Cory is matter-of-fact, flexible, and a good energy for our hyper lab mix. We were able to schedule an additional walk during our vacation which we really appreciated. We received updates each time he stopped by. Big fan!

Jessica was great! She took time out of her night to come visit Koda the night before she walked him and see how they did with each other! She was also a great walker and was willing to just hang out with him outside of his kennel and play with his toys! We will definitely be going back to Jessica again!

Brad was amazing with our dog! He was incredibly conscious and respectful about maintaining any routines and training we had already established with our dog and was great with our sometimes unruly boy! I was very impressed with how communicative he was and took very well composed and extremely cute photos to send us! I would absolutely recommend Brad!

Natalie has helped take care of my dog Harvey for the last year. He is still a puppy so can be quite a handful, but Natalie is always so great with him! She is patient and very loving with him and we are so grateful for her help :)

Nila loved going on a walk with Alexandra and was so happy afterwards! She was flexible even with our last minute request, great at communicating, and understood the differences in dog personalities and how to work with that. Definitely would recommend her!

Courtney is a great communicator and clearly loves animals! My dog Roscoe had a great time on walks with her, and our cat even got some bonus love out of it. I especially liked the funny and creative pictures Courtney took.

Aleasha is amazing! Our pup Nila gets so excited every time she sees her. She is great at communication and very reliable. Aleasha has always done an incredible job of watching to any cues if something is making her nervous and letting Nila show what she is comfortable with and what she is interested in. Nila always comes home happy and ready for a nap.

This was our first time using Rover and Monica made the process so easy. She sent us notes and lots of pictures at every visit. She took cues from our dog on how far she could walk at each visit depending on the weather and then spent time cuddling our Boston Terrier too (which is just as important for our dog as exercise). We were out of town and never had to worry if things were going well! Our family highly recommends Monica for your pet walking/sitting needs!!

I have know Anna her whole life and know that she has a true heartfelt love for all animals. Dogs , cats, birds, rabbits, turtles, horses, guinea pig and hamsters Anna has taken care of them all. She takes the care of animals very seriously. If she does not know how best to interact or respond to an animals needs she will research the issue. She has taken many college level courses on animal care. Anna is very friendly and gets along with both 2 and 4 legged creatures. She is responsible and would be a wonderful pet sitter. She has almost always had a dog in her life. Anna is someone you could feel very comfortable trusting your dog with.

Very few dog sitters love dogs more than Tristan. I have found him to be very reliable, giving me frequent updates and sending photos of how she is doing. Tristan has done both “stop-by” walks/check ins for us and also spent more than a week at a time caring for our dog and our house. He enjoys taking the dog on walks to the park and on the trails. He is trustworthy, wise, responsible, and conscientious. Your dog or cat could not be in better hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!
