“Dia was amazing with our 3 cats! She sent lots of updates and pictures and was very patient and kind with our elderly kitty who can be spicy and uncooperative. I would definitely book her again, and recommend her to friends!”


2. Shirley R.

“Shirley was perfect for our last minute booking! Our dog was very comfortable around her and she was extremely responsive. We can’t wait to use Shirley again!”


3. Stephen H.

“Steve was absolutely fantastic and professional. My wife and I were new to dog sitting and usually use a boarding service when we go away. Well we ran out of time due to Thanksgiving around the corner so we reached out on Rover to find an amazing person who absolutely set our mind at ease from the moment we shook hands. Thanks Steve…. And of coarse Brady thanks you as well!!!”

“I've known Mercedes her whole life, and one thing that's always stood out is her genuine love for animals. Whether it's dogs, cats, or more exotic pets, she has a natural way of connecting with them that’s both heartwarming and reassuring. Mercedes is incredibly responsible, attentive, and compassionate. I’ve seen firsthand how well she cares for pets—not just meeting their needs, but going the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If you're looking for someone who treats your furry family members like their own, you won’t find anyone better. I’d trust Mercedes with my pets any day, and I can confidently say your animals will be in excellent hands.”

About: Trust and relax while you’re away from your pup knowing he/she is being cared for by an experienced Dog Dad! I have a spacious fenced in back yard and open concept living space to make your dog feel right at home. Crates for overnight upon request or reasonable caution only. No kids or pets other than house trained dogs. Special arrangements can be made for dogs who need special care, please do not be afraid to voice cautionary measure needed to make your dog enjoy their stay here. Please provide enough dog food for your dogs to eat at least 1x per day. Try and bring their favorite food so they will eat it in the allotted time for breakfast and dinner as grazing is prohibited as a cautionary measure taken to deter food aggression. Dog treats and water will be provided as complimentary. Very organized and communicative. I have dogs of my own and they are all trained but very socialized. I wake up around 6am and primarily work from home allowing me to provide frequent care and supervision to our doggie guests. Mac, my youngest goes to the dog park 4-5 times per week. His favorite thing to do is play with other dogs. I have a huge backyard fenced in all grass with a 6 foot vinyl fence. Bh default, booked Pups do not leave the home during their stay unless I have an exclusive conversation with pet parents. If you want your pup to go to the dog park with Mac, you have to ask, otherwise for safety they will be bound to the living quarters of my home. I would prefer to offer services at my home rather than provide visits however I will offer that service around my boarding service. While they are at my home, all somewhat house trained dogs will have access to 2 guest bedrooms with queen sized beds and pillows or dog beds on the floors. Certain dogs will be crated overnight per parent request, otherwise will roam free. All dogs eat separately at pre determined 1/2 hour time blocks to deter any food aggression. All dogs will get at least 2 -3 treats/day and will always have access to water. If you have a dog who grazes, please provide their favorite foods so they eat when fed. If your dog has special needs please provide written instructions via text or letterhead at time of drop off.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting for years, with hands-on experience in walking, feeding, playing, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and have experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra patience and care. I treat every animal like family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my Monday–Friday routine. I’m flexible with timing for walks, feedings, or drop-ins. Weekend availability is possible and can be discussed. I care for pets by following their routine, giving them lots of love and attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I also take them to vet checkups if needed and keep their feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family.


11. Cierra T.

“Cierra went above and beyond and was flexible to changes that occurred with new animals in the home. She was reliable, a good communicator and the animals seemed to really like her via the photos. We will definitely have Cierra back pet sitting again.”


12. Katlyn B.

“Katlyn did a wonderful job with our babies. She was able to help us out on short notice, which was really appreciated. She seemed very knowledgeable about dealing with many different dog personalities and did really well dealing with Dakota, who is skittish around new people. I would definitely recommend Katlyn to watch your pets.”


13. Jackie T.

“Needed a last minute pop in visit and Jackie responded promptly and made sure my pets were all taken care of in a jiffy!! Appreciate it so much!”

About: I have had a bunch of animals and also watched some friends animals while they were away on a trip. I take the pets on a walk and get some exercise morning and evening theres always toys for the dogs who can have toys. Feeding times are always around the same time. I have a fenced in yard that is huge where dogs can run around and play with some toys and exercise. Potty hours are whenever needed I'm outside a lot to water flowers and swim and always bring my dog out to play outside while I'm out. I always make sure there is water available its been so hot lately they need it. Treats are also good for doing something good or even when training. I have a lot of free time and love to spend time with my own pets. My schedule is very open all day every day. I feed my dogs twice a day I also walk them twice a day sometimes even three times if it’s cool outside. They always have fresh water and toys.


18. Kristen W.

“Kristen took care of our babies while we were out of the country, she communicated very well throughout and was punctual. Everything I asked of her she did perfectly! She kept our cats fed and happy while we were gone, will definitely book her again!”


19. Sabrina L.

“Sabrina is a rare soul that cares for animals as if they were her own. I have a special needs lab and trust her to care for her when I can’t be there. I’m so appreciative of her professionalism, communication and the care she provides my sweet girl. 6 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”


20. Robert M.

“I needed a dog sitter for a couple of hours and reached out to Rob. He responded quickly and was very courteous. I felt comfortable leaving my sweet girl in his care. She also appeared to be comfortable with Rob. I initially selected Rob because his profile stated that he was a dog trainer. I hope to have some training sessions in the near future. I'm so happy that I found a caring sitter that is very knowledgeable about dogs! Rob will be my go-to sitter from now on.”
