“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Nick is the very best! Ellie and Theo love him! I know they are in very good hands when Nick comes to stay with them. He takes care of every detail on my (very extensive 😜) list of instructions. He sends daily updates with pictures to keep us up to date on how everything is going. I am normally very nervous to leave my dogs in anyone’s care, but I don’t worry when Nick is in charge. Thank you for another wonderful stay! We will see you again soon!”


“Devona was amazing! She took such good care of our giant baby (even when our dog wouldn't come in at first due to "stranger danger" ?). She was very communicative and sent multiple pictures. Our home was well cared for and she left it clean and tidy. We will absolutely use her again.”


“Susan, was not only so compassionate and but so knowledgeable about what my dog was going through after her surgery which she had a few days before our time with her. She immediately greeted my dogs and my daughter as if they were part of her family, they were all obsessed with her amazing energy (and of course so are we)! She made us feel so comfortable and gave us such a peace of mind when it was time to leave our dogs and visit Disney for the day! It just felt like we had known her for years and it was so refreshing not to worry about them all day at Disney! She took so much stress off of our plates and made the whole visit, so special! I will be asking for Susan as soon as we go back and visit Disney! Wished she lived near us, so we could have her watch our dogs for every trip! You will definitely not be disappointed if you have Susan come watch your animals! Thank you so much Susan for being you! We just love you so very much!!!”


“Austin was a great house/dog sitter for Cody and Chase! He was extremely responsive, respectful of the house, took great care of the dogs, and kept us updated with photos. We really appreciate having someone we can trust, and we'll definitely be booking with Austin again!”


“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”


“We are so grateful for Adriana! She took such wonderful care of our pup, Blue, while we were away. He can be a bit stubborn and high-maintenance at times, but Adriana handled everything with so much patience, love, and attention to detail. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Blue felt comfortable and cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would highly recommend Adriana to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you again, Adriana—you’re the best! 💙🐾”


“Alinna was great. She sent pics of Daphne multiple times a day and kept me updated on her eating and if she was okay. Alinna played fetch with her and kept her comfy cozy on the couch. Also, she went above and beyond and tidied up my apartment and washed the linens! Would book again!!”



“Taylor was wonderful with my pups. Sending me updates & pictures. She was so flexible with us & our plans. My pups loved her & her cuddles. My little pup is scared of thunder and she comforted him and snuggled him to help him through the brief storm. I can’t say enough good things about her. My grand pup was with us this time and he has anxiety issues and she was able to keep him calm & happy . Thank You Taylor for such a great experience.”


About: Let me take care of your fur babies for the weekend, the week, the day or whatever your needs are for your fur babe(s). I'm extremely attentive and thoughtful with my own and will be for yours, too. Ridiculously reliable, count on me! Cat, dog, chicken, fish, ferret, bird, snake and a little bit of horse experience. I've even taken care of a client's tarantula. Senior dog specialist but can also handle the puppy energy and lots of walkies. They all bring me happiness and love each experience and want your baby to enjoy my visits and care for them, too. I am available most weekends so you can go do human fun things with no worries. Your sweet fur kids will be my first priority! I will soon be available all week long, too. Can do visits and/or overnights. My spouse and fellow fur parent is working from home full-time which allows me even more flexibility to serve you and your babes. After first meeting with you and your pets, I will always follow all of your instructions on their care inside and outside of your home. There may be opportunity to care for your pets in my home with our menagerie if it all fits. Almost two acres with fenced back yard.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! Both sitters were incredibly attentive, loving, and thoughtful throughout their stay. They went above and beyond to make sure my pups were comfortable and happy, and I came home to a spotless house. It’s such a relief to know my dogs are in such capable and caring hands. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate pet sitters!”


“Such a great sitter! She took great care of my dog, keeping me updated with pictures and texts throughout the sitting. I can tell my dog had a great time with her. Thanks so much, Maks!”


About: What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and experience with all kinds of dogs. I take the time to build trust, provide regular updates, and adjust my approach to each pet’s needs. I'm active and engaged, always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I’d gladly take care of your doggie any day except Sundays and Tuesdays, but I’m happy to work around your schedule the rest of the week! I follow your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure in their own home or mine. I provide love, care, and attention, keeping the space tidy while offering regular updates so you’re always in the loop. Additionally, my spacious fenced in yard and screened patio area are great for pups who love the outdoors!

“The moment we met Danielle, we felt immediately trustworthy and comfortable with her spending the night in our home, taking care of our fur babies. If I highly recommend anyone, it would be her. So thankful to come across someone so knowledgable and kind!”


About: I grew up in a house with both cats and dogs where everyone got along great! Once I moved out of the house I adopted my first rescue dog and have had dogs as pets ever since. Currently fostering dogs for Orange County Animal Services and have helped them get several dogs adopted into forever homes. I have regularly helped friends with dogsitting and housesitting while they are away from home, and have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Currently working part time, from home, so my schedule is very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. Mornings or afternoons I'm available for pet play dates or walking. Trusting our pets with someone else is a big step, so I take their safety and security very seriously. When walking a dog I'm always cautious about traffic, strangers, or other pets that have been let off leash. Building trust with your pet is the best way to keep them safe so they can see you again soon!

“Connor took wonderful care of our two dogs, one of whom is very high-need. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs who had had lots of exercise and attention, and a very tidy house! I appreciate Connor’s experience with foster dogs as he was comfortable with our nervous, anxious pup, and his attention to detail, like noticing a plant that desperately needed water! I highly recommend Connor.”


“Thank you for caring so well for my fur babies. They were very happy when I returned. I also truly appreciate how clean you left my house making my return home less stressful. Thanks again!”

Kris P.
“My daughter, Kristin, has had a love for animals since she was a little girl. She is now momma to 5 dogs and 2 cats and they are her fur babies. All are rescues. Several weeks ago 13 year old Tucker, a Cheweenie, required surgery. After Tucker was back home, she sent me a photo with Tucker cradled in her arms. It is so Kris. Despite work, she devotes many weekends as a volunteer for “Wednesdayscommunitycats”. In addition she personally helps feed the feral Courthouse cats and is available for pet sitting when needed. God has given her a huge heart for animals and I am delighted to recommend her for Rover. Kathy Fox”
