“Rachel did a great job housesitting our 14 year old beagle! Belle was relaxed and happy when we returned home, and the house was clean. I would definitely recommend Rachel to friends/family :-)”

“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”

“Sierra is so very good with our two dogs Poppy and Andie. We forgot to turn off a garden house heat lamp and she took care of that for us. Big thanks! We’re sure Poppy and Andie look forward to her next scheduled appointment.”

“all my fur babies seemed happy and healthy when we came back from my vacation. I got pictures daily which helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. The house was in good order and I have no complaints except Pip seemed disappointed to see me and not Gabriella.”

“Rachel was amazing with our dogs! We had videos and texts daily updating us of our pups. She has a history of dog sitting for years and it’s evidence. We loved having Rachel and cannot wait to have her back.”

“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”
“Noel was wonderful! She took care of my girl like she was her own. She left my house spotless and was super communicative and checked in every day. Would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.
“Dominique was great! Super caring and supportive even tho Archie got sick with stomach issues. Super appreciative of his patience and recommendations to help Archie feel better. Thank you for all you did! Would definitely book with him again!”

“My first rover experience and Autumn did fantastic this past weekend! She was extremely respectful, communicative , caring and patient while taking care of elohim and my place. 1000% would have her sit again and recommend! Thank you Autumn!”

About: I’m a vet tech in the army so I am trained in basic first aid for dogs and cats, as well as giving all types of medications. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs, and some experience with cats. I am in the army currently, I work from 6am-1pm with an hour lunch usually from 11-12. Most weekends I am here but occasionally I travel home to visit family. Other than that I am usually free all afternoon on weekends days and all day on weekends. I am a trained army vet tech and have experience working with and caring for animals. The only services I’m unable to provide are boarding since I am living on base.
“Stefanie is amazing! We’ve had her for in home boarding multiple times and she takes the best care of our fur babies. She goes above and beyond and both our dogs and cat absolutely love her.”

“Jared will genuinely care with love for your pets, whether they are dogs, cats, gerbils or horses. He has a special gift with all animals and for as long as he's available he is my top choice to care for mine, always.”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and have owned them throughout my life. As a student attending school to major in Veterinary Medicine, I want to get the best experience I can day by day. I currently own a doxie right now and she truly deserves the best. I am currently a sophomore student athlete going into my second semester. I want to be able to stay busy and get some experience with a variety of pets by understanding day by day. Also please understand that I will do my best to keep my availability updated, and as a student athlete please have patience with me. Thank you! I believe that caring for an animal is like caring for a child. The attention and care is a priority, as I do have a doxie myself. She is my whole world and she truly deserves the best along with all other pets!
“We cannot thank Mel enough for dog sitting. It is truly amazing to have someone you can fully trust with your fluffy babies when you are away home. They not only give our dogs the best care, but they are flexible with any last minute changes including extending dog sitting. They send us many pictures and videos of them everyday, and keep us updated on everything. We are so lucky and blessed to have found the best dog sitters that we can trust our lives with and will be always going back to them.”


About: I am an experienced animal caregiver with over 2 decades of experience with dogs large and small, puppies and seniors, cats and kittens as well as experience with animals as small as pocket pets like ferrets, as well as animals as large as draft horses! I am very communicative with my clients as my animals are my babies and I want to ensure they are safe and happy while I am away and I ensure my clients are updated with how their furry companion(s) are handling their absence. Due to having 4 dogs and a medium sized cat, I no longer offer boarding at my home however my schedule for house sitting and drop in visits / walks is usually pretty open. Send me a message and we can chat to see if we are a right fit! My years of experience has left me with nothing but positive feedback. I care for others pets as if they were my own. I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record and am always willing to take your pet out for a walk at a trail such as mission reach trails which I live just a few short blocks away from or to a dog park if the client sees fit.
“Beyond impressed! Our puppy was more happy, obedient, and loved than ever. Christina is a beautiful caring soul and any animal Al would be better off after being with her. So grateful we found Christina!”

“My fiancee and I can not say enough great things about Benjamin and how he took care of our furry goons and our house. Our cat and dog seemed to love him and he did a absolutely fantastic job of keeping us updated and the fur kids entertained. We were gone for 3 1/2 weeks in South Africa and came back to 2 happy animals and a very neat house. We told him to knock himself out and help himself to anything in the fridge, freezer or pantry and yet he still replaced some V-8 drinks and Corn Nuts he had consumed. We told him that was un-necessary but he did it anyway. I would absolutely recommend Benjamin to pet or house sit and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of the fur kids and their home. Benjamin, thank you for making us feel good about leaving our fur babies and our home in your hands!”
