“I cannot recommend Savannah enough! She kindly took my request last minute and was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Romeo. She spent so much time playing with him and really went above and beyond to make sure he was happy while I was away. I loved that she sent me daily pictures and updates—it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Truly grateful for how attentive and thoughtful she was!”
“I went looking for a Rover sitter very early in the morning and she had already updated when she was available. That alone convinced me to book her. The meet and greet went well and I knew that she would take great care of my babies. She is simply the best. My "vampire kitty" looked well cared for in the pictures she sent me. Next time I need a sitter, Mya will be my choice.”
“Alicia was absolutely amazing, and I will definitely be using her again in the future! She provided drop-in visits for my dog throughout the day and exceeded my expectations in every way. Her communication was excellent from start to finish. She kept me updated during each visit and sent plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, she took the time to make my dog feel comfortable and cared for, and it was clear from the photos and updates that my dog was happy and well looked after. You can truly tell that Alicia is passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about the pets in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.”
“Mary Kay was wonderful with my service dog Sunshine and his many “rules.” She was personable and kind, and he took to her instantly. I will definitely be having her back with Sunshine soon!”
About: Over the course of my life I’ve owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and multiple different types of reptiles. Currently my family has two dogs, a cat, and a bearded dragon that I care for. I have worked at a vet clinic, and gained a lot of experience with animals. I am currently playing college soccer and studying biology with a concentration in pre-vet. I’m home from college for the summer so I have a lot of extra free time that I’m hoping to fill. Plus my job right now is very flexible. The last time I pet sat at someone’s house, the dogs had a fenced in yard with a doggy door, so I didn’t have to do much other than feed them, make sure everything was right in the house, and give them attention. With my own dogs I have experience giving them meds, walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and training them to do tricks.
“This was the first time we had Gillian take care of our dogs and she did a great job. The dogs were fed and medicated on time and played with, which is very important as one of our dogs has severe separation anxiety.”

Lizzy is AMAZING!! I myself have been a Rover Sitter and my expectations were high and she BLEW THEM OUT OF THE WATER. My puppies are high energy and we were still waiting for our fence to be built so I was nervous but they could NOT have been happier and so many pets and love. I felt at ease and for the first time on vacation relaxed!!! Lizzy is wonderful and you and your pets deserve to enjoy your time!!!
Alyssa was great - as always. She comes about every two months for 4-5 days - and my new (growing) kittens really love her. I appreciate that she sits with them for some time after she takes care of their food, water and litter box. They totally love her - and waller all over her! 🥰
Kelly it did an amazing job I have two senior pets that she cared for and she was amazing with both of them she thought to water my plants before I even mentioned it. She brought her little boy which absolutely make my dog the happiest boy in the world 💓 would definitely recommend.
Cathryn and Jarrod were awesome! They dropped in to hang out with our dog Ravioli and made everything super easy. They were on time, sent updates, and gave Ravioli tons of love and attention. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for better sitters. Definitely recommend them and will book again! 🐾
