“Jamie is great! Super easy to communicate with, listened to all concerns we had and wasn't phased by any. She has a lovely calm energy, and Loki felt very at ease with her. They sent pictures and updates and responded quickly to any questions. Definitely recommend!”

“Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!”

“My dogs had a blast at "sleep-away camp" with Nayoma. They were well cared for, had plenty of fun time (with daily photos to prove it,) and were cared for according to our instructions. We will definately use her again.”

“My dog Fawn seemed super happy during her time with Savannah and was well-cared for during her stay. I received regular updates and opportunities for Fawn to play with Savannah's dogs were great for socialization. Looking forward to having Savannah care for Fawn again soon.”

“Deborah & Dick W. Are a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our furry family member Stitch! Right when we first met them, and their son, we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our Stitch! Their daily videos updates brought us laughs and joy during our vacation, watching our dog play with other dogs was a plus and they made time to make sure he got plenty of walks and exercise. When we came home after our trip, our dog Stitch was relaxed and happy. Thank you very much!”

“Fantastic pet sitter! I have a very stubborn and specific elderly dog and after talking with her once, I felt completely confident that he would be well taken care of. I received multiple updates throughout my dog’s stay, and she was even gracious enough to allow me to pick him up after midnight. Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dog’s stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!”


“My dog has never been this relaxed with a sitter. Ryan kept my anxious bulldog and cat calm with extra play and LOADS of snuggles. Zey handled my dog’s meds perfectly. I received photos and detailed updates each day. Zey are patient and great at recognizing animal behaviors. Would book again.”

“Alexia was very attentive to my Gracie and made sure she had a comfortable stay while we were away. Alexia sent pictures and updates on Gracie at least twice a day and followed my (many) instructions perfectly. I wish the weather would have cooperated a bit better so they could have been outside exploring more, but Alexia did make sure they got outside as often as possible. Alexia seems to have a real heart for animals and it shows!”

“Sarah was wonderful from start to finish! She watched my GSD overnight on NYE and was wonderful with communication leading up to and then while he was with her. I received so many pictures and videos of him, it was very appreciated and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her! My dog was whooped when he came home from having fun playing with her dogs. He slept the whole rest of the day and we LOVE a sleepy german shepherd lol”
“I’ve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!”


“Natasha did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, she provided us regular update and photos throughout his stay . Our dog received a lot of love and attention that made her stay a pleasant one . If you dog prefers a home environment vs kennel Natasha is the right one for you Highly recommended .”

About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yard—and 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, I’ve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogs—helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I don’t have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like they’re my own and tailor care to their unique personality—whether that’s active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. I’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if I’m at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
“Nick was great! He was very responsive via the rover app and sent us pictures of our precious senior boy daily. Nick was able to provide our 14yr old dog extra attention because of his old age which made us very comfortable and relaxed while we were away. 10/10 would recommend as a great, reliable dog sitter.”

About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.
“Tasha was absolutely wonderful! Always in communication, flexible and accommodating. She provided love, care and fun for our sweet Pippin so we could focus on health at a very stressful time. We are so grateful!”
