“Literally the best pet and home sitter! Teal is so communicative and takes initiative. We received photo and text updates while away for the whole week. You can tell Teal cares so much about pets, but also the owners. Such a kind soul, will absolutely rebook with Teal in the future!”

“Aleksandra took great care of my cat Nutterbutter and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away! Highly recommend and we will most definitely be requesting Aleksandra!”


About: I've loved animals since I was a kid — that's where it all started. Growing up with pets taught me how much joy and comfort they bring to a home, and that's exactly why I love working with them today. Every pet has their own personality, and getting to know each one — their quirks, their routines, the way they wag or purr when they're happy — is the best part of my job. I treat every animal like my own. I have 4 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, which has given me a solid foundation in daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping pets happy and safe while their families are away. I'm also trained to administer oral medication to pets, so I can confidently care for animals with daily meds or special health needs — giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is in good hands. I'd love the chance to meet you and your pet! I absolutely love animals and right now I am pet sitting as my full time job as college allows me a flexible schedule to do so! I follow instructions to the T. I give them as much love as possible and maybe sneak them some treats every now and then. I make sure that everything is as safe and secure as possible as well for peace of mind.
“Nicole was amazing with my dog. She was communicative and sent lots of photos and videos during the stay. Super friendly and made me feel at ease while I was away.”

“Julia made us feel very comfortable throughout her stay with our puppy. She would send us messages and respond back promptly whenever we communicated. She also left the house very clean, which was a nice bonus on top of our dog being cared for so well!”

About: I grew up with a brindle boxer who was truly part of my family, and losing her a couple years ago was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. Since then, I’ve been fostering dogs through the Humane Society, everything from shy rescues to energetic puppies. Ive fostered dogs that had kennel cough to dogs that needed to gain weight after being rescued from horrible conditions. Fostering taught me how to handle different personalities, build trust with nervous dogs, and give each pet the patience and love they need. Caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same level of attention and compassion to every pet I watch. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I’m available most days and fully flexible, I'm pursuing a degree and have class Tuesday and Thursday from 9am–12pm, but I’m available the rest of the day and all other days of the week. This gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop‑ins, and house sitting. I plan my day around pet care, so your dog always gets consistent attention, timely visits, and plenty of love. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions exactly, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your dog is never put in an unsafe situation. I’m calm, patient, and experienced with foster dogs, so I know how to handle different personalities and energy levels. I always double‑check leashes, harnesses, and feeding routines, and I keep a close eye on your pet during every visit. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
“James did a wonderful job! Took wonderful care of my three doodles, and wonderful care of my home. I have one rescue that is hyper, anxious, and James was gentle and loving with her. All three of my dogs enjoyed James‘s presence, which is calm, quiet and gentle. I would highly recommend James! And I will most definitely have James come back when I need a pet sitter again.”

“Anna was a godsend while we were out of town! She stayed at our house and we came back to it cleaner than when we left. She sent updates and pictures every day, which left us feeling at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. Finding someone to house and pet sit can be stressful, but we are so glad we found Anna. I highly recommend her… we will definitely reach back out when we need a sitter in the future! Thank you, Anna🩷🩷”

“Marianne has watched our house & pups twice now! She is a great pup sitter as well as house sitter. We will continue to use Marianne when we are out of town!”

“Desiree was fantastic! Her communication was great, we received updates and photos all weekend and our house was spotless when we got home. Would absolutely recommend her!”

“When Emily took care of my girl over spring break, I was nothing but comfortable the entire time being away from my dog. She was very loving and kind to her: always made sure her water bowl was full, fed her on time, walked her and let her sniff everything, but most importantly, Emily gave Jill space to get to know her on Jill’s terms. That’s important to me because she didn’t make Jill feel uncomfortable or pressured to like her, she let it happen naturally, and boy did it. I can’t recommend Emily enough, thank you!”

“Audrey was very kind, responsive, and great for our little last minute fiasco. The pups really seemed to enjoy their time with her and we were able to enjoy the day not worrying about the care our pups were provided!”

“We went on a trip to San Diego for Comic Con and hired her about 2 to 3 weeks in advance for overnight care for cats. She sent pictures daily. She did cleanups she did the litter boxes twice a day mind you we have seven cats and a one year-old that ended up chewing one of our chords and she even replaced it. We thought he was out of this phase, but I guess New Kitty around new people regardless of that she stayed in communication. She always kept us updated New Kitty knew people regardless of that She always kept us updated with written notes, the place looks really good so I’m gonna rehire her again. Thank you.”

“Took great care of my high energy dog while away for the Holiday weekend. My dog has some separation anxiety issues so I wanted to make him feel more comfortable by staying in his safe place as a recent rescue. I came home to a very happy dog.”

“Alice is fabulous! She was absolutely wonderful with our little morkie! She was caring, attentive, dependable and kept us updated while we were away giving us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the moment we met Alice that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility very seriously. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a spotless home! She even cared for my 97 year old mother while we were gone, running errands for her and helping with meals. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Alice!! She is an angel.”

“Brianna was an absolute delight and wonderful house/cat sitter. She consistently communicated with us including videos and photos. Before our trip was over I had already booked Brianna for our next trip 😁. I highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. She showed my sweet cat all the love and I never worried about her.”


“First time booking with Dalila. She kept us updated and sent pictures of our pups. She captured their personalities perfectly and made us feel at ease. Very kind Rover sitter. Would book again!”

“Carly was the best! I’m super picky about who I leave my animals with and she made me feel so comfortable the entire time with tons of photos & updates. She loved on my boys like they are her own and I will definitely be reaching back out the next time I travel!”

Bella was fantastic with Nike! She kept me updated and sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and attentive to his needs. Nike really enjoyed spending time with her, and I appreciated knowing he was getting such great care. I would absolutely book with Bella again and highly recommend her!

Cassie was so sweet and very quick to respond which was so nice being away for the weekend! Upon coming home, Cassie left my house spotless. I was able to connect with Cassie before my booking which really set my mind at ease. I’m excited to have Cassie watch Millie again for future trips :)

Jamie was great. She is professional, communicative, and the animals loved her. We have 2 older dogs and two cats that accepted her into the pack immediately. Our cats, who usually take a day or two to warm up to strangers, showed up to say hi to her within a few hours of her arrival. We will definitely be booking with Jame in the future.

Marie is absolutely the best!!⭐️ She has such integrity,is 100% trustworthy, keeps me updated throughout the day with how my Pup is doing,sends oh so many cute pics,is commutative and is just a genuine beautiful soul who truly loves caring for animals🐾♥️ Marie is sincerely a rare gem of a person:) Whenever she watches my fur baby I know my Pup is safe,happy and healthy🐾♥️5stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Highly recommend!
I booked last minute which isn’t ideal but Kristina was able to watch Ferrari, quick to respond, and she was super sweet about it! She was on top of Ferraris medication morning and night, and kept me updated with photos and how she was doing each day. I am thankful that she was free because she keeps me in the loop and is attentive to Raris needs and makes me feel like Ferrari is in safe hands:)

Teal did an EXCELLENT job once again!!!! My pets were SO calm and content when we came home, and our house looked spotless!!! It gives me such peace of mind knowing they are so well cared for while we’re away. I truly can’t recommend Teal enough!!! You will not be disappointed! 💕🐾
Brian did an excellent job taking care of our 2 Great Danes on a last minute booking! He knew exactly what they needed and provided an environment that kept them safe. And gave us peace of mind that they would be well cared for while we were out of town. We will definitely book again with Brian.

Cassie was our lifesaver when we had to find someone to watch our girl asap. Aloy is super shy with strangers typically, but warmed up to Cassie so fast when we first met her! That was huge! We got lots of pictures and updates while we were gone, so we always knew what Aloy was up to and how she was feeling, which made us feel very comfortable despite being so far away. Can't recommend Cassie enough, we'll be booking again! :)

Madison was awesome. My two dogs loved her. She was very caring and had great communication with me all weekend. She sent lots of pictures, which is always so nice. I will definitely use Madison again. I came home to a clean house and a cute note and Polaroid of my girls!
Loved Meridith, and my pups loved her, she kept is well informed and updated with photos. She’s a lovely soul and we felt so comfortable around her, will be definitely booking her again. Boomer and Pearl loved her too, one of the reasons besides her amazing reviews, was a personal recommendation as well as the photos on her you can see the love and happiness in the fur babies. Thank you Meridith
