About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog lover who works from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I’m patient, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and committed to making every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Since I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have flexibility for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, loving care with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My home also has a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time.
“Luci & her husband did a great job taking care of our dog recently for a couple of days. They have a fenced backyard - super for our dog to safely run & play with her dogs. When I returned to pick her up, the hosts provided me with a sweet thank you/remember them before leaving - a wonderul bag with colorful graphics of dogs, as well as a poop bag clipped to our dog's leash. They were lovely.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My first dog was an Alaskan husky and I have walked him, fed him, and bathed him. Throughout the years I have taken in 2 more dogs and have given them the same care as my first dog. I also have extensive experience taking care of other pet animals such as quails and rabbits and watching my aunts dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I can fit dog walking, sitting, and/or caring into my schedule at anytime! I am super flexible in regards to time and place. For dog grooming, I am available after 5pm Monday through Friday, anytime on weekends :) I feed my dogs 3 times a day, and give them treats as a reward for positive reinforcement. I also bathe them once a week & take them walking right after they are done eating. I have taken care of my aunts dogs by staying in her home or caring for them in my home. I have services such as dog beds, leashes, different kinds of dog food and treats, and a few clothes!
“Monique took great are of our dog Cork. We were very nervous about leaving her for a week. Monique kept us updated with daily pictures and was very accommodating with our drop off and pick up times. When we picked up Cork she seemed happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Monique.”
About: I’m bilingual in Spanish and English, responsible, and detail‑oriented — the kind of sitter who treats every dog like family. Whether your pet needs active play, gentle companionship, or structured care, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and well‑looked‑after while you’re away. I return for a longer walk or play session, focusing on exercise, stimulation, and behavior checks. I make sure they get movement, attention, and reassurance while their owners are away. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where every dog can relax and feel protected. My approach focuses on pet safety, consistent routines, and a calm atmosphere that helps dogs feel at ease. I make sure all spaces are secure, free of hazards, and set up with fresh water, cozy resting areas, and room for play.
“My dog was so well taken care of by Emy and her husband. I can tell by the photos and messages I received during his stay that they were being super attentive and giving him all the love that he gets at home. It was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous but after our first meeting, I knew Emy was the perfect fit. Will 100% be contacting her again in the future. Thanks guys!!”
“Ingrid was fantastic with our dog Waylon. We had photos, updates and he came back happy. Ingrid also has a great little area for dogs to play which has dif wonders for our dog. Will be using her again very soon.”
“Jillian was Amazing! 5 stars ! She was kind, responsive, easy to talk to and very communicative and sent a lot of pictures of when she watched my dog. I highly recommend and I would use her again in a heartbeat.”
“Liliana and her husband are wonderful. They were very flexible with us when our plans changed and great at communicating. We got plenty of photos and updates while our dog stayed with them and she was a very happy girl when we picked her up. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Charlotte was amazing and we will absolutely use her again! Our older boy had a bunch of different medicines to take at different points throughout the day and she was so organized and great with communication. She even went out to multiple stores to find the right low fat wet food he ran out of! Thank you Charlotte!”

“Very reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I got regular updates and photos, and my pup was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book again and highly recommended!!!!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my fur baby to Briana, and I couldn’t be more impressed! From the moment we met, it was clear that Briana is passionate about animals and genuinely cares for them. She took the time to learn about my dog's unique needs and routines, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay. Briana kept me updated with adorable photos and messages throughout the day, which made me feel at ease. It’s evident that she not only has the skills and experience but also the compassion to be an outstanding dog sitter. My dog came back happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun activities Briana provided. I can’t recommend Briana enough—if you want your pet to feel loved and cared for, she’s the one to call!”
About: I've been a chorkie mom for 15 years and I'm happy to say Pinky is still going strong! I have 6 years of experience taking care of 2-3 dogs at a time for family and friends, including senior dogs who require a little more care and affection. I love spending any free time I have playing with and caring for animals. I'm a part-time registered nurse. During my off days, I am available to play and care with your fur babies. I am also available for boarding during the week and on weekends but will have to be notified ahead of time. Safety is my priority for pinky which will be the same for your dog. Spacious backyard with cameras surrounding the property. Dogs will not be left unattended at any moment while outside. Out of an abundance of caution, dogs in my care will get an apple air tag attached to their collar. Kitchen counter tops and table will be cleared during their stay to avoid anything potentially harmful.
“Yajaira is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! ❤️ She was so accommodating and made time for a meet-and-greet, which was extremely important to me because I am very particular about who I trust with my dog after she experienced an injury while at a previous boarding facility. From the moment I met Yajaira, I felt comfortable with her. She has such a warm, kind, and beautiful personality, and I immediately knew she would be a great fit. My dog felt comfortable around her from the very beginning, which gave me even more reassurance. On the very first day, Yajaira sent me pictures and videos of my dog eating, playing, and going on walks. Those updates meant so much to me and truly put my heart at ease knowing she was happy, safe, and being well taken care of. She paid close attention to my dog's feeding schedule, routine, and individual needs. You can genuinely tell that Yajaira has a true passion for caring for animals. She is warm, attentive, responsible, and incredibly caring. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby, I highly recommend Yajaira! You can book with her knowing that both your mind and heart will be at peace. 🐾❤️”

Caring, attentive, and detail oriented. These are the words I would use to describe Allyson and her husband, who made a very panicky dog with big separation anxiety issues feel at ease and at home. I received regular updates, and she was very well taken care of during her stay. Would and will book this sitter again!
Our dogs, Luna and Billie, seemed to have a terrific time with Nadine and Daniel. This is the second time they have stayed with them and we couldn't be happier. The girls bounded in and seemed happy to be back. Great communication, lots of walks, pictures and updates. Will happily use them again in the future!!
Stefanie and her family were so wonderful with my dog Winnie. They sent me photos of her having a great time every day and I felt so comforted knowing she was safe and happy. In fact, Winnie had such an awesome time that she didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick her up! 😂❤️
