“Fran and Julia were amazing caretakers of our two pets, a 10 year old dog and a 2 year old cat. They watched over them for a week while we were away, providing regular updates and photos. When we came home we greeted two very happy animals that were in good spirits and clearly well loved while we were away. Highly recommend Fran and Julia!”

“Guillermo was great with my skittish pets. My dog Freyja especially is usually very fearful with strangers and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn't know, but she warmed up to him to the point where he was able to put her harness on and off (which is a big deal- trust me.) The cat ended up cuddling on the couch with him too. And he took good care of the house too, leaving everything clean. He was great!”

“Jamie was fantastic! Brody absolutely loved spending time with her. She was attentive to him and his schedule and provided updates, which is so appreciated! Will definitely schedule her for more stays.”

“Jasmin took wonderful care of Gilly as always, sent us cute videos and photos, and helped us deal with an unexpected situation with our car getting damaged while we were away. She really went above and beyond and we can't say enough good things about her.”

“Tori was a great communicator while she housesat and dogsat for us over a weekend. She sent lots of little notes and photos which were appreciated and clearly was very attentive to our older dog who can be a little particular! Highly recommend.”

“Ian was very responsive and made sure to send lots of updates and pictures! Colby can be reactive and Ian made sure to take him to places that he could run around safely. Colby had a great time!”

“Abby was great! She took care of our 5 month old puppy on Christmas Eve so we could travel to visit family. She fed her, played with her, and attended to her many potty trips. Overall, great pet sitter!”

“I am very happy to have had Amanda to take of my tribe this past weekend. I’ve never had to ask Outside of family to help watch my pets and her services provided such comfort and ease. She is someone I will definitely use again!”

“Liz was amazing with our two dogs (who have totally different personalities and ages)! She genuinely cares about their well being and how to best take care of their needs. She quickly gained their trust, which is not easy with either of our dogs, as both have some anxiety with meeting new people. On top of that, she took great care of our house too! We are already booking her for more overnight stays. We’re so excited to have found someone who we can trust our pups and house too for short and extended stays!”


“Corinne was very loving and caring with our dog Frankie. She stayed for a full week round the clock and we are very happy with her communication and care. She brushed all the mats out of his fur, snuggled, walked and played with him, and helped him adjust to being without us for an extended period of time. She took care of our turtle and two chickens as well. We highly recommend her!”

About: No matter what I do, I can't stop taking care of other creatures! In my profession I am a psychotherapist to humans, and in my downtime I am a playmate to animals. I love nature almost as much as your dog does, and I would be honored to take your pups to the nearby conservation land, body of water, or around your very own neighborhood. I have the perfect mix of enthusiastic readiness to play and the calmer energy required to wind everyone down when needed. Over the summer I only work at my regular job 2 days per week (Monday/Thursday) and am otherwise at your disposal for pet sitting, including weekends. My availability starts on June 1st and will end on August 15th. I am open to caring for pets in your home, neighborhood, and the surrounding area! I have a car with a large cabin, and am able to transport your pet for further away adventures if desired. At your home, I am happy to provide feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication administration, basic grooming / baths, and of course, lots of playtime!
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Natalie. She took care of my 3 cats including a senior who has some special accommodations and medications. She was very kind, thorough, and respectful of my home. My cats can be a bit skittish but they gained comfort with her very quickly. I’ll do my best to rebook with Natalie next time i need a sitter. She made being away from home far less stressful.”

“Julia watched our 4 1/2 year old rescue pup over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was super responsive, flexible, and easy to reach, and sent late afternoon photos and an update every day. She stayed in our house and followed our instructions, and she was not intimated by our dog's ocassional reactive behavior with other dogs. She kept him happy and well exercised. And the house was clean when we returned. I hope to use Julia for dog sitting again soon!”

Corinne was very loving and caring with our dog Frankie. She stayed for a full week round the clock and we are very happy with her communication and care. She brushed all the mats out of his fur, snuggled, walked and played with him, and helped him adjust to being without us for an extended period of time. She took care of our turtle and two chickens as well. We highly recommend her!

When you come home and your cats are happier with your sitter than they were with you, you know you really got a great person to take care of your cats. Lila has always been extremely shy, but now she is outgoing and interacting with everyone. Jessica was extremely professional, reliable, and I recommend her without hesitation!

Veena house-sat for two nights to care for my three dogs and cat. I feel very comfortable to have her as my sitter and will be using her for my upcoming needs! When one of my dogs bolted out the front door, Veena spent nearly 5 hours in the heat to get her safely back inside, staying calm and trying numerous techniques. She kept me updated the entire time. One of my dogs has limited mobility. Veena would carry him outside and gently hold him up so he could use the bathroom, then bathed him so he’d be clean and comfortable when I returned. Soiled mats were laundered as well. She also administered medications, sent regular photo and video updates, and gave all my pets genuine affection and care. Amazing care—I highly recommend her!

Abbie was GREAT! We had never left our pup w/ anyone but family! She warmed up to him right away. (He was a little stubborn but he came around) It was a piece of mind having him in our house. She came slept w/ him @ night. It was a great fit! I will DEFINITELY be using Abbie again!

I had Kristin stay at my home for a week in May, 2025. She took care of my Boxer dog Henry (high energy) and my 14 year old cat Maggie. I was nervous as this was my first time with Rover and also leaving my pets for a week. All during my trip I had no worries. Photos and updates daily so I was able to relax and enjoy myself. I am now able to plan more vacations because I have someone I can trust with my pets. Kristin is my go to person from now on. Thanks Kristin!!!!
