“Jeff was SO wonderful with our big, high energy, 9 month old puppy! He took extra care to make sure that our dog got plenty of walks, dog parks visits, and time to hang out at home. He even worked with us to add on an additional walk last minute after we returned from our trip. Our dog loves Jeff and we can’t wait to have him back!”


“Sabrina and Daniel were great! They took such good care of my pups, communicated well, and left me feeling confident that my dogs and my home were in good hands while I was away. They also took some of the cutest photos of them that I've seen. :) Who knew I'd have souvenir photos of my dogs in addition to my vacation photos? I would recommend them highly. They are experienced dog-people who love what they do.”


“Lisa was fantastic! She took great care of our dog who often gets a little anxious when we leave. She got him feeling safe and comfortable in no time. She was very communicative, walked him daily, and made sure his needs were met. In addition, the house was spotless. I would hire her again and highly recommend her services!”


“Olivia was amazing our dog Lulu adores her, she was comforting Lulu during the storm, took her on walks, cuddled with her, Plus she watered all our plants, tidied up our house, stripped the bed and washed the sheets and towels. We have nothing but praise for Olivia!”


“Maddie did another five-day house sit for us again, talking good care of our old cat and energetic dog! She was great (as always) about working with our timing needs (even adjusting as we arrived home a bit earlier than expected due to unexpected flight times). She always treats the house and our beloved pets with care and respect, and this house sit was no different. Thanks Maddie!”


“Josephine was great with our pups over the weekend, actively communicating during her stay and leaving the house in great condition! Will definitely ask her to watch our two dogs again in the future.”


“We were so happy that Jeri was able to watch our house and our dog Gus. She sent tons of pictures and reassuring updates, and we came home to a clean, well-kept house and a happy, healthy dog. I’d absolutely book with her again!”


“Alex was great watching our two energetic pups (Aussie and Golden) for a long weekend. She stayed at our house for 3 nights and entertained our pups with playing fetch out in the backyard and taking them on nice long strolls. She was great with sending picture updates so we were at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. She cared for our home very well, vacuumed and even washed the sheets prior to our arrival. We would definitely book her again in the future if she’s available. Thanks Alex.”



“We used Victoria for an extended stay and she was great, we had photo updates, she managed our beeping alarm with no worries and helped coordinate care when needed. We so appreciate her and our dog was well taken care of, we will happily use her again!”


“Weiyun was wonderful! She took such great care of my cat and senior dog while I was out of town. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos—such a thoughtful touch. I came home to two very happy boys, which is all I could ask for. She’s also a great communicator and made scheduling a breeze. Highly recommend!”


“Wren was amazing! My dog had some health complications during her stay, and Wren was incredible at accommodating vet visits, being flexible, and caring for my dog. She also has a incredibly patient demeanor that dogs are immediately attracted too. Ten out of ten, would recommend!”


“Allison did a great job taking care of our anxious dog while we were out of town. She was a great communicator - asked questions and gave us lots of updates. She took good care of our house as well! Highly recommend : )”



“I couldn't ask for a better person to dog sit. Ava was great with all three of my dogs. She sent pictures every day and answered any texts I sent right away. In the future, l will always request Ava”


“We have done Rover for many years. We recently scheduled Caleb to stay at our house with our 2 dogs. Caleb was great with our dogs and our house was very clean when we returned. We also appreciated Caleb's daily updates and communication while we were away. We definitely recommend Caleb and will book with him again in the future.”


“Molly was great. She took care of our cat, fish, and our dog that had been recently injured. She was very communicative and affectionate towards our pets. We highly recommend Molly.”


“Tiara did a great job with our rambunctious little corgi. She was patient with my nervous communication, kept me updated and left our place super clean. Would definitely book with her again!”


About: Hi there! You can call me Steph 🤗 Growing up, family friends and school teachers would often ask me to pet/house sit their fur babies as they knew how much I care about the well-being of all animals. I understand that a lot of pets do not easily trust others, for me this is important in being able to give an animal their space and respecting their boundaries. I make sure to take my time with getting to know each pet I care for. I also have experience caring for birds and rodents 🤗 I am currently working from home part time and am available to provide frequent potty breaks and frequent play. I have my own dog who i take to a nearby park twice a day in addition to several short breaks throughout the day. I have plenty of apartment space for play and have my own dog to keep your baby company while they are visiting. I also let animals on my furniture so they can really feel at home and comfortable.
