1. Tich M.

“Tich was excellent! She took excellent care of my two Boston terriers for 2 weeks. They were walked multiple times a day and received lots of love and attention. I would definitely recommend Tich for animal sitting/boarding. She is a wonderful human and I felt full confidence from her that my pets were being cared for properly while I was out of Country on a business trip.”

14. Carmel T.

“If I could give Carmel more than 5 stars, I would! This was my first time leaving my dog with Rover as my normal dog sitter cancelled last minute before my vacation. I frantically booked Carmel (based on reviews) and I will be using Carmel from here on out for dog sitting/dog boarding. She was so nice in allowing a meet and greet prior to booking. This meeting allowed me to feel a huge sense of relief in knowing my dog would be cared for and absolutely spoiled! She was so nice and sweet and sent several pictures and updates all throughout the day. Her house and backyard is truly a dogs paradise. She walked my dog several times a day and I truly didn’t think my dog would ever want to leave. My flight back home was cancelled and she was so accommodating and helpful by allowing me to pick up my dog a day later than originally planned for. She truly cares and wants the best for your fur baby. I can’t say enough good things about her. I would highly recommend her!”


15. Catherine Z.

“Catherine is the BEST caregiver of our sweet dog Ridley! She truly goes out of her way to communicate and provide videos, pictures and updates.

I feel that we have not only met the best sitter for our dog, but we have made a new friend! Awesome!”

“The best, The best, The best. She is patient, her communication is never delayed. I am very very pleased with her services. My dog has anxiety and she does a wonderful job making him at home.”


17. Antonio R.

“Antonio was amazing!! Friendly, easy to communicate with and understands dogs. He treated my fur baby like his own immediately and always sent us pics and updates. We had a family emergency and he was able to accommodate us without any issues and we were reassured in a stressful situation. Definitely will call on him again to help out with our baby!”


18. Lydia C.

“I picked up my pair of dogs from Lydia’s house and picked up the happiest of pups 🥰 From the second we did the meet & greet, it was very clear the energy in Lydia’s home is incredible kind, loving & warm. I knew I was going to book her right away. Her home is VERY pet friendly & Lydia’s families love for pets is very apparent. I do not have my own yard so my dogs were SPOILED with being able to run around & play catch all day. Lydia sent tons of updates & pictures. At the time booked, Lydia was hosting other pets & my dogs were in HEAVEN. It was a never ending play date 😂 When I picked up my dogs it was very clear that they were taken great care of. Will most definitely book for some fun in the sun day-cares & all of my overnight trips going forward. If you’re hesitant to try out the pet sitting thing, Lydia will make you & your fur-kids feel more than comfortable. Your animals are in great hands! Thank you again Lydia!”


19. Raquel B.

“Raquel was fantastic. She sent lots of videos and pictures and I could tell Palmer was having a great time playing with her dog as well. Raquel even picked up a prescription for my dog and made homemade treats and an essential oil for her skin issues. Palmer had a great time and I’ll definitely reach out again the next time we need a sitter.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was a child. I understand social and behavioral reactions in dogs. I have potty trained puppies. I have taught basic commands like sit, paw and lay down. I also have an 8 year old black lab who is full of energy. I grew up with several breeds of dogs. I am willing to take your fury friend to and from pet appointments if needed. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I also have an 8 year old black lab named Hampton who is full of energy. I take him on 5-6 walks a day I make sure all animals are well taken care of and are safe. In the summer time when it is extremely hot outside, I make sure all walks are in shaded areas and all the fury friends paws are protected. I have a dog of my own, Hampton, who is an American black lab. He is super friendly and loves all animals.
