“We’re always grateful for Amanda, the quality time she spends with our boy and care she provides!! We hope to continue working with her as much as we can.”


3. Cassie S.

“I hired Cassie because I was getting put on twelve hour shifts for a week at work which I was already stressed about and then I had to figure out what to do with my dog. Cassie did an amazing job to where I didn’t have to worry about my dog during the day. I would definitely recommend hiring her!”


4. Alexander S.

“Alexander was awesome! My silly, hyper pup warmed up to him well and he made sure my big oy was taken care of without any deviations from our routine. I will be planning on booking Alexander soon!”


5. Kathryn T.

“Kathryn patiently engaged with my cats on their terms, gained their trust, and brought them out of their shells. She followed the weirdly specific feeding instructions my one cat requires perfectly. She gave them love and attention, and sent me photos so I would know they were okay. 5 out of 5 stars!”


6. Kay C.

“Kay is phenomenal! She is responsive, knowledgeable, and provides amazing communication and very funny updates! I never had to worry about the care she gave to my cat, even when I was so far away :) Thank you, Kay!”


7. Alexis M.

“Alexis is great and very patient with my puppy Toast. She always sends me updates/photos of my girl. I would definitely recommend her!”


8. Thomas C.
About: For most of my life, I have owned, loved, boarded, fostered, and/or cared for a broad range of animals, including dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and a handful of reptiles. (I've also spent some time on farms learning husbandry.) From this comes experience with the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, advancements, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a retired(ish) attorney and veteran now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but couldn't be properly described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.


9. Cindy T.

“Cindy's care for my Maltese, Toby, during our Rover booking was absolutely five-star worthy! Not only did she return Toby bathed and smelling fantastic, but she also kept him happy throughout his stay. Her daily updates and photos were a delightful touch, providing peace of mind. Cindy's exceptional service and attention to detail make her the go-to choice for pet owners seeking top-quality care. Highly recommended!”




10. DAMACIA J.

“Our dogs seemed very well cared for! We loved all the pictures, check-ins were always pretty punctual and communication was great. We would love to work with Damacia again!”


11. Cindy B.
“Cindy is a responsible dog lover. She has taken care of my two dogs several times and provided excellent care while I was away. She communicated well and treated my dogs well. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.”




12. Janet S.

“Janet came to my rescue when I found myself having to leave my anxious pup home alone, she was able to end me photo updates of Tsumi when she stopped by, was quick to respond and coordinate with me, and was super proffesional.”


13. Mariah C.

“Mariah is an absolute angel. Sweet, kind, super responsive, so easy to work with. She took immaculate care of my sweet old Bo and handled his age-related issues with grace. She even left a thank you gift - treats and toys for my Bo! It was absolutely unexpected and so endearing. I should be thanking her, and I will. Thank you, Mariah!”


14. Nicole P.

“Nicole is a gem and has been very helpful while checking in on Eli. I absolutely appreciate her service!”


15. Caitlin T.

“Caitlin is a responsible and loving dog owner. She has a beautiful German Shepherd named Ozzy. Caitlin promotes a healthy diet and daily exercise. I'm jealous sometimes because Ozzy goes to amazing parks with beautiful scenery to enjoy the outdoors. She will love and take care of your pet like her own and she loves dog kisses ?”


16. David K.
“I’ve known David for a long time and if there’s anything he’s passionate about it’s dogs! He takes great care of his dog Bentley and he’s grown up taking care of dogs as well. Not to mention, my dog, Peanut, likes him more than me. David is the perfect person for dog walking.”


17. Laura N.
“"I can't say enough good things about Laura! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable, loved, and cared for during my absence. Max had a blast and I can tell from the daily updates and pictures that they had the best time together. Highly recommend!”


18. Sarah L.
“Very good job watching my dogs while on vacation. No issues, and would recommend for anyone trying to get out of town for a couple of days.”


19. Laura B.


“Laura was very thorough during her visits with our pup. She communicated to us and made him a happy boy by playing with him during their time together.”


20. Arin M.


“Arin is fantastic! We had such peace of mind knowing they were dropping in to check on our sick pup while we were both at work, and all of our dogs (even our shy hound) loved them during the meet and greet. They sent multiple photos during the drop in visit and also were so patient and compassionate working with our feral rescue girl. We don’t have an easy pack, but Arin was great with all of them.”
