“Denise took great care of our Dixie. She sent lots of photos and reported daily as to how she was getting along with everyone. I couldn’t have asked for greater care of our baby. I heartily recommend Denise.”


“One of our neighbors recommended Grace to us when our regular sitter stopped boarding. Our dog is very shy and introverted when it comes to people she doesn’t know, and she took to Grace really well. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Lisa is very nice and you can tell she cares alot about dogs. It didn't take long at all for Lucy to be comfortable in her space and explore. Lisa kept me updated with lots of pictures of her playing and walking around which I loved! Lucy also came home very happy and tuckered out. Thank you, Lisa!”


“Amanda was amazing with my dog! Her dog is so loving and sweet too. I highly recommend and would absolutely use her again! Her communication was amazing and she sent me pictures of my boy when he was in her care and put my mind at ease. She was a delight!”


“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”


“So happy with Sarah. She was quick to respond. She sent me pictures of our dog, Rico and our kitty, Penny. They were very happy and content being with her and her mom. We felt peace of mind as well. She has a nice yard and sunroom. Plenty of space for our beagle to run and play. Very happy.”


“Mai is the best. Gilad comes home happy and exuberant. He is clearly well cared for and given plenty of attention and walks and I so much appreciate all the photos and videos! Thank you, Mai!”


“Becky is truly the best pet and most caring sitter ever! She knows exactly what Mel needs—whether it’s a walk, a treat, a toy, or just some love and attention. She keeps us updated daily with texts, videos, and photos, which we absolutely adore. Seeing Mel happy and relaxed, especially when she’s interacting with Becky’s lovely family and her adorable cats, Baby and Foles, makes us so happy. Every time we need a sitter, Becky is our first (and only!) choice. Mel will be going back to her any time we’re away. She’s simply the best!”


“So happy for this experience for our fur babies! Our dogs very much seemed to be in great company with Kassandra. We loved the updates and pictures from her throughout their stay with her. She was very communicative and flexible with us through the booking process and the actual stay as well. Looking forward to keeping in touch with her for our needs in the future!”


“They were amazing, gave updates throughout the time my Rose was there. My dog is a rescue so she has anxiety issues but they cared for her needs very well. Will definitely be using them more often.”


“Took great care of our senior dog for a several night stay. Pictures and great communication. Did a meet and greet beforehand at her home which was a great choice so that our dog would recognize the space and feel more relaxed when visit time came. Will use her again for sure!”


About: Hi there! I’m Toni, a lifelong animal lover and caring educator with over 20 years of experience as a dedicated pet parent. I’ve loved dogs since I was a child and have cared for breeds of all sizes—from tiny lap dogs to big lovable goofballs. More recently, I’ve ventured into the wonderful world of cats, and I’m absolutely smitten! I also have hands-on experience caring for chickens and small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs. As a professional educator, I’m naturally responsible, detail-oriented, and nurturing. I bring that same thoughtful approach to every pet I care for—tuning into their unique personalities and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your furry (or feathered!) friend needs a cozy cuddle, a brisk walk, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work full time but I am available in evenings and weekends to take care of your beloved pets. I enjoy long walks with pups and am not afraid of a little dog hair! (We have a senior Newfoundland in our house!) I always leash our animals before taking them outside. I I have a double door system for extra protection for our pets. I create a pet friendly home where your pet will get all of the snuggles and love!

“Clear & consistent communication, lots of space for play, proper introduction with other pups, photos & updates, etc. Once again super satisfied with Mary & her family taking care of my baby!”


“Second time yo have Amy as my Bella's sitter, Amy and Chris were awesome as usual, plenty of pics and feed back on a daily basis during our trip. Chris picked up and dropped bella on time which was a great time saver for us. Definitely will book again on our next month trip.”


About: Since a small kid my family has always had pets! I love them very much they would always count on me to take care of them while they’re away. I also have a pet of my own and her name is luna. You can count on me to make sure you and your pets needs are all met! I will make sure to give them all the love and care they deserve while you are away. I am currently unemployed so i have all the time in the world for your fur baby! I am available at any time that is needed. I care for my pet by cuddling with them, going out and playing with them, taking them to parks, giving them many treats and making sure they get all the love fur baby needs!
