“Audrey and Joseph took excellent care of my cavalier King Charles spaniel. They were very patient with her. I will definitely use them again for dog sitting.. Highly recommend.”


“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”



“We couldn't be happier with the care Lioubov provided for our German Shepherd, Gunner, while we were away. From the moment we met her, we knew Gunner was in good hands. Lioubov is professional, attentive, and truly has a way with dogs. Throughout our time away, we appreciated the regular updates, including pictures and videos, that Lioubov sent us. It was clear that Gunner was happy, comfortable, and enjoying his time with her. These updates gave us peace of mind and made our time away much more enjoyable. We will definitely use Lioubov's services again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Lioubov, for taking such great care of Gunner!”


“I was really apprehensive about using a stranger to watch my two yorkies. To make matters worse, I had read horror stories about people leaving their furbabies with someone they found on Rover. I didn’t want to board my babies, so I decided to try a pet sitter instead—and I’m so glad I did! I found Carol through the Rover app and started a conversation with her. We set up a meet and greet the week before we were leaving. Carol was very warm and welcoming, and she immediately connected with my dogs. Her house was immaculate, and she had a nice fenced-in backyard. She even mentioned that she’d still walk them on a leash because they’re small and she didn’t want to take any chances with them slipping through the fence. That showed me how thoughtful and cautious she is. During our visit, my yorkies wandered around her house, sniffing and exploring. Before long, they jumped up on her couch and made themselves right at home! After meeting Carol in person and seeing how comfortable my pups were, I felt so much better and confident they’d be in good hands. Carol watched my babies for five days and four nights. Throughout their stay, she sent me regular updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. Most of the time, they were snuggled up on the couch looking completely relaxed and happy. One day, Carol messaged to let me know that my female wasn’t eating much. I asked if she could get her a hamburger or something I knew she would eat, and I’d reimburse her. Carol offered to make chicken and rice instead, and after getting my okay, she whipped it up—and my pup ate with no problem after that! I really appreciate Carol for taking such wonderful care of my yorkies while we were away. She treated them like her own and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using Carol again for future trips. She was amazing!”


“Tito was very happy after his stay with Lorraine! She and her dog Dixie provided a very welcoming home. Communication was great both setting up the stay and during the stay. Thank you!!”


About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for pets since I was 17, helping friends and family with their cats and dogs. Over time, they’ve come to rely on me for my calm energy, dependability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve owned both cats and dogs myself, so I understand their different needs and quirks. Pets are not just animals. They are family. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for them, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply being there when you can’t be, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet their needs and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I currently offer care in my clients’ homes only. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I always aim to keep their environment calm, clean, and comfortable so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

“Rebel had a good time and enjoyed having other dogs around him. We usually like to see where our dog sleeps, eats, and plays, but were not allowed inside the sitters home. This was a little disappointing to us but we do understand that it may be disruptive to the other dogs. For that reason, we cannot accurately rate the home environment. We truly appreciate Hope taking care of Rebel while we were away.”


“Tatyana has been extremely helpful and caring throughout Percy's stay with her while we were traveling last month. She went above and beyond to accommodate us when we had a challenge of finding a suitable in-home boarding for our Percy. Her prompt and positive response gave us the opportunity to carry on with our travel plan. We received regular updates and pictures of Percy that were very reassuring and heartwarming. We feel so lucky and are very grateful to meet Tatyana. We will definitely stay in touch with her and gladly take Percy back o her for his next boarding stay. Tatyana’s kind and gracious care are unmatched and we highly recommend her. Tatyana is a great asset in our community.”


“What a lovely couple! Leo was in loving and caring hands. Timothy and Denise.go above and beyond in making Leo feel happy and loved. They e CC en let him sleep in their bed. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks for a great experience!”


“Kendal is an amazing dogsitter. It’s always a little nerve wrecking to board your animals but she was always quick to respond to any text messages and provided plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her to any dog parent. You can tell she has a genuine love and compassion towards our four legged fur babies. Thank you so much Kendal! 😊”


“Thanks Carol - Eric had a great time! Appreciate all your communications and sending photos during his stay. Would definitely recommend and we’ll use again next time we’re heading out of town!”



“We have reserved time for our senior collie while we are on vacation this summer; however, we wanted her to stay one night prior to the vacation. She loved Thelma and her Chellie and was very happy when I arrived to bring her home. We will have a lovely vacation knowing that our girl is in good hands.”


“Avri watched my pup for a little over a week while I was on vacation and she was wonderful! Asked important questions about his normal routine, was very accommodating to my dog’s comfort and needs, and kept in contact throughout my vacation updating me with pics! I appreciate all her care while I was away 😊”

“Lori always takes such great care of our pups. She is great at communicating and sending pictures. She definitely treats them like her own. We highly recommend her and will continue using her for dog sitting!”


About: I have experience with dogs,cats reptiles and birds. I have also been known to house the occasional pig,ferret and once a raccoon. But honestly probably wouldn't do a raccoon again. I am available anytime and free all day. I do go out of town and take family trips as often as we can but those are all planned out I have a front and back yard, the from is a courtyard with grass and a very playful neighbor dog if yours want to play and only at your discretion. My back yard is shell and patio. I live in a fenced church area but my yard is not fenced. But your loved one is allowed to be outside and free to run and play. I have carpet free and smoke free home but not kid free. They also love animals and will respect any rules or wishes you may have .

“Could not be any happier with Kodie's stay with Carla. She provides a very welcoming and warm family environment. Loved that she gave daily updates and photos to reassure me he was adjusting ok. Definitely would recommend Carla.”


“Natalya was kind and gentle with my pup.Provided a peaceful environment, sent photos and kept us updated. We were very pleased with the care our fur baby received and would be happy to use her services in the future.”
