“Jieun and Matt were absolutely wonderful! They took great care of our Louie and sent us amazing photo and video updates throughout his stay with them. We really appreciated their communication and updates, which made us feel at ease knowing Louie was having a great time in their care. He also loved playing with their pup and we were so happy he had another furry friend to hang with! Thank you and will definitely book again!”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful with my Hughie! She sent me pictures and videos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Hughie looked so happy, relaxed, and playful—he even made some new doggy friends during his stay! It was clear that he was treated like part of the family and really enjoyed himself. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I highly recommend Skarlett for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She took care of my dog Kingston for the third time and did a fantastic job. Skarlett was attentive, responsible, and made sure Kingston was happy and comfortable while I was away. I received daily pictures and videos. I'm grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Karina kept me updated with photos daily and she took such good care of Nilla who can be a bit reactive/fearful at times. Karina assured me she would take extra care and Nilla left happy!”
“Gulsah was amazing! She took care of our Mango as if he were her own. He had such a wonderful time and looked so happy throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the almost daily photos and updates—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It truly looked like Mango was living his best life for the week! Gulsah will absolutely be our top choice for future sitting, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Mango.”
“Hannah is the best cat sitter I've ever had! I was very nervous about boarding my cat for over 3 weeks while we were away on a trip, but Hannah made it easy. She sent constant updates and photos to put my mind at ease, and clearly took amazing care of my cat. I love that my cat had her own separate space and that Hannah works from home, so she was able to spend a lot of time with my cat. My cat also came home with some new toys, which was a nice surprise. I will definitely be booking Hannah again the next time we go away. Thank you so much, Hannah!”
“Henry has stayed with Brianna two or three times now, and I'll continue to rebook with her! When we dropped him off for this stay, he recognized where he was and was very excited to be there.”
“Bruce was so great watching our two pups the week we went away. One of our dogs is epileptic and requires special treatment, including medication multiple times a day. Bruce continuously updated me every time she was given her medication and restroom breaks along with pictures of both of the dogs. He made my time away on vacation as less stressful as can be being away from my dogs.”
About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.
“Our St. Bernard puppy had a blast at Gwynne’s! We got regular updates with lots of pictures and felt great knowing how much love she was getting while we were away. Looking forward to having Ellie stay again in the future!”
“Noemi and David were absolute amazing hosts. They were able to accommodate me last minute and were very communicative during Teddys stay. They have a a sweet, friendly family who truly love the pets that stay here. I recommend these hosts. 10/10”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable dog lover who works from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I’m patient, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and committed to making every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Since I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have flexibility for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, loving care with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My home also has a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time.
“She was efficient and extremely nice and I can definitely tell Pepper had fun. Will definitely recommend her services again and will definitely be booking again. I’ve already told my friends who are pet owners”
“We had a fantastic experience! Kayla took such great care of our dog, Soren — it was clear from the start that she is kind, attentive, and genuinely love animals. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. In fact, I think he’s missing her! We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with Kayla again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and have always loved animals. I’m currently a proud dog and cat owner, so I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to have someone trustworthy care for them. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and will treat your animals like they’re my own. I’m a single stay at home mom, so I have lots of time to care for and walk your beloved pets ! I drop my kids at school in the mornings and pick them up in the afternoon, so my availability is very flexible ! I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life! I grew up with dogs, cats, and just about every caged animal you can think of. I currently have a 3-year-old Maltipoo and a 5-year-old cat, so I understand how much our pets mean to us!

Goose had such a fantastic weekend with Lacy!! It was his first time spending more than one night away from home, and she made him feel so welcome and comfortable. We were blown away by her attention to detail and all of the fun activities she planned for him & included him in. We were 100% confident that Goose was safe and happy the entire time we were away, and we would book another stay with Lacy in a heartbeat!
We were looking for a new pet sitter after our previous one moved out of town. Gaileen’s calm and friendly personality and her excellent care for our dog during a recent trial stay has put my worries to rest. She sent regular updates, followed my dog’s routine, and was super easy to communicate with. We will definitely be boarding with her again in the future.
They did doggy day care for my two pups four days in a row while I was out of town and the girls loved it. Got plenty of pics of the girls cuddling with their kids and going for walks. After the first day, they would run up the steps super excited to go in when they realized where they were!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our furry family member! We really appreciated the daily photo updates—they gave us peace of mind and made us smile while we were away. I’m sorry the nights weren’t perfect, but we truly appreciate all of your patience and care. We will definitely be reaching out to you again for our future pet care needs. Thank you again for everything!
Andrew took wonderful care of our dog, Richie. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure Richie felt comfortable and happy throughout the day. We received lots of photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how much fun Richie was having. It was clear that Richie had a stress-free, enjoyable day filled with attention, playtime, and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would be happy to leave our dog with him again!
Yi Jia has been so great with Moxi. We had just moved here and feel really lucky we found her. She always makes sure Moxi is comfortable when we drop her off, and Moxi gets so excited every time she sees her. We can tell she loves hanging out at Yi Jia’s house. She’s also super responsive and sends us updates, which we really appreciate. One time we had a last minute emergency and needed Moxi to stay an extra day, and Yi Jia was so kind and flexible about it. It’s really nice knowing Moxi is happy and in good hands with her.
I highly recommend Ariana! I had to book a sitter for my senior dog almost last minute and found Ariana. We met before I went away and liked her immediately. My dog is mostly blind and deaf and Ariana assured me she’s taken care of senior dogs before. Ariana did a great job with her. I received morning and evening updates along with pictures and videos. I’m very glad Ariana took care of her, she did a great job! I would definitely use Ariana again. Thanks!
Nicholas and Mary Ellen were more than wonderful! Right from our initial meeting them both we knew we'd have a great experience with them! They were very attentive with our dog at the meet and great, and so very understanding of our dog's needs. We were at ease right away. And our dog took to them and their home immediately...she just seemed very comfortable with them and in their home. By the end of the meet and great we knew this would be a great match, and we felt confident leaving our dog with them. (We have a senior dog with some special needs who we adopted 2 years ago, and we're always a little nervous leaving her hoping she doesn't think she's been left again.) Upon picking up our dog we could tell she had been both well loved and well taken care of, and we felt that Nicholas and Mary Ellen really enjoyed their time with our dog. We will most definitely use Nicholas and Mary Ellen again!
It was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous about leaving my two dogs with someone new, especially over night! Our Meet & Greet with Amanda put my worries to rest right away! I was confident they would be cared for. She sent me lots of photos & videos throughout their stay and my girls were very happy there. I will definitely be reaching out next time I need someone to watch my dogs!
Connor did an AMAZING job with my pup, Harley. He was very professional, showed me around his place during the meet-n-greet, and then was attentive and kind during the stay, ensuring I got regular updates and pictures. Harley (my pup) enjoyed herself too! I absolutely will rebook with him in the future.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Milford home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
