“Andrea and Paul looked after our Lola and couldn't have been better. Welcoming, competent and loving with our dog. Their home is beautiful and clean and they were very responsive and easy communicators, and clearly experienced. Grateful to have them so close by.”
“Janis and family did a fantastic job in making my dog, Cubbie, feel welcomed and well taken care of. I received daily photos in which I could tell that she was happy and enjoying her stay, unlike the times I took her to an Animal Hospital for boarding. I highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a great stay for your fur baby!!!”

“Shawne was so great with our girl! We were nervous about leaving her for the first time, but she got lots of walks and attention from Shawne.”
“Patricia was wonderful to Fiona and Seamus. Her hospitality and warmth made them right at home. They enjoyed the sunshine in her spacious backyard and made them feel right at home. The daily photos helped us keep up with the lovely times they had. She really got to know their funny antics that we so enjoy about them! We highly recommend her and will use her again in the future.”
“First time using Rover and I couldn’t be more happy with the entire experience. Jordan is absolutely amazing!

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
“We are so happy to have found Nancy and Mark. Our dog has stayed with them for 2 extended visits and has been well cared for. Our dog is quite anxious and not a good walker so having a small fenced in area to let her out is great. Nancy is very communicative during the stay and sends photo updates. We will continue to use for sure!”
“I was a little leery to leave my dog with a total stranger even though he adjusts very easily. As soon as we met Lilliana I could see that thing's would be ok. Jack adjusted to her and the surrounding's very easily and I felt very confident leaving him with her. I highly recommend her.”
“What a wonderful Rover experience for us and for our dog! Mary Anne is a dog lover who treated our pup like royalty. We would use her service again and we recommend her without reservation.”
“Shirley (& her husband) did a great job taking care of Luna for a long weekend! Her dog, Tonya, is super sweet and mellow. I appreciated the updates and pictures letting me know all was good! I wouldn't hesitate to have Luna stay there again!”
“Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.”
“Molly was great and we hope to work with her again!”
“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Our Aussie Pup had a great day with Lindsey, Michael and Lucy. Our pup is a 6 month old tireless delinquent and slept for the better part of 24 hours after a 6 hour visit. She had an awesome time, and Lindsey did a great job of keeping us informed of all that was planned for the dogs. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job for us and our family member! Highly recommended!”
About: I've had my own dogs since I was 4, so I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, understanding their needs, and ensuring they're happy and healthy. I'm currently working part-time so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet sitting, ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need throughout the day/week. I'll follow any specific instructions given by the pet owners, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure pets are comfortable and happy by sticking to their routines.
“Willow is great. This is my second time leaving my pup with her. Willow is great about communicating- quick to respond and I love getting regular updates while I’m away. I know my dog is well loved and cared for with Willow”
