“Two words to describe Steph dependable and kind. I booked with Steph about 6 months in advance, she mentioned having experience with animals that have special physical and social needs. She really proved it. She took Max out as often as I asked, every time. She also went a step further and took my energy filled guy on a few walks. She sent me videos/pics as often as we discussed from the beginning. He even played with his toys with her, he never does that!! I also wanted someone who would be home with Max my entire trip away, she kept him company the entire time. Steph was accommodating to the fullest with our schedule and needs. The best part, I arrived home to find Max so calm and joyous (apart from the norm). You could tell his soul was happy and he was the most well taken care of he has ever been!”
“Peter was exceptional. Right before we left one of the dogs was diagnosed with cancer and he went above and beyond to give us updates and deal with issues. Could not have asked for better service or responsiveness. Think the dogs wanted to leave with him”
“Christina did such a great job! I knew coco my pug was well cared for and she sent me pictures and updates. I will ask her to watch coco again and highly recommend! She also left my house spotless! Thank you!!!”
“Devin was so patient with us while we were helicopter parents with our first Rover stay. She was thorough and sent great updates. She was wonderful with communication. We can’t wait to use her again! Thank you, Devin!”
“I will absolutely book with Kyleigh again. My hard to impress 11yo, 85lb pup loved her, made my heart happy I didn’t have to stress over him while away. Our picky cat snuggled right up to her as well.”
About: Aside from owning 4 dogs, 4 cats, and even one bunny, I’ve been a tried and true pet sitter among family friends! I also have experience in senior pet care, as well as caring for blind fur babies! I am a full time Pre-PTA student, so my schedule is very spread out. I’m currently finishing out my pre reqs, so my studying is not too intensive, so I still have time to help out with your pets!! I know it can stress pets out having someone strange in their home, so I try to be as gentle as possible around the home without making too much noise, as well as letting them have their space and needed.
“I needed a last minute sitter for a holiday weekend and Ashlyn was available and excited to help. She was so good with my senior dogs and all of their quirks. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Courtney is wonderful! My cat didn't miss me because Courtney took such good care of her. This meant a lot to me because it was one of the first times I left my cat in someone else's care. I would not hesitate to use Courtney again! Courtney is a caring, conscientious animal sitter. She clearly loves animals. She also left everything spotless! I highly recommend Courtney if you want an animal sitter you can count on to follow your instructions and is dependable, diligent and caring.”
“Saraelizabeth was so amazing! She was able to help us out short notice, our dog Indy LOVED her! Super responsive and gave us great updates. She left our place incredibly clean and tidy, way more she needed to! Would definitely have her dog sit for us again.”
“Hannah did a great job with our senior dogs. My wife and I were away for 5 nights and received great communications and cute photos. One of the nights was the Fourth of July so Hannah had to give extra TLC during inevitable fireworks. She left the house in great shape, too. We could barely tell anyone had even been here! Would hire again for sure!”
“****Kalyne = BEST PET SITTER IN THE WORLD. Kalyne's excellence stems from her ability to care for your angels with intelligence, thoughtfulness, patience, intention, kindness and beyond. She is so sweet and calm. She has a special connection with animals - my little Esther instantly relaxed the moment she met Kalyne. Peace of kind is priceless and Kalyne deserves every dollar that you can tip her. She is the best money I ever spent. Kalyne is the walking definition of trustworthiness. She will be my #1 go-to forever now. So grateful to have crossed paths with her - KALYNE IS A WALKING ANSWERED PRAYER.****”
About: I have been taking care of peoples pets since I was 12 years old. Love all kinds of pets and would love to be your go-to pet sitter!

I will follow all of your suggestions and/or instructions and make sure that I provide the care that your pet needs. Your pets will get the attention and services they need!
“Margaret has sat for our two puppies several times and every time we come home to happy pups. She is professional and communicative. Already have her booked for our next trip.”
About: I grew up with a cat of 14 years and later my family adopted a husky which stole our hearts! Since, I have cared for not only my sisters set of 2 beautiful golden retrievers since they were brought home but other dogs of clients and I currently live with a cat! I am currently a 4th year medical student at UAB. My clinical rotation schedule currently is extremely light for the month of February I after 12 PM. And through March April in the first half of May, I am pretty much fully free. Under my care, pets will be brought outside for a potty breaks or a walk only on a safe leash. No dogs will be brought anywhere near roads or construction where they could get injured.
“Autumn is great! She loved on my dog, took good care of her and sent me updates. She is communicative and caring. She asked about our dog's needs and made sure she was well taken care of!”

I would highly recommend Riley. I used his services as a house sitter to take care of my Pekingese, who is very shy. She warmed up to Riley almost instantly, which is a testament to him. He left my house in the same condition as to when I left it: very clean. I greatly appreciate him taking care of my pet and my house. I would describe Riley as very friendly, honest and reliable. He's obviously a pet lover. What more can you ask for in someone to help you with your pet's needs?
Meredith is truly the best! She is quick to respond, responsible, and sends us lots of pictures with wonderful updates. We always have a peace of mind when we know she is with our fur babies. We have left them multiple times in her hands and she always does a wonderful job! When we return from being away, the house is always in great condition. She cleans up and always makes sure that our fur babies have everything they need before she leaves as well. Meredith never leaves them unattended for a long period of time. We always know that they are being loved, fed, walked and taken care of when she is with them. If you are looking for a sitter or just someone to stop by and feed your pups, walk them or just spend time with them… Look no further! We just love Meredith!
I had an amazing experience with Meg, who stayed at our house and took wonderful care of our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and left the house spotless, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Meg to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Joy stayed with our sweet dog, Scout on Thanksgiving evening. I had given up hope of finding someone to stay with him.. Scout has separation anxiety and can not be left alone. Joy came to the rescue and Scout really liked her right away. She text me pictures of Scout with updates on how he was doing. In one of the pictures I could see that she was sitting on the floor next to Scout and he looked so relaxed and happy. I really thought that was so sweet! Joy was so attentive to Scout and sweet to him. I would love for her to stay with him again!
Danielle was a superstar for our dog Maddie! She managed a 10 day house sitting job perfectly! Dog walks got done per Maddie's usual schedule, and she made sure Maddie got lots of attention. We got pictures and comments daily. Our home was left in perfect condition—Danielle washed the sheets and towels she used and the kitchen was spotless. She even notified us of an unexpected window leak during a heavy rain and took care of maintaining the mess so no worse damage was done. This was a winning situation for us to have peace of mind while away and for Maddie to feel secure during our absence too. We will definitely book her again as a need comes up—and refer her to anyone looking for loving, reliable help.
Mollie was a GREAT caretaker for our 140 lb. Scout and 14-year-old Sierra. She has a great calm presence and we felt very confident leaving our two dogs with her for 7 days. Our big dog never made her nervous and Sierra came out of her shell with Mollie. Why didn't we ever do this before. Mollie took good care of them and all their little quirks, as well as gave them medicine for their old age issues. I'm sure she gave them lots of TLC, too, if the pictures she sent us were any evidence. Thanks, Mollie, for all you did for them, as well as for us, to take good care of them!
Absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog was smitten with her from the start. She gave us frequent updates and took wonderful care of details better than we do ourselves (ha!). There’s nothing better than having peace of mind that while we are on vacation, our boy was having adventures of his own and feeling loved back home. I couldn’t recommend her more.
