“We would 1000000% recommend JD! There's a reason he has so many 5 star reviews! We normally never travel because we get very anxious about trusting someone with our dogs. However, we had a trip we couldn't miss so we had to figure something out. We found JD on here and after reading all his reviews, we decided he would be the best choice and we were right! He watched our boys for a whole week and sent tons of photos every single day. We had a peace of mind the entire time and would absolutely rebook again without hesitation! Embarrassingly on my end, I booked the wrong date for the pick up day but JD handled it amazingly and watched our boys for an extra day. He was very kind about it and really made everything so stress free! If you're debating on who to hire, do yourself a favor and go with JD! :)”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were a little nervous about leaving our dog Jack with someone new—but Stasha was amazing! She went above and beyond, treating Jack with so much kindness and patience, especially since he’s an older pup. She took him on walks, gave him plenty of time to relax and soak up the sun, and communicated with us every step of the way. We really appreciated her transparency and how she always checked in before trying new activities with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience!”
“Debra did a great job of making us and our dog, Skye, feel welcome. She sent us daily updates with pictures of Skye with her family or out taking walks. She was a last minute provider for us as our usual care person was not available for the dates we needed. She only keeps one guest dog at a time. Skye and her dog, Ginger, got along well.”
“Tracey sent photos of Dusty during the stay, kept us informed. Dusty had a blast apparently, and enjoyed playing with her dog and them all weekend. And has napped a bunch since coming home. Usually only does that when has been active.”
“Valary is great. She has tons of land, for the dogs to run and walk in, on or off leash. Her house was ideal for my dogs stay. He had a large yard to stay in during the day, then a living room for the night. He looked like he had a huge smile on his face the entire time, and was super tired afterwards - which meant he got lots of exercise - from running wild and jumping in lakes.”
“Julie was so sweet and attentive to Charlie and making sure he felt right at home! Her two dogs are very sweet and they all got along perfectly. Julie took Charlie for multiple long walks to help him exercise and helped him be comfortable at night. She has a very spacious home and backyard where he enjoyed to play. She sent me updates woth pictures and videos that showed me he was having a great time. Already booking our next visit!”
“We left our dogs Rocky and Daisy with Wendy who we met beforehand and Wendy was so kind and you can tell she loves animals that we felt comfortable with leaving our fur babies with her while on a 3 day outing. Wendy sent me pictures and kept me updated with Rocky and Daisy which I really appreciated. We will definitely ask Wendy to watch them again!!!”

About: I have been taking care of pets for over six years. I have cared for fish, cats, and dogs. I have a big dog myself so large dogs do not scare me. I am great with animals and am more than willing to do house sitting, day time check ins, walking, bathing, etc.! I am about to graduate from school so I will be home all the time and will be able to stop by for house visits or to hang out with pets all day. Though for things like walking dogs would prefer to do that in the morning in order to beat the heat! I have a large fenced in yard with one dog to keep others company. My dog is crate trained and is non aggressive. In the house there is no chemicals or other harmful substances that pets could access. Additionally most cabinets and such are baby proofed so cats or other small pets would not be able to get in or trapped.
“WOW!! Jennifer was amazing with our Chocolate Lab and Frenchie. Willow and Piglet loved being with her family and the pictures we received showed playtime, and how the pups were tucked into doggy beds and covered with a warm blanket. Jennifer's family were just as amazing and our pups loved it there. It is always an anxious moment trying to find someone to take care of your loved ones, but Jennifer and her lovely family take the worry out of the choice. I am so pleased and feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her again! I highly, highly recommend!!! I will rebook again!”
“Petra and her family treated my two Labs as if they were part of the family for the five days of their stay. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were in loving care with frequent pic and video updates.”
“My husky, Koda, had a fantastic time with Valentina & Stephen and their dog Luke. He ran and played in their gigantic, beautiful yard, got lots of attention and cuddles and was taken to the park and restaurants with them. They took excellent care of Koda I can't recommend Val and Stephen more highly. I've already booked another stay for Koda!”
“Brian and his family took great care of my pup. They were very responsive, followed his schedule, and made sure to ask questions to ensure his comfort. I can tell they truly cared for my pup and had the best intentions making sure my boy felt right at home. Highly recommend booking and I will definitely be back!”
“Extremely happy with our booking with Anusha. Great communication with video and text updates throughout the days Buddy stayed. Felt very comfortable leaving him in Anusha’s care. I would recommend Anusha to anyone and would use her again🤓”
“Christine and Jeffrey took such good care of our pup! They were very communicative and sent us lots of updates and pictures/videos. We couldn’t be happier with the care Douglas received and will definitely reach back out to them again when we need a sitter!”
“Jen and her family were very kind and sweet enough to watch my two cats over the weekend. I appreciate their patience with them as they get a little shy and skiddish meeting new people or being in a new place. She sent me updates and photos of the two of them. Opie (my boy) definitely was more of the explorer and curious one around the house. Mew (my girl) was far more shy, so I appreciate Jen and her family giving her space to feel comfortable. She had a designated room for them but also allowed them to explore the house which they do love to be able to climb around. I would definitely come back to have them watch the cats! Thank you to all of you!”

We used Deepika for the weekend and couldn't be happier. Our dogs were safe, happy, and well-cared for. We especially appreciated the (frequent photo updates and communication). It was clear our doggies felt right at home. We will definitely be using Deepika again and highly recommend her services!
I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Yolanda for taking such amazing care of my dog while I was away! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in great hands. Yolanda was not only professional and reliable but also incredibly kind, patient, and loving with my dog. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and total peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s never easy leaving your pet behind, but Yolanda made it feel effortless. I came home to a calm, happy dog—and that says it all. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals, I can't recommend Yolanda enough!
