“Marie was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous to leave Brady, but Marie made it so easy! She updated us multiple times a day and was always communicative. She left our house spotless and maybe even a bit cleaner than we left it! We would recommend Marie to anyone!”
“Dahn took terrific care of my dog! She left me detailed messages and many photographs and videos throughout her time dogsitting. She asked questions if needed and left my house in same condition when she came. She even gave Shiloh a brand new chew toy and taught her a new game.”
“I reached out to Emily after a friend recommended her, and I’m so glad I trusted my friend - Emily was highly communicative every day, clearly spent time with the animals, and very responsible! I recommend her highly! 😊”
“Jordan is fabulous. We had to book a house sitter at the last minute and Jordan responded quickly. We did a meet greet at our home with her and the dogs and we knew immediately Jordan was going to do awesome. She of took great care of our little guys and our house. Jordan is friendly, attentive to the dogs, and super easy to work with. She communicated throughout her stay giving us peace of mind knowing the dogs and our home were being well cared for. We will definitely use Jordan again !”
“Katelyn took great care of our pets (dog and 2 cats) and our house when we went away. She came to our house to meet them and us before our trip, sent us photos while we were away, and left our house very clean. We would definitely use her again!”
“Heather was a wonderful care taker for our elderly pup Marley. She put our worried minds at ease by updating us throughout the weekend. We would definitely use her again in a heartbeat! Thanks again Heather!”
“I was so impressed with Heather. She did a great job with my two furbabies (two small dogs). I was so nervous to leave them, but she took excellent care of them. She was commmunicative and responsive the entire stay. My younger dog can struggle to warm up to new people, but she was incredible with him- he clearly liked her a lot. Heather was also flexible about changing the booking dates around so that I could spend more time with my dying parent. It meant the world to me to be able to spend an extra day at home. She also kept the apartment clean and tidy and even washed the sheets for me. I was so grateful and appreciative for Heather’s help with my dogs while I was away. Would definitely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Veronica was wonderful! She played with our pup and took her on lots of walks. We got plenty of update photos and videos. She was really respectful of our home and left it very tidy. We’d be happy to have her again!”

“Mary Rose was wonderful!! Very communicative, caring, and did a great job updating me while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. The frequent pictures she sent of my boy throughout the day eased any worry and I knew he was being well cared for. Cloud approved and made a new friend😊🤍”
“Pauline is just great! She house-sat my very senior feline with so much kindness and was very communicative, sending photos and video, which really helped for my peace of mind, as he has some chronic health conditions and needs regular medication. I'd be glad to have her back and send her many thanks for her care!”
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.
About: I have been responsible for my own pets’ care since I was 12. I have had a very active German Shepard mix and Sharpei growing up, which I was responsible for feeding, bathing, and care. I have a family friend that I walk and hike their dog for so I am comfortable doing both if your dog is more active. I currently work fully remote from my home with schedule flexibility so I am able to take pets for walks in mornings, afternoons, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to be flexible for walking and pet visits during guardian vacations, time away, etc. I have a pet-free home for any pets that are not used to other animals. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with green space. When dog-sitting, I take the approach of playing with a pet outside and familiarizing prior to introductory period in the home.
“Olivia did a wonderful job house sitting and caring for our two cats. One of our cats is older with a few health issues and he gets pills twice a day in addition to a specific feeding schedule. Olivia was so excellent at keeping our kitty on his schedule and also keeping us informed along the way. Our house was in perfect condition when we got home and our kitties were happy & healthy! I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”
“We had Rachel come for a last minute booking and we were so happy and felt so comfortable with her staying with our pets! Our sensitive large dog took to her immediately- something huge for us, and was so reassuring! Absolutely recommend”
“We’ve had a lot of sitters, but Kate quickly proved she will be on the top of our favorites going forward. I loved that she understood my dog and wanted to keep to his own routine while I was traveling. She was communicative and kept me in the loop on everything. She rolled with stepping in to help deal with some sensitive tummy issues and providing meds and helped him quickly recover.”
About: I have always had animals in my house ranging from reptiles to kittens. Currently I have three dogs and two cats. Growing up with animals has taught me how to care for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Along with caring for my own animals I regularly sit for family and friends. I also have worked in a pet store where I learned how to care for puppies and kittens properly in a wide range of breeds. Between caring for their health needs to how to properly groom certain breeds. I am excited to help with your pets needs! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine well. I work a flexible job remotely that allows me to step away from my computer as needed allowing me to care for your animals when needed! I will care for your pets with all the love and attention to detail. I have worked with dogs that are high energy and need long walks to older animals that simply need someone to hang out with. I will pay close attention to your details about how to care for your animal and also what your animal needs at the time.
About: What sets me apart is over 10 years of hands-on experience dog sitting, along with a deep sense of responsibility and care. I truly love animals and bring that same energy to every pet I look after. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including seniors who need gentle, attentive support. I also have experience caring for elderly people, including my own grandmother, which has taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of routines. Whether it’s administering medication, giving extra cuddles, or sticking to a strict schedule, I’m all in when it comes to compassionate care. It fits into my daily and weekly schedule because I’m a stay at home dad with a lot of time on my schedule that would enjoy the company of a fur friend around that can keep me busy!! When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they have a cozy spot to relax, stick to their regular routine as much as possible, and give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I keep my space clean, safe, and calm so they can feel comfortable, whether they’re staying for a day or a whole week. My goal is to make it feel like a second home for them. Also when taking them out I have a fenced yard as well as a front gate so there’s no running away or escaping on my watch!

Vicki is amazing! She is personable and you can tell she is an animal lover. She has stayed at our house with our fur babies twice now. She keeps us up to date on their daily excursions with pictures. We feel that our pets are very safe with her! We love her and I know our dogs do too. We HIGHLY recommend Vicki! We will be contacting her again when it’s vacation time again. Thank you again Vicki! Kristen and Mike B.
Janalie is the best dog sitter around. She gave so much love and attention to our Labrador retriever and has amazing energy from the moment she met the dog. She kept us up to date and sent photos throughout her stay. Our doggo was in good spirits when we got home!
Melanie house and dog sat for our dog Luna for a few days while we traveled out of state. This was our first experience with Melanie other than a few daily walks and we were extremely happy with the care and communication. We received daily updates and pictures and Luna seemed happy and engaged every day with walks and playtime. Everything looked great upon our return. Melanie was responsive when I messaged her. We will definitely have Melanie watch Luna again and give her 5 stars! Thank you.
Kristen is the best! She took amazing care of our dog and 2 cats (honestly even better than we do haha), and even vacuumed and cleaned the whole place before we got back. We arrived pretty late at night and she stayed up to keep our dog company. She goes above and beyond for your pets. Couldn't recommend enough.
Rachel took such good care of our little guys while we were gone. Our senior kitty needs several feedings of wet food through out the day and gets medication twice a day. Rachel was great about sending pictures and updates which helped me feel so relieved that things were fine at home. It felt great knowing our cats were both cared for and loved. Our house was also in perfect order. Thank you Rachel!
