“Jackie was great! Right from the meet and greet through to my return, I was confident my dogs were in good hands. My Mercy is very suspicious of new people, but warmed up to Jackie within minutes. I was confident Mercy and Lainie were in good hands. Jackie even took Lainie to playgroup (Mercy would not go, and that was fine). I was amazed at the condition of the dogs and house upon my return as they were immaculate! I would highly recommend Jackie to everyone interested in a dog/house sitter!”
“We hired Haley to dog sit our two dogs during our wedding day, and she was absolutely amazing! Our dogs are usually slow to warm up to new people, but they were snuggling with her in no time — which says everything about how calm, kind, and trustworthy she is. Knowing they were safe and happy with her gave us so much peace of mind on such an important day. I would highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful!”
“Ezra was great with Coco! Immediately on entering our house they were calm and knew how to make our girl feel at ease with a new person (not easy - my dog is mostly cattle dog and they are suspicious of almost everyone). Ezra was responsive and thorough. Looking forward to calling them again!”
“Forest is a great sitter for our pets. We were fostering a dog last minute and Forest was able to take that on unexpectedly. He was super patient with a dog that was totally new to us and pretty fearful. He sends lots of updates and pictures. We appreciated his help tons!”
“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”
About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.
“Alyssa was great with our dogs! We went away for two nights and didn't worry at all about leaving them. The amount of communication and pictures was perfect. We will definitely be using Alyssa's services again in the future!”
“Ciara was amazing, took her care of my cats and my dog who is a bit high maintenance. Upgraded me all the time and made me feel so comfortable and happy that I used rover to have Ciara stay at my house. My dog would have been so unhappy being boarded.”
“Corrie did a great job taking care of our home, senior dog, junior high energy dog, and cat who was having some digestive issues at the time of our trip. Our pets' stay-cation was so great, I think they were disappointed when we came home. She walked our dogs A LOT, making them nice and tired and cuddly, even the two year old coonhound. I would highly recommend Corrie to anyone who wants to take a trip and know that their home and pets are in good hands.”
“Very happy that I found Dawn who was willing to house sit my three cats. The two females do not get along well, they pretty much tolerate each other. Then my male cat has thyroid issues and needs a topical med applied to his inner ear twice a day. Dawn was good about sitting with my cats at night and cuddling with them. I know my cats were pretty happy having the company.”
About: I've always been surrounded by animals. I have experience with puppies, kitties, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and large breed dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies! I am available to love on your babies full time! Whatever their routine is, we will be able to stick to it. I am happy to stay overnight with your babies, or get to them as early as needed. I will make sure all their needs are met. Food and water will always be handled as instructed, play time and pets go without saying, and a potty break will never be missed! I have been in a situation where my sitter did not let my dogs out in a timely manner, and I would not put someone through that stress. Your babies don't deserve that!
“Noelle did a great job caring for our dogs while we explored the area. Very sweet and reliable. Would recommend her and would have her stay with the dogs again if ever in the area again.”
“Lauren was so good with the animals! She sent lots of pictures and the animals looked so happy and cared for. Lauren had great communication and we would absolutely hire her again.”
“I was desperate for an in home sitter and Elisa was available for all of our needs. She cared for our three dogs as if they were her own. She sent plenty of update photos and kept us informed regularly on what was going on. We will definitely have her back!”
About: I grew up taking full responsibility for my two dogs, handling their daily feeding, walks, playtime, and overall care. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Friends often trust me to look after their dogs when they need help, and I treat every dog as if it were my own with patience, attention, and lots of care Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available all day during the week as well as on weekends, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and consistent care throughout the day I care for pets with a calm, attentive, and safety-first approach, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I live close to a park, which allows for regular outdoor walks and exercise. I’m very careful during walks and always stay alert to my surroundings to ensure pets are safe and comfortable at all times

This was the first time we ever left our pets with someone other than family. Tatyjana treated my pets as if they were family. They snuggled with her and her family, and they looked like they felt at home. They were well cared for and even posed for pictures. Something I can't get them to do. She definitely eased any concerns we may have had. We will have no problems asking her again. Thank You so much.
We were more than satisfied with our choice of Tiffany for watching our cat Lucky for 3 weeks. We were concerned that Lucky might not accept Tiffany once he realized we were gone. That fear was short lived when she shared a photo of him sleeping on her lap the first day. Lucky is a high maintenance cat because he is an indoor/outdoor cat, so more work for Tiffany was required. We are so glad that she was available for that time slot and agreed to stay in our home. We highly recommend Tiffany.
A great experience overall with our 2 medium sized dogs (shepherd mix & pit bull) along with our cat for a week while we were on vacation. Left our house very clean when we returned and was proactive with communication & responses while we were away. Our shepherd mix is a rescue and he was very sensitive to her "quirks" Highly recommend Timothy and looking forward to booking again!
Daniel took great care of our two large playful dogs. He reached out to schedule a meet and greet after booking to make sure he was a good fit for our dogs and understood our expectations. He was very communicative before and during the house sitting service. He sent photo and video updates and left our home in great condition. Highly recommend his services to any pet owners that are looking for reliable in-home pet care.
Forest and I had an initial meet and greet with my two dogs and an overview of my home since he would be taking care of both for over two weeks. His experience and work/life met my needs for the stay. He is very responsive to texts, sent some pics so I could see my dogs that I missed so much on my trip. I had every confidence that the dogs and my house was taken care of and that is a lot, I don't trust many people to take care of my dogs aside from family. I will book him again for future trips.
Bri was wonderful with our senior dog. As our dog has gotten older, it has become trickier to find someone we trust to leave her with— anxiety inducing for both us and the dog! But we felt great leaving her with Bri and came home to a very happy pup. Bri was very communicative and gave us lots of updates. We look forward to booking with her again!
We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch Dug at the house as we travelled this past weekend. From the meet and greet to the end of stay, Amy was a true gem. She contacted us upon arrival at the house, kept us informed throughout the 2 days with text messages and pictures, and cleaned up the house before leaving. Coming home to a happy dog and a clean house was very much appreciated. I would give Amy a 5+ Star rating if it went higher.
