“April ‘s facility was very clean and secure. She sent us updated pictures and videos which we appreciated, and enlightened us on some dog training tips. Thank you for taking good care of our Kodiak.”
“Sheri was great. She made sure to send us pictures daily while also making sure our dog got a ton of exercise and attention. Our chocolate lab Daisy and her chocolate lab Sam got along great. She also made sure to clean our dog's ears every day for us since she was having issues with a yeast infection from playing in the ocean. I would recommend her for everybody. ”
“Our pup, Olive, had a great time! Lots of great photos. We felt confident leaving our girl with Suzanne and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”
“Thank you, Liudmila, for taking care of our sweet puppy. She had a wonderful time with you and your family and came home such a happy, calm girl! I really appreciate all the love and care you gave her!”
“Samatha was so wonderful with my doggie Sent us pictures and I could tell he was in excellent hands. Made me feel at ease with leaving him with her. It’s been years since I have left my dog with anyone.”
“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“I cannot recommend Kristin enough. I was honestly very scared to try another sitter because of a previous bad experience, but from the moment we did the meet and greet, Sunny liked them right away, and that gave me so much peace of mind. They took exceptional care of my Sunny and treated her with love and attention. I received daily updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. My Sunny were relaxed, happy, and clearly adored the time with them. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring, Kristin is perfect choice!!!.”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”
“We are so pleased with our decision to have Marshel look after our dog Walter, We didn't know how he would go staying away from us for 9 nights,but Marshel put our minds at ease by sending us pictures and updates every day, It made our holiday less stressful knowing Walter was enjoying his stay there and he was loving being spoilt and getting to play with other dogs. We highly recommend Marshel for anyone wanting a reliable caring dog sitter. We have another trip coming up and are definitely going to have Marshel look after him if she is available.”
“Aarika was absolutely amazing!! She was flexible and communicative through our entire last-minute planning process. She sent daily progress updates and photos of our sweet boy smiling and having so much fun (and getting lots of pats, which he loves!!) We will absolutely be booking with Aarika again! :)”
“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dog. You provided so many pictures to let us know that she was happy and having a wonderful time as a part of your family for the weekend thank you and I am giving you a five star rating because you are worth every star.”
“Fiorella did a wonderful job with my special needs kitty Basil. I recieved multiple photos and updates daily which really gave me peace of mind while my cat was being cared for.”
“Sheri was great! They responded fast and sent updates throughout the day. Prior plans fell through so it was kind of last minute and they were fantastic with both my dogs.”
“Britt and her husband Damon were just amazing. Very considerate and kept us continually informed how our dog was doing. She asked all kind of questions to make sure she did the best by our dog. They were just outstanding.”
“First time using Rover and we lucked out with this last minute booking! Lana and her family are amazing. We were concerned about our Seabass being too anxious at night, but they made him feel very comfortable in their home. Their dog Amy is also very friendly. Seabass got to run around and play with Amy and her kids in their big backyard. He got to see their chickens and enjoyed a bonfire on his first night with them. I appreciate all the updates Lana sent us while we were away. We would definitely have our dog stay at their place again!”
“Bershka and Lionel are seriously the absolute best people to watch your furry friends! They love our cat almost as much as we do and we never have to worry when our cat is with them. Another successful visit on the books! Thank you so much for going above and beyond!”
“Hayley was AWESOME! She went way above and beyond to take care of our pug. Super responsive, and sent lots of pics and updates while we were away. She even bought our pug a little toy, which she totally loves. We highly recommend Hayley. You’re the best! Thanks, Hayley!”
“Teri was perfect! Sienna was well-cared for, kept busy with toys and walks and came home so happy from all of the snuggling. The daily pictures and updates were fantastic. We would totally have Teri watch our dog again!”

About: I don't have children, so animals fill my life. Because I have no children I have a very flexible schedule. I have worked with animals for many years in a kennel setting, as well as in people's homes. When pets are in my home, or I'm at theirs, I am the person who enjoys curling up with them for snuggle or go outside to play ball. I have experience with giving medication, as well as dealing with strict dietary needs. I can work with animals of all sizes and shapes, and temperaments. Hope to treat peoples babies like I would mine. Giving hugs and kisses all the time. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I will not need to leave your animals to go to another job. When I take a job, I’m committed to making the animals as happy as possible while their family is away. Weather permitting I love to play outside with the dogs, spending as much time as we can working off their energy and mine. Outside time is my favorite time.
“Carolann was wonderful. I have a cat (Gator) that is skittish (I am still unable to hold him). With Gator, you have one shot to catch him unaware. If you fail the first time, it becomes a massive challenge with subsequent attempts. I was supposed to drop Gator and his bonded brother off early in the morning and I failed to capture Gator. I was unable to bring the cats over at the pre-scheduled time. Carolann was very patient and accommodating. I was able to bring a cat tree and some other items over the day before. My cats loved being there. Just hanging out watching the birds. They did great! In fact, I had to go through the whole thing again; trying to capture Gator so I could bring him home. AGAIN, Carolann was VERY patient as we plotted and planned the "capture". I'm extremely grateful for her patience and her time. Carolann also provided photos and video clips of my boys while I was out of town. It was great to see them! So happy!.”
“Thank you Dasha, Izzy was in a good mood when we got home and that is always my telltale on how a sitter is, thank you for taking care of our boys! We appreciate you being flexible with the key/garage issue, cleaning up when needed and taking the boys outside when it wasn't even required, Mo sends a wealth of gratitude!”

I'll also check for any signs of stress or discomfort and send you a quick update with photos. Every visit is tailored to your pet's routine and needs.

“Kiley was great for out drop in visits with our cat while we were away. She was easy to communicate with, and made sure that she gave our cat lots of attention while she was there.”
“We arranged for twice a day, one-hour visits. Rachael was amazing! We have 2 big purebred Maine Coon brothers and a a tiny female domestic shorthair from the shelter. She was terrific, and even had to give the female a pill every morning. When we got home the house was still tidy, the kitty boxes were clean, and all 3 of our fur babies were relaxed and happy like they had just spent time with a beloved human relative. I would highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
“Linda popped in to let my pups out for a mid-day potty break. She arrived when she said she would, sent pics of the girls while they were out and locked up when she left. I’ll definitely reach out in the future when a need someone to check on the fur babies.”
“Jordan took incredible care of our two cats while we were out of town! Jordan went above and beyond for us and sent us sweet pictures every drop-in! We definitely will use Jordan again in the future!”
“Dorian was absolutely wonderful! Our kitty was happy to have the company and we even were given a cute printed photo of him from Dorian after the stay. We are excited to have Dorian pop in for doggy walking in a few weeks. :)”

“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of my little ZuZu. I appreciated that she was able to take care of her last minute. I felt like I was leaving her in good hands and I would definitely have Jennifer take care of my puppy again! ☺️”
“Our dog was happy when we dropped her off, showing that she had good memories from her past stay. She was relaxed, tired but happy when we picked her up, so had plenty of play time outside. She has separation anxiety and some insecurities, so it was great to see how comfortable she is there. Very happy with the daycare.”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up in a home full of pets—including cats, dogs, fish, and birds—I developed a deep love and understanding of animals of all kinds. For over a year, I’ve worked at a boarding and grooming facility, where I started in bathing and drying, and then moved into a kennel technician role. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, administering care, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment for each pet in my care.

I’m confident, attentive, and animals are naturally drawn to the calm and positive energy I bring. **What Sets Me Apart** - Over a year of hands-on professional experience in a high-volume pet care setting - Familiarity with a wide range of breeds and temperaments - Experience with special needs and senior pets - Doggy seat belts in my car for safe and secure transportation - Strong attention to cleanliness, health, and emotional wellbeing Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities.

I’m also experienced with giving medications and have a strong understanding of animal body language, which allows me to recognize stress signals and respond appropriately. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I treat every home and animal with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I never had a moment in my life where I did not grow up with out having pets. I have taken care of some of my family pets as well and know how to feed, bathe, and walk animals.

If you are in need of a long/short term walker or someone to check-in on your pet while you are on vacation over the holidays, I am your gal! I have several reviews and recommendations and find a lot of joy in taking care of animals. I believe knowing the personality of the pet will help me determine how I need to show up for them. If they are more of a social animal I will spend a lot of quality time with them. If they like their own space then that's what they will receive from me. I am all about adjusting myself to make them the most comfortable and safe. I am open to discuss different forms of care you require. I have a natural calm spirit that usually immediately makes animals around me feel safe.

“I want to thank Jordan for looking after my two dogs. She was so sweet and helpful. I loved that she was constantly updating about the dogs, and sending pictures and she took the time to play with them, fed them and took them for a walk. She was very patient with the dogs.

I love taking care of dogs, I am experienced in medicine handling and administering, and grooming. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am working part-time and go to school full-time, so I can work with you and we can make figure out our schedules! I’d be more than willing to drop by and take care of your dog, watch them, walk them, and love them! I’ll be flexible with you as long as you’re patient with me! I respect the dog’s boundaries and I try my best to gain their trust before I fully interact with them. If I go to your house I become fully aware of the space the dog has. I will never put your dog in a dangerous position. I am experienced in administering medication to your dog if necessary.
About: I've been taking care of our own three dog rescues for the past three years. If you know rescues, you know how difficult it could be. I have been around dogs my whole life and would like to turn one of my favorite pastimes into a I am currently seeking full time, but in the mean time I have to care for my three dogs morning and night where we feed them kibble in the morning and raw dog food at night. They all get walked at least daily two-three miles. I always ensure proper visual possession of your dog and make sure the leash is secure before leaving property. I do calming circles for about 15-20 minutes before we get started on any walks. I always make sure to have an extra leash on hand while out with your pet in case we run into a stray.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of many ages and personalities, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable with the routines that come with good pet care: consistent feeding schedules, exercise, basic training reinforcement, and paying attention to changes in behavior that might mean a dog needs something. I have experience helping with puppy training basics life patience during walks, reinforcing commands, and keeping them mentally stimulated. I also understand that senior dogs sometimes need gentler exercise, more frequent bathroom breaks, and extra patience. In addition to dogs, I have experience working with animals in a farm environment, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to pay attention to an animal's needs and body language. Because of that background, I'm calm, reliable, and comfortable around animals with different temperaments. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they're my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your animal with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I enjoy spending time outdoors walking dogs, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to stay organized and consistent with feeding times, walks, and check-ins. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is something I look forward to throughout the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a calm environment where they feel secure. In a client's home, I carefully follow the pet's normal routine for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime so they experience as little disruption as possible. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure pets are feeling safe and happy. I respect my clients' homes and keep spaces clean, secure doors and gates, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

“April ‘s facility was very clean and secure. She sent us updated pictures and videos which we appreciated, and enlightened us on some dog training tips. Thank you for taking good care of our Kodiak.”
“Sheri was great. She made sure to send us pictures daily while also making sure our dog got a ton of exercise and attention. Our chocolate lab Daisy and her chocolate lab Sam got along great. She also made sure to clean our dog's ears every day for us since she was having issues with a yeast infection from playing in the ocean. I would recommend her for everybody. ”

“Addy had such a great visit with Bethany! She came home happy and we loved the updates. Knowing she was having a great time and was well cared for gave us the space to relax and enjoy our trip!”
“I cannot recommend Kristin enough. I was honestly very scared to try another sitter because of a previous bad experience, but from the moment we did the meet and greet, Sunny liked them right away, and that gave me so much peace of mind. They took exceptional care of my Sunny and treated her with love and attention. I received daily updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. My Sunny were relaxed, happy, and clearly adored the time with them. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly caring, Kristin is perfect choice!!!.”
“My dogs mean everything to me and it can be difficult to find a dog sitter who understands the assignment. Allison understood the assignment. My girls are 10 years apart in age are different in temperament and personality. To me, it doesn’t take a lot to care for them but I never know if that is different in the eyes of the sitter. Allison welcomed them both into her home and cared for them just as I would. She provided updates and photos throughout the stay. She was also flexible in drop off time as I had a brain fart when initially booking the stay. I will definitely choose Allison again for future stays!”

“First time using Rover and we lucked out with this last minute booking! Lana and her family are amazing. We were concerned about our Seabass being too anxious at night, but they made him feel very comfortable in their home. Their dog Amy is also very friendly. Seabass got to run around and play with Amy and her kids in their big backyard. He got to see their chickens and enjoyed a bonfire on his first night with them. I appreciate all the updates Lana sent us while we were away. We would definitely have our dog stay at their place again!”
