“Yvonne was great with our dog Chopper. We couldn't take him with us for the holidays and after a desperate search for the right match, we chose to board him with Yvonne. We were quite anxious to leave him behind for a week but from the start Yvonne was very accommodating, reassuring and great at communicating before and during boarding plus she patiently guided us through our first experience with Rover. Yvonne's house is very clean, spacious and has an awesome enclosed yard and safe neighborhood for walks. Her lovely dog Ziggy kept Chopper company and overall the process felt like leaving our dog with a good friend. I can highly recommend trusting Yvonne with your dog.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. My family has always had dogs at home, and taking care of them has been one of my responsibilities. I also have experience with dog walking and caring for dogs through services like Rover. I have experience in feeding, administering oral medication, bathing, walking, and general care. I’m live in a second floor apartment within walking distance of a dog park, so it’s super easy to get out for exercise! I currently work full time, but I’m typically home on weekends for boarding. I have access to both a car and a bike, depending on the distance from home. I am very attentive to the needs of your pet. I customize my care based on what I learn from you, and how you typically care for your dog. If your dog needs a sweater for every walk or doesn’t like being let out at a certain time, I’ll take that into account.
“Alissa was great with Chutney. We got regular updates with videos. We had some last minute changes with pick up, Alissa was very flexible and we didn’t have to worry. Would definitely recommend her.”

“Juan was so great with my puppy. She gets excited now every time we pull up to his house. I was initially nervous since my puppy and I have never separated, but it’s been such a great experience for her and I know she looks forward to many more playdates and sleepovers!”

“Yaina is absolutely wonderful. She cared for Oscar like he was her own, going above and beyond to make sure he was safe, happy, and comfortable. I can't begin to describe how lucky I was to find her, and how responsible, caring, and genuine she is. If I could give her 10 stars I would.”

“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”

“Daniel was great. We reached out last minute and he was very accommodating. He responds very quickly and shared plenty of pictures of miso. Miso was exhausted after his 2 day sleepover. We highly recommend and will definitely use Daniel again.”

“My dog Nicolo has stayed with Karine and Ryan for a few short stays which always went well. Recently, he stayed for a week and it was such a great experience for him and for me. Nicolo socialized with the other small dogs. Karine and Ryan are such gentle people with great knowledge about dogs. He got his meds, lots of attention and affection. In addition to being kept safe and having his physical needs met, I feel he really benefits mentally from staying there and I am relaxed and not consumed with worry. Karine always kept me updated with texts and pictures and let me know of any issues. I hope to always leave Nicolo with Karine and Ryan when the need arises.”


“Wenxu, has sat for our pup twice now and both times has provided exceptional care. Very communicative and kept us updated on our pups experience everyday. Will definitely book again.”


“Julia was terrific! She and Bailey hit it off right away. Got a bunch of pics with Bailey out for a walk, playing with toys and a restful night sleep. Will use Julia again!”

“Sara was very good about replying to our texts prior to meeting her and also while our dogs were staying with her. We received daily updates and photos which was very comforting to us being away on a trip. The dogs certainly enjoyed their stay and the loving attention they got during their stay. They also had lots of exercise and playtime. Our dogs also got along well with Sara's dog, Phil. It's wonderful to have found a responsible and reliable dog sitter in Sara.”

“William was took care of our dogs and was intentional about making sure they had what they needed. He sent a video each day he had them and was great to talk to. Plenty of space for the pups and kids to play with them. We are grateful and would definitely work with him again!”

We used Samantha K. while visiting from out of town for a wedding, and we could not have been happier! It is always stressful leaving your pup in an unfamiliar city, but Samantha K gave us total peace of mind. We received regular updates and photos, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the wedding celebrations knowing our dog was in great hands. They were incredibly professional, flexible with our shifting schedule, and truly loved our dog like their own. We highly recommend Samantha K to anyone—local or traveling!"

Olivia was absolutely amazing with our dog Lacey while we were away for a few days. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt confident that Lacey was in caring, capable hands. Olivia clearly has a genuine love for animals—she sent us regular updates and the sweetest photos, and it was obvious that Lacey felt comfortable and happy with her. Communication was clear and consistent, and we never once had to worry. It’s such a comfort knowing that when we can’t be with our pets, there are incredible people like Olivia who care for them like their own. Truly a five-star experience—we’re so grateful!
