“Kali is amazing with our German Shepherd! She not only arrives on time, but is also very flexible — we really appreciated that she even arrived earlier upon a last-minute request. She prioritizes his care by taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first thing, practicing his commands, and following his schedule promptly. She keeps me informed throughout the day with important updates, which I truly appreciate. She also picks up all of his toys and makes sure our home is clean and tidy every time — I always come home to everything looking nice and clean. She is absolutely the best you can have caring for your puppy. We truly appreciate you, Kali! 🩵”

“Ana stayed overnight with our 3 pups for 3 days and we are so appreciative of her services. She took great care of our busy Aussiedoodles and our senior pup! She respected our house and even offered to wash her sheets. She far exceeded all expectations! Our pups & house were in great hands. She was so attentive to our pups individualized needs. She sent frequent updates & pictures/videos. Our girls just love her! We are 100% comfortable with leaving our pups & house in her hands. She is such a nice caring woman. We highly recommend Ana & would not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Rhoda is such a kind and reliable sitter! She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pup was well cared for and I will continue booking with her.”

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment and always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents through regular updates and photos. Pet care fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins to ensure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m home often and able to be flexible, which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and routine they need to feel comfortable and at home. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine with feedings, walks, playtime, and affection. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and comfort in both my home and clients homes, and I always provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: I got my first pet in middle school and have cared for animals ever since… dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and even rats. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly rely on me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m very attentive to routines, personalities, and comfort levels, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or a little sassy, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I balance work and school, but pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m available most weekdays before 10am and after 6pm, with the ability to do check-ins throughout the day as needed. My weekends are very flexible, so I can accommodate longer visits, walks, or drop-ins to match your pet’s normal schedule and keep their routine consistent. I’ve had my dog for going on 8 years and my handsome kitty for 3, and they truly are my babies. Caring for them daily has taught me how important routine, patience, and attention are for pets to feel safe and happy. I treat every animal I watch with that same level of love, care, and responsibility, like they’re part of my own family.
“This was out first time using Abigail and she was great. Our dogs were so well taken care of and loved. Our home was left just as clean as when she got here, which is a huge bonus. We will use her again for sure.”
“Lindsay was amazing and so sweet! Very punctual and great with communication while I was gone. She provided daily updates and photos and my pup was so comfortable with her. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Charlotte was amazing while staying with our beagles for 5 days. She sent updates and photos everyday and was very quick to reply. She seemed to care a lot about the happiness of the pup. We can’t wait to use her again!”

“Kaitlyn recently stayed overnight with our pup Gemma while we were away for an extended weekend. From the initial booking she was very proactive and professional, suggesting and scheduling a "meet and greet" in advance of us leaving town. While she was here, she gave frequent updates, sent pictures and was understanding of our dogs' special needs and medication routine. Our pup has big reactions with other dogs and needs quiet walks. Kaitlyn took her for car rides (including pup cups), walked her in new areas, provided play time and also extensive cuddle time. As an unexpected bonus, the house was immaculate when we returned, including towels, sheet/blankets washed, floors vacuumed, and soothing music playing for Gemma. We will definitely have Kaitlyn come back for our next trip away!”
“Summer was amazing and made herself available short-noticed. We were travelling to saint Augustine with our Husky Luna and needed someone reliable and caring to keep her company and Summer fully delivered that! We are very happy with her and were able to enjoy our weekend stress-free.”

“Yvette was just terrific with Bernie and Zorro and we have engaged her for our next trip. She was conscientious about taking them out for their walks and kept them happy during our 11 day absence. We can recommend her highly.”

“Laura was absolutely fantastic! We had never left our dog before and were pretty nervous since she’s a rescue and can be shy. Laura was amazing! She won Lilly over quickly and kept us updated the whole time with lots of messages and photos. We felt so at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We would book with her again in a heartbeat! Truly so thankful for her and highly recommend her!!”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, as I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up. I have 5 years of professional pet sitting experience and am skilled in puppy training basics (housebreaking, crate training, basic commands). I love working with shy or fearful pets and have endless patience helping them come out of their shells. My clients say I have a natural gift for reading animal body language and making pets feel safe and loved. I work part-time as a grader, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your cats. I can accommodate morning, midday, evening, or overnight visits, whatever works best for your pet's routine. My remote work setup means I'm often home and can provide extended visit times or last-minute care when you need it. I'm also available on weekends and holidays when finding reliable care can be challenging. I offer flexible care options depending on your pet's needs and your preferences. Whether visiting once daily or staying overnight, I prioritize your cat's comfort by maintaining their exact routine in the familiar environment of your home. I'm conscientious about home security, keeping doors locked, preventing escapes, and never advertising my or your absence. I'm also respectful of your space, keeping everything clean and following any household guidelines you provide. Daily updates with photos give you peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up in Brazil, my family had a camp house with over ten dogs, and I was always helping to feed, bathe, and care for them. During COVID, I fostered a mom dog who gave birth in my garage and cared for her and her puppies until they were healthy and ready for adoption. I’ve also helped foster dogs that couldn’t stay at crowded shelters and have completed community service hours at animal shelters, where I helped clean, care for dogs, and give them love and company. On top of that, I’ve dog-sat for neighbors and family members multiple times, staying with their pets while they were away. Taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like my own. Mornings and nights work perfectly for me every day of the week, including weekends! I love starting my day with walks and ending it with some relaxing playtime or cuddles. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I have class from 12:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m., but I’m fully available before and after those times. I’m very flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine! When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I’m very loving, patient, and attentive to every detail — from feeding routines to their favorite walking routes. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment, keeping communication open with owners through updates and photos. You can trust that your pet will be in caring, responsible hands, receiving plenty of love, attention, and consistency while you’re away.

Ana was amazing with my dog. My dog is very wary of new people and hadn’t had a Pet Sitter stay with him in many years. But he was recovering from knee surgery so needed to stay home with someone. Ana was very patient and really took the time to learn his personality and very quickly they got along great. Ana was extremely communicative with me and my dog very quickly trusted her. Ana has a lot of experience with all types of dogs, and she used that knowledge to care for mine. She also stayed in my home and was very respectful and even washed all the bedding! I highly recommend Ana and I would definitely use her again.

Gloria did an amazing job house sitting for us. She took good care of our dane, Breeze, and kept an eye on our two cats. She was very reliable, which is exactly the quality we were seeking in somebody who watches our pets. Will definitely book with Gloria again in the future. Highly recommend!

This was the first experience with Rover. After our first scheduled in house sitter cancelled we were upset since our trip was a bit over a week before our trip. Rover reached out stating they wanted to help us. Long story short we then met Catherine with Rovers help. So, things worked out for the best!! Catherine is great!!! My Bella had LOTS of attention. Very sweet and we hope she will be available to take care of Bella again!

Marie always goes above and beyond for our elder pups! When we come home after she’s taken care of them, the pups are happy, healthy, and the house is always clean. Our pups have health issues and we don’t worry at all when she’s with them. She sends us regular updates and makes all of us feel comfortable. She’s the best!
