“We cannot recommend Lori and Frank more highly. This was Daisy’s very first time with a pet sitter, and as a rescue pup she can be a bit nervous in new situations. From the moment we met them, Lori and Frank immediately made her feel comfortable—not just with them, but also with their wonderful adult children. They took exceptional care of Daisy and truly made her part of their family. Thanks to their calm, loving environment, Daisy even gained the confidence to make a new doggy friend with another pet guest during her stay, which meant so much to us. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, and it was clear every step of the way that Daisy was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leaving your dog for the first time is never easy, but Lori and Frank made the entire experience completely stress-free. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Daisy and would trust them again without hesitation.”
“Sophie did a great job with our 1 year old dog. She was a great communicator with consistent updates and pictures throughout the stay which gave us confidence in her wonderful care of our pup!”
“Veronica and Bowie took great care of Kinley while I was away. Lots of photos and updates kept me up to date on how things were going and let me know she was getting cuddles. I really appreciate the clear communications and great care.”
“We can’t sing her praises enough! Emily was so sweet and welcoming to our Javier. He’s a new rescue for us and she is his first sitter. She sent so many updates showing him making himself right at home. When we picked him up she ran one of his toys out to us and he ran to her. THAT’S how at home he was there. She’s fantastic!”
About: Growing up, I have always been around animals. I currently have a dog and two cats of my own that I love unconditionally. I have house sat for families with a variety of pets. From taking care of cats, dogs, geckos, and chinchillas, I have found myself to be very responsible person and loving towards all animals, giving them all the attention they need. Being a very active person, I will always give your pet plenty of exercise.
“Once again, Cody enjoyed his stay. Thanks for taking such good care of him! Wenxin and Cham sent regular updates and made sure our dog felt at home. Appreciate that they take him to the dog park and give him lots of treats and cuddles.”
“Drake had such a wonderful time with Tula. I loved the updates throughout his stay, which gave me comfort knowing he settled in ok and was having a good time. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dog watched, especially since Drake can be reactive to strangers and other dogs. She was very understanding and handled him with a ton of care.”
“Bianca is fantastic! We have a senior dog and Bianca goes above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. After our dog’s first stay with her, we immediately booked our next one with her because of how great she is. Our dog is clearly so much happier staying with Bianca than when we used to take her to the kennel. Highly recommend!”
“Stewart was everything we had hoped for in a sitter. He took excellent care of our dog. His lovely home was safe and comfortable and convenient. Stewart communicated well and even adjusted his schedule to accommodate our timing. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.”
“Our dogs loved it at Alex and Bri's home. The pups are usually anxious when we leave but they made themselves right at home. They loved the new grass put in their large backyard, found their favorite spot on their couch and got plenty of snuggles. We were updated constantly with plenty of pictures which assured us that they were being very well taken care of. We booked our next stay with them before we even picked them up. I highly recommend Alex and Bri!”
“You can tell that Julie and Adam are dog lovers. They made our nervous dog feel comfortable and secure while we were out of town. He got to go on lots of outings and walks and had companionship while they worked from home. We would definitely reach out to them when we need dog care in the future.”
“Derek and Stella were lovely and took such great care of our dog Olive! They gave him lots of activity and love. Additionally, they kept us in the loop with daily updates. Would recommend to a friend!!”
“Mary and her husband Mark were such sweethearts and I felt so good having Enzo in their home. Mary was able to accommodate me on super short notice and was flexible with my drop off and pickup schedule. I got lots of pictures from their various walks and I would 100% use Mary again! Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Ashish! It’s not easy leaving your pet with strangers, and Maya is not the easiest dog to handle , but you were very kind and patient with her. Thanks also for the photos and video, it was so nice seeing her at ease in your home. We will definitely use you again in the future.”
“Tatiana and Renat took such good care of Chewie!! I really appreciated all the updates and pictures and kind words about Chewie - it's so comforting to know your dog is so loved! Thank you so much! ❤️”
“Nadya is an absolute gem!! Trustworthy, knowledgeable, a great communicator, and easy to work with! She kept us updated and sent photos each day. We were able to enjoy our vacation so much thanks to her incredible care :)”

Lori and Frank took such amazing care of Sophie last weekend! She absolutely loves them, and it’s clear they treated her like part of their family. They spoiled her with so much love, attention, and care, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was with them. Sophie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I’m so grateful to have found people I trust so much with my pup. Highly recommend Lori and Frank to anyone looking for caring, dependable dog sitters!
Chris + Aiste took care of my dog Ackee like their own! When we arrived at their house she felt immediately at home and i knew she would be well taken care of. They truly seemed to enjoy and see the best in her and she had so much fun. They sent me many updates of her going on hikes and napping in the sun. Ackee would love to stay with them again!
Stewart was everything we had hoped for in a sitter. He took excellent care of our dog. His lovely home was safe and comfortable and convenient. Stewart communicated well and even adjusted his schedule to accommodate our timing. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.
Jaimi was exceptional! Having just rolled into town from out of state and posting my dogsitting need on Rover on short notice, Jaimi was quick to provide a friendly response as well as to answer my rapid fire questions, offering a meet and greet with she and her cute and well-behaved dog, Ollie. My dog (whom I rarely place into a stranger’s care) has a history of seizures and is need of routine pill administration and careful oversight. Jaimi was super attentive and followed my protocol to a “t”. My dog loved her, Ollie and the family, as did I. I will use her again in an instant and refer her to my friends and family.
Ariane looked after our dog for four nights while we were away, and she was amazing! Our dog immediately took to her and I could tell he would be in the best hands. He looked so comfortable and happy when I picked him up, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She was very communicative and sent daily photos and videos of him. We look forward to using Ariane again soon!
Laura & Joseph were absolutely wonderful. They were incredibly responsive, kept us updated with great photos, and made us feel completely at ease. When we picked Rainbow up, she was calm and relaxed, which honestly never happens when we leave her with others. That alone says so much about the care and attention they gave her. We truly appreciate everything they did and will absolutely be booking with them again!
Kathryn & her beautiful black lab Ogden as well as their home-sanctuary was unbelievable and the care & amount of love and attention that they exhibited for and with our little girl Aka was more than we could of expected. Aka was elated, overjoyed, and in-love from the moment we did a meet-and-greet, and the drop-off and pick-up moments felt like she was truly in heaven. Her black lab Ogden, was one of the most gentle and kind large dogs I have ever seen, he was very polite, welcoming, and was so gentle when asking Aka to play — she has been known to be shy and often struggled to introduce play with other dogs (but NOT with Ogden). I think she has found a 2nd home, a new dog-lover & best friend, and we will be returning more often to hang out & of course use Kathryn’s services in the future when needed! Thank you so much Kathryn! Will be in touch soon! 😊🙏🏽🥰
Julie has been absolutely wonderful taking care of my Italian Greyhound Leo for one whole week. My pup was welcomed into her family by all. Julie kept me regularly updated with photos and and short comments so I didn't have to worry while I was away. I highly recommend her to lovingly care for your pet.
Bianca is fantastic! We have a senior dog and Bianca goes above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. After our dog’s first stay with her, we immediately booked our next one with her because of how great she is. Our dog is clearly so much happier staying with Bianca than when we used to take her to the kennel. Highly recommend!
