“Simply the best. It is with great peace of mind that we leave our 12 year old puppy with Isabella. He clearly loves her and her pups. That’s a lot for this old doggie of ours.”


“My dog's recent stay with Cynthia A. was a very positive experience. We had great communication and the facility is set up nicely for dogs. As a bonus, Cynthia has extensive experience with dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her.”


“Bridgette had such a nice stay with Jennifer! We received regular photos and updates on how she was doing—it looked like she had a great time and was well cared for; she immediately crashed out for a long nap when she got home after all her fun with another dog! We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay again; strong recommend!”



“My boys had a wonderful time with Catherine. She was very good dealing with my one dog when there was a Thunderstorm. My boys were happy to see me but I think they would have stayed with Catherine if they could have. I would absolutely recommend her to others.”



“Can't thank Gabby enough for watching our little Leo. Leo is a high energy dog and she seemed to handle him with ease and on top of it she was quick to reply and confirm our dates when we were originally searching. We would absolutely use Gabby again!”


“Lindsay was so friendly and communicative throughout the stay. I really appreciated the regular updates and could tell my pup was well looked after. He came home relaxed and happy.”


“Donna is a wonderful PetSitter! Our dog, Frankie, absolutely loved her and her family. They truly made him feel like he was home, to the point he misses them now! He cannot wait to see them again, and we will definitely be booking with Donna in the future! She kept us updated while we were away, and truly catered to our pups needs. Frankie really was in a home away from home!”


“Eric and Valerie were just wonderful! They consistently sent pictures of Ginny throughout her stay, and Ginny looked extremely happy and all of them 🥰 I would absolutely ask for their help in the future.”


“Alev is wonderful! Susie is so comfortable in her home and very loved. Alev keeps us updated with daily photos and even treated her to a “pup cup” at Starbucks! Alev is a kind, soft spoken woman who makes us feel so very comfortable when traveling. Thanks Alev! 👍😘”


“Trinity is wonderful! She was very accommodating when I had several changes in pickup/drop off time requests. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout. I ended up bringing Jordy back for a second visit, and she was so excited to be back that she RAN to Trinity. I definitely recommend Trinity!!”


About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I have also worked at a veterinary practice for many years as an assistant. I am currently available weekdays and weekends, early morning to late night. I can help if you need one visit or recurring visits so I am easily able to accommodate your times and needs. I have plenty of space in my home for your pet to be safe and cared for. I also have a large fenced in yard if your pet needs to be taken care of at my home. I make their safety a priority when coming to your home to take care of or walking your pet

“This was my very first time using Rover and also the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone outside of family, so I was a little nervous. From the very beginning, Christina & Frank completely put me at ease. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and they were absolutely wonderful with my dog—treating her like their own from the moment we arrived. During her stay, they made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. They were able to administer her medication with no problem, and she seemed so relaxed in their home. Their two dogs were also amazing with her—it was such a comfort to see how well they all got along. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates throughout the day, including texts, photos, and even a video. It meant so much to see her happy and at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and I would absolutely trust them with my dog again. Highly recommend!”


About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!

“Theresa is such an awesome sitter, who loved my dog like her own. I appreciated very much the photo updates a couple of times a day, and the fact that my Lily was the only dog she cared for at the time since my girl can get a touch territorial. She treated my baby like family.”


“Lisamarie was amazing w/ our pup Ryder! I was so nervous to leave him for the 1st time but felt confident doing so as soon as I met her. I will definitely be using Lisa’s services again bc Ryder had a blast! Thank you Lisa…for taking such good care of him & for all the great pics 🧡”


“Thank you so much. Debra was very accommodating to watch my two dogs. She sent pictures and communicated with me to make me feel comfortable. Would recommend she was very loving to my pups!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was twelve. My family and I have two beautiful dogs. I take care of everything they need. Also, I worked in a veterinary clinic so I have experience with grooming, bathing handling difficult animals, administering medication and whatever needs that your dog might have. You just have to tell me and I will take care of it. I’m currently working a part time job and I’m enrolling in college. I am available for dog walks or visits between 10:30 am and 2:00 pm. If you need a boarding care I am available Friday nights, Saturday and Sunday all day. My backyard it is not completely fenced but you don’t have to worry because near to the house there’s a park where I can take you lovely dogs for walks. On the other hand, if you need me to take care of your dog in your house please let me know your instructions and your dogs preference or routine and I will do it.

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog and a general love for dogs, I offer personalized care tailored to each pets needs. I am committed to providing not just feeding and walking, but true companionship, mental stimulation, and playtime. I have experience caring for dogs with anxiety, diabetes, and arthritis. Whether your dog needs personalized attention or not, I will adapt to their unique personalities to keep them happy and stress free while you’re away. I currently work from home with the option to go into the office, so I will be available to provide constant attention to your pup. I can offer frequent potty breaks, playtime and cuddle sessions to ensure your dog feels comfortable. I live in a pet friendly apartment building that has a courtyard with a large patch of grass for dogs to play. I can cage your dog if requested, however your dog will be allowed on furniture (if approved by you) and to roam around the apartment freely. I want them to feel as at home as possible.


About: I absolutely love dogs! My family dog passed away when she was still a puppy, a beautiful husky named Belle. In her honor I make sure to give all the love and protection to dogs that little me couldn’t provide. I promise you, your fur babies will be so loved, cared for and protected while they are with me! I am an elementary school lunch aide during the school year, so I am only out at least three hours a weekday. I don’t have this job during the summer so my schedule is more flexible! I have a yard perfect for your fur baby to run around in, and the elementary school I work at is right down the street so we can get some great walks in and play on the field (only if you’re okay with it of course)! I will need a list of what you’d prefer for your fur baby and for you to bring their essentials for food, play, and sleep. I want to disrupt their schedule as little as possible so just tell me what I need to do and your wish is my command! The more details the better!

“I cannot recommend Natalie enough! She has been walking my dog, Sven, for a few weeks now, and I’ve seen a huge improvement in Sven's happiness and energy levels. Natalie is not only professional and reliable but also truly passionate about animals. Sven absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives. I love the updates and pictures she shares after each walk, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Natalie is the perfect choice!"”
