“This was our first time leaving mila with someone other than family. And Nikkie was amazing! She hosted Mila for 10 days and was so supportive sending photos and updates! Ensuring me that mila was having a great time and well taken care of! From day one our first meet up I could tell mila would be in good hands with Nikkie! I highly recommend her to watch your loved pets as they’ll be well loved, taken care of and feel right at home in Nikkie’s place! Thank you again for hosting mila and giving her the love she needed while I was away! I will definitely be returning to nikkie time and time again!”


“Boba had such a great time at Jefri and Gwen’s place! We really appreciated all the updates on her daily activities—it was so comforting to see how welcomed and happy she felt in your home. We could tell she was in great hands. Boba can’t wait to hang out with you both again!”


“Ash is amazing every time I book her, and it’s so nice to not worry about my dog on trips because I have a trusted sitter that takes care of my dog as if it’s her own. Cannot wait to book again :)”


“Jordan & Rachel Family is amazing. They took photos of my baby and sent them to me.They also do a meet & Greet to meet them and there dogs before you book. I have no complaints at all. Will book again with them. Thanks T Family”


About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember! I was incharge of bathing, feeding, and picking up after our dogs since I was 10. 10 years later and now I am fortunate to share my own precious dog Ghostie with my roomate! Together we manage her feeding, walking, play time, and training. Between our two schedules we always have time to be home to take care of Miss Ghostie! I also have other animal care experience including horses, goats, pigs, and chickens, so I am confident in following care instructions. I used the Rover app a couple years ago, so I’m familiar with the processes, but I am new to using the at home dog care. I will be home for the majority of the time, but when i’m not my roomate will be home to watch your dog too. Both of us are committed to the dogs we watch in our home. We frequently watch my dad’s dog, and they always have the best time, so we thought this app would be a good opportunity to give our Ghostie some more friends! We just have to introduce Ghostie to your doggy and they will be begging to have play dates at my house :) I am also available for dog walks in the mornings before it gets too hot outside. I love hikes, so please let me know if I can hike with your dog! I currently work from 3-9pm, 5 days a week. Im off and home all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I work at the restaurant down the street and its so close I could walk. I have an indoor camera to keep an eye on the dogs and in the case of an emergency I can get home in under 5 minutes. The maximum amount of time I will be gone a day is 6 hours. Its getting to be super hot so I typically take my dog on daily walks early morning and after sunset. I also like to fit in atleast one or two hikes a week to keep my dog happy! I have a screened in patio the leads to a small fenced in yard with fake grass for potty area. I leave the doors cracked open so they can always access the backyard. I feed my dog morning and night, give her regular baths, brush her teeth, regular walks, play fetch, and to wind down give lots of cuddles at night.

“Cathy has a great yard with lots of room for dogs to run and play. There were a few other dogs, some regulars, which shows the trust other have for Cathy to watch their dogs. Chico had a great time!”


“Khadouj was very friendly and responded quick to any questions as well as sending me pictures. She took very good care of my dog and would definitely book with her again!”


“Toby came back a happy pup. I was at ease our whole trip knowing he would have a great time with the kiddos and all the attention he got. I received daily communication and pics : )”


“Jessica was fantastic! She was able to help me out last minute with my little guy. Her home is lovely and her backyard even has real grass, a real treat for Arizona dogs :) she took great care of Kiba, even sending an update and picture! He’s usually not a great eater but she made him feel comfortable to eat most of his food! Would definitely recommend!”


“Lacey and her family were awesome with my senior XL fur baby. My trip was planned last minute and Lacey responded quickly and with no hesitation to provide Mia with a loving family environment while I was away. She sent photos regularly reassuring me that Mia had happily adjusted, which was a concern since my big baby tends to have separation anxiety. There’s a good reason Lacey has so many return clients. She & her family take great care of their furry visitors and provide a relaxed environment as well as a great outdoor play space. We’ll be back again.”


“Junyeong & June took excellent care of our Danika. We requested an extension for emergency reason and we were so happy that they were willing to take care of Danika. They send us pictures and updates. Danika enjoys her stay with them.”


“Ryan was an amazing sitter! It was our dog’s first time to board in a house and we didn’t expect that she would have an extreme separation anxiety! Ryan was able to handle all that, he took care of her really well. He also sends me updates and photos of our dog and he’s very responsive. His place was neat and clean, safe and a nice backyard. I’m grateful for Ryan! Thank you for loving our needy Zoey!”



“Deborah is a wonderful lady. She took great care of my dogs and treated them as if they were her own. Her home is set up in a way that keeps dogs truly happy, they are able to go outside ad there is a bench where they can look out the window. I 100% recommend booking with her!”


“We could not ask for a better experience with Elizabeth! Her compassionate and loving care of our maltipoo, Bentley, was exceptional. She was attentive in the details, thorough and reliable. Elizabeth treated our dog Bentley like one of her own. She provided regular updates with pictures and made sure Bentley was happy and well-exercised throughout his stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands; a very good experience overall!”


“Enzo had a blast at Erin’s. She and her family kept him busy and entertained all day. Definitely someone you can trust with your pups. Thank you Erin! “Five Paw” service 🐾!”


“Vanessa is the perfect pet sitter. She is super kind, loving, consientious, and communicative. Our pups had a great time. I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Vanessa. She exceeded all expectations. She is the best!”


“Paul and his family are wonderful dog lovers! My Australian Shepherd mix loved them and played so hard he slept all day after I picked him up. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Paul.”
