“Stephanie did a fabulous job housesitting with my three dogs. She sent me regular updates with pictures and videos and contacted me when she had questions. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I got home. Stephanie cleaned up after herself and kept my house as clean as I left it. I've already booked with Stephanie for a trip in November. My dogs told me she has to be their sitter forever.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing. We will 100% have her come stay in our home again. I knew I could trust her with my 3 cats and very shy dog. They all loved her. She sent me many photos which I loved. Quick to respond to my questions. Can’t say enough good about her!”

About: Dogs naturally gravitate toward me—I connect with them instantly, and that bond becomes the foundation of trust, play, and comfort. Whether we're running around playing or curled up for cuddle time, I treat every pup like family. I talk to them like they're another person in the room because, to me, they are—each with their own personality and needs. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a sweet senior, I provide the same level of love, attention, and calm, reassuring care so they feel safe and at home while you're away. While I’m currently working part-time (with a possible move to full-time), I specifically look for sitting opportunities near my job so I can spend more time with the dogs instead of commuting. Whether it’s a daily visit or weeklong stay, I treat every pup as if they were my own. Their needs—walks, playtime, attention, and love—are always a top priority. Knowing they feel cared for, comfortable, and seen while their people are away is what truly fills my heart. I care for dogs in their own home because staying in familiar surroundings can ease anxiety and help them feel more secure while their family is away. Before any stay, I like to meet with the family—including the pup!—to make sure everyone is comfortable and aligned. I go over the dog’s routine in detail: where they like to rest, when and where they go to the bathroom, their favorite toys, feeding times, and any house rules (like whether they’re allowed on the furniture). I also ask about their demeanor around other animals for walks, any treat preferences, and whether playdates are part of their routine. While I’m staying in your home, I always clean up after myself and your pets, and I do my best to leave your space in the same—or better—condition than I found it. I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, and handle basic upkeep related to the pets. However, I do not provide general house cleaning services. I am not responsible for cleaning dishes, scrubbing bathrooms, or tidying up messes that were present before my arrival. My focus is on providing loving, attentive care for your pets in a clean, respectful environment.
“We think Sloan is the best, and the pets love her even more! She took incredible care of the house, kept the herb garden alive in the sweltering Utah heat, and most importantly treated the pets like family. We got lots of updates, many adorable photos, and everyone was healthy and happy when we got home.”
“Hannah was outstanding with our Dog Cash. She was so cute with him and attentive. She communicates well and sent pictures throughout the evening. She will respond immediately ..not to mention our house was spotless when she left.”
“Carter did a great job taking care of my dog Thor. I got pictures every day along with updates. Also got a check in after dog sitting was done to make sure that everything was looking good in the house.”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING! This was our first time using rover and she made the process seamless. She kept us updated, sent pictures of our pets, and left our apartment clean and tidy. We will definitely try to book with her again next time we go out of town!”
“Great job caring for my two pups!”
“Aleya is great. She has watched our two senior dogs several times now and is always communicative and dependable. It’s so wonderful to return home from our trips to two dogs that have been so loved/snuggled and a home that has been kept clean.”
About: I am comfortable working with any size or temperament of dog and am happy to help with pets with medical conditions or other special needs. I am a medical student and have time at odd hours and weekends to help take care of your pets. I love to run and would be happy to exercise an active dog. I am a very neat and clean person and my attention to detail will make sure your pet is safe and has all of their needs met.

Amber K.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Amber Kosmas as a dog sitter and house sitter while I was on vacation in Greece, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Amber took care of my three beloved dogs—Aries, Chanel, and Nova—with exceptional skill and genuine affection. From the moment I met Amber, it was clear that she possesses a deep love for animals and a strong commitment to their well-being. She took the time to understand each of my dogs’ personalities, ensuring that their individual needs were met. Aries, who can be a bit shy, warmed up to her quickly, thanks to Amber's patient and gentle approach. Chanel, with her playful spirit, thrived under Amber's care, enjoying long walks and engaging playtime. Nova, the youngest and most energetic, was kept entertained and exercised, which was a relief to me as a pet owner. Throughout my trip, Amber provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Her communication was prompt and reassuring, making it clear that my dogs were in good hands. Not only did she maintain their routine, but she also went above and beyond to ensure they felt loved and comfortable in my absence. In addition to her outstanding care for my dogs, Amber treated my home with respect and consideration. She kept everything tidy and followed my instructions regarding house care diligently. Upon my return, I found my home in perfect order, which was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience. Overall, Amber Kosmas is a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter and house sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of pet care. I will certainly be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs, knowing that my dogs are safe and happy in her capable hands. Thank you, Amber, for your exceptional care and dedication!”
