About: Two years ago, I found my dog Lucki lost during a snow storm as a four month old puppy. After failed attempts of trying to locate his owners we decided to take him in. I had no experience with pets prior to Lucki and he has taught me so much in a short period of time! For two years we have educated ourselves on the best practices for dog owners and implemented them in our daily routine! We frequently watch friends and family members pets during. vacations, or during the day! They have relied on us to walk, feed, and bathe their furry friends and have been very satisfied. I currently work as a full-time freelance photographer which means my schedule is extremely flexible. My sessions usually last no more than 3hrs and rarely take me more than an hour away from home. I tailor my work schedule around my dog's daily routine. My dog Lucki's current feeding routine is breakfast at 8:00am, and dinner at 6:00pm. Lucki also gets three walks daily, two 30-minute walks in the morning and evening and one 15-minute walk in the afternoon. I currently live in an apartment with one dog, we make frequent trips to the fenced in dog park and walking trails in our neighborhood! When leaving the apartment I crate, the dogs and prioritize returning within 2-3 hours. I don't crate overnight or during or during the day unless there is a service provider entering my home.

About: Aside from caring for my own dogs as well as neighbors’ pets my whole life, I was a periodic live-in sitter for an elderly pug that required extra care, including medications and eye drops. I also fostered 2 chiweenie puppies for a few months until they were able to find a forever home. I work from home on my own schedule, and would love some company. Since I don’t have set hours, I have time for several walks throughout the day and into the evening. I have a spacious 1 bedroom apartment nearby several parks. I’m happy to stay in with a sleepy dog or go on long walks with an energetic pup, as I am an active person.

“Roxy was is such good hands with Madison and her very friendly pup Stevie!! She had the very best time. Beautiful backyard to play in, walks and very friendly caretakers. Lots of fun pictures too. We will be returning customers for sure..”

“Guy and his family were incredible with our dog! They immediately welcomed her like family and took the time to ensure that she was comfortable with their own dog, who is a sweetheart. Guy sent us plenty of photos throughout the day, making us feel even more comfortable that she was being well cared for. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Arial takes care of my sweet Perla when I travel. She takes such a good care and gives her love and keep us update of how she is doing. Perla is always excited to see her!”

“Carolynne is a kind and caring person who loves all sorts of animals. She has taken care of my family's dog, who is special needs and nervous, and is very patient and understanding of her unique needs. Like her bio says, she really is a "certified dog lover".”

“I have know Megan for years and year. She watched our sweet staffie Peyton for us when we were on our honeymoon (18yrs ago!). Peyton accidentally broke her nail and Megan was so good about keeping us posted with how she was doing. Megan even ended up having to get her to the vet. I was so relieved she was with Megan. I would trust her with any of my pets!”

“I am super happy with this pet sitter. This is her full time retirement job so my dog receives the care, stimulation, and attention it needs in a safe and comfortable environment. I can’t use conventional daycares since my dog is a foster and there are increased risks of fights and injuries with many dogs and not enough one on one attention. Her yard has a high and fully secured fence and is big enough to run around in for my husky. She owns a dog that is very friendly which helps give my dog the company and exercise he needs from playing tag in the yard. Huskies have high exercise needs and by the end of the day my husky is tired which is great and less work for me to do. My dog is also slightly special needs and inclined towards seizures and she was very accommodating and administered his medicine when I didn’t have time to get to it one morning. She is quick and diligent with responses and kept track of everything through the day so I got a report from rover that told me how many times he peed or pooped that day, as well as videos and pictures. This will be my go-to for daycare and pet sitting needs for as long as I have my foster dog. Would highly recommend if you want an ideal place to leave your dog where you can be assured that it will be safe and receive full attention and care.”

“Jordan and Paul were lovely hosts. They both greeted me and my dog took to them quickly. On the second day she almost jumped out of the car to greet them. The property is nice and the neighborhood is dog friendly with a cool dog park nearby. I would book again and trust them with my pup.”

“For as long as I have known Han she has been one of the most responsible and caring people that I know. Her love of animals comes through with every interaction that she has with them. When visiting my family she helped take care of our two beagles. She always remembered which dog needed what medicine and loved taking them out for walks. She consistently matched their energy, which is no easy task for anyone who knows what beagles are like. She gave them all of the attention that they could ever want and when they saw her walk into the room they immediately began wagging their tails and went to greet her. In short, you couldn't find anyone better to watch and care for your animals.”

“Claire took care of my 11 week old puppy over the course of several days while I was at work. She sent me picture’s constantly and let me know all the puppy updates I needed. My dog Penny was always excited to see her - I highly recommend Claire!”

About: I have had dogs of various breeds and sizes my entire life. I have had a dog business walking and caring for dogs for the past 12 years. I am with the pups full time in my home. They are always supervised and are allowed to sleep in the bedroom with me at night. I have a very dog friendly home environment with a large double gated yard. I treat the pups as if there were my own. I provide dog beds and stainless steel dog bowls and filtered water to drink.

“Chrystal was great. My puppy is still a little nervous around new people, Be she loved Chrystal and her family. Will definitely be using Chrystal again.”

“I have left my anxiety-ridden toy poodle mix, Garcon, with Marissa 4 times and I am so grateful that I did! My dog is very difficult to walk - he's afraid of everything, cannot be pulled, doesn't know how to go up and down stairs, you name it - but Marissa is so patient with him! She has so much kindness and compassion for my little guy, I feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. She's a real natural, and Garcon absolutely loves her. And for an anxious dog with separation issues, that's huge! She'll be a great addition to any dog family.”

“Katherine is so amazing! Our pup was SO happy to see her again for a day stay. It was such a relief to know he would get so much attention, love, and activity! I really appreciate how alert and responsive she is to him. She really picks up on his nuances even after only a few times!”

“Tiffany is great with both dogs and cats. She's very attentive and responsible when it comes to caring for animals. She treats them like her own! The times she has watched my pets, she was very communicative and gave regular updates while pet sitting. She is very reliable; she always came on time and is not afraid to ask questions if there was anything she didn't understand. Highly recommend her!”

“Josie has had Guinea pigs in the past that she loved very much and she currently has a dog. It is obvious that she cares about her dog and takes great care of her and gives her all the love and affection she needs as well. I believe she would be a great pet caretaker.”

“We have been using Cera as our go-to pet sitter for a couple of months now, and we would recommend you do too. Her attention to details allows my husband and I to have some piece of mind when we go out for the weekend. We know that our fur babies are being well taken care of as she follows our instructions to a tee. She is polite and an excellent communicator, we always know know we can get the updates we need in a timely manner. Above all, Cheba and Bear absolutely adore her! We’re sure she’s feeding them something because they almost seem to want to leave with her when we get home! All jokes aside, Cera is an excellent pet sitter and we can’t imagine using anyone else.”
