“Truly everything you could want in a pet sitter! She is an experienced dog lover who will take care of your pup with the same care as her own. The perfect place for any active dog! Proactive with updates (and great photos and videos from their adventures) and very responsive. Could not recommend more!”

“This was our trial run overnight stay for a longer stay we have coming up. Chris lives in a lovely area with a nice little fenced yard for the dogs to play and do their business. He has a cute smaller female mixed breed of his own. Our Finley over other dogs and had good playtime with her. I like that Chris only takes one doggie client at a time so that I know Finley will get the attention and care that he needs. Based on our successful overnight I am going to book Chris for our long trip. I don’t like making recommendations after only one overnight but I am confident that I will be doing just that after his next stay.”

“I had such a great experience with Steven and his family! From the very beginning, they were warm, welcoming, and professional, which immediately put me at ease about leaving my dog in their care. My pup felt comfortable with them right away, and I could tell how much they truly love and understand animals. They provided excellent overnight care, kept me updated, and made sure my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. I came home to a relaxed and content pup, which says it all! I highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be using them again in the future.”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”

“My husband and I were very pleased and happy with the care provided by Nina!! We received many updates and videos throughout the day showing the amazing one on one care given to Thor. Thor looked happy, mentally and physically stimulated and engaged!! There was even a picture showing him napping after a full day.🙂 We were grateful for the peace of mind we had while Thor was in their care.”

“Left my dog with Carla for 4 days and I can't complain. My dog was fine even though it's very shy and scared of other people. I would leave my dog with Carla again if I need to.”

“Carol was EXCELLENT with our dog. She was available for a meet and great ahead of time and watched him for a full week. During that week, she treated him with the utmost love and attention, truly as if it were her own dog. She was also very responsive to messages and sent updates as requested. We felt so at ease and comfortable knowing our fur baby was in good hands while we traveled. One of the best rover experiences we’ve had to date! Will absolutely use her again.”

“Very friendly and communicative! Liyuan was very quick to get back and supportive sharing photos throughout our pup's stay. I will certainly be looking to have Luna stay with Liyuan again in the future and am sure Luna's excited for it too!”

“We were nervous leaving Otto since he’s only stayed with friends and family, but Mari made us feel so comfortable. He warmed up to her right away and she kept us updated with photos the whole time. Came home to a happy pup, we’d definitely recommend her!”

“Catherine and Daniel were great with my chihuahua. She stayed with them for a week. They sent lovely photos and updates on a regular basis. She seemed well cared for and happy when I picked her up. Would definitely book again. Thank you!”


“We used Morgan, and actually Rover.com, for the first time. My husband dropped off Laska (our hound mix rescue dog), and noticed that she seemed happy to go with Morgan. For us, this is a big deal because she's been through a lot. When we used the kennel Laska would fight us going in, and would come home stressed out and completely out of it. This was not the case after picking up Laska from Morgan's. Laska was clean, happy, and not stressed out! This was a first for her! Laska did have some separation anxiety, so she chewed her bed up. That was our fault because we forgot to tell Morgan about the routine that we have when we leave the house. As a result, we thought Morgan would tell us that she wouldn't watch Laska again, but to our delight, Morgan said she will take her in the future.”

“Christina and her family are fantastic. This was the first time Stevie and I would be apart after his adoption 4 months ago and I didn’t want put him back in a kennel environment. Christina and her family made him feel safe and loved from the moment they met him. I received daily updates and pictures of Stevie enjoying himself and treated as another member of her lovely family. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Stevie know has a family away from home. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!”

“This was the first time Ruby spent the day and night away from home since we adopted her at 6 months. She is now 11 months old. Aleja was wonderful. She sent pictures and brief statements reassuring me as to how Ruby was doing. I love her (Aleja's ) calm attitude and how she talked to and managed Ruby . I am planning to book her again next month for a longer visit.”

“Sara was wonderful. Our first time using a dog sitter and I was anxious about the experience. Would the boys behave, or would the sitter really give them attention? Well yes and definitely yes. The experience was great for us and the doggos. Our dogs are a large breed and a giant breed. Sara didn't have any qualms about their sizes and we were able to relax and enjoy a weekend away. Would absolutely use Sara's services again. Highly recommend.”


“Erinn was great! She was very quick to respond to all my messages and updated me every day with how things were going with Mochi. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Christina was AMAZING! Our dog Rhodey had such a great time and she took care of him very well. We had boarded him for 5 days and he got so much love & cuddles during that time. She was a pleasure to communicate with, always responding quickly and providing details when needed. She even sent him home with a little gift! She's so sweet and kind, I would highly recommend her for any pet related service!! Was a true pleasure and will definitely hire her again :)”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ dogs since I was a teenager. I’m the designated dog sitter when my brother Andrew goes on trips. He has three dogs of different sizes, ages and needs. I have always been able to calm his puppies down as I am a calm and patient person. I’m a “gentle parent” for dogs. I use a positive reinforcement style when it comes to bad behaviors. I do work full time, but remotely on Fridays and on-site is only 25 minutes away from home. The most time Monday-Thursday that I would be out of the house is about 8 hours I only have a bearded dragon in a glass tank at home currently so no other furry pets that could possibly not get along with yours. I have a large fully-fenced in backyard and live in a large neighborhood with sidewalks for our daily strolls.
