She provided regular updates, which I really appreciated, and it was clear my dog was comfortable and happy in her care. I also love that she doesn’t have young children or other pets, and her yard provided a great space for Franklin to play and relax. Highly recommend—she’s reliable, attentive, and a true dog lover!”

“Edgar and Aaron were fantastic hosts for our dog, Remi. Remi has nerve damage as a result of a surgical complication and needs to wear a brace. Aaron and Edgar were patient in learning how to put on the brace, and conscious of Remi’s needs. We were away for 7 days and we got pictures and an update every day. Remi seemed to have a great time and we know she’s in great hands when she needs to stay with Edgar and Aaron again”
“Our experience with Andreah was wonderful! She is calm and caring, and clearly loves dogs. Best of all, our Maltipoo appears to have enjoyed himself with Andreah and her family.

“Nicole takes her job seriously! She did a wonderful job caring for our 2 kitties! She was very dependable. She was warm & caring to our cats. Sending us pictures of our cats interacting with her made us feel at ease while being away from them! I highly recommend Nicole!!”

“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“Carol is amazing! Rocky absolutely loves her and gave up her belly upon meeting her for the first time. She communicated with me multiple times every day, sent lots of pictures and gave Rocky her steroid pill, which isn't always easy. She made me feel so at peace while I was away. I came home to an immaculate house, as well. We really couldn't be any happier!!!”
“I have always heard about this app but never thought I’d allow anyone near my babies. A death in the family resulted in myself and my usually sitter (sister) needing to travel. I saw that Barbara lived close by (plus had great reviews) a so I decided to give it a try. Worst case I would just have to return early if something went wrong. I was able to travel worry free bc she was excellent at communicating. Barbara was a dream; she eased my anxiety with her daily rover cards. Thank you for caring for my kids.”
“Haley was more than amazing when it came to all our needs. It was very easy to keep in contact with her while we were traveling to Europe. She went above and beyond when we saw on our camera of a stranger trying to go through our mailbox and potentially break in. She called the local police and they were there checking the house immediately. I trust Haley with my fur babies 100% and will be rebooking with her in the future. She is so sweet and we got to meet her before going away. Not only did she feed my cats, but she sat there and gave them special attention, which means a lot to any pet owner. Haley this job was made for you. I can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done!!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend booking with her :)”
“Paz is so great! During our meet & greet she was super thorough, took great notes, and asked great questions. I knew my diabetic cat was in good hands with her. Will be booking her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a true cat lover with hands-on experience caring for kittens and adult cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. Whether your cat needs playtime, feeding routines, litter box cleaning, or just quiet companionship, I will care for them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. Vuelvo a mi trabajo regular en mayo de 2024 así que tengo mucho tiempo libre. Puedo pasear perritos y cuidar gatitos en mi departamento(es un apartamento tipo estudio así que considero que los perritos no estarían a gusto en un espacio de este tamaño) Cuddles and walks are 100% guaranteed ❤️ I’m very careful when taking care of pets, and I’m a calm person, so I pass that energy on to the animals as well.
“Rachel has such a warm and caring energy that I immediately felt at ease leaving my fur baby with a sitter for the first time. I hope to use Rachel as my only sitter in the future. Beautiful and clean home and she’s very knowledgeable about dogs”
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Saya and David while they cared for my miniature dachshund, Astro, for 3 days of daycare. Even before meeting him, they took the time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure they understood his routine, personality, and needs. Throughout his stay, they were incredibly communicative, sending photos and videos that gave me peace of mind and showed just how much fun he was having. It was clear that Astro received plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care (by the second morning, he ran right into their house because he was so excited to see them again)! They were also very flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything convenient around my work schedule. I truly felt that Astro was treated like part of their family. I highly recommend Saya and David to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters, and I will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Chris has taken care of Pinto while I was away traveling. He did an amazing job, i didn’t have to worry even for one moment. He took care of her so well, and I would recommend him to anyone with a pet!”
“Thank you Emily and Christine for taking care of our little Leo yesterday! I can tell he had a great day, playing with his new friends , he was one little tired boy last night! We will be back for sure 🐶🥰”

Whether it’s matching a puppy‘s energy or soothing an older companion, I am dedicated to providing the personalized, tender care that sets me apart. My schedule is intentionally flexible to provide the best possible care for your pet. This means our days can be tailored entirely to your companion's unique needs and normal routine. Whether it's matching morning walk times, sticking to specific meal schedules, or accommodating plenty of play and cuddle breaks, I adapt seamlessly. I work from home, allowing me to offer generous company and attentive supervision throughout the day. You can expect regular photo updates and peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving consistent, loving attention. My single-family home offers a secure and peaceful haven for your pet. The highlight is a fully fenced backyard, serving as a safe, private playground for leashed-free exercise and fresh air—always under my attentive supervision. Indoors, your companion will enjoy a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space dedicated to their comfort. Every guest receives my focused care and companionship, ensuring their stay is not only safe but truly enjoyable and tailored to their needs.
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”
“Dante was an amazing caretaker! I received photo updates throughout her stay as she got to enjoy playing with his lil Frenchie. I received a lovely report upon pickup too, as she was smiling away!! She loved playing with tennis balls AND she didn’t tear up one of them!! THAT IS A MIRACLE!! My tennis balls have never survived a Belinda! Once Belinda and I arrived home, she went straight to sleep and snoozed all night. She had a GREAT day! Thank you so much, Dante, for your flexibility and for taking great care of my best girl!!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different kinds of animals since I was a teenager. I worked at a zoo in England for a summer when I was a bit younger and from then, I grew a genuine passion for animals. I am currently working from home, so I will be able to provide lots of attention to your dog. I also walk routinely in the morning, evening, and anytime in between. I do not have any pets that live with me so it will just be myself and your dog. I will usually only have 1 dog at a time unless the dogs already know each other or live together.
About: Hi! I am a dedicated dog lover with three years of experience caring for pups. I’ve spent the last few years pet-sitting for families and watching dogs for my friends, and I’ve learned that every dog is unique—some need a long run, while others just want a quiet spot to nap. I pride myself on being calm and patient. I know meeting someone new can be stressful for a dog, so I always take things at their pace to make sure they feel safe and secure from the moment we meet. My Routine & Activity I am a very active person and love staying moving. If you have a high-energy dog who loves to stay active, I’m the perfect match! I live right near a wonderful park, which is where I spend a lot of my time. My routine includes: Morning and afternoon runs: If your dog is a runner, I’d love to have a partner! Park walks: Plenty of fresh air and mental stimulation at the nearby park. Cuddle time: When we aren't out exploring, I am a big fan of cuddling and making sure your dog feels loved and relaxed. What I Offer Tailored care: I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure their specific needs and schedules are met. A safe environment: I provide a calm, safe space where your dog can feel right at home, whether they prefer lounging on the carpet or snuggling up. Plenty of attention: I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your furry family member the focus and affection they deserve while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your pup and providing a fun, safe, and loving experience for them! I work from home, which grants me significant flexibility throughout the day. This allows me to prioritize your dog’s needs, whether that means a quick potty break, a long walk in the nearby park, or a midday run for high-energy pups. In My Home When a dog stays with me, I focus on creating a seamless transition from their usual routine. Since I work from home, I am able to provide constant supervision and companionship. Your dog will have the freedom to lounge comfortably while I work, with plenty of breaks for play and cuddles. Being located right near a park means we can head out for fresh air and exercise whenever they need a boost of energy. In Your Home For drop-in visits or house sitting, my priority is maintaining the environment where your pet feels most secure. I stick closely to the schedule you’ve built, ensuring feedings, walks, and medications happen exactly on time. I use my work-from-home flexibility to spend quality time in your space, providing not just the essentials, but also the mental stimulation and physical activity—like runs or long walks—that keeps dogs happy while their owners are away. My Approach to Care Safety First: I always keep dogs on a leash during outings and stay alert to their body language. Active Engagement: I love going on runs and walks to ensure high-energy dogs get their heart rate up. Open Communication: I provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is having a great time.
“Liz was great with only fur baby! She kept me updated with how Luna was doing throughout the day and sent pictures!! Looking forward to leaving Luna with Liz again, knowing she will be in greats hands!!”
“So happy with the entire experience! Samantha took such good care of my Banjo, sent pictures the entire day and kept me updated on how he was doing. I would definitely recommend and will keep her in mind if I need someone to watch Banjo in the future!”

“Carol is so friendly and really showed our dog Archer wonderful attention. I haven’t felt comfortable with other dog walkers in the past due to bad experiences but Carol put me right at ease and made me feel confident that our dog would be safe and sound while I was traveling. She is very communicative and punctual. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you Carol!”
“Briana booked with us on short notice, assisted us during holiday travel and took great care of our older dog! She was consistently on time, made sure he had his medications and always shared photos. We appreciate her helping to keep him safe and happy while we were away.”
About: Hi, I'm Kaylee! I have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets and genuinely love working with animals. I currently offer dog walking, cat sitting, and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I've owned cats my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, as well as a large, energetic black lab. Because of that, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who pull on leash, are high energy, reactive, nervous, or still learning their manners. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for birds. I've owned parakeets and currently own a cockatiel. I'm also comfortable caring for small pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs and am happy to follow detailed care instructions to keep them comfortable and safe. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am available for most morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I care for pets in their own homes so they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, litter box cleaning, or simply some extra attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I always send detailed updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a good amount of time on my hands. Most days are open in the morning, afternoon, and evening except Wednesday and Friday evenings. I care for pets in their own home so they stay comfortable and stress free. I stick to your routine, handle walks, feeding, and playtime, and make sure they get lots of attention. I also send updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Rachel takes care of my dog as if he were her own! He is always happy to see her and go on his walks. Rachel gives me peace of mind when I’m working and is very trustworthy!”
“Barbara is a very reliable dog walker. She came for a meet and greet before walking my dog. She arrived for the walk at the scheduled time and sent me time-stamped pictures of Sadie. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. To me, the hardest part of having a pet is finding someone to care for them when you need to leave. Finding someone I trusted to care for and love my dog while I was gone was so stressful. I would like to help other pet owners feel comfortable knowing that someone will care for them like their own. I am able to be home with your dog anytime during the week/weekends. I am also available to stop over for walks, playtime, companionship or whatever else they need. I have a mini Bernedoodle who loves to play but is also ok giving other dogs space if needed. He would love to run around with a new friend. I am also able to come to your house and give your dog one on one attention.
“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”
“Jeff is a wonderful walker for our dog Jesse. He's prompt and super responsive on messages, and is willing to work with you on your schedule. Jesse comes back happy from her walks, and I'm really happy to have Jeff's help.”
“Our dog loves Allison! She immediately took to her upon meeting and it is clear that Allison is a great dog walker and a true dog lover. She is very reliable and able to accommodate our busy work schedules.”
“Kim was awesome I needed a last minute dog walker and she responded right away. She was very thoughtful and considerate asking questions about my dog. She kept me notified and sent pictures and she gad a great disposition and personality!! I never met her before and trusted her in my home with my dog and she made me feel reassured and confident I highly recommend her!”
“Chelsea and John showered our pup with love, attention, and care. Their photos and messages let us vacation without any worries about how she was doing. Thank you, Chelsea and John!”

“My husband and I were skeptical to leave our dog with a stranger at first. Nevertheless, all the dog lovers out there, knows that “NO ONE” watches our fur babies unless it is very necessary. Fortunately, Sam and Samuel were amazing people from the moment we met them. They were patient, caring, loving, and flexible with our schedules. They even embraced Knox’s hyperactive temperament. We requested to have a meet-up with them prior to making a decision that soon after my husband and I were appreciative for the care our fur baby would receive. Knox was overly excited to stay with Sam and Samuel from Thursday, 12-5 through Friday, 12-6 overnight. They were very proactive with communication and sent us many updates of how happy, and excited he was to be in their presence. My husband and I loved the interaction they gave to our baby. Awesome dog sitter that loves on our dog. They will be our forever sitter. Thanks to our sitter, Sam and Samuel for taking great care of our boy, Knox. See you very soon!”

“Fantastic experience. Sent us emails and pictures daily, which was so so appreciated. We don’t go away often without our fur babies but next time we will definitely send them back 100%!!!”
