“Charlotte had a wonderful stay with James and Iryna. I received photos, videos and regular updates each day Charlotte stayed with them. I would definitely use them again in the future.”
“I will be using Vivian’s stellar service again! I was nervous since I had never boarded my anxious pup with a stranger before and Vivian was so kind and affirming. She sent a ton of pics, videos and general updates, that I even shared with friends and family who could immediately tell (as could I) that my Roro was comfortable and well taken care of. She’s really everything a pet parent could ask for! And Biscotti is so cute and a sweet!”
About: Leaving your dog with someone else can feel like a big deal! I’ll make sure they’re safe, loved, and in good hands. I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with having a pet. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, and I want them to have the best time while they’re in my care! Whether your pup wants a good walk, some playtime, or simply a lot of love and attention, I’ll meet them where they are. I have a pup of my own: a blue heeler/pomsky mix, so I’m no stranger to energetic personalities and their little quirks! If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog plenty of care, attention, and love, I’d love to meet you both! I’ll also be sure to send many updates throughout their care. I currently work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends (Friday evening to Sunday), with some weekday evening availability depending on the day. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need while you’re away. Whether you need someone for a walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend dog sitting, I’d be happy to help! I live in a townhouse with a small, unfenced yard, as well as a large grassy area and plenty of walking paths nearby for walks, sniffs, and exploring. I also have my dog, Peter, so our dogs will be sharing a home together. Peter loves making new friends and getting playmates! While I’m sitting, I’ll be home with the dogs most of the time, if not all, aside from the occasional short errand when needed. If you and your pup are comfortable with car rides, I’m also happy to take them to nearby parks and trails to explore! I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. When caring for your pup in their home, I would love to take them for walks, stay in for some playtime and cuddles, or simply follow whatever routine and activities they enjoy the most!
“Lydia and her family are amazing! I needed to extend an extra day due to snow and she was more than happy to accommodate. This is the first time in 3 years where I have zero concern while I am away. I highly recommend Lydia!”
“Very happpy. The meet and greet was smooth and informative. Shippo enjoyed his stay there and when we arrived he was happy as ever. Daily photo updates are great. Highly recommended.”
“First time using Rover and also leaving our puppy Enzo. Lorena made the process so comforting and easy. She sent picture/video updates every day and kept us informed of what he did daily. She also was super patient as Enzo is only 4 months old and although he has potty training down at home not so much at her place. He also was not used to being around other dogs but Lorena had another dog with her that she slowly got Enzo used to being around during his stay. I would definitely reach out to Lorena again for boarding! Thanks Lorena for keeping our little guy safe and happy! :)”
“Heather and her wonderful family took amazing care or our Leo! They are obviously devoted dog people. I felt completely secure leaving our guy for more than 3 days, Leo was happily exhausted:) Will definitely rebook.”
“Michelle is wonderful. She is very responsive and sends regular updates, including pictures. Most importantly, our golden doodle always gets so excited when he spends time with Michelle and her family. He can’t wait to go back!”
“Elena and her daughter, Anna, were wonderful! My two vizslas are a handful and they kept them happy and active. Anna shared photos of them every day and kept me informed throughout the week. I will definitely have them watch Rookie and Ike again!”
“we were a first time user to Rover and we were 100% satisfied with our host Karmen for our golden doodle. The host made us completely comfortable so that we could Enjoy our one week’s vacation and was extremely communicative with us during the entire process. We highly recommend her to any person who wants the best care possible! She treated our dog like a family member!”
About: I provide more than just a place for your dog to stay. I strive to make every pup feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I’m comfortable working with young dogs who need patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m also happy to maintain established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and other care instructions. My home is a cozy, attentive environment where dogs receive plenty of love, supervision, and one-on-one attention. I also have a friendly, playful pup, and I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and gets along. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with family, not simply being boarded. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m committed to making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 4:30 PM. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of cuddles. I want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, with someone available to check on them and provide attention 24/7. I provide a comfortable, safe, and loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed while their families are away. I have a partially fenced yard where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time, along with plenty of opportunities for walks, play, and relaxation indoors. I also have a friendly pup who enjoys having other pets around and can provide companionship when appropriate. I always respect each pet’s individual personality and comfort level, so introductions are done gradually and pets are never pressured to interact. I have a small dog crate in home if needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while giving you peace of mind that they’re being well cared for.
“Jose took great care of Oliver during his weekend stay! He was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and shared great photos and videos throughout the stay! His home is clean and communication was quick. Thank you!”
“Absolutely loved our experience! Ishita took such great care of our pups and made us feel at ease the entire time. She sent regular photo updates, shared little notes about their day, and made sure they got plenty of playtime and love. The pictures were adorable we could tell they were relaxed and happy. It’s clear she treats pets like family. Highly recommend if you want someone who’s not just responsible, but truly attentive and kind with animals. Will definitely book again!”
About: “I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a little extra care. I’ve personally raised three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding routines, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive—I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands.” “I work a 9–5 during the week, but I’m available for evening visits, as well as overnight care. Weekends are wide open for more flexible scheduling, whether your pet needs extra attention, longer walks, or extended stays.” “I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away. Safety is always a priority. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, and surroundings during walks, and I keep a clean, calm environment in the home. I’m also experienced with administering medications if needed. I know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention and care. I make sure they feel relaxed and at home, with plenty of time for play, rest, and affection.”

Beyza took wonderful care of our 11-year-old kitty, Rosie, while my husband and I were away on bereavement leave. She regularly sent photos, videos, and thoughtful updates about how Rosie was doing, including sweet moments of her exploring and getting comfortable in her home. I also loved that Beyza had a couple of other sweet kitties for Rosie to get to know and socialize with. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rosie was in a loving, caring environment while we were away. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Beyza gave Rosie! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Lauren is a great sitter. My dog felt at home at her place. Her dog lulu is such a gentle dog. I got updates on daily basis. They followed all his schedules. He stayed with them for 7 days. And my dog has not picked any bad habits. I am grateful she was available during this time.
Tatiana was a very sweet caregiver for both my dog and cat. She provided them with walks and exercise. I think they both were spoiled with the amount of care they each received. My dog seemed to love having other dogs around to play with or was was just happy to relax. I think they didn’t want to come home. Tatiana communicate very well with me photos and videos of each of them playing or laying around just so I can see they were OK. I would highly recommend her to anyone if they ask me where should they go for a pet sitter.
Perry did great with Moo! She is very attentive and sent us lots of photos every day, all of which indicated that Moo was very comfortable and calm - a big deal for a dog with anxiety! Definitely a testament to how great of a sitter Perry is. Perry also managed a course of ear drops for us when we found out Moo had an ear infection the day we were scheduled to leave, which was extremely helpful! We’re very grateful to have found a sitter that made our girl so comfortable.
Selina took wonderful care of my senior dog, Scooter, while I was traveling. She was kind, flexible, and very easy to communicate with, including when I needed to extend his stay. She sent sweet updates and photos, and it was obvious Scooter was comfortable and loved while he was there. He even got attached to their “dog blanket,” which was adorable. I really appreciated the extra care, flexibility with pickup times, and how safe I felt leaving him with her. I would definitely book with Selina again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter. Thank you!
Sherina has been an awesome dog sitter. She was sending updates everyday and our dog Leo was super happy going to her. Leo was very happy coming home and I could tell Leo was well taken care. I would leave Leo with Sherina in a heartbeat. I would highly recommend Sherina for all your doggy care needs.
