“Allorah was an awesome pet sitter! She sent photos regularly and kept in constant communication in everything concerning our girl. It was so much better than I expected and I felt a ton less stressed knowing that our girl was being taken care of well above what we could have asked for. Icing on the cake, she left our home exactly how she found it, no extra messes to clean up. Thank you so much Allorah, we will definitely rebook with you next time.”
“Colleen was great with our Dino who has severe separation anxiety. She knew exactly how to manage him and knew to take him for a walk just after we departed to distract him from our leaving. He remained calm and was not anxious when we returned. We will be reaching out to Colleen frequently - she's a gem!”
“Andrew was attentive, friendly, my temperamental pup immediately took to him, pictures and communication daily…only reason I wouldn’t give him 5 stars is so others wouldn’t take my go to guy!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Madison! Our dog Pascal is very shy and tends to get scared around new people, but she was incredibly patient and gave him the time and space he needed to feel comfortable. Her gentle approach truly made a difference. Throughout the entire time, she was attentive, communicative, and easy to reach. We especially appreciated the regular photo updates, they meant so much to us while we were away and missing our fur baby. We’re so grateful for the care and love she gave to Pascal and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again!”
About: We are in a senior community that only allows up to medium dogs. We have had dogs for over 20 years but currently don't have a dog of our own and love to have dog guests. We would love to have sleepovers to get our fix of licks and wags! Your fur baby would have run of our house (furniture included) and will be walked multiple times a day. I work Monday through Friday, but my husband is home all day. Other than occasional trips to the store or out to eat, our fur guests are not left home alone. We only take one family at a time, up to two dogs. We would love to be grandparents to your fur children! My husband is home all day and loves having a dog companion to share his day. Walks around the neighborhood and watching TV are a typical day. All dogs in the community must be leashed and everyone is courteous. If your dog would is shy or anxious, we can walk in our backyard. If outgoing, we can visit the neighbors.
“Dustin and Isabella were really great to work with! They’re professional, reliable, and you can tell they genuinely love animals. My neighbor told me about them and I’m so happy they could watch my cats at the last minute. They were attentive, followed my directions, and sent several photos to me. They’re wonderful and very dependable - I will definitely use them again to watch my cats!”
“This was our first, successful booking with Rover and Brad was awesome. He was on time and our dogs liked him from the start. We hope to have Brad again in the future. Highly recommend him!”
“Lorraine did a great job. We were on a cruise so there was no way she could send pictures although she did send a couple before we actually sailed. House looked good and Olive was a happy. well cared for puppy. Thank you.”
“Blanca is INCREDIBLE! We love her! She treated our fur babies just like her own. My oldest golden, Obi, is absolutely terrified of storms and there were quite a few when we were away and Blanca made sure he was never alone and he was safe and taken care of! 🩵 We also booked her extremely last minute because our regular dog sitter had an emergency and couldn’t do it and thank goodness Blanca was available! We will definitely have her again and I HIGHLY recommend her!!!”
About: Taking care of fur babies has been a passion of mine since a very young age. I used to pretend to be the neighborhood dog trainer at the age of like 7! I’m no dog trainer, but I’m definitely able to love and care for your fur babies like they deserve. I work a full time job, however the hours are pretty flexible. I’m typically off Fridays and Saturday's, so I’m available anytime. Sunday-Thursday it varies but I’m typically available in the morning to 4pm :) I have 3 cats and 1 dog who I love very far much. I’m a great communicator and will keep in contact and provide pictures through out the experience. If your pet is happy, then I am too!
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 14. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, give medications and bathe their dogs. I have many years of experience in caring for all animals. Dogs and cats are not the only pets I cared for, I have cared for lizards, snakes, hamsters, gerbils, chinchilla and Guinea pig I am currently working part time and I will have plenty of time to spend with the pets I care for. I will be able to stay weekends and holidays with your pets. Your pet comes first. They will be a part of my family and give excellent care whether they are staying at home or with me.
“Kathy kept our 2 dogs for the day during our visit to LEGOLAND. She is a very nice person and her house is so warming. She is obviously an experienced dog keeper. Sent us pics during the day of the dogs which was very appreciated. We spent our day with no stress. Thank you !”
“Awesome experience. My kitty Waffles is a shy, scared kitty around new people and has taken him days to interact with new people. Brittany got Waffles to interacts with her within a day and even seemed to be playful with her. I highly recommend Brittany and i will be using her again when i have the need.”
“Madeline was the best dog sitter we could ask for! She was thorough, attentive and so kind! She came to meet the dogs the day prior, gave us updates the entire time, and left our home spotless and a sweet note with some Polaroids of their weekend together. Madeline was with our pups over 4th of July and stayed home with them to make sure they were comfortable, I would 100% use her again!”
“Kayla is AWESOME! She’s so sweet and patient with our dogs. She had them snuggling with her and asking for belly rubs almost immediately upon arrival. She proactively sent pictures and updates daily, which I really appreciated. She also brought our mail in and sent photos of packages that arrived, as she new we were expecting quite a few deliveries. She went above and beyond on the last day, doing all of the nighttime routine, even though we could have done it when we got home, so that we wouldn’t have to after traveling all day. This was SO nice to come home to. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Jen was fantastic taking care of our fur babies. This was the first time we used a pet sitter and it was great. We would recommend Jen to everyone. She sent us pictures and updates during the week. We will definitely use Jen again when we travel.”
About: I have had a boxer and a bullmastiff, but I have experience working with yellow labs, golden retrievers, as well smaller dogs. I also had a cat that I cared for and help take care of my roommates cat when I am away at school. In high school I took a course that taught me how to properly care for and handle chinchillas, rats, gerbils, ferrets, rabbits, and other small pets. I have watched my sister’s, cousin’s, and aunt’s dogs on several occasions and would be happy to work on different tricks and skills with puppies and kittens. My top priority will be making sure your pet is safe and entertained! I am a substitute teacher and am going to have a lot of extra time on my hands when school gets out at the end of May. I don’t have a pet myself and would love to help make pet care easier for people who need it! I love spending time with animals and will happily play fetch or tug of war for as long as your dog is would like, or any game your pet loves.
About: Besides having owned pets, I have worked with 2 shelters to foster long stay animals. I also enjoy watching McCann and Zak George dog training videos. My friends often ask me to care for their feline and canine babies while they are on vacation. I have experienced the peace of mind of leaving my pets with a great caregiver, and so I appreciate how important it is to provide you with this confidence. During the week, I am primarily available in the evenings between 5-8 pm. On weekends, early morning between 6-9 am, mid to late afternoons and evenings between 1-3 pm, and 7-8 pm are good times. First of all, I'll ask about your pet care rountine and preferences. This way I can stick to your pets typical routine as much as possible. Then I will feed and exercse according to your stipulations. Of course, I will engage your pet with play, belly rubs and ear stratches according to their liking.
