“We haven’t gone on a trip in years- with an older dog recovering from some back issues- Aivy sent pictures and updates- I felt they were in good hands! I wasn’t worried once that they didn’t get the attention that they wanted”

“5 Stars – Excellent Care from Jose! We had a fantastic experience with Jose through Rover! From the start, he was friendly, professional, and clearly experienced with animals. Our dog felt comfortable with him right away, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Jose kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which we really appreciated. It was obvious he truly cared and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. When we returned, our pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for Jose’s kindness and reliability — we’ll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

“Isabelle is a wonderful dog sitter! She took such good care of Einstein, making sure he was well-fed, and loved while we were away. She is caring, and truly has a way with dogs. We felt completely at ease knowing our baby was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds! I’m comfortable giving medicine to both dogs and cats, cleaning litter boxes, and taking them on long walks. I love getting pictures of my pup when he’s with someone else so I’ll be sure to send you pictures of your fur baby! I’m currently in grad school and I’m free afternoons/nights during the week for walks or meals and weekends for all day visits! I take lots of walks to get breaks from studying and I’d love to have your pet join me! I’m comfortable with harnesses and leashes for walks around neighborhoods or apartment complexes as well as with playtime at dog parks. I can hang out for meals before or after walks, play, and give lots of pets.
About: We have many years of working and living with dogs and cats. We work as a team and will always put the care of your 4-legged family members first. From hyper young pups who need some help training to old dogs who are on the lazy side, we have seen it all! Alix works from home and has a flexible schedule. While Ryan does work in an office, but has the flexibility to meet the needs of your household. We can split our time so that your pet gets the same amount of love and attention that our own pets get. We have 4 dogs and 2 cats in our home. We are training our puppy bullmastiff who is active and requires training, while continuing to work with and love on our lazy French Bulldogs and aging lab/American dingo mix. Our care for our own pets extends to our clients! It's the Golden Rule: we will treat your pets the way we would want you to treat ours!
“I can't say enough good things about Dasia. Finding someone to watch my fur babies is always stressful, but she immediately put me at ease. My dogs absolutely love her and I came home to happy and relaxed pups. Dasia is super reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile. I got regular updates and pictures, which made me feel so much better while I was away. It's clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and I trust her completely. If you're looking for a fantastic dog sitter, look no further than Dasia!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was little! I grew up taking care of dogs, both small and large. I now have two cats that I rescued; one of them was found when he was so young that I bottle-fed him for the first few weeks! I love animals, no matter the size or energy levels. I'll run around and play with high-energy pets as much as their hearts desire! Your furry family members will be well taken care of. I work and am a part-time student (studying to be a veterinarian, yay!), so my availability will be mostly evenings from 5:30 PM to 9 PM. However, please don't be afraid to reach out if the service you need doesn't perfectly fit within that block of time- I'm happy to try and work with you on timings! I will be free all weekend as well! I've taken care of a lot of different animals over the years, so I've had the opportunity to see how different pets have different needs. As I've mentioned before, my own cats have been very high-maintenance during certain parts of their lives. Because of this, I will take detailed notes on anything that needs to be done- when and how to feed your furry friends, potty times, bed times, favorite toys, etc. I'll make sure to do everything exactly as your pets are used to, and you'll get constant updates and pictures with how they're doing and what they're up to!
“Manda took such good care of our dog. She sent lots of pictures and videos. The communication was prompt and she was also so respectful of our house. I would definitely trust her to watch our boy again!”


“Tanja took great care of Lexi! She was very good at updating me and sending photos which gave me piece of mind. She was super reliable and we are planning to request to book her again for a longer vacation this summer.”

About: I have had a heart for the four legged friends since I could walk. From a round of tug of war to running around the backyard to cuddling on the couch, it brings me joy to make animals feel loved. I am a teacher so I do have a teacher schedule throughout the week but I am home earlier most days (by 3:30 or 4:00). Your pet is free to lounge freely in the house while we are gone unless you have crate trained them and would like them put in their crates. We have a large house with no carpet and tile/wood throughout in case of any accidents. We do have a small dog (who can lounge with your furry friend and who is also crate trained) as well as a cat-who minds her own business most of the time. Our children LOVE dogs and are great at playing and helping your furry friend get lots of exercise. We have a fully fenced years and a sliding glass door. Crates during the day or lounging around the house is completely up to you. We have a cat who minds her own business and doesn’t mind dogs. Our dog Sherlock is the friendliest most playful little terrier who just loves making friends with everyone!
“Kayleigh did an excellent job house sitting and watching all of our pets for us. We had a last minute family emergency come up and needed to find someone quickly. She stepped right in and took charge. She was organized, detailed in her notes and updates, professional, and gave our fur babies all the love and attention the needed. We will definitely be booking her for all our future trips.”

“Lydia did an amazing job watching over our pups and home while we were gone. She was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She communicated with us each day and was prompt and professional. We can’t say enough good things about her and we hope she’ll continue to be available in the future. Thanks Lydia!”
About: I genuinely love animals. I have had pets since I was a little kid, and I currently have two cats and one dog. I have fostered many animals in need of a home and volunteered at multiple animal shelters, so I have experience taking care of pets. Neighbors, friends, and family can always rely on me to take care of their pets when needed. I have experience taking care of all kinds of pets, including kittens and puppies. I am flexible and reliable, and will treat your pet as if it were my own. I offer dog walking services and drop in visits for cats and dogs! What sets me apart from other sitters: - I have much experience training, caring for, and loving pets as I have fostered many animals and volunteered at shelters - I know how to administer oral medication for pets and I am experienced in caring for senior pets, pets in heat, puppies and kittens, and special needs pets - I take pride in treating your pet as if it were my own and making your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you are away - I am very reliable, flexible, and communicative. I will always send you updates about your pet and pictures of your furry friend :) - Any accommodation your pet needs, let me know and I can make it happen :) I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet around my schedule! I just need to know one day in advance to work my schedule around your pet's needs. However, I am very flexible and can take care of your pet at any time of the day. I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect that I would want for my own. I will make sure that your pet is safe and that your house is secure if I go on walks. When walking, I always trying to avoid overstimulating and crowded areas and make sure your dog is on a harness or leash. I always stay alert to prevent your pet from any danger. I will follow all instructions that you leave me whether that be sending photos or updates. Every pet is different, but I am willing to adapt to fit your pets needs to make sure they are cared for.
“Bane enjoyed Jazmyn. She was very attentive to Banes needs and provided unmatched care for my little boy. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter that communicates with you every step of the way and provides daily updates on your pet. Jazmyn is easy going, trustworthy and will make you feel comfortable opening your home up to her.”

“Carol was great! I felt so comfortable with her watching my cats. She sent lots of pictures and communicated well with me throughout the stay. Will definitely be booking future stays with Carol.”

Wonderful experience working with Liana! My dog was very happy when I got home and tired! She left my place just as clean as when I left and was very communicative durning my trip! Got lots of wonderful updates and my dog seemed to be having a blast! Will definitely book again!

Leonard was amazing with all 4 of my animals. He communicated the minute something happened with my youngest dog trying to escape and handled the situation the best it could have been handled. He kept my house in great condition and even watered the plants for us. I will always turn to Leonard to watch my animals when I’m gone.

Khaleynie really helped me with Coco. My girl isn’t fixed and I don’t like taking her to daycares where she can’t get the attention she needs. Khaelynie was respectful of my home and my dog just about considered her a second mom. House was left in pristine condition and my baby Coco was so happy. Thank you again and will be booking again shortly!

Adrianna was the perfect fit for Daisy she communicated with me with how Daisy was doing sent me pictures throughout my trip she was extremely friendly and easy to talk to I really appreciate her taking care of Daisy as if she was hers I’m definitely booking with her in the future again she was perfect thank you Adrianna Daisy and I appreciate you so much !!!

Elizabeth was amazing with our young puppy! She was patient, caring, and clearly experienced with little ones. Her calm and gentle approach helped our pup feel at ease right away. I really appreciated the regular updates and the extra attention she gave him. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again—highly recommend her, especially for families with young puppies!

Erin did an amazing job caring for my two large dogs! I could tell they were happy, well cared for, and in great hands while I was away. She provided daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again!
