“Megan was absolutely great! For being first time rover users she made it a breeze giving us updates and pictures throughout the day was very comforting to know our beau was safe and having a good time. We also messaged pretty last minute and was requesting a pretty long day and she was happy to do it which was amazing. Can’t thank her enough.”


“This was our first doggy care time with William. Our experience with Meet and Greet a few days and today's doggy care day care was very positive. William is easy going and accommodates well. Our dog Leo was excited to be with him this morning. I can see Leo doing this every time he goes to William's house. Definitely will send Leo to be with him in the future.”



“So, i was pretty nervous to leave my precious, sick, 4-month-old furbaby with an internet stranger. But we had good conversations beforehand and he had lots of good reviews. Well, the reviews are well deserved! Puppy had a fine time. Howie (and his wife) clearly took great care of her! Would definitely book again. I just need to figure my schedule out.”


“Emily was amazing! She was so kind and caring for my dog Stanley who was having a tough time adjusting and he loved her. She provided great updates throughout the day and sent cute photos which reassured me he was doing great at her house. Communication was easy too. . I will definitely use her again!”


“Philip works great with dogs of all personalities. We feel comfortable leaving our anxious dog in his care and she settled in quickly, looking like she had a good time playing with JoJo.”


“Erin was amazing with my Ollie for daycare! She was very responsive, sent so many pictures and videos, and he came home exhausted after playing with Mack all day! They also went on three walks throughout the day! Would highly recommend Erin!❤️”


“Safiyyah and Roy worked so hard with my nervous puppy to make her feel comfortable in their home. She takes a long time to warm up to strangers and they are very patient and willing to work with me for a calmer puppy. They were very accommodating and willing to try different things.”


“My puppy Milo seemed to enjoy his time with Katherine one evening. I love that they have a yard for their dog and mine to run and play freely. Katherine was very professional and easy to work with.”


“I was nervous about leaving Lily with them but she had a great time! They have a great backyard and she loved going in it. I am going to book with them again soon!”


About: Hey there! I’m JinAe-a lifelong dog lover to my core & a proud parent to a playful 1 year old pup who believes every dog is a potential new best friend. I've had dogs throughout my life from a spirited Irish Setter to a reactive rescue who needed extra TLC, plus many more. Whether your dog is up for a calm walk, game of chase, or a good old-fashioned nap, I’m here to offer care that feels like home-belly rubs included. Caring for dogs isn’t a side gig, it’s part of my who I am. Every morning starts with a walk (rain or shine!), a round of play, and cuddles with my own dog before I dive into the day. I carve out time daily & weekly for client pups, whether it’s neighborhood strolls, park play dates, or home visits. I thrive on the structure & joy that dog care brings-it’s a welcome constant in my schedule. I plan my calendar around wagging tails & happy paws and wouldn’t have it any other way. Pet safety, comfort, & happiness are my top priorities-always. In my home pets are treated like family, with cozy spaces to relax, regular playtime, & routines to help them feel secure and loved. I maintain a clean, pet friendly environment and tailor each day to fit their individual needs. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same attentive approach: following instructions closely, keeping schedules consistent, & making sure pets feel calm & cared for, even when their owner’s are away. For anxious pups, I bring extra patience & calm energy. I avoid overwhelming stimulation, offer gentle reassurance & give them time to adjust at their own pace. Whether it’s using their favorite toy, a scent from home, or simply sitting nearby, I focus on what makes them feel safe. I’ve found that a steady routine & lots of positive reinforcement go a long way in helping nervous dogs build trust and relax.

About: Hello! My name is Nicole and I am a communications professional who loves animals! I have 10+ years dog and cat sitting experience, and grew up and took care of family pets my entire life. I have a friendly, trained and playful dog of my own who is great with others. I treat every animal like they are my own and tailor care to fit their personality - whether that is playtime, long walks or just cuddles. I am reliable, responsive and here to give you peace of mind while you are away. I work from home which means your dog will have plenty of attention, companionship and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular walks, play breaks and belly scratches, making my home the perfect environment for dogs who enjoy consistent care and a calm, comforting routine. I have three quarters of an acre fenced backyard, in a safe, friendly neighborhood with a paved city trail right out my front door - both perfect in their own way for getting those zoomies out and going for long walks. Inside, my home is cozy, clean and calm - a great space for dogs to relax and feel at ease. Whether we are running around in the backyard, going for a stroll or cuddled up on the couch, your dog will be cared for like my own.

About: I am a foster Mom for rescue dogs. I've also successfully trained a service dog for Helping Paws. Dog sitting is a way for me to socialize pets while helping out fellow dog lovers. I offer pick up and delivery service as well as airport runs for clients as a convenience for folks who live nearby. My home is conveniently located off of 394 and 494. The fenced in back yard is escape proof (rescue dog tested) and I have gates in the house to keep dogs from escaping through open doors. Safety is a priority. I retired from corporate life a few years ago and found my new passion is caring for pets. My husband is also a big help! I'm typically gone from 2-4 hours each day and home the rest of the time. Pet care brings pure joy and happiness into my day! My husband is frequently home when I am out and about. I have a fenced yard and doggy door that most dogs learn how to use very quickly. Making sure dogs are compatible with each other is a priority. Slow introductions are managed by having dogs meet in a neutral space and then we go for a walk so the dogs get used to each other before entering the house for more socializing.

Nicole P.

Sandy S.

“Sandy was a pleasure to work with! Very flexible with scheduling and great communication”


Kath R.

“Kathy Ruhland has taken care of my mixed breed Jack Russell terrier when I have traveled multiple times a year for over eight years—his entire life. For all the prior dog sitters I have had, none compare to Kathy (and her kind and loving husband Jim). Why? The best answer is my dog leaps from my car and rushes to the door when we arrive. She grooms him, walks him daily and keeps me informed of his well-being via text messages and photos. She has trained helping paws dogs and worked as a volunteer for rescue organizations. I can see she loves dogs, cares for them, even lets them sleep with her. I trust her implicitly. She is always willing to help work with my travel arrangements and remains flexible to meet my needs. In my book (and my dog’s) she gets an A plus plus.”
