“Laurel was wonderful with my dog during doggy day care. She was so accommodating and flexible with scheduling, which made things really easy. My dog was well cared for and came home happy and tired each day. I’d definitely recommend Laurel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Tae was wonderful with my puppy all week and he can’t wait to be with her again this week! Tae takes such good, kind care of little Iggy and all of his little puppy needs! We love her!”
“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”
“Nancy has been a fantastic caregiver for my dog! Her communication is thorough, she sends me pictures throughout the day, and she has been really wonderful about all of my pet’s medical needs. She feels like a real partner! A+ for Nancy!”
“Jamie was great! Was flexible with an early pickup, communicated quickly, and took good care of our pup. Benji immediately made himself at home and seemed sad to go, he enjoyed his time with Jamie and Sammie.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Alex and the care he provides! Alex was caring and communicative. Our dog clearly had a great time with him and got SO much play! Would highly recommend him!”
About: I have experience with most small and medium breeds of dogs, from Italian Greyhounds (my own!) and other sighthounds to Beagles, Dachshunds, Maltese, Corgis, Shiba Inu, Border Collies, Chihuahuas, terriers, spaniels, and other wonderful dogs who don't fall into a single breed. I have cared for my family's Italian Greyhounds for 30 years, having IGs of my own for nearly 20 years, and in 2016 nursing my dog back to health when he was using a feeding tube and multiple medications after surgery. He recovered healthier than ever at 9 years old and defied the odds to become free of all meds and treatments, living to nearly 17! Currently, I have two Italian Greyhounds, Pippi and Sophie, who are happy to hang out with new furry friends, and who seem to enjoy Rover visitors as much as I do :). I'm happy to walk your dog in the neighborhood area, or let them play in my fenced yard. I am able to assist with senior dogs and am able to administer oral medications. When your dogs come over to visit, they will be loved and cuddled, have access to toys, and have the option to play with two highly socialized iggies (Italian Greyhounds). I work from home as an independent art curator, so this gives me the ability to be quite flexible in scheduling and in adapting to provide the best care for your dog. Your dog(s) will get lots of cuddles and scratches/massage (whatever they like!), as there are always dogs surrounding me whenever I am sitting. Outside time can be leash walking around the neighborhood or playing in the fenced yard, or leash walking in the unfenced portion of the yard. We can also go to a dog park if that’s their jam. Treat time (treats approved by you, their person) usually happens after going potty or as a treat between meals. For sleeping, I’ll try to replicate what they are used to at home, whether that is sleeping in their own bed on the floor, sleeping in human bed with their people, or sleeping in a bed in a crate (I have extra crates and beds). Upon arrival, they will be introduced to my well-adjusted Italian Greyhounds individually so as to make sure everyone is comfortable.
“Lyndsey and Evan were amazing! We got multiple photo update throughout the day. They even took Oscar for a 3 mile walk, and their dog Rosie kept him entertained all day long.”
About: My family started to take care of different dogs since the beginning of 2024. We live in a single big house, and have back yard fenced for dogs to play, my work is almost remote at home, and my mom is a housewife, we both can spend a lot of time taking care of dogs! My work is almost remote at home, and my mom is a housewife, we both have a lot of time taking care of and playing with pets daily and weekly! I have a clean empty bedroom where can provide a private room only for pet if needed, I also have a opened yard for pets to play, I will stay with them when they are play in the yard.
“Archie loves going to Lace’s house. Very grateful we found her! We booked Lace for a week for dog daycare do to home renovations. Archie loved going so much I have since booked weekly visits for him to keep going to Lace’s dog daycare!”
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember and have has pets of my own as early as 5 years old. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and any activity level. I just had to put my 12 year old pup, Penny, down who I have has since 8 weeks old. There is a huge hole in my life and I would love to help out with your pets in any way possible. I truly love animals so much and love to care for them. I work full time, from home and love to get out for walks during the day. I tend to have pockets of free time during the day where I can help with whatever your pet needs that day. I have an unfenced back yard and I live in a very walkable area. I love to give the pet all the love and attention they need!
“Wanda was very responsive and able to accomidate my dog at the last minute. She did a great job taking care of my pup for the day and I'd definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a good sitter.”
“Eric is very flexible and easy to communicate with. Beautiful home and yard for pups to play all day.I like that he does have over some other well behaved pups so that mine can socialize. Would trust him with my babies anytime. I get daily updates and photos which are greatly appreciated.”
“Sean took care of our 2 year Yorkie, Luca, for the day We wanted to get them acquainted before an upcoming weekend stay. Luca settled right in with Sean. He provided Luca good care, is responsible and accommodated our requests. Overall very satisfied and feel much better about Luca’s upcoming weekend/overnight stay.”
“Debbie went above and beyond for us. She spent plenty of time acclimating our 4 mo puppy to her home and dogs for his first daycare session. We received pics and updates during his stay. Our dog had a great supervised socialization session with Debbie and other dogs, and had a chance to gain confidence in staying with others. Will definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“Rachel was wonderful with Paisley! Rachel sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the day to keep us updated on all the fun they were having! Would definitely recommend Rachel in the future!”

Michael was great for Comet. He was very communicative with setting up a time to meet, and he and his family took great care of our boy. It was over 100 degrees out so they made sure to take him on more frequent but shorter walks. We will definitely be using him again in the future
