About: Life long dog lover who looks forward to befriending your furry loved one. We live in a townhome with a 1 year old golden retriever, Cheddar, and a fenced in backyard. I work a full time job 100% remote from my home so I have the flexibility to tailor my days to whatever your dog needs. I like for my dog to feel like this is her home too. She has her own spaces throughout the house and knows which areas are hers.

“Jennifer was amazing and helped me out last minute when another rover sitter cancelled! She was super responsive and Spike enjoyed spending the day with her and Louis :) I would definitely book again!”



“I can tell Karina / Leticia are dog lovers. Having such a large dog ( great dane) some people can be a little intimidated. Not Karina! She was unphased by his size and safely warmed him up to her dog. I've used her twice and both times my dog has came back happy and tired. Thank you”


“Latoya was soooo sweet and accommodating. This was my first time leaving my new fur baby with anyone for the work day, and from the moment we arrived we both felt right at home. Star did not want to leave! Thank you so much again Latoya, I can't wait for Star to come back and spend time with you all. <3”

“Sincere did so amazing with Phoebe! She was so good communicating from the time we started communicating, through the initial meet and greet, pick up and drop off. Phoebe seemed really happy and sinceres home was so dog friendly. We will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Shayla is fantastic! My dog is a rescue and can be a little unpredictable around other dogs, but Shayla managed him beautifully. She sent great photos of my pup throughout the day, and he obviously had the time of his life while in her care. When we got home, he did some happy zoomies then fell fast asleep. Shayla took great care of him, and I’d use her again in a heartbeat.”

“Julia and Matthes have done a wonderful job caring for my little Lexi. They took the time to really get to know her, and do everything they can to make her feel comfortable and keep her daily routine consistent with how she is cared for at home. Lexi’s tail starts wagging the minute we pull up to the house and at the end of the day I can tell that she has had a good mix of activity, attention, and rest so she comes home acting like the same dog I dropped off (not always the case with doggy daycare!)”


“I had a great experience leaving my newly-adopted rescue for the day! My dog was very comfortable the entire time, and Nicole provided lots of updates! I will definitely be leaving my dog with Nicole again in the future.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs my entire life! Growing up in a family that runs a small pet transportation company, I've always had a house full of furry friends—usually 2 to 8 at a time. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for pets from feeding and grooming to giving medication and even whelping litters right here at home! Currently, I work from home and have regular breaks throughout the day, which means I have plenty of time to care for your dog. I'm available most weekdays for walks, playtime, and more! My daughter is also a huge animal lover and often helps out, giving extra attention and love to your pets. On weekends, we’re usually relaxing at home, so there’s even more time for walks, cuddles, and fun. Whether your pet needs a midday break or weekend adventure, you can count on us to provide the best care with plenty of love! I work from home so my animals have my full attention any time of day. I can walk, play with them and let them out any time and I have no issues. When I’m sitting a dog in my home, I like to make them feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. They usually stay in my room where they can roam freely, and I make sure they have plenty of space to explore. I also have a large, supervised play area in the basement and a gated half acre yard, where they can enjoy toys and have some fun while staying safe. It’s all about giving them freedom to roam, play, and feel right at home!

About: I've taken care of pups since my daughter brought home our first baby, Cookie. We trained her to give her paw, sit, lay, and to kiss at "kiss" command. It's the cutest thing ever. She has been the Queen of the house ever since and then came along, Cinamon which is Cookie's daughter. They are best friends! Cookie had pups a while ago and we held her paw during birth and cared for her babies until they left us to our family members. Cookie is now considered a Senior but I always find ways to accommodate her needs so she can keep being the queen! We take constant walks around our neighborhood and also hang out in the big backyard. I'm currently not working; therefore, I have plenty of times to board and do drop in visits. I leave out occasionally to do grocery shopping, doctor appointments, and/or church services. I do not have a fenced yard but we do have secured long leashes to the soil which makes them feel like they are freely roaming around. We prefer to crate overnight but if your pup cannot do training for special reasons, we can accommodate. We currently have two small pups, a Yorkie and her daughter. They can be timid at first and will bark until they come down and get over the first couple minutes. We can put our babies away in separate rooms if needed be.

Francis W.
“Reina is a good dog and cat handler. She has been handling dogs and cats for about 9 years now and every time she is with a cat or dog they become thr best of buddies and do everything together. I would say that she has more love for dogs than cats but she still loves her cats. In her household she has lots of cats and dogs and they all get along with each other. I have also seen Reina care for a dog that wasn’t hers and she did a excellent job and got good feedback from the owner. But overall Reina would be a good person to pick when wanting your dog or cat watched. So if I were you I would pick her.”


Hugo D.
“If you’re looking for someone who truly knows their stuff when it comes to dogs, Hugo is your go-to! He has an amazing knack for understanding exactly what each dog needs, whether it’s a perfect grooming session, the right care routine, or just a little extra attention. Hugo’s expertise in dog care and grooming goes beyond just the basics—he knows how to keep dogs looking and feeling their absolute best. He’s also great at picking up on the small cues that show when a pup needs something extra, whether that’s a change in routine or a bit more TLC. With Hugo, you can trust that your furry friend is in expert, caring hands every step of the way. I’ve left my dog (Sulpher) four times with him because of how attentive he is with my dog and me. Overall I’m satisfied with the service of care and excellent customer service.”

“The best💛 Anna took care of my dog for a week and exceeded all expectations. Daily photo updates showed my dog enjoying their yard and getting plenty of love. Anna's flexibility and easy communication made the experience smooth. Her family's care and cuddles were evident, and I've already booked another stay. Highly recommended for devoted and reliable pet care!”
