“Luna really had a great week with Alyson! I highly recommend her. She sent is daily updates. She took special care of our cat. The transition back home has been amazing. Hoping she will be our cat sitter forever!”
“Maizy came home from her visit with Whitney very relaxed. She seems to have enjoyed her time there. Whitney asked a lot of questions before we left Maizy with her, so I felt confident that she was going to take good care of her. She also responded immediately to all of my texts. Whitney and David are very calm and kind which is just what Maizy needs to feel comfortable in an unfamiliar place. I would definitely trust them again!”
“Daisy had a great time staying with Jessie! Jessie sends lots of great pictures, which we loved. Always great to come home to a happy & healthy pup!! Thanks Jessie!”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“We feel so lucky and grateful to have met Jamie and her family. Our dog Jaxon had the best time and we never had to worry about him. While we were busy moving our college student, Jamie and her family made it so easy for us to focus on that, knowing Jaxon was cared for and happy.”
“Daniel and his dog Annie were a wonderful match for our dog, Tegan. He even arranged a meet-up beforehand so the dogs could get to know each other, which gave us peace of mind. During Tegan’s stay, Daniel sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Tegan usually takes a day or two to settle in and start eating when she’s in a new environment, but with Daniel and Annie she felt right at home from the start. We’ll definitely ask Daniel to watch Tegan again in the future!”
“Kayla was fantastic! She took such great care of my dog Percy. He got lots of exercise and attention, and he enjoyed playing with her very sweet dogs. Kayla kept me updated on how he was doing, including sending amazing photos of his adventures! I would highly recommend her!”
“Jess and her family were AMAZING with Jack and Mazie - long walks, alot of cuddles - both my dogs came home happy and it was clear they felt safe and comfortable. Thank you all!”
“Hi. Hello. It’s me. Kona. Baby dog. CEO of this house while my humans are gone. I would like to speak about Loren. Because WOW. First of all: Loren showed up for me. Suspicious. Heroes do that. Loren knew my name immediately. I never told them. (Okay maybe my humans did, but still. Magic.) She understood my language. I signaled: *snout budging* She asked: “You need to go outside.” Correct. Genius. Scholar. She fed me EXACTLY when I was starving to death (which happens every 9 hours). She gave me food AND didn’t steal it AND didn’t rush me even when I dropped it on the floor on purpose to test her loyalty. Passed. She took me on a walk. Not a “quick” walk. A **sniff-every-tree-branch-like-it’s-a-mystery-novel** walk. She waited while I investigated the same bush for 4 straight minutes because something smelled like *crime*. She played with me. Not “throw ball once” play. Real play. The kind where I bring the toy back and she act surprised EVERY TIME. Excellent acting. Five stars. When I got tired, she noticed. I didn’t even have to dramatically collapse. She said, “Aww, nap time.” YES. FINALLY. SOMEONE WHO GETS ME. She respected my boundaries. Except when I needed exactly 17 belly rubs and then ONE MORE or I would simply pass away. She stayed. She protected the house with me. We heard a noise once. Probably the wind. But still. We were brave together. In conclusion: The Dog Sitter is ✨ The Best Human ✨ ✨ A Treat Giver ✨ ✨ A Walk Bringer ✨ ✨ My New Best Friend ✨ I will miss her. Unless she comes back. Which she should. Immediately. 10/10 Would allow to dog sit me again and share my toys (which is a BIG deal). End of report. BORK. - Kona 🐾”
“Alec and Damien were so kind! My cat loved being at their place. There was plenty of room and things to explore and he was very much well taken care of. 100% would recommend them!”
“Salem is wiped out! Will be using Paula again for sure. She sent lots of videos and pictures of my pup having fun at the park. Nothing like coming home after a weekend away to a pooped dog. She slept all day yesterday while I settled back in. Thanks Paula!”
“Casey was amazing with our dogs, Cloe (7) and Luna (12)! It was our first time leaving them with someone outside the family, and she made us feel completely at ease. She even invited us to her home before the stay to help them transition smoothly. We got regular updates during our trip, and when she brought them home, they were clearly happy and well cared for. We’re so thankful and will absolutely book with Casey again!”
“We had a great experience with Sean! It was our first time using rover and he was awesome to work with. He was super responsive and gave us daily updates and pics of our pup which we loved. Would use him again!”
About: I am someone who will love and care for your dog like they are my own. I will make sure they get everything they need whether it’s walks, treats, pets or help getting around. I love watching dogs so much that my wife rolls her eyes with how attached I get to them! I work full time but am looking to help out when I get home from work and on work from home days and weekends. From Wednesday through Sunday are the best times for me but am also willing to help out after my work days. My home is your dogs home. I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for all dogs, dogs are allowed to come stay in bed or come up on the couch and will be loved and cared for to the fullest extent
“Our dog Ollie had a wonderful overnight visit with Julie! Ollie loved having a pal, Julie’s dog Amber, to play with. Amber is the happiest pup I’ve ever met. Ollie loved Julie’s big fenced in yard and her great screened porch. Julie took wonderful care of our precious pup. I highly recommend Julie for your pup care needs. Thank you Julie!!! 🐶🩵”
“Delayni and her family took great care of Ruby! After a quick meet and great, they were looking forward to her stay and Ruby felt right at home. I appreciated all of Delayni’s updates and was grateful to pick up a happy and tired pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook or recommend Delayni!”
“Dana is the best sitter around! He went above and beyond when we forgot to bring a leash and bowl insisting he could take care of it and that he would buy a leash! He is so kind and understanding. Best of all, once again Bella absolutely loved her stay with Dana”

As always, Alana was the most amazing sitter for Murphy! This visit, my husband and I were away for Murphy’s 2nd birthday and Alana was so sweet to celebrate his birthday and send us the cutest picture. She goes above and beyond, always, and Murphy hesitates to leave because he has so much fun with her. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet boy! You’re the best!
Ziggy stayed with Julie and Amber for 10 days, which is one of the longest times she has been away from us . Julie was great and very patient with Ziggy and met Ziggy where she was (she can be scared around new people ) , provided regular updates , was quick to respond and we felt very comfortable leaving Ziggy here as Julie is a very experienced and thoughtful animal and dog lover.
Ross took our small dog Joy for 2 days during the holidays and it went fantastic. Ross was easy to work with and an excellent communicator. Our puppy was taken on walks, played with and very well taken care of. We will definitely use Ross's pet services again on future trips. I highly recommend any of his services.
My dog Bhalu was very happy living with Giovanni his dog -Neron as well his family. In fact he learned a lot from Neron. They played at their backyard and became friends. Giovanni poured out tremendous love on Bhalu. I would recommend anyone who wants boarding for their dog to go to Giovanni.

Margaret did an amazing job taking care of our pup, Lucy! Margaret hosted an overnight for Lucy at her home, and Lucy had a blast. Margaret was very communicative which we really appreciated since this was Lucy’s first night with a non-family member. She was also willing to do this over the Thanksgiving holiday too. Thank you again for everything, Margaret!
Karin and Charlie took such good care of Pax! He immediately seemed at ease with them and quickly made himself at home. They sent very cute pictures and updates everyday, and we returned to a very happy boy! It was so nice to be able to have peace of mind, knowing that he was relaxed and having fun🥰
