“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”


“Maegan and Her Family Were Great With Our Dog Luke …They Made Him Feel at Home while he was There…I Will Be Using Her Again Soon for My Next Vacation…”


“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”


“We found, met and booked with Stephanie on Rover. We were more than happy with our experience! Stephanie is very responsive and communicated with us frequently with updates and pictures. It made our hearts warmed to see how comfortable and how loved our fur babies were while we were away. Stephanie is and will continue to be our first choice when we are unable to bring our puppers with us.”


“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”


“Lori was a life saver! We had to book on very short notice and Lori took our 2 dogs into her home for the weekend. They were incredibly cared for in a safe home. Lori sent us updates on their well-being and they came home happy.”


“Emily took loving care of my dog and was able to be flexible when making the booking to accommodate our schedule. She always kept me updated and informed and made sure my dog got exercise and attention.”


“Cheryle took great care of my little dog Charlie for one week in her home. He seems to have had a great time with her and her small dog. I would definitely ask her to care for Charlie again and would recommend her highly!”


“So thankful for Olesia for taking in Drogo. And even taking him earlier than initially planned. We love all the photos they’ve sent, showed how happy and comfortable he is. Drogo really enjoyed his stay. When we visit the area again, we’ll definitely contact them.”



“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”


“Christopher and his wife took great care of my Penny. She had trouble going up the stairs (she is 12 years old, which is a lot for a bulldog!), so Christopher actually carried her up after every walk (and she’s not light!). They sent pictures and updates every day, and just overall a very lovely and caring couple!”


About: I had dog walk for number of years and had work seasonally at a pet company before. I am confident I can take care of your dog while you ar away. It is going to be a part time gig for me, I can do most evenings and weekends; During weekday, I can start my services after 6pm and anytime at weekend. I will do my best to ensure I follow your instruction and provide on time updates of your dog and most importantly the pet will have my full attention during my services.

“Christopher and Chelsea watched our 3 pups for just a short stay this time, but as always they made everything a breeze and took wonderful care of the dogs. We got photos and updates frequently and the dogs always have a blast and come home tired out but well taken care of.”


“Kristine gave our dog Chauncey exceptional care! She gave us updates with photos , which is very important to us. She was communicative and overall just lovely to interact with. She even mended a bandana he was wearing. On top of it, she sent him home with a Halloween bandana she sewed! We will definitely request her care again.”


“Very happy after Cache took care of my dog this weekend. She is a good communicator, located in a convenient location and has a nice apartment. The most important thing about finding the right sitter or walker is trust and I already feel that after just one experience! Def will book again.”


“We are so thankful for the fantastic experience we had leaving our pup with Chelsea and Christopher! We will definitely be asking them to dog sit for us again. Perry was so well cared for and the pictures and updates were very much appreciated! They truly went above and beyond! 😊”


About: I've house sat for my friends dog who has anxiety for the last few years. I'm grew up with and am comfortable with big dogs. I work part time morning shifts Sunday through Wednesday and Night Shifts Friday so I'm able to spend long periods of time with your dog. I know to keep the dog on the leash at all times unless safe to do otherwise, I'm great at following plans for specific needs.

“Catherine is amazing. She and her family are so accommodating and they worked with us to schedule a playmate and sitting for our dog. Bold had a great time and came home and crashed from all the play she got. It was such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Catherine for your pet's needs. We will be using her for all our pet needs going forward.”
