“Michelle dog sat my pup Ozzie for the night. He was immediately so comfortable with her and not as anxious as usual. She is great and communicated very well. I would highly recommend Michelle.”

“Alexandra did a great job with our 17 year old cat. We were out of town for 3 days and came back to a very clean living space and a very content Isis. Would definitely recommend Alexandra for overnight sitting with your pet!”

“Karla and Shaun watched our Dobie Chief last weekend for a house sitting booking. Wow, they’re the BEST!! Super down to earth, kind and easy going people. Karla was in touch with lots of updates and pictures along the way. I felt completely at ease with them staying in my home and taking care of our big boy. Do not hesitate to book their services. They’re fantastic people!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to my three rescue girls they are very tough background and one has special needs and his elderly so I have hands-on experience with dogs who need extra patience medication and lots of love I’m currently retired and have nothing but love for animals, so I’ll be caring for them with the upmost. Your pet will be in its own room by itself a nice environment, music heat fan AC whatever is necessary. properly taken care of until you come home Like I said, I’m currently retired and love spending time with my own pets, so I’ll treat your pets just like mine. They will be safe they will be secluded from any other pets in the house they’ll take walks daily and play in the yard. I keep all pets separate, so if you have one or two pets, they’ll be together, they’ll be isolated from any other pet in the house, including my own.
“Greg provided the absolute best animal care that we have ever had! We recently moved into a new house and needed to take a trip to visit family. I was very nervous about finding someone to care for our dog, and really wanted to find someone who was open to staying at our home. Greg had glowing reviews on Rover, and luckily was avail”

“Phenomenal job all around. It was our first time using rover for housesitting and we were a bit nervous to leave Marvin (our cat) for such a lengthy period given how many meds he has to have administered. He gets thyroid medication administered twice daily and gets a daily asthma pump. But Marvin was well taken care of! He was pampered and spoiled in all the best ways. We got daily updates with pictures and videos of Marvin which we were really appreciative of. Even during the meet-and-greet it was clear that Marvin would be just fine as Armeda wrote meticulously notes in her phone about Marvin’s routine (which as a spoiled cat is a lot!). We came back to a happy cat and an extremely clean house. I truly recommend Jason and Armeda, they were great. Thank you again!”

Terri took amazing care of Elie while I was away. She kept my home exactly as I left it, and Elie was calm, happy, and clearly loved her. She checked in with me every day, sent regular photos, and always responded quickly, which made the whole trip completely stress‑free. Terri was reliable, thoughtful, and great with dogs. I’d absolutely book her again.
