“Haley was great! Responsible, frequent updates, great pictures and we could tell our 2 boys were loved and will cared for. We will definitely use her again if available for our next trip. Highly recommended!”

“Kara was kind and sweet with Macy. Super easy to work with, sent updates without me even having to ask, and clearly cared. Macy is on the tail end of life, and having someone like Kara give her love dampens the blow if being gone.”

“Miss Hettie did a terrific job caring for our two kitty cats! Very happy we were able to book her. She went over and above what was expected. So grateful for her outstanding service. We know who we'll call on next time we go on another trip. Thank you, Hettie!”

“Kimberly came to our apartment for drop-in checkups on my two cats for two weeks. She did a great job communicating and making sure the cats and apartment were well taken care of. She also showed that she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure they got everything they needed if necessary. We really appreciated her help and would hire her again for future help!”

“Amanda was so great! Luna doesn’t like to eat while we are gone and Amanda noticed and gave her some chicken and rice I left in the fridge. Thank you. I would definitely use her again.”


“Kaylee did a wonderful job for the weekend for us. Giving our cats attention, monitoring mail and package delivery , as well as watering plants that needed it. Glad she was available to care for the cats at the last minute.”


About: I'm open to taking care of most animals, and I absolutely adore cats and dogs. I have multiple animals myself, and my family has always kept dogs. My mother and father would often go on business trips, so I would be left to take care of our three dogs and our cat. I am familiar with tending to diet restrictions, since one of our dogs had an allergy to average kibble. I also have animal shelter volunteer experience with the Davis animal shelter, where I would walk dogs of all temperaments. If your dog is a leash puller, then have no worries, since I have plenty experience with that from volunteering. I am currently a senior in high-school looking for ways to save up for college! I am avaliable after 3pm every weekday, and I am usually available on weekends. If your fur baby needs overnight care on weekends, I am open to doing so! I am familiar with kennels, crates, and outdoor as well as indoor dogs and cats. As long as you tell me what schedule you would like me to keep with you pet, I will be able to do it!
About: I have cared for many friends, family, and co-workers' pets over the years. I love animals (even bugs, lizards, and birds) and am always willing to keep them safe and from being lonely. I work full time and can do so remotely. If I need to check on a pet during the week, I can fit it in to the days I don't have to be in the office. Please message me the date and time needed, and I will check my calendar. I am unable to care for pets in my own home. But if your pooch is friendly and wants to run with mine at the dog park, or just go for a nice enrichment filled walk, I can do that with ease. I can even take your dog solo if they prefer not to be social.
About: Hi! I’m a newlywed who loves dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have lots of experience caring for multiple dogs both in my home and in clients’ homes, and I treat every pup like they’re part of the family. I know routines, reading cues, and giving calm, loving attention makes pets feel happy and safe while you’re away. I also work with kids, so I totally get that your pets are like your little ones! I work around 25 hours a week, which means I have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and spoil your pups. My apartment doesn’t allow pets, but I would be so excited to spend time with yours at home or out on a fun walk! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets happy and active throughout the day. I love bringing fun, energy, and consistency into each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine so they feel comfy and relaxed. We’ll enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love in their favorite space. I keep things fun, calm, and consistent while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I take very good care of any and all animals! I do my best to put their needs first!l even after a long day of work! I work mornings until 3pm monday through friday. I am available weekends all day! I take my dog out in the morning and take her to a dog park every couple of days! As far as services, I am very careful and follow directions given. I want the best for my pets and i would expect to do the same for others!
“Lexi was absolutely amazing with my fluffy bumpkins! She visited her every day and gave her all the love and attention. When we returned from our cruise, our kitty cat was safe, fed, and happy. We really loved the personalized update some photos that Lexi would send to us. Will absolutely use her again in the future. She’s an excellent pet sitter!”

“We had to rush out of town and they immediately responded and did a great job as usual! Even in an emergency situation they responded with genuine care and immediate response! Wrote down great instructions for new meds for one of our pups and went above and so far beyond to ensure he was cared for. If we can help it, we will always contact them to take care of our beloved pets, they are truly amazing and ridiculously caring people and we adore them!”

“Brooke had great communication during drop in visits for our kitty! She was also patient with our shy guy and allowed him time to come out and investigate on his own. We knew our kitty was in great hands while we were out of town!”

“Lyric was great! We booked last minute and she was able to come meet the dogs and cats the same day we booked. She was flexible and dependable! We will definitely be using her again next time we need a Rover!”


About: Hi there! 🙋🏼♀️ My name is Makenna and I am an animal lover at heart! I just came across this app looking for a sitter for our sweet pup Oaklee (she’s a golden doodle) and I thought it would be so fun to watch other dogs when I can! My family has had animals since I was young so I am 100% comfortable with any of your pets’ needs. If your dog should stay with us, we are happy to take him/her on walks or runs and take him/her outside as much as they need! I have two little kids under the age of five so as long as your dog is good around kids and our dog we will all have a fun time together. 🥰 I’m currently working part time and I don’t work long shifts. My kiddos and dog and I love to spend time playing outside in our yard and going on walks. I have a fenced yard and am very attentive. If we are not actively playing, your pets will be inside with us and either kenneled if that’s your preference or in the same space/room we are!
“Kianna took care of our zoo that included a very large and goofy golden doodle. Although shy and skittish he fell in love with her and survived us being gone beautifully. Highly recommend!”

“As expected Ariah did a fantastic job checking on the pups and getting them exercise. She was detailed in her updates and sent plenty of pictures, Ariah communicated incredibly well.”
