“Connie was a kind, responsive, and dutiful dog sitter for Fozzie. She was really flexible with drop off and pick up times which is super helpful for my schedule and type of work. She also provided me with photo and message updates throughout the day. It was great to see that Fozzie settled in so nicely with their family including their dog Alpha and their two kiddos. Fozzie struggles with separation anxiety and has leash reactivity with other dogs so he can sometimes be a bit of a handful but Connie demonstrated familiarity and confidence around dealing with these challenges, which helped me have confidence too. Connie also goes above and beyond by providing homemade healthy treats to doggos like steamed pumpkin. Would highly recommend but Fozzie calls dibs! 🥰”
“Anmol & Abhinav are such amazing hosts that I could not be happier leaving my guy with them! They showed him so much love and care and kept me updated throughout my dog's stay! I would definitely recommend them and will be leaving my guy with them in the future. 🙏🏽”
“We are lucky to have Sarah look after our puppy, Dior, for one day. She is kind and attentive, offering helpful advice on training Dior to be calmer and follow commands. She also shared several video clips, and her own dog was wonderfully gentle and friendly. I'll definitely choose Sarah again in the future.”
“We had an amazing experience with Ashley and Kelvin for our dog Bentley. They sent loads of photos and updated us regularly. I’ve already booked his next stay with them 🥰”
“This is my first time to have a dog sitter to look after my dog, and I'm very happy that I found Mandy and Jacky. They're very nice and professional. They sent me lots of pictures and videos of my dog, so that I know how my dog is doing. I can see that they love dogs from the bottom of their hearts. They're attentive to my dog, making sure he's comfortable and happy. I highly recommend them, and I'll book them again for sure.”
“Thank you for accepting our very last minute request! This was our first time using Rover and were a bit nervous at first but Andrea and her partner made us feel at ease immediately. She sent pictures and we could tell our Millie was in safe hands. Thank you!!!”
“Thank you for helping our family with last minute bookings when are schedules don’t align. Our Nala loves coming to see you and enjoys time with your family. Thank you for taking such great care of her.”
“I highly recommend Natasha for your dog care needs. She took the time to thoroughly get to know my 8-month old puppy before the first stay, making sure everything was set up for success and answering all my questions. Natasha’s passion for dogs truly shines through and I am impressed by her thoughtfulness to create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment. My puppy had such a great time and came home happy & tired :)”
“Hector and Jeanette are always so loving and caring with Jordi and when I leave I never have to worry about him They send pictures throughout his stay and it is clear that he is relaxed in their home. They are always accommodating whenever their schedule allows and I use them on a regular basis and highly recommend them.”
“Sandra's flexibility meant I had care when our usual sitter was away. She communicated often and updated me regularly when Walnut was not feeling well. Appreciate your help!”
“She is the best! It was my first time using this app so i was a little bit hesistant. However when i met her, i felt so relaxed! She helped me at the time that i really needed the most when i had to leave my dogs to get their documents ready for our trip in Europe. Due to traffic and documents being behind, i was an hour and haft late from our pick up and she was very understanding. I couldn't ask for a better person! If i live in town i would definitely recommend using her for you furbabies 🥰 Thank you so much Gini!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have cared for my own pets for many years, as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I started traveling in 2022, my lifestyle has not allowed me to have a pet of my own, so caring for other people’s pets has become a meaningful way to keep that connection in my life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every pet feel happy and well cared for. I work 100% from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. Because of this, pets are rarely left alone and can receive plenty of supervision, companionship, playtime, and affection as part of my daily routine. For boarding, I offer flexible check-in and check-out times whenever possible. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds, and I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. Daily walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks are included depending on each pet’s routine and needs. For house visits, I can provide up to two 1-hour visits per day. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in mail while you are away. For house sitting, I take both pet care and home care very seriously. I carefully follow all instructions and make sure pets maintain their normal routines to help them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medication when clear instructions are provided. Before caring for any pet, I always like to learn about their personality, routine, preferences, energy level, health needs, and any special quirks or triggers. I believe understanding each pet individually is the best way to provide loving, responsible, and stress-free care. I believe every pet is unique, so the care I provide always depends on each dog’s individual needs, personality, routine, and the specific instructions given by their owner. I take the time to understand their habits, energy level, preferences, feeding schedule, and any special care requirements to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment both in my home and in my client’s home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and regular breaks throughout the day. I also live near a large park where dogs can enjoy walks, explore, play, and safely use their energy while having a fun and enriching time outdoors. Whether a dog is very active or prefers a slower pace, I always adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in responsible and attentive hands.
“Bella is an amazing sitter! She kept me updated the whole time and spoiled Ori with treats. Ori completely adores her, and it's so obvious she has a real love for pets. We'll definitely be back!”
About: Im retired with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have been devoted dog owners in the past and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, calm, and attentive to care for your beloved pet. At the moment, I do not have any dogs at home, which allows us to provide a quiet, stress-free, and fully focused environment for your pet’s care and comfort. Being retired means I am home most of the day, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and affection.

I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I am happy to follow your pet’s routine closely to ensure consistency and comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your furry family member! Boarding fits my schedule very well. I am home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, and companionship throughout the stay. Since I do not currently have any dogs at home, I can offer a calm, quiet, and stress-free environment where your pet will have our full attention. I am flexible with feeding, walking, and daily routines, and I enjoy having dogs in my home as part of my day-to-day life. Boarding works well for us as I am able to fully accommodate the dog’s needs while maintaining my normal home routine.
About: I have 8 years of pet care experience and I’m also the mom of a lovely 5-year-old toy poodle. Caring for my own dog every day has taught me how important patience, consistency, safety, and affection are in a pet’s routine. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and understanding different dog personalities. I know every pet has their own comfort level, so I always take time to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved! I am currently working from home 3 days a week on weekdays and free on weekends as well. Caring for your fur baby fit naturally into my routine because caring for my own toy poodle is already part of my daily life. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going on walks, and giving pets the attention they need. I will make sure each booking has enough time for proper care, play, walks, and as many updates as you prefer!:) I have a sweet 5-year-old toy poodle who can keep your pet company. She is spayed, gentle, and loves making furry friends. I will always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they are with me. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind:)!

Additionally, I plan special activities like outings or playdates to keep my pets socially engaged and happy. 😊 🏠 In my home, I ensure a safe environment by pet-proofing spaces, removing hazardous items, and providing secure, comfortable areas for pets to rest. I maintain trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement during training and play. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions, maintain open communication, and treat their pets with the same care and respect as my own. I also ensure a clean and stress-free environment by cleaning up after activities and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and their favorite toys. Additionally, I have a well-trained, calm, and healthy dog and cat, which further contributes to a harmonious and reassuring environment for all pets.

Lovely couple! They are obviously pet lovers! I’m drawn to their calm and kind demeanor. Mo is usually unsure of new people but he approached them after a few minutes. Lots and patient and calm interactions which Mo prefers. Nothing but positive vibes from this couple. Thank you Hector and Jeanette!
We had a great experience with Sinsi! She was super friendly, responsive and sent us lots of photo/video updates of Buster throughout the time she watched him. She was also very considerate of his needs as a 6 month old puppy who is still adjusting to new environments and people. Would highly recommend her!
Sheena is a very responsible dog sitter. She started by asking detailed questions about May’s habits and routine. She was also very flexible — with very short notice, she was able to take care of May. She took May for a walk right away to help ease her separation anxiety, let her sit on the couch, and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. We would happily book with Sheena again.
Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my dog! Your kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. The updates and care you provided meant a lot to me. I truly appreciate your dedication and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you again for treating my dog like your own!
Kateryna was absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Helios. On the day of the handoff, everything that could go wrong went wrong on my end — delays with friends, a frozen car, and unexpected complications — which almost caused Kateryna and her husband to miss their Valentine’s Day dinner plans. Despite this, Kateryna was incredibly kind, patient, and flexible. We worked together to find alternative ways to complete the handoff, and both she and her husband were genuinely helpful and understanding throughout the process. Helios is still a puppy, and not everyone can make him feel safe right away. What really stood out to me was how calm and comfortable he was the moment he entered their home. He settled in immediately and began interacting with Kateryna on his own, which speaks volumes about her gentle energy and natural connection with dogs. I’m deeply grateful for her care, warmth, and understanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kateryna to anyone looking for a sitter who is not only responsible, but truly kind and trustworthy.
We absolutely love Erika and couldn’t be happier that we found her! She is incredibly kind, gentle, and accommodating, and it’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Sylvie was very comfortable with her right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages. It was obvious Sylvie was relaxed, happy, and well cared for. We also love that Sylvie gets to socialize and play with her two dogs, which was such a bonus. Erika goes above and beyond, and we truly trust her with Sylvie. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶💛
I had an amazing experience with Beatrice. From the moment we met, it was clear how much care and attention she put into looking after my furbaby. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was at work. Salgu was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I feel very lucky to have found Beatrice. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care! :)
This is our second time using Siyu’s doggy daycare service, and we’re definitely going to be returning clients from now on. She sent updates and photos/videos throughout the day. My two dogs love Siyu and her dog Oscar. My anxious mama’s boy, Barkley, didn’t even look back once when I handed his leash to Siyu 😂 From that alone, I know Barkley feels safe and well cared for with Siyu and her smart boy Oscar. A few minutes later, I even got an update that Barkley was flying around the house out of excitement, which was the cherry on top. We can’t thank Siyu enough - as dog parents, we know how guilty and concerned we feel leaving our dogs all day while we work. But thanks to Siyu, we don’t have to feel nearly as guilty anymore, knowing our pups are safe, happy, and cared for. We definitely recommend Siyu :)
