“Zak did a great job and Zeus had a fun time. I received pictures everyday and a daily update on how Zeus was doing. Would highly recommend Zak!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I dropped off my dog, Sugar, with Cody, and let me explain what “Sugar” is dealing with. Sugar is a tiny white cockapoo whose greatest natural predator is…existing. She’ll hear a leaf land three houses away and immediately file an insurance claim. She has been startled by her own reflection, a pillow, and once spent five minutes suspicious of a decorative pumpkin. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So naturally, I was thinking, “There’s no way this dog survives being around another dog and a cat.” Wrong. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cody has this supernatural calm that apparently extends to terrified fluff balls. His dog was basically like, “Hey, you wanna hang out?” Sugar answered in her native language, which is silent panic. His dog didn’t care. She just kept being cool until Sugar realized nobody was trying to assassinate her. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Then there’s the cat. Most cats look at a nervous little dog like they’re planning a documentary called How Easy Would It Be? Cody’s cat was just…chill. At one point I think the cat judged me more than it judged Sugar. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By the end of the stay, Sugar was wandering around like she paid the mortgage. She actually looked relaxed. Relaxed! This is a dog who’s emotionally overwhelmed by a ceiling fan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don’t know what Cody does. Maybe he whispers affirmations. Maybe he has Disney-princess powers. Maybe his dog is running some kind of emotional support operation and the cat is HR. Whatever it is, it works. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I picked Sugar up happy, safe, exhausted from actually having fun instead of rehearsing imaginary disasters. Cody sent updates, took amazing care of her, and somehow convinced the canine equivalent of an anxious Victorian ghost that life isn’t one long emergency. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your dog is confident, Cody will probably make them happier. If your dog is like Sugar and thinks gravity is a personal attack, Cody is basically a miracle worker. Ten out of ten. Would absolutely trust him again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sugar probably still doesn’t trust the vacuum, but that’s between her and her therapist. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~Christine and David”

“Second time my dog Olivia has been in Bobby’s care. Seems like she is very chirpy and comfortable. I have a feeling she is happy there :) Asked Bobby to send me a few photos and updates while I was away and he responded immediately.”

“I highly recommend Blaze! She provided excellent care, and kept me updated with photos and videos. My dog was comfortable with her and her childrens. (My dog is Anxious). If I have to do it again, I would do it in an heartbeat.”

“Denise is absolutely the best pet sitter. My pup adores her and her family. This is our 3rd time using her and it’s consistent quality care. She takes her on walks, plays with her, and gives her love and cuddles. Thank you Denise! I can’t explain the piece of mind we have when traveling and leaving Ginger in your care!”

“My dog Oreo had a great two weeks with Marilee and Joe. Oreo had loads of fun playing and wrestling with their dog Zuko who is a great role model for my 3 year old pup. The entire family welcomed and played with Oreo. He even got to go visit the river to swim! 😊 🐕 💗 💦 Marilee was great with communication and sent photos of my happy pup! Lol! He had such a great time I was sort of worried that Oreo would be in withdrawal when we got home without all of their company and attention! We are planning on having Oreo visit again when we go out of town.”

“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Sabrina made me a believer! She was extremely kind, communicative, and really made me feel like our dog was being cared for while we were away. She sent pictures daily, and it was a real added bonus to know that she has kids that also love pets. I certainly plan to use her again and highly recommend for any new or existing Rover users.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Catherine and Ernie and the care they provided for my English Labrador, Luna. Luna stayed with them for six days and nights, and the difference in her behavior has been remarkable. It's now been three days since she came home, and I am still noticing positive changes in her temperament and obedience. They provided the perfect balance of structure, consistency, and what I would call "tough love," which is exactly what Luna needed. Before her stay, Luna could be difficult on walks, would pull on the leash, react aggressively toward other dogs, and even try to bite her collar when I put it on. Catherine and Ernie not only worked with Luna during her stay, but they also took the time to teach me techniques that I could continue using at home. The results were almost immediate. Luna no longer tries to bite her collar, walks much more calmly, and is significantly easier to handle on a leash. One of the biggest improvements came from introducing a prong collar and teaching me how to use it correctly. Walking Luna is now much more enjoyable, and she is far less reactive toward other dogs. Catherine also recommended training videos and resources to help me continue Luna's progress. There are countless dog-training videos on YouTube, but it was incredibly valuable to have someone show me techniques that were specifically effective for my dog. Another thing I truly appreciated was the communication. Catherine kept me updated throughout Luna's stay with regular texts, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see Luna's progress firsthand. If you are looking for dog sitters who genuinely care about your dog's well-being and are willing to go above and beyond to help improve behavior and training, I highly recommend Catherine and Ernie. Luna came home happier, calmer, and more obedient, and I am extremely grateful for everything they did for her.”

About: I have experience with many different types of animals. I have cats, dogs, a snake, a lizard, snails, and fish. I also lived on a farm and have experience with farm animals. I am good at training dogs and have experience with animal's medication management. My dog has an anxiety disorder, and one of my cats had an intense medical scare which required medication three times a day. Work to provide the best for all my animals, and I'll work to provide the best for yours as well. I currently work part-time during the days. There is never a time where my house is unsupervised for more than a few hours at a time to go out and eat or run errands. With my dogs, I typically crate them when I leave to prevent them from causing problems like digging in the trash, but that is up to your discretion for your animal. I live in a house in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I have a fenced in yard that my two dogs frequently run around in. I have a small inflatable pool for the animals to play in during the heat. I will take care to attend to each animal's individualized needs, so if your dogs needs to be crated at certain times or has specific triggers please let me know.

“I cannot say enough good things about Irina. While I was on vacation, one of my dogs developed a ruptured cyst (from what I later realized was caused by a small nip from my other pup who got angry at him the day I dropped them off with Irina). This could have been an extremely stressful and scary situation but Irina handled it with absolute professionalism, compassion, and care. Not only did she notice it immediately, send pictures, and communicate every step of the way, she also took my dog to our veterinary hospital on a Sunday to make sure he was properly diagnosed and treated. With her veterinary degree, she clearly knew how to manage the situation, and assure me Ralphy was doing okay and it was treatable (which gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of the Country). On top of this she kept me updated on both dogs, and sent lots of pictures and videos. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so caring, knowledgeable, and reliable to watch my 2 Senior Dogs. I recommend Irina wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a pet sitter who treats your pets as if they were their own.”

“Ersai took such great care of Goku while I was away! Communication was excellent from start to finish. She sent lots of photos and updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also asked thoughtful questions whenever she wanted to make sure Goku was comfortable and well cared for, and I really appreciated her attention to detail. It was clear that Goku was happy, loved, and in great hands during his stay. I highly recommend Ersai to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Goku!”
