“Eveyln was great with both our high energy dog and elderly cat. It was a last minute booking and we were lucky to find Evelyn, who stepped in for a quick meet and greet, asked questions, took notes, then came to care for our little ones for three nights. They were well cared for and our home was neat as a pin when we returned. We'll book Evelyn again without a doubt.”

“WOW! Angela was the perfect petsitter for our little babies! She was so sweet, professional, and communicative and it made us feel so comfortable leaving them for two weeks as well as having her stay at our house! Our house was clean when we returned like she wasn’t even there! Both our pups were so happy not just to see us but overall happy and weren’t upset we were gone which shows us how great Angela was with them! Thank you Angela and we WILL book again!”
“Linda is amazing! Our Benji is 14 years old and has several health issues and needs lots of special attention. Linda takes the best care of him! She is kinda and patient with him. She stayed 5 nights at our home and left it spotless! Thank you Linda for easing our worries while we were away!”

“We’ve book with Madison a few times and she always takes the best care of our dogs. She takes them on walks, sends photos and videos, and checks in frequently. Great communication and care.”
“Larissa went above and beyond our expectations. She was extremely professional, responsible and mostly provided quality, compassionate care to our baby Colden. Weimaraners can be a challenging breed but Larissa was up for the task. We had no worries while we were away as she kept us up to date on their activities. Highly recommend!”
About: I am local to Downtown Troy and would love to care for your pets! I am home often with a flexible job schedule, so please feel free to message me if it looks my availability isn’t clear for your days/times needed, I can typically open it up for last minute requests. I have cared for animals with all kinds of different personalities and needs, so I am very confident in my ability to care for your fur babies! I am currently working hybrid, which comes with a fair amount if availability and a flexible schedule, I’m looking to use my extra time to spend time with adorable fur babies! If booking me for a walk, I am extremely familiar with surrounding areas (and know many of the local dogs and their owners that are out and about!), allowing me to make sure that your pets are safe when spending any time outside with me. I will be on high alert to make sure your pet has nothing but positive interactions.
“Amanda is the best dog sitter I have ever had! She was so attentive to all of my dog's needs and respectful of his quirks and daily schedule. She kept me fully updated every day I was gone and sent lots of cute pictures and videos - I felt like I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew my fur baby was in loving and capable hands. I recommend Amanda 100%!!!”
“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”
About: Caring for animals is a genuine joy of mine! Growing up with a black lab, I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. Friends and family often trust me to look after their animals, because I’m dependable and enjoy spending time with them. I understand the importance of giving pets plenty of care and attention while also respecting their individual needs and personal space, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well-loved. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule, so there is plenty of time to care for your pets! I also love being active so I will happily get in as many walks as needed! In order to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me and with me in your home, I always request that we do a meet and greet prior to booking for the first time.
“Barbara was great! We were able to go on vacation and not have to worry because she had it all under control! She sent regular updates and photos. We will definitely book with her again soon!”
“I can’t say enough about Jenna and Aidan! They stayed at our house overnight and, during the day, took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats. One of our dogs, a senior collie, has special needs, and they handled this with ease. They also looked after our elderly cat with kidney issues while still making time to play with our energetic three-year-old dog. They communicated with us , which gave us such peace of mind. Thanks to their compassionate and attentive care, we were able to fully enjoy our getaway knowing that our pet family was in the best of hands. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible pet sitters!”
“Caroline was awesome! Communication was great. It was a last minute job and she made herself available to help. It was my first time using Rover and she was super patient with me. Thank you!”
“D is just amazing! Our 12yo sweet and sassy Carlee loved them right from the initial meet and greet! When I found out they had a pit bull mix who was also a senior like our girl, I felt at ease knowing she would be in good hands. Their personality is very warm and you can tell how much they love furbabies. We hired them initially as our new dog walker to replace our permanent one who moved out of state and felt so comfortable with the TLC they showed Carlee during her walks that after one week we hired them to sit for our girl while we went away for 5 days. I love how D pays attention to detail. They wanted to make sure that they knew our golden girl from her walking routine, how she interacts with dogs and people, to her feeding and special treats routine, which is a bit extensive, all the way down to the way she likes to cuddle. We never worried a minute while we were away because D had everything under control. They even went above and beyond in taking our girl to the vet twice for previously scheduled laser therapy appointments. They also took great care of things around the house from watering the plants, bringing in our mail, even replacing the water jug to our dispenser when it got empty. D is very friendly, reliable, trustworthy and I love receiving their in depth updates with daily pictures and videos regarding our baby and her behavior. It was such a comfort knowing that our girl could stay comfortable and happy in her routine at home. We are so glad we found D and HIGHLY recommend them and their pet sitting and walking services!!”
“Steven is great! He’s friendly and our dogs couldn’t have been happier and more well taken care of when we got home. He was quick to take our sitting job in a pinch and we look forward to having him hang with our dogs again in the future!”

Christina was fantastic! She gave us a ton of pictures and updates of our pups throughout our week long vacation. She took great care of our house and both our temperamental huskies. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs house/dog sitting in the future. We will definitely be using her services again.
Emily was great! She kept us updated during her stay and took really good care of our dog and was very accommodating with our trip schedule. We are always nervous to leave him with someone new, but Emily made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely use her again!
Ethan was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He responded right away to our last-minute request and even made time for a same-day meet and greet before booking, which we appreciated so much. His communication was quick, clear, and kind throughout. He was incredibly gentle and patient with our cat, Wiloughby, and his calm, respectful approach helped Wiloughby warm up right away. Ethan followed all our instructions perfectly, sent updates, and treated both our home and pet with real care. We’re so grateful for how prompt, reliable, and compassionate he was and we’d happily book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Katrina took excellent care of our dog Bella and our house! We received frequent communication on how Bella was doing and lots of pictures. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again! It was our first time having a dog sitter at the house and was a great experience!
