“Jill is AMAZING! Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and is shy around new people, so we were a little nervous to leave her with a sitter for the first time. Turns out we had nothing to worry about — Jill was incredibly understand, kind and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure Aspen was comfortable and happy. Will absolutely rebook in the future. She is just the best!”

“This is our second time using Eliora, and highly recommend her and her services. Eliora is respectful of our home and consistent with dog walks and feeds. She communicated with us daily about our dogs, and she even sent daily photos. We will definitely book again with Eliora!”

“Justin saved me by watching my sweet foster dog blaze for a few days! He is always giving the pups good walks, and lots of love and play time! I will always ask Justin for his services because he is the best!”

About: My passion is animals. I have owned animals my entire life, cats and dogs. I have two cats and a dog. I have volunteered at cat shelters and worked with dogs at the Humane Society. I am experienced in senior care and can give medications. I left my corporate job to build my own dog training business. I have worked at a doggy daycare in the past and have experience interpreting animal behaviors as well as breaking up dog scuffles. I am really flexible to take care of your animal(s). I can visit several times per day and even stay over if needed. Just ask! I am comfortable taking dogs for walks, bringing dogs to dog parks, caring for cats or dogs in your home, giving medications, picking up after the animals and giving lots of cuddles!
“Madison was awesome helping my wife and I out with a last minute booking! She was great with both the dogs and cats and spent far more time with them than was expected! She took great care of our home and sent lots of cute pictures while we were out of town. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and hope to do so in the future!”

“Laura was wonderful as always taking care of our two small dogs and two cats for a week. She is so great about keeping us updated and sending photos. The house is always left in great shape and we are very excited for her next stay.”

“Brittany was absolutely amazing with Sammy! She took such great care of her, making sure she was walked, fed on time, and comfortable the whole time I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and all the sweet pictures she sent, which gave me peace of mind. Brittany is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly has a lot of love for animals. I highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”

“Phillip was so great with our large (90lb) 10 month puppy Muggsy this weekend. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Muggsys needs and routine was met. He gave Muggsy lots of affection, playtime, and active walks throughout his stay, and worked within our training routine to keep him on his best behavior. Our home was cared for and clean when we returned as well! Thank you, Phil!”

About: I have always enjoyed working with all kinds of animals. The joy, comfort, and love that comes from an animal is truly unbeatable. I am reliable, nurturing, and detail-oriented.i have worked with all ages of animals including puppies and seniors! I have experience in giving oral medications as well! I am a recent college graduate and just left a job. I am currently available all day everyday and would love to fill that time watching your pets! Since this is now my only job, I can spend as much time as needed with your pet! I am very physically active and enjoy going on walks and playing with animals. I communicate with the parents of the pet I am watching to ensure I am giving the best possible care to their fur baby. Most of the families I sit for will write/type directions if there is medications or specific requests. I am unable to board pets in my home, but I will love on your animals from the comfort of their own home.
“Laura is an absolute gem. I have two female Pomeranians who are very attached to me and can be slow to trust new people, so I’m always anxious about leaving them. Not only did Laura win them over, she treated caring for them like a full-time job. She kept them entertained with plenty of long walks, playtime, snuggles, and attention. There were no potty accidents, and when I came home, my girls seemed genuinely happy, relaxed, and even a bit healthier than before I left. Laura was also a fantastic communicator, sending thoughtful updates that really put my mind at ease. My home was in great shape when I returned, and it’s clear she is responsible, respectful, and truly loves what she does. What is normally a stressful experience for me actually felt good knowing they were in her hands. I will be booking Laura every time I go out of town—I couldn’t be happier or more grateful. 🌟”

“Evie is great with our pups. It was our first time using rover as we normally had family watch them while away. We couldn’t be happier with the attention she gave our pups. She is very knowledgeable and patient with our sweet boy Beau who is timid with strangers. She provided pictures the entire stay which made us both feel great while gone. I highly recommend Evie if you need someone to house sit while keeping an eye on your dogs.”

About: I have had dogs and cats from a very younger age and am confident I can provide quality care to others fur children as well! I attend school and internship 3 days a week I am free Friday through Sunday for pet care! My schedule is not flexible Thursday. Mon/Tues after 5pm and Wednesday anytime. I live with two friendly cats, I am able to crate a dog and or cat if necessary and can do so in your home if you instruct me to.
“This was Akisha’s first sitting in this area and I will strongly recommend her for house sitting your beloved pets. She kept me informed me throughout via pictures and video messages and took a great care of my dog and the house.”

“We have been so happy with the outstanding care Miles has given to our dogs! They are so well cared for and we can travel without any concerns about our dogs or home! He is a top choice!”

“Andri did an excellent job watching my fur baby. She kept me informed of everything and communicated effectively. She knows her stuff when it comes to fur babies. Thank you Andri!”

“Karleen was wonderful with Mac & Kookie she took them on many potty breaks sent pictures through out the day to let us know she had feed and gave them water. We truly love the care and attention she gave our pets.”

“Hannah was able to eliminate most of the separation anxiety experienced by both my constant companion Luna and me. The videos and pics of her running at the dog park and doing "buttski" were priceless and made me smile and realize that she was in capable and competent hands. The phone communications and all the images and reassurance made the time away from my Luna manageable. Hannah has a sensitivity with animals that goes beyond "pet-sitting". I would highly recommend her. She is trustworthy and responsible with your home and your pet.”

We had the best experience with Taryn! She went above and beyond while watching our pups over the 4th of July weekend. Not only did she send us regular updates and adorable photos (even themed for the holiday!), but she did it without us even having to ask—which gave us so much peace of mind. The power even went out for half the day, and she handled it like a pro—making sure the dogs were safe, comfortable, and cared for the entire time. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Nikki did such an amazing job caring for our two pups during a 4 day house sitting. As littermates, they needed someone with extra patience and experience handling their occasional reactivity. She really took the time to get to know them and understand their individual behaviors. Nikki made us feel so comfortable with regular updates, and adorable pictures. She even managed to leave the house cleaner than when she arrived! Next booking is just weeks away, twice as long, and we have no doubts that she'll be fantastic with them again!
