“I'm a repeat customer because she's just wonderful with our dog and always take the time to let us know how our dog was doing on a daily basis for 8 days. Thank you Cathy! We'll definitely see you soon again. Take Care.”


“This was our 3rd time booking Bingo with Ann & her family. Ann sends pictures of Bingo from time to time. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that our pet is in a good place while we are away.”


“Christina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while watching Kyrie! She sent tons of pictures, kept us updated throughout the day, and made us feel completely at ease the whole time. We trusted her right away, and she really came through for us when our flights were delayed and we needed a last-minute extension. Communication was clear, quick, and super helpful. We’d ask her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much, Christina!”


“Lorena was so patient and kind with our senior dog. She sent lots of pictures and videos. I felt like our dog was on a vacation, they spent time outside, on walks and at the dog park. Super communicative! Would highly recommend to others.”



“I really liked dealing with Peiyi and her husband. The whole time they kept us informed with pics and text updates about our dogs stay with them. We would definitely be going back and we recommend them.”


About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—rambunctious puppies, playful adults, and sweet seniors. I previously owned my own dog and now work closely with domestic and wild animals at an animal shelter, where I’ve developed the ability to build trust with new pets quickly. My home is currently pet-free, so I’d be thrilled to host your dog and give them my full attention and affection. Whether your pup needs structured care, medication, or just extra belly rubs, I bring patience, intuition, and genuine love to every visit. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. I was recently laid off and now work limited hours outside of the house, so I spend most of my time at home. This makes pet care a perfect fit for my lifestyle—I truly enjoy the companionship and having a pet around keeps my routine joyful and active. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax and feel at ease. My home includes central air conditioning and heat to keep pets comfortable and safe during peak seasons, and there’s an elevator available for animals with mobility issues. I take time to build trust with each pet, follow their routines closely, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and care I’d give my own.

“Paola had my baby for 10 days and was completely amazing! She sent me pics and videos everyday while making sure Shea was taken care of with the upmost care and affection. Definitely will be using her again, she made me feel so at ease knowing my baby was in great hands !”


“Priscilla was an amazing sitter. She sent me various updates throughout our dog Dukes stay and was extremely professional and sweet! We will definitely reach out for future stays!!”


“We are so happy that we found Faith last minute to take care of our dog Leo last minute. She was responsive and so very caring. We can’t thank her enough”


About: My dogs are my babies. I love them with all my heart. I know that you feel the same way about your dog, and I will treat them with the love and respect they deserve. I work from home, so your dog will never be without a playmate or a supervisor. My older dog, Charlie, has a lot of medical problems, so I am comfortable monitoring symptoms and giving pills. My younger dog, Otis, has lots of energy and needs both mental and physical stimulation to stay happy, so I'm used to dealing with lots of craziness at home. Dogs are allowed on the furniture at my house, and both of my dogs enjoy being around other dogs, so it's basically a party at my house! Your pup will be ready for pick up tired, happy, and safe. Both of my dogs are rescues, which means I am familiar with watching and understanding body language, giving dogs space when they need it, and helping dogs come out of their shells. I am a dog person through and through! I'd love to take care of your dog. I work from home with a large, fenced backyard so the dogs are allowed to go inside and outside as often as they please. I am able to step away from work frequently to play with the dogs in the backyard or snuggle with pups during meetings. I have a fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood. I also use Rover and I love getting photos and videos of my dogs, so I will make sure to do the same for you!

“Sunny is the best caregiver. Attends to all details and takes notes for any quirks and preferences. I feel as close to my dog as when I am at home because she constantly gives updates with details and pictures/videos.”


“Would definitely book again, great with our dog! Very adaptable when our plans changed last minute.”


“Having a person caring for me is a blessing, I miss my baby so much, but knowing that Lauryn is caring for me right is valuable for me, thank you for your loving care to my baby Rocko.”



“Kahlil and his wife provided exceptional care for our Coco while we were away on vacation. They maintained open communication, keeping us updated & informed with photos & videos on our dog’s well-being throughout our trip. We're very thankful for their professionalism and would highly recommend their services to others. We would definitely utilize their services again.”


“Kun was a beyond amazing sitter from start to finish! Taj had such a great time there, through boarding, that I cannot wait to bring him again! He updated me with numerous photos and videos with them spending a fantastic time together! Including my dog with his Maltese as well! Would definitely recommend if you have a smaller pet!”


“We used Tere over the weekend and we could not be happier about how she cared for our dog. In fact, she proved to be a loving, attentive and caring lady. She communicated with me multiple times during the boarding period and at pick up I could tell my dog had a great time in her house. Tere is sweet and on point. We will definitely hire her again.”


“I could genuinely feel that Chris and his wife are true dog lovers through my interactions with them. They frequently updated me with how my baby was doing and was able to take one of the best pictures of her while she was happily staying with them. Highly recommended!”


“This was my first time using Rover, and, I am now a fan! Dana and her family were wonderful. I got videos, pictures, and updates while my dog, Doxie, was at her house. Doxie is very sweet, but, she is very powerful. That wasn't a problem. My dog got lots of outside time, and, she and Dana's dog became fast friends. I would have Dana watch Doxie again in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking care of our girl!”


“We had a great experience with Hope. This was the first time we'd left our puppy Phoebe with people we didn't know, so we were apprehensive. But Hope was warm and welcoming right away, and it was immediately obvious how much she loves dogs. Our 6-m.o. puppy felt right at home at Hope's house, which has a huge fenced in back yard that she could run around in. Throughout our pup's stay, Hope updated us about what was going on and she sent lots of photos. It gave us peace of mind to see Phoebe being cuddled, napping, running around, etc. Our pup was well-cared for while we were away and we will definitely use Hope again. Phoebe misses her!”

Mia V.
“Mia is hands down the best dog walker and pet sitter we’ve ever had! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like her own. She’s reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind — and our pets adore her! She takes our dog on long, enriching walks and always pays attention to his energy levels and behavior. When we’re away, we can trust her 100% with our home and our pets. Our usually shy cat warmed up to Mia almost immediately, which says a lot about her gentle and calm nature. We always get daily updates, photos, and notes that make us feel completely at ease while we’re gone. Mia consistently goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible, and has a true passion for animals, Mia is it. We’re so lucky to have found her!”
