“James went over and above the call of duty!!! Not only did he save me from a horrible sitter but treated by dog like a queen!!! I can't thank Rover and James enough for saving my trip.”

About: I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort, I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in good hands with me. Currently working full time Monday through Friday. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, I’d just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Always free Saturday & Sundays. I make sure to ask numerous questions during meet & greets, that way I follow all care instructions exactly! I keep the environment clean, and make sure doors and windows are secured at all times. I also keep a close eye on every pet in case of any changes in behavior/health and provide regular updates with photos and videos
“Christina agreed to watch our 15-week-old puppy on fairly short notice, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the initial meet and greet through the day of house sitting, she was very professional, always on time, and our puppy gravitated to her immediately. This was our first time leaving the puppy since bringing her home a month and a half ago, and Christina made it so much easier to go out and enjoy ourselves without worrying. She sent a few thoughtful updates during the visit, including pictures, and it was clear they were both enjoying their time together. I also appreciated that she was very mindful of why I was out of the house and timed her updates so they wouldn’t interfere. I cannot recommend her enough and would not hesitate to trust her with our pup in the future.”

“Angela was the first person (other than family) we’ve had stay with our dog in 9 years. We were so anxious and she agreed to come do a meet and greet a few days before which made us feel so much better. She sent us frequent photos and updates. Our pup was a happy girl when we got home!”

About: Hi! I’m Shani, an attentive, responsible and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have a professional background in supporting individuals of all ages and abilities. I bring patience and strong communication skills to each job. I have experience coordinating and managing schedules. I ensure the well-being of those in my care. I am naturally skilled at providing safe, structured, and loving care for dogs, cats and other pets. I’m detail-oriented, and comfortable handling routines, while still being laid-back. I am confident I can handle you and your pet's needs - whether that means consistent walks, feeding schedules, or special instructions. I also work one-on-one with clients, giving me the ability to read behavior, adapt quickly, and personalize the relevant kind of attention—which is just as important for pets as it is for people. I’m calm under pressure, and committed to creating a positive, stress-free environment. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, companionship during the day, or attentive overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own—with kindness, respect, and affection. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to meet you and your pet. I mostly work from home and I have a flexible schedule so I enjoy my play time with my furry buddies or walks outside as an enjoyable part of my day. I have room indoors and outdoors for playing, a big fenced grassy backyard and a quiet neighborhood to explore for our walks. I can host pets at my house or come visit them at yours.
“Greg and his girlfriend, Hannah, were so wonderful. My flight got delayed and I had to find a sitter to watch my two pups for the same day and they were fast to respond and very accommodating! Greg seemed super knowledgeable and sent me updates and pictures of my dogs! They were respectfully of my home and left it just as they found it! Definitely will book with him again :)”


“One of the most important things when our family goes away is making sure we have a caring, responsible sitter for our dog, Bucky. Alyssa is amazing! We can go away and be certain that Bucky will be loved and cared for! We highly recommend her!❤️”

About: I'm dedicated to providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. With years of experience, I offer reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's cuddle time, play sessions, or simply ensuring they're fed and watered, your pet's well-being is my priority. Rest assured, I'm committed to maintaining their routine and providing companionship and affection while you're away. My schedule can easily accommodate the needs and preferences of your pup, as I am home full time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and walks for your fur baby, as needed. We have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your dogs to play and run. When walking dogs, I use a standard leash, in addition to a hands-free waist leash, to ensure your pup stays safe.
“I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!”

“I can't say enough great things about Katie! I have a skeptical Border Collie that doesn't embrace most until after she's been around them. However, Molly fell in love with Katie the second she walked in the door! I was never the type to have a total stranger stay at my home when I wasn't there; however, was desperate this past summer. I felt totally at ease having Katie there and when she told me she was leaving our interview to practice the med routine with a family that had numerous dogs that she'd be taking care of the following week and wanted to be sure she had it down; that sealed the deal. This was something Katie did on her own time, using her own gas to be sure that she'd do a great job while the family went away. I've used her again since and have such peace of mind when I need to go anywhere overnight now. We love her!!!!”
“Victoria was excellent to our cats. She gave them all the time and attention they needed while we were gone and despite them not generally being warm to strangers she got one of cats to pet her which is huge for a stranger to come in and do.”

“Ulana had the outmost care for both of my dogs! I received constant updates, and felt at ease while on vacation knowing my pups were well-taken care of. I would recommend Ulana 100%, you can’t ask for a better sitter!”

About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.
“Maura did an amazing job housesitting our dog and two cats. She was extremely responsive before and during our stay. She took great care of not only our pets, but our home while we were away and that was very much appreciated. She took some adorable pictures of the furbabies and left them for us when we got home, along with a thoughtful note for our family. We would highly recommend Maura and use her again for her housesitting/petsitting service. Thanks for helping us enjoy our time away!”

“Tricia did a great job with our 3 fur babies! She stayed for the weekend and took care of their breakfast, dinner and bedtime. They are all energetic (one pup being 8 months old) - so we’re always looking for a true dog lover to help us when we’re away. We’d have her again for sure!”

“Jessica was wonderful with my dog Emma. Emma is an 11 year old rescue with hip issues. It is often difficult for Emma to climb stairs. Jessica slept downstairs so that Emma would not be alone. Very compassionate. Also Jessica left the house the same way she found it. She was reliable and compassionate. I would recommend Jessica to anyone.”

Although we ultimately didn’t need Emilee to watch our dogs due to a last‑minute situation on our end, she was extremely responsive, professional, and understanding throughout the entire process. Her communication was clear and timely, and she was very accommodating despite the short notice. Based on our interaction, she seems reliable and genuinely caring, and we would absolutely consider reaching out to her again in the future.

Sarah is great. I needed an in home sitter last minute and she was very accurate to that. My dog can be very anxious and shy around new people, but he warmed up to them very quickly during the meet and greet. Next time I need an in home pet sitter I will use Sarah again.

Lauren was very easy to work with from our first conversation. She took notes and followed our instructions well. Lauren also sent updates through out her stay with Marlee, which I appreciate so much! I am happy to say we have found a house sitter for Marlee going forward when we go away. Our home was respected and taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Lauren if you are looking for a pleasant, responsible person to care for your pets!
Thanks Alyssa for taking care of my babies. I always feel comfortable traveling when she is with them. My home was tidy after her stay, and most of all my girls were happy and content. Merry Christmas and a very happy new year! Will stay in touch for my next adventure!❤️💚

We decided to leave our 10 year old Dobie at home this time during our vacation. We missed him sooo much as well as our cat but knew they were both in excellent care and company with Katia. Katia kept us informed daily with their activities and sent pictures as well 🐈🐾. When we decide on another trip we would gladly book Katia .
