“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“Erica took excellent care of my 14 year old puppy who recently had vertigo. I was not worried at all while I was away, I knew Iko was in good hands. She kept me updated with lots of messages and pictures. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“Pilar was wonderful! She kept me updated when I asked about my dogs and she has a heart of gold! When I picked my dogs up they were happy! Pilar has a heart of gold! Highly recommend her!”
“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
“Cristina was the best sitter I have had for Valentina! She was extremely communicative and made me feel that Valentina was safe throughout her whole stay. I had several delays to my trip and Cristina was super flexible, allowing Valentina to stay longer than expected. We appreciated this so much. Book with Cristina, she is awesome!”
“Jennifer is quite possibly the worlds best pet sitter. We are somewhat obsessed with our dog so picking someone to leave her with was not a decision we came to lightly. However Jenn makes it SO easy because she is so incredibly good to our dog. She’s wonderful and we just can’t recommend her enough.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care they provided for our girl! We were nervous about leaving her for an extended time because of her energy level, but she settled right in and had the best time. The updates and pictures they sent were incredibly reassuring and showed us just how much fun she was having. Knowing she was happy and in such good hands made our trip so much easier. We will absolutely be using them again whenever we go out of town! 🐾”
“Berenice is incredible kind and has a genuine care and love for dogs! We booked an 5 day stay for our 14yo cocker. Berenice sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing which was comforting as we don’t typically leave our dog, especially now in his old age. Would rebook anytime and highly recommend.”
“Linda was incredibly responsive to my request and so easy to work with. She took such good care of my Yorkie and I’m pretty sure he got all the love and snuggles he needed. She is a kind, gentle soul who gave me peace of mind on his 8 day stay. I owe her a huge THANK YOU!”
“We love having Whitney as our sitter! She’s so friendly and makes our doggies feel welcome in her home. Whitney send us photos everyday and I can tell our dogs enjoy their walks and all the attention they get! Our dog Dany looked very comfortable in their sofa during her last stay haha. You know the sitter’s a winner when your dog gets super excited when we drop off! :)”

“CJ did a great job with the cats while I was gone for 10 days. He was able to come twice a day and hang out with them and give them the attention they needed. He updated me on everything and was easy to communicate with. He also shared great pictures from each visit! I came home to two happy cats.”
“Bobbie is exceptional! She was able to comfort my two very shy cats while we were away. They get depressed and anxious whenever we take a trip. Bobbie sent photos and videos through out her visit. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We booked this visit last minute due to our flights being canceled and having to drive cross country. She did not even hesitate to help us. Which made our lives so much easier during that time!! If you don’t have a sitter yet Kelsey’s the one!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life so I’m very familiar with long walks playtime, feeding administering medication and most importantly love and comfortability. I hate to say it, but my dogs are spoiled like they are my own children so my Doberman is my son and my cocker spaniel mix is my daughter and I do refer to them that way 😂 I can’t wait for them to have a bunch of doggy cousins! My work weeks are pretty flexible. I go into work for a minimal amount of time. I have dogs of my own so I don’t like to keep them home alone for long. Our days are filled with cat naps long walks. They are free roaming animals so they’re welcome on the furniture and the bed. There is an outdoor patio area that is turfed that my own dogs enjoy . They are feed once in the morning once in the evening. My Doberman is also spent doing mental stimulation and training so I’m happy to teach your dog a few new tricks also :)
“Cynthia was amazing with our three kitties - they warmed up to her as soon as they met, and she was wonderful with them. Followed all care instructions, and was very responsive and responsible! Would definitely recommend and book with her again.”
About: Hey! My name is Chris… also known as Cherry’s Dad. I am very enthusiastic about people’s pets, have had dogs my entire life and will continue to be a dog person forever and ever. Fun fact: my mom owns a dog grooming shop in LA! I’ve worked a lot in the shop and have handled literally hundreds of pet dogs. After 15 years in corporate, I’m now a Business owner with flexibility in my schedule. I walk my own pet 3 times a day, and frequently take breaks to complete my put duties! At home, I pay attention to the dogs signals and adjust accordingly - are they happy? Nervous? Thirsty? Whining? I speak pretty good dog by listening. During walks, I never allow strangers, especially children, to approach someone’s dog I am in control of who isn’t mine.
“Virginia was a lifesaver and did such an amazing job watching our fur babies while we were away. She follows directions extremely well, provides updates multiple times a day. It is apparent that she cares about her clients and pets and goes above and beyond so we had peace of mind while on vacation. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
“Maureen came to my place when I had to be away for an overnight trip. She took AMAZING care of my kitty Edmund by making sure he took his meds. She came armed with cat treats and a pill popper. I love how prepared she came. She is an experienced animal sitter and I will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve had pets for many years now. Dogs, Cats, Snakes, and Fish… I love all animals. If I could have more I would definitely get some more. I am currently not working which means I can provide a lot of care for your animals. I am a available 7 days a week I have a fenced-in yard and a doggy door for easy bathroom access. We have 4 dogs full of energy and love to play. They are crate-trained; this is there safe place
About: I grew up around cats thanks to my aunt, but my hands-on experience really started during the pandemic when I rescued a stray cat off the streets while staying with my grandma in Idaho. I got her fully vetted, fixed, and updated on all her shots. My grandma didn't think she wanted a cat at first, but her dog had recently passed and I knew she could use the company. I stayed to acclimate the cat and get them settled—and now, she loves her so much she won't let me have her back! Today, I'm a proud cat dad to Karl, a beautiful Tuxedo kitty boy I adopted from an animal shelter three years ago. He is incredibly attached to me, and raising him from a shelter rescue into a happy, loving companion has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior. Whether your cat is an outgoing cuddler like Karl or needs a patient presence who knows how to respect their independent boundaries, I'll ensure they get the attentive, affectionate care they deserve.
“Natalie was great! She took care of my cat Prada with drop in visits every day. She took photos and updated me with an issues. She is kind and easy going. Definitely will be using her again!!!!!”
“Victoria was so sweet and attentive to my cat! I appreciate all the photos she sent me too! She was quick with her responses and easy to talk to. I will definitely rehire her if I’m in need again. Thank you so much!”
“I recently broke my wrist (strong arm) and live alone with my many pets. It was difficult to care for my pets. Erica agreed to help me with feeding and caring for my 2 dogs and 8 former street cats. One of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin shots twice daily. Erica came to my house twice a day, 12 hours apart, for almost 2 months like clockwork. She was so kind, gentle and dependable. She clearly knows and loves animals. One night my diabetic cat was having a hard time with his diabetes. Erica stuck around and helped me find an emergency vet and then helped me get him in his carrier, which is quite a task! She truly cares about animals and her experience working with them is evident. It was such a feeling of relief to know that Erica helped me through this tough time. I completely trust her and will definitely hire her again for pet care. She is the best!”

“Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I honestly think he was a little bummed to come home after all the fun he had exploring, walking and playing with their sweet dog, Harper. I'm very grateful to have found them and Odi will be thrilled with another visit someday.”
“Berenice is amazing! She took great care of my pup and I am so grateful to her! He enjoyed spending time at her house with other doggies and her kids. She sent me photos and the report. She also got me a really nice card with his paw for Mother's Day! What a great thought! She just went above and beyond. I would recommend her for sure and will be using her services again in the future when in town.”
“Virginia is an amazing pet sitter. She truly cares for the animals and the clients she is working with. She follows instructions well and gives updates daily and answers questions or concerns in a timely manner. She gave me peace of mind while I was away. 5 stars.”
About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.
About: 💕Family Owned & Operated 👩👧👦 What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my ability to adapt to the needs of pets of all ages, from playful puppies to serene seniors. I provide a safe, loving environment where every pet feels happy and secure. My approach involves customizing activities and care routines to suit each pet's specific stage of life, ensuring their well-being and comfort. Whether it's engaging in energetic play with younger pets or offering gentle, attentive care for older ones, my focus is on creating a nurturing and enjoyable experience for all. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. I dedicate specific times for feeding, walks, and play, ensuring each pet receives personalized attention and care. In both my home and clients' homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment. I ensure secure spaces, follow routines, and provide constant supervision to maintain a safe and trusting atmosphere for all pets in my care.
About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.
About: I have never known a life without a pet of some kind. Having animals, I learned very early on the importance of responsibility as well as empathy for the feelings and lives of others. Just as we pay attention to human body language for cues, the same standard comes into play for animals. Because they can’t speak like we do, it is important to be attentive as well as respectful of their needs. I have 10+ years of experience from not only my own array of pets (dogs, geckos, horses, chickens, ratties, cats, etc), but also from my main line of work. I have been an in home nursing assistant for 5 years, beginning with taking care of my great grandmother and her dog in her home which blossomed into the career I know and love today. My integrity and compassion for both animals and humans has led to many opportunities for me. From walking dogs for neighbors and friends, grooming assistance, occasional medical assistance, Overnight sitting/boarding, and even small excursions for enrichment, all the way down to childcare in some cases. I am a child at heart and with animals, my spirit is at play. they bring just as much joy to my life as I hope to bring to theirs. I’d love to treat your furrever baby like my own while you’re away 🤍 I am currently taking a break from my human patients and putting more emphasis on building my animal care portfolio. I’d like to become a pet sitter/walker full time while back in school. I am able to provide A well enriched and attentive home with lots of toys and attention to offer. There is a park less than 5 minutes walking distance as well that I’d be happy to take your pet to visit for potty breaks and play, should that be okay with you. I don’t particularly like to crate dogs, however, if that is their safe space or they happen to be crate trained that’s no issue at all/is appreciated if they do not do well being left alone for an hour or so at a time. Communication is key and you will always be contacted should anything of concern arise.

About: I have always grown up with dogs and have never been in the house without them. I have had my own dog for the past two years and I regularly help take care of my neighbors pets as well as my friends. I have taken care of dogs from 2 pounds all the way up to over 100 pounds and I would say I’m very well-versed in how to care for animals. My dog is extremely dog friendly and would love to meet and play with your dog friend.! If your dog is unsure of other dogs, then I can walk your dog without my dog or I can dogs sit at your house without bringing my dog with me. I currently work a hybrid position where I am fully home on Mondays and Fridays and during the weekend. During the week I come home during my lunch break from work to walk my dog, so if needed, I can walk your dog during my lunch break as well. Mondays and Fridays, I am fully available to care for your dog in my home, at your home or whichever arrangement works best. I do live in a dog friendly apartment, but I can care for either your dog in either my home or in your home. My dog and I are constantly going to the park and beach so if your dog is comfortable, I can also take them with me to the park or beach.
“Jacob was very accommodating and quick to answer any of my questions. Very easy Going and has a nice house to accommodate my golden retriever. Highly recommended services. He is kind, professional and flexible.”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”

About: Hello ! I have had dogs my whole life, small, medium and large dogs of all different kinds of breeds. The different dogs in my photos are dogs I’ve walked, boarded and pet sat for. I have boarded many different dogs before but I'm really eager to board for other families and their dogs on Rover.

Your dog and I will enjoy all the time spent if it's in your home or mine or simply on a walk. Whatever service you need I'm here for you and your dog ! Thank you so much ! :) I work from home full time so I’m able to have flexibility with my pet scheduling. Being home full time helps me be with your pet at every moment and monitor them with care. I have a fenced yard and one senior dog. He is very tiny and doesn’t give much attention to other animals (pretends they’re not there lol) he also has no teeth :)

About: Hi, my name is Bree! Currently, my only pet is a cat, but I grew up with chihuahuas, a bird, and have pet sat for many friends and family members. After moving away from my hometown, I missed hanging out with all type of animals, so I decided to start pet sitting again. I love all animals, but I feel most comfortable and confident with cats and smaller or lower energy dogs. I am also happy to care for other animals, like birds, fish, and reptiles. I have experience administering oral and topical medications. I’m an excellent communicator and will tailor my care to your pets’ needs. I have a strong attention to detail and will love and care for your fur babies like they are my own.

On days when I work outside the home, I can drop in before and/or after my other responsibilities. I treat all homes with respect and cleanliness, and will follow your instructions for care. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved in your absence.

“Alanis is so wonderful. She walks our energetic golden retriever on occasions and our pup cannot wait to see her! She is very communicative and details our pup’s behavior and any concerns, etc. she may have. We feel so comfortable knowing we have her coming over to help out. She provides sweet love and care to our girl and we will continue to request Alanis’s help as often as we are able to!”

About: Hi! My name is Isabelle. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for at least 10 years! I miss having dogs around so I will love yours like my own. I work from home full time and can easily take lots of breaks to let your dog out! I also take 1-2 long walks a day. Feel free to bring their bed and any toys your dog may want to have with them. I don’t have a yard but plenty of space to walk them around.
“I had to book her last minute. She was a great communicator and gave my dogs a great walk! I can tell from just the distance alone and the pics, that my dogs got the exercise they needed. She walked my 1 confident Am Staff and my 1 very nervous German Shepard/am Staff mix and she wasn’t deterred by his barking! I will definitely book her again!!”
About: I have 10 years experience with dogs and 3 with cats, I’m passionate about exercise and extend this to pets! I’m able to do home visits or take care of them at my apartment. I’m a UW grad student. I’m available Thursday-Sunday for pet care. I enjoy working with small to medium sized dogs and can take cats that aren’t afraid to meet new people (me) or that can warm up to me. I have a private 1 bedroom apartment for myself. My living room features a cat tree and many cat toys for needed stimulation. For dogs, I have toys and fidgets as well and enjoy taking them on walks or runs for me to achieve my daily move goals as well.
About: I love pets, I have the biggest heart for dogs and taking care of them is so fun for me. They are big fluff baby’s, I have a lot of patience for every pet. I’m currently working part time, and going to school so I have a few hours of my day to pet sit. I would be available more during weekends. I will only be providing dog walking, but if need be my house is fenced off and secure, I bring my dog here all the time from my other home.
About: Hey! My name is Chris… also known as Cherry’s Dad. I am very enthusiastic about people’s pets, have had dogs my entire life and will continue to be a dog person forever and ever. Fun fact: my mom owns a dog grooming shop in LA! I’ve worked a lot in the shop and have handled literally hundreds of pet dogs. After 15 years in corporate, I’m now a Business owner with flexibility in my schedule. I walk my own pet 3 times a day, and frequently take breaks to complete my put duties! At home, I pay attention to the dogs signals and adjust accordingly - are they happy? Nervous? Thirsty? Whining? I speak pretty good dog by listening. During walks, I never allow strangers, especially children, to approach someone’s dog I am in control of who isn’t mine.
About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years. Love taking walks and able to give meds. I am very sensitive to a dogs feelings and enjoy seeing them happy. I'll do whatever it takes. I am retired so I have plenty of time to spend and play with my furry friends! I'll be staying at your home, so I will stay close in the community. I also love to help people with their garden! I am great at following all instructions given by the owner. I take them on long walks, playing fetch and cuddling up on the couch with them.
“Very professional and Fenway took to Erica immediately. She was extremely thorough in meeting us as well as reviewing what Fenway would need going forward. Our cat actually came out of hiding to meet and interact with Erica, which was a great sign!”
About: I was given the opportunity to work for a major pet store after moving to Austin, TX which is where I realized how beautiful it is to have a family member with a snout, funny ears, and a wagging tail! Helping others find what they want to spoil their furry companion with was always a joy. Rover was then introduced to me and I have been hooked ever since! Being a pup’s pal has allowed me to learn to socialize and get out into the world outside of retail work environments. Of course, socializing your pup is the goal at the end of the day too, that way we can all better understand the world we live in, but I do believe every heart and soul should get the attention they deserve. I strive to create a small bond with your pet so they know they have a friend and a home away from home. In my lifetime I have had the opportunity to work with a Beagle named Bagel, a precious Chihuahua-Terrier named Nala (R.I.P), and then a wild child, mixed lab-pit, named Chakra. I currently own Journey and Luna who are both incredible terriers not terrors at all lol. A bit about me: Daily exercise and nutrition are very important to me, therefore, I spend most of my free time cooking, cleaning, and exercising. I love the outdoors so you can frequently find me riding my bike on or jogging. Naturally, you and your dog(s) are welcome to join in! While your pup is under my care, we will work towards having the time of our lives (within the allotted time lol). The first thing after waking up would start with the quick backyard potty break, followed by breakfast, and then playtime. Some of my favorite parks in the area are Harry Griffin or Mast Park in Santee. The big, almost theme park for dogs would be Fiesta Island or a nice, clean dog beach. Then of course I would have to bathe your pet because nobody likes a stinky, muddy, or sandy pup! Your dog would also NOT be left alone for more than up to five hours with water, treats, and chew toy! After that, they would get some extra attention and likely play outdoors along with a shower of kindness, smiles, handshakes, and, of course, belly rubs and treats. If misbehavior from your pet should occur, no inhumane discipline will take place. They will simply be startled by a loud sound to alert the pup to stop. Worst case scenario: if they bite or ruin any furniture, you may be held responsible for any damages, but you need not worry! Thanks for reading and also for any positivity sent my way. It helps me continue taking care of your pets, fur babies, best friends, and most loyal companions. I truly enjoy and appreciate the time taken to meet and to work with you and your pet(s). I am fully available to your companion. Be it for one hour or one day or even a week! The only obligations I have are, like most, family. I am also in the Army National Guard, which makes me unavailable at unexpected times on rare and seldom occasions. I have a tall, fenced-in yard with edible pet grass designed explicitly for your dog(s) to potty-train. On the extra hot days, a comfy off-ground cot with a cooling mat and shaded canopy is available, along with a small pool of water for your dog to enjoy while they are here with me. No burned paws or dehydrated pets allowed :-P I also have plenty of chew toys and energy to entertain your dog with fetch, tug a war, and lots of outdoor running. Lastly, I offer a bed in a comfortable kennel for dogs with no severe behavior issues such as yelping, whining, and barking, mostly puppy's still learning the basics such as potty training. Dogs will be separated and placed in a kennel during short, unsupervised moments, such as quick runs to the store or during feeding time.

“Savannah took great care of my pooches. This was the first time being apart from them overnight, so I was a little nervous. She gave several update pics and made sure my two were comfortable and didn't stress about being away from me. One of them is pretty reactive to other dogs, but her and husband were able to walk both pooches without any issues. I look forward to booking with Savannah again in the future.”
“Erica took excellent care of my 14 year old puppy who recently had vertigo. I was not worried at all while I was away, I knew Iko was in good hands. She kept me updated with lots of messages and pictures. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“Trent and his wife took great care of my dog. They even sent me photos of her playing with their dogs. She came back spent and couldn’t get her off her bed. LOL 🤣 A tired dog is a happy dog. LOL 🤣”
“Jennifer is quite possibly the worlds best pet sitter. We are somewhat obsessed with our dog so picking someone to leave her with was not a decision we came to lightly. However Jenn makes it SO easy because she is so incredibly good to our dog. She’s wonderful and we just can’t recommend her enough.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care they provided for our girl! We were nervous about leaving her for an extended time because of her energy level, but she settled right in and had the best time. The updates and pictures they sent were incredibly reassuring and showed us just how much fun she was having. Knowing she was happy and in such good hands made our trip so much easier. We will absolutely be using them again whenever we go out of town! 🐾”
“I can't thank Melanie enough for taking such wonderful care of Gunny while I was out of town! From her swift response to my initial inquiry to her warm welcome when we arrived, the entire experience was fantastic. Melanie made Gunny feel right at home, and I truly appreciated the daily updates she sent - they gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Her home provided a clean, safe environment where Gunny could relax and enjoy himself. It was so comforting to see how well Gunny got along with Melanie's dog! Always nice to see him make new friends and enjoy some canine companionship during his stay. It was such a pleasant surprise to discover how much Melanie and I have in common! Those connections made me feel even more comfortable leaving Gunny in her care. I would absolutely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for pet care, and I'll definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Melanie, for going above and beyond to make our experience so positive!”
“Monique was such a good sitter for our dog. She updated us daily and sent lots of pictures! She took really good care of our dog who has bad anxiety. We will definitely be using her again!”
“We loved Erika! Our pup enjoyed being so well taken care of, lounging in the sun in her very cute and secure yard, and getting all the snuggles and playtime he wanted. We look forward to booking with her again.”
“We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. From the initial meet and greet, they were warm, professional, and took the time to really understand our dog’s needs, routines, and quirks. Communication was excellent throughout—clear expectations upfront and consistent updates during the overnight stay, which gave us real peace of mind. Their space is clean, safe, and very dog-friendly, with plenty of room for the dogs to relax and play. It was clear they prioritize the well-being of every dog in their care, paying close attention to behavior, comfort, and individual needs. We especially appreciated how attentive and patient they were, making sure our dog felt at ease in a new environment. They also went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like photos and updates, and were very responsive to any questions we had. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and treat them like their own. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.”
“Good experience. Everything went smooth, my dog came back happy and healthy. Communication was good, i received pictures of my dog along the way and i could tell that the whole family loves animals. The price was fair as well. I would book again.”
“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”
“Kirsten took wonderful care of my dog Ivy while I was away. She was very conscientious and made sure that Ivy, who was recovering from being spayed, was happy and not overactive. I have already booked Ivy’s next stay! Thank you Kirsten!”
“Chai had her first stay with Todd and Bill. And it was the first time we have used Rover. Bill was very communicative during the whole process which made it very easy for us. He also sent pictures of Chai playing in the backyard with the other dogs and gave us a status report of the visit, all of which were comforting for us, knowing she was in good hands!”
