Highly-rated overnight sitters - Cook
“Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!”
“Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰”
“Could not have asked for a better experience for Cooper! Loved the photos and updates. I could tell he was happy and did not worry about him and really enjoyed my trip. She welcomed him as part of her family!”
“Amber was a rockstar. We are always nervous to leave our senior chiweenie with anyone new because he is very skiddish. He opened up to Amber, and her family was patient as he took more time to become comfy around them. She took him on nice walks and followed the scheduled to a tee. We appreciate the constant communication and honesty Amber provided about Franklin during his stay. We will 100% book Amber again to care for our buddy.”
“Andrew and his family took great care of Luna. She seems to have settled in quickly with his family of people and pups and came home happy. Would absolutely book with him again.”

“Bethany was great! She took great care of my dogs during our family vacation. She was easy and willing to do a meet and greet before booking. She was very easy to work with for scheduling, drop off, and pick up. Her kids seemed great, too! Would definitely book her again.”
“From the moment we met her and she welcomed us into her home, we knew she would be a perfect fit for us and our Molly. She brings your pet into her life and her family and takes care of them. You couldn’t ask for anything more. She sent pictures and kept in contact. I already asked to book her again!! It was huge relief and we are grateful for her!”
“Rachel and her daughter, Grace, took great care of my dog Buster. They made him feel part of the family and I could see how happy Buster was from the pictures I received. They are a fantastic dog sitter!”
“Rosemarie and her husband were very flexible and accommodating to help care for our pup, Rookie! Our family received plenty of updates and pictures. We are so excited to have someone we trust to care for our pup. She is the best of the best! ❤️”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.”
“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“As always, Kathy is so very diligent with updates and communication. These days, our Ella can get very down when we’re away from her - not finishing her food, using the bathroom etc. Ella is forever comfortable with Kathy and is always tuckered for the days following a stay with her. Her yard is absolutely perfect, her home is very clean and she always welcomes with open arms!”
“Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).”
“After having a bad experience at a kennel we found Rover and that’s where we found Kelsey. She was easy to work with and answered all my concerns in timely fashion. She even let me bring my dog to her home first before staying for a meet and greet. She sent videos and texted every day to keep me up to date on how he was doing. We will definitely use her again.”
“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”
“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”

“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”

About: When I was around 7 my mother and I, freshly moved into our new house got our first cat, a Tabby cat, Oscar. He was the moth friendly and loving cat but a bit lonely so soon after we got a kitten Adam. Although more aloof as he got older, he and Oscar were the best of buddies. In high school we got my first kitten Norman. He was my little follower for as long as I could remember. Leaving him with my mother after college was hard but uprooting him from his home was not something I could do. Through the years I have slowly taken in more cats. Currently I have 4, Charles, Maddie, Dexter, and Luna, all which were found on the streets, or crazy enough, at work. I love them dearly and spoil them as much as a can.
“Elyza is the best cat sitter I’ve had by far. She spent a great deal of time ensuring my cat was fed, watered, and loved whilst I was away. Very reliable and kind. 10/10 would recommend!”

Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”
“If we could give Rose and her husband 1000/10 stars we would! We are very picky with where we board our dogs and they fully exceeded our expectations!

We definitely recommend them and will be using them for all of our boarding needs the next time we’re in town!”

About: Hi, I’m Nicole – dog mom, dog lover, and Duke’s human. We’d love to welcome your pup into our home. I’ve been pet sitting for over 20 years and have cared for hundreds of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Your dog is in experienced hands. I know firsthand how stressful it is to find a sitter you can trust – we’ve moved around a lot over the years, caring for dogs across the country and around the world, and we know how hard it is to rebuild that trust with someone new every time. When you book with me, that search is over. Every dog in our care is treated like family, full stop. Our home comes with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can go outside whenever they want – no scheduling, no waiting. Duke is a small guy who grew up around big dogs, so he’s relaxed and unbothered by dogs of any size. He’s great company and an easy housemate for visiting pups. I work remotely, which means your dog gets real attention throughout the day – walks, playtime, and plenty of downtime together. Big or small, shy or social – we’re happy to have them. We can’t wait to meet your pup. Nicole and Duke 🐾 Pet care is woven into my daily life! I work remotely, so I'm home most of the time with my dog, Duke. Our day naturally includes walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and lots of attention. Adding another dog or two just makes our days even better — more walks, more belly rubs, more joy! Caring for pets isn’t an "extra" task for me — it’s part of how I live every day, with lots of love, care, and companionship. 🐾 In my home, pets are treated just like family! They have free roam of the house, a large fenced backyard to play in, and lots of love and attention. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — whether that's meal schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home, and I always tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. Your pup will get plenty of affection, exercise, and of course — treats (if allowed)! 🐶❤️
About: I have been caring for families pets as long as I have been babysitting/nannying for families.

I currently have two cats of my own. I enjoy getting animals outside, being active with them, and providing all the cuddles you would while you are not home. I am pretty flexible in my schedule and would be more than willing to work with you on things as needed. I’m available pretty much anytime. Sometimes advance notice will be needed but I am willing to be as accommodating as possible to fit your needs.

I work as an elementary school teacher during the majority of the year, but I love to help care for your pets when I can!

Following diet instructions, making sure pets get proper play and exercise time, and lots and lots of love are all priorities of mine.

“Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience for Cooper! Loved the photos and updates. I could tell he was happy and did not worry about him and really enjoyed my trip. She welcomed him as part of her family!”
“From the moment we met her and she welcomed us into her home, we knew she would be a perfect fit for us and our Molly. She brings your pet into her life and her family and takes care of them. You couldn’t ask for anything more. She sent pictures and kept in contact. I already asked to book her again!! It was huge relief and we are grateful for her!”
“Rachel and her daughter, Grace, took great care of my dog Buster. They made him feel part of the family and I could see how happy Buster was from the pictures I received. They are a fantastic dog sitter!”
“Rosemarie and her husband were very flexible and accommodating to help care for our pup, Rookie! Our family received plenty of updates and pictures. We are so excited to have someone we trust to care for our pup. She is the best of the best! ❤️”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.”
“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“As always, Kathy is so very diligent with updates and communication. These days, our Ella can get very down when we’re away from her - not finishing her food, using the bathroom etc. Ella is forever comfortable with Kathy and is always tuckered for the days following a stay with her. Her yard is absolutely perfect, her home is very clean and she always welcomes with open arms!”
“After having a bad experience at a kennel we found Rover and that’s where we found Kelsey. She was easy to work with and answered all my concerns in timely fashion. She even let me bring my dog to her home first before staying for a meet and greet. She sent videos and texted every day to keep me up to date on how he was doing. We will definitely use her again.”
“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”
“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”
“Tom and his family took such great care of my dog, Peaches. He provided so many photos and treated her like his own dog. I will definitely entrust him to care for her again!”
“Karen was wonderful! She had my dog for 11 days and kept me updated so well. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone and will definitely be taking my dog to her again!”
“Kirah and Mitch were amazing with Nash! They made sure to send videos and updates every day which we truly appreciate. We can tell our boy was so loved there and had so much fun with their dogs since he’s been sleeping nonstop since he has gotten home. We will for sure be using them in the future!”
“This was our second time with Michelle and Nick, they continue to treat Samson like he’s one of their own! We’ll continue to use them and would highly recommend them too”
