“I usually use Rover's boarding option, however, I wasn't able to find anyone in close proximity during this busy summer. With this being my first time using the house sitting service, I was nervous about leaving my dog and opening my home to someone I had just barely met. However, Mahle made this experience less stressful. We established a meet and greet a few days after I initially requested the days I needed a sitter for my dog. She responded promptly to my messages and showed up right on time. She was friendly, interacted and played with Koa as we discussed Koa's schedule and personality. When we were away, I did have to message her to see how everything was going and she responded quickly with updates of my dog and a picture. She was very respectful of my property and most importantly I came home to a happy dog. I feel more at ease using this Rover option and will definitely ask Mahle if she can sit for my dog in the future. Thank you, Mahle!!”
“Mallory did a great job of watching our dog Cooper. She and Emily were very responsive to any messages, very professional with the set up of the services and we were very stress free leaving the dog with them. Will absolutely be booking again in the future.”
“Kaitlyn was great house sitting my dog boomer! She stayed two nights and took great care of my fur baby and house! Followed all directions. Would use again! Thank you!”
“Alisha is amazing! The dogs kept their normal routine and everyone was happy and healthy during our vacation. We love all the updates and photos. I wish there were more stars to give. We highly recommend Alisha.”
“Brianna was wonderful. I had never left my dog with anyone overnight before, and she went above and beyond. Giving me updates and sending pictures, and he looked so happy! She gave him his medicine and did all of his favorite things with him. I’m so happy to have someone I trust now if I have to leave him overnight.”
“Emma was wondeful! She quickly established rapport with our two reactive dogs. She sent updates and photos, which we greatly appreciated. Emma was respectful and kept our home tidy. We already have her booked for an upcoming trip and have recommended her to some family friends!”
About: 10 years experience is just how long since I’ve started getting paid to Pet Sit but my experience goes back since a child with our family pets, then my own little family as an adult always included our pets. I have experience with puppies and elderly doggies. I am currently not working so very open and flexible to all days and times. I plan to do Pet sitting/care part-time at first but am hoping it works out to be able to do more on a full-time basis. At this time I am not open to Pet sitting in my home as my apartment is small and I live with my teenage son and his dog lives with us who is territorial.
“I was so lucky to have found Vickie to sit with my two pups while I was on a long trip. I had never left my dogs with anyone before and was so nervous until I met her. She was so kind and met my pups ahead of time to make them comfortable. She was very trustworthy and I knew I could enjoy my trip knowing they were in excellent hands. I would recommend Vickie to anyone and was so thankful that she took such great care of them. She really went above and beyond and sent me updates just to see how they were doing. Thank you Vickie for everything!”
About: I’ve fostered 11 dogs in my adult life in addition to owning two of my own. I’ve had up to 5 dogs living with me at a time and am one to embrace the chaos! Whether I’m staying with your dog overnight or just dropping by for a visit with them, I can help with potty training, socialization, and even teaching your dog basic commands like sit, down, and stay. My 5 year old mutt is a Canine Good Citizen so I know a little about best practices with training. I’m a firm believer in science backed, positive reinforcement only methods so your dog will never be yelled at, dominated, or made fearful under my care. If I’m walking your dog I’m not intimidated by poor leash manners and am happy to help work on them during our walks! No matter your needs, I’m here to help! I work from home 4 days a week, only going to the office on Thursdays. I’m available to help out anytime I’m not in the office. If your dog can be left alone on Thursdays from 8am-4:30pm I’m even available to help on Thursdays. I have two dogs who love other dogs in my home who would be available to help with socializing your dog. I’m a big believer in science based, positive reinforcement training only. Your dog will never be yelled at, dominated, or made fearful when under my care. My 5 year old mutt is very confident and great with showing other dogs (specifically puppies) the ropes.
“Jennifer was awesome. She was so great with Sarge, kept me updated on their goings on, and sent the cutest videos with commentary. Sarge had a great time with Jennifer and we will definitely be calling her again!”
“Corinne was fantastic with our dog and two cats. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very easy to work with throughout the process. We’ve already booked Corinne for our next trip and know the pets and house will be in great hands.”
“Natalie was AWESOME with Grey! She came to meet him a few times, before she stayed with him, to insure he was comfortable with her. She was very good with Grey. She played with him more than we do, I am sure. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day. She contacted me if something arose that I had not mentioned or explained about his idiosyncrasies. He loves her, and so do we. We were concerned that he would want to go with her, when she left / went home from the stay!! That is how much she did for him.”
“We loved having Christina watching Whiskie while we were out of town and Whiskie also loved making a new friend! Great with communication and updates and genuinely cares about the animals! Would love to have her watch our dog again!”

Bailey H.
“Bailey has watched Lola a few times now since she was a pup. Her dogs are very well behaved and very social, sometimes I just bring my dog around to just hang out with hers and play. She is a good trainer and very patient with puppies. When you walk in the room with your dog her eyes light up so you know she loves animals for real. You can just tell . I would for sure say use Bailey if you go on vacation or even if you just want to get your dog out for a playtime with other animals during the time you are away”
