“Mariana was wonderful. This was only our second time using a boarder (or Rover) but we have only positive things to say. She sent us many picture, videos and cute comments about how are dog was doing and getting on with her boarding adventure. Mariana is very sweet natured and it’s clear she really cares about each dog in her care. Highly recommend her.”

“What a life saver!! She was able to watch my dog last minute before me and my fiance missed our flights. We had another Rover sitter that was unable to take care of our Taz last minute and from the minute we dropped Taz off I felt like he was in good hands with educated dog lovers that knew what they were doing. It was our dog first time in another home and I was so nervous that he would be scared but she sent pictures and he got to go outside. Will be using her again for sure!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ?”

“Wendy was amazing with my baby my dog came home very happy had no issues extremely accommodating and understanding this was very last minute due to my circumstances and she took my baby in no problem very happy with my choice would recommend her a million times over 🐶🩷”

“Such an attentive dog sitter with daily updates at least twice a day. Elizabeth and her her lovely family took great care of our Doberman mix. She got so much love and attention I was afraid Pixie wouldn’t want to come home with me. Lol. I got a cute little doggie report card at pickup detailing her stay. Will definitely book with her again.”


“Deuce can sometimes get a bit of separation anxiety when he leaves his family. He, however, was so comfortable with Maggie and Moose that he forgot about us and anxiety was gone! Maggie updated us and sent pics throughout Deuce's stay. We plan on using Maggie when we go on our next family vacation. Great job!”

“inam and jennifer took care of my dog on super short notice and he seemed like he didn't want to leave when i came to pick him up! he had such a great time and they were very kind to me! jennifer even took some amazing photos of my pup. highly recommend!”

“Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!”


“Rzeka always has a wonderful time with her new and old friends at Alan and Louis’s. They keep in touch daily and it’s comforting to know she’s in good hands.”
“Nickimmy was great-totally recommend. She was super responsive when communicating about a nd treated Milo like he was her own family pet. My fiancé and I were very nervous to leave Milo with someone new to him, as we are anxious pet parents, but we both felt immediately comfortable leaving Milo in Nickimmy’s care. She provided frequent pictures and check ins, lots of walks and time outside, and she even comforted him when he woke up in the middle of the night howling bc he missed us! We will definitely leave Milo with Nickimmy again and can’t recommend her and her sweet family enough.”

“Would highly recommend!! Ifan was great with Pierre and was very responsive when I asked for pictures and videos during his stay. My dog did a lot of running around outside in his backyard and playing with the other dogs he was watching, but when it came time for me to pick him up he looked good as new. Brushed and came with an adorable handkerchief! He was great!”

“Lori is great with our cats. She doesn’t just stop by to feed them; she brushes them and plays with them too. She goes out of her way to make sure their routine is maintained as much as possible while we’re away and we greatly appreciate it.”

“I am so grateful to have found this Karina and Teresa. They accommodated me last minute during the holidays and made the whole experience completely stress-free. They were very attentive, kept me updated with frequent photos and videos, and made sure my puppy felt safe and loved the entire time. I could tell he was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, and I will definitely be booking with them again.”


About: We have both had dogs since our childhood but are dogless now. We look forward to the opportunity to work with your furry family member! There are two of us that love dogs living here. We both work from home and would love to help! We do have doggy visitors at times and we are more than happy to help! We live in a condo near a walking path and love walking it! We wouldn't mind the company when we have your dog or when you need someone to walk your family friend! Brian has a sometimes flexible 40 hour work week. I run an after-school art education franchise but am never too busy to give proper attention to a doggy friend. Please let us know if your dog has any special needs or quirks. For example, a prior dog just could just not handle other dogs who approached him. He was quite harmless, but very nervous. We would like to know anything similar to that or whether your dog needs special care when they are with us, i.e. medications or food, et cetra.
“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

“Erika is an amazing sitter and really is so attentive to our dogs. My Charlie is a terrible eater and picks at his food, Erika took extra special time to make sure he was well fed. I loved getting pictures, multiple times a day to be able to see my boys while I was away. I highly remember Erika.”

“Janelle and her family were wonderful caretakes of our puppy. She is very attentive to his needs and gave him a lot of attention and love. He is very happy there and we would highly recommend Janelle!”
“Christle was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She kept them busy and happy during their stay. She sent pictures and updates throughout their stay and was always quick to respond. My dogs will be staying with her again in the future.”

“I just want to start off by saying, never judge anyone’s profile just because they haven’t gotten the opportunity to sit more dogs than others. Gaileen and her family were absolutely amazing. From the first meeting they were nice, understanding , and very welcoming. My Klee Kai Xura felt so happy and safe. Every single step of the way Gaileen sent me photos, daily updates on xura status and behavior and performed her duties as a sitter. I just want to thank them so much for their hospitality and I will definitely book them again soon”
