Evelyn’s was great to work with! She communicated, was always on time and really went above and beyond when one of our dogs had an accident. I would absolutely recommend working with her and will work with her again in the future.

Cesar did great during the drop-in visit. He followed all instructions I gave him and did exactly what I expected him to do with Harley. He deserves 10 stars and I hope to hire him again in the future. Thank you Cesar for doing everything on point.

We absolutely adored Izzabellah K! Our fur-baby was fond of her the moment he met her, as were we. She communicated well, efficiently, and effortlessly. Followed our instructions well. Is super friendly and kind! We will definitely be using her again.

About: Pets are family, and I know that firsthand! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. Growing up, we had two energetic and lovable miniature schnauzers, Shaggy and Betty, who brought so much joy to our home. After they passed, I adopted my sweet girl, Cali, two years ago. She’s my adventure buddy—we go on daily walks and runs, and she keeps me on my toes! I’m friendly, active, and caring, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure they’re well taken care of, I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Since I work fully remote, I have the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. My own dog, Cali, is a big part of my day—we go on morning and evening walks, and I take regular breaks to give her attention, play, or just check in. This setup allows me to provide consistent care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving pets the love and attention they need. I can easily adjust my schedule to accommodate drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, ensuring your pets are well cared for while you’re away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddle sessions. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and their pet’s established routine. I make sure to follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special requests. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I always ensure that pets receive the care and attention they deserve. My goal is to make them feel at ease while their owners are away!

About: I have had about 3 dogs in my entire lifetime and I love them! I have helped take care of family and friends dogs and I would love to walk your dog as well! I have Mondays and Fridays mainly free for the summer. I also have Wednesday midday and small hour slots throughout Tuesday and Thursday! If you have a pup who needs a way to burn energy throughout the day, I'll be there for them! Specific times: Monday: Any time Tuesday: 11-12:30; 5:30-10 Wednesday: 11-12:30; 3-10 Thursday: 11-2:15; 7:30-10 Friday: Any time Saturday: 5-10 Sunday: Any time I have a small backyard with a tall wall that would prevent dogs from running out. I have a relatively large first floor living area with lots of space for a dog to run around. I am home for the most part and am willing to constantly watch and care for a dog.

About: I grew up with having dogs in my house. At one point we had two at once! I was expected to take care of them so I learned the foundations from my family. I am use to bigger dogs such as golden retrievers but I also enjoy more medium sized dogs as well. I have experience being trusted with caring for pets of my family, my friends, and strangers. I feel confident in my ability to watch dogs of any breed, and I am also confident of my ability to be a patient and caring cat caretaker. While I did not grow up with cats, I have had multiple experiences taking care and providing a loving environment for them. I am pretty go with the flow, flexible, and eager to hang out with your pets! I am a graduate student that will have classes during the evening, but I would love to fill my day with animals! I am willing to be flexible in providing care and I am looking forward to helping out! With my experience I understand that being a caring and attentive caregiver is important for pets. They are almost always unconditionally loving and I mirror that in my care. I am not afraid to ask questions on how to provide your pet the best care. I understand that every pet is unique and I want to ensure their comfort and safety. I am very communicative as well! I love to send updates and pics over text!

Katherine was so amazing! She is very kind and gentle with my senior cat Benny. Benny warmed up to her and went in for some pets. Katherine is very reliable, communicative and professional. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing that Katherine was watching Benny after our meet and greet. I would book Katherine again!

Booked Ellie for a check in while we were out, and she did great. I’m sure if my pups could talk, they would agree! I was a tad bit nervous as it would be the first time she would be checking in without us present and everything went smoothly. Ellie sent us updates and pictures, which we love!

Casey did a great job! Cesar is an older dog and she kept a good eye on him, letting me know when he seemed off one day. She always sent me pics and reports of what he was up to, how he was eating, etc. I was thankful to have such a caring, experienced sitter! And she made awesome organic dog treats!! Would def use her again!

Quetzaly has been wonderful with our pets. She first sat for our cat, Gemini, and we felt like she took such great care of her that we never had to worry while we were away. Because of that great experience, we thought she would be a great sitter for our 5-month-old puppy, Sesame. My partner was out of town for the weekend and I was working nights that week, so we needed someone to watch Sesame, and Quetzaly was available on short notice. We’re so happy we booked with her—Sesame clearly had a great time! Quetzaly followed all of our instructions carefully and took great care of our girl. She kept us updated with pictures and the Rover card, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We never had to worry about Sesame while we were away. We would absolutely love to have her sit for us again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their fur babies.

About: I have worked in a pet food and supply store for two years where I learned a lot about how to properly take care of dogs, and how to train puppies. I have also had two dogs for about ten years now. I do part time work, but my hours there are short and flexible. I am available all other times including evenings and weekends for walks, and to check in on dogs. For houses sitting services I am available all week. I live by many parks for the dogs to play in, and I would be happy to take them to dog beaches or dog parks. I am unable to bring dogs inside my home right now as I’m living with someone who is extremely allergic, but still want to fill my heart with the joys of dogs.

Samantha looked after my dog Raven on short notice and was great! She was able to meet her beforehand to make sure she was a good fit. She took the interaction with my dog slow as she is shy with new people. After the drop in visit she left a great summary which let me know my dog was well taken care of. I will be using her in the future!

Danielle has been absolutely wonderful! We first met her for a meet & greet earlier this week before booking our first drop-in, and right away we felt comfortable with her. She’s so kind, and you can genuinely tell how much she loves and cares for animals. Today she came by for an hour to let Shane and Parker out for a potty break, and she went above and beyond by spending extra time with them. We really appreciated that and loved knowing our boys were getting some extra attention and company while we were away. We’re so thankful we found Danielle and feel completely comfortable having her care for our dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾

Sam and Emily were wonderful dog sitters for our two dogs, Rocco (Boston Terrier) and Chloe (Great Dane). They kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which we really appreciated. They were attentive to important details and communicated everything clearly. We especially loved how patient they were with our Great Dane, who can be a big scaredy-cat. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in their care and would highly recommend them!
