“I wish I could leave more than 5 stars for my dog's recent stay with Lynette and her family. She was simply amazing with Shea and her special needs as an older rescue dog that needs medication and extra tlc with being comfortable in new situations. We were updated frequently during our trip with pics which was a nice touch and very much appreciated on our end. Her dog Honey was the best and most patient host as well! If you are looking for a sitter for your pet, and are a bit apprehensive about using this app/someone you dont know, leave your fears behind and enjoy your trip bc Lynette is the real deal. Our usual sitter was not available the week we needed someone and a trial stay at a kennel did not go well for Shea, so we were about to cancel our trip. A friend recommend using Rover and we came across Lynette and her profile. We scheduled a meet and greet and from there booked out dogs stay. Im so glad we did and look forward to using her again in the future when needed. Thanks again Lynette!!! 🥰🙂💜”


“I was in town for a work trip, but my dog didn’t have someone to watch him. Rosalie is a very sweet person and made my dog feel right at home. It was a nice day out, so he got to spend a lot of time outside exploring her yard! Thank you Rosalie!”


“We have been using Cipriana for our dog Barkley for almost 2 years. Her mom and brother Joe often helped out as well. Unfortunately, the last time we used them was the last time for our beloved Barkley. He was fine before we went away and he suddenly became sick. He was a diabetic and stopped eating and Cipriana puréed his food and gave to him in a syringe. When he didn’t feel better, Joe, carried him to the car and they brought him to the vet. We were 5 hours away and luckily Cipriana also works at this vet and checked on our dog. Unfortunately, we found out he had a large cancerous tumor in liver that was totally unexpected and was told that euthanasia was the best option. It was a comfort to know that our dog was not alone until we could be with our best friend of almost 14 years and say goodbye. Mom even showed up and said goodbye too. It will be awhile before we get another dog, but it will be Cipriana. She is the best.”


“Nardia was friendly, communicated well, and very flexible with my last minute puppy boarding needs! I needed a place for my puppy to stay within two hours for the night, and Nardia opened her home for my puppy and was patient and comforting with her. Highly recommend.”

“My large shepherd mix just spent four nights with Richmond. I’ll be re-booking with Richmond if he’ll have us back. Richmond is a true professional and put me totally at ease with leaving my big guy for first time overnight boarding. He is a great communicator with both people and dogs—a really (!) good combo for this line of work. If he’s available and you’re looking for a safe, warm, and active caregiver for your pooch, Richard’s the man!”


“My girl Josie had a fantastic time with Nicole; she was well-cared for, well-loved and I received daily updates and pics of all the fun she was having. I highly recommend Nicole and will certainly use her again!”


“Loretta is a beautiful human and I felt safe leaving my puppy in her care. She brings a positive vibe to the animals and the environment. Lots of love and cuddling going on. Thank you Loretta!”


“Elenor went above and beyond while watching our chihuahua, Boone. She was extremely responsive, sent us pictures, and gave us updates throughout his stay. Boone was given lots of outside time to enjoy the beautiful weather and was taken on walks each day. We loved that Elenor also made a point to have us meet with her before his stay, to further acclimate him. I would highly recommend!”


“Jeff was absolutely fantastic! He kept us up to date on Gretta in a timely manner. I was a nervous Nellie leaving her overnight as she hasn’t been away from us much in her 11 years. Look no further for the most excellent dog sitter. Thanks, Jeff!”


“I would highly recommend Amruta, she is a caring, responsible and communicative dog sitter. Amruta took time to understand my dog's specific needs, preferences and routine ensuring that they received the best care possible. Amruta sent me frequent pictures and updates, keeping me informed about my dog's mood and health. This level of communication gave me immense peace of mind while we were away.”


“Nicole is an incredible dog sitter. My dog is a very energetic lab who stayed with her for a week. I received daily updates and pictures. He was treated like a part of her family. She was so attentive to his needs and kept him busy and happy the whole time with excerise and one on one attention. I was very relaxed on my trip knowing he was so well cared for. I highly recommend Nicole.”


About: What sets me apart is the level of care, presence, and attention I bring to every pet I look after. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the flexibility and availability to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are—especially when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I’m naturally nurturing, detail-oriented, and communicative, which means you’ll always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every pet like part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 wonderful animal adoring children. Because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. During their stay, your pet will experience all the best parts of our family just as if they were our own. When caring for your pets in a clients home, I do my best to adhere to all routines and schedules so the pets can feel as comfortable as possible. I will respect your home and keep everything clean, organized, and calm. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to provide a loving and safe environment for you and your pet so you can rest assured knowing that they are being taken care of to your standards.

“I couldn't be happier with the care Mildred provided for my dog, Max. From the initial sitting it was clear Mildred genuinely love animals and take the responsibilities seriously. I appreciate the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Mildred to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”



“Victoria was incredible with Zeus. She sent updates and pictures multiple times a day and Zeus had a great time! Definitely looking forward to booking Zeus with her again”
