“We can’t recommend Megan and Jenny enough. We booked an extended stay for our pup and they provided us with regular pictures and updates. Our dog came back happy and healthy, and we won’t hesitate to rebook in the future!”

“Kennia was exactly what any pet owner is looking for in a sitter. She showered my pup in love the moment we arrived easing his anxieties and sent daily updates throughout his stay. Would definitely book again!”

“Chad was great with our pups. It's such a relief to find a good sitter and Chad is one of those people! He has a great place with a big backyard and nice house for the dogs to romp around in. He was very communicative both during our meet and greet as well as during their first stay with him. One of our dogs is a bit skittish with people but warmed right up to Chad, which is a testament to him and his ability to make her feel at ease. We already have another date on the calendar with him. Highly recommended.”
“Lacey was fantastic with my very big & cuddly dog, who also has severe separation anxiety. He was clearly in good hands! Though it was only for one overnight we will definitely be working with Lacey & her family again!!”

“Mr. Badger had a great visit for a week with Erika while we were traveling. She took excellent care of Mr. B and sent great photos of their snuggle adventures during the week. We will definitely use Erika again.”

About: I am a veterinary technician with 16 years of experience providing skilled, compassionate care for pets of all ages. I specialize in senior and medically inclined pets, in-home boarding, medication administration, and creating a calm, safe, nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I work Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Pets are never left unattended for long periods, and if a pet needs to accompany me to work for continued care or supervision, I can safely accommodate this. Evenings, overnights, weekends, and Mondays are fully dedicated to pet care, boarding, medication administration, and attentive companionship I provide a safe, structured, and nurturing environment in my apartment with a large, secure outdoor courtyard for supervised exercise and enrichment. The building has elevators and multiple exit points, allowing for safe, controlled movement during potty breaks, walks, and emergencies. Pets are closely monitored at all times to ensure comfort, security, and well-being.
“Meagan took such wonderful care of our Kaya girl! She sent so many videos/pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout the whole stay. Kaya particularly loved playing with Rocko and the two seemed to have really bonded! All this made us feel so comfortable knowing she was in very good hands!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Ying! She took amazing care of our dog and kept us updated every day with photos and details about his walks and activities. Our dog is a picky eater, and she even went above and beyond to prepare homemade meals for him! What impressed us most was how happy and comfortable he was throughout his stay. He showed no signs of separation anxiety, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It’s clear that he absolutely adores her! Ying is incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Hikaru & John took amazing care of my fur baby. They asked for all his needs and give him ton of attention. They took him for walks and a hike so he can get his energy out. Appreciate them! And their care for my sweet fur baby. Highly recommend them.”

“They were a treat to work with! I was a little nervous leaving my 6-month-old Australian Shepherd because of how much energy and attention young Aussies require, but they exceeded all expectations. They took excellent care of him during his stay, including taking him on multiple hikes and making sure he got plenty of exercise and enrichment. It was clear when I got home that he was happy, healthy, and well cared for. I really appreciated the level of attention and care they provided, and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.”

“I could not be more pleased and appreciative of how well Kristen and Ryan took care of my Solo. This is the longest I have been out of town in a while and I wanted Solo to be in a comfortable and secure place and with people that will look after her as if she was their own. Kristen and Ryan did that for sure. They kept me well informed of how Solo was doing and it really looked like Solo enjoyed her time with them. I highly recommend Kristen and Ryan and will defiantly book any future pet sitting I need with them.”


“Chen and his family did a wonderful job taking care of Ume for the week. It was a last minute trip for me, so I was grateful for the quick response and many wonderful updates. He sent professional looking photos of my dog on their walks and daily routine. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will follow your dog's routine and communicate regularly, Chen's your dog sitter. His daughter was there to translate as well and that was helpful in person. I have already booked them for my next trip.”

“Meera was great and professional. She was very communicative and always sent photos of my dog the whole time, I really appreciate it. She was very sweet and gentle with jazz and took her on walks and hikes. I would recommend to anyone”


“Robyn was fantastic and took such good care of Kona while I was gone for a business trip. She shared multiple pictures every day, which was great since this is the first time I’ve left my dog with a sitter. So it was nice peace of mind. On the day of pickup I had some travel delays so I wasn’t able to commit to a pick up time, and Robyn was so great and flexible!”

“Len was fantastic! He took care of our pup Wisco after our last minute change of travel plans for 4th of July weekend. Our dog is older, had just started some medication, and also is afraid of fireworks (so not ideal to be away from home during 4th of July). That said, Len made sure to understand her sensitivities so he could create an environment where she felt safe/comfortable given the holiday weekend. He shared the cutest photos of her while we were away, and we came to a very happy dog. Would absolutely book with Len again.”

“Abigail was awesome and took great care of our almost 5 year old Havanese, Bailey. She was very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had. Her home and yard area were perfect. Bailey loved the extra walks and settled in nicely. We really appreciated all the photos and short videos Abigail sent letting us know Bailey was in excellent hands. We will definitely ask Abigail to watch Bailey the next time the need arises.”

“Mary was an amazing dog sitter for Yali! We received multiple updates each day with super cute pictures. We could tell how well Mary cared for him and incorporated him into her routine, taking him on errands and walks all over the neighborhood. She was very considerate during our initial meet and greet, knowing how to introduce herself and her dog to Yali. This helped him feel comfortable and welcome in her home. She was so kind and sweet to Yali and we are looking forward to booking with her again!”

Big thanks to Nate for watch our Bella. She is a very anxious, aging, but super sweet dog. Nate handled her with so much care. He even went as far as making her a homemade meal to help with her anxiety. This level of care is very much appreciated. We will definitely use him again!

Rosie had an incredible week with Luka and we can't recommend him highly enough! Luka clearly loves and understands dogs, and Rosie connected with him from the first moment of our meet-and-greet. Rosie was in heaven with so much outdoor time, great exercise, and undivided human attention. We loved the photos and daily communication about how their time was going. We're so glad we found Luka as our new go-to dogsitter!

Sharon took great care of my pup Mochi! She sent daily updates with pictures, and took him on a lot of fun outings. She spent a lot of time with me at drop off to carefully go over any of Mochi’s quirks, to make sure she could take good care of him. I would highly recommend Sharon!
Ben, Pria, and their kids are such wonderful dog sitters. By far the best experience we’ve had. From the moment we drop our dog off, to when we pick him up we know he’s in excellent care. Sometimes I feel they spoil our dog more than we do. Ben and Pria were also very flexible and understanding when my trip plans changed, and I had to pick up our dog early. I could not recommend them enough. If you want a loving family, who will take great care of your dog and leave you without worry, Ben, Pria, and their family should be your choice.

Adam and Vicky took excellent care of Daisy, along with their young pup Goose. I received updates frequently and was able to relax while away because Daisy was in good hands. Daisy got lots of outdoor time and was happy and healthy throughout her stay. Daisy has a ton of energy and was able to get the exercise she needed and great friendship from Goose. I recommend Adam and Vicky!!

I WAS FREAKING OUT! With fairly short notice, my usual options for taking care of my Witten, a 65lb Lab/Jindo mix were unavailable. I definitely didn't want to use a "dog hotel", so I decided to cancel my travel plans. But then a good friend sent me a link to Rover (which I had never heard of) along with a few dog sitter profiles that he thought looked like a good match for Witten. Monica was one of them, and his intuition about her turned out to be spot on. She responded quickly, and was very accomodating about arranging a meet and greet at her home. She and her partner, Benji both have a great energy and a presence which immediately made me start to feel comfortable. And Witten immediately started excitedly exploring their securely fenced-in backyard and making himself at home. Daily, they sent me pics and videos of Witten obviously having a doggone good happy time...in the backyard, on walks around the neightborhood, at parks. Along with insightful observations about Witten that told me they were truly spending time with him and doing more than just "dog sitting". I would have no hesitations about having them care for Witten again. And we are very happy to have them as part of our pack

Amber and Jason agreed to take our two pups for almost a month at very short notice. They returned to us happy and well. And that’s not easy as Fionn is a notorious poop eater and his stool gets gross and weird if that’s not monitored and Morgan has a chronic spine injury and her gait gets worse if she’s not kept from over exerting herself (she’s a classic Frenchie in that she has a high pain threshold, is stubborn and refuses to accept she needs to be careful!). We got numerous photos and got fast responses from them both any time we had a concern. We would not hesitate to use Amber and Jason again.
