“This is the fifth time, I believe, I’ve used Sherry to take care of Marley while I was on an out of town trip, and like the previous times, I cannot be more thankful. I received daily photos and videos of Marley, as well as text updates with how things were going. Sherry treats my baby like her own, and that’s what I want in someone watching my dog while I away. Thank you, Sherry; until next time!”
“When we went to the meet and great I wasn’t sure if the doggies would get along. We all hung in there though and the four dogs worked it out. When we went to drop our two dogs off we allowed time for the doggies to get reacquainted. My understanding is there were no problems while we were away. I would certainly ask Renata to take care of my two dogs again.”
“From drop off to pick up, we felt completely at ease. Cara was so warm and welcoming, and Stanley immediately took to her and her own dogs. Throughout Stanley's stay, Cara kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos. It was so reassuring to see him playing, exploring, and having such a great time. It's such a relief to know he was in such good hands. I absolutely recommend Cara to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again next time we need someone to watch Stanley!”
“Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!”
“Loki had a wonderful stay, well taken care of and I received updates of his care. The caretaker was very responsive and made me feel at ease during his first stay. Will book again in the future.”
“Jessica was so kind and wonderful! She responded very quickly when I had questions or wanted updates on our boys while we were away. They both seemed happy when we picked them up and energetic. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Aislinn took amazing care of our dog Milo!!! She sent lots of photos and checked in to let us know how he was doing. I highly recommend her!!! Thanks for being so sweet to our baby!”
“Amber was a great sitter! Very communicative with pictures and updates on how my dog was behaving during the stay. My dog is so shy but she took good care of her. I’ll definitely recommend Amber and I’ll have her to watch my Aleki again.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with an unknown person. Dina by far exceeded my expectations and constantly shared pictures. Definitely rebooking with her.”
“Brooke is great. We had some worries about our minimally socialized 2 year old German Shepard Dog mix we adopted during the pandemic. But Brooke, her dog and environment turned out to be a great fit for her and our 14 year old pug. Brooke sent pictures and gave updates to ease our concerns. Unfortunately, our pug had a non-emergency recurring health situation start up while with Brooke. She reported the details to us with concern and compassion and without sounding unnecessary alarms prematurely. I highly recommend Brooke.”
“This was my first time using this service. It was a last minute need and Tami was very accommodating and kind. I could not have asked for a better person, home or experience for my little Bella. Tami went above and beyond. Got lots of updates, photos ect. Her home is a good fit, her 2 little fur babies are great. Again a person could not want or expect more.”
“My Smitty had a wonderful time hanging with Beverly and her sweet dogs. I could tell when I dropped him off and when I picked him up that he was cared for by a committed dog owner. You can tell by the way she spoke to my sweet boy. I knew he was in good hands. I will be back the next time my travels take me out of town.”
“Hally provides an exceptional experience for our pup! This is our second time boarding with her, and I highly recommend her to anybody. Lots of playtime, walks, and excellent communication.”
“So great to meet Christy and her family! She took great care of Olie, including walks, pictures and updates. Petunia is adorable! An awesome experience! ❤️🐶”
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Laura was with our dogs while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos, took them on multiple walks each day, and even brought fun toys to keep them engaged. She was incredibly flexible with timing, and I can’t imagine leaving our dogs with anyone else moving forward. Six stars if I could!”
“Tyler was fantastic with my dog, Buddy, while I was overseas. He kept me updated, showed great care, and treated Buddy like his own. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend Tyler for anyone needing a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Rachelle was an amazing dog sitter. She is very kind and caring. She took time to listen to my worries about leaving my fur baby with someone new. It was pretty obvious from the video and photos that Ranger loved being with her and her family. I am definitely going to be finding her again to take care of Ranger!”

“Jessica literally went above and beyond to watch over our fury babies while my husband and I went on vacation. Jessica’s main fur baby was our dog simba but she was kind enough to pop in and check on the baby and big goats as well. We were so nervous going on a vacation as farm owners but she made us so comfortable. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“Rayelle did a wonderful job, as always! It's such a relief knowing that while we're out of town, or cats will get to enjoy daily visits from their buddy 😊. We pretty much trust Rayelle like family at this point. She also keeps excellent communication and, most importantly, truly cares about our precious fur babies. If you're reading this review, then look no further, as Rayelle is pretty much the best that you're gonna find here!”
“This is the second time Melissa is looking after our two cats, one of which has chronic ear and kidney problems and requires quite a lot of care. Melissa is amazing, and we are thankful for all her help. We will definitely book her next time if she is available!”
“New to town and Rover. We had the best experience with Catherine and she put my mind at ease with photos and notes about how Milo was doing. Will definitely be reaching out to her again for our sitting needs!”

“Sherry and her husband are amazing! They have cared for my dog Rosa on multiple occasions while my husband and I have been in town for a few months. Rosa gets so excited when she sees we are heading to their house, which is so reassuring as a dog parent. Sherry and her husband send pictures and videos throughout the day/stay and communicate with you if anything goes on. I can’t recommend them enough if you are in need to watch your dog!”

They took to her immediately and we felt very comfortable leaving our boys with her. Pictures she sent showed they had a good time!”

From a goldfish to a golden retriever, and every animal in between ❤️ I am currently a full time remote employee so I am home 7 days a week. My job offers flexible schedules which allows me the opportunity to go for walks, play at the park, or even toss the ball around in the yard. I live in a townhome and my HOA requires all pets be leashed when outside. However, we have a dog park that is about a half mile away so it is an easy walk there and back.

I have multiple dog beds throughout my home as well as a small crate, and animals are allowed on the furniture (including the bed). I also have a basket full of toys for enrichment and provide a variety of treats (owner permitted) throughout the day. I use a gravity water dispenser so fresh, clean water is available at all times.

About: I have been working with all different types of dogs my whole life. Ive owened Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Recently have been walking and sitting dogs for friends. Dogs have an energy that you don't get from working with any other animal or human. I have found working with dogs makes it more fun to "work". I currently am unable to own my own dog, but am very excited to be able to help other owners out. I also enjoy getting outside and being active. If your dog likes to jog, I don't have a problem doing so. Fetch or the dog parks are also fun alternatives, if I know owners are ok with it. I’m currently working overnight shift (9:45pm-6:15am)Sat-Wed, but have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. I currently don’t have any pets, so I’d love to be able to dote on yours while you’re away. I prefer to sit in the home of the animal that is needing the care, as I feel that makes for an easier transition for the pet.
“Brooke was right on time and I could see she likes what she does. My dogs had a nice walk on a day that I was feeling under the weather and had decided to give Rover a try. She even put up with my Swaggz rolling around under some trees being a big goofy butt.”

About: I grew up on a ranch so plenty of experience with cats and dogs both indoor and outdoor. Young or old, small or large dogs; I can meet the needs of every animal!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and the level of care I put into every pet I watch. I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, and even horses for over 10 years, and I currently pet sit for four dogs regularly. I’m comfortable with puppies, including basic training and routines, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, or medication. I’m extremely responsible, dependable, and always on time. I truly love animals and take my role seriously—I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and fulfilled while their owners are away, not just cared for but genuinely comfortable and loved. Pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I’m happy to do house sitting, extended stays, or regular drop-ins for potty breaks, feeding, walks, and lots of attention and love. I plan my schedule around the pets’ routines to make sure they get consistent care, and I take being reliable and on time very seriously. Making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for is always a priority for me. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routines, whether that’s in my home or in a client’s home. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and attention. I always keep their space clean and safe, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can notice if anything seems off. I’m comfortable giving extra care to puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace or medication. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away.
About: What sets me apart is my background as a veterinary technician. I’m experienced in administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and following detailed care routines. I stay calm in unexpected situations and prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll receive knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to their needs. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible weekday schedule that allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as extended care when needed. My routine allows pets frequent check-ins, consistent feeding times, medication administration, and plenty of attention and supervision. I have multiple areas in my home where your pet can stay either with my pets or separately, depending on their comfort level. Pets are welcome inside, and if they prefer or require crate time, I’m happy to provide a crate as well. I prioritize a calm, safe, and flexible environment tailored to each pet’s needs.
About: I have always had a dog, from when I was a wee little baby until now. Currently have 3 fur babies that I adore with my whole heart. Have always been the one to take care of friends animals when they were away and treated with love. So happy to be part of your dogs world for the time that I'm with them! I have a full time job that allows me flexibility with the schedule, so I'm able to adapt to whatever schedule you need your babies to have the attention they deserve. Whatever you do for your dogs, I'll need to know so I can make sure they receive the best care. They will receive all the love and undivided attention from me regardless of further instructions.

“This is the fifth time, I believe, I’ve used Sherry to take care of Marley while I was on an out of town trip, and like the previous times, I cannot be more thankful. I received daily photos and videos of Marley, as well as text updates with how things were going. Sherry treats my baby like her own, and that’s what I want in someone watching my dog while I away. Thank you, Sherry; until next time!”
“When we went to the meet and great I wasn’t sure if the doggies would get along. We all hung in there though and the four dogs worked it out. When we went to drop our two dogs off we allowed time for the doggies to get reacquainted. My understanding is there were no problems while we were away. I would certainly ask Renata to take care of my two dogs again.”
“From drop off to pick up, we felt completely at ease. Cara was so warm and welcoming, and Stanley immediately took to her and her own dogs. Throughout Stanley's stay, Cara kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos. It was so reassuring to see him playing, exploring, and having such a great time. It's such a relief to know he was in such good hands. I absolutely recommend Cara to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again next time we need someone to watch Stanley!”
“Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!”
“Loki had a wonderful stay, well taken care of and I received updates of his care. The caretaker was very responsive and made me feel at ease during his first stay. Will book again in the future.”
“Jessica was so kind and wonderful! She responded very quickly when I had questions or wanted updates on our boys while we were away. They both seemed happy when we picked them up and energetic. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Aislinn took amazing care of our dog Milo!!! She sent lots of photos and checked in to let us know how he was doing. I highly recommend her!!! Thanks for being so sweet to our baby!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with an unknown person. Dina by far exceeded my expectations and constantly shared pictures. Definitely rebooking with her.”
“Brooke is great. We had some worries about our minimally socialized 2 year old German Shepard Dog mix we adopted during the pandemic. But Brooke, her dog and environment turned out to be a great fit for her and our 14 year old pug. Brooke sent pictures and gave updates to ease our concerns. Unfortunately, our pug had a non-emergency recurring health situation start up while with Brooke. She reported the details to us with concern and compassion and without sounding unnecessary alarms prematurely. I highly recommend Brooke.”
“My Smitty had a wonderful time hanging with Beverly and her sweet dogs. I could tell when I dropped him off and when I picked him up that he was cared for by a committed dog owner. You can tell by the way she spoke to my sweet boy. I knew he was in good hands. I will be back the next time my travels take me out of town.”
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Laura was with our dogs while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and photos, took them on multiple walks each day, and even brought fun toys to keep them engaged. She was incredibly flexible with timing, and I can’t imagine leaving our dogs with anyone else moving forward. Six stars if I could!”
“Tyler was fantastic with my dog, Buddy, while I was overseas. He kept me updated, showed great care, and treated Buddy like his own. I returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend Tyler for anyone needing a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Rachelle was an amazing dog sitter. She is very kind and caring. She took time to listen to my worries about leaving my fur baby with someone new. It was pretty obvious from the video and photos that Ranger loved being with her and her family. I am definitely going to be finding her again to take care of Ranger!”
“Cedar really helped us out by watching our Zelda at the last minute. She sent lots of pictures and communicated with me the whole time. Our Zelda was well loved and taken care of. Thanks again!”
“Jonathan was wonderful with our dogs, and we will definitely use his services again. Our furry children were very comfortable with him and tired and happy when we brought them home.”
“Leaving Rocco and Bella for 14 days (longer than we’ve ever been away from them) wasn’t easy. They’re family. But Lovenda made it feel not just manageable—but completely reassuring. Every afternoon like clockwork, she sent thoughtful updates with photos and little snapshots of their day. Not just “they’re fine” messages, but real glimpses into their adventures—happy faces, outdoor exploring, and the kind of relaxed body language you only see when dogs feel safe and loved. She gave them daily outdoor adventures and a great balance of activity and rest. Her fully fenced yard and the ability for them to move safely between indoor and outdoor spaces gave me huge peace of mind. I never once worried about their safety. What stood out most was how much she genuinely seems to like the dogs she cares for. When I picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly adored. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly invested in your dogs’ wellbeing, Lovenda is a rare find. I would book her again without hesitation.”
“Zabby was absolutely amazing. She gave me frequent updates and my dog was loved so much while I was away. I am so grateful for her treating my pup like family. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Ashley and her husband took great care of our pups. They handled the copious amounts of puppy energy like pros and saved our last-minute trip. We will definitely rebook!”
