“Felice and Ken are incredibly nice and sweet. It is always stressful to leave our pets, especially because one of them loves to run away every chance she gets. I felt very safe leaving our dogs with them, we received a ton of pictures which is always nice.They also administered medication to one of the dogs and Felice was very fast replying to any questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them every time we need.”

“Nikki seemed very knowledgeable sweetheart how to take care of our dog's anxiousness and energy from the get go. It helped a lot that she had a fully fenced yard and no pets of her own when we booked her. From meet and greet to pick up, she made it easy for everyone. We specially appreciated her updates and our dog truly enjoyed staying at her place. We also appreciated the tips and other feedback she gave us, as we are first time pet owners and our dog has some unique needs. Definitely will use her services again.”
“Charles was amazing. Prince had a little issue shortly before his stay, and Charles was wonderful about making sure he received his medication. He kept me updated and even took pictures of Prince and sent them to me, which I really appreciated. Prince looked like he was having a great time and was very comfortable in Charles’s care. I was able to relax and not worry because I knew Prince was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and communication Charles provided. I would definitely recommend Charles and will gladly use him again!”
“Thank you, Kelly! We are very thankful that we can have peace of mind when traveling. Kelly and her family have always been so genuine and caring with our fur baby.”
“Outstanding. Highly recommend. I left my two doggies with Lorenzo when I had to go out of town. They came home happy and tired, which is the sign of a great time. He communicated regularly and sent lots of pictures (which I had asked for). Their big yard was fantastic for my energetic Australian Shepherd/Poodle mixes and I had absolutely no concerns about them while I was away.”
“Jerry took good care of my Morkie Cody! He followed all my requests for his care and kept me updated with frequent photos, so I could have peace of mind and truly enjoy my family vacation. I would recommend Jerry if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter for your pet.”
“Francine is a true dog lover who ensures our dog Camden is well cared for and loved. She has a large backyard for running and fun and shares her home with the dogs so they are comfortable as well. Camden comes home happy and tired whenever he has been there.”
“Odessa was great! This was my very first time using Rover and the first time ever going on a week-long vacation and leaving my dog with someone, so I was super nervous. Odessa was very reassuring. She sent updates and photos of Rozay, which eased my mind and made me feel so much better as the days went by. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her on my next trip.”

“Yeji took great take of Bankrupt in past two weeks. My daughter and I are highly appreciated for that! In the last day, she was very considerate and promised to back up to provide extra care if our flight back was delayed. She also helped bring a strayed cat in our community to a shelter. That is a great deed.”

So glad we found Sophia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”
“Here’s another option with a slightly different tone: Emma did a wonderful job taking care of my pet.

But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions.

“My dog had a great time with Felice. He has stayed with her family many times and he has always been well cared for. Based on his excitement whenever we pull up to her house, I can say with certainty that my dog is happy to spend the day or the night with Felice.”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my Duchess received from Lingli!! From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the daily photo updates—it made being away from Duchess so much easier. Lingli's patience and flexibility, especially with my changing schedule due to meetings, meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely loving toward pets, but she’s exactly that. Highly recommend!”

Lynn is absolutely the best.”
“Katherine was so good with Molly. I was anxious about leaving her for the day because I had never left her at someone else's home before. As soon as I met Katherine for our meet & greet, I knew she would be perfect with Molly. Katharine exudes gentleness and kindness and you can feel the love she has for animals. Molly even warmed up to Bailey which was such a great surprise and relief for me since she hasn't had a whole lot of socialization with other dogs. Thanks again Katherine!”

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Ryan has been such a huge blessing. We walk our neighbor's dog regularly but since I was traveling for two weeks, we asked our neighbor if we could hire a dog walker for that time. Ryan not only managed a big strong dog but willingly accepted the dog's owner walking with him. She has some medical challenges that make it hard for her to walk her dog but she still wants the exercise. He was always early as well as patient, kind and respectful. We will definitely use him again.”

I feel fortunate to say I have been able to place many of these rescues into loving homes, and I still have a great relationship with the pet owners today!

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, medical conditions, and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable. I take the time to understand each pet needs and routine. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I am currently finishing my masters program, which I attend school twice a week for a short time. I am currently a part-time teacher’s assistant twice a week. The days I am at work, I get an hour break where I go and attend the pet and make sure they are ok until I get home in the evening. I have two small dogs of my own. They tend to be yappy which is why I prefer housesitting for the comfort of the other pet. When I housesit I like to stay in communication with the pet parents and update them throughout the day by sending pictures or updates.

“Benny has been to Rodney’s house twice- once for doggy day care and once for boarding. He had a blast there and had tons of fun romping around with Rodney’s pups. Rodney accommodated a slightly different pickup due to ice and snow, which I greatly appreciated. Rodney also didn’t have a problem wiping off Benny’s paws (he had an allergic reaction to some treats right before he went), and his paws looked better when we picked him up. At other boarding facilities when this has happened (we are constantly fighting his allergies as we learn what he can/can’t eat), he has always come home in worse shape than when we left. Not at Rodney’s house. He received loving care during his stay and it showed! We also got tons of pictures from Benny’s stay. Thanks Rodney!”

“Virginia and Steven were outstanding. We boarded our dog with them for a weekend and they were incredibly kind and accommodating when our flight got cancelled and she had to stay an extra night with them, and they didn’t bat an eye at giving her eye drops even though she doesn’t make it easy. Our dog seemed extremely well cared for when she came home. Would definitely rebook!”
“Lakesha and Marshall are wonderful! I could tell they took great care of Bearry Manilow, and they sent me so many pictures which I really appreciated. Also, their dog, Rocco, is adorable and sweet. Highly recommend!”
“HIrut took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. She met up with us ahead of time to ensure that he was comfortable in her space, gave him lots of loving attention, took him on plenty of walks, played with him, and sent us several updates. She also listened carefully to the details of his history of reactivity with some dogs and was prepared to take the steps needed to keep everyone safe. This was our first time leaving him in a sitter's home and we came home to a happy and healthy dog! We're grateful for Hirut's care and we would be happy to ask for her help again.”
“This was our 1st time using Morgan, as our previous sitter had moved out of the area. We were very pleased with her care of our Baby, Bella. She provided daily updates with photos. We WILL use her services again.”
“Jenna and her family were wonderful and patient with my nervous girl. She provided lots of updates and put me and my pup at ease. I know my girl had a great time as she came home happy and calm. I would definitely board with Jenna again!”
