“Kat took amazing care of our buddy, and we appreciate her so much!! We loved all the pics and Kat was very consistent with providing updates on how he was doing. We feel safe and confident in working with Kat!”


“Kim is truly one of a kind. She watched our sweet girl while we were out of town, and to say she went above and beyond would be an understatement. Our dog has a seizure disorder and follows a strict medication schedule—not exactly easy care. But Kim handled everything with total confidence and care, allowing us to relax knowing Coco was in the best hands. During our trip, Coco had some stomach, upset which is not uncommon for her, and Kim responded with such grace and compassion. She not only cleaned everything thoroughly, but gave us many updates on how Coco was feeling. We certainly did not expect Kim to clean up at the level that she did and we are forever grateful. On top of everything, Kim took the initiative to wash all the bedsheets and towels and somehow managed to leave our home spotless, even better than we left it. What touched us most was the compassion behind everything she did while taking care of Coco. On top of it all, she gifted us a breathtaking hand-drawn sketch of our beloved girl. It brought tears to our eyes—so much love captured in every line. That drawing, and Kim’s kindness will stay with us forever. Thank you, Kim!!!”


“Emily was great with our two pups. They’re usually uneasy around new people, but she took the time to earn their trust and made them feel comfortable. She arrived on time for every visit, communicated clearly, and sent thoughtful updates with photos that really put us at ease. As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous, but Emily made the whole experience feel easy and reassuring. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs — we look forward to booking with her again!”


“Yessica was excellent! She was punctual, polite, experienced and our dog loved her. He’s not easily accepting, but he really took to her. She sent pics daily and kept us up to date during the visit. We highly recommend.”


“AMAZING!!! I just got a new pup only 9 weeks old and we have been attached at the hip. I had to go to an office lunch and was in such a stress to find him someone good. After being cancelled on I found Daniela. I knew off the bat she was a dog lover because she didn’t mind my little Harlows kisses ! She was truly great and I felt so relieved. She sent tons of feedback and pictures and even waited for me as I was running late. 100%%% recommendable. Thank you daniela!”


“Michelle was amazing! I left Mylo our 1 year old puppy and Hamilton our 9 year old Frenchie who needed to be hand fed and Mylo is a handful and she went above and beyond! She even adjusted her Thanksgiving plans a bit in order to accommodate us! She is a star in our book!”

I can spend as long or as little as needed with ur animal. I like to play with my cat and cuddle with him and i only give him the best quality food.

“Randy did a great job of taking care of our Golden, Bertie. It was Bertie’s first time with a sitter or dog walker and she was well taken care of Thanks Randy. We will rebook soon.”


“Sarah was amazing! Great communication, super professional, and took excellent care of our pup. She was also flexible and gracious about scheduling. Would definitely recommend her, and she's the top of our list next time we travel.”


About: I’m comfortable administering any ointments/cream or oral medications. I’ve dealt with sick animals when I was young and am not afraid to get my hands dirty! I’m currently waiting for the fall semester to start up, so my schedule is basically all free. Aside from volunteering once a week at the hospital. By staying vigilant, constantly with the pets, never really leaving them out of my sight. I’d make sure they were well fed and offered plenty of love.

“Julian did a great job taking care of Blossom! He offered to do a pre-visit to get a sense of the place and understand Blossom's needs prior to house sitting, offered updates, and helped ensure coordination with another sitter to ensure that she had care for my full trip!”

Alexya G.
“Alexya has been sitting for my 2 dogs for the last 5 years and now we have added a 3rd dog to the mix in the last 2 years. She is reliable, dependable and trustworthy. She also adapts to each of my dog's needs. Gratefully, she is also experienced in medications. One of my dogs has cushings disease and Alexya gives her a series of meds throughout the day. Alexya genuinely loves dogs and it is evident by her demeanor towards them and I love her "can do" attitude when she sees my long list of "musts." I trust my dogs when they are affectionate towards her (they run, jump and lick her). Happy customer!”
