“I had a fantastic experience boarding my dog, Leo with Bill and Norma. They were incredibly caring and attentive and shared photos. Leo had good amount of playtime and walk. He came home happy and healthy. I highly recommend them.”


“Richard and Rosie are wonderful they took such great care of my Caney! Kept me informed of his days with them and how he was doing, sent me pictures all the time. This was a great experience as it was the first time leaving my dog with someone he didn't know for a week! As soon as I met Richard and his family all of my nerves went away I knew he was in good caring loving hands and he got to make lots of new friends because as it seems Richard and Rosie's house it quite popular with the dogs! I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great place for your dog to go when you need a sitter...if I could have given 10 stars I would have ❤️ thanks again Richard and Rosie!”


“Adi & Pragna are so wonderful!! When we dropped off our dog, Maggie, for a weekend stay, she walked right in, gave them kisses, and made her self right at home! It was very apparent to us that she was comfortable being there and enjoys staying with them while we’re out of town. We love getting the daily photos and updates of how she’s doing, and feel completely comfortable leaving her in their care.”


“If you're looking for someone to care for your dog, we highly recommend Suraj and Pratheeksha. They are both very loving, caring, kind & will give your dog the attention they deserve when you're away. We were initially worried about leaving our dog Buddy with anyone, as he is a rescue dog and full of anxiety, but Suraj and Pratheeksha were not at all worried about that excitement and handled it well with no complaints. You will have peace of mind knowing that both of them are on the job and will also send pictures on a daily basis, and messages are very quickly answered when asked. Thank you Suraj and Pratheeksha M, we will definitely hire you again.”


“You can leave your furry friend with Vivek & Sruthi and have a worry free vacation/ outing. They were very caring and patient with buddy. Even when buddy had an inside potty accident, they did not complain. That tells you how good hosts they are.”


“Sophia was absolutely wonderful and very accommodating! She took great care of my Ollie and sent me regular updates to let me know he was doing well. I SO appreciated her thoughtfulness with my cat, we are currently moving and he needed a place to feel relaxed and safe for a few days while our house is madness! Thanks so much Sophia!”



“Vanessa was super. Not only did she do an amazing job looking after Riley, but she was hands on all the way. She shared various videos of their time together and while on walks. Definitely pleased and I highly recommend her.”


“We were thrilled to have Qian look after Cooper again, and once again, they exceeded our expectations! As our senior dog requires multiple medications and special care, it’s such a relief to know he’s in the hands of someone as attentive and compassionate as Qian. They kept us updated, ensuring we always felt connected and reassured. Cooper was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Qian’s dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make them an incredible pet sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again and highly recommend their services!”


“Coco seemed to be very happy with Monica and enjoyed running around in her big yard. Monica was very easy to communicate with and responded to messages quickly. She sent photos and videos to keep us updated while we were away. I would highly recommend Monica as a pet sitter!”


About: As a passionate critical care nurse, my heart is always with animals, especially dogs. While I dream of having my own furry companion, my unpredictable shift work makes it challenging to provide a stable home for a dog right now. That’s why I would love the opportunity to care for and give love to other dogs in need of attention and companionship. I truly enjoy getting outside for exercise and playtime, especially engaging with their favorite toys and ensuring they have fun. With a flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate dogs of all types and sizes, providing attentive, caring, and personalized care that every dog deserves. If you’re looking for someone who understands the importance of love, exercise, and consistent care for your dog, I’m here to help! I work 2 day shifts (7am-7pm) and 2 night shifts (7pm-7am) and off for 5. Available during the day most weeks and able to accommodate in between night shifts as well :) I have a fully fenced in backyard and a park behind my home. I love getting out for walks and sniffs! They will also get lots of attention and love.

“Shelby was very communicative and good with updates. While Milou was there she had an adorable foster pup that made his stay a bit more fun. Walk updates and play updates were sent throughout the day and Milou seemed happy and peaceful. I will book again when in town.”


“Thanks Catherine for taking great care of our 6 month old lab puppy. She updated us every night with pictures. She took him on walks regularly and to the dog park to burn that puppy energy. We would use Catherine again.”


“Maria took such good care of my dog while I was away! She sent regular photo updates and keep me in the loop of Rhonda’s day. I fully trust Maria with my fur baby and hope for her to watch Rhonda again soon!”


“Chip had a wonderful visit with Liz. She was so friendly and inviting and kind and warm and her Dog Star was so sweet making sure that Chip was OK. I will definitely book with Liz again in the near future. She is a real asset to Rover. Thank you for your services Liz - you went above and beyond my expectations!”


“Liliana was absolutely amazing with Siku. He requires patience because he is by nature a guard dog and therefore apprehensive around new people. But he warmed up to Liliana quickly and before long he was comfortable. He seemed extremely content!”

She gave him tons of attention, long walks, and plenty of cuddles. Nicole kept us in the loop with regular updates and adorable photos, which was so reassuring while we were away. Our dog can be a lot for most people, but Nicole handled him with so much patience and care. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands.
