“Leah is a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of our two cats. It is a unique situation because they stay in different parts of the house, but she handled it like a pro! She played with them and spent time with them! She sent updates and photos! Looking forward to having Leah come back soon!”
“Gregory was great with our two dogs. He was so communicative and our dogs were well taken care of the weekend we went away. We look forward to using him again.”
“Jessica takes amazing care of our Shiba Inu! Our pup is usually very shy and takes a long time to warm up to new people, but she connected with Jessica right away. We’re so grateful to have found someone our dog trusts and loves!”
“Emma was wonderful with my Duke and he is not easy. She was very patient and sweet with him. She sent us pictures often and took great care of him. Emma left everything organized and neat. We will definitely call her again.”
“Norman showed up with great energy & care for our first time with him sitting. Page loves to see him & Norman stays in touch throughout the day with good awareness to tune in for needs for me & pup while I was away.”
“Super awesome sitter. Gave my pup such a great time. Very attentive and loving. Jax loves Joshua’s pets and yard. Will definitely rebook.”
“Ruth is an A++++ doggie sitter. I will always ask her first when I need someone. She is soooo loving, and always gives the best updates. My dogs are always smiling and happy in their pictures and videos.”
“Gianna is so caring, sweet, compassionate and professional. She cared for our elderly dog, Trixie, for 12 days. Trixie has some medical needs, needs to take meds twice a day and is a very picky eater. Gianna handled it all like a pro! She sent us daily pics and updates which made us feel much better about being away from Trixie. We are so thankful we found Gianna to care for our sweet Trixie!”
“Ajanay was fantastic- great communication throughout and I came back to happy pets and a clean home.”
About: I have more than a decade of pet care and sitting experience, including my own fur baby, Noah, and overnight stays with pets of co-workers, relatives, and family friends. I am an effective communicator, team player, and happy to discuss special circumstances or specialty care that you may need. I am active in my community as a teacher and a youth baseball/softball umpire, which gives my schedule flexibility to provide short- or long-term visits, even on short notice. I can provide any type of specialty care that you may need, including but not limited to medication dosing, crating, feeding, or just keeping your pet company for a while.
“Abigail sat for us while we were away briefly. Really good experience. She's very nice, was on time, kept us informed and sent pictures. Our dogs seemed very happy and were able to keep to their routine, and importantly, they like her very much. Highly likely to have her sit or pop in again soon.”
“The best dog sitter that I have had. She took care of my big dog for a full 7 days and was amazing. If you are thinking of booking, my advice is yes!”
“Lexi was absolutely amazing! I know I’m a crazy pet owner. My animals are my first children. I cannot say enough nice things about Lexi! She followed my 3 pages of instructions, sent me pictures, never minded when I asked how things were going. When I got home my animals were so well taken care of! Lexi left treats and toys for all the animals. The house looked better than how I left it. I would 100% recommend Lexi and look forward to using her again soon!”
About: My whole life I have had pets, from having our own to fostering. In 2012 my family and I started fostering cats and eventually would foster dogs for local rescues. We’ve had a wide range of personalities come through our home, so I am confident I can take good care of your pet! We also had our own pet sitting business starting in 2014, and only just closed in January of 2025, now that my sister and I are out of the house. However, I want to continue to bring families peace of mind that their pets are well taken care of while they are away. I have two cats of my own so waking up early or staying up late to take care of my own pets or yours is easy to fit into my schedule. I am also a contract theatre tech, so my working hours are flexible! I currently do not offer pet stays at my home, however I am happy to stay at yours if needed! I will always follow your rules and instructions closely as I know each pet and owner has their own preferences for how things are done. I’ll treat your space and pets with the same love and respect I give my own!
“I’ll try to keep this brief, but I can’t say enough great things about Jen. I needed a sitter who could watch my reactive Cattle Dog for nearly two days, at a hotel, during my wedding weekend. Once a month, since early spring, we met up with Jen at the park so she could get to know my challenging boy before the big day. Immediately, we knew she was the right person. Jen is calm, intuitive, and intelligent. She respected his “quirks” and didn’t push him. I’m a self-proclaimed crazy dog mom, and I was terrified to leave to him with someone I didn’t really know. I had never used Rover before. My husband and I were so impressed and grateful for how flexible she was with our crazy wedding schedule. Jen eased a MAJOR stressor for us, and we couldn’t be more appreciative ❤️”
“Rita was outstanding with our two Siberian Huskies! She was on time, dependable, and easy to work with. She was very good with the dogs and left our house in great shape after an overnight sitting. We were very pleased and will book her again!”
“Susan is amazing. Our Lola is a little high maintenance and needs a lot of attention. Susan took such great care of her that she was sad to see her leave. We will request Susan in the future and hope that she is available.”
“Excellent!!”
About: I've got a lot of experience with pet care, especially with dogs. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my dedication to their well-being and ensuring they feel loved and safe. I specialize in training puppies and providing excellent senior care for older dogs. I believe that every dog deserves the best care possible, and I strive to provide that for each furry friend I look after. If you ever need advice on training puppies or caring for senior dogs, feel free to ask me! Pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to prioritize the well-being of my furry friends by incorporating feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime into my daily schedule. Training sessions are also crucial to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. My pets are like family to me, so I always ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve every day. I make sure to provide a safe, trustworthy environment for pets in both my home and my client's home. Depending on the service I offer, I tailor my care routines to meet the specific needs of each pet. This can include feeding, grooming, exercise, playtime, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for them to thrive. I always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care.

Scott R.
“"Leaving my beloved dogs, Rocco and Barkley, in someone else's care always fills me with a bit of anxiety, but Scott Robb quickly put all my worries to rest. As an 8th-grade teacher, Scott clearly brings a unique blend of patience, responsibility, and genuine care to everything he does, and it shines through in his work with animals. Rocco, my senior dog, requires a gentle touch and understanding, and Scott provided him with the most loving and attentive care. It was clear he made Rocco feel comfortable and cherished. And then there's Barkley, my energetic Goldendoodle puppy, who can be a handful! Scott handled Barkley's boundless energy with ease, ensuring he got plenty of exercise and playtime while also maintaining a calm and positive environment. It's truly a testament to Scott's character that he could so seamlessly manage the differing needs of both a senior dog and a rambunctious puppy with such grace and genuine affection. I received regular updates and photos, which truly put my mind at ease. I can wholeheartedly recommend Scott Robb for any pet care needs. He goes above and beyond, and your furry family members will be in the best possible hands!"”

Emma did a nice job with our animals and plants. She was flexible and was able to stay later than I had originally asked.
We’re so grateful Norman was available to care for our two dogs! He took the time to visit us and meet the pups in advance, which gave him a chance to review our care instructions and put us at ease. Norman is punctual, communicative, and incredibly warm — it was clear from the start that our dogs were in good hands. He sent regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He also took excellent care of our home — you’d never know someone had stayed here! We’d absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.
Omg! We are so lucky to have found Leah! We had a kitten who is a very scared girl, and Leah was able to help her feel comfortable and safe after she was hiding for a few hours. I was so nervous biscuit wouldn’t warm up and I would be worrying about her during our whole trip but Leah is literally such a pro she was able to ease biscuit out of hiding and comfortable in no time! She sent me pictures and updates to ease my mind. She also was a great chef for our picky eater who eats freeze dried raw food (which other people always struggle to make the way sniffers likes it). Overall we are so pleased with Leah and her husband and would recommend her to anyone!!!!
Jacqueline is such a great dog sitter. She’s attentive to the dogs needs, great with communication and updates, and made us feel at ease that we left our dogs in more than capable hands. 10/10 We will absolutely be hiring her again for our pups. 😊
The best dog sitter that I have had. She took care of my big dog for a full 7 days and was amazing. If you are thinking of booking, my advice is yes!
Jen is very caring with Missy, a senior beagle. Jen stays in our home and keeps Missy’s routine when we are away. So happy that Jen helps us!
Rita was fantastic! My dog has pretty extreme separation anxiety, but Rita made him feel completely comfortable and happy while I was away. She went above and beyond to make homemade dog treats, extra long play times, and extensive cuddling to ease the stress.
Angela was absolutely amazing! She took incredible care of our cat Pixie and our dog Churro while we were away. From the thoughtful updates to the sweet photos, it was clear they were both happy, relaxed, and in great hands. We came home to two very content pets—and an incredibly clean house, which was such a lovely surprise. Angela went above and beyond in every way, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
We were very pleased with the care given to the dogs. Their needs were met and then some. The house was also in good shape when we returned. We enjoyed the pictures they sent us. We would definitely ask them back.
Oscar was so exited and happy to see her again. We weren't worried outside while Oscar stayed with Jei at our home. Thanks
Luke was so great in watching our dog Indie while we were gone for over a week. He stayed in our house and made our dog feel so comfortable and loved while we were out of town. Luke updated us with pictures, helped with odd and ends we forgot in the house, and gave our energetic (and early-rising) dog tons of play and love. I felt so comfortable knowing Luke was there to watch our dog, and he was so helpful in a pinch to jump in and do extra when my flight home was cancelled. I cannot recommend Luke highly enough!
