We felt comfortable right away and felt they would be a great fit to watch our dog Uno for a week and they exceeded our expectations!

About: *no longer accepting mid week recurring bookings due to 9-5 job* Hi there! My name is Bre. I have been taking care of pets on and off since I was about 16 and doing rover for a couple of years now. In my teen years I regularly took care of 2 dogs and 3 cats for a family during their vacations. I currently have a 15 year old dog named Kylie. She is definitely a handful but she is my whole world. I am a huge animal person and always have been so I’m more than happy to help families who need it. I travel for work every 2-3 months or so so my schedule is hit or miss. I’m happy to start with meet and greets if that would make you feel more comfortable. I travel roughly every 2-3 months for about a week at a time for work. When I am not traveling I am sometimes able to work from home, though my schedule is not consistent and my main career takes priority. When I can swing it, I’m happy to help! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly senior dog at home. I am happy to do drop ins to give your pet some love any time. My dog has a basic training degree and I have experience with many kinds of dogs.
“Vanessa was absolutely AMAZING! She provided daily updates, photos and bonus videos! Lola was taken care of and loved just as much as she is at home. We are using Vanessa for our other family trip at the end of this month and I can feel at ease knowing that she will be a responsive and reliable sitter!”
“Vanessa is a wonderful sitter. You will feel her warmth and care for your fur baby. Her place is safe and secured. Our Flynn had a great time with her and other dogs. She sends you updates, photos & videos. Thank you Venassa! Will definitely choose you again and again.”
“We had such a great experience with Sam! She took wonderful care of my dog for 9 days and made the whole process completely stress-free. This was the longest time we’ve been away. She kept me updated every day with messages, photos or videos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding Chloe with John and his wife. They are lovely people, their home is immaculate, and it is obvious they love dogs and enjoy caring for them. Their own dog is very well behaved and got along well with ours. We highly recommend John and would certainly board Chloe with him again in the future.”
“It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!”
“Shushma was the best! Otto had such a great time that he didn't want to leave! We will definitely be rebooking with her. She was also great administering Otto's pills twice a day.”

Jin was a wonderful sitter for our cat over a 12 day period. He was accommodating, welcoming, and kept us updated on daily events, sending us great photos and videos where we could see him settling in. He encouraged our cat to eat, play and feel safe. We especially loved the dedicated room with a great see-through door. He had plenty of scratchers, interactive toys and a wonderful cat condo which provided a great window view. He also had a camera in the room to keep a check on him. Would highly recommend Jin!!
We had a wonderful experience with Jim and Ellen as our dog sitters! They were incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive throughout our dog’s stay. It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely love dogs and treated ours like part of their own family. They kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while he was with them. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we picked him up. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would absolutely trust Jim and Ellen with our dog again. Highly recommended!
Alba is fantastic and very caring! CC really enjoyed her time with her and Tony. She sent over several pictures and videos of CC playing and relaxing at her house, which made the whole experience of having to leave her so much less stressful!! Thank you and CC is looking forward to her next visit!
Avon did an amazing job caring for my cat in her home! She provided attentive care and got my anxious cat to come out of her shell and feel comfortable in the new environment. Avon also was great at communicating and sending pictures and videos every day. Definitely recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience with Matt & Kristina! Matt & Kristina were absolutely amazing from start to finish! From our very first meet-and-greet, they took the time to get to know Rocky and make sure he would be a good fit for their family and their two beautiful dogs. Matt showed us their yard and explained where Rocky would be safe to run around and play. He gave us a full rundown of everything and patiently answered all of our questions, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Rocky with them. We ended up booking a full week! Throughout Rocky’s stay, we received regular updates, pictures, videos, and text messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was so wonderful to see how happy and comfortable Rocky was. He got along great with their family dogs and even their super-cute daughter! You can truly tell that Matt & Kristina genuinely care about the dogs in their care and treat them like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Matt & Kristina and will definitely be booking with them again in the future, especially when we need to travel out of the country. Rocky had an amazing time, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands! 🐾❤️ The Arjoon Family 🫶🏻 Breed: Pomsky 😂 more the size of Husky
We could not be happier with the care Toby received from Thu and her family! This was our first time leaving him with an in home sitter and we are thankful for such a great experience. We received updates and photos which put our minds at ease and Toby was so happy to have Pi and Jinx to play with! I can tell he already misses his new friends!
Cindy did great with Candy! Candy is definitely spoiled and needy most days but Cindy was able to meet all her needs and keep her content and resting while we were away on vacation. We enjoyed receiving little videos of her everyday and We will definitely use Cindy again in the future.
My husband and I recently needed a last minute pet sitter for our dog and Susan came through for us big time! Our girl Lexi had never stayed with people she didn't know but she warmed up to Susan and her husband immediately. They are super kind, trust worthy and provide a warm safe haven for your fur baby. She sent lots pictures and updates. We feel very fortunate to have found her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Susan!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
