“I am so grateful to have found Katherine! She took great care of my dog Frankie. Frankie has some special needs and is very small and half-blind and I couldn’t have found a better, more gentle and loving person to trust him with for my time away. I felt so secure knowing Frankie was well take care of with Katherine, she really treated him with love and that’s the best I could ask for! Thanks!!”


“We are very pleased with the care Bianca gave our dog Marlo. We could tell that Marlo enjoyed staying with Bianca and her mom and felt at home. We would definitely recommend her to my family and friends.”


“Brianna was very accommodating to my dog's health needs and to drop off and pick up changes. It's clear that she cares deeply about the wellbeing of both her own and her boarder dogs. My dog had a great time playing with her dog and getting lots of snuggles!”


“Malik has done such a wonderful job taking care of our dog on three different occasions! Our pup looks so happy to see him and comes home clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”



“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”


“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter/ second family to Cubbie. She is always so attentive, gives frequent updates (about his sleeping, walking and play mates at her house.) My husband and I call her summer camp for Cubbie. She is a wonderful person and extremely communicative. We have had Cubbie stay with her several times and she is our go to person. We can’t recommend her enough.”



“Howard was so wonderful with our two girls! We used to use a local kennel and after the last few stays, we could tell our girls were not happy - finding Howard gave us the peace of mind that they could stay at home in an environment which they were comfortable with and felt safe. Knowing we were nervous with our first go at this, Howard sent plenty of updates and pictures to put mom & dad at ease. We are already rebooking him for our next trip and highly recommend him for others in the Westville area!!”


“This is our second time to book the service from Jieun. They were very nice and friendly. They sent us many pictures and videos. Miaomiao likes them and Ollie very much! I would recommend for everyone to let them take care of your pets.”


“Jayme is amazing! I appreciated her attentiveness to Jazzy’s idiosyncrasies . She texted whenever she had questions in a way that I knew she really cared about him. Thank you for taking such good care of my little boy!”


“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”


About: I work primarily from home throughout the week. This gives me the time needed to care for anyone's pet to ensure a safe, fun environment. I dog sat for 2 years prior to my new full time role. I have fostered dogs and now I have recently adopted my own. I love dogs and look to care for anyone's pet when you need it most. Please reach out to set up a meet and greet so I can be introduced to your family member and also visit my place to see if it is a suitable temporary environment for your pet. Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. I am home most of the time and since I have a dog of my own, any pet will fit seamlessly into his routine as well. I'm sure my dog would love to make new friends as well! I live in a dog friendly community, dog park nearby, have a fenced courtyard, riverwalk in walking distance as well. I take my dog for at least one long walk (about an hour) per day and two other times aside from that. I make sure he doesn't eat any food scraps, anything from ground outside that could be harmful either. Smoke free and alcohol free home. Can also ensure any diet or food allergies are monitored appropriately.

“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”


“Our pug Hazel received the best care from Bruce. This is the first time we left our puppy with someone and we are very happy. Bruce sent us pics and updates each day. He spoiled her! We will contact Bruce again in the future!”


“Julissa was wonderful with Thor and very accommodating to our last minute changing schedule due to flight delays. She provided updates and photos of our pup which eased our seperation. Thank you, Julissa!”


“Zuleima was an awesome sitter. She sent me daily updates in lady and plenty of photos to show me that she was well taken care of. I will fully trust my dog with Zuleima again for future dog sitting needs.”


About: I have been pet sitting and boarding through middle school, high school, and now through medical school. Whether it's caring for energetic puppies who need extra attention and playtime or providing gentle support for senior dogs with mobility issues, I tailor my approach to each pet's unique needs. 100% of clients will receive photos of their furry friend in my care. My personal commitment goes beyond just basic care—I prioritize building a bond with each pet, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. A majority of my schooling is online so I have a very flexible schedule for walks, home visits, etc. I am free on weekends as well. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort. I maintain a secure environment by following all instructions closely, keeping doors/ gates locked, and ensuring your pet is always supervised. I strive to build trust with your furry friend through patience and positive reinforcement. I also stick to your pet’s regular routines, including feeding, walking, and playtime schedules, to minimize stress. With each visit, I treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving it just as I found it (or tidier, if needed).

“Justin was amazing! He was able to come and do a meet-n-greet, pick Harley up, communicate and drop her off as planned. I received lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay. She was very happy and I'd be excited to have her stay with Justin again in the future.”


“Marie was great with our frenchie Dean. I can tell by the pictures she sent us that he was well taken care of and he made himself right at home. I will definitely leave him in her care again.”


“Stephanie was a great sitter! We left our shih tzu with Stephanie for 3 nights and it was a good experience. I like that she responds quickly, and that she sends you pictures and updates daily - without being asked or reminded. My dog was happy when we picked her up. Pickup and drop off was easy and efficient because Stephanie had my dog and all her stuff ready to go. I definitely recommend her! My dog came home happy and well cared for.”


“We needed Jasie because our usual person was not available. Jasie lives across the street from us and we didn’t even know that until Rover! We went away Friday night to Sunday night. Jasie was great, she sent pictures, texted any questions and cared for Cadie like we would. We are so happy we found her! Will use again!”

I would absolutely recommend victoria to care for anyone’s pets!”
