“Sophie, with a lifetime of experience taking care of dogs, was wonderful with our yellow Lab. Her home has an ample backyard area and is quite welcoming to dogs. Her Boston Terrier plays very nicely with others. Our Lab got lots of love and attention from Sophie, including regular walks in the low-traffic neighborhood near Dominican U. It is abundantly clear that Sophie, an energetic college student trying to earn some money on Rover, could not be more motivated to take phenomenal care of your cherished companion. She did so with our 4 year-old Lab.”
“We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.”
“Tamara was a great host for our dog Pikachu! She sent pictures throughout his stay and went above and beyond to make him comfortable. We were able to fully relax knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely use her for boarding in the future.”
“Alex and Bri were great! Our dog Casper looked super happy and content in their cozy home. Sent tons of pics and provided timely updates. Would consider using them again as a boarding option.”
“Lillie was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her! It was our first time leaving Bear with her- she sent lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind. Bear has issues with anxiety but came home a very happy boy! Thank you Lillie!”
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Nadya was amazing with Bowie! She sent photos and videos, her space was beautiful with a big yard and comfortable indoor area and was so flexible with drop off and pick up. We will without a doubt have Nadya watch Bowie again.”
“Our dogs have never been happier! They loved the massive fenced yard and all the playtime. I loved the photos of them romping that Dustin kindly sent often. Can’t wait to have them board again.”
“Wenxin took such good care of my dog Smiley, she showered Smiley with love, care, and patience. Smiley really enjoyed every minute. Strongly recommend Wenxin for anyone who needs help with their dog.”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received. Mila was communicative, attentive to our instructions, and clearly took great care of our dog while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so well. We’re grateful to have found someone we can trust and would gladly book with her again.”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“Devrie was everything you could ask for and more. She took special care of Khali on my short work trip and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Devrie gave Khali so much love and attention it was very clear on my return that Khali wanted to stay....(That was a bittersweet moment). They had multiple walks a day and Devrie sent plenty of photos showing how much Khali was enjoying her time with Devrie. I absolutely recommend Devrie’s services to anyone and I look forward to working with her again! Thank you so much Devrie!!”
“Patrick and his wife were exactly what we needed and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away on vacation. Patrick was very familiar with how to care for our dog, who struggles with dog aggression and loves to chase every squirrel in sight! Our dog also does not do well sitting around all day, so Patrick and his wife made sure she stayed active and happy by taking her on daily walks, trips to the beach, and treating Dash like one of their own. Patrick and his wife come highly recommended by us, and this 5-star review is very well deserved. Thank you, Patrick! We will absolutely be back again 🙂”
“I'm really pleased with my dog Molly's experience with Heather and Calob. They are great communicators, and I believe Molly had a good time and was well-cared-for.”

“Erin is an amazing pet sitter. She’s super responsible, attentive, responsive, and empathetic, which made it so much easier for me to be away. She took care of my cat just as well as I would, following my instructions in detail and, sometimes, even exceeding my expectations. She also kept the house very clean, I came back and everything looked spotless. What I really appreciated was the communication. She sent updates and photos minimum 2-3 times a day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. On top of that, she watered my plants and even picked up my cat’s medication, which was truly above and beyond. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her.”
“Audrey did an amazing job looking after my cats while my husband and I were on our honeymoon. Audrey always arrived on time, communicated with me while she was caring for our cats, and promptly left notes/updates following her check ins. Audrey was even able to get one of my cats who is incredibly shy to warm up to her after just a few visits! I would definitely recommend Audrey as a cat sitter and will definitely be reaching back out in the future 😊”
“I recently had Madison house sit and pet sit for nearly two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She took wonderful care of my cat, playing with him multiple times a day and regularly sending pictures so I always knew how he was doing. It's clear she genuinely loves animals. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, just as I had left him. Madison was also incredibly responsive throughout the stay. Any time I had a question, she replied quickly and put my mind at ease. She also left the house in great shape, which I really appreciated. Leaving your pet with someone new can be a worrisome experience, but I never felt anxious once with Madison. I was completely at ease knowing my cat and home were in such capable, caring hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter, and I will absolutely be hiring her again without hesitation.”
About: I had taken care of 8 parakeets and a dog when I was little. I’ve also taken care of dogs from my previous coworkers and family. I’m pretty open during weekends. My work is flexible to work from home on Fridays so I can do Friday through Sunday to take care of your furry family member. I have a fenced yard that is a pretty good size for small and big dogs. I love taking dogs on walk that can last up to an hour! If the dog is energetic, I love playing tag or play catch.
“This was Kat's first time sitting for our kitten Peanut, and she exceeded our expectations across the board. Communication was excellent — she shared regular updates and sent us genuinely fun photos that we loved getting throughout the trip. When we hit an unexpected schedule change, Kat was completely accommodating and made it a non-issue. The house was just as clean as we left it. She followed everything we asked, from the litter box routine to stripping the bed before we got back. Most importantly, Peanut was visibly happy and well-adjusted when we returned — you can always tell when a sitter has actually engaged with your pet, and she clearly had. Peanut was so comfortable with Kat that we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely have her sit for Peanut again. Highly recommend.”
“Edward did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty while I was on vacation! St James was happy and relaxed when I got home and that is a good sign all his needs were met. Edward’s communication was excellent and I felt very confident my little one was in great hands. I will definitely rebook with Edward next time I am in need of a sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs and know firsthand how much they become part of the family. Our beloved dogs, Bonbon and Bambii, were like siblings to me, and I loved spending time with them on walks, hikes, and playtime adventures. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, I miss that special connection and would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your furry companions. I also have experience looking after my sister's dog, Toast, and always enjoy giving pets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I will treat your pets with the same love and care I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and being around animals. I love starting my mornings with a walk, hike, or run, and I'm available between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM for dogs who need exercise, fresh air, and attention before the day begins. In the evenings, I enjoy going on walks after work, usually from 7:00 PM onward. This gives me dedicated time to focus on your pet, whether that means a relaxing walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Having grown up with dogs and caring for my sister's dog, Toast, I understand that pets thrive on consistency, affection, and quality time. Caring for pets doesn't feel like a chore to me, it's something I genuinely look forward to and enjoy incorporating into my weekly routine.🐶🤍 When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. I believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life, and cats have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up our home was often ruled by as many as 5 cats at a time, and as an adult I've been lucky enough to share my life with 3 cats of my own. Caring for them through every stage of life has taught me a lot about patience, trust and the eclectic personalities that make cats so wonderful. I love learning about animal behavior and body language so I can help pets feel safe, understood and comfortable. I believe in meeting them where they are and earning their trust at their own pace, no matter the personality type.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for all my life. Since I was little my family always had a cat in the house and I continue on this lifestyle by owning two precious cats of my own. I especially love meeting cats because of their ranging temperaments and having to typically earn their trust rather than being instantly friendly. I always ensure cats feeding stations and litter boxes are clean, as I understand some cats can be quite fickle about sanitary conditions of their habitats.
About: I’ve also been cat sitting for several years and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I’m happy to provide the care they need while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, administering medication when needed, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable in their own home. I’ll always respect your cat’s routine and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have pet sat for my friends and family many many times I make sure the pets are fed, walked and are happy in the comfort of their own home. I have a flexible schedule as I am entering college. I am willing to work around school and provide great service to my fellow pet lovers. Walking daily, feeding on time, baths (if needed) and playtime. I want pets to feel secure and safe, even when their family is out of town.
“Bethany did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Vanya! Vanya is a very shy girl but she warmed up to Bethany immediately. Bethany was super communicative and so, so friendly! highly recommend her!”

“Murphy has her second visit with Shayla and Jacob today and we are so grateful for their good care. I feel like she’s in great hands there. My big baby even got to meet a cat for the first time today! Thank you so much, she’s exhausted but seems very content.”
“Robert and Sheila were fantastic! They were responsive and easy to work and took great care of our little one, Shelby. Their sweet dog Yoti was patient with our timid and over-attached dog Shelby. Yoti is friendly and welcoming……just like Robert and Sheila. Their home had a beautiful back yard where the dogs can roam together, and Rob is there with them all day while he works. We were fortunate to find them.”
“My nervous dogs were so happy staying with Alex and Bri for the day! I got lots of pictures of them enjoying snuggles and playtime so I knew they were having a great time. We will definitely be back!”
“Susana was wonderful with our pup! She is very quick to respond to any messages and sent pictures and videos of my boy. She has a great outdoor area for dogs to play in, and space in the house to explore. My pup came home happy and smiling after 2 days of day care with Susana. I highly recommend her for day care.”

I adore puppies due to their excitable nature and high energy! Cats have a special place in my heart because of the memories I share with the cats I’ve had but if you were to ask me if I was a cat or dog person; I’d say, “Why can’t you be both?” LGBTQIA+ friendly I graduated from college with a degree in anthropology and am now back in my hometown working a part-time contract job.

Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a longer walk, or some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I can often accommodate last-minute requests as well. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and walking preferences. During every visit or walk, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, gets plenty of attention, and returns home happy. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.

“Tamara was a great host for our dog Pikachu! She sent pictures throughout his stay and went above and beyond to make him comfortable. We were able to fully relax knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely use her for boarding in the future.”
“Lillie was wonderful, and I would highly recommend her! It was our first time leaving Bear with her- she sent lots of photos and videos which gave us peace of mind. Bear has issues with anxiety but came home a very happy boy! Thank you Lillie!”
“We can’t recommend Allyse and Justin enough for dog sitting. From the moment we met them, it was very easy to tell that Allyse and Justin were calm, caring, and attentive to our dogs needs. Allyse provided excellent communication throughout the entire experience. We received daily updates, helping us feel calm and at ease being away from our dogs. We were very comfortable knowing Allyse and Justin were giving our dogs attention and caring for them in our absence. We can’t recommend or thank them enough. We would absolutely book with Allyse again!”
“Nadya was amazing with Bowie! She sent photos and videos, her space was beautiful with a big yard and comfortable indoor area and was so flexible with drop off and pick up. We will without a doubt have Nadya watch Bowie again.”
“Our dogs have never been happier! They loved the massive fenced yard and all the playtime. I loved the photos of them romping that Dustin kindly sent often. Can’t wait to have them board again.”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received. Mila was communicative, attentive to our instructions, and clearly took great care of our dog while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so well. We’re grateful to have found someone we can trust and would gladly book with her again.”
“Devrie was everything you could ask for and more. She took special care of Khali on my short work trip and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Devrie gave Khali so much love and attention it was very clear on my return that Khali wanted to stay....(That was a bittersweet moment). They had multiple walks a day and Devrie sent plenty of photos showing how much Khali was enjoying her time with Devrie. I absolutely recommend Devrie’s services to anyone and I look forward to working with her again! Thank you so much Devrie!!”
“Deborah was fantastic! She was nice enough to accommodate us same day and could not have been nicer. We could tell instantly when we arrived that she was going to take great care of our dog Otto. She took him on walks, took him to the beach, sent lots of great photos, and even bought him some pup cups! Her children were also absolutely lovely and obviously made Otto feel comfortable and welcome. Highly recommend using Deborah services! You cannot go wrong!”
“Julie and Adam are perfect sitters! They were thoughtful, reliable, and great with my dog. He seemed very happy and comfortable with them. I’d definitely book with them again!”
“NOT ONLY did Jeanette and her husband respond fast but also took Callie with only a couple hr short notice , I knew the moment I dropped off Callie she was in good hands, she kept a great line of open communication , they were on top of everything, with plenty of pictures and updates, i Love my dog ( attitude and all ) but believe me when i say she can be a little much to handle for some, I honestly can say any doubt or worry I had at first went away because they definitely know what they are doing, can’t thank them enough for understanding my situation and taking and caring for Callie , thank you guys again”
