“Lana is an excellent dog sitter! I give her a 10 out of 5-star rating! She showered my fur babies with love and attention. When I returned home after being away for 6 days, everything was just as I left it—my house was clean, and my pets were happy and well cared for. Lana provided regular updates, demonstrating her excellent communication skills. I will definitely be choosing to work with her in the future!”

“Debbie was fantastic. She house sat and watched our two larger (and older) dogs. The girls were well cared for with medication and being spoiled. She sent regular updates and asked great questions before staying. Highly recommend Debbie!”


“Skylar was an absolute gem of a pet and house sitter! Our first time using Rover and having a sitter made us a little nervous, of course, but Skylar was great at responding to messages, sending us updates on our pets, and keeping everyone happy while we were out of state! Will absolutely book again if possible!”


“Kyle was a fantastic dog-sitter! He was on-time, attentive, and quick to respond when booking a meet'n'greet, and the official date of his stay. He took great care of our dogs, and was very good about sending pictures and updates during his stay. We will definitely plan to book him again in the future!!!”



“Latisha was great! I can see that she genuinely loves animals and cares for them. She took care of my very senior dog and 2 cats while my family was gone for a trip for a few days. She was also very communicative and sent many pictures/videos!”


About: With 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I bring a calm, confident, and loving presence to every pup I meet. I’ve fostered dogs for over two decades—helping dozens of dogs transition into happy homes—and have also managed a busy doggy daycare, where I oversaw playgroups, feeding schedules, behavior assessments, and lots of tail wags! As a proud dog mom of two fur babies myself, I treat every dog in my care like family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, snuggles while you’re away, or a safe space to stay, you can count on me to provide reliable, professional, and loving care—with plenty of updates and adorable pics along the way! 🐕💕 Hi, I’m Ashley! I’ve been caring for dogs for 20+ years through fostering, doggy daycare management, and raising my own pups. As a realtor, I work from home often, so your pet will have plenty of attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day! I treat every pet like family and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I maintain a calm, secure environment and never leave pets unsupervised during visits or boarding. Clean, safe, and stress-free is my goal!

“I was very nervous about leaving my pups for the first time but after meeting this sweet girl I was put more at easy. My dogs can be a lot and she seemed to take it all in stride. I appreciate the great care she took of them. I would definitely book her again.”


“Layna was warm, professional and very accommodating. She was communicative and flexible and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well cared for while we were away. I would certainly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs!”


“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my golden doodle, who can be a little particular when it comes to people. She was patient, kind, and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent daily updates with pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house — couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve worked at Boarding and Daycare facilities for dogs so I know how to manage various sizes and age. Im not a certified Dog Trainer but I've trained a couple of dogs and have received glowing reviews.I’ve also owned a few dogs and 1 blind cat myself! I have a full time job that I work Monday-Thursday 7am-4:30pm. I do require at least 2 days notice for all services with the exception of dog walking. I may be available Thursday afternoons if asked ahead of time. I can’t have any animals where I currently live so, I will be based out of clients home. I follow all rules and boundaries you have regarding your home and personal spaces. I’m there for your dog and that’s it!

About: Growing up I always had animals around me. My childhood dog, Twinkie was a cute little yappy Pomeranian. She was a picky eater, but would always save a treat in her bowl and only ate it with me after I came home from school. In high school I volunteered at the local Wildlife Rescue where I cared for various small injured animals. I was responsible for feeding and weighing them, cleaning their cages, raising meal worms, and even got to observe surgeries. After college I lived a veterinarian so I am used to caring for random foster animals without notice. I work from home with a flexible schedule to care for animals. I can type on my computer in the same room your pet naps. I can take your pet on walks at any time needed, though I recommend mornings and evenings due to the current heat outside. I cook and clean for all of my own meals and can do the same for your pet. I can schedule cuddles or play time as needed throughout the day as well. :) I have a downstairs lounge, an upstairs living room, and a few bonus rooms in which your pet can relax. There are no other animals or plants in these areas. Crating is fine, but I prefer animals to have more space and freedom to move about. If I am coming to your home I am happy to follow any rules or special instructions you may have. During down times I will be using my laptop quietly in the same room as your pet.

“Cristina did a fantastic job babysitting our two dogs while we were traveling for over a week. Giorgi and Lucy love spending time with her. She kept us well-informed with regular updates and sent us plenty of pictures. Thank you, Cristina, for taking such great care of our pups!”



About: I've owned dogs all my life. A home is not a home if you don't have paw pals. If I care for your baby I will take care of him as if he were mine. They will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch. I also have a fenced yard so they will be safe and well taken care of. Your pet will not be bored. I have one dog myself and she is solid rotten. I do work but, I do 3 days on 4 days off. My son is home during the day, and he's off on weekends. He loves to play with the dogs, and he also helps walk the dogs when needed. 😍 Your baby will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch.

About: I have been caring for my own dogs and close family and friends pets for about 10 years now. I have always had a dog, since I can remember and I have always loved animals. I take my dog outside to use the restroom once every hour, more if he shows signs of needing to use the restroom. I do exercise daily, so if your pet needs that I can provkde it. I know what each breed of dogs needs as far as care, so if you have medicine that needs to be administered during care I can do that too. I’m very outgoing and flexible with my schedule.

Dejana J.
“I cannot speak highly enough of the care Dejana provides for dogs. From the moment I entrusted my dog to her, I felt a sense of comfort and confidence that is rare to find. Dejana has an incredible ability to connect with animals. She’s patient, loving, and deeply attentive to each dog’s individual needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, grooming, or simply spending time playing and bonding, Dejana treats every dog as if they were her own. She notices the little things like changes in behavior or appetite and takes proactive steps to ensure their well-being. My dog absolutely lights up when he sees her, which says more than any words can.”


Jason C.
“As a veterinarian, I’ve met countless pet lovers and caregivers—but few have the natural connection with animals that Jason does. He’s not just reliable; he genuinely enjoys being around the pets he cares for, and they clearly feel the same way. Whenever he pet-sits for me, I can see on our home cameras that the moment he walks in, he’ll flop onto the couch—and within seconds, both my dog and cat are curled up in his lap. It’s their favorite cuddle spot, and it’s become part of their routine when he’s around. That kind of comfort and trust from animals speaks volumes. I always know my pets are in loving, capable hands when I’m away. He’s attentive, gentle, and calm under pressure—whether he’s giving meds, managing quirks in behavior, or just making sure everyone feels safe and settled. I truly wish he hadn’t relocated to Texas, because finding someone with that kind of intuitive, compassionate care isn’t easy. If you're looking for someone who treats your pets like family—and who your pets will instinctively trust—he's your person.”

Manolita H.
“Manolita would be a GREAT dog sitter. She has always been a lover of dogs. She loves and cares for them like each of them as family. If I didn't actually see her dogs I'd never know that she has pets because her house is always clean and I've never smelled a dog odor.”

Kaila C.
“Kaila have been my dog sitter for years. My dogs love her. They look forward to her coming every time. It’s so wonderful to know I’m leaving my babies in such loving, capable hands. I have two large dogs - a lab and a pit, and she handles them both perfectly. I trust her to walk them, feed them, administer meds, and give them endless cuddles. She takes care of the space and keeps it clean, and goes above and beyond always. She’s reliable. If she says she is going to be there she shows up. She is always my first choice for a dog sitter because I know they will be well cared for and well loved while I’m gone. Our fur babies don’t always get to enjoy the vacations we go on, but the deserve the best life too and I know when Kaila comes to take care of them it’s a mini vacay for them too.”
