Top rated Harbor House doggy day care sitters
“I booked Jennifer on short notice, and she was amazing from start to finish. Communication was clear, timely, and reassuring which was needed for my peace of mind as I've never used a sitter. I have two dogs with very different needs: one thrives on human attention, while the other is super playful and energetic. Jennifer and her sweet dog, Hudson managed to meet both of their needs beautifully! She made sure one got all the cuddles and calm, while the other had a blast playing and staying active. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Leah is amazing! Just started bringing Bella for daycare and she loves it! Comes home nice and tired and well cared for. I get pictures of Bella during her visit and can see she is having a good time. Bella can't wait until her next visit!”
“Janet did such a great job with my 4month old goldendoodle for doggy daycare. I was in the area visiting family and she was able to accommodate on short notice and very prompt in responding. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and how my puppy was doing. After picking my pup up I noticed she was much more comfortable leash walking than she was prior and could tell she was able to get some energy out throughout the day. Would highly recommend Janet in watching after your dog!”
“My dog Bell thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Lizbeth!! We had a last min need for doggy daycare & luckily Lizbeth was able to help us & put all my nerves at ease, sent pics & videos. She’s amazing & would definitely use her again!”
“Ativa was really kind to get me scheduled on VERY short notice. My puppy (who is usually shy) seemed to like her and got along well with her puppy. She was also kind enough to send me a photo of my sleepy puppy when I asked how he was doing midday. I’ll definitely keep her on my list of sitters to rebook. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover with nearly 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From the playful energy of puppies to the calm companionship of senior dogs, I’ve loved them all. Over the years, I’ve been the proud parent of many amazing pups — including Shuri, my curious and affectionate Beagle; Tobey, my gentle Golden Retriever with a heart of gold; Atala, a strong and loyal Pitbull who taught me so much about patience and trust; and Shadow, my fluffy and joyful Samoyed who never failed to make people smile. Each one of them holds a special place in my heart and shaped the kind of care I now offer to others’ furry companions. With me, your dog gets more than just a walk — they get reliable, loving, and personalized care. I treat every dog like family, because to me, they are. I’d love to meet your pup and give them the same care I’ve given my own for decades! I currently offer early morning walks, perfect for busy pet parents who want their dog to start the day happy and active. This schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care without conflicting with my other responsibilities, so you can count on me to show up bright and early every day. Every pet is unique, and I always take the time to understand their individual personality, needs, and routine. I care for pets the same way I’ve cared for my own for nearly 30 years — with attentiveness, respect, and genuine affection.
About: Hi!! I’m Lyza and I love animals! I grew up with large dogs and have over a dozen year’s experience with Huskies, Dalmatians, Dobermans, and more! I have two young children that are amazing with animals and have large dogs at their dad’s house. I am happy to help you with your pet's needs during the day either at my home or yours, or walk your pets for you. I am looking forward to playing with your fur babies! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I can come and take your dog for a walk anytime during the day. Half of the time, I have custody of my two young children (4 and 5). My availability usually only pertains to days I do not have kids, but if your pet is ok with children I have full availability. I maintain a well kept and clean home, and I would treat your space the same way. I always check the food/water before I leave if your pet is allowed food at all times. I am attentive and flexible and am happy to follow any routine that is needed for your babies.
About: My family has had dogs since I was 10 years old. I was also previously a nanny to a family who had dogs, so I took care of them daily, and frequently sat for them when the family was away, as well as watched many family members dogs. Being a dog mom myself, I realize how important it is to have your dog be taken care of and treated like one of the family, and to be given all of the love you would give them yourself! I am a stay at home mom, with both of my kids in school during the day, so I have a lot of time to give your doggy lots of attention! We have a huge fenced in yard that is bigger than a lot of dog parks, so your dog will have all the space they need to run laps (and two boys who will happily accompany them in doing so!). With me being home during the day, your dog will have the freedom to come in and out of the house at their own leisure! Plus I live in a great neighborhood that is perfect for multiple walks a day. I am happy to meet up before your dogs stay so you can see the space! Plus, since I already have a dog, my house is very dog-friendly (ie we keep doors shut so they can’t get into the bathroom, & we keep all shoes and other tempting chewy objects out of reach!) & we have a gate up so the dogs can’t wander about upstairs to get into trouble or out the front door! Our dog is a spoiled princess (she believes she is just one of us humans!) & has plenty of toys and treats & beds to share! After we got our dog and started needing sitters for her when we would go away, I realized how hard it was to find someone with a house/yard where my dog could feel comfortable/at home, and so I wanted to be able to provide that space for other pet owners! (As well as the added fact that if you have a social dog, they would have their own little friend to play with!)
About: My wife and I grew up with family dogs which drove both of us to adopt our own dogs over a decade ago. We currently have a 12 year old dog who loves everything and everybody. My wife and I are active, go on a ton of walks, and enjoy nature (and of course Sadie comes with)! We have dog sat friends dogs multiple times and love the company! My wife and I work from home and have plenty of space for a dog who wants their own space, or want to lay under our desks. We go on walks multiple times per day around the neighborhood and take our dog on nature walks on the weekend! We live in a house in a very walkable neighborhood. There is a fenced backyard, go on multiple walks per day, and have a 12 year old puppy to keep your dog company!
About: My name is Shannon and working with dogs is my passion! I’m a trainer and have two dogs (German Shepherd and German Shorthaired Pointer). I do require that all my boarding dogs are crate trained for their protection as well as up to date on all regular vaccinations. As I work from home, I’m normally not gone from the house for more than an hour or so at a time on a normal day. We do require dogs to be crate trained as they are crated overnight and when not supervised. I do keep client dogs mostly separate from other dogs until I get a feel for their play style and needs before they interact with other dogs (including my own personal dogs who are very dog friendly). I work from home so we are always home to care for an additional resident! We also have a young toddler who loves having dogs around the house to watch. Our regulars are already her favorites! Someone is always around to make sure the pups are cared for while they stay with us. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first and we will always make decisions in their best interest while communicating with you daily of any occurrences! We send photos on each drop-in and one photo per day during boarding. While we are available for you, we aren’t overly attached to our work phones - so don’t worry if we don’t respond throughout the day to multiple messages… our time is spent chasing the dogs and the toddler around!
“Our puppy Autumn had a wonderful time playing with new dog friends and Jeri Gail. Looking forward to having Autumn stay for a weekend when my husband and I will be out of town.”
“Ricky came home beat and happy. He did well. And I knew when I left him he was in good hands. You could feel Jillian and michaels vibe. Good people. Definitely will book with them again.”
About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years, and I absolutely love it! Since I work from home, your pup will get plenty of attention, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. My own dog has been my sidekick for the past five years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have a safe, loving environment. With a pet-friendly home and a fenced-in backyard, your furry friend will have plenty of space to play, relax, and feel right at home while they're here! Since I work from home, your pup will have company all day long! My flexible schedule means I can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day, making sure they feel right at home. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can run and play as much as they want! My own pup is my pride and joy, so I totally get how important it is to treat every dog like family. In this house, dogs are respected, loved, and always welcome on the furniture for snuggles!
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a little girl. I have been trusted to care for pets of family and friends for years. Dogs are our family not just a pet. I work remotely so I have a very flexible schedule to manage pet care. On the weekends we try and do a lot of activities indoors and outdoors. I give 24/7 care to your furbaby while in my care. I have a boxer puppy who is well socialized and plays well with other dogs. I have a backyard to play in and a quiet street to get lots of walks

We are very protective pet parents and very careful who we let watch our dog but we have peace of mind anytime we know Nick and Sara are in charge!”

Merina C.Star Sitter
“COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE MERINA IS AMAZING!!! Look no further for the best service on Rover! Merina is a thoughtful and introspective pet sitter who has created a home away from home for my dog. My dog is difficult to watch and Merina went above and beyond to tend to his needs. I will always look to Merina to watch my dog for any occasion, and can rest easily knowing he is in great hands.”
Chanique O.
“Chanique is absolutely phenomenal and I can’t recommend her enough. I am a over protective dog mom and get very nervous leaving her with a sitter (or literally anyone that isn’t me). I work a lot and, thanks to Chanique I do not worry about my angle at all. Chanique was so fantastic during our initial meetings and she sent long updates with multiple pictures after each visit. If you are looking for a sitter, please have a discussion with Chanique! If great reviews don’t convince you, watching her interact with your pets will!!! There is absolutely nothing more valuable than the peace of mind of knowing your pets are being loved and cared for and Chanique definitely provided that.”
