is an excellent communicator, follows all instructions and gave our babies so much love! Will be booking her again :)”

“Alisia took such good care of our baby dog while we were away. We returned to find him happy and healthy and our house in good order. He was balky with her at first (he does that with new people), but she was patient and worked within the limits he set until he was willing to go for his usual walks and play. She sent pictures every day. We knew he was feeling more comfortable with her when he was laying on his back and snuggling on the couch.”

So thankful for Lizeth! She came over to help me with my girl super last minute and was just so wonderful. Lizeth was so good with my baby, extremely kind and caring. I will definitely be booking with Lizeth again and you should absolutely consider her to take care of your babies 💕

We are truly grateful to have found Mallory to watch over our two dogs while at a family reunion for almost a week. Having a sitter stay overnight was new to us as well as my husband and I are not from the area. On top of that, our older dog needs a little more attention these days. Upon meeting Mallory my dogs acted like they were seeing an old friend. She was attentive and asked all the questions for things I had not mentioned. she is extremely responsive and compassionate with a very good energy around animals. She was considerate enough to ask if an extra hand for walking the dogs would be okay on the day she had to work late and kept me reassured that they were in good hands with updates throughout the trip. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for animal care of any kind. Thank you so much Mallory and Lizeth!

Jack was absolutely fantastic as a sitter for our Annie girl. This was the first time we had ever used Rover and Jack made this the best possible experience. He provided lots of updates, sent us lots of pictures and we could tell that he genuinely cared for and loved our girl while we were gone. Not once did we worry about how she was doing while she was in Jack's care. We came back to our apartment looking better than when we left it, could not tell we had a sitter there at all, more like we had a house cleaner come by. Would recommend Jack to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, loving and responsible dog sitter. Will 100% book with Jack again when the time comes.

Haley was amazing for a last minute request after our other care plans fell through. She was so on top of things and communicative, and I didn’t feel stressed at all even through a power outage in our neighborhood. She was great with all our animals. We definitely have found our new go-to pet sitter!

Chris did a great job for us. We have an olderJack Russell who has some special needs. Chris really likes dogs and dogs like him. He spent a week in our home and was very respectful of our home. Not only can I highly recommend him but I'll definitely be using him again. Thank you Chris!

Mary was great for our first sit with her. She showed up right on time and we had no issues throughout the day. She provided pictures and updates, putting us at ease knowing that Petunia was being cared for. We will definitely be booking her again and recommend her for anyone else looking for a great sitter!

Miranda was professional, friendly and responsive from the first interaction. I had a difficult situation with two fairly new rescue dogs that sometimes get into doggy tiffs and she handled it with confidence and ease. She kept us updated regularly while we were gone and let me know if there were any issues. When I got anrrived home from our 12 day trip, our house was very neat and tidy. I would highly recommend Miranda to anyone who needs a pet sitter!

Erin did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Milo! She told me she has cats of her own so it felt good leaving him with someone who has the experience I was looking for. I had quite a bit of instructions for my cat while I was away, and she did a great job following through with everything I asked. Very attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure my cat was comfortable and well taken care of. She always sent me photos, giving me updates, and was great with communication! Very thankful for her help!

Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)

Bridget is not only highly recommended by me, but by my dog & cat too! This was the first time in a long time being away from my pets and Bridget put my mind at ease the minute we met for the meet & greet. She updated and sent pics twice a day. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Bridget!

Avery was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared and made sure my dog felt comfortable and loved. I would definitely book with Avery again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and pet sitter!

Once again, Shauna took such great care of my beloved pets while I was away. My pup is always so happy to see her and she looks happy from the pics Shauna sent. Even my cat who usually just hides trusts her enough to come out of hiding and receive Shauna’s love & attention. The house is spotless and pets are happy calm healthy when I return. Shauna is the best!! I’m now scheduling my travel around her schedule.
Caleb has been an excellent sitter both times for our pup Cooper, kept me updated on his status and was fast with his responses. The dog likes him and so do I. Anytime I am out of town I will be looking to use his services should he be available. I highly recommend him should you find yourself ever in need for a sitter.
