“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”
“Absolutely fantastic. I plan on using Gheraldine whenever I travel. She’s not the closest, but I feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her. Pics, videos, updates - all the good stuff to make me feel at peace. HIGHLY recommend her services.”
About: I’m a reliable and detail-oriented pet sitter and dog walker who understands how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I follow routines carefully, prioritize safety, and provide lots of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can give each pet my full attention, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific care notes. I keep the space clean, provide companionship, playtime, and exercise, and always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.
“Banksy had wonderful time with Gregory. He sent plenty of pictures and updates. He was also so understanding of Banksy's medical needs. We look forward to using him again.”
“Would definitely recommend Kelly! We are so glad we found Kelly and Kyle! They looked after our dog for an extended stay and we were so grateful for all the help and amazing care they gave. Kelly sent lots of updates including fun photos and videos which we loved! The stay included lots of walks and playtime in their yard with their amazing dog Eggie. Would absolutely trust Kelly to look after our dog again.”
“Absolutely amazing and I highly recommend! Valeria and her family are absolutely incredible. I am that protective dog mom that always wants to make sure that my baby is taken care of and I could’ve not asked for a better family than hers to watch my Macimus for the weekend. She was in constant communication with me always updating me with photos and even made me a Mother’s Day card from Mac when I picked him up. She truly goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a lovely and responsible family to take care of your fur baby when you are out of town.”

“They took excellent care of our Blue baby. They sent videos and pics; which really made me at ease; since this was his first time away from home. They treated him like part of the family and he was very comfortable.”
“Pugsley had so much fun! I could tell he was having a really good time! I would definitely recommend Jessica and will definitely be a return customer! Thank you so much!”
“What a great experience with Nicole - it was so good my dog Mocha didn't want to come home :) Fantastic communication from the moment we met and during the stay received many photos and videos showing me how happy Mocha was. She can't wait to come back !”
“Elizabeth is always so accommodating and extremely attentive to our puppy. Leaving our doggie behind is never easy but we always feel relieved knowing he is in such good hands. Always a pleasure ☺️”
“Juan Pablo took excellent care of our two dogs. He sent us regular pics and videos. He provided a positive social environment with his dog and other neighbour’s dogs. It was like one big Chi family. We had a great time on our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. The peace of mind is priceless!”
“Carmel and her husband are excellent! They cared for my senior pup with the armistice care and tended to all his needs. They stayed in touch the whole time and sent lots of pictures:) their doggies are awesome too.. Bugsy might have fallen in love with Layla :-) & I hope to use Carmel and Mark in the future ..”
“🐶 Ace Loved His Stay with Felipe! 🐶 Leaving my dog Ace with Felipe was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the moment we arrived, Felipe’s warmth and professionalism put us both at ease. He took the time to get to know Ace’s personality, routines, and quirks, and it showed—Ace came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Felipe’s home was clean, secure, and full of enrichment. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear Felipe treats every dog like family, and Ace absolutely adored him. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about dogs, Felipe is your guy. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Natalie is AMAZING!!!! My dog didn’t want to go back home. I can tell that my fur-baby was truly loved as her own. Anytime I’m out of town, I will gladly book with Natalie in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for pet sitting my furry son! :)”
“We were extremely satisfied with Camilla. Out dogs were comfortable and pictures was sent over to us everyday. Now our dogs are spoiled, but we love it. 😊”
“Taylor was amazing with my dog Ozzy! She kept me updated, made me feel completely comfortable while I was away, and treated him like her own. Ozzy was so happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would absolutely trust Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Dawson has had an amazing time with Payal over the past several days — I’ve been getting the sweetest updates throughout the day, from adorable videos to cute photos that truly show how well she’s caring for him. On top of that, Payal has been incredibly accommodating with my demanding work schedule, always flexible and easy to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her!”

Sarah was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Milo, during his two-night stay. She was caring, professional, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would not hesitate to leave Milo with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Sarah!
Anita was fantastic! Tully our King Charles cavalier spent nearly two weeks at Anitas place - she was well looked after and was happy in her care - the enclosed back yard was perfect for her along with the walks. We were updated with photos and fab communication. Would highly recommend Anita and we are very grateful.
Our girls spent 10 days with Camilla and her mom while we were out of the country and they were extremely well cared for! It was our second time they stayed with her and they were thrilled to be back. We got many photos of our pups enjoying the spacious backyard and making other doggy friends. Would absolutely have them stay again!
I’m still sitting in my parking spot after picking up Penny because I just had to write this review before driving away… that’s how blown away I am. This was my first time leaving her with Vadim and Anastasia, and they made the whole experience so easy. The photos and videos they sent throughout her stay were constant and genuinely heartwarming. Cuddles, treats, pets, etc. I never once had to wonder how she was doing. Their communication is also exceptional. I travel a lot for work so having found them is a life saver. 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing to leave their pups!
I needed a last minute sitter and found Horacio scrolling through Rover. Upon arrival he immediately showed me his property and the areas for all dogs. His yard is nice and super accommodating for the dogs! He communicates really well and sent a bunch of videos without me asking. Sammy had a good time and seemed to be taken care of well. I would recommend him and book with him again!
Madison was AMAZING!!! She sent updates multiple times a day and had a great time with our pup!! I actually think he's sad now that he's home! He never usually eats the first day he's with someone else, and he ate right away with Madison! She's our first call for a dog sitter going forward! Highly recommend!
Jody is superb. She took terrific care of my beloved Chilli. While I was away, Jody texted me lots of pictures, which was very comforting as my first booking was also Chilli's first time having an overnight stay away from home. Chilli had a great time with her two dogs - they all got along very well and Chilli felt right at home. He was well taken care of and one can see that Jody has a genuine love for dogs. It is imperative that one trusts the person taking care of a pet, and that trust is seamless with Jody, whom I highly recommend.
