“This was our first time using Rover and leaving Watson with someone while we were away for a few days. Christi and Peter did a good job caring for Watson and he seemed to enjoy his time with them. We were very concerned leaving him somewhere because he is a rescue and is nervous and shy but they said he did well with them and their dog Reesie. We would definitely reach out and use Christi and Peter again if we needed someone to watch Watson while we were away. Thank you”


“Samantha is great dog sitter! She took great care of my senior dog, Apollo. Highly recommend her services, especially if you want peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands!”

“I’m speechless! Shelleen is a godsend! I recently moved to the area and was nervous about trying a new sitter but she has exceeded all my expectations and my anxious dog was very comfortable and happy staying with her. I received lots of updates and advice and can’t wait to use her services again! Very professional, patient and accommodating to our needs.”


“I’m so glad I found Mary Jo! I needed a last minute overnight sitter for my dog Betty and Mary Jo was very responsive right away. She sent me regular updates and pictures the whole time. I was anxious leaving my dog with someone new on such short notice, but Mary Jo put me at ease. Betty was clearly very happy and comfortable with her! I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”


About: I treat every pet like my own. With lots of love, patience, and lots of playtime! I’m pretty flexible if you need someone last minute. I’m a personal trainer which lets me have a very flexible schedule. I’ve had pets my whole life and often help friends and family with their pets while away or at work. I care for every pet like they’re are my own. I can care for your pet in your home or in my home depending on the size of your pet. I have cared for all sizes of animals and even newborn puppies.

“Natalia was an incredible dog sitter for our dog Tino. She always sent updates and pictures throughout the whole week . I could tell my dog enjoyed her company so much !! I definitely recommend her and will be using her for our next trip! Thanks so much Natalia !!”


“Dana, Nicholas and their two sweet daughters were the perfect fit for my dog Lady to stay with while I was away. They are kind, responsible, and very caring. Lady loved their backyard too! Will definitely have her stay with them again :)”


“Michael and Danielle were wonderful with Wally. Drop off and pick up was really easy. Their home is beautiful and they have a fenced in yard where Wally could run around with their dog Jet. We received daily updates with lots of photos of Wally enjoying herself. We would definitely trust them with Wally again! Thank you!”


“Kayla was amazing with our little dog—she sent regular updates and pictures, she welcomed him into their family, and gave him the same kind of attention that we do at home! We will definitely use her again!”


“Megan took the absolute BEST care of our dogs while we were on a weeklong trip. She was so warm and welcoming when we did meet and greet, and the dogs were so excited to see her when we returned. Megan kept us updated throughout the entire trip, and sent tons of photos. We could tell that the dogs were having a great time, and were loved and given tons of attention (she sent us a few photos of them, all cuddling on the couch, which made us so happy.) Would highly recommend booking Megan, and we definitely will again!”


About: My home was set up for an 80lb dog with a fenced in yard and areas around the house. Should be very comfortable for any dog. I’m very attentive to the pets, making sure their needs are met and that they are safe and sound. When I take on a job, my schedule is pretty cleared out for it since I’m a retired person. I can schedule my time around the care of your pet. I care for pets in my home by keeping an eye on them. Taking them out into the fenced yard and walking them twice a day. If they like to play fetch or tug I’ll do that with them too. I keep them fed, watered, exercised and rested.

“Heather was amazing with Finn! We didn’t have to worry about a thing. She was also flexible with pick up and drop off times. We were so appreciative of her care of our pup. 🐶💕”
