“Absolutely amazing, fabulous and incredibly caring and thoughtful caregivers! They are very experienced with dogs and create a safe and playful environment! I will definitely be bringing my dog back and recommending them to friends!!”


“Jamie was great taking care of Maya, she sent me multiple updates throughout the week and made sure Maya was comfortable and happy!! I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future!!”

“We have never left Lady as long as we did for our most recent trip, and we could never have had the piece of mind to leave her, if she was with anyone but Elliott! Her tail wags from start to finish! We are so grateful for Elliott's daily updates with pictures of our beautiful girl :)”

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.
“Kerrin and Chris were amazing with our dog Lizzie—she had an absolute blast staying with them. They sent daily pictures, which gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear she was being cared for like part of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Rachel did an amazing job taking care of Kaia for a week! She was super responsive, accommodating, and adored Kaia very much. Definitely felt like my pup was in great hands.”

“Ester loved her weekend with Emily, Dan and Thomas! They treated her like family and kept us in the loop the whole weekend with updates and photos, which we loved. It was clear Ester was happy and comfortable the entire time. We would absolutely use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for caring, attentive pet sitters”


“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”

“Ivis was a wonderful sitter. She was happy to come pick Hugo up and drop him off and was very flexible with her times and communicative about when she would be arriving. One Hugo was with her we got regular updates and a Hugo had a great time. Highly recommended!”
“I have 2 older dogs and unfortunately one of them had a health emergency during their stay. Fortunately Victoria was on top of things. She communicated quickly and often with me and was able to get my dog to the emergency hospital in time. My baby is home and recuperating nicely. Thank you, Victoria for taking such good care of my babies!”

“Haowen and his girlfriend were wonderful Rovers! I found Haowen after my previously-booked Rover cancelled last minute. Because of the last minute booking, I was very nervous, but Haowen was very attentive and asked a lot of questions up front to understand my dog’s needs and how best to accommodate her. During her stay, I received multiple pictures per day showing her having a wonderful time with Haowen.”

“Rachel took care of Theo for two consecutive weekends when I needed a sitter. She was responsive and pick up/drop off was very easy. Her neighborhood seems good for dogs, with a park very close by. Thank you Rachel!”

“John is so good to our dog. We’ve left her with him multiple times and trust him to take care of her. John sends thorough updates and great pictures. We always look forward to receiving his updates. We will definitely be rebooking with him in the future!”

“Felice was very communicative and took great care of my old dog Charlie. She let us introduce Charlie a couple of days before his stay and remained in communication throughout to let us enjoy our time away without worrying about his wellbeing. Would recommend!”


“Svetlana was able to take Ghost very last minute and was amazing. We are in the middle of moving and apparently Ghost has been more emotionally affected than we realized and was very nervous/anxiouswhen I left him with her. He always has some level of separation anxiety but was really acting out this time. She was very understanding in handling it and kept me fully informed throughout his stay and his behavior. I am thankful to her for looking after him and being so caring in his time of need.”

“Howie runs into Elizabeth and Rodrigo’s home every time I drop him off like it’s his own home!! That’s all you can ask for as a pet parent!! They are so communicative, flexible and kind.”

“Kyra had the best time with Aurora and her sweet pup Madi! I was in Europe for a week and felt so at ease with constant updates and photos while I was away! I can’t recommend Aurora enough and feel confident in using her services again next time I go away!”

“Nola and Damian were so great! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little hesitant about leaving Toki with someone new. However, they made us feel super comfortable and clearly took great care of her during our time away.”

Nolan and Damien were excellent caregivers. Fitzgerald really seemed to have a great time. They communicated effectively throughout the whole process and even flexed so I can figure out a different drop off schedule last minute. They sent pictures and gave updates on how he was doing and Fitzgerald came home happy and healthy. We would absolutely recommend them to anybody looking for a great set of caregivers for their loved ones.

Arlene and Josiah took amazing care of my dog, Zoe! We had a meet and greet before Zoe’s stay and they made sure to ask important questions about Zoe and understand her quirks and habits. They even sent me some written questions about Zoe ahead of the stay. I really appreciated how thoughtful they were. They are clearly huge dog lovers and I felt very comfortable leaving Zoe with them. Also, great communication and lots of updates and photos, which is important to me! I will definitely be asking Arlene and Josiah to care for Zoe again!

Caroline is nothing short of a hero. My dog was having a bit of a tough time after a move and having me leave for work the first week. He was a bit misbehaved for Caroline but she was so patient, kind and sweet. She looked after Kirby like he was one of her own, even though she was dealing with a tough pup! I cannot recommend her enough - she’s an absolute rockstar!
