“Extremely happy with our booking with Anusha. Great communication with video and text updates throughout the days Buddy stayed. Felt very comfortable leaving him in Anusha’s care. I would recommend Anusha to anyone and would use her again🤓”

“We were very nervous to leave the love of our lives, our pup Cocoa, with a sitter while we planned for a big trip. Cocoa is a very smart yet gentle and loving. She has anxiety in unfamiliar surroundings. The experience with Sophia however overturned all our worries about leaving Cocoa with a stranger. Sophia is incredible and our pup had the best time at her place. She took care of every minute detail, sent us updates and also went out of her way to ensure Cocoa does not miss her family. We are grateful for Sophia and her family’s efforts in keeping Cocoa safe and energized.”

“David was a fantastic caregiver for our dog during our month long overseas trip. We were incredibly impressed with his dedication, reliability and attention to our pet's well-being. He ensured our dog got plenty of exercise with daily walks, play time and seemed to genuinely enjoy his company. We were impressed by David’s consistent communication; his almost daily updates with photos were reassuring. It was evident that our dog was happy and comfortable in David’s home. We were especially pleased to see how David helped our dog socialize with other dogs, which was a great benefit. We highly recommend David as a responsible and loving pet sitter.”

“Sabrina did a phenomenal job with our dog! I was really worried as our guy is 16 years old with dementia and requires medication. She took care of him as if he were her own and even her kids loved him! I so appreciate that she was patient with our dog, since he can be a bit of a handful sometimes (ie. He paces a lot, requires medication, needs to be hand fed). I completely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a sitter! Thank you so much!”

“Sweet caretaker, always updating and sending photos and video of my dog. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone else, but I left very relieved that I left my dog in good hands. It’s also great that she was only taking care of other small dogs at the time, which gave me a peace of mind that my small dogs would be safe, while also giving my dog the opportunity to play with others. Definitely will be booking again, thank you!”

“Hi, I can tell when my dog was not stressed upon return from a boarding experience and our dog, was happy when no the caring hands of Steve and co. I got regular updates and My dog went on long walks and hikes. He had the company of other dogs and behaved in Steve’s presence- him being a trainer himself. Both the parties felt that it was a good fit - before boarding. Will not hesitate to recommend Steve with a glowing 5-stars!”

“We had a sitter for our pup for 3 yrs and had to find him a new sitter since we moved. After looking at several sitter we ate really happy and blessed to find Christy and her family. They are very loving and caring and took a very good care of our pup. They also shared an update with a picture which gave us a peace of mind that our puppy is well taken care of. Thank you Christy and family!”

“Sofia was awesome with our pup! She was super confident, friendly, and reliable. Pixel was totally happy and relaxed staying with her while we were away. Would definitely leave him with her again!”

“Kristena was amazing! She did such a great job with our puppy who is kind of shy and not used to other people. She was a great communicator and gave us lots of updates and pictures. She really went above and beyond. I would highly recommend her and would definitely board with her again!”

“Michael and family were wonderful. We received daily updates with the highlights of the day including a heartwarming array of photos and videos. It was great to get day-by-day updates as our dog became comfortable in thier home and enjoyed the array of engaging activities.”

“Obsessed with Sara and her family. She took great care of Lola and I could tell Lola felt right at home. They went on plenty of walks and I received plenty of photos. Would definitely leave Lola with her again!”

“Jesse did a great job of making my timid cat feel comfortable and cared for during his stay. He was attentive, patient and responsive. He did a great job communicating and keeping me updated during my absence as well.”

“Nevin & her family were amazing! The moment I met them I knew I chose the right sitter for my fur baby! They are so sweet and welcoming! Nevin was amazing at sending frequent updates & I knew my cat was in great hands. They went above & beyond, I had immense peace of mind while I was away. I will continue to rebook any & every time I need a sitter with her & her family :) Mercury LOVED her time with them!”

About: I’ve have been walking and taking care of dogs for the last 4 years now. From puppies to senior dogs that require medication, or stroller walks. I’m currently a stay at home mum, so I’ll have time to walk and play with your pooches. I am available Monday’s, Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons, Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and 1 small male dog, (4 yrs old). I have 3 kids ( 20,18 and 14). My husband works from home 2 times a week as well.

“My experience with Ron was amazing! This was my first time ever letting someone watch over my best friend(pup) and Ron made me feel really comfortable that I wouldn't have to worry about anything. He communicated and sent pictures every day which was awesome to see how my pup was doing. Ron treated my dog as if it was his own, he will take care of your animal and make sure your needs are taken cared of. Thank you again!!”

“We had a great experience with Deana. We had a last minute situation where we needed to leave our newly adopted pup, Aspen, for 6 days. Deana jumped right in and not only took great care of her, but also worked on basic crate training skills with her. It was easy for us to continue with her crate training when we returned back home and it has really helped us all get into a good daily rhythm. Deana is very experienced with dogs and that definitely made us feel confident and able to relax while we were away. We feel so grateful that we now have a trusted person to help us with our girl next time we travel!”

“I felt right at ease and I could tell, Toto did too. I loved that Scarlet was attentive to his immediate needs asking if he’d had his meal or not, then reassuring us with pictures of his day and saying good night for him. It is good to know he felt loved. Thank you, we will reach out again soon.”

Thank you Michaela for taking such good care to my lil Mishty and being prompt with responding for one full week. Thank you for coping up with my late picks up and adjusting accordingly. My Mishty came back happy and clean. I will definitely look up for you when I’m off on vacation again.

Sonali was absolute LOVE for my Maggie. She was very understanding during the booking and took great care in knowing Maggie's schedule. I wasn't worried about leaving my pet with her at all. She sent great pictures and videos throughout the stay and made sure my pet had a great time.

Jacqueline took absolutely fantastic care of our dog, Smokey, while we were away! She kept us thoroughly updated with frequent pictures and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind during our vacation. Smokey had a great time, receiving plenty of walks and exercise, and lots of fun playtime. He came back to us happy, well-rested, and clearly very well looked after. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Smokey!

We recently left our dog for a full week, and it was our first time using a dog sitter. From the initial consultation, Natasha was incredibly clear and professional in explaining her approach, routine, and house rules. This transparency immediately made us feel comfortable. The updates, complete with wonderful pictures, were extremely comforting and made our time away much more relaxing. It was so nice to see our dog happy and settled. We will absolutely be using Natasha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and reliable dog sitter!

Son and her family took great care of my 14 yr old dog Willow! I was able to relax during Thanksgiving knowing Willow was surrounded with company and cozy home. She came back much happier and relaxed compared to my last Rover experience with a different sitter. Willow didn’t want to leave when I picked her up, that’s how much she enjoyed her stay with Son.

I left Skippy and Art with Elaine for a whole week and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met her, it was apparent she’s a total dog person. My boys took to her instantly. She insisted on a meet-and-greet beforehand so they’d feel at home, which already put her head and shoulders above most sitters. While I was away, she sent the sweetest updates and photos almost every day. Like, Skippy and Art stealing her spot on the bed. I was halfway across the country and never once worried. Hands down the best boarding experience we’ve ever had. If you need someone who’ll love your dogs like her own, Elaine’s your person. I’m already hoping she’s free next time I travel!
