Dorian was beyond Great!! He went above and beyond in his caring for our fur babies, Mr Wilson (basset hound) and Squeaks our cat. All I can say is Dorian exceeded our expectations on every Level! Rover was actually a "Vacation Saver" since our family member backed out of caring for our pets at the last minute. I will book Dorian again and recommend him and Rover to anyone who needs pet care. Book Dorian, you will be so happy you found him!

About: I have cared for family, personal and neighborhood pets for the last 15+ years! I have experience with both dogs and cats will all kinds of temperaments. I grew up with a lab and two cats and currently have a 4.5 year old golden retriever :) I am currently in-between jobs, so I have an abundance of time to dedicate to your pets! I am extremely flexible with early mornings and late evenings. I am there for whatever your pet needs! I have put my dog through in-home training, so I feel I can accommodate the different needs of different animals. I feel confident walking dogs of all sizes, and can easily crate a pup if need be. I will send lots of photos and updates of your furry friends!

Bekah was a star sitter!! The best we've had so far. You could tell she really cared for Diesel and spent her time playing with him and giving him so much love during her visit. She followed everything I had asked her to do & more. She cleaned up after Diesel and made sure he had everything he needed. She locked up afterwards and made sure Diesel was set before leaving. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Hoping to hire her again!

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats in my house since I was a kid. And ever since middle school, pet sitting has been my favorite side hustle. I have cared for cats and dogs, big and small old and young, and those that have had extra dietary/medication needs. I have worked with difficult pets and I’m happy to play and be patient with pets that need extra love and attention. I am currently a medical student and my classes usually run for only half the day. My afternoons and evenings are generally flexible and, and I’m open to coming by in the morning before classes would start or afterwards for a mid day-afternoon visit. I can accommodate whatever needs you and your pet may have depending on your home. I have no problem crating pets if needed. Please don’t hesitate to ask or specify any needs you may have.

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Oakley. She was reliable, communicative, sent great updates/photos, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Oak can be high energy and she handled him perfectly. It gave me a ton of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.
