“Amazing experience. I'm so glad we found David and Jeanette. Their family home is setup perfectly for pup sitting and everyone is properly experienced with dog care. Our three dogs (aged 2-13) loved their vacation with these Rovers.”

“Darylee and her family were so good to our pups! I’m so glad they were able to stay in such a wonderful place with such great people. We’re so thankful they were able to help us out and take in our babies during the holidays.”

“We had been concerned about leaving our dog anywhere because she had never been away from us in the whole three years we’ve had her. But she was so happy and comfortable with Doug And Marisol that we should not have worried. She got to be on vacation while we were on vacation and play with new friends.”

“Could not have asked for a better experience! My pup (Ace) is an extremely anxious guy but upon meeting Leigh I could see she had such a warm, calm personality and that he would be in great hands. She sent me pictures and messages daily which I really appreciated. Leigh is extremely flexible with drop off/pick up times. She has a lovely home with a large outside area that Ace could safely explore. It was so nice to take a vacation knowing that Ace was being cared for by someone that truly loves dogs. I will be using Leigh for all future trips. Book her now!!”

“Kevin was just the person I needed to take care of my dog while I was working out of town and my family wasn’t home to watch my dog. He has the perfect set up to keep any size dog fed, safe, and well taken care of and he has the room for a handful of dogs too! He and his kids took the time to take my dog out for walks. I will definitely reach out to him when in need again. Thanks Kevin!”

“I will never look any further for a dog sitter only Diana! Diana is amazing!! Seriously, if you have smaller dogs she makes them feel like they’re right at home! Everyday she sent me videos and pictures of my dogs. She even groomed them and took them on constant walks everyday! Diana is such a dog lover and it made me feel so safe leaving them with her. The dogs absolutely loved her back yard and were worn out everyday from playing. She’s very accommodating as well to your dogs needs. By the time I picked my dogs up they were so sad to leave ! I’m definitely going to be booking with her from now on.”

“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”

“Brandon and Mya took great care of our dog this weekend on short notice. She had so much fun playing in the yard with their dog, and we were able to relax and enjoy our plans knowing she was in good hands. We would book again!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two dogs than Ron! From the start, he was incredibly kind, responsive, and professional, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Ron provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that my pups were not only safe but also happy and well cared for. His warm and welcoming family was an added bonus—it's clear that they all truly love animals and treated my dogs like part of their own. When I picked up my dogs, they were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved during their stay. Ron made the process effortless with his attentiveness and genuine care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible sitter. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

“Scott and Lori were amazing with our frenchie Wally and communicated with us daily while we were on vacation. It was so great to see photos and videos while we were away; it really made us feel like our dog was in great hands all week. They also went above and beyond and took Wally to the beach not once, but TWICE in the same week and he loved it!! Thank you for the best boarding experience! I think our dog missed Scott and Lori after we picked him up from his "stay-cation", so that says a lot about his stay in their lovely home. We don't take many vacations but are looking forward to having him stay with Scott and Lori again next time!!!”

“Elisabeth is so sweet, he home is lovely and a great set up for doggy daycare. She sent me cute videos and I felt at ease with Freya's comfort and safety. She was available extremely last minute with no issue! I would definitely book again.”

“Jenny was so great to our pup, Mozart! She was quick to respond to all our messages and sent pictures constantly so we could see how much fun he was having. Mozart also got along super well with their dog, Lucky. Would definitely use Jenny again to care for our dog. Thank you, Jenny!”

“April was amazing with our dog Denny while we were on vacation! She took the time to meet with us beforehand, which made us feel completely comfortable leaving Denny in her care. She has a big backyard where Denny had plenty of space to roam and play, and he even got to sleep inside and watch TV—just like at home! She treated him like family, sent us daily photo and video updates, and made sure he got his medication every day. Denny looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. We’re really grateful we found her and would definitely book with her again!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with large breeds, and have spent over a decade caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love having that joyful energy in my home. Pet sitting lets me give that love to your dog, while giving you peace of mind. I’ll spend lots of time on the ground playing with them, we’re not afraid to get slobbery. And I’ll send you lots of high quality photos (portrait mode!). With experience caring for senior dogs, I’m very comfortable with age related needs - from slow, gentle walks to administering daily medications and keeping a close eye on overall comfort. I work remotely so your dog won’t be left alone. They’ll have company, attention, and a calm, cozy environment all day long. Whether your pup needs playtime, companionship, routine, or just a place to nap by my desk, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work from home, so I’ll be here with your pup all day. We have a doggy door, so they can go into the fenced backyard on their own, or I can let them out or take them for walks during the day. I have a fenced in yard, a doggy door so they can go outside when they want, and I go for walks during the day to get away from my desk. There are currently no other pets or kids in the house. Single story home, so no steps to worry about. Pets are allowed on the furniture, and they will be snuggled.
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
