“Denise is the best! I was dreading leaving my dog and Denise reassured me before and during shortie’s stay. She sent me many updates. Shortie had a BLAST!!!!! I feel so much better now knowing that there is someone I can trust leaving shortie with. Thank you so much for taking care of Shortie!!!!!”
“Christina and Brennan were Great! Sent photos a videos everyday! They both love dogs and are so caring and kind!!! Thank you so much my Bella love being with you and Brennan!”
“This was my second time using Rover so there’s still some hesitation on my part. However, Kalikonani was amazing! I have a senior dog so knowing that she had a senior pup of her own, made me feel relieved that she’d understand my dog. She provided pics, updates, and was a great communicator. I definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future :)”
“Shannon and her family were awesome and took terrific care of my fur baby! I really enjoyed seeing all the photos and updates that I received during his stay showing what a great time he was having with their dog, and will definitely be using their services again!! Highly recommend! Thank you Shannon!”
“Citladi took exceptional care of Claire, making her right at home! She touched base and sent me a few photos but did not feel the need to be in constant contact with me which I appreciated. I felt great that Claire was having a fun, safe and comfortable stay!”
“Thanks Dilan! Scampi had a great time with Melody and thanks again for being so flexible with our pick up time. Overall everything went smooth on our end and we will definetly contact Dilan for future boarding needs. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was very active with Zoe and kept me informed throughout her entire stay. Her flexibility made my trip stress free and it was nice knowing Zoe was doing good the whole time. I am so grateful to have found her and will use her again in the future.”
“Brenden is amazing and took such great care of Mulligan! We were able to fully enjoy a wedding celebration knowing our dog was in great hands. Brenden took the dogs hiking and lots of play was had which was perfect to tire Mulligan out ahead of our 6 hour drive home. Highly recommend!!!”
“I will always, always, always choose Marion as a dog sitter. She continues to be amazing with Pippa, sends updates with pictures & has just the biggest heart for the dogs in her care. I could not recommend her enough!”
“If there is anyone that I would want to watch my dog while I was out of town it would be Chris (she’s also a local Vet tech). She took great care of my child/dog Aldo while I was gone for a few days. She always sent me pics of him having a great time at her house playing with the all the toys and her 2 dogs, always took him for walks, and gave him treats. He usually sleeps on his bed on the floor but when I came back he was sleeping on Chris’ bed... Now he sleeps in my bed every night since I picked Him up!! 5/5 stars and a great person too!”
“An amazing dog sitter! Left my 13yo dog, Pumpkin, with Asta for a week and she had a great time. I received so many pictures while I was on vacation so I knew Pumpkin was doing well and enjoying her time with Asta and her dog. I can't recommend her enough 😄”
“Carol was an incredible sitter during our trip! We felt so fortunate to leave our beloved and somewhat spoiled mini golden doodle, Augie, in the hands of both Annabelle and Carol. Their warmth and genuine care made all the difference for him. Augie was so happy and well-fed during his stay, which is quite an achievement given his picky eating habits! We would absolutely choose Carol again if given the chance. She was incredibly responsible with our precious pup and even accommodated us by allowing a late pickup. Thank you, Carol, for providing such a loving space for our furry Baby!”
“Kelly is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had!! Our pup was so spoiled with hikes, family play time, plenty of window watching, and he was even serenaded by her sons playing violin! Her fenced in backyard was perfect for outdoor time and our active Brittany spaniel absolutely loved the daily walks. Kelly was very attentive to our conversations beforehand and even set up a little window watching area for bird watching during the day. Kelly had excellent communication while we were away. It was always a delight getting a photo update from her as a little reminder that our dog was in great care. Thank you so much Kelly for doing this job so well! We appreciate you and your family! Our dog Elvin was sad to leave your house!”
“Athena was great with my dog, Donner! She was able to watch him with only a few days notice. Took him on walks and updated us with pictures. It was so nice for Donner to get all the attention being the only dog there. I will definitely be booking Donner for another stay in the future. Thank you so much Athena and Will for giving Donner the best care while we were on vacation!”
“Danae was a great sitter! I reached out to her last minute to take care of Wally and she responded quickly and positively. She spoiled Wally for the night she had him and Wally enjoyed his time with her and her dogs. Danae also sent lots of photos which I love. So happy I was able to find her. :)”
“Kristin was very easy to deal with very accommodating opening her home to our two pups. She and family took them for walks and made sure they were comfortable over night. We appreciated her caring.”
“Nina was an excellent and communicative sitter for my dog. She has a great yard and I think my dog already misses it! Nina’s dog Ranie is a great playmate and kindly shared her toys with my dog. I just moved to this area, so I feel really lucky to have found Nina right away!”
About: Although I have more cat experience, I would love the opportunity to become a dog sitter & work with diverse dog personalities. I have experience in the basic dog care such as feeding, walks, plays, and cleaning. I am eager to learn all routines and obligations that each dog owner would have for their pet. I am currently a stay at home momma, so I have more availability as I am not currently working. Weekends are my most beneficial availability, but can also help on a weekday too! I will be attentive to all the obligations that I need to fulfill while in a clients home. It us important to me to keep any trust that is given to me and do the best at my job with any animals.
“Jayla was amazing with my puppy Hastings! I’m so glad we were able to get her as a last minute booking. She was very communicative by sending me pictures and updates of my puppy throughout the day. I loved how she took Hastings out on little adventures. I would definitely book her again!”

Brenden is amazing and took such great care of Mulligan! We were able to fully enjoy a wedding celebration knowing our dog was in great hands. Brenden took the dogs hiking and lots of play was had which was perfect to tire Mulligan out ahead of our 6 hour drive home. Highly recommend!!!
If I could leave 10 stars, I would! Gino + Beans are the duo to love your pup like one of their own. I’m a new dog Mom to a 5 month old Pitty-mix, Rü. Gino took extra time out of his day to meet Rü and I before hand to calm my nerves, and for me to be there to introduce Rü to Beans (I felt like a mom sending their baby to camp for the first time 😂) Having Gino watch Rü felt like having a team mate; on board to implement Rü’s training, he followed my schedule/routine, and not only checked in with adorable photos but also checked in when he had minor concerns. This made me feel included and comforted, and not at all like I just dropped off my puppy with a stranger that I met on an app. Gino + Beans feel like family to me now, and I truly cannot sing their praises enough. Extra EXTRA stars for the cutest photo updates!
We are always happy to book our older dog with Tanya and Rob. They treat him wonderfully and send lots of updates, and we joke that our dog is going his own vacation during his stays. it’s a comfort to know that he is in good hands and having a nice time. Absolutely would recommend and book again!
We made our booking very last minute. Athena was away for the weekend so our dog ended up staying with her bf Will - they let us know before booking that it was just going to be Will- He was great - sweet to our dog, easy to communicate with, clean home and sent a photo of our happy pup.
This was my second time using Rover so there’s still some hesitation on my part. However, Kalikonani was amazing! I have a senior dog so knowing that she had a senior pup of her own, made me feel relieved that she’d understand my dog. She provided pics, updates, and was a great communicator. I definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again in the future :)
Ruthie had a great day with Kelly and her fur babies! Kelly is a sweet, compassionate and gentle person who we can tell loves all animals!! Ruthie was cared for and loved during her stay and slept exceptionally well when we brought her home. We think she was even a little bit lonely not having her fur buddies nearby. We will definitely book with Kelly again!!!!!!
Absolutely the best stay! My little buddy was pampered, treated and loved, I had a hard time getting him back into the car after I got back, He got lots of walks, naps and attention. He even got a bath. It’s hard for me to leave him but it feels like he’s getting a vacation every time he gets to stay with Jehan!!!
Judy did a great job with my corgi Lupin! Good communication, daily pictures and reports. I am often nervous leaving Lupin with new people, but Judy put my mind at ease. I knew Lupin had frequent access to the yard, and multiple choices of beds to nap in (which is how she likes it). Judy is my new go-to for dog-sitting.
