“Amelia is wonderful! We were so happy to be able to be away and know that she's taking good care of our pup. The fact that our anxious little dog loves her says it all.”

“This was Toffeenut's first time being babysat without his big bro, but I can tell he had fun with the other doggies in the home. Thank you, again, Leah for taking care of my baby boy. And thanks for assisting me with canceling Frappuccino's reservations after he passed.”

“I can always judge how much fun Charlie had by how tired he is at the end of the day. When I got Charlie home, I could tell he had a ton of fun playing and was well taken care of. Came home and went straight to the couch for a nice long nap. Thanks for caring for our baby boy!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Xeno received! Boris and Olga sent great updates and photos that kept us at ease. Xeno came back super happy and clearly well-rested—we’ll definitely be booking with them again.”

About: With a genuine love for animals and more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for your furry family member while you’re away. Whether it’s fun walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and make their happiness my top priority. If you’re planning a weekend getaway, vacation, or need extended overnight care, I offer a cozy home setting where your dog can feel relaxed, secure, and well cared for. Your pup will enjoy comfortable bedding, fresh water available throughout the day, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I always prioritize safety by ensuring pets are supervised and outdoor spaces are secure. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the best care possible. Since I work fully from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate different pet sitting needs, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. As long as the schedule and any special instructions are communicated with me ahead of time, I can plan accordingly to make sure your pet receives consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every pet. My home has a secure fenced yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care so they feel relaxed and happy while their owner is away. I also keep the space clean, secure, and calm, and I always prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being.
“Christopher and his wife took such great care of our dog Zoey while we were away. We got text updates on how she was doing and photos and videos too! It helped us feel at ease knowing she was well taken care of. The meet and greet before hand helped to confirm our decision to book with them and we are so glad we did!”

“Finding TR was truly one of the best things that’s ever happened to us! This was our second time booking with her, and this time she cared for our cat for almost a full month while we were away on our honeymoon. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, and it gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell our cat felt comfortable, loved, and truly cared for the entire time. TR is reliable, communicative, and treats your pet like her own. We honestly can’t imagine traveling without her. We’re beyond grateful and highly recommend booking with her — your fur baby will be in amazing hands! 💕🐾”

“Iggy had a wonderful time at Michael’s. Before booking and throughout the process, Michael was very effective and prompt in our communication. After meeting Michael at the meeet and greet, we decided to proceed. Michael and Kris took great care of Iggy during his 4 night stay. Michael sent us updates and when my partner picked up Iggy, he could tell that Iggy had been well taken care of and come to love it there as well. Thank you for taking care of our baby!”


“Matthew was very responsive and provided a lot of timely updates. We have a senior large dog and he was very accommodating with the complications that came with taking care of our dear senior girl. We’d definitely rebook if needed.”

“Another great stay with Julie. Laila has stayed with Julie and her husband for the 4th time I think. They’re wonderful, always sending us pics of Laila and letting us know how she’s doing. And she always seems very happy with them.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Megha and his family! They are extremely responsive and communicative, and they clearly love dogs. We received tons of photos and videos, which made us feel at ease the whole time. They were very thorough, took our dog on plenty of walks, and gave her lots of attention. Truly a wonderful family of dog lovers. Don’t look any further, we’ll definitely book with them every time again!”


About: I am a lifelong dog lover and proud mom to a 2 year old French Bulldog with IVDD. She is quiet, submissive, and a little timid, so I understand the importance of gentle care and patience. I only take potty-trained, non-reactive dogs who are ready for calm love and attention. Having grown up with dogs all my life, I know how to read their cues and help them feel comfortable and happy. I would love to care for your furry friend and make them feel right at home. Unfortunately, my husband and I are allergic to cats, and we don’t have experience caring for them, so we are unable to provide cat care. I have a flexible work schedule, and the days I list as available on Rover are frequently updated. On those days, I can give your pup my full attention, including walks, love, playtime, and cozy snuggles. Our apartment is secure and gated and our dog-friendly community even has an on-site dog park for safe walks and playtime. For the comfort and safety of all dogs, I like to do a quick meet-and-greet with my dog to make sure everyone feels happy and relaxed together.
“Our Coco stayed with Queenie & Yu-Chieh for 10 days whie we were out of town. They frequently sent us photos and videos to keep us posted of how Coco is doing. They took very good care of Coco and we are grateful for the wonderful care they gave to Coco. We will definitely book again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Yoonji and Hyunjoong, and would definitely trust Bomi with them again. Bomi stayed with them for 5 nights over the Christmas holiday while we were out of town, and I was able to see in pictures they’d sent that Bomi was very comfortable with them and their dog Joey. Drop off and pick up communication was seamless, which is a big plus. You can tell that they are very caring people, so I immediately felt comfortable trusting them with Bomi.”

“It was Lola's first time with Tracey and it was a great experience! Tracey was quick to respond, kept me updated, and sent pictures! Lola will be back to visit Tracey again!”

“Mình treated Harley like he was her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She sent daily updates, including activities, meals, and plenty of adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Harley felt right at home with her. I’m so grateful for the care and love she showed him—highly recommend!”

Hoping that Queenie will always be Dex's dog sitter!! Booked with her multiple times when I need to travel and I know I can trust her and her husband to take care of my dog while I am out of town. She is very fast in communication love all the photos and updates she sends over!

We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Son to care for our dog, Joy, while we are away. He took very good care of him, and gave him lots of walks and cuddles! He is one of the very few people on here who seem to be doing this purely out of love for animals and it shows in the way he cares for them. We highly, wholeheartedly recommend Son! :-)

Olive enjoyed her time with Chris and Maria. Apparently they may have even let her slide into the bed at night (I guess she was feeling lonely lol). The place has a nice big yard and dogs are well supervised. Received status updates and prompt responses for all inquiries/requests

Xiuhui is an amazing dog sitter and made our first boarding experience so smooth and stress-free. My dog was very nervous at the beginning, but Xiuhui was incredibly patient, experienced, and caring, and helped him adjust to the new environment very quickly. She sent me daily updates and treated my baby like her own dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was always fast and thoughtful, and I truly felt my dog was in the best hands. Highly recommend!

Malika took such good care of Zuko and made my long weekend trip stress free! From the beginning, she asked me a lot of questions about Zuko and his routine. She was happy to brush his teeth and follow his eating routine, which is such a relief because not all sitters do that. She was very easy to talk to and gave constant updates and photos.

Vy is the very best! We have never had a sitter who takes such good care of our babies 🐶🐶!! Due to medical reasons we had to extend our stay and she was so supportive and caring!! We didn’t have the extra stress of worrying about them because our babies always come back healthy, happy and like they have been on vacation!! Thank you so much Vy, we are so grateful for you!💕

John and his family were absolutely amazing with Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. He sent daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and really comforted us while we were away. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the pets he watches, and Winnie looked so happy and well taken care of the entire time. We’re so grateful for the love and attention he gave her, and we will definitely be booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!
