“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!”


“Triba is the best thing that could happen with a super worried cat mom, she arranged our video calls while I was away. She loved her like her own, she is definitely becoming her foster mom permanently ?”


“Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Scooby, felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We loved receiving the regular updates with pictures and videos, it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, she even gifted Scooby the cutest goodie bag when we picked him up! I highly recommend Andrea and will definitely trust her to watch Scooby again in the future.”


“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”


“Tiffani took great care of my dog while I was away for a week. She made sure his medication was given twice a day, even setting an alarm so it wouldn’t be missed. She sent regular pictures and videos, which was reassuring, and my dog seemed to enjoy spending time with her dog. He can be very clingy, but she handled it without any issue. I’d be happy to have her watch him again and hope she’s available in the future! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”


“Katie was so kind and caring with our sweet senior dog! Our dog needs a gentle, patient care giver and Katie was perfect for her. Katie was responsive to our messages and reliable. We will definitely board our dog with Katie again!”


“Ah man, where do I even begin!? Sophia was incredible!! We arranged a meet & greet where our pup Oz got to meet her and the lovely Darla. It was a perfect fit. Our other sitter who was familiar with the parents of Oz (DOOM & Space) unfortunately had to cancel the day before and as crazy as it seemed to watch 3 Cane Corso’s at once, she did that! We are eternally grateful for Sophia for being so accommodating so last minute and really make our babies feel comfortable and loved. She sent detailed updates throughout our time away and awesome pictures. Highly recommend Sophia and Darla! We can’t thank you enough 🫶🏽”



“I couldn’t be happier with Nancy and Steve as dog hosters. Pepto had so much fun with them my husband and I joked we thought she’d refuse to come home with us when we went to pick her up. Nancy sent adorable photos and info about Pepto throughout the stay. We will definitely rebook in the future with this lovely couple.”

“Trenton was phenomenal. I was put in a tight spot and had nowhere for my dog to go last minute and he was there in an instant. Zeus was extremely happy being with him. Updated me very often and always kept in touch. I’d use him a million times again ☺️”


“Mylinda is FANTASTIC!!! I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. She sent me lots of photos of their walks together. When I picked him up after a weekend away he was super happy. I'll most definitely have Mylinda watch my dog when I'm away in a couple of months. I would give her more 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟”


“Allison was amazing! She took great care of our dog and would send pictures. She also was very quick to respond anytime I reached out. Would definitely use her again! Thank you Allison!”


“Fantastic New Rover sitter!! Welcoming, flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog seemed to have had an enjoyable multi-day boarding experience. He was able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Provided photos and updates as requested. Will without question use them as a sitter in the future.”


“Dyan did a great job caring for my dog, Pippin. I could tell he was very comfortable at her house with her and Aiko. Communication was great, she was flexible and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!”



About: I treat each dog like a close friend because that’s how most dogs treat me. I’ve never been able to adopt my own because of the difficulty of finding a rental space that would allow one. I hope to learn the skills needed to be a good dog owner before. I have plenty of room for dogs. Dogs tend to like me a lot, even ones that I’m told tend do be difficult usually take a liking to me almost immediately and I have to say that love goes both ways. I’m excited to start doggie daycare, everyone has to start somewhere. I look forward to providing great service and learning the skills I will need to becoming a dog Dad. Thanks for reading. ;D

“We booked Wendy at the last minute and she was great taking care of our two dogs. She took very good care of our older Shiba and our puppy Husky. They were both very clean and happy when we picked them up. Would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


“I felt very comfortable leaving my 12 year old border collie with MJ for a week. Sadie is very attached and gets very depressed when away from me. She felt at home and relaxed. I would highly recommend MJ.”


“Katrini was wonderful!! This was the first time we left our dog and she took such great care and gave him so much attention. Daily pictures were so appreciated! Will definitely leave our dog with Katrini every time we go away!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shannia! She took amazing care of our pet Nani over the 4th of July weekend. Despite the fireworks, she made sure Nani felt safe and comfortable by spending lots of time playing and cuddling with her. Shannia kept us updated throughout with plenty of adorable pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Shannia for dog sitting — she is kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with pets. We will absolutely reach out to her again whenever Nani needs boarding. Thank you, Shannia, for being so amazing! ☺️”


“Maria and her family are great. You can tell they love animals so much. Awesome, huge fenced in yard dogs can play in. She is so accommodating with your schedule, especially when travel plans go awry. She is willing to do whatever you need if it means she can help you out. Just the best! :0)”
