“Jennifer did a great job pet sitting and letting our 4 dogs out for potty breaks during the day. We came home to happy pups and our home the way we left it. Thank you for caring for our fur babies while we were out of town!”

“Absolutely loved Kerri! She did an amazing job with our two pups. Showed so much love. And always made sure she sent pics! She took amazing care of our pups and home. Def consider her part of our family! Thanks again!”

“Delaney watched my dog, Roxie, while we went away for about five days. She did a great job in communicating. Roxie was well taken care of, was happy and had a full bowl of water when we got home. I will definitely ask Delaney to watch my dog again in the future.”


“This was the 2nd time Melisha watched our fur babies & our house while we were out of town, and just like the first time, she did an amazing job! She was super attentive & kept in touch with us multiple times throughout each day. She also sent pics of our dog & cat every time she communicated. She also handled a situation between our dog and an unexpected groundhog in the yard, like a champ. I would definitely recommend Melisha. She truly is a pro with regard to pet sitting!”

“Lindsay stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town. She watched our fur babies like they're her own. Will definitely use her services again - actually, we already have her booked for an October trip we're taking!”

“Micah was such a gem to find! He was thorough in his care for my animals which is not easy as my boxer has a myriad of health and anxiety issues. He provided updates and asked questions when needed. Do not hesitate to book Micah, he is a fine gentleman who will care for your animals like his own. I will not hesitate to reach back out myself!”

About: I’ve dog sat for a few family friends and absolutely loved it! I love animals (especially dogs) and would be happy to care for your doggo. I currently work part time but I set my own hours! So evenings or early mornings could definitely work out for me. I also am a college student starting back up in the fall semester of 2025 but my schedule is very flexible. I don’t think I would be able to care for your pets in my current living situation but would be happy to come to you when needed! I love walking and I’d be thrilled to bring a friend along with me (your dog).
“I know I can leave my pets in their hands whenever we need to get away! We always come home to happy pets and they're great at communication, too. I never need to worry!”

“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot express enough gratitude for Crystal! This was my first time using Rover, and I was incredibly anxious about leaving my dog, Money, who struggles with severe separation anxiety. Crystal stepped in last minute and provided the most loving and attentive care I could have hoped for. She was patient, understanding, and went above and beyond to make sure Money felt safe and comfortable. I truly felt at ease knowing he was in such great hands. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pet as if they were her own, look no further—Crystal is amazing! I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”


“Emily provided excellent overnight care for our dog. She sent videos and checked in throughout her stay at our house. We will continue to have her dog sit for us and would highly recommend her to others!”

“Chelsea was an absolutely wonderful sitter to our dog and three cats! Our dog is anxious and reactive and from our meet and greet to the actual day of sitting, Chelsea respected his space, followed all of our instructions, and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She also was great with our cats that all warmed up to her so quickly. We are so grateful to Chelsea for the updates she gave us, as we were actually able to enjoy our weekend knowing our pets were in good hands. Will definitely be hiring Chelsea in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. We have always had 2 dogs, a cat and a chinchilla. I also grew up watching my neighbors and families pets as a teenager. I more recently within the last 2 years have started more seriously watching a family friends dogs. There is 3 of them of all different sizes so I have gotten used to dealing with many pets at once! My schedule is pretty flexible. I work part time and my shifts vary week by week but they are usually between 6-8 hours long, maybe 3 times a week. Currently I have class on Fridays from 8-3, but other than that am very open. I take a lot of classes online so I can make them work around other things. I don’t do pet care at my house but I am more than happy to come to yours and stay for however long you need. If you have a fenced in yard or are ok with your pet being taken out on a leash that would be preferred.
About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.
“Taylor did a great job. One of our dogs recently got diagnosed with a seizure condition and she managed his medication schedule perfectly while we were away. I was very nervous to be leaving so soon after but knowing she was at the house with them made it easier to be away. She communicated with me the whole time. Asked for clarification on some of my directions, which I appreciated her being so careful! Our dogs are very used to our schedule and how I do things around the house. I’m sure to an outsider they might be a bit much. But I came home to three happy pets and a well looked after house. Thank you so much Taylor!”

“Amelia was friendly and seemed very comfortable around my dogs. She was communicative and responsible. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

“Once again, Taylor did an amazing job taking care of our dog. It felt great to be away and feel confident that he was in good hands. And she sends THE best update photos. We'll definitely come back to Taylor again.”

“Holly was so attentive to both our dog’s needs while she stayed with them for the better part of a week. We don’t leave our dogs often but we could tell they were so loved by Holly. Our dogs have some funny nuances that make them “special” such as e-collar use, past crate anxiety, and oral and topical medication, so we were very specific about their needs. Holly checked in with us several times to let us know they were thriving and whenever she had a question regarding their care. We absolutely plan to hire her again. Thanks Holly!”
