“Phillip took such great care of our energetic dog Moose! He made sure all the dogs got along well and his fenced in yard is perfect for dogs who love to play. We would trust bringing Moose back at any time and are really lucky to have found Phillip so we could feel comfortable with a weekend away knowing Moose was having so much fun!”

“My dog has never been so content returning from boarding. It was evident that Rachael and her family took great care of her. I definitely would not hesitate to send my dog to Rachael again.”

“Samantha and her family are seriously the best. We are so fortunate to have found them. They are flexible and very communicative. We consider them Fae’s 2nd family and trust them completely.”

“Cherie was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and for my new dog I had only had for two months, so I was uncertain about the whole process. Cherie was very responsive and easy to work with. My dog isn’t the easiest dog ever but Cherie managed her well. With the big fenced in backyard and other dog friends to play with, I wasn’t sure my dog waned to leave at the end!! Highly recommend. Almost forgot- we had a few travel hiccups coming back and Cherie was really understanding and we were able to book an extra night. Five stars!”

“I can’t say enough how happy I am to have found Julianna. She has a great personality, is informative and took our girl (Brook) in as one of her family, in fact - her entire family took her in. We didn’t get the usual ‘cold shoulder’ from Brook when we returned from our vacation, so that speaks volumes. This is our third time we’ve had to leave Brook to travel. I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Hard to leave, but knowing Brook will be well taken care of and happy makes it MUCH easier. She earned and deserves all five stars from our family!”

“This was the first sleep away for Blossom and Mia but they had a fabulous time!!! I appreciated the updates/pictures and the flexability with drop off. It was a great experience.”

“I would never leave my dog without first meeting someone, so the fact she suggested it made me feel right from the start we were on the same page. We had a meet and greet and came away feeling that Louie would be well cared for. It was clear Lainey genuinely cares for dogs. She was great with her communication and pictures. She kept us updated with his eating, exercise, mood and elimination. It was comforting to know how he was doing during the day, We look forward to his visit with her again this summer.”
“Alberta watched our 2 bunnies for a weekend and we were so lucky to have found her! She definitely knows her stuff/how to take care of small animals and their unique needs and personalities. She sent us photo updates of them, which was great! It was so nice to have peace of mind on our trip, knowing our buns were in great hands. Everything was packed up and ready to go at the set pick up time. I would highly recommend her for any small pet! Thank you!!!”


About: I have not been an official sitter before, but I have been a dog owner for 20 years and know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Dogs are family, and I understand the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We do not currently have any fur friends at home, so we would be honored to share that love with your dog. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to routines and needs, and communicate clearly so you can feel confident while you’re away. Because we do not currently have pets at home, we have room in our routine to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship. We can be intentional about feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and we know how important it is to keep dogs on a routine that helps them feel safe and settled. We know dogs are family, so we care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. Our home is currently without other pets, which allows us to offer a calm environment and focused care. We will follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your dog’s comfort and behavior, and communicate clearly so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Shankar and his family were accommodating with our dog’s needs and took great care of him. We truly appreciated him keeping us well informed of everything that went on each day and sending plenty of pictures. We would definitely love to board with him again in the future!”

“My very senior Great Pyr, Katia, was safe and sound for two weeks under Donnie's excellent care. So glad and grateful for him, and especially appreciate the photographs!!”

“Andrea is a warm and caring pet sitter. Within minutes of our arrival, my dog relaxed and settled in. I was able to enjoy a weekend away knowing that he was safe and being taken care of very well.”

“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a sitter. Lucille was great! She maintained great contact and was very in tuned to the nuances of each dog. I was thrilled that the dogs got exercise and went on lots of walks! Would definitely use Lucille again!”

“Ava was incredible! She went above and beyond to exercise Millie throughout the day, send photos and videos, and give her lots of love. Millie was allowed on the bed and the couch and we felt so comfortable leaving her with Ava for 5 days! I Highly recommend her!”

“Very thorough when I dropped my dog off Reported back to me the details of his day seemed very capable. Finn was very relaxed and seemed perfectly adjusted in a situation where he normally would be very upset. I pup has severe anxiety separation, but he did great.”

“I recently boarded my dog with Daria for the first time, and I was a bit nervous since it was my dog's first experience staying in a stranger's house. However, Daria was amazing! She made my dog feel comfortable and at ease right away. The updates and pictures she sent showed how well my dog was adapting and enjoying the stay. Her kindness and attention to detail made all the difference. I highly recommend Daria for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter, especially for first-timers!”

We had a fantastic experience with Nick as our dog sitter for Remy. He was excellent at keeping us updated, sending us regular pictures which we really appreciated. It was clear Remy was in great hands and received wonderful care. We highly recommend Nick and will absolutely be booking him again for future needs!
