“Sylvie was quick to communicate with and accommodating/flexible with the changing schedule. Our old boy had some separation anxiety and I think Sylvie and her partner did their best to give him calmness. Our dogs were well cared for and happy to see us at the end of the day. Thankful to be able to drop our dogs off without worry.”


“We appreciated and were so thankful that Barbara was able to watch our 5 yr. old Jojo on short notice. Barbara and Jojo seemd comfortable with each other as soon as they met. Although we were only gone for the day, Barbara sent photos and let us know that Jojo had adjusted quickly. Barbara was friendly and welcoming and we were able to spend our day without worrying. We will definetly ask Barbara to watch Jojo again.”


“Water and John were amazing with Henry! He can be a little anxious at first but they totally got him and made him feel right at home. I could tell he was relaxed and happy when I picked him up. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands. They sent me updates and photos throughout the day letting me know how Henry was doing. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”


“Our 3 year old greyhound, Rowdy, enjoyed his day at Steve's. For Rowdy it was like getting to spend an entire day at the dog park. He had outdoor sniffing around time, indoor lounging around time (Rowdy's favorite past time) and he even got to ride in Steve's car to the nearby park! Steve is very attentive to each dog's individual needs and quirks, and he has the space for them all to be comfortable (separated, if needed) and he is there, where they can see him, for dogs with separation anxiety, like Rowdy, it's the most important. We recommend you trust your dog to Steve's care.”


“Allison was kind, friendly, and a great sitter for Katniss! She showed care and attention with Katniss and was very flexible with us as our plans changed with our reservation! She showed knowledge of introducing dogs to each other, as her dogs became friends with Katniss right away! We are so appreciative of Allison and Katniss is always looking forward to her next play date with her dogs!”


About: I've been taking care of my household pets since I was about 10 years old. I love animals of all types, and I am especially partial to big dogs. Currently my schedule is very open. I do theatre in the evening, but I can be up and taking care of pets as early as is necessary. I live in an apartment that has plenty of space for all types of pets. The complex includes a dog park and enough space to give pets plenty of exercise.

“Karen was so wonderful. She took great care of our Henry. I was very comfortable leaving him in her care. I’d be happy to seek her out again and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again!”


“Rachel is a fabulous loving pup sitter! She got here on time! She played with the dogs took them out for poo and pee fed them sent a picture to me! I highly recommend Rachel for pup sitting!!!!!”


“Ashley is great! Shadow is excited to go and see her everytime and when she comes back home she is already looking forward to the next visit! I recommend Ashely to everyone.”


“I am delighted that Shawna and Ethan R took my dog for a day. They welcomed us warmly and were patient with his puppy behavior. He received great attention and supervision while he played outside with their 2 dogs of similar size. I received several photos, and he came home happy and ready to rest. We had a great experience! I knew he was well cared for, and he had a great time!”


“Another great visit! Luigi, formerly a shy rescue dog, loves going to daycare with Alyssa and her two big friendly dogs, Benji and Hope. This is a perfect fit for our boy and he loves his "playdates" with his new friends. We always know that he is safe and happy when we leave him.”


About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of a variety of different breeds and have even taken in stray dogs to care for them until their humans are found. I am currently an unemployed stay at home mom. I am home most of the day outside of taking my kiddo to school and picking him up from school. I am also home on Saturday and Sunday All dogs will be allowed to free roam my apartment, they will be walked as soon as I wake up and they will have 24/7 access to food. They will be allowed to sit on furniture. I do not believe in corporal punishment and it will not be practiced in my home. I will follow special requests or needs communicated by the humans prior to coming into my care


“She’s amazing!! I’m pretty picky about my dog sitters because my dog is a very high energy dog who needs direction and tends to get anxious at new places. Deb’s been working with him and he now LOVES going to spend the day with her and does awesome over there! Always comes home all tuckered out. She’s my new go to person! :)”


About: I’ve been a dog whisperer since I was a child. I have had dogs (one or two at a time) my whole life. We lost our last dog last year and don’t want the long term commitment of a new dog at this stage in our lives, but would love to take care of other people’s dogs. It is just myself and my husband in our household. I work from home part-time and if there are days that I would be showing property (realtor) I would not schedule a Rover sitting job. Also, I babysit a small child every Wednesday and Thursday. I have a fully fenced yard and no other dogs. I have no problem having dogs stay inside my home. I am happy to go to the client’s home as well.

“Monica is awesome!!! I felt comfortable with her and her family the moment I met them. Her approach is very inviting. Olive had a ball there too and I know because of all the pics she sent me to keep me informed! She was very flexible with my schedule. I would DEFINITELY recommend her and intend to use her as my sitter from here on out. The search is over! ;)”

“Our dog has some anxiety around new people. It sounded like he warmed up really fast around Erika and got very comfortable. I loved being able to se all of the pictures of him that she took☺️. I’m so happy we met her and would absolutely recommend!”


“Andrea was so friendly and is clearly a dog person. She asked appropriate questions regarding Jack’s care before we left him with her. She has a spacious place for dogs to play. We especially appreciated that she kept an eye on how he was tolerating the warm temps in the area. Highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve had pets all my life including dogs, cats, and tortoises!! I’ve helped to train puppies and have cared for senior animals as well. Pets truly are members of the family and should be treated as such! :) I currently work remote so I have a very flexible schedule! My schedule is 7-4 with no weekends or holidays! I can play with your animals, take them on walks, or little field trips if you’d like! I will be able to come over twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I will ensure your pets stay on their schedule and get walks if it’s not too hot out! If you need your pet to stay elsewhere, they can stay at my home! I have a fenced in front yard and back yard and no toxic plants around the household! I have one dog and two cats that your pet can become bffs with!

Ciara A.
“To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to write this reference for Cheyenne, who has consistently proven herself to be a caring and dedicated pet lover. She recently took care of my Shipoo, Clifford, and I was incredibly impressed with the level of care and attention she gave him. Cheyenne has a natural ability to connect with animals, and it's clear she treats them with great love and respect. Clifford instantly warmed up to her, and she handled all aspects of his care, from feeding and walking to making sure he had plenty of playtime and affection. She’s responsible, reliable, and has a genuine passion for animals, making her a wonderful person to trust with any pet. I highly recommend Cheyenne to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable caregiver for their pets. Sincerely, Bianca”

Leaving Henry always comes with a little anxiety, but Carmen’s warmth and care instantly put my mind at ease. She was absolutely wonderful, treated him like one of her own and kept me in the loop with the sweetest updates. We’re both looking forward to his next visit! I’ll definitely book with her again and highly recommend!
