“Tammy is the absolute best! From our very first meet and greet my husband and I were so impressed with her professionalism and warmth. We have a two-year-old Sheepadoodle named Winnie, and she and Tammy bonded right away! She took the time to answer all of our questions and her love and passion for animals was evident from our first meeting. It gave us so much comfort and confidence in choosing her to care for our girl. During her stay at our apartment, Tammy kept us updated on all of her adventures with Winnie, and it was such a treat to see how much fun they had together. Tammy brought Winnie on long walks, trips to nearby lakes and farms, and played lots of fetch to keep Winnie’s paws moving. We truly think Winnie had a better vacation than we did! ☺️ Above all, Tammy’s kindness and attention to detail completely surpassed our expectations. She treated Winnie as if she were her own dog for the weekend, and it was more than we could have hoped for. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for “Auntie T,” and cannot wait to have her come back and stay with her adventure buddy, Winnie, again. If you are looking for a stellar, passionate, and kind professional to care for your fur babies, Tammy is truly one in a million. 🐶❤️”


“This was our first time using rover and I’m so glad we found Beatriz! From our initial booking throughout her stay her communication has been fantastic. She sent many pictures and videos during her stay with our dogs showing they were having a great time with her! Our house was also left in perfect condition. We would without a doubt book her again the next time we are looking for a dog sitter!”


“We are so fortunate to have found Kadence.She has a calm,soft demeanor and was unfazed by my fearful Chihuahua barking at her.Once Finn realized that I was leaving he jumped onto her lap and watched me go.That never happens.Kadence sent pictures that assured me that Finn was laying calmly with her.It was a huge relief for me to be able to spend Thanksgiving with my family knowing that Finn was in good hands.Kadence is professional and was here when she said she would be.I highly recommend her.I’ve already booked her,again,for a weekend.”



About: I’ve had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and rodents. I have also watched dogs for friends and family. I stop to pet every dog I come across out in the world, with the owner’s permission of course. I’m always looking to make friends with animals. My dog passed away at 17 in November 2024, so I would love to fill some time with more animals until I’m ready to adopt again. I’m currently self-employed and working part time, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furbabies! My schedule is pretty flexible, especially for the rest of this year. Outside of your home I can take your pup to a local dog park, or take them for nice walks on some local trails, or even around your neighborhood.

“Jacky was a communicative and attentive house and pet sitter. She took wonderful care of Henry. She also took great care of our house and our plants and our garden. We are so happy to have met her and definitely will call upon her again when we travel!”



“Our dog was happy, the house was as we left it (they stayed at our home to take care of our older dog), and sent great pictures! Thank you for taking such nice care of Rusty and our home.”


“Olivia is dependable, considerate and trust worthy…an animal lover who stayed in our home caring for our two dogs (and several plants). She stayed over a weekend and upon our return, we couldn’t even tell anyone was there, including the dogs. If you are looking for a responsible, personable and professional home and pet sitter, it will be difficult to find anyone as responsible and caring as her.”


“Lauren is a great communicator and wonderful dog sitter. She watched our older golden retriever and poodle mix and they LOVED her. She was very respectful of our house; we will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”


About: I have had 3 dogs and 1 cat in my lifetime. Three english bulldogs and that beautiful brown cat in the photos. Unfortunately they have all passed on and my current living situation does not allow pets. The best way to puppy and kitty fever is by spending some time with others! Since I was in high school, I have been asked by multiple neighbors to watch their pets while they’re away. I always take dogs on daily walks or play with them outside in the yard to make sure they are getting their energy out. My favorite part is having pets curl up next to me, that’s how I know I have done my job. I am a college student home for the summer looking to hangout with some furry friends! I have years of experience in both housesitting and dog walking. I have a fenced yard at my house for safe play. I do prefer to keep the pet at the owners house so they feel most comfortable.

About: We would be honored to care for your animals. We are a family of 6 . We have 3 dogs and 1 daughter. I am semi retired, and both my husband and I have flexible schedules. We both cherish all animals. I think if we had money and time we’d own a farm. However, this is the next best thing. During the week I work part time and my husbands schedule is also flexible. We would love to fill our time caring for all animals . Your pets safety and trust is our main focus. We will make sure your pets are protected and feel safe in our care. We’re both over 45 years old and we have many years of love and experience to offer your kids.

“Tayla was a great dog sitter. She was on time and took good care of Yuki our high energy wire fox terrier. I could tell she had a lot of experience with dogs and Yuki seemed to like her right away. I highly recommend Tayla and would have her take care of Yuki again.”


“Janine stayed for a couple of nights at our home taking care of our old English sheepdog and she was fantastic! She sent us plenty of pictures and video and kept us in the loop about how he was doing. Our dog looked happy and it was apparent he was having plenty of fun. We've already booked her to housesit for our dog again. I couldn't recommend her enough!”


About: Donna and I started taking care of dogs when we lost our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dutchin. We got her when she was 3 months old and she was our baby. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog, but wanted to still experience the joy that dogs bring to our lives. We decided to provide both care and a safe, loving home for other people's pets while their humans are away or otherwise unable to care for them short-term. This way, we can give you peace of mind in knowing your best friend is safe and happy, and we get to interact with all kinds of dogs, which gives us great joy! Your friend will get all the love and attention you give them; and, well, if we spoil them a bit too much, sorry (not sorry)! We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to care for your pets whether in our home or yours. We are available for walks, drop in visits and overnight boarding in our home. When boarding with us, your fur baby will never be alone as someone is always home. We have a large fenced-in yard where your dog can run and play off leash safely. Are your pets used to making themselves at home on the couch? Not a problem! They are more than welcome to snuggle up on ours. If you wish to make your pet a little more at home, you may bring your pet's bed, toys and/or crate.

“Peach was absolutely amazing! She brought the kindest, most gentle and warm energy to our home when she came to stay with our pup for a couple of days. She was very communicative throughout the entire duration we were gone, as well as in the days leading up to our trip. I'm not sure what we would have done without here! I would highly recommend Peach for overnight stays with your pup. She's extremely thorough, kind and trustworthy. We'll certainly be reaching out to her for any future stay needs! :)”


“Dog loved spending time with her! Communication was good, and she took excellent care of my doggy friend, including applying some medication daily to his ears (and as a result is now cured). Thanks, Jess!”


“Heather house sat for us for 4 days and did a fantastic job. Our 2 German Shepherds were well cared for and she somehow managed to find all of our favorite local trails without any hints from me. She seemed to have a good read on my dogs! Our house was well cared for during her stay. She even took out the trash/recycling bins to the street before I thought to ask her. I would certainly recommend her to any future clients.”


“Was very happy with Heather. My dog loved her. I'll definitely be using her again in the future. She was awesome. I was able to relax on my weekend getaway and not have to worry a my dog.”

Kayla H.
“Kayla is probably the biggest animal lover I know. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a dog that didn’t love her almost immediately! Anytime she’s goes hiking she’ll stop and make friends with all the dogs along the way, and has been known to take selfies with them! She has a big heart for animals and volunteered her time to feed stray cats throughout her hometown. Some have said she’s become somewhat of a cat whisperer! When you think of movies like Snow White or Enchanted, just know they were based off a real person, and her name is Kayla!”

And, they love her back just the same! She is one of the most kind and loving people I know. When it comes to her pets they have the best of love, care, kindness. She has this inner perception of knowing if there is something wrong and without delay takes care of the matter. Basically, she understands their body language 100 %! Mandy is truly a Blessing and very trustworthy! I trust her 100% What makes her awesome you ask? The Genuine Love in her heart is real.”

John & Donna T.
“Donna and John have been our Cat Sitters for the last few years. We have four cats and need to be sure that they get good care while we are away. They have always been punctual, and have done a very good job feeding the cats, as well as socializing them and keeping the area clean. Additionally we have had several last minute trips, and they have always come through and were willing to help us. John and Donna have a lot of experience with cats and I would recommend them without hesitation.”
