“Absolutely amazing and I highly recommend! Valeria and her family are absolutely incredible. I am that protective dog mom that always wants to make sure that my baby is taken care of and I could’ve not asked for a better family than hers to watch my Macimus for the weekend. She was in constant communication with me always updating me with photos and even made me a Mother’s Day card from Mac when I picked him up. She truly goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a lovely and responsible family to take care of your fur baby when you are out of town.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
“As always, Teddy had a fabulous time with Emilie and Jimmie and the other pups. When I go on vacation, he goes on vacation to the doggie resort! Thank you, Emilie for taking care of my dog as if he were your own.”
“I booked Irina last minute and she was able to accommodate, I was away for 2 days and she kept me updated with pictures and videos! Would definitely recommend and will rebook again”
“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Catherine is the BEST caregiver of our sweet dog Ridley! She truly goes out of her way to communicate and provide videos, pictures and updates. I cannot say enough great things about Catherine and her family! Thank you so very much for this positive and happy experience! I feel that we have not only met the best sitter for our dog, but we have made a new friend! Awesome!”
“Taylor was amazing with my dog Ozzy! She kept me updated, made me feel completely comfortable while I was away, and treated him like her own. Ozzy was so happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would absolutely trust Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Jackie was amazing with my dog! He absolutely loved her. She was also great at communicating with me throught his entire stay which is an added bonus. Her services were excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Payal was amazing taking care of Ted! Communication was 10/10: she shared pictures and videos all the time, and I could clearly see my dog was happy and in great hands. I strongly recommend her!”
“Jessica was fantastic. She kept me updated with texts, vids, and photos, and Snickers had a great time with her son. I definitely recommend Jessica for your dog sitting needs.”
“Banksy had wonderful time with Gregory. He sent plenty of pictures and updates. He was also so understanding of Banksy's medical needs. We look forward to using him again.”
“Ekaterina, took care of my precious puppy like her own child for more than a week…..Took my puppy on walks. She has had a her own dog so she understands the toilet needs for my precious puppy. She only cares for one puppy at a time so my puppy got full attention. Highly recommend her!!!!”
“Kathy was friendly and personable. It was Miles first time boarding and was able to cope with the other dogs thanks to the kind treatment he received. Thanks so much.”
“What a great experience with Nicole - it was so good my dog Mocha didn't want to come home :) Fantastic communication from the moment we met and during the stay received many photos and videos showing me how happy Mocha was. She can't wait to come back !”
“Lee Ann did an amazing Job taking care of my Nala! She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day which I loved. I definitely recommend her! She was very responsible when taking care of Nala which is hard to find.”
“Arlen was great. We did a meet and greet before boarding to make sure everything was a good fit, and Lady, who is normally a very anxious dog, seemed super comfortable right away and immediately started exploring the space. Arlen sent daily pictures and was very accommodating throughout the stay. My flight was canceled the day I was supposed to pick Lady up, and Arlen truly saved the day by being flexible and able to continue accommodating her. It spared me the added stress of worrying about boarding plans while already dealing with the stress of canceled travel. I would absolutely book with him again.”
“Camilla and her mom were wonderful. They sent pictures of my dogs everyday to update us. They have a gated house which I loved. Both my dogs are medium sized. Would leave my babies with them again. Thank you ladies!”
Idlewyld dog parents share their Rover experiences
David is a superb pet sitter indeed! I am always hesitant to leave my senior dog with someone new, but David went above and beyond to care for our little guy. He gave daily updates with pictures and videos…as well as made suggestions from the knowledge he has with dogs and especially some older ones. I will definitely book with David next time we need a sitter. He’s a really sweet person and a loving care giver. Five stars across the board!
Sarah was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Milo, during his two-night stay. She was caring, professional, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would not hesitate to leave Milo with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Sarah!
Anita was fantastic! Tully our King Charles cavalier spent nearly two weeks at Anitas place - she was well looked after and was happy in her care - the enclosed back yard was perfect for her along with the walks. We were updated with photos and fab communication. Would highly recommend Anita and we are very grateful.
I’m still sitting in my parking spot after picking up Penny because I just had to write this review before driving away… that’s how blown away I am. This was my first time leaving her with Vadim and Anastasia, and they made the whole experience so easy. The photos and videos they sent throughout her stay were constant and genuinely heartwarming. Cuddles, treats, pets, etc. I never once had to wonder how she was doing. Their communication is also exceptional. I travel a lot for work so having found them is a life saver. 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing to leave their pups!
Madison was AMAZING!!! She sent updates multiple times a day and had a great time with our pup!! I actually think he's sad now that he's home! He never usually eats the first day he's with someone else, and he ate right away with Madison! She's our first call for a dog sitter going forward! Highly recommend!
Jody is superb. She took terrific care of my beloved Chilli. While I was away, Jody texted me lots of pictures, which was very comforting as my first booking was also Chilli's first time having an overnight stay away from home. Chilli had a great time with her two dogs - they all got along very well and Chilli felt right at home. He was well taken care of and one can see that Jody has a genuine love for dogs. It is imperative that one trusts the person taking care of a pet, and that trust is seamless with Jody, whom I highly recommend.
Taylor was amazing with my dog Ozzy! She kept me updated, made me feel completely comfortable while I was away, and treated him like her own. Ozzy was so happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would absolutely trust Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Alisha took excellent care of our 9-month, high-energy Havapoo, Salter for 8 days! Salter enjoyed playing in Alisha's fenced-in yard. Salter played with other dogs, which I'm sure she enjoyed! Alisha sent picture and video updates. Alisha is very nice and treated Salter with respect, discipline and love. We would definitely use Alisha again.
Dawson has had an amazing time with Payal over the past several days — I’ve been getting the sweetest updates throughout the day, from adorable videos to cute photos that truly show how well she’s caring for him. On top of that, Payal has been incredibly accommodating with my demanding work schedule, always flexible and easy to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend her!
My dogs just spent the past 3 weeks with Jennifer and from the moment they met her it was obvious that they would be well cared for. She sent me daily photos, kept me informed and while they had the run of certain areas of her home and yard, she also took them for daily walks. They came home relaxed - and while happy to see me - it was also obvious that they were perfectly happy staying at her home. We will be booking Jennifer again when we make more travel plans later this year.
1000/10 She took such great care of my baby and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. She continuously sent pictures and updates, which I really appreciated—it meant so much to see how happy and well cared for my dog was while I was away. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in the way she treats the pets she watches. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
