Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!

Sean and Jill are great and Gwendolyn always looks forward to coming for a stay. I have a very tiny 4.5lb dog and very particular with whom I leave her with because of her size. I love the fact that they only take in small dogs as this tells me that they take the precautions needed to accommodate Gwendolyns size

Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!

Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.

Christle is a truly kind and caring person who took excellent care of my dog for 17 days. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and the experience couldn’t have been better. I wholeheartedly recommend Christle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend.

About: I love pets, they are the cutest addition to our lives. I have a dog of my own, she is 2 1/2 years old, very playful and friendly. I have had pets since childhood and love taking care of them, we have a house and a fenced yard, hence your pup is safe to play outdoors whenever they want. They are allowed on furniture too. Will love to take care of your precious little baby 😊 I work from home few times a week and my mom stays at home full time, so someone is always there to play with your pups and to take care of them. I have a fenced yard so they are safe when playing outdoors, I can take them on walks weather permitting, if they like to sleep in their crate they can do so too, potty breaks according to their schedule and have fun indoors. Will love to give them a safe place when they’re away from home 🏡

Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!

Whether you’re away for a day or a week, you can rest easy knowing your dog is in trusted hands, getting belly rubs, playtime, and the personal attention they deserve. Because peace of mind isn’t a luxury — it’s a promise. Consider me as your on-call pet sitter. I have currently moved to California all the way from the east coast. Whenever you need me, I’m here ! How I Care for Pets in Your Home – With Safety, Trust, and Comfort at the Heart of It All When I care for your pets, whether I’m house sitting, walking them, or simply dropping in, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has a unique routine, personality, and needs — and I take the time to learn and follow your instructions closely to ensure they feel secure and loved in your absence. In your home, I maintain a calm, respectful presence, keeping your pet’s environment clean, stress-free, and familiar. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship, always with an eye on their behavior and well-being. For drop-ins and walks, I show up reliably and treat your pet like my own — keeping them on safe routes, away from hazards, and paying close attention to their body language and comfort. I always prioritize secure leash handling, water breaks, and positive reinforcement. Your trust means everything to me, and I care for your pets and home with professionalism, love, and integrity.

Janelle was absolutely wonderful with Bug and Bean. She took the time to schedule a meet-and-greet ahead of the weekend, which immediately put us at ease, and she was incredibly sweet, flexible, and accommodating throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Janelle again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

We found Anita and her wonderful family through Rover, and we are beyond grateful for the love and care they provide our dogs. Donnie and Nora absolutely love staying with them, and it’s clear they feel comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Anita keeps us updated with frequent photos and messages, which gives us complete peace of mind every time we’re away. Her family is incredibly kind, and their two daughters adore our dogs—it’s so special knowing our pups are not just being watched, but genuinely loved. We never have a single worry when Donnie and Nora are with Anita, and that level of trust is priceless. We will absolutely continue booking with Anita and her family for all future needs. I highly recommend them and can say with complete confidence that your pet will be in the very best hands.

This is Andrea's 2nd time sitting for my fur baby and I trust her completely. She is very nice, very friendly, very understanding, very helpful and very patient. The 2 times she boarded my pup were last minute requests and she accepted the job and took him in with no problem. She and her family are very nice, polite people. She always replies to my texts and messages and sends photos and videos without me having to ask. My pup was well taken care of the time he spent with Andrea.

This was more difficult than I expected. But the ease LeAndra took off my mind was very much appreciated. This was my first time leaving my “Heart” with anyone outside of immediate family and I was stressed. I know how my dog is and even tho he’s a cute little cuddler he’s a frenchie and can be stubborn. I got updates and pictures that made me feel a little better knowing he’s doing good, the communication flowed and I would highly recommend her.
