“Ru D was an excellent babysitter for Dakota. Ru sent me daily updates and Dakota looked very comfortable in her surroundings. I would 100% recommend her. Thank you Ru”


“Poncho was well taken care of and Dan made drop off and pick up super easy! So glad to have found Dan and his fiancé on Rover — Ponch is missing her new buds already.”



“Tim was so good with Duckie! he kept us updated with pictures and letting us know what Duckie was up to! Tim took him on plenty of walks which our puppy loved. Duckie also had a great time with his new friend Gabby! I would definitely recommend Tim, he was great!”


“Linda is such an amazing person and dogsitter. We have used her twice now and she loves and cares for our cavapoo like she is her own. Our dog, Ivy, loves playing with Linda’s dogs and always has such a great time at her house. 😃😃”


“Katherine was great with our pup Sunny. She came home tired and worn out. I got pictures and updates regularly and she was quick to respond. Easy to communicate with about drop off and pick up! Would recommend!”



“Leslie was fantastic and is Taco’s new best friend. She was responsive and provided frequent, fun updates. She was also flexible on pickup and drop off times and worked to accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend her!”


“Tatyana helped us when we were in a pinch, selling our house so we needed the dogs to go elsewhere while it showed and we went on vacation. She clearly loves the dogs very much, and sends lots of photos to let you know how they are. She takes them for walks every couple of hours. The girls seem very relaxed there and when they come home. I trust that she will take really good care of them. The last time they went to her house it was a last minute request on my part for her to do doggy daycare while our movers were in the house. She offered to wash them for me so they would be clean for the long car ride we were about to embark on. She goes above and beyond!”


“Chip LOVED his stay with Felix. He came home truly tuckered out after a weekend of fun, and even learned to bring the ball back with fetch. I asked Felix if he wanted Chip’s travel crate and he said “where I go, Chip goes” which honestly gave me such peace of mind being my first time leaving him. It’s clear that Felix loves dogs, and I knew my Chip man was in great hands. We will definitely be seeing Felix again!!”


“Extremely happy. Buddy liked Samantha right away. Drop off and pick up were super easy. She sent me pics of my little guy so I could see that he was adjusting well. Definitely will book with her again.”


About: I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. Not working right now, would love to help out during the day and during the week. I am more than happy to accommodate certain times and dates for an agreed amount. My studio apartment is small, I live on a first floor apartment with only one set of stairs to the exit. Also an elevator to the base floor is available without requiring need for steps if necessary.

“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”


“Leeann took such great care of my girls! I loved the picture updates and attention she gave my little old ladies. She was great with the meds and special needs of my older lady. Very attentive and kind. I felt they were in excellent hands while I was away!”


“Leaving my two puppies with Abby was easy because she is so awesome! Everyday she sent photos of the girls playing, wrestling, sleeping, and out walking with her on their leashes. She also texted reports on their well-being and behavior. Abby has a fenced in backyard which is perfect for active pooches. I highly recommend Abby. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Caitlin takes such great care of Mika! Mika loves staying with her and Goode. She is so welcoming and comforting. She sends regular updates and communicates excellently.”


About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and you will often find me loving on the dog at gatherings that include a pup. I tend to be the type of person that animals and children gravitate towards! I grew up with a dog that I certainly considered to be my baby, as I had him for 17 years, and definitely treat other dogs with as much love and respect as I treated him. I would love to care for your dog and give them the love they need while you are away. I now have a small dog of my own (my child!), so I do prefer that your dog(s) is vaccinated and good with other puppies/dogs. I want this to be the best and most fun experience for both pups and myself! Currently, I work remote so I am home most of the day during the workday (which is much preferred for my dog!). I am also available for quick visits to your home in the morning, a quick visit throughout the day if needed, and then after work. I could spend more time with your pets as needed on weekends that I am available. Given that I work from home, I am there more often than not to provide the most attention for your furbaby! This would certainly involve loving on your pet, of course feeding and giving them water, playtime, short walks, etc. I treat all pets as if they were my own!
