“Ariane and her family were wonderful with our sometimes-anxious cockapoo, Millie who spent 10 days with them while we were out of the country. She went for walks alongside Ariane's two dogs, lay in the sun on the fenced deck, joined Ariane in the car on errands and fully participated in their family life. Ariane was great at sending frequent updates which were much appreciated. Millie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up - she will definitely be a returning guest!”
“As usual, Lori was a gem. Alex found a new girlfriend while at Lori's this time, and met up with new and old friends. Getting updates and pictures while we were away gave us the comfort of knowing that Alex was happy and was being well cared for. Lori is the only person we leave Alex with on Rover. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone. Thanks again Lori.... and Alex thanks you. Ester & Larry Butler”
“Krista was excellent! I felt very comfortable that she was going to take great care of my puppy. Her house and yard are set up in the best interest of the dogs. I was thankful that she was willing to take care of my 6 month old puppy. I would definitely have my puppy stay with her again!”
“Mike was great to work with. Truly a dog person, with very dog friendly accomodations. Lilja clearly had a great time, she was happy at pick up and passed out within 10 min of getting home.”
“Lola had a great time with Donna and Roland. They were awesome with communicating and sending pictures. Lola will definitely go back to stay with them next time we need a sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”
“We had an amazing experience with Laura! She is incredibly reliable, thorough, and trustworthy. From the start, she went above and beyond by meeting us halfway for pickup and drop-off since we live far away, which made things so much easier for us. Throughout our dog’s stay, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, giving us peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. We could tell our dog was well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”
“Bean, our 13 year old pug, had a great stay with Gienna! We got lots of updates/photos and all communication was excellent. We appreciated how much extra patience and love she gave our little old pug.”
About: I am an experienced dog owner, with one dog now. I am also an experience dog foster parent- having helped well over a dozen dogs find their forever home. We regularly watch friends and family dogs as well. I’m endearingly known by many as the crazy dog lady. My children and our pup love to love animals of all kinds! I work from home, so have plenty of flexibility to spend time with the dogs. I love to take them on walks or outside to play. Our house is busy, but relaxed. Our friendly dog and kids absolutely love having cuddle buddies and playmates! I have an unfenced yard with a lead, and a quiet neighborhood for leashed walks. I regularly take the dogs for runs at the park or beach as well. I also have a crate available for use-- can accommodate a dog from 8lbs to 80lbs.
“Allie and Anthony took excellent care of Willow! She came home happy and relaxed. It was nice to know she was in such good hands during our trip! We look forward to having Willow stay with them again.”
“We had a great experience with Felicia. She was able to accommodate a last minute request for pickup and drop off. Felicia was responsive and our pup was obviously well cared for.”
“David was amazing and my Mille had a wonderful time while I was away. He updated with photos and videos and let us know how she was doing, him and his family is great and if we ever need a sitter again, we will make sure to call David 😊”
“Kathy was really great with my two dogs who really have never stayed anywhere other than families homes..... She kept in touch regularly and I picked up two very happy dogs! Highly recommend”
“Outstanding! We felt completely at ease from the moment we met Zwany. She's someone both pets and people feel totally comfortable around. She and Leandro are detail-oriented, thorough, communicative, responsive, and kind- everything and more you'd want people looking after your pets to be. They go above and beyond- I would highly recommend them to others and we would definitely bring our dog back.”
“While we were away for an international trip for 10 days, it was such a relief to know that Lincoln was in Faith’s capable hands! Lincoln is an energetic yellow lab who requires a lot of play time, and Faith delivered. She also sent daily pictures of Lincoln, putting our minds at ease. I would highly recommend Faith for your furry family members!”
“My dog is a big old baby requiring plenty of attention and TLC as well as timely walks and medications. He’s an old boy. He loved Liz and her place. Usually he has separation issues. Well he hardly noticed when we left and I’m pretty sure he was a little bit disappointed to come home. Great care for my dog.”
“Marge loved staying the weekend at Jodi’s! Jodi sent tons of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Marge got to play with other dogs and swim! We definitely will use Jodi again in the future.”
“Natasha & Jonathan took great care of our pup. He felt right at home with them. They asked us all the right questions and kept us updated throughout the visit.”
“Paul and Megan were amazing with our dog, Totoro! We went on a 11 day vacation and Totoro was also on a vacation of his own. They took such great care of him and showered him with so much love, from the daily walks to giving him his medication and also playing tug of war. We also really appreciated the daily updates and photos and we had no worries while we were away. We would definitely go back to them for dogsitting! Totoro loved them!”
“Rita and her fur-fam gave my boy the most wonderful vacation. She is not paid what she is worth - she knows dogs at an expert level, she loves them, her place is set up perfectly for a dog vacation. I was a nervous new mom to leave my dog, but Rita and her two sweet dogs gave my Donut the best experience, opening his personality in wonderful ways and putting me at peace. Thank you for the tlc and ease, and your time, Rita.”
“Denise was amazing! So incredibly great with my dogs. One of my dogs is just a nervous dog when she meets new people and she was so great with her. I was very scared leaving my babies for the first time and Denise made everything go smooth. Such a nice person! Cant say enough about how kind and caring she is. Thank you Denise!❤️”

8. Lindsay B.
“I have a very stubborn 9 year old English Bulldog. He has recently become agitated in the last couple of years as he ages so visits to the Vet and groomer have become filled with anxiety as his temper gets the best of him and we are left with no choice but to sedate him otherwise I fear he may bite. The ONLY person that he will allow to touch him to clean him is Lindsay. She is also the only person that he will listen to and follow commands. Yes, he is a stubborn child!!! I call Lindsay the "dog whisperer" because I have yet to experience an interaction like this. He and Lindsay have this sweet bond that leaves my heart full and my mind at ease. Lindsay is patient, kind, compassionate and loving. She is reliable and trustworthy, always going ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure he is well cared for. When I am away on vacation or gone for periods of time, Lindsay takes such good care of my sweet boy. He needs to be wiped regularly because of his folds, his bottom and he drools a lot!! She cleans him when she visits and sends pictures of them spending time together, it is such a relief to know I found someone who he enjoys being around and the feeling is reciprocated. He refuses to walk or exercise and even getting him to go outside to go to the bathroom has proved to be challenging for us. Lindsay has somehow worked her magic and he listens to her, going outdoors to exercise and enjoys their play time together!! Truly, there are no words that could capture the type of caregiver Lindsay is, but I am forever grateful for the happiness and love she has provided for my guy!!”
