“I am immensely grateful for the exceptional dog sitting experience provided by Molly. From the moment I left Zora (my dog) in her care, it was clear that she possess a deep love for animals. Throughout my time away, Molly kept me updated with regular messages and photos, alleviating any worries and allowing me to fully enjoy my time knowing Zora was in the best hands. Molly’s attention to detail and understanding of my dog's needs, from dietary preferences to playtime routines, is truly remarkable. I definitely recommend Molly to anyone seeking a dedicated and caring dog sitter; her genuine commitment to the well-being and happiness of Zora companions is truly commendable.”

“Wonderful sitter! Dorris was so kind to take on an 11 week puppy for an afternoon. Another pup helped socialize and tire our puppy out. Judging from the huge nap, Dooner had a fantastic time. Dorris had a great, calm energy and we would definitely book with her again.”

“Aly is SO good with animals. She is the kind of person who will stop and greet every animal she meets and she carries that love into caregiving as well. She has looked after my dog Louie countless times now and he is in love with her! She always respects my wishes about walk times, feeding schedules, and treats and gives him tons of attention. I highly recommend you reach out and use her!”

“Allison was such an amazing and flexible puppy sitter! She was available last minute and even offered to drop her off at my apartment at the end of the day! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there - she sent lots of photos of her playing and snuggling on the couch and came back totally exhausted. We would highly recommend Allison and will be using her again in the future!”

“Anna was professional, responsible and my dogs loved her. She responded promptly and sent me great photos of my fur babies! I plan to hire her for future vacations!”

About: A grew up in the family that treated dogs as extended family. I have dog sat many times through Rover but I am just now getting back into it after I adopted my 20 lb dachshund/min pin/pug mix named Buffy. She loves other dogs just like me, especially ones her size! But it is always good to meet beforehand because you never know how two dogs will vibe. Feel free to reach out and set something up! Every day I take my dog for walks and to the park sometimes. I’m am a recent graduate, job hunting so there’s lots of flexibility. I take Buffy out morning, noon, afternoon, and night. There’s several parks very close! No yard but I make up for it in long walks and lots of play. Dogs in my home are welcome on the furniture and encouraged to cuddle. Let me know if it’s different at your home, I respect house rules!
