“Thank you Jenna for your tender loving care of Alex while I was away. I know it wasn't easy, as he also started a new medication (that you picked up for me!!) along with his other meds. Just getting him to take his meds is quite a task. I will certainly contact you again the next time we are out of town. Thank you, thank you!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy by choosing Casey. He immediately wanted to schedule a "meet and greet" at the house so the dogs can be comfortable. Soon after, we left for our wedding and our babies were in his hands. We were worried at first, but Casey reassured us instantly with photos of the doggies loving life. He always checked in with us, and sent us photos. We had such a great experience with him and Rover. I recommend Casey for any dog child owner in the area. His knowledge, attitude, and comfortability is reassuring :D Thank you so much! -The Rileys”
“Angelica was so great with our 1 year old lab, bowie. She came two nights in a row to look after him and she was so attentive. She played with him and took him out on walks -- we were able to not worry while we were gone. Thank you Angelica!”
“Caroline is a true pro. She's always on time, is a great communicator, comes prepared, leaves the house in perfect condition, keeps me updated and takes amazing care of Gracie. Have booked her twice and will definitely book her again!”
About: Having grown up with a dog, what sets me apart is my focus on high-needs care and consistency. Your pet can be my 'co-worker' for the day, receiving constant attention and structured play. I'm comfortable with medication schedules and slow-paced mobility walks. You can expect frequent photo updates and a calm, pet-first environment As a remote professional, I offer the 'work-from-home' advantage: your pet will have a constant companion throughout the day which is ideal for most dogs. Your pet will always be treated like family! We start with a slow introduction, ensuring they feel safe and confident. I provide a structured day with frequent potty breaks, interactive play, and plenty of lap time. When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your pet's 'normal.' I follow your feeding and exercise schedules to the minute to minimize anxiety. I also take great care of your space, possibly watering plants, and ensuring your home is secure and tidy so you can return to a happy pet and a peaceful house.
“Alanna was wonderful with my 11-week old puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me informed on how he was doing. Also, she worked on reinforcing his trainer which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again with Alanna!”
“Margot was so great with Milo and was so helpful for watching him through the whole day! She took him on 2 walks and was very kind! Milo seemed very happy when I got home and we would definitely book with her again 😊”
“This was Keith’s first time with our dogs and home. He asked a lot of good questions before and during our time away. He sent us pictures and updates daily and left our house in good condition. Much appreciated, Keith!”
About: I started by taking care of my moms 4 dogs when she would go on vacations and needed a dog sitter. That really taught me how to feed them efficiently and when to take them outside to go potty. From there I learned how to hang out with them and play with them efficiently. I am a college student with classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I am available for the entire day and night. On Wednesday and Friday I'm available at night, Monday I'm not because I have a night class. Staying over night is not a problem, along with check ins during the days even on school days. I love dogs and am really good at feeding them, taking them outside, and playing with them. I'm not a trainer, but someone who is good at taking care of them while you are away. My mom has 4 small dogs so I'm very familiar with smaller dogs, but I have also watched bigger dogs as well.
“Sameena was great! Took great care of our baby Camper, took him for nice long walks and was incredibly communicative all day with messages and photos. Will definitely work with her again!”
“Amazing! She took care of our dog and cat and they were really happy. She sent us a lot of photos and communicated often we are going to book again with her!”
“Aik was amazing! He handled my dog’s unexpected quirks with ease!!! I can tell she was loved and very well cared for. Plus he took great care of my house too! Would recommend and rebook anytime. Thanks Aik!!!!”
“We love Emmy! She is the absolute sweetest, and our pup just adores her. She is kind, thoughtful, and considerate, and we never worry for a second when our dog is with her. We will 100% ask Emmy to watch our girl in the future and couldn’t recommend her more highly!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in high school. A lot of my neighbors have asked me to take care of their dogs while being out on long vacations. Most visits did not include overnight stays, but I would show up in the morning to take them for a walk and to play, come back around noon to play with them again and stay for about an hour or two, come back around dinner to make sure they were fed and walked again and stay a little longer so that the dogs were not alone when it would get darker. Especially during thunder storms! I currently have a full time job that I work at 5 days a week. However with my job I have a lot of availability to work remote so if there were any circumstances where you would need me to stay all day at your house to watch your dog I would be available to do so as long as I have a wifi connection :). I had moved from New Jersey to California, so as you can imagine I miss my family dogs everyday so I have a lot of love to give to other dogs. I live in an apartment so I will unfortunately not be able to have dogs here, however, I am willing to travel multiple times a day to the owners house to play, feed, walk and even go to parks to keep them fresh and active.
“Darya was amazing! She sent me multiple daily updates with photos. The animals loved her right away which was very reassuring and she left my house very clean and even stripped the sheets! I will be using her again.”
“Sandra was very responsive and was flexible with dealing with our shifting schedule. Miso, our chaweenie, was very happy with Sandra watching her. Will be asking her to watch Miso again soon. Thanks Sandra!”
“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”
About: I have three years of experience as a pet sitter, primarily caring for dogs and cats. My responsibilities include overnight stays, daily walks, feeding, administering medications if needed, and ensuring cats have a clean and comfortable environment. I am dedicated to providing attentive, reliable care, tailoring my approach to each pet’s unique needs to keep them happy and healthy. I work full-time and go to the office three days a week. I am available for cat sitting on both weekdays and weekends, exclusively at the client's home. For dog sitting, I prefer weekends, as I am unavailable to be home during the week. Safety is my top priority. When walking dogs, I always keep them on a leash and stay alert to other dogs, traffic, and surroundings to ensure their well-being. For cats, I take extra precautions by avoiding leaving out any potentially toxic foods and ensuring windows and doors remain securely closed.
“Amanda helped sit our 3 not-so-small dogs in our places for several nights while we headed out for spring break. She even stayed a bit longer in the last day to keep our dog companied when we were heading home late. Dogs look healthy and happy. House looks clean and neat. Highly recommended if you are looking for a good sitter.”

Margot spent two weeks with our dog Akiva at our home while we were away on vacation. Akiva is a 5 year old GSD who greatly values personal attention from his people, including his play time, training regimen and walking routine. Margot worked with us prior to our departure to learn Akiva's habits and ways to keep him happy and healthy in our absence. She's responsible and reliable, and it was clear from the regular updates and pictures that she sent us that she developed a genuine rapport with Akiva. She took great care of our home and plants as well. We already have our next house sitting with Margot on the books, and will be counting on her in the future. Thank you Margot!
Caroline was amazing with our rescue dachshund Tella. She was so empathetic to us and Tella who just lost the other half of her bonded pair, and took Tella on with such patience since we all didn’t quite know how she’d handle being dog-watched alone for the first time. Caroline also messaged regularly with so many picture updates to comfort us knowing we probably had more separation anxiety than Tella did! As a pet owner of a somewhat difficult rescue dachshund - and if you know dachshunds you know what I mean- i was worried about finding the right sitter and Caroline went above and beyond.
This is the second review I've written for Larissa, and it is well deserved. She is reliable, professional, and a good communicator, which gives me peace of mind when I travel. I used to feel stressed leaving my dog behind, but now I genuinely feel at ease knowing she is in such good hands. My dog absolutely adores her, and it's clear that there is genuine care and affection between them. I'm so grateful to have found someone I trust so fully with my dog.
Alannah was a dream to have dog sit my two pitties. She was communicative, incredibly reliable, and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and loved while I was away. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience! We honestly think our lab, Ranger, had more of a vacation than we did. We received constant updates and photos, and it was clear he was getting tons of walks and playtime. Beyond the incredible pet care, we returned to a spotless house and felt at total ease knowing both our dog and our home were in such great hands. We highly recommend them—your pets will be so well cared for!
Always amazing having Sydney watch our dogs. She is so communicative and always gives updates on how they are doing (with so many wonderful photos!). As a bonus to getting along with our pets so well, we really feel the house is taken care of when she stays and leaves it spotless. Highly recommend Sydney.
Lisa was fantastic! She dog sat for me for 2 days very last minute when I was in a pinch. My little guy was going through a rough time, but he did so great with Lisa! She took such great care of him and kept me well updated along the way. She really helped us both. I will definitely be reaching out to Lisa again.
