“Bennie and Jennie took such good care of our 2 kitties in their home! Our cats have polar opposite personalities, so the cat suite worked perfectly for their needs. My grouchy kitty got plenty of space and warm spots for naps, and my sociable kitty got lots of play and cuddles. ❤️ We were happy knowing the cats weren't locked in a kennel or a tiny space for the duration of our trip. We got lots of pictures and videos daily, so we knew they were very well taken care of. We are happy we found this option for our upcoming cat sitting needs!”
“This was my first time using Rover — Hanah and Dabin were awesome! Very easy process to drop our guy off, and we got plenty of check-ins + pictures while they were watching him. My dog is high energy and they kept him busy! Your dog will be in good hands with these two.”
“Doug took care of our dogs as if they were his own. He frequently communicated their status and shared photos of them during their stay. He is very accommodating of any special needs. We highly recommend Doug and plan to request him next time we need pet sitting.”
“Booked Thavery for 8 day boarding. She sent photos and updates of Harold on a daily basis. I felt at ease while Harold was in her care; she walks several times a day. And he likes hanging out with her Dexter, good company. I highly recommend!”
About: I am a stay at home mom with a great lifetime of experience caring for dogs. Dogs have always been a part of my home and family, and providing attentive, nurturing care comes naturally to me. Over the years, I have cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I am comfortable caring for young dogs, older dogs, and those who require special routines or medications. I am patient, observant, and gentle, and I focus on creating a peaceful, structured environment where dogs feel safe and relaxed. I believe in balancing activity with rest, offering appropriate play, outdoor time, and quiet moments based on each dog's individual needs. Because I am home full time, I am able to give dogs consistent supervision and adjust care as needed throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care that closely resembles a home with family setting. I am home throughout the day, which allows me to provide dogs with consistent attention, care, and companionship. Because my schedule is very flexible, pets are not left alone for long periods and are closely monitored in a calm home environment. I am happy to accommodate a wide range of drop off and pick up times. When needed, trusted family members are nearby to help ensure continuity of care. My priority is making sure your dog always feels secure, attended to, and comfortable. My home includes a secure, enclosed yard that allows dogs to enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely. There is ample room for movement, rest, and supervised play. follow each dog's feeding schedule exactly as requested and make sure clean water is available at all times. I take routines seriously and am very attentive to any specific instructions so your dog's daily habits and comfort are maintained while in my care.
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“I'm so grateful to SaeWon who was incredibly flexible with my last minute request and schedule changes. She was so kind and patient with me, and she treated Piper with an abundance of love and care from the moment I dropped her off, to picking her up as she was being held like a baby in the arms of SaeWon's son. My Piper has terrible separation anxiety, but I can tell she was having a wonderful time from all the pictures and videos SaeWon sent throughout the day. She really gave me peace of mind that my baby was in good hands and being loved like their own.”
“Connie was amazing with Red! He’s barely been away from us in the 4 years we’ve had him. She was so kind and loving to him, she treated him as if he were her own.”
“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“This is the first time we have had a pet sitter take care of Ralph. Charlene and her family are the best! They sent me pictures of Ralph every day. They made me feel at ease. Ralph seems to like them too. I would like to ask for her help again! Thank you very much!!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, so we were a bit worried at first. However, she was incredibly kind and attentive, and took such great care of our dog. She made sure to keep up with walks, meals, and overall condition, and sent us regular updates and photos, which really put us at ease. Our dog looked very comfortable and stress-free the entire time. She is someone we can truly trust, and we highly recommend her!”
“Laura took amazing care of my dog Riggins. He was with her for just one night but in that time he had so many adventures and came home to me happy and exhausted. Laura also kept me updated with videos and photos throughout the stay which I much appreciate as a nervous dog mom!”

“2nd stay for the pup w/ Allison, and it was even better than the last! She sent consistent photos & updates - we were surprised (& happy) to hear that Zen also got along w/ her cat, Kenya! ☺️ Allison will definitely be a go-to sitter in the future!”
“Bridget was absolutely incredible with our boy! She and her family were so kind and caring, and updated us with lots of photos and videos. Our dog unexpectedly fell sick, and she not only immediately notified us, but took him to the emergency vet within minutes. She felt comfortable caring for him at home and he recovered well with her. Our dog became part of the family with her, and we would not hesitate to ask Bridget to watch him again in the future. She is an absolute gem!”
“Thank you for taking care of Milo. It was a last minute booking and I was glad Wen was available to watch Milo again. When our return flight was delayed she took care of Milo and reassured me before we got back. Responsive and lots of updates with pictures of our dog 🐶👌🏻📸”
“Croissant was really happy staying with Sungjin! He was prompt with replies and active in updating us with her walks and how she’s been doing, so we feel really at ease leaving our babygirl with Sungjin. Thank you so much for your love in taking care of her!”
“This was the first time leaving our fairly newly adopted dog with a sitter. Ines was wonderful with our temperamental Evie. She found unique, non-threatening ways of picking her up and Evie ended up being just fine with her. Ines was also diligent about sending regular updates and pictures every day to us. Would definitely recommend Ines!”
“Kristina was absolutely fantastic with my Shih Tzu, Bernie. She gave us updates and let me know if there were any issues. Bernie doesn’t like other dogs and I have also been scared of the new dog virus. She was incredibly understanding of this and assured me that she would avoid other dogs and do her best to keep him away. He seemed right at home with her and I’m so grateful to have found Kristina!”

Connie earned my trust years ago. I have left my dog Yolanda with her probably 15 times. Connie seems to be super sensitive to the feelings of my dog, as shown over and over in the photos of Yolanda that she has sent daily during all of my dog's stays with her. Yolanda is not well and takes roughly 10 pills each day so I need to have someone who I can rely on during the times when I am away and that person is Connie. I don't take a trip unless I know Yolanda can stay with Connie.
Ryan and his wife took THE BEST care of our little pup! They sent so many pictures and updates and it was so clear she was loved and active and having fun the whole time. Plus, their sweet dog Remy is the cutest ever and he was the nicest friend to our girl. We will absolutely book with Ryan the next time we need a sitter!
Our dog loves spending time with Chloe; and Chloe is so great at taking care of all our dog's needs, including medication, feeding schedule, and walks. She kept us updated while we were away and sent us daily photos. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!
I cannot recommend Dariya highly enough! One of our dogs has severe separation anxiety so if you’re nervous about leaving your fur babies and looking for a trustworthy, patient, attentive, and responsible home/pet sitter then I can guarantee you that she is the one to book. Dariya will put your mind at peace and that’s priceless! Dariya took the time to understand our dog’s quirks and routines. Like I said, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She absolutely found a repeat client with us! Any new client would be lucky to have her watch their home and pets!
Grace is an amazing pet mom. She treated Ollie so well he was a bit disappointed I picked him up. She sent pictures throughout the day and kept me updated about their activities. He had a few outings and was well exercised by the time I got him. Grace was also very accommodating when my work event ran over and I picked up Ollie a few hours later than expected
I had to travel out of the country for over a week, and Dabin and Hanah took exceptional care of Luka. They fed him, walked him multiple times a day, played with him, and truly treated him like their own. They even took him to the park and the mall, which Luka absolutely loved! They also sent us photos and videos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Since it was our first time leaving Luka with a sitter, we were definitely nervous at first especially with his golden doodle 1 year old energy, but Dabin and Hanah earned our trust very quickly. We would absolutely have Luka stay with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitters!
Tamia was so sweet and responsive. She kept me updated on my little guy while I was away. Even after receiving him, I can tell he was in good spirits. She took him on walks and was able to stick to his meal plan. I would definitely trust Tamia again with my fur child. Thank you so much, Tamia!
We were a bit nervous about having anyone watch Kylo, as she has never been with anyone but a family member. We found Twinkle based on her location and reviews and selected a meet-and-greet with her to see if there was a match for her, us, and our dog. From the moment we arrived, she was accommodating, informative, realistic, and positive. Our dog, who can struggle with trusting people, was calm around her and accepting of the environment provided. During our trip, she was as communicative and transparent as we requested. We never felt like we did not know what was going on, what was being done, and any concerns she had, so we can work the problem together. We felt taken care of, and we knew our dog was, too, which made the entire experience a great one for everyone. We will not only not hesitate to use her again, but we will also seek her services in the future.
