“My dog Pippin's stay with Lorraine was excellent! She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures which were fun to see. Pippin was very comfortable in her home and enjoyed the walks and lots of ball retrieving :) I highly recommend Lorraine!”

“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”

“Mike and Joanna were absolutely amazing! I needed last-minute care for my dog, and they responded almost instantly. From the start, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It was clear that my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really surprised me was that they even sent my dog home with free gifts — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, especially for such a short stay! I can’t recommend Mike and Joanna enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you both for going above and beyond!”


“Angelica took great care of my dog Daisy. I received constant update pictures and video clips of Daisy. I would definitely recommend her boarding services. Great job!!!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves. Daily and evening care including walks, feedings, playmate, bath time and bed time with any other activities including the dog park when availabe based on weathe. Pets are free to roam while I am home and crated when I need to run errands. They are treated like the rest of the family.
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”

“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”

“Katherine and family are great! Aspen was in the best of hands. So happy and relaxed at their home. Aspen did get a little muddy, but Katherine made sure she was all clean when I picked her up. Appreciate you so! Many, many thanks for taking such good care of Aspen!”

“Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!”
“We had a great experience with Tamara! She is very communicative, responsive, and flexible when needed. Winnie and Otis loved playing with Maggie. You can trust your pets will be in good care with Tamara!”

“Barbara is an absolutely amazing person! So kind and caring! You can tell how much she loves animals and really treated mine with amazing love. I needed somebody at the last minute, for a work trip, to watch my 16-year-old Bichon with many health issues and medications. She readily accepted and had zero issues providing him the care that he needed. He quickly settled into her place, next to her own dogs. Lots of very cute photos throughout my one day trip! Communication with Barbara was easy, timely, and she was incredibly flexible when I needed to change things up on her a little bit at the last minute. I look forward to using Barbara in the future!”

“Michelle and Otavio took very good care of my little dog. I felt so comfortable having him stay with them and have already asked them to take care of him while we go on an extended stay!”

“Eniya is very nice. She clearly likes dogs and enjoyed having our fury baby. He came back happy. She was very fast to respond to communications. She was VERY flexible with pick up and drop off, which was greatly appreciated. I would have appreciated more check ins from her, with pics, to tell us how he’s doing.”

“Shirley is the BEST. She cared for our kitten with multiple congenital issues (cleft palate & twisted back legs) and accommodated her litterbox & play area to fit her mobility needs, along with tube feeding her by hand. I can tell she truly cares for animals and looks out for both pets and owners. She went above & beyond in consulting her veterinary knowledge from working in a specialty clinic to make it easier for us as owners to care for our Callie & plan for all her needs in the future. I got so many updates & pics/videos of Callie over the weekend, & we couldn't stop talking about how grateful we were she was spending the night with Shirley. We send love & thanks!!!”

“I cannot recommend Bailey enough! I was out of the country for a week, with little to no signal, and Bailey still managed to keep me updated as much as she could. My dog, Leo, wasn't eating alot in the beginning and Bailey did everything she could to get him eat and gave him a bath or two after rolling he rolled in poop lol. It was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I came across her profile! Also, it was a last minute booking and she was able to accept Leo. Thank you, Bailey, for taking care of Leo as if he was your own pup. I know he misses you! Will definitely be rebooking!”

Barbara was amazing with our little pup, Brucie. She is quick with communication, so caring, and you can tell that she really loves (and knows!) dogs. We got many pictures and updates throughout the day and Brucie always looked happy. Highly recommend. We will use Barbara again in the future.

Pax had such a fun time at Karen’s house! They played a lot of frisbee and she had tons of toys for him to play with. Karen was super on top of things, very kind, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! Pax seemed completely at home and totally at ease there. Thank you Karen!!

Bailey was so nice and easy to work with, and super great with our pug! She definitely went above and beyond to give him good care. Her communication is great and she was even able to take care of an unruly nail we’ve been struggling with, which shows that Bailey is truly a dog whisperer. We’ll be calling her again. Thanks Bailey!

I recently had a 2½‑week vacation planned and was nervous about leaving my anxious dog, Teddy, for the first time. Angelina was incredibly accommodating and thoughtful from the very beginning. We arranged a couple of day visits and a few overnight stays ahead of my trip so Teddy could slowly adjust to her home and routine. Angelina was wonderfully attentive to Teddy’s needs, especially with feeding—he’s a picky eater, and she went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and eating well. By the third visit, Teddy was running happily to her door, tail wagging, and that’s when I knew I had found the perfect person to care for him. While I was away, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Teddy had a blast playing with the other dogs, and I can tell he truly misses them! I highly recommend Angelina to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and reliable sitter. She made a stressful situation feel easy, and Teddy absolutely adored her. 💙🐶💙

Absolutely wonderful experience. She was incredibly accommodating when we needed last-minute care for our dog during our anniversary trip, and she made the entire process easy and stress-free. From the start she was responsive, kind, and clearly very experienced with dogs. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. She also kept us updated, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful she was able to help us on short notice and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Jaqueline was super accommodating when my partner and I needed a last minute sitter for our high energy dog. We were worried about her being around other dogs, but she and Casper had zero issues together. Jacqueline sent us photos throughout our 10 day trip and provided updates that really made us feel okay leaving her with someone, especially since she has anxiety issues. She calmed down after only a day or so and felt very comfortable with Jacqueline. We would definitely rebook with her if we need another sitter.

We recently boarded our dog Floyd and had an amazing experience. Jasmin went above and beyond. We received daily pictures and videos, and she communicated everything related to Floyd so we always felt at ease. It was clear he was well taken care of and comfortable the entire time. We would absolutely recommend Jasmin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog boarding provider, and we will definitely board with her again. 🐾
