“Rachel was so great with my anxious dog. He is terrified of fireworks and he was comfortable staying with Rachel for New Year’s Eve. She was also wonderful at sending photos and updates through the stay. I would most definitely contact her to dog sit again.”

“Amanda did an amazing job looking after our fur babies. She kept us updated on our pups and she gave us a peace of mind knowing that our pups will be well taken care of. We will definitely re-book with her in the future.”

“We hired Nancy to watch our 10 year old lab, Molly. Nancy is friendly and met with us twice before we left to make sure she knew Molly’s routine. We were gone for 10 days. We received daily updates and pictures of Molly’s adventures while going on walks. Nancy genuinely cares for your pet. We feel so blessed to have found Nancy on Rover.com. Everything was left in order when she finished the job. We appreciate her love for our Molly girl. Thanks so much, Nancy, for taking such good care of Molly. We will use Nancy’s services whenever possible for our getaways.”

“Candi did an excellent job house sitting for me and gave all three of my pets plenty of love. She even washed the sheets and made the bed before she left. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs in home sitting.”

“I am very happy that I found Julie to care for my cats while I was away. She kept to my detailed feeding schedule and was patient with the boys while they warmed up to her. Julie sent photos of them when she could, sent messages to give me updates, and answered my questions in a timely and complete manner. Thanks Julie! ??”

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.
“Sidney did a great job of caring for my 2 dogs and one aged cat. One of my dogs is diabetic requiring insulin injections, daily eye drops and oral meds and she handled all of it. She kept in touch daily with photos and texts, and I especially appreciated that she did not hesitate to contact me if she had a question. To top it off, she left our home clean and orderly, just the way we left it. She exceeded our expectations!”

“Evan & Quinn were the most thoughtful and reliable pet sitters we’ve ever met. They were able to help with a longer housesitting stay and care for our dog Sky AND her 5 newborn puppies. They went above and beyond to keep us updated daily and deal with all the little quirks and concerns that came up. They were also very courteous of our home and left everything neat and tidy. We would trust them with any pet care and will absolutely book them again.”

“Pazao was and is a dream! She took the BEST care of our almost 4 year old English Bull Terrier and we couldn’t have asked for more! She also house sat during her time with Biggie Duane and we are so thankful for the peace her care brought to us. If we could give a 10 star review we would! Thank you Pazao for everything!”

“Sophia was so wonderful!! She was very sweet, sent me consistent pics of my corgi with great communication, & left my house looking just how I left it. Couldn’t recommend her enough!! Thank you ❤️”

“Simonne is the best!!! She did an outstanding job with our two dogs!! They both warmed up to her immediately. She kept us updated with pictures and treated them like they were her own. It is clear that she is an expert in caring for animals. We were so happy to find someone we can trust with our dogs and we hope to have her dog sit for us again in the future!”

“Emily was great! She house sit Ricky for almost two weeks and took his care very seriously. She was communicative and considerate, even about little things like using the vacuum around Ricky. Ricky is old and has some peculiarities but Emily took it all on like a pro!”

“Becky knew what to do for Ready’s separation anxiety! He was a happy puppy when I got home. Becky is a good communicator and my dog loves her! I’ll ask her to come again.”

“Josh accepted our last minute request so that we could leave town for a funeral and even arrived at 4:30 am for our early flight. He took great care of our dogs and even checked to make sure things were good with our reptile. In addition he left the house as he found it and cleaned up after himself.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about six years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic young animals to older pets that need a little extra attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible and I am generally available at most times. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last minute bookings whenever needed.
