“Lisa was the BEST! The dogs were both so tired from a weekend of playing. I cannot thank you enough for taking them in on such short notice! Highly recommend to anyone in need of a dog sitter!”
“Lori was a great host! Aarcher had a great mini vacation and was very well cared for. Lori is totally caring with tons of unconditional love to share ... a true dog lover!!”
“Jacqueline was great with my blind dog. She called me in for a meet and greet, showed us the house and the backyard and discussed feeding, sleeping and all other necessary things. Having learned that my dog is blind, she read up on blind dogs needs and was fully prepared. Every day I received an update with a picture. My dog was welcome, happy and safe in Jacqueline’s house. I’m very grateful and would highly recommend her.”
“Aaron took very good care of our 2 Puggles. He clearly loves dogs and treated them as if they were his own. Very responsive and kept me updated with photos and videos. Will definitely use his services again!”
“Cassandra took great care of our dog over the Christmas holiday! Hazel doesn’t always eat much while she is staying at someone’s house (regardless of who it is), so Cassandra kept us updated when she was or wasn’t eating - and eventually Hazel did settle in to better eating habits! Her concern and attention was really appreciated. Hazel also gets an allergy pill twice a day which Cassandra kept up with too. Thank you for caring for our dog!”
“First I wanna say, I never left my fur baby with anyone.. From the first hour I got lots of pictures and reassurance. They did a really amazing job and I would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Elisabeth is simply great, really grateful for her to take care of Pluto on Christmas day, she kept us updated throughout the evening and we could see Pluto was relaxed and happy. She was really caring, Pluto can be a bit anxious at a new place but she made sure that all points discussed during our meet and greet were taken care of. I would highly recommend Elisabeth and would look forward to the next stay.”
“Jenning was great through this whole process. This was my first time using rover and leaving Nipsey with anybody. She was very helpful and knowledgable prior to booking and during his stay. She kept me updated with both pictures and videos and was easy to communicate with. She also gave me a list of things to pack prior to arriving and gave me a few pointers and suggestions for new things to order. Highly recommend Jenning to anyone looking to book, she cared Nipsey like her own.”
About: I have taken care of pets most of my life. I’ve mostly handled cats and dogs, but I also have experience with bearded dragons 😊 I really do love all animals! I work M-F as a nurse but I’m usually done by 3:00 in the afternoon. I’ve found I really need something to do in my free time and I couldn’t think of anything better than taking care of some pets! As a nurse, safety is very important to me. I would use my days off to dedicate all my time to your pet, their happiness, and safety 😊
About: I provide loving, reliable care tailored to your pet’s needs. From playful puppy training to gentle senior support, I’m experienced with all ages and temperaments. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I grew up with dogs my entire life! I recently added a cat to the mix as well. I love animals and spend a lot of time watching my families, friends, and neighbors when needed. The pets in my home (Harvey my black lab and Binx my cat) get along with all animals. This can easily fit into my routine! I work in the area and I am home in the evenings. Dog walking, boarding at our home, and ensuring your pet is fully taken care of will be no issue. I have two pets of my own and have grown up in a household with dogs my entire life. I have seen every breed and have been able to care for pets of all kinds with no issues.
“Ashley took good care of my little guy. He seemed very happy when we returned. She gave us daily updates and pictures and, again, Cooper always looked happy. Our usual pet sitter wasn't available so I needed to find a backup and was really nervous, but I'm happy to say it worked out great.”
“Cecilia took good care of our Ida while my wife and I were out of town. She took time to introduce Ida to the other dogs there to give all the dogs the best chance of getting along. Ida went for one day of daycare before her boarding stay and seemed happy to be returning when we dropped her off. Cecilia was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent us some pictures of Ida while we where out of town. If I wasn't moving out of state I would happily send my dog back to Cecilia's for boarding or daycare!”
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, which has informed my experience with them. I enjoy walking dogs and training them to learn new tricks. I know several dog training techniques, including positive reinforcement techniques. I can always make time out of my schedule to walk Fido or give Fluffy extra cuddles. I am available especially on Saturdays. When I'm spending time with your furbabies, it never feels like work. I care for my pets by making sure they have plenty of water and food. I also walk the dog frequently and make sure the cat has a clean litter box. For clients, I care for pets per their instructions.
“When my initial Rover sitter fell through at the last minute, I reached out to Samantha and she happily took Hazel into her home for a week! She was friendly and communicative with updates and pictures. Hazel was well cared for!”
“Samantha is great. She has great communication and wants to make sure you and your pup are comfortable before booking. Our dog Frank had a great time, we got lots of pictures and updates which I love. We knew it was a successful stay when we went to pick Frank up and he immediately ran to Samantha to tell her his people were there. We will definitely work with Samantha again!”

She is extremely attentive to details and will ensure that your baby is safe, happy, loved and healthy at all times. She will also play with them, talk to them and snuggle them. There are precious few people with whom I would entrust my fur babies, and Margaret is at the top of that very short list! You will not be sorry if you hire her to take care of your babies!”
