“My dog is well cared for when with Jing. My dog runs to them when we return and loves the fenced in Yard to run & have fun. I highly recommend Jing & Jeremy. Not to mention picture updates throughout her stay.”
“Maria Luiza and McAben were great with Kala! She had a great time and was well cared for! They were communicative and very kind and caring with Kala”
“Miranda was so wonderful with Charlie! She sent me so many cute photos and videos while I was away and I could tell he was having the time of his life! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“This hasn’t been the first time Paul has watched our pup. Every time, we know our dog is in good hands - Paul goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. This time around we got stuck and delayed coming back from our trip because of the blizzard, and Paul was incredibly kind, understanding, and flexible in working with us to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for and walking dogs of family and friends. I have also cared for puppies and animals with disabilities. I work from home and have the flexibility to make my own schedule on most weekdays. Afternoons are preferable for dog walking, though I can usually make accommodations for AM walks as well. I will mainly be offering dog walking services, so caring for the animals in my home will likely not be required. However, if a client needs at home care, I am willing to be flexible, depending on their preferences.
“Claudia and Joaquin were absolutely wonderful! They were so thoughtful and attentive from the very beginning, even coordinating a meet and greet beforehand so we could all get acquainted. It was clear how genuinely loving and detail-oriented they were with Sushi, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They also sent tons of adorable photos and updates, which I really appreciated! I could tell Sushi was in great hands and being treated like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters!”
“Akhil and his wife took wonderful care of our goldendoodle Daisy. They gave her lots of attention, affection, and snacks. We received regular photo and video updates every day and felt like we were there with them!”
“Veronica did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and sent many updates to me on my trip! She was very understanding of travel delays and was so kind and accommodating. Thank you!”
“Haowen and his girlfriend were wonderful Rovers! I found Haowen after my previously-booked Rover cancelled last minute. Because of the last minute booking, I was very nervous, but Haowen was very attentive and asked a lot of questions up front to understand my dog’s needs and how best to accommodate her. During her stay, I received multiple pictures per day showing her having a wonderful time with Haowen.”
“I always feel so confident sending Penny to Antonio. I know she will always be well taken care of and have a great time. I received lots of updates and pictures throughout the weekend! Look forward to booking again!”
“Mandy is cheerful and easy-going. She provided photos of my pet regularly and confirmed that meals were consumed (since our pet refuses to eat at times) and exercise was given. The fenced yard and deck are ample for fresh air breaks and Ruby seemed very much at home during her stay.”
“Jinyu was the best dog sitter we could have dreamed of for our puppy. As new puppy parents, we really appreciated how carefully she followed our instructions. She was kind, thorough, and very easy to work with. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind while also allowing us the space to fully enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend working with her!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Soumaya! 🐾❤️ She took amazing care of our dog, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated every couple of hours with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how attentive and caring she was with him. Soumaya is incredibly kind, responsible, and super trustworthy. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Soumaya and would absolutely trust her with our dog again! ❤️🐶”
“Could not be happier with the professionalism and courtesy Arron showed my little puppy. He helped out a lot while I had some serious issues with another sitter (and I was out of the country). Would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Nainika took such great care of my terrier, Penny! Sent me updates and videos. I highly recommend Nainika as a pet sitter. She was responsive to my messages right away. Thank you Nainika for caring for Penny!”
“We had an absolutely fantastic experience boarding our dog Mac with Yick-hong and couldn’t recommend him and his fiancee more highly. Our dog can be pretty nervous in new environments, but he warmed up to them almost immediately, which gave us so much peace of mind right from the start. We received daily updates with photos and thoughtful notes, which truly meant the world to us. It was so clear that they treated Mac like their own — with patience, affection, and genuine care. Every update reassured us that he was not just being watched, but truly cared for and loved. Throughout our entire trip, we felt completely comfortable and confident that Mac was in excellent hands. We are so grateful and will absolutely book with them again!”
“Dana did a fantastic job with Huckleberry and made him very comfortable during his stay, including trips to the park and a bath. He even replaced a leash that was broken during his stay!”
“Wallace had the best time with Claire and her family. I know he loved sleeping with her kids and he was happy to see me again, but was actually a bit slow to get out the door and into the car. I'm positive he'd give them two thumbs up if he had thumbs!”

Fernanda took such good care of our pup. This was our first time leaving him with a sitter for multiple days. She did everything to make us feel at ease. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos, she took our dog to the dog park to play and she spent plenty of time playing with him at her place too. Our pup had a great time with her, I think he was sad to come back to us 😂 we would highly recommend Fernanda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Hunter took great care of my dog Maizie while he was in her care for 2.5 weeks. She is very communicative and provided frequent updates on Maizie. Maizie had a great time and enjoyed playing with her dogs as well! I would use Hunter again for future boarding and I would also recommend Hunter to any one looking for any dog services!
truly the BEST!!!! we are so attached to our dog that it takes a special person to put us at ease about his care and safety—Grant is that person! we’ve been so scared to use a sitter but now we’ve booked multiple times with Grant! so thoughtful, thorough, and caring
