“Nicole helped me out in a big way while I was away at a wedding! I got adorable pictures of my pup and was very happy to hear she took the time to let her warm up. Will definitely rebook with Nicole again, highly recommend!”

“Kathleen is AMAZING! Not only was she super thorough about getting to know our dogs and home, but she was also so kind and thoughtful during her stay. She sent us updates and pictures, and even cleaned up and washed the guest room items and towels before we arrived home! Her kindness and generosity of spirit make her one of a kind!”

“Our family was away for 10 days and Jess took fantastic care of our dog Penny. Penny is a bit standoffish but she cuddled right up to Jess. She took Penny on walks, played with her in the backyard and took her to the park. Would highly recommend.”


“Emily was wonderful with our 10mo puppy, giving him attention and providing enrichment throughout the day, taking him on his midday walk and feeding him lunch. We came home to a happy, wriggly, sleepy puppy. Emily also left the sweetest report card and polaroid shot of Kiwi at the end of the day :)”

“Traci has great energy and will do everything in her power to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable and well taken care of. She is an exceptionally responsible, quick-learning sitter, and an excellent communicator. Plus, she seriously makes the best shortbread cookies I have EVER tasted. We will not hesitate to book her again!”


About: I've been able to care for a wide variety of pets since I was 12, from chickens and parrots to cats and dogs. My neighbors and friends have been able to rely on me to provide their pets with quality care. Im currently working part time, so I have plenty of space in my schedule to be able to take care of your pets while you're away. While I care for your pets I'll make sure to follow any instructions left, and to love and respect them. I will also make sure to play with them for as long as they like.
“Stef rocks! She was an excellent communicator and responsive during the booking process and sitting. She took excellent care of our 3 month old puppy and our home while we were away. It was such a relief to have Stef to care for my pup!”


“Rose was amazing and she took excellent care of Oakley. She communicated with us during our entire trip and sent us pictures along the way. We will definitely be using Rose again!”

“Omar was truly amazing! We were in a crunch after our original dog sitter did not finalize as expected, and Omar stepped in on short notice without hesitation. He confirmed the dates quickly and even made time to meet our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks for two walks before the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. From the beginning, Omar was prompt, professional, trustworthy, and genuinely eager to meet our dogs. During the stay, he kept their schedule consistent and even took them on extra walks, which I know they absolutely loved. He kept us updated throughout, and we always felt confident that our dogs were safe, secure, and well cared for. Omar is not only a great sitter and walker, but also an overall great person. Our dogs loved him, and we would feel completely comfortable having them stay with him anytime we travel. I think we have officially found our recurring sitter and walker. Highly recommend!”

“Devika was prompt and personable and connected with my dog immediately. She kept me updated on his well-being and was great to work with. I had to unexpectedly find someone to watch my dog while I was out and was very lucky to find her.”

“Kept a close eye on my elderly dog with a heart condition. When something looked amiss, she contacted my vet and took my dog to Angel Medical. Chloe's back home, looking good.”

“Alana was so great! She and Winston got along well and I was really happy that she spent time with him. Good pics and I look forward to using her again. Many thanks!”

“We are indebted to Melissa who stayed flexible and cared for our dogs as we fought a Midwest snowstorm that changed travel plans! She was communicative and patient- to have someone so reliable and who are dogs clearly love puts our minds at ease when we have to be away.”

“Ani is a fantastic sitter, she accepted a last minute booking request and was super communicative. She did a great job handling my pup who is very shy at first with new sitters.”


“Laura was amazing with our 17-month-old Samoyed. Casper can be anxious but when I got home I could tell he had bonded with Laura. She gave him lots of love and walks during the day! Highly recommend!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Melissa from Rover. She took amazing care of our dog Luna, who was recovering from knee surgery and needed special attention. Melissa followed our instructions for Luna’s physical therapy three times a day, and kept us updated with photos and messages through the Rover app, which really gave us peace of mind. On top of that, she stayed at our house while we were away and left it spotless. We even came home to a sweet note and a flower on the counter. Melissa truly went above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Natalie did an AMAZING job. My old dog was unfortunately having health issues and Natalie was there to love on her and picked up some medication from the vet to try to help her symptoms. I couldn't have hoped for a better substitute for me being there during this difficult time. If you use Natalie for dog sitting, you are definitely leaving your fur baby in capable AND very empathetic/loving hands.

Sarah was absolutely amazing with Blue! She started by asking all the right questions during the meet and greet. Then, during her in-house stay with Blue, she was communicative, sent great updates, and seemed to genuinely enjoying hanging out with Blue. I would 100% recommend Sarah, and plan to rebook the next time I need a dogsitter!
