“Carl took incredible care of Milo! He came back exhausted. Carl also provided me the most pictures I’ve ever gotten, which I appreciated to see how much fun Milo had on his stay. Would 100% recommend to anyone!”
“Heidi was amazing. This was my first experience using Rivet and she made me and my pup feel so comfortable. She kept me updated and sent plenty of pictures. My dog seemed to love her and all the attention! The location is beautiful with plenty of room to roam. I would definitely recommend her.”
“I was very nervous about the prospect of leaving Naki with anyone but a relative, especially since I haven't used Rover for any of their services. However, once I got to know Patti, my anxiety instantly went away. Her calm and kind demeanor brought me comfort as I knew Naki would be in good hands. Naki was with Patti for a weekend, and she would send me updates every couple of hours with pictures of him doing various activities. I could tell Naki was completely relaxed and comfortable during his stay. Patti genuinely loves animals and I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you for everything, Patti.”
About: I am a certified vet tech with about 15 years experience. Additional years for pet ownership. I have been with animals my whole life and have dedicated the rest of my life to help to take care of them and make them happy. I can administer any type of medication, give subcutaneous fluids, or snuggle. Monday through Thursday I work from 7-5. I can do home visits three times daily on those days. Fridays and weekends are more flexible. My children are active participants in taking care of animals as they have been exposed to different types of pets with different demeaners. They understand to give pets their boundaries when they need their space. I have a fenced in yard for my active greyhound. I also have two cats who have automatic feeders and water fountains. My cats are older ladies so they don’t want to play but they are wonderful snugglers. My greyhound loves attention and his favorite is butt scratches. The foster pets that I would take care of would have their own safe space to be comfortable in my home.
“Elissa was great! She and her dog, Rambo, welcomed Zoe into their home as if she was theirs. Zoe was happy to see me but clearly had bonded with Elissa and Rambo. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again!”
“Tricia was amazing and I cannot thank her enough! We left our dog Evie with her for 4 days and she had a blast! She sent pictures and videos throughout our time away and it definitely helped ease the pain of missing our girl! When we picked her up, she was happy, excited and very well cared for and you could tell she had the best time. Tricia is the best and I will absolutely be leaving my girl with her any time we go away from now on.”
“Jodi and Justine took wonderful care of our 14-year old dog, Daisy, over an extended period of time this summer. Communication was great and we received reports on and photographs of Daisy from Jodi on a regular basis. Jodi reached out to us with concerns and questions on her care. Daisy was happy after her stay with Jodi and Justine. I recommend using Jodi for boarding and dog care - - she is intelligent, concerned, and provides great care.”
“Megan was communicative, friendly and shared photos of my girl while I was away. She enabled my dog to get acclimated before introducing her pets which was great for my timid older girl. My pup was in a great mood when I picked her up. Highly recommend.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Caitlin and the care she provided for Mocha. From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. Caitlin and her family are genuinely kind, warm, and attentive, her children were especially sweet and gentle, which meant so much to me given that Mocha is an older dog. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, including photos and videos, and it was clear that Mocha was not only well cared for but truly happy and loved. That level of communication and reassurance made all the difference. As someone who was initially very hesitant about using an app to find a dog sitter, I feel incredibly lucky to have found Caitlin. She followed every instruction, treated Mocha with such care and compassion, and went above and beyond in every way. I am beyond grateful and would absolutely trust her again. Highly, highly recommend.”
“As always, Sandra and her husband John are so attentive, caring and loving towards Lulu, they treat her as their own. She truly cares about her and provides immaculate care. Lulu requires medication as well as frequent meals and Sandra is always on top of her care!”
“This family provided my dog exceptional care! My dog came back even healthier than before lol. It is so nice that your beloved dog is getting amazing care and having fun while you are away. I would recommend this place to anyone.”
“Best dogsitters ever! I cannot recommend them enough. Such a warm, welcoming, and caring family with a beautiful home and the perfect place for dogs. They took amazing care of our beloved pup—treating her like part of their own family. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such loving hands. Truly grateful for the wonderful care they provided.”
“Aishea was very welcoming and made my cat's first stay away from home easy and worry free. She responded very quickly to messages and sent updates, which I appreciated. I have already booked another stay for my cat.”
“Ali and his family, including their dog, were great! Ali set up a meet and greet for our dogs to get to know each other, which was much appreciated. He asked good questions, was accommodating, and sent photos and a video of my dog in his home. Very happy!”
“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”
“Nicole provided excellent care for our 3 month old puppy. He had a wonderful day full of playtime and snuggles. She also provided lots of pictures throughout the day which we loved!”
“Angie took great care of my Pom Rico. I needed a sitter last minute due to a family emergency. She made the process quick and easy and responded quickly. She followed all of my directions and requirements (senior dog who takes med). Rico had a great time at her place.”

Heidi was amazing, I could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Stormy. Stormy has a tendency to be pretty anxious and shy. Heidi made her feel right at home, and sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the entire stay. I could tell from the photos that Stormy was not at all anxious while away from us, and was having a fantastic time! Heidi was also extremely flexible and accommodating with drop-off and pick-up, fast to reply to any questions we had, and communicated with us consistently while she was there. We recently moved to the area, and I was nervous about finding a new sitter for our girl. I am so grateful that we found Heidi, she will be Stormy’s sitter from now on!
This was our first time leaving our dog, Sylvie, with a sitter, and we were a bit nervous - but we didn’t need to be. Emma kept us updated with just the right amount of communication, and it was clear Sylvie was comfortable and relaxed in her care. We would absolutely book with Emma again.
We are grateful for Jodi’s loving care of our Millie. Millie is a nervous dog and does not like to be left alone. She usually travels with us but we needed to travel for dad’s funeral and it just wouldn’t have worked out for any of us. Jodi was kind and patient with Milllie and us! Millie was clearly comfortable with Jodi. It was such a relief to have a safe place for her. Jodi communicated often which was nice as well. We are grateful and excited to have a safe option for Millie.
Evan took great care of Scout. Great communication throughout and Evan went above and beyond in caring for our boy. We were sent pictures and updates regularly. Scout was given so much love, exercise and care. Would def rebook. We are grateful that our pup was so loved while we were away.
