When I returned home after 9 days, my usually high strung dogs were calm and happy. Liz was a great communicator, took great care of my home and pets, and most importantly made my dogs feel so comfortable with her. Wonderful peace of mind.

Gail was an excellent sitter. She stayed at my home for a week and took great care of Rory. She was communicative and sent pictures and updates that made us feel very comfortable. The house was left in excellent shape. Will definitely reach out again in the future

Emily is communicative, trustworthy, and compassionate. During her first stay with our dog and two cats, she handled a vet emergency responsibly and with grace. We’re very happy to recommend her services!

Renee was wonderful with our 4 pets! She house sat for us for a few days and followed all of our instructions. Everything went so smoothly. She was very considerate and was not afraid to ask questions during her stay, which I prefer. She went above and beyond taking our dogs on super long walks (which she def didn’t have to, esp in the winter weather!). I am thankful to have had Renee taking care of our animals and will def rebook in the future!

Mads did such a great job of caring for my apartment and my skittish, chatty cat while I was on a week-long trip out of the country! They were super diligent and consistent in sending me updates and photos of my cat, and they were able to accommodate my rather complicated pet feeding and house plant watering schedule. It was such a relief to come home after a roughly twelve hour flight to find my space in perfect shape and my cat fed and happy! I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them!

Claude took care of my bernese mountain dog Glen Coco in my home while I was away on vacation, and they were an incredible caretaker for my girl. Glen Coco can be nervous with new people and hasn’t stayed with a non-relative in over 5 years, but she warmed up to Claude immediately at our meet-and-greet, and from the photos they sent, it was very obvious that Glen Coco was super happy and comfortable during the entire stay. Claude was very thorough in their communication and provided lots of great updates during my week away. They went above and beyond in their care for Glen Coco, spent lots of time loving on her, and made sure any issues were addressed promptly. They were also super respectful of my space and left my home in great condition. I will happily book them again for future stays!

Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!

This was my second booking with Ismy and Corey, and once again, they were absolutely fantastic! They took exceptional care of my cat, Fox Fox, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It’s clear that they truly care about Fox Fox’s well-being, and their attention to detail is top-notch. They even left the place spotless and made sure Fox Fox was comfortable before they left. I highly recommend Ismy and Corey to anyone in need of reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitters. I’ll definitely be booking them again in the future! Fox Fox will miss them until next time!

Adriana loves cats and it shows as she took great care of our 4 cats while away. She's responsible, sent us pictures of the cats each day, and communicated with us the whole time. She followed a specific feeding routine to a tee (we have 3 cats who all have to be fed separately) and kept them with full water bowls.

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

You can stop looking for your next dog sitter! Houston did a fantastic job for us! She stayed in our home with our large breed dog while we were out of town for a week in April 2021. We received daily pictures and videos of our dog to reassure us she was being well taken care of. Our house was spotless when we arrived home late at night - the trash was taken out, the bed was made, the mail was on the counter, and most importantly our dog was happy with plenty of food and water. I can't recommend Houston enough and will definitely book her again!

Our usual sitters were out of town so we jumped on Rover and were so lucky to have found Emily at the last minute! She was professional and personable but best of all, she took great care of our sweet baby! Because we work from home, we’re with our cat most of day, so we needed a sitter who was able to work from home and could stay overnight. Emily was super thorough during the meet n greet and during the stay gave us daily updates and pics. Patti seemed to really love her! We came home to a clean house and a happy kitty. I would recommend Emily to anyone who wants special and loving care ❤️

Maeve did a great job with my cats! She was super sweet with them and they warmed up to her instantly. I also had a ton of travel problems getting home, resulting in over 36 hours of delays getting back and Maeve was nothing but accommodating and kind, making sure my cats had everything they needed so I didn't have to worry about them during the stressful process. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting!
