“Our dog is nervous around new people and this was our first time using a pet sitter. Samantha provided daily updates with photos of Sage. It was great seeing that he felt comfortable with Samantha. He was happy and healthy when we returned. I will definitely use her again for future trips.”

“Rachel was absolutely amazing with our two large pups. They’re super needy for attention and love and Rachel made them feel safe and secure while we were gone for almost a week. She fed them on time and maintained the same routine we have for them when we are home. Highly recommend and cannot wait to book her to watch our pups on our next trip! 10/10 exceptional service”

“I have booked with Jessica countless times because she is the best pet sitter anyone could ask for. I have two dogs and a cat and one of my dogs is a sick senior dog with millions of specific needs. Jessica is so kind to take care of all of the peculiar needs and I just can’t think of anyone else to take care of my pets.”
“Cindy was a great sitter for Tippy! He is a very anxious dog. She was patient with him and waited until he came to her. She worked with him to get him to eat while I was gone. I highly recommend Cindy! She worked with me when I had to leave a day early. She came in and took care of things.”

“Naho was amazing! She went above and beyond for my pup even got her some toys. Although it was mother’s day we came to an agreement that worked for both of us and I’m glad I picked Naho as my sitter. Very detailed as many photos and check ins were sent throughout the visit and also was extremely punctual and kind. Definitely will be booking again and again 😁”

“Destiny was very professional, sending photos throughout and keeping in touch the whole time I was away. She stayed in my home and left no trace. My pup really seemed to like her as well during the meet and greet. Would definitely recommend and will be using again!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I currently have 4 dogs and an umbrella cockatoo! I love all animals big and small! I especially love large breed dogs! I’m currently looking for a position in animal care and am looking for experience to achieve that. I have open availability currently. I’m available for house sitting, check in visits or walking services. I treat all pets like they’re my own! I understand how to interact with new pets and am aware not all pets will want contact. I enjoy sticking to a routine. I’m well versed in giving medication to dogs and keeping to a schedule if needed.

About: I’ve been pet/house sitting for the last couple of years. The most animals I’ve worked with at one time is 4. I’m great with a schedule if your pet needs it. I love all pets and I can’t wait to get to know yours! I’m available most of the time I’m not working right now so the only time I won’t be free are for personal matters. I am looking for new work so this may change. I have worked with both larger and smaller dogs. If they are still working in training I can continue to work with them on what they know. I have helped train in the past but I haven’t done any primary training myself.
“I got home to two pups who were excited to see me, but otherwise calm and happy. Dylan is a kind, chill presence and it seemed that Rocko and Hazel took their cue from that, and followed suit. They were obviously well cared for. The ability to remain home, for these two anyway, went a long way in giving me the peace of mind to be away for a few days. I would not hesitate to recommend Dylan to friends, neighbors or family needing care for their pets, nor will I hesitate to place Rocko and Hazel in Dylan's reliable hands in the future. Thank you so much, Dylan!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I feel like we made a great choice hiring Dan! Dan made our first experience better by happily offering to meet the pups in advance to make sure the pet sitting weekend went smoothly. His calm energy was really reassuring, especially because one of our dogs is a bit anxious. When we got home our dogs were happy and the house was tidy. We will definitely use him again for any pet sitting needs in the future.”

“Tiffany is my go to for Bruno every time I have to go anywhere. She is a life saver. She takes care of Bruno’s special needs and is very accommodating. Would recommend her 10/10.”

“James did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was on vacation. He sent me pics and videos every day so I could see how my boys were doing. The house was spotless and so was the litter box. Highly recommend! And I would definitely re-hire.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and I’ve taken care of all of them (I spoiled them way too often). I grew up with a German Shepherd mix, always played with her, even lied on the floor and cuddled with her when she got old. I adopted a cat in 5th grade (she’s turning 10 this year!) and my dad and I call her the queen of the house because of how much we spoil her and how big of a diva she is. My mom adopted a Yorkie and he’s a rascal that I’ve always enjoyed playing with, and feed him this special food my mom buys since he’s 12 now. My mom also adopted a full bred German Shepherd in 2021 and it’s always fun trying to keep up with her when we go outside. I adopted two kittens in 2025 and people say I need to save my money instead of buying them new everything… I won’t stop spoiling my fur babies. My brother also has a Mastiff Pitbull mix who is full of energy and is purely muscle, he’s actually knocked me down a few times when we rough housed (tug-of-war is a game I’ll never win). And a family friend always asks me first to take care of her dogs because she knows I take care of them (she said Stanley, her biggest dog, is obsessed with me because he never leaves my side). School is out, so I’m free all summer and I’ll have plenty of time to spend time and take care of your pets. When I take care of cats I always take care of their litter boxes in the morning after I feed them, and then spend the rest of the day playing with them or snuggling. And dogs, I have a large backyard and a friendly dog that loves to play with other dogs.
“Kasianay did an absolutely amazing job with our girl Mable. She was very professional and made sure to get any and all information she would need while house sitting for us. She did a great job keeping us up to date which left us feeling safe and comfortable. Our dog Mable always had a big smile in all the pictures she sent. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be requesting her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12, I grew up with four of my own and would often pet sit for my neighbors. I also now own cats and have around 4 years of experience taking care of them personally! I am, luckily, able to create my own work schedule so I can be available any day and anytime morning or night for your pets! I do not offer services in my own home due to my personal pets, but in your home I can make sure that your pet is comfortable and not lonely while you are gone! I love to play with animals and am very good with a schedule if you have one! I also love to spend time outside so taking your pet out or for a walk is no problem either!
“Melissa took amazing care of my dog and my home while I was out of town. I truly felt at ease as soon as I met her and the entire time I was away. My dog was happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved and cared for- which means everything to me as a pet owner. Melissa was responsible, attentive, and communicative- keeping me updated and making sure everything ran smoothly at the house as well. I returned to a very content pup and the house maybe better than I left it, lol. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy and genuinely caring. I would absolutely ask her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and compassionate pet and house care !”

About: I have been taking care of pets for years. Anything from farm animals to fish! I love every animal as if they were my own. I can feed, water, play, and give medicines when needed! I’m working part-time and can stop by on my way home anytime during the week to take care of your pets. I am also available on the weekends! I have four dogs and four cats that are all different age ranges so I am able to have the energy for a puppy, but also be able to give medicine and slow walks for elderly pets.
