“Riven and Matt are very experienced in dog care. Dexter was well taken care of, he was happy and quite himself when we picked him up. I highly recommend Riven and Matt.”

Ed G.

“My dog had a great time, Paul is super experienced in taking care of dogs with all sorts of needs and i felt so good knowing my dog, who had sustained an injury prior to booking, was in good hands. Would recommend and book again!”

“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”

Leedan H.

“My Great Dane Ortiz had a great nights stay! He loved the big yard and the comfy couch. This is a great family, you can really feel the love they have for your pet and the willingness to keep in contact with you throughout the stay. I can’t thank them enough!”

Joshua H.

“Julia is always so wonderful to work with, and our dog never wants to leave when we pick him up . So happy to have found them to care for our boy.”

Leah E.

“I felt like my dog Polly was in great hands with Briana and her family. I got pictures every day showing her having a great time with the family and other dogs. Would definitely recommend!!”

“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”

Esther & Adam H.

“Gabriel was great!! He was able to accommodate our two dogs very last minute (since our return flights were cancelled and we needed a new sitter) and then again he was very flexible to continue looking after our dogs when our flights were rescheduled multiple days later by the airlines. We appreciated the great communication and our boys were tired when we picked them up which is not an easy feat for our Australian Cattle Dog puppy! he definitely gave them lots of exercise and attention. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping his contact handy!”

Leia G.

“Megan was fantastic! Our 15 year old dog requires medication, help with stairs, and can be anxious in new environments, but he seemed very comfortable and happy with her. She sent plenty of updates and photos, which really put us at ease. We’ll definitely be using Megan again!”

Jenna D.

“It was a pleasure dealing with Sara from our first meet up to the end of the Yaya’s stay. She opened her home to me introducing her two dogs and her very large fenced backyard. She kept in touch via email and included a picture as well. She took care of Yaya’s dietary needs as well as her crazy medications. I would most definitely use Sara again.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has become both a personal passion and a professional calling. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals in many different environments—from family pets and animal shelters to farms, wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, and professional research settings. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, pigs, goats, sheep, and other farm animals, including my work with Heifer Project International. I’ve also worked with dogs in animal shelters and have shared my life with dogs as pets for most of my life. My work as a wildlife animal rescue and rehabilitation worker gave me the opportunity to care for animals that were often injured, frightened, stressed, or otherwise vulnerable. I learned how important it is to approach each animal with patience, compassion, and respect while paying close attention to their behavior and individual needs. One of the most rewarding experiences of my career was working with the New England Aquarium’s Rescue and Rehabilitation Department, where I helped care for several species of sea turtles. Providing rehabilitative care and administering medications taught me how important consistency, careful observation, and attention to detail are when an animal is recovering or has special needs. My professional animal-care background also includes working as an animal care technician and research technician, where I cared for dogs, pigs, rats, and mice. These positions required me to follow detailed protocols, maintain accurate records, administer treatments, monitor animals closely, and recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition. I’m very comfortable following specific instructions and established routines, including detailed feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, behavioral considerations, and other individualized care plans. At the same time, I believe great pet care is about much more than simply following a checklist. Every animal has their own personality, comfort level, routines, and way of communicating. I take the time to get to know each pet and treat them with the patience, kindness, and respect they deserve. My experience working with children and elderly individuals in care settings has also strengthened my ability to be patient, attentive, dependable, and compassionate—qualities that I bring to every animal in my care. Whether your pet is outgoing and adventurous, shy and nervous, elderly and needing extra patience, or simply happiest sticking to their familiar routine, I’m comfortable adapting my care to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. When you leave your pet with me, my goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable, caring hands. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I’ll take that responsibility seriously, follow your instructions carefully, communicate with you about how your pet is doing, and give them the same patience and compassion I would want for my own animals. My work schedule makes pet care a natural fit for my daily routine. I work full-time during the week close to home, which gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with your pet before work, during my lunch break, and throughout the evening. After work, I’m happy to provide as many walks, play sessions, or potty breaks as your pet needs. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors—whether I’m walking, hiking, or running—so if your four-legged friend enjoys an active lifestyle, they’ll have a great companion for plenty of exercise and outdoor adventure. And if they’re more of a leisurely stroll and cuddle kind of pet, I’m just as happy to accommodate that! On weekends, I’m home and available for around-the-clock care, giving your pet plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and relaxation. My goal is to make your pet’s care fit seamlessly into my routine while making sure they get the attention, exercise, companionship, and consistency they need to be happy and comfortable. -A Safe, Comfortable, and Personalized Stay- I’ve set aside a dedicated space in my home specifically for our four-legged visitors. It includes a room with an attached office area, comfortable bedding, and plenty of space to accommodate several dogs. The setup can also be adapted to separate dogs when needed, whether for feeding, rest, individual care, or simply giving everyone their own space. When appropriate, dogs will also have access to much of my downstairs living area, including the kitchen and living room, so they can feel like they're part of the household rather than simply being boarded. I have a private, unfenced yard as well, providing another convenient option for outdoor time and bathroom breaks. I like to start the day early. A typical morning begins around 5:00 AM with a quick walk and bathroom break, followed by breakfast. About 20–30 minutes after eating, we'll head out for a longer 15–30 minute walk, giving everyone some time to stretch their legs and get their day started. While I'm at work during the weekdays, pets will have their own comfortable, dedicated spaces where they can relax safely. The rooms will be furnished with comfortable bedding and gentle background radio noise to create a calm, familiar environment. Because I work close to home, I’m also able to come home during my lunch break for additional attention, bathroom breaks, and walks. Once I'm home for the day, the focus shifts back to exercise, enrichment, companionship, and plenty of attention. Depending on the dog's personality and energy level, that could mean another walk, some playtime, exploring outdoors, or simply relaxing together. Most importantly, I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. I’ll learn your pet's routine and follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (oral/injection), exercise requirements, behavioral considerations, and any other special needs. My professional experience caring for animals in shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, research, and veterinary-related environments has taught me to pay close attention to behavior and recognize when something isn't quite right. My goal is for your pet to have a stay that feels safe, comfortable, structured, and enjoyable—and for you to have confidence knowing they are being cared for by someone who takes their well-being seriously.

“Xiaoxue was very friendly and Milo was well looked after. Xiaoxue asked great questions to make sure Milo was happy. I would highly recommend her.”

“Brianne cared for our puppy during our holiday travels. She provided plenty of walks and play time. It was great that our energetic, friendly pup could spend time with a family and other dogs. Brianne sent pictures daily, so we felt at ease while we were away. She was excellent with communication, responding promptly when messaging on the Rover app. We picked up a very happy and tired pup after his stay. Would definitely book again!”

Nicole K.

“Once again, we couldn’t be happier that our puppy, Lucy, was able to stay with Dawn and her family while we were out of town! We love that Lucy is not only so well cared for, but also gets to socialize with Dawn’s younger kids, their friends, and other dogs throughout her stay (we love getting photos and updates!) Lucy came home happy and exhausted - thank you, Dawn!”

About: I've owned many animals from reptiles to cats and dogs. I have a Finnish Spitz who would be crated most of the day and separate from your dog. I love animals and will happily take great care of yours. I work from home, I'm in a neighborhood that's ideal for dog walks. I have a fenced in yard but I keep my dog on leash in the backyard. I have cared for dogs for years and will be sure yours is safe and cared for. I'd prefer good instructions on how your dog's routine is at home, so I can easily meet their needs with me.

“Arnav is an excellent caregiver for our dog. He is a great communicator, and the pictures he sent, showing our dog relaxed in his house, enabled us to enjoy our trip. So glad we found him!”

“It was nice that she took care of my dog and gave him pictures and short news once a day. I'll leave Harry to her once again when I get the chance! Also I want to recommend her to anyone.”
