Not sure what we would do without Martin but hope we never have to find out, he just does such a great job of taking care of our Adira every time.

Everything went well on our trip with Matthew doing a great job taking care of our 2 dogs for 2 nights. Both seemed to enjoy his stay and we would recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter.

Jaina was very responsive and communicative during our trip. This was my first time hiring a petsitter so I was already nervous, but my sheltie Piper does NOT like strangers so that added more stress. Jaina worked with us to have a few (loud) meet and greets with Piper to familiarize herself with her. It took a day but Piper soon warmed up to her and settled which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. I'm very grateful to Jaina for handling our anxious dog and reassuring us with her daily and sometimes twice a day updates.

Tony was super communicated and kept us updated about how our fur children were through out our time away. He was very good at handling our dog (who needs medication twice a day) and was pleasant to meet! 10/10 would recommend! Will definitely book with him again!

Whitney watched our older dog for about a week when we were on a family vacation. We were very nervous due to Millie's age and health. Whitney was amazing, checked in regularly, gave Millie her medicine, and accommodated our less then ideal flight schedule. We would absolutely ask Whitney to watch our home and Millie again.

Alexea was great! She took incredible care of my dogs while I was way for my wedding. It was great to not worry about them while I was gone. I came home to a clean house and well taken care of dogs. I couldn't be happier.

Bailey is an excellent sitter. She watched our dogs and house for 6 days and I couldn't be happier with her services. One of our dogs is elderly and needs special assistance, and Bailey was so caring and careful with her. Our other dog caused some trouble while we were gone, and Bailey handled it with grace and patience. She is dependable, nice, trustworthy, responsive, great with the dogs, and left our house in perfect condition. Most importantly, the dogs really like her! I appreciate the ease of mind she gave me, and I would definitely book her again.

Chelsea was beyond amazing. Immaculate communication and she sent me so many pics of my kids!! Even with the crazy storm, she still made it to our home and that was such a relief to know our kids were looked after. Chelsea goes above and beyond (she shoveled our driveway and helped a neighbor get unstuck). Would absolutely hire her again!

About: I have a dog of my own, and I’m away for college so I don’t see him much. I would love to connect with other dogs so I can feel more at home! I am currently a college student, so I have plenty of time to walk or visit your dog! I am available Monday-Thursday after 5pm, Friday after 1pm, and selective weekends. I have an electric fence at home which my dog has adapted to. I also make sure to walk him and play with him in order to keep him active, since he is an older dog.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, including my black lab, Sadie. She taught me how to be thoughtful of how pets feel, and as she aged, how to clean up lots and lots of poop in the house! I believe pets deserve a happy alternative to being boarded, and I intend to give that genuine connection to any pet I encounter! I am currently on summer break from college, but I decided to stay in the area. I have a couple of part-time jobs, but they are only a few hours a day, so I can designate more time to taking care of your pets! I can be pretty flexible with hours and days, and I don't care what time of day it is to make sure your pet gets the attention they need. Pet safety is my top priority. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—free from hazards, toxic plants, or small items they could swallow. I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely, from feeding schedules to exercise needs. As a collegiate athlete, I prioritize healthy foods and exercise, and I will make sure your pets do as well. In your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain a calm, comforting environment to reduce stress for your pet. I always supervise outdoor time and use secure leashes or fenced areas. You can count on regular updates and photos, so you feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a kid. I rescued my first baby, Dory, a little over 5 years ago and my heart has never been more full. Since then I have rescued another dog and 2 cats. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Taking care of animals is second nature and something I’m truly passionate about. My animals are my world and I am excited to share that love with even more animals. I have a fenced in yard that my 2 dogs love to spend time in. They have an overflowing basket of toys that always seems to be scattered across the house and yard. We take them for walks around the neighborhood and every so often we take them for a hike.

About: I have taken care of pets for nearly 10 years. From Dogs to cat to even birds. I’m the person that will walk your dog in the snow and enjoy it. I am also the person that will play with your cat for an hour straight. Pets are family and that’s how they deserve to be treated. I’m currently a bartender and big time traveler. I’m looking to make extra cash on weekends by doing what I love which is taking care of your little furry ones. I have fenced in yard for my dogs as well as indoor cats. My pets eat twice a day on a cautious diet due to them being elderly. I walk my dogs everyday if I can and play with my cat every single day as he is old but he’s very playful.

Max is a wonderful sitter! We love him and our dogs love him. He really cares and takes the time with your pets. Not just letting them out to potty and feeding, but actually taking the time to interact and play with them. He has his own pups and is a very knowledgeable trainer. I would give Max way more than five stars if I could and I highly recommend him to take care of your pets as well.

I am so lucky to have met and worked with Juliana. She has treated my dog and cat like her own. My elder dog has special needs and he has never looked better on the many photos and videos she has sent. She is a great communicater; we ironed out details via Rover text that I hadn’t communicated because I left in a rush. She is also flexible, agreeing to stay an extra day when my flight got canceled. I had no worries while away and will absolutelty book with Juliana going forward. She has my highest recommendation!
