“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was a child. I’ve owned an Airedale terrier, a pug, a Russian terrier, and my family currently has a Japanese spitz. I’ve got all sorts of experience - I have adopted a doggie from a shelter before, and I’ve also raised my two pups from 3 months old until they passed a few months ago at ages 14 and 16. I’ve boarded dogs - I looked after a friend’s pug for a week, a family friend’s elderly golden retriever, and fostered a stray my sister and I rescued before someone adopted her. I’ve taken road trips with multiple pets, and flown across the country with 3 of my dogs, I’ve taken them to all sorts of vet appointments, and been with them through all stages of their lives. I’m on this platform looking for company to heal from losing my furry friends, because being around dogs brings me peace and joy. I am a performing artist and I travel a lot for concerts, so having my own pet is unfortunately not feasible at the moment, hence I decided that taking care of someone else’s furry babies while I’m home between performances is the second best thing:) You can rest assured that I’ll take great pleasure in taking care of them and having them in my home. I work from home during the day and I am home from evening until morning, too. I do however step out for errands and appointments. Your dog will be with me most of the time while staying in my home, walked 2-3 times and fed on schedule, but should be comfortable being on its own for 2-3 hours max, if I have things to do. If your doggie has severe separation anxiety and is unable to be alone at all, I can accommodate that with enough notice and for 2x my normal nightly rate. I’ve always let my dogs run free around the house and make a safe space for them where they liked, but I did crate my rescue doggie when he first arrived to slowly acclimate him to the new place. Whatever you prefer for your dog is fine by me and I’m happy to accommodate. I don’t have a yard, but I have plenty of green areas nearby where I’d walk your furry pal. I keep my dogs on leash at all times. I like training them and playing with them to give them some mental stimulation, but if they prefer to chill and not be bothered I’m cool with that as well

“Sasha and her team are Amazing! I booked my pup because my hubby and I were going out of town. We didn't expect the trip to take as long as it did. Sasha and team were super accommodating and we were able to rebook our pup for an overnight stay. You guys are so awesome and my husband and I really appreciate the amazing job you do taking care of Bentley ❤”

About: Hello, I’m Carrie and I love dogs! I have two dogs right now - Mattie (14) and Mavis (4) - and I’ve had at least one my entire life. I grew up around animals and love being with them and taking care of them. I first used Rover for a 2-week boarding for my dogs a few years ago and it was such a wonderful experience I thought I’d open my home for dog daycare and boarding, too. My dogs have had less than great experiences in dog boarding facilities and so I understand the desire to have a family home environment for your dog while you are away! I would welcome your dog for daycare or boarding at my home where I have both a fenced yard and a wooded area with a stream for daily walks. I take my dogs out at least three times a day. The home is a single family home with two levels and lots of space. I work primarily from home and on the days when I’m at the office, my husband works from home. I would take care of your pup on the same scheduled as my dogs unless you request a specific schedule. My dogs have the roam of the home and I have a fenced in yard and an outdoor space into the woods for leashed walks. I welcome you to bring your dog with whatever would make the dog comfortable during the stay and have plenty of space for crates, beds, dishes, etc.

“Daisy enjoyed her 5-hour stay with Rae yesterday. They went for two walks together, which Daisy loved. Rae was very conscientious and asked questions to be sure that Daisy would be comfortable and happy during her stay. I recommend Rae if you are looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”

“Andy is so responsive and easy to book. He exudes kindness and clearly loves dogs. My puppy went right to him and was happy to return again the next day. Coordinating pick up and drop off was a breeze and he sent lots of photos and updates. It’s clear why he has so many great reviews. I look forward to using him again soon!”

“Jennifer was a wonderful sitter. She was responsive and provided a safe space for our pup. Thank you for the photos and taking such great care of JoJo!”

“Matias took such good care of my pup. He communicated very well, sending photos, and played with Carter. Matias is kind and gentle and has a lot of experience caring for dogs. I highly recommend him and will rebook with him.”

“Diana did an excellent job watching my dog. She asked about his likes and dislikes beforehand and was good at communicating drop-off and pick-up. She kept him entertained throughout the day with games of fetch and walks. I would definitely have her watch my dog again.”

Ashley R.

“Grette was super with our little pup for Doggy Day Care -- she knows just what your pup needs and she took our very active 6 month old pup for a long walk so he was really chill when he came home.”

“Brianne and her husband took great care of Birdie! We dropped her off for daycare on Saturday. They were extremely responsive and ensured a smooth transition for both drop off and pick up. Birdie came home happy and exhausted! They definitely made sure she was exercised and cared for.”

“Lee took excellent care of our dog. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced. We appreciated the regular updates and our dog was very happy at the end of the day. Would highly recommend and use her services again.”

“Jie is our new go to for doggy day care, for my 15 week old puppy. She sent updates throughout the day, and I felt like he was very safe and happy to be in her home.”

Melissa B.

“Robin and her sons took great care of our Anne Shirley and sent us updates throughout the day! It was comforting to know that she had multiple people to hang out with. We would definitely use them again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and watch their dogs. I have done professional dog walking and dog sitting for 3 years now. Im currently working from home so I have plenty of time to dog walk or dog sit. I am available any day at all times. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have my dog play with yours.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.

“Shizuka was absolutely wonderful with Mayo! It was a gloomy, rainy day, and Shizuka went above and beyond to make sure he was mentally stimulated and happy. Instead of just sitting around, she engaged him with indoor dog puzzles and interactive games to burn off his energy. Mayo came home tired and content, which is the best sign of a great day! If you're looking for a sitter who is attentive, creative, and truly cares about your pup's well-being, I highly recommend Shizuka. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
