“Kevin was super kind and easy to work with! Communication was great from the beginning as he was prompt with accepting my request. I received pictures during the stay which I appreciated and helped keep my mind at ease. He asked plenty of questions to make sure everything went smoothly. My baby was her jolly self when I picked her up which lets me know she was well taken care of. He clearly has a true love for animals. I would absolutely use Kevin services in the future and recommend you give him a try 10/10.”
“Richard was great. Our dog Cannoli had such a fun weekend while we were away. We received pictures daily and loved knowing she had other pups to play with as well!”
“Nicoly was the perfect sitter for my dog Bandit. She is loving, patient and attentive. I received daily picture/video updates from walks to cuddles. Bandit couldn’t have been in better hands.”
“Melissa is a thoughtful and caring dog-sitter. She told me she loves dogs and it show in all her actions when she dog sat my labradoodle. She read him very well and met his emotional needs.”
“Judy was amazing. She was very patient and attentive with Cary. She was extremely communicative with me and was very flexible with any changes I needed ❤️”
“Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”
“The absolute best!!! Anastasiia went above and beyond with our dog Oliver. She took him on walks, hiking and to the dog park and sent us the most beautiful pictures throughout the day! She is so sweet and I can tell our dog loved his stay! Don’t look any further…Book Anastasiia!! She is the best dog sitter we have ever dealt with!”
“Clinton & his son were terrific. Our dog, Ripley, came home very happy. She got along very well with their dog and they kept each other company. We also received photos while we were away which was great.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I am a Vet Tech full-time with hands-on experience working around dogs in both grooming and veterinary settings. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including those who require extra patience or medical attention. I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while keeping pet parents updated so they always feel at ease and informed. I currently work a full time job as a vet tech in a local general practice, if I’m pet sitting I’m allow to take them with me, where they are going to be loved for everyone working there. I’m off Tuesday, Thursdays and saturdays afternoon and Sunday all day, mon-wed-Friday work 9-5 My location is 2min from a dog park where I walk my own pets everyday. I’ll always use leash walking them. Also I’ll be sending pictures to owners every day to keep owners informed
“Nandita was absolutely wonderful! We set up a meeting ahead of time to make sure my rescue would get along well with her dog Ozzy and my pup was immediately comfortable with her (you can tell she’s a dog person!) and she helped him get comfortable and acclimate to her space before we confirmed- this really put me at ease. During my dog’s stay Nandita sent regular photos and videos so that while I was away I always knew that my pup was content and happy. She has excellent communication throughout the whole planning and visit and as an added bonus her space is perfect for a dog stay especially her backyard, dog friendly neighborhood, etc. I look forward to booking with Nandita again and really think she is an incredible dog sitter. Thank you Nandita and Ozzy for a great vacation for our pup and I look forward to booking with you again for future trips!!”
“Kylo had a great stay with Anner! He was really accommodating of some hectic scheduling for the meet and greet, and we were able to see that Kylo would be comfortable for his stay ahead of time. Anner sent videos and some photos while we were away of Ky enjoying the yard and playing with other pups. When we picked Kylo up, he seemed like he had a great time! Thanks, Anner, for taking great care of our slightly older, very goofy boy!”
“John was amazing and took such good care of our dog! He sent pictures every day and was extremely responsive. Our dog loved staying at his home and I would definitely book with him again!”
“Andrea was fabulous with my Bella. I had to leave her for 9 days which I was very nervous about, but Andrea sent me daily updates and I could tell by the pictures sent that she was happy and healthy. I know my Bella can be a little needy when it comes to attention, but Andrea reassured me that she would be home with her the whole time.”
“Irene was wonderfully communicative and took great care of our Chihuahua mix. It's such a relief having someone close by who can look after our dog like her own. I definitely plan to leave Pinky with Irene again in the future!”
“Kya had the best time with Tina and Troy! Tina gave her the best care and sent pictures and videos of her having the best stay! Thank you so much for making sure Kya had a great stay and for making us feel so comfortable! 10/10 Recommend!”
“I'm so overjoyed and relieved I found Gaileen and her family. I am new to using Rover. In the process of looking for a sitter, I ran into unreliable sitters and sitters who were not a match for my pet and I. From the meet and greet to after my dogs first overnight Gaileen and her family put me at ease. At the meet and greet, she was professional asking preferences for my dog's comfort. Once the stay occurred, she messaged me with updates and pictures throughout the day. By the second visit, my senior dog seemed comfortable and happy to be there. She is a responsible , caring and professional sitter. I'm truly happy to have found her.”
“Took the time to make sure my pup was at home and comfortable. He can be a little shy at first but Carrigan made sure he felt safe. Unsurprisingly, he seemed to adjust very quickly.”

Clinton was such a lovely host to Beau. I don’t think Beau will be happy back with us.🤦🏻♀️ From plating his food - to getting his allergy medicine that we forgot to pack. jumping in when flights got cancelled, keeping him another night and providing his favourite fruits and veg for toppers and snacks throughout the day. A big gracias, merci and than you Clinton we will be back 🩵🤍🩷🙏🏼
Kevin and Ana are the best. Our pup Bruce is officially obsessed with them after a few walks and one weekend stay- he didn’t want to leave! They were so great about acclimating our dog with their neighborhood and house, then slowly introducing him to their own dogs. We received pics and videos all weekend, proving that he was (more than) well taken care of. We will definitely keep booking with these two!
Está muy bien, solo haría unos pequeños cambios para que suene más natural en inglés: She was amazing! My dog loved her so much that when I went to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave, which showed me that she felt safe and comfortable. Yury was also super sweet and always sent me videos and pictures. I will DEFINITELY book with her again! Thank you, Yury — we are so grateful! También podrías hacerlo un poco más cálido: She was amazing! My dog absolutely loved her. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t want to leave, which told me she felt safe, happy, and comfortable. Yury was incredibly sweet and kept me updated with videos and pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you Yury, we are so grateful for the wonderful care you gave our dog! ❤️
Richard and his wife are caring and took very care of my dog Paddy. My dog had a couple of great stays and we appreciate the daily updates and photos. We will continue using Richard and I highly recommend him if you are looking for a pet sitter whose house feels like home!
We had such a wonderful experience boarding our miniature dachshund, Bailey! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. Jon took amazing care of her and we are really impressed with his knowledge and attention to detail. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We could tell he was treated like family. We’ll absolutely be booking with Jon again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog boarder!
Karen and her family are absolutely wonderful! Our dogs received more attention and exercise than they ever get at home — which is truly saying something. We were away for over a week, and knowing our babies were in such loving, capable hands was an enormous relief. We couldn't recommend Karen more highly and will definitely be booking with her again!
Tina was lovely. Extremely communicative sending multiple pictures a day with videos. She immediately answered any queries. She also went out of her way to get my pup extra treats on his birthday. Lots of walks, lots of play time. She even prepared Bubbles food when he ran out. She’s an amazing sitter!
Azucely S. was amazing with Chewy and took such great care of him. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated the whole time, which really gave me peace of mind. Chewy looked so comfortable and happy with her, and it truly felt like he was right at home. I would definitely trust her with him again and highly recommend her.
Chaz had another lovely stay with Rosediane. He had a great time! He was very happy to see her when we got to her house. She sent updates and pictures every day! Chaz has stayed with her a few times since 2023 and I always feel comfortable leaving him with Rosediane because I know he’s well cared for by her!
Just amazing! Took such good care of my babies. My girl is a rescue with a history of abuse and she went straight to Yulia. She sent pictures while we were away and took care of our old man who suffers from heart failure. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!
Ginger didn’t even want to leave. She and Rye got along super well. Katie and Tausif were both very attentive and made sure she had a ball. They sent smiley pictures. They also followed my care instructions well, which I appreciate. I can tell Ginger can’t wait to come back.
