Personalized care for your dog or cat - Gilmore
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Gilmore
“We had a wonderful experience with Evan and his fiancée! They were very attentive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. They cared for our pups like they were their own and kept us updated with regular pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable the entire time — they especially loved spending time with their sweet dog Chloe! We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“My three chihuahuas has been with Tara now for 1 year total of two times and this visit was wonderful as well! Tara is so sweet, attentive and thoughtful throughout my babies stay. Highly recommend Tara as your sitter, great grounds too!”
“Pepper was well cared for and Katie was super patient with his reclusive behavior in a new environment. Very communicative throughout the whole stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Leanne and family were great. My dog had a wonderful time and was well taken care of. Leanne sent me updates and photos each day. My dog has a fitness tracker and I’ve never seen her get so many steps! She loved their yard and slept with Leanne’s son every night.”
“This was our first time leaving our boys with a sitter and Melanie was fantastic. She was quick to respond and put our minds completely at ease during the meet and greet. Both dogs are recent rescues and they don’t always warm up to strangers right away, but they liked Melanie and her husband instantly. They got along well with her dogs, and I could tell they were going to have a great time. We got messages every day while we were away with updates, pictures, and even a video of them. It was a huge relief to know they were in good hands. When we picked them up they were happy to see us, but were clearly having fun. This was our first time using Melanie as a sitter but it won’t be the last!”
“This is our second time using Madhu. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Marguerite and her family for our dog-sitting needs. Our dogs are like our babies, and finding someone who treats them with the same love and care that we do is priceless. Mahda and her family are incredibly caring and sweet, treating our pups like part of their own family. From the very first time we left our dogs with them, we knew they were in the best hands. They always keep us updated with photos and messages, so we never have to worry about how our fur babies are doing. The level of trust we have in them is immense, and it brings us such peace of mind knowing our dogs are happy and well-cared for when we're away. Madhu's home is truly a second home for our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the care they receive. We will continue to rely on them for all our dog-sitting needs and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you, Madhu & Bharath and family, for everything you do for our furry babies.”
“Yingfie watched our two corgis for an extended amount of time and was awesome! She gave lots of updates and sent lots of pictures. The pups looked like they were having a great time. Would definitely book with Yingfei again!”
“The boys loved their stay with Kirsten so much they didn’t want to leave. We received daily updates on how and what the boys were doing. I would definitely recommend!”
“Mara was great with watching our dog Jax and was even able to take him over the holiday vacation for us. She was communicative, nice and accommodating. Jax had a great time and was well taken care of while we were away!”
“Rayna and Zach are awesome! They took care of Reba on a holiday weekend and accepted an extra night last minute when plans changed. My pup was so happy and relaxed when she got home from playing with their dogs all weekend! I’ll definitely book them again!”
“Our Pup loved his time with Dawn! She was very proficient in keeping us up to date with photos. And she was also very flexible on timing for pick up and drop off! Thank you Dawn!”
“Teresa did awesome with my dog. She took her for a walk, outside to play, and let my dog nap on her. My girl has separation anxiety and Teresa made her feel welcomed and comfortable. Thank you!”
“Bryan and his wife are incredible pet sitters! They are very accommodating, flexible, and most importantly love animals. Our dog Dutch does not like to be alone. Going to Bryan's house is perfect as he gets to play with Bryan, his wife and the other dogs/cats. We have left Dutch in Bryan's care twice in the last month. Dutch came home happy with no anxiety each time! It is so comforting to know your pet is being loved and cared for. Bryan and his wife are now the only sitters we will use for our Dutchy Dog!”
“Our doggie, Carmen, had a blast spending the weekend at Debbie’s house. He was very excited to see her when we dropped him off and he loved playing with her pups that are 6 months younger than him. She is his favorite Rover sitter”
“Alicia and her family welcomed our dog with open arms. She sent us regular updates with pictures and videos. Cora enjoyed her stay and we are so grateful for a place for her to go when we need to leave town!”
“By far THE very BEST sitters I've had in the past! Wendy and Kurt took great care of Chase. They sent texts and pic updates during our time away. Chase had a great time and is looking forward to seeing them again. We will definitely be contacting Wendy and Kurt for our next trip. Thank you Rover, Wendy and Kurt!!”

About: Animals have always made sense to me! I love studying their behavior and communication. Dogs and cats warm up to me quickly because I listen to what they are telling me. I've become a reliable pet-sitter for family friends after years of watching their pets. I have experience with cats and dogs, hyperactive and calm. I listen to instructions carefully so I can keep your pet happy and safe.
“Raquel is wonderful! She took great care of my cats and communicated with me about visits. She made daily drop in visits for my cats. I came home to healthy, calm, well taken care of cats. She is very conscientious. I would recommend her and definitely ask her to care for my cats again.”
“Jordyn did an excellent job. She has very patient and loving to our sometimes skittish and bashful kitty. She even got her to come from under the bed and play. Also, Jordyn took my trash out and wiped down the kitchen counters, great job, thanks you very much. I will definitely call Jordyn the next time we are away. I appreciated all you did.”
About: While I have much more experience caring for dogs, I'm also happy to care for cats! Although I don't have as much hands-on experience with cats, I'm eager to learn each cat's unique routine and personality. Whether your cat enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, or simply having someone keep them fed and comfortable, I'll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care while you're away.
“Donovan provided excellent care to our 3 cats over a 2-week period. He always sent pictures and updates with each visit. He was very attentive to our fur babies. Donovan really went above and beyond during his visits. We had some big storms and he even messaged that he’d checked around our home for damage. My mind was at ease knowing our kitties were being looked after by Donovan!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I have walked, watched, boarded, and fed pets for many families. I currently work full-time, but I am home every day by 4pm. I’m completely free in the evenings and weekends, and I am very flexible. I do live in an apartment, so it may be easier for me to take care of your pets in your own home, but that is completely dependent on your needs! :)
“Julie is amazing! Another trip taken knowing our sweet boy was in good hands. A trip with two littles is fun with a touch of hectic but Julie’s wonderful, descriptive updates full of adorable pictures keep me so relieved that our Buzzy (our cute, old man kitty) is all good getting spoiled back home! Our sweet boy needs nightly meds. If you are in need for someone to take care of your sweet baby with any med needs, she’s your girl! Thankful we have her as our trusted sitter!”
“Kathryn was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I was really hesitant about leaving my cat alone, but Kathryn made it so easy. She sent me tons of pictures and my little shy shadow of a cat took to her so quickly. You will not regret hiring her, she is the best!”
“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”
“Giulianna was wonderful to work with. I contacted her at the absolute last minute, and she was still able to accommodate me. She was quick to respond, very professional, and took great care of everything. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
“Rayna did an excellent job with my 18 year old cat. She was very attentive and I appreciated the detailed messages she left me everyday. Although we did not need her to watch our labs you can tell she loves animals just by her demeanor with them. I highly recommend Rayna for your pets.”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for cats! Since I don’t have one of my own, I get so excited whenever I have the chance to care for one. I raised kittens that a stray had in my garage and cared for them . I’ll make sure your cat gets plenty of attention, affection (if they want it!), and excellent care while you’re away.
“This was the first time we had hired someone to watch our cats while away and Lexi did a phenomenal job!! She communicated with us at every visit and was so sweet!! We will definitely be hiring her again any time we are away! She is amazing!”
“Kirsten was fantastic with my two kitties. This was my first time using Rover and I could not be more content! She was extremely thorough and responsive as well as reliable for pictures and updates. Thank you Kirsten!”
About: When your pet stays with us, they’ll never be short on love, attention, or care. My fiancée and I work together as a team, so your furry family member always has someone nearby to meet their needs. Our home provides a safe, active, and welcoming environment, complete with a large, fully fenced backyard for plenty of supervised play and exercise. Whether your dog loves to run, cuddle on the couch, stay by your side every minute, or requires medications and specialized care, we’re experienced and comfortable caring for a wide variety of personalities and needs. Our family includes children who genuinely love animals and enjoy giving pets extra affection, playtime, and companionship. We treat every guest like one of our own, providing personalized care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your best friend is in experienced, caring hands. We can’t wait to meet you and your special companion! Caring for pets is a natural part of our everyday life. I have a flexible work schedule, and my fiancée is a stay-at-home mom, which means your pet is rarely left alone and always has someone nearby to provide care, attention, and companionship. Our daily routine revolves around spending time with the pets in our home—whether that’s supervised playtime in our fenced backyard, relaxing indoors, feeding, walks, cuddle time, or maintaining their normal routine. The only times one of us typically steps away are for brief school drop-offs, pick-ups, or our children’s sports activities, and those outings are usually short. Because someone is almost always home, we’re able to provide frequent potty breaks, personalized attention, medication if needed, and plenty of love throughout the day. We strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and like they’re part of our family during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our highest priorities. Our home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy under supervision. Inside, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome to relax on the couch, enjoy plenty of cuddles, or simply find a cozy spot to unwind. For dogs who are crate trained or prefer having their own quiet space, we have additional crates available where they can relax with their favorite blanket or toy. With a two-story home, a finished basement, and multiple living areas, we’re able to accommodate a variety of personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves being in the middle of the action or needs a calmer environment while they settle in, we can provide a space where they feel safe and comfortable. Every pet is different, and we take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so we can provide personalized care throughout their stay. Our goal is for your pet to feel like they’re on their own vacation while you enjoy yours with complete peace of mind.

“Tara was great. Our first ever using Rover and we couldn’t be happier! We were able to enjoy the morning and afternoon knowing our precious dog was well taking care of of. Thank you so much Tara!!!”
“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were friendly, responsible, and flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. My dogs came home happy and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”
“Wendy and her husband did a terrific job of watching my little guy Toby. You can tell immediately they are dog lovers and treated Toby just as one of theirs or better! I would definitely recommend Wendy if you're looking for a good dog sitter.”
“My family and I were traveling with our dog and wanted to have an option for doggy day care. Kirsten was an excellent choice! We felt confident that our dog was having fun on her vacation day with Kirsten, while we enjoyed some tourist attractions that weren't pet- friendly! Thanks to Kirsten, I will definitely use Rover.com again!”
“Leo had a wonderful time with Harkiran and we were genuinely surprised that he finished his food. Harkiran shared lot of pictures and is very flexible with pick up times.”
“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”
About: I’m a devoted dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I raised one of my English Bulldogs through all 13 years of his life and currently care for my active four-year-old bulldog every day. My experience has taught me how important patience, consistency, and personalized care are in helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, cuddle time, companionship, or playtime, I’ll treat them like my own dog and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 😊 I work remotely from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and companionship. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and love making pets feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they are comfortable at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have had my 2 dogs since they are 8 weeks old. I would be so happy to look after your babies. I have a fenced yard with protection from dogs getting out. I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.
About: I am a lover of all pets. Young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes. Even a play at the park. Your pooch will be pampered here. Experienced sitter. I am at home all the time. My husband works from home. All pets are loved all the day here. Me and my husband are grown up with dogs and we have our own sweet little fur daughter and want to get and share love to more fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly trained dog to keep your baby company. My kids love fur. We walk, jog and can adapt as per your baby needs.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, not just my own, but also those friends and family. Every time someone traveled or needed support, I'd take care of their dogs, turtle, fish and most recently cats. A year ago, I decide to offer that same care (in a formal way) to other families, just like others have done for me when I couldn't be home. Knowing someone loving and trustworthy is with your pets makes a difference. That's what I offer: presence, love, and support, so your pets feel safe and seen, even when you can't be there. As a life insurance agent working from home, I'm blessed with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, for both my family and the pets I care for. I'm a mother of 3 independent and loving daughters (ages 9,13, and 15) who have grown up around pets, and our routine flows in a way that supports my ability to offer calm, focused care, which allow me to be able to dedicate myself with love, presence and intention to the pets whose families trust me. I know what it feels like to open your home and trust someone with your pets (I've been in that side too) it's a big deal. That's why I show up with love, respect, and warm heart. I talk to your pets, care for them gently, and treat them like family, because that's what they are. I'm not just there to feed them or walk them, I'm there to make sure they feel safe, seen, and love until your return.
About: Hi! I’m Alizée, a stay-at-home mom in St. Peters offering loving, personalized in-home dog care in a calm and safe family setting. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks—no long hours alone. At the very maximum and on special occasions, I may be gone a maximum of 2h a day. I share my home with two sweet senior female Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. Their gentle presence helps create a calm, dog-friendly environment, and I’m very attentive to comfort, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I also bring a healthcare background to my pet care: I worked for 6 years as a nursing assistant and phlebotomist, which means I’m comfortable and experienced with special care needs, including oral medications, injections/shots, and close monitoring for senior or medically sensitive pets. What your dog will enjoy here: 🐾 A safe fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks - no chemicals are used in our yard and we remove dog's waste every other day. 🌳 Daily walks and outings near our local park 🏡 A cozy home environment—never a kennel 📸 Daily photo and video updates ❤️ Plenty of affection, supervision, and personalized care I intentionally keep the number of dogs I host to one at the time (or multiple from the same family) so every guest gets the attention they deserve and feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to care for small to medium dogs, including puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, adults, and seniors, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Make sure your puppy is comfortable with other small dogs, and children. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! Feel free to ask me any questions, I love what I do and I want my clients to know their puppy will be safe and properly cared for at my house. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all day to care for your fur baby. Rarely away more than 2h at the time, your pup will have all the attention and playtime he needs. Our family wakes up early the morning, before 6.30am so if your puppy sleeps in a kennel, he will be out of it at sunrise. If the weather permits, we go for daily walks at the park and/or in the neighborhood. I adapt my days to your animal. So if your puppy needs more or less walk, more or less yard play, or any specific care, this is not a problem. My clients usually come with their feeding instructions and a feeding schedule for their puppy, and I will be applying all the rules they see fit for their animal. I like to keep your animal on the same routine as at your house to allow less stress on them. I have a fenced yard, two elderly female chihuahuas and a child at home. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, I am always with them. I can easily crate your puppy if needed and I am familiar with the app FI that some of my clients already use. As a healthcare professional for several years, I am comfortable caring for older or sick animals. I provide daily pictures and videos to ease your stress while you are away. We do not use any chemicals in our yard and a very limited amount inside the house. Most of our space is cleaned using steam water. We also allow our own pets on the furnitures and your pup will receive the same privilege if this is in accordance with your own rules. We practice separate feeding time/station and separate sleeping area from our own dogs. Our house is equipped with cameras, inside and outside, allowing me to always have an eye on our animal if needed. During walks I do not allow contact with other dogs, and we stay on paved trails (no wooden areas or swamps) or neighborhood sidewalks. Unless it is an emergency, I do not take the liberty to transport my client's dog in the car. *exception will be made if you ask me to do so*
About: Hi there! I'm a dependable and loving dog sitter currently enjoying my summer break from teaching. With a calm and patient nature (thanks to working with kids year-round!), I’m excited to spend my time caring for your furry family members. Whether it's walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, you can count on me to treat your dog like my own. Let's make your time away stress-free for both you and your dog! I have a free and flexible schedule for the summer that gives me plenty of time to focus on what I love-caring for doggies! Since I’m not juggling a classroom right now, I can give your dog the attention, care and cuddles they deserve. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or just keeping them company while you're away, I’m here and available to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved all summer long. While I do not have a fenced yard, I do live in a beautiful neighborhood that's great for taking long walks (or short walks) whichever your fur friend needs.
About: I love big dogs, little dogs, and all in between. I've had two wonderful Golden Retrievers and I'm looking forward to caring for your furbabies. I'm retired and am now looking forward to an enjoyable career as a pet sitter. I'm available 7 days a week, very flexible schedule. My husband and I are retired and are both huge animal lovers. Our Goldens crossed the Rainbow bridge and petsitting is a way to fill the void they left in our lives. We did have a beautiful cat but she passed away from cancer in September 2025. We no longer have any pets in our home. Since I am retired I'll have lots of time to spoil your pets! I'm an early riser so a walk first thing in the morning is fairly routine. Dogs are taken on short walks 3 or 4 times a day and given lots of love and attention. If owners are ok with it they are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep on my bed.
About: Growing up, I lived on a small farm and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of other peoples pets as well. I’m currently a teacher, and I will have more availability during the the summer. Right now I’m free on the weekends and also some evenings. I have a fenced in yard as well as my own golden doodle. He loves to have friends over and is very friendly and playful. We also have a Ragdoll kitten that is super sweet and friendly.
About: We live on 5 acres, approx 1/3-2/3 acre fenced. I am an experienced, responsible person that is also timely and dependable. Our 2 labs are very spoiled. I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and am experienced with giving pets medications if it is required, as well as feeding them. I also have senior pet experience. Medication & food would need to be provided by pet owners. We can accommodate overnight stays. Pets can be in crates or in beds depending on your/their preference. I treat every pet special. Currently my availability is open. I am an early riser up by 5am daily. I work from home and pets can access a fenced yard. I’m familiar with providing daily meds & special meals/food for pets as well. Our 2 labs are friendly and get along with other dogs. Both our dogs are fixed (spayed & neutered). Our backyard is fenced and secured. Our deck has a ramp (no stairs) so easy access for puppies and senior dogs. When you dog is in our backyard they will be supervised. We allow dogs on our furniture.
“Cameron has done great with our pup Mabel!! He is very patient and thorough and likes to make sure his clients are comfortable with the care and training he provides. Mabel loves going over there and getting to play with JJ and friends. It’s a bonus to have her get some training in too!”
About: Lifelong animal lover!! I grew up with dogs and have a lot of experience caring for animals. I currently have 4 of my own fur babies and fostered dogs for about 10 years. One of my pups is foster fail who is deaf and super smart; I have trained him with sign language. I will love your fur baby as my own and have plenty of experience with all shapes and sizes of breeds. Being a foster Mom comes with extra patience and care because many dogs come in broken down and my job is to rebuild them on how to be a dog and love them unconditionally. We have a large fenced in back yard with a doggy door for them to run in and out freely. Your pet will be treated as family with extra care while you are away. I currently work from home and my kids are older and don’t need me to run them around anymore. My schedule is flexible and am pretty much available at all time. I do go for walks around the neighborhood which I would love to bring your pup along. Fully fenced yard and plenty of room to play. They are able to roam the house freely and have plenty of play time with my dogs and I. The needs of each dog will be taken very seriously as instructed by you.

I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay. I have lots of experience with high energy dogs , puppies and senior dogs :) I of course will send pics / vid updates .

About: I’m a devoted dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I raised one of my English Bulldogs through all 13 years of his life and currently care for my active four-year-old bulldog every day.

I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, cuddle time, companionship, or playtime, I’ll treat them like my own dog and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you’re away! 😊 I work remotely from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care throughout the day.

About: I've grown up around 8 dogs and 2 cats total across my family, so I've had experience for around 10 years. I've had friends and family trust me with pet sitting and dog walking, and I have experience with senior dogs! I'm currently finishing my senior year of high school and I participate in my school's band and theater, so some dates may conflict with my availability. On nights I am available (most weekdays and weekends) however, I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I will 1000% keep your fur babies safe at all times. Whatever your home has for safety or what you tell me, I will always use.
About: I have lived my whole life with dogs and I am currently a Dog Mom of 1. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, including a summer job at a local dog + owner fitness facility and volunteering at stray rescue in STL. My pet is also a rescue, so I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra care and comfort. My main focus is to show your pet some extra love while they are patiently waiting for you to return, and to help you as a dog parent feel at peace, knowing your dog is being well taken care of. I work a full time job, but I do have the ability to work from home when needed and a flexible lunch break. I am mostly free between 7:00-8:30 AM or 6:00-9:00 PM M-F, but I am also available during lunch hours (11:00AM-2:00PM) and weekends upon request. It is important to me that I get to know both you and your pet! I want everyone to feel safe and sound during appointments. For first-time customers: I am available for phone or video calls prior to the booking date, as well as in person meet and greets (when scheduled in advance). Afterwards, we can discuss communication preferences during visits and, if requesting regular care, what days/times you would like to book in the future.
About: Whether you need someone to feed/let out your pup during the day, walk them, or just give them some extra love I can be there for you. I have dog sat for many years and I have 1 pup of my own. I have an almost 2 year old beagle. Starting the puppy phase all of again is so fun. I will treat your pup as part of our fur-filled family. I’m pretty flexible, I work most weekdays but my boyfriend is home during the day and can help out when I can’t. We both love dogs and will treat yours as family! My pup gets along get with other dogs and loves to play. My pup is crated at night so I can crate your pup as needed, if you want as well.
About: Hi! I am Lillian and I'm an avid animal lover and would love to hang with your pups or cats!! I have had experience with all ages of dogs and cats and would be comfortable with all age groups. I grew up working with horses, dogs, cats and even nursed wild bunnies to health. I've worked with high energy dogs to the older guys and gals who need some extra coaxing. Some of the animals I've taken care of in the past have needed meds or special food routines ect. so that shouldn't be a issue at all.. I love a long walk or run as well if needed. I look forward to working with you and your pups! I am free all day and would love spending my evenings, mid day or afternoons walking or hangin with your pal. I am available early mornings as well as Sunday and Monday! I currently have three cats and a husky who are bonded and beyond besties. We are avid hikers and campers together and they truly love their adventures. My pup and two cats currently on medication so I am familiar with and comfortable helping out in any way.

“Pepper was well cared for and Katie was super patient with his reclusive behavior in a new environment. Very communicative throughout the whole stay. Would definitely book again!”
“Leanne and family were great. My dog had a wonderful time and was well taken care of. Leanne sent me updates and photos each day. My dog has a fitness tracker and I’ve never seen her get so many steps! She loved their yard and slept with Leanne’s son every night.”
“This is our second time using Madhu. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Marguerite and her family for our dog-sitting needs. Our dogs are like our babies, and finding someone who treats them with the same love and care that we do is priceless. Mahda and her family are incredibly caring and sweet, treating our pups like part of their own family. From the very first time we left our dogs with them, we knew they were in the best hands. They always keep us updated with photos and messages, so we never have to worry about how our fur babies are doing. The level of trust we have in them is immense, and it brings us such peace of mind knowing our dogs are happy and well-cared for when we're away. Madhu's home is truly a second home for our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the care they receive. We will continue to rely on them for all our dog-sitting needs and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you, Madhu & Bharath and family, for everything you do for our furry babies.”

“Cameron is truly a dog whisperer! My pup Louie and I are from Georgia and were completely unfamiliar with the area, but finding Cameron was a blessing! I’ve trusted him to watch my 5-year-old twice now, and I honestly don’t think I could find a more reliable and knowledgeable sitter. Cameron isn’t just a sitter—he’s a trainer too! He’s worked with Louie and me both at his home and at the park, helping address Louie’s past aggression with strangers. The progress has been incredible—our daily walks have become so much easier and more enjoyable! Louie also has severe allergies, and I was initially worried about flare-ups and hives while I was away. But thanks to Cameron’s careful attention and experience, Louie hasn’t had a single issue. I’m beyond grateful for the care and dedication Cameron has shown. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy—especially for your first time—you cannot go wrong with him. You have my word”
