“Bethany took wonderful care of our pets and was in communication throughout with adorable photos. My little dog can be tough and Bethany and her family charmed her! We were so thankful to have such a reliable person taking care of our dogs.”
“My dog was instantly comfortable and appeared very happy to be hanging out with and in Denise’s care. We are very happy to have found the perfect local person and safe environment for Riggs when we are in need of a dogsitter. Thank you!”
“Heather, My experience with you was nothing short of amazing for both my dog, Sawyer, and myself. Even before booking, you showed a genuine interest in learning all about Sawyer. It was clear that you not only love dogs but truly wanted to make him feel welcome in your home. You provided a dog-friendly environment and kept me well-informed with regular updates and photos through the Rover app. Thank you for taking such great care of him. He’s really looking forward to his next visit with you. BTW, he enjoyed the rest of his Birthday Cupcake! Warm regards, Brian”
“Natasha was amazing, I was extremely on the edge as my stay was a longer stay.She ensured my dog was comfortable and followed up and provided daily updates.I will soon be rebooking. So glad I found her. Thanks a ton Natasha.”
“Erin provided such a loving, safe and fun “vacation” for our dog. She sent us regular updates and we were very impressed with the level of care and attention he received. She really took time to get to know him and his quirks :) We were so comfortable knowing he was with Erin! Highly recommend!”
“Misael was great for our big dog Dozer. Super friendly. Willing to do w.e it takes to make sure everything works out. Dozer is not an easy dog to watch and misael knew exactly how to handle dozer which is saying alot for a 74 pound sheepadoodle who has massive separation anxiety. Now im confident knowing if we have to have him watched again for a trip Misael will be my first and only choice. If you have a big dog that's hard to handle he's your guy! Thank you so very much for going out of your way for us and Dozer.”
About: My wife and I have cared for and trained all of our dogs in a resposible loving manner that others have always noticed when meeting our dogs. My wife works from home and is always attentive to our dogs needs and I am home every day around 3pm to help take care. We have a large fenced in back yard with a large dog door that leads right into the yard for your pet to come and go as they please. Also we live in a neighborhood that is great for dog walking to change up the scenery and keep dogs engaged and stimulated.
“Michael and his wife were fantastic with our dog, Wesley. I was nervous leaving him overnight with people we didn’t know. However, Michael put me completely at ease. He knows dogs well and went above and beyond to make Wesley comfortable and safe. Wesley enjoyed the company of another dog and had a great time. 100% recommend!”
“Alexandra and Joseph have taken great care of our dog a few times now and he always comes back happy and communication with them has been great. We enjoy the picture updates and he loves playing with all the dogs. Would recommend them highly.”
“Kevin has been an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Damai, over the past couple of years. Damai always feels comfortable and happy staying with her, which gives me so much peace of mind whenever I’m out of town. Kevin is incredibly responsible, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. Her dog, Dofus, is also very friendly and welcoming, and Damai absolutely loves spending time there. Kevin’s place has become Damai’s go-to home away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Bridget! She was very accommodating with a last minute booking and took the best care of our girl! Our dog had the best time based on the pics and videos we received. We will absolutely be a return pup :)”
“First time leaving Bella with Julie & Tiffany and won’t be the last! They kept us up to date with pictures/msgs. Bella got lots of couch time! Bella was well cared for and we were very happy.”
“Highly recommend! Kara was amazing with our Bella. I was super nervous leaving her with a new person but Kara was so good to her. Bella loved being the only dog and being spoiled. It was like home away from home.”
“I literally cannot say enough good things about Danielle, she blew me away. The pickup and dropoff is sooo helpful, she's amazing at communicating, and she absolutely pampered my dog. She is a treasure, and I'm so glad I discovered her!! We will certainly be using her again!”
“Rosie and Teddy were well cared for during their stay. I felt very comfortable leaving the dogs in her care and will definitely use her again in the future. I enjoyed seeing photos and getting updates of their weekend with her!”
“Emily helped me out on short notice in a very stressful moving situation. i can’t thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave to my brothers three extremely scared cats. i highly recommend Emily.”

Jessica was amazing with my giant, goofy lap dog! She was diligent and thoughtful in organizing our meet and greet with her adorable pup. She’s clearly experienced, caring, and responsible. I got some adorable pics of Marv having a swim in her back yard and he was happy and healthy as can be when I picked him up. I’d happily book with Jessica again on my next trip where Mr. Marv can’t join me 🐶☺️
Andrew was a fantastic dog sitter for our mini Goldendoodle, Hop. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he has a Goldendoodle of his own—our dogs got along really well and seemed to enjoy their time together. Andrew sent us daily updates, which we really appreciated, and he was always very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was clear Hop was in great hands the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with Andrew again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
