“Carol was everything we were looking for, hoping for, and more. We contacted Carol on short notice for a last minute two-night get away. She was available and was open to a meet/greet with us and our pups before the scheduled sitting. We felt very comfortable with Carol; her demeanor, her abundant interest and care into our dogs daily routine. It was clear Carol was for us and our beloved pups. Once our weekend was underway, Carol not only provided us pictures of our dogs, she provided astute and caring updates about our dogs. In addition to taking interest in our dogs, she displayed interest in our home. We do our best to keep a nice home and Carol picked up on that. She provided updates on the various things she'd done around the house (sweeping, monitoring a puppy, an ant infestation (sorry Carol!)), she proactively addressed it all with aplomb. I can't say enough about Carol - and I don't even like writing this review because I want to keep her all to myself. ;) But, she's a gem and sharing the good in the world is always worth it.”


“Emily was AMAZING with our two dogs! Señor and Benji were not only properly cared for, but were loved and given lots of attention while we’re were away. Emily took care of our dogs and our home for 5 days and we cannot say enough about how happy we are with her! She sent pics of the dogs and even let our crazy chihuahua steal her blanket when he had 4 of his own! What a kind person, we feel so lucky to have met her through Rover and will definitely have her back when we need the boys to be cared for again!!”
“Kiah was incredible. Great communication, loving care for three aging doggies, and the house was spotless. I would book her again without hesitation. You and your pets will LOVE her warm and bubbly personality.”


About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to two pups of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My dogs have very different personalities, which has given me experience with both calm, easygoing dogs and larger, high-energy ones who need structure and engagement. I also have light experience with cats and am comfortable respecting their space and routines. Safety and consistency matter a lot to me. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and try to maintain your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Pauline (and Richard) were so easy to reach and while she was staying at our house we setup a WhatsApp so we could communicate and get pics from abroad! Olive (Doberman) just Loved her from the first moment they met and thru the entire stay. She had loads of exercise and walks and Pauline easily controlled her with the horses and chickens. Pauline learned how to care for a complicated property and when we returned we could not tell at all that they were staying here. We highly recommend Pauline without reservation! We have become friends and we are now going to meet up with Pauline and Richard at a dog friendly vineyard.”


“Simply wonderful with my furry children! My 4 month old papillon/chiweenie is so afraid of people but warmed up nicely with Jennifer’s amazing demeanor. I received pictures and updates and knew my pups were in good hands. I highly recommend Jennifer and would definitely use her again!”

I am however able to watch cats in my home! I'm able to check in on your living pets throughout the day and take your pup/pups on long walks. And spend quality time with her/him while you are away. Then of course there is belly scratching time or perhaps a game of catch. Your pup is sure to be spoiled by me! Also I am able to feed and water any other pets you may have while I am there. I would love to meet with you and your precious pup, for a walk around the block! I accept all types of doggies, kitties and such!! If you book with me, I will send you updates by skype/text/video and pictures. Whatever your preference. I just want you and your little one to feel safe and secure. We just adore animals of all kinds in our loving home. I am retired with adult children that live in another state, so I jabe plenty of free time to look in on your pet family! My pets are super friendly and adapt well to other animals, as we have been caring for other animals since we've had them. My cats are Tinkabell@ 15 yrs old, Sylvester @14yrs old, Debbie @5 years old ,and our Dog Dexter @14 yrs old!
“Robyn is fantastic! She took the time to get to know us and our dogs before the stay. She house and dog sat for us for 12 nights. She communicated every day and often, which is my preference. I love my fur babies and it’s hard to be away. Robyn did a wonderful job and the dogs adore her! Robyn also cleaned house and did the laundry- even though that wasn’t a requirement for us. She went above and beyond!! I highly recommend Robyn.”

“Nicki was wonderful! Was supportive of Jack's separation anxiety and let us know how he was doing. It was wonderful for us to know that he had a person who cared about keeping him calm and feeling secure and safe. Even the cats loved her! Looking forward to having her watch Jack in the future.”
