“Wonderful, caring, considerate, and responsible family boarded our two pomskies. Responsive and communicative - sent pictures and updates. Dogs got walked and played with. Medicine was successfully administered. Generous and flexible- dogs were able to stay a few extra days to accommodate some changes in our plans. Dogs were well taken care of, would definitely book with Matt B again.”
“Ariel was amazing with my 2 pugs 3yo and 5 month old! She gave them individualized care based on their needs they came home happy healthy and well cared for. First time ever leaving my dogs without a family house sitter. Ariel sent updates and was immediately responsive every time I reached out!”
“Nadjeska was so great with our puppy, Georgi! This was the first time leaving him, so was a bit nervous but she kept us up to date with tons of photos and let us know how he was doing! We will definitely bring Georgi back for our next trip!”
“Miranda and her family took exceptional care of my two dogs and treated them like they were a part of their family while my husband and I were away. Miranda sent me pictures and let me know how they were doing periodically which was greatly appreciated. She was also able to accept the booking with short notice and her rates were very affordable. I highly recommend Miranda if you are in need of a dog sitter and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! Thanks Miranda!”
“When my 13 month old dog needed a place to board, I was nervous to leave him. I found Jared on Rover and found him to be responsive to questions and asked thoughtful ones about what my pet was like. We also had a "meet and greet" for myself and my pet. During the stay, Jared gave both written and video updates routinely. I will not hesitate to use Jared to board my dog in the future and am very grateful for the care he gave.”
“Phenomenal family! So wonderful to work with. We had to extend our dog’s stay and it was no problem. I can’t say enough about how wonderful they were to our dog. He was so well taken care of ….”
“We are so grateful for Suzanne’s excellent care! She sent us regular updates and pics of him at play. He received cuddles and came home happy and well!! I highly recommend her and will be using her services again! Thank you again!!!”
“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”
“They were attentive to my dogs needs. They cared for my beagle’s well being. They sent me regular updates of how he was doing and pictures. I do recommend them and will go back again.”
“We were extremely satisfied with Ansley, she sent multiple updates of Lola and I will definitely be rebooking. She made sure our puppy was comfortable first with her and her dog before booking and that really made me super satisfied. I am extremely happy that i booked with her!”

I do all the services provided on this website. I have two cats who love to meet new animals! Message me to learn more and book a meet and greet!

“Stephen was fantastic with our Oscar! Lots of walks and love and even took him out to play on the snow. We recieved pictures everyday and a video. We will definitely ask Oscar to vacation with him next time we go out of town.”
“We were very happy with Sophie’s time with Joe, Kelly, and their sweet young son. We arranged a quick visit ahead of time for Sophie to meet them and to see their home and space. They communicated effectively and sent pics during our vacation. We will definitely use them again, should we need care for Sophie.”
