“Caroline is incredible. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat and apartment. She is so dedicated and communicates very well. Our cat immediately loved her. I would give her 6 stars if I could.”


“Felix was awesome! He goes above and beyond my expectations without even the need to communicate anything with him. He got so friendly with my Bella, they played all the time and he was amazing at sending photos and videos so I knew how my kitty was doing. I found the place looking better than when I left and Bella looks happy and well fed and looks like she had a great time. I am so grateful for Felix”


“Alanna was wonderful with my 11-week old puppy. She sent me pictures throughout the day and kept me informed on how he was doing. Also, she worked on reinforcing his trainer which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely book again with Alanna!”


“Joy was awesome! I contacted her last minute she was able to do a meet and greet with and fur baby the same day. She took great care of Denali and sent me frequent updates with pics. Will book with Joy again”


“Alannah did a wonderful job taking care of my 4 month old Bernese Mountain dog puppy Theo. I was nervous to leave him for the first time, but Alannah calmed my anxiety with regular updates and photos. She stayed at my place and when I returned, it was as very clean and tidy when I returned. Theo seemed very happy with Alannah and was not overly excited to see me when I returned so I take it he had a good time:) I would recommend Alannah and will use her service again in the future.”

“Jeffrey was fantastic with our 3 dogs! He cared for them like they were his own — including a senior who needs daily medication and another shy/nervous pup. Before the stay, he took the time to meetup to ensure the dogs were comfortable with him—especially our very nervous one. That extra effort really made a difference. During the stay, Jeffrey kept us updated with regular messages and photos. In every single one, the dogs looked relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. By the end of the stay, our shy dog had totally come around—she and Jeffrey really clicked, and it was so sweet to see how much she trusted him. We’ll definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets. I'm patient, gentle, and pay close attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, slow walks for older pups, or active playtime for energetic dogs, I adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m currently very flexible, especially on evenings and weekends. Whether it's a quick check-in, feeding, or playtime I’ll make sure your pet gets consistent, loving care.

About: I've grown up with 6 labs, 2 cats, numerous fish, hamsters, and other assorted animals. I love being around dogs the most and treat everyone's pet as I would my own. Walks, play-time, dog-sitting, or check-ins - whatever you need, I'm your guy! I work remote 2 days a week and I'm home (alone) every day starting around 6pm. Taking care of your pets would help me fill my time with some good company! I can't house any pets at my residence, but I'll respect any and all guidelines for pet care at your home, the park, or any walk we go on.

“We recently had the pleasure of having Rocio take care of our beloved Daisee. I am a very nervous dog mom and left pages of instructions! Rocio followed every single one, and in addition, sent daily pics and updates. She quickly responded to my text messages, as well. When we got home, not only was Daisee in great spirits, well groomed, and well cared for, but our house looked like no one had even stayed here. Rocio is very respectful and kind. I highly recommend her and will use her again in the future.”


“Bryan was amazing. Definitely will recommend and use again. My dog is full of energy and he was able to manage and care for him accordingly. 5 starts across the board”


“Marshall was very nice, prompt, and took a sincere interest in our older German Shepherd. He was kind and updated us daily with a photo of Max and took him on walks each day. He left our house in good shape and was a pleasure to have help us out with our dog while we were at a business conference. Would not hesitate to hire him again.”


“Emonne is amazing! She was responsive, friendly, and I know my dog Stella enjoyed having her check in and walk her! I would highly recommend Emonne and will be calling her again for our next Rover stay.”


“Once again, we left town for a whole week, and when we came back Mario returned our dog and our house to us in better shape than we left them. A real pro. Thanks Mario!”


About: My long history of taking care of dogs started with my wonderful and energetic Airedale terrier in my teens and twenties, and continues as a dedicated uncle to my sister’s 4 dogs (yes 4!). I am the guy my friends consistently ask to pet sit when they leave town. I am currently working part time nearby and not planning much summer travel, so I’ll have plenty of time for quality visits with your dogs! Your pets and your home environment are important to you. I will exercise the utmost care with both and make sure you feel comfort around entrusting me with either or both.
