“Katie is an excellent sitter! I highly recommend booking her. I appreciate how flexible she is about logistics. First, I accidentally sent Katie to the wrong address to pick up my dog. She was patient and understanding about the mistake. Then, last minute I had to extend the booking one additional day due to travel delays, which Katie accepted without issue. Katie also communicates well. She responds quickly, and sends regular updates about your pet. We will definitely book Katie again!”

“nathan was so great with our 3.5 month old puppy. this was our first time with nathan and i could tell immediately at drop off that our puppy would be in good hands. he was enthusiastic and loving. and kept us updated throughout the day.”

“Charlie and Cooper thoroughly enjoyed their vacation at Katrina’s. They were well cared for and Katrina sent me photos and a recap of their activities every day. I was really impressed! She really cares for animals and it shows. I will definitely send these boys back to her place when we go out of town again! 5 stars!!!”

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my dog, Izzy. Beata’s home is very dog friendly and her schedule allowed her to be with Izzy basically 24/7. Beata went out of her way to make sure both Izzy and myself were comfortable in her home and with her plans for the stay. She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout Izzy’s stay and was very responsive.”

“John and Ryan were the best!! They were able to watch Wilson somewhat last minute and were so easy to work with. Sent lots of updates and pics, Wilson had the BEST TIME, I think he was sad to return lol. Thank you guys!!”


“Steven & Amanda have elevated pet boarding into an art form. The hospitality and care that they administered to my puppy would make one question if they’re an extension of Ritz Carlton. True luxury care. They treated my puppy as if she was their own and she truly adored them. My dog is a cavachon and she is very skiddish, however she warmed up to them quickly. Multiple pictures were sent of her laying in Amanda’s & Steven’s lap completely enamored with them. I know that she felt right at home! Amanda & Steven are now our extended family, and I don’t trust anyone more with my dog. The sweetest couple!”

“Chad and his wife were wonderful! This was our first time having them watch our high energy dog, and we will definitely be booking again! They took such great care of Finly - daily walks and even treat/ training time! We loved the regular updates, including photos and video throughout his stay. Thanks again, both! Finly so appreciated all of your care and play time!!”

“Sam took great care of my boy Kimi when I was out of town. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and videos! She made sure Kimi stayed warm when snow storm hit and made Kimi felt like being at home. Would definitely choose Sam again if I need a sitter in the future!”

“Keit took great care of Bumi while we were away for a long weekend. He has some back issues and Keit was great about carrying him up and down the stairs.”

“Ksenia took fantastic care of our dog Alfie! She was super attentive to him and sent us lots of updates during his stay. He also got along really well with her pup! Would definitely board Ksenia again!”

“Andrea took great care of my dog for 5 days and I had a really positive experience. Communication was great the whole time, she was very sweet, and my dog seemed like she had a great time with her. She was also super thoughtful and flexible, she even offered to do drop-off for me, which I really appreciated. She also noticed my dog was running low on food and reached out right away to ask if it was okay to ration it, which I appreciated because it showed she was paying close attention and wanted to make sure everything was handled properly. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Julia, Paul, and family were amazing! They were great communicators, made sure they understood our dog’s needs, and kept us updated with pictures. Muesli clearly didn’t want to leave—he cried when I picked him up! We would be more than happy to have Julia & Paul watch Muesli in the future :)”


“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him again.”

“Audrey doted on Roscoe and he had a blast staying with her while I was out of town. Roscoe has insisted that she is our PRIMARY Rover friend. And she kept Dad well stocked with fun pictures and videos while I was missing my guy! 🙌”
“I was so lucky to find Lauren and Stephen (and of course their adorable dog Buster)! I had last minute travel plans and Lauren replied quickly to my request. She was kind enough to meet before the boarding period and show me where my girls would be staying. When I picked up my pups, they seemed so happy and confident. It was clear they had a lot of fun and were given lots of love. They sent multiple photos every day and updated on their plans. I unfortunately had an emergency and had to come home a day earlier. They were so accommodating and kind. I would 100% recommend Lauren and Stephen to any friend in need of a reliable pet sitter (in fact I just shared their link with one!) Thank you!”

“Birdie had a great stay with Cecile! She was even able to meet her before her stay, which was ideal! It was very clear that Birdie was well cared for and happy the whole time. I’d absolutely trust Cecile with Birdie again! 🐾😊”


“Ashley goes above and beyond for pets & their owners- dog parks, long walks, frequent updates, pictures & more! My dog can be a little anxious and he feels so comfortable with Ashley, which is a real testament to her care. Ashley has watched my dog for up to two weeks and it’s a relief to have him in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her services!”

About: I truly believe dogs have a special way of healing people. As someone who enjoys meaningful experiences and companionship, I love spending time with them and playing together. I go out several times a day and really appreciate the feeling of being outdoors and sharing that time with a dog. Whenever I see someone walking their dog, it always makes me happy. As a college student, I’m not able to have a dog of my own right now, but I would love the opportunity to spend time with and care for one. Even though I’m still gaining experience, I’m very attentive and willing to learn every detail to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m available to take care of dogs full-time from Friday to Sunday. During weekdays, I’m also available after 3:00 PM once my classes are finished. After class, I would be happy to take dogs out for walks, play with them, and spend quality time together. I enjoy being outdoors and making sure dogs get enough exercise and attention. live alone and spend most of my time at home when I’m not at school, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. During weekdays I’m usually away for classes for no more than six hours at a time. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a designated dog run area, so dogs can always go outside and get exercise even when the weather isn’t ideal. I’ll make sure they have regular walks, playtime, and a comfortable place to relax.

Emily took great care of Molly during a very difficult time for us and flor Molly. She had to have bladder surgery the day after her stay and needed to wear diapers in the house. Emily and her partner were so sweet and reassuring. We will definitely be booking with Emily again!
