“Adi and Ips took such great care of my 5 year old dog and really went above and beyond. I have a Corgi, and they handled her energy so well. They usually have 2 to 3 other dogs around, both big and small, and even safely exposed her to a cat, which was a great experience. They kept her busy with long walks full of sniffing, worked on her leash skills, and even took her on a car ride. They also offered to help reinforce a few commands, which I really appreciated. At the same time, they made sure she got plenty of rest. She was totally comfortable sleeping wherever she wanted, whether that was with the other dogs or on the bed. They stayed in touch every day and let me know right away when she had a health related episode. It was clear they were paying close attention and genuinely cared about her. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely be booking with them again when needed.”
“Working with Dale was a pleasure from the beginning to end. She is a true professional and will take care of your pet like it’s her own. Her regular updates will put your heart at ease like they did for me while traveling out of the country. Seeing my puppy’s pics and reading the updates sure put a smile on my face :) I will for sure use Dales services in the future ! She’s an awesome lady, with a big heart for animals and their owners. Thank you so much Dale !!! See you soon :)”
“Shannon was great with Aries. He was happy and got updates daily on how he was settling in and enjoying his time with Lola. So glad we could enjoy our week away knowing he was being loved and cared for so well.”
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
“Marc, Alysia and boys were an amazing family for our 2 dogs. They got all the extra love and care they needed and I’m so thankful. The regular pictures and updates made me feel so secure knowing they were doing well. Almost too well!!! I think my puppy Sunny would have been happy to move in permanently! Thanks again!”
“Sheila watched our pups for the second time for 9 days and we could not have been happier! We felt so at ease on our vacation knowing they were being so well taken care of. She treated them like her own and made sure my picky girl was always fed, no matter what! Thank you Sheila for making our babies feel comfortable, safe and happy. We will definitely be using Sheila in the future!”
“If you want to make sure you don’t have worries during your get away you should definitely get Natalia to watch your fur baby!!! Natalia was just fabulous! I couldn’t have been more at peace and my dog loved her and her family. I can only say good things! Highly recommended - five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Erika did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the last 10 days while I was away. I was pleased to hear he got along well hanging out with her two cats. Manny definitely got spoiled rotten going by his very happy attitude, and super soft fur, he was getting all the pets XD so if you're reading this review I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful stay with Donna and her family! Both Gus and Winnie are senior dogs (14 and 13) who have been going to the same kennel for 10 years. When our kennel had to cancel last minute we were at a loss as we had a 3 week trip coming up -over the Easter holiday - and no one to watch the dogs. This was our first Rover experience and I’m so glad it worked out! Gus and Winnie have never stayed with anyone else so we were really nervous. Donna was so great at making both dogs comfortable and communicating with us while we were away. Gus had some issues early on (we think due to stress) and Donna went out of her way to adjust her schedule and his surroundings so that he was comfortable. Winnie is your typical snuggly Pug and I could tell she was right at home by the photos sent of her snuggling on the couch and hanging out with Donna’s children. Would definitely recommend Donna - thank you!”
“Thank you for taking care of Bagheera over the weekend! You reaching out to ask questions and sharing the amazing pictures and how he behaved showed that you cared and wanted to provide the right care for my fur baby. Appreciate it!”
“Mike took really good care of Bodhi. Even letting him sleep in his room with him because Bodhi was a bit unsettled. Really good communication and lots of pictures of what he got up to. Thank you very much Mike”
About: Hi! I’m a compassionate and reliable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. My background includes looking after a young small dog while providing care for a senior citizen, which involved daily walks, feeding, bathing, and keeping the space clean by managing pee pads. Most recently, I worked as an in-home dog caregiver for two medium-sized dogs ages 1 and 3 . I was responsible for walking them multiple times a day, maintaining their feeding schedule, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and ensuring the home stayed safe and secure while the owners were on vacation. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and loving care—whether that means going on long walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or simply keeping pets company while their humans are away. Your pets will be treated like family with me! I’m available for dog walks 4–7 PM on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m also able to provide extended in-home care when needed. I offer a safe, comfortable home for small to medium dogs, with parks nearby for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and can walk your dog in your neighborhood to keep things familiar.
“My dog is extremely sensitive to being left alone and Michelle was so understanding with how difficult he can be ! Was an amazing experience with the updates and photos. He was very well taken care of!”
“Kimberly was absolutely amazing with my pup! From the moment we met, I could tell she truly loves animals. She treated my dog like part of her own family — he got so much love, attention, and playtime from everyone in her home. I received updates and pictures throughout the stay, and my pup looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing he was in such caring hands. I can’t recommend Kimberly enough — we’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Sue and Brian were awesome with audio! They kept him active and gave lots of updates throughout his stay. They were friendly and easygoing and I felt very comfortable leaving Audio with them. Would highly recommend their services and I’ll be using them again, forsure!”
“I highly recommend Hanna. She took such good care of my dogs. Both my dogs have separation anxiety but she made them both very comfortable. I could tell they were both extremely happy. She sent us pics everyday. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would certainly be going back to her in the future as well.”

I’ve cared for pets with many different personalities, from energetic and playful to shy, nervous and anxious. I’m patient and take the time to let each pet become comfortable with me at their own pace. I follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime and lots of love and attention.

I believe pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and surroundings.

Before any booking, I offer a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, and ensure we’re the right fit for one another. I also ask all pet parents to complete a detailed intake form, which helps me learn about your pet’s routine, medical needs, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible. For dog walking clients, I also like to do a short practice walk so your dog can get comfortable with me before our first scheduled walk. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands.
About: Hello there! I’m a fun, easygoing, and friendly animal lover who can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! Providing pet care has become one of my greatest joys.

You can trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care. Many clients have welcomed me into their homes while they were away, and I ensure you’ll feel safe and comfortable with me too. I always take my time to get to know new spaces, during meet and greets, and I go over a mental checklist of questions to make sure I have everything covered. If anything comes up, I won’t hesitate to bring it up or send you a message. I will need to get a detailed picture of a “day in the life” of your pets so I can stick closely to their routine. So a write up of your pet’s routine and needs would be very handy.

I am happy to move at a faster pace with more intensive play or stroll along - whatever the pup/dog needs - I am there to meet their needs. I have flexibility in my schedule to support your dogs needs. Communication is important to me, so should my schedule shift my availability will be updated to ensure you are updated. Additionally, if I make a commitment you and your furry friend, you can be assured that this commitment is a priority to me! It is important that I hear from you about what your dog needs. I am happy to spend time in your backyard letting your pup sniff around or play fetch. I also am keen to get your dog out of the house and moving to walk on routes they are comfortable with or explore new spaces.

“Adi and Ips took such great care of my 5 year old dog and really went above and beyond. I have a Corgi, and they handled her energy so well. They usually have 2 to 3 other dogs around, both big and small, and even safely exposed her to a cat, which was a great experience. They kept her busy with long walks full of sniffing, worked on her leash skills, and even took her on a car ride. They also offered to help reinforce a few commands, which I really appreciated. At the same time, they made sure she got plenty of rest. She was totally comfortable sleeping wherever she wanted, whether that was with the other dogs or on the bed. They stayed in touch every day and let me know right away when she had a health related episode. It was clear they were paying close attention and genuinely cared about her. I can’t thank them enough and will definitely be booking with them again when needed.”
“Working with Dale was a pleasure from the beginning to end. She is a true professional and will take care of your pet like it’s her own. Her regular updates will put your heart at ease like they did for me while traveling out of the country. Seeing my puppy’s pics and reading the updates sure put a smile on my face :) I will for sure use Dales services in the future ! She’s an awesome lady, with a big heart for animals and their owners. Thank you so much Dale !!! See you soon :)”
“Geo and Amanda were great! Lots of pictures sent for updates the dogs were extremely comfortable and happy to be with them. We’ve already rebooked for the next time! Thanks so much”
“Sheila watched our pups for the second time for 9 days and we could not have been happier! We felt so at ease on our vacation knowing they were being so well taken care of. She treated them like her own and made sure my picky girl was always fed, no matter what! Thank you Sheila for making our babies feel comfortable, safe and happy. We will definitely be using Sheila in the future!”
“Erika did a wonderful job caring for my cat over the last 10 days while I was away. I was pleased to hear he got along well hanging out with her two cats. Manny definitely got spoiled rotten going by his very happy attitude, and super soft fur, he was getting all the pets XD so if you're reading this review I would definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Thank you for taking care of Bagheera over the weekend! You reaching out to ask questions and sharing the amazing pictures and how he behaved showed that you cared and wanted to provide the right care for my fur baby. Appreciate it!”
“Mike took really good care of Bodhi. Even letting him sleep in his room with him because Bodhi was a bit unsettled. Really good communication and lots of pictures of what he got up to. Thank you very much Mike”
“Kimberly was absolutely amazing with my pup! From the moment we met, I could tell she truly loves animals. She treated my dog like part of her own family — he got so much love, attention, and playtime from everyone in her home. I received updates and pictures throughout the stay, and my pup looked so happy and comfortable the whole time. It’s such a relief knowing he was in such caring hands. I can’t recommend Kimberly enough — we’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Sue and Brian were awesome with audio! They kept him active and gave lots of updates throughout his stay. They were friendly and easygoing and I felt very comfortable leaving Audio with them. Would highly recommend their services and I’ll be using them again, forsure!”
“I highly recommend Hanna. She took such good care of my dogs. Both my dogs have separation anxiety but she made them both very comfortable. I could tell they were both extremely happy. She sent us pics everyday. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would certainly be going back to her in the future as well.”
“Liz is excellent service provider. We used her service first time, no complaints at all. She fed our dog on time shared tons of photos with us of him playing eating and sleeping every day. I highly recommend her.”
“Maisy, the 3-year-old Australian Shepherd and Dexter the 13-year-old Corgi mix looked like they slept pretty good and we're definitely well cared for. Four nights! It looks like they had a great time on their walks and the experience with Charlene was wonderful. She has a wonderful family welcoming young and old doggies. Highly recommend! Thank you so much”
“We love Jeanne. Napoleon stayed with her for a few days and was so well taken care of. She updated us throughout and we could see how much fun he had with her. I was so nervous at the thought of leaving my fur baby with someone else but I’d send him to her place anytime. She is amazing.”
“Lynee was great with Eevee! She was attentive and patient. Eevee had an awesome time and even went home with a homemade bandana. For sure recommend Lynne; we know we’ll be using her service next time!”
“Luna was well cared for. Taken on many walks and enjoyed tug of war games daily. Nicholas provided daily updates and pictures of Luna’s experiences. I definitely would use Nicholas’ services again and highly recommend him to others seeking peace of mind while you’re away.”
“Jess was amazing. She looked after my Mason with compassion and care. He’s a senior dog and I was worried that it would be difficult to find someone who understood. Jess was wonderful and made sure he felt at home. Lots of communication and love.”
“Lauren was amazing with fox. This was our very first time leaving our baby with a sitter and it was the best choice we ever did by picking lauren. Her and her family were so welcoming to Fox that he took to them right away. Did a check-in on him as a worried parent would, and the pictures that were sent to me were so adorable that I knew he was fine and happy. Would definitely highly recommend Lauren to look after your fur baby. I know myself and my husband we look forward to using Lauren again to babysit Fox.”
