“Karimar did an excellent job at watching our fur babies for us. We were able to go on a family vacation without any worries on how the doggies were doing. She kept in touch with us every day with updates and sent pictures of them as well. I would highly recommend her and absolutely would book with her again as needed. I was so impressed with her prompt replies, professionalism, and caring interactions with our doggies.”
“Cindy was amazing! She took great care of my dogs and kept me updated the whole time. They looked so happy and comfortable with her. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Bonnie was an AMAZING sitter for my big German Shepherd. She responded quickly to all my messages and provided videos and pictures. My dog had an amazing time with her and her fur babies. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog with her, and it helped that she had large dogs herself. I highly recommend her! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Best sitter! They were amazing in caring for my pup son bagel. She sent me an updates with photos regularly! Bagel loved staying at their house and playing with griffin and other puppies. I’ll continue to have them sit for us !!”
“Danielle was awesome with scheduling a last minute stay. She took care of Apollo and shared photos of his visit. Apollo is is older, and she provided that extra care he needs. We will definitely contact her again.”
“Paige’s home is Remi’s second home! Her family is her second family. Consistentsy is important in a dogs life and when we do need to leave her, having Paige is peace of mind for us. They have a great backyard for our very active girl to run and play with other dog friends. She’s safe, fed, entertained and loved....thank you Paige!”
“Delelah responded super fast and kept me updated throughout the day. She was able to watch my dog last minute and was such a lifesaver! i would definitely recommend Delelah to other people!”
“Lillian is truly AMAZING! Ollie loves her so much that he didn’t want to leave. She was very accommodating and even had a meet up before so Ollie could meet her. 10 out of 10 service. We will be using Lillian for now on. Thank you Lillian!!”
“Gina is the bestest! My wife was really concerned about having to leave our dog and Gina was very sensitive to that and sent several videos and photos to actually show us she was fine. She went above and beyond and if we ever have to drop our dog again it will definitely be with Gina.”
“Amazing experience. My dog loved staying with Judith. He played so much he slept for a day after he came home. Less stressful for him than kennel. Next time I need a dog sitter, I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Mary Catherine and her family were so wonderful with Abby! Sweet family and we felt great that she was in such good hands while we were away. Loved the photo updates she gave us.”
“We are very Thankful we found Debbie. She reported to me daily on Fritizie's activies,sent me pictures. He was very calm and made himself at home. She and her family love animals. I felt very relaxed knowing he was in good hands and I could relax and not have to worry about him. I Highly recommend her. Terry K.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tetiana was great! Vera loved meeting with her, her husband, and Wanda (and her dog brought out the puppy play in my 9-year old dog). We can tell she had a great time staying with them, was well cared for, and very responsive with pictures and communication. We hope to book another stay again soon!”
“Lauryn and Loren took excellent care of my dog. They were very patient with her when introducing her to her new environment and dog companions putting her at ease for the rest of her stay. They took her on daily walks and kept me updated with pictures and feedback throughout the weekend.”
“Having never used Manual before as our dog sitter, I was a little nervous. A big pull for us choosing him was no other pets in the house. We got there and the house was clean and Manual was friendly. He asked a lot of questions about what our dogs liked and didn't. Also, during our trip, he sent photos of the dogs everyday. He responded quickly every time I texted him thru the Rover app. We felt like our dogs were in good hands while we were gone. Would use Manual again.”
“Monica was excellent. Our previous dog watcher moved so it was intimidating trying to find someone else. I feel like Monica was the best choice. She has a backyard and provided comfortable accommodations and space for Ginger. Her dog is also friendly! While we were away in Europe, she would send photos every day. It was comforting waking up to pictures of Ginger relaxed and happy. She was very communicative with us and caring with Ginger. I definitely recommend her to watch your furry loved one.”
“If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and absolutely fantastic dog sitter, look no further! I recently left my 3 month old puppy with Jennifer S. and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she truly cares for animals. She took the time to learn about specific needs, and routines, which put my mind at ease right away. Throughout the stay, she provided regular updates, including photos about what my puppy had been up to—walks, playtime, and all the cuddles! It’s obvious that my puppy was well cared for and I think she was not happy to leave her new friends. Jennifer S. treats her clients’ pets as if they were her own, which is so reassuring. If you need someone who’s trustworthy, experienced, and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Jennifer S.”

Ana is a lifesaver! My husband and I traveled across the U.S. to spend Christmas with our family, and on day two of our 10-day trip we unexpectedly found ourselves in a bind needing a replacement sitter. Ana gladly took in our two doodles without ever having met them, which immediately eased our stress. She communicated promptly and kept us updated regularly, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Ana for any pet care needs. Thank you again for truly going above and beyond for our family!
Lauren took such sweet care of our spoiled, “only-child” pup while we were out of town for an extended holiday weekend. She shared photos each day and was kind and responsive when communicating. Lauren made drop off and pickup a breeze with her flexibility and she demonstrated responsibility and compassion with every interaction. You will not feel a second of doubt leaving your pet in her care!
