“As a senior with health concerns, my Twinkles doesn't get a lot of playtime and other activities that I would like him to enjoy as a young dog. I am so happy when I leave him with Te. He has a great time. He is so happy. I can tell by all the pics she sends. Te is amazing and Twinkles loves her. This is Twinkles's 3rd stay with Te.”


“Leaving Zeus with Angie was the best decision we made. She’s not just reliable—she’s warm, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. From the start, I could see how much she cared. She treated Zeus like he was part of her own family, and that level of care made all the difference. Zeus is a sensitive dog. He’s usually very shy, doesn’t warm up to strangers easily, and struggles with separation anxiety. He’s also not the most social when it comes to other animals. But somehow, Angie managed to connect with him. Within just a few days, I could see a shift. He looked relaxed, at ease, and even comfortable hanging around her cats, which is a first. Angie kept me updated every day with photos and videos. I never had to ask—she was always on top of it. I could tell he was happy, healthy, and in good hands. It honestly felt like Zeus was on his own vacation while we were away for 10 days. This was hands down the best experience we’ve had with a dog sitter. Angie is someone I’d trust again without a second thought.”


“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”


“I wish I could give 20 stars! Noelle and her family were the most thoughtful and loving people I could let babysit my puppy, Barney. She sent so many pictures and updates I had no worries he was in great hands. This was also my first experience using Rover, so I was also a little nervous, but once we dropped him off I could see how well cared for he would be. You can truly see how much her and her family love and care for the animals, Barney became one of her own for 2 nights. I could not thank her enough! If you’re looking for someone to look after your dog, Noelle was amazing and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asks!”


“I was anxious to leave my black cat with someone even just for the weekend but he’s such a social cat I didn’t have the heart to leave him alone. Rochelle was so sweet and indulged me when I asked how he was doing. She sent me pics and updates a few times a day. It made me rest easier during my work conference. Highly recommend.”


“David is absolutely wonderful. He is so kind and communicative— we always felt like our pup was in the best of hands and we felt such peace of mind — which is priceless. He sent fantastic and frequent photos and kept us up to date on the adventures of the day! He was even able to help us out with an unexpected cancelled flight situation. Bottom line — we can not recommend David enough!”


“Junaid and his fiancé were fabulous with Deedee! They shared photos frequently and kept us updated. Deedee was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely love to keep deedee with them again!”


“Kylie and her husband were amazing! So communicative and clearly cared so much for Mickey. Appreciate the flexibility and of course all the photos”


About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors and puppies. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like family. I’m comfortable with administering medications, following feeding and walking routines, and providing lots of affection. What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you're away. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow-paced walks, or just company on the couch, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible and consistent care throughout the day. I'm available for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Since I'm home most of the time, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention and affection. My schedule makes it easy to accommodate pets with special routines or needs, and I’m happy to adjust my day to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I offer a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I have two friendly, well-behaved dogs who love the company of new friends and help create a welcoming, social environment. I always monitor interactions to ensure everyone is getting along and feeling comfortable. If your dog prefers their own space or needs a break, I can provide crate accommodations upon request. I maintain a clean, calm, and loving environment where your pet will feel safe, happy, and cared for.

“Avraham was everything you’d ever want in a sitter. Kind, attentive, reliable, accommodating, trustworthy, quickly won over our pup. His photo and video updates not only kept us informed but also reassured us that Mochi was in great hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation. We couldn’t be happier with his care and will definitely book him again in the near future.”


“Very kind and helpful with lots of updates! Thankful we found him.”



“I can’t say enough about how caring and responsible Manuel is. When I drop off my dog, I always walk away felling confident that my dog is in good hands. Thank you Manuel for always being there for us.”



“Sal and Troy are THE BEST sitters we've ever known. Every time we leave our dogs with them, we don't worry about their well being- they are with family! They even took care of our little beasts when I went into labor last year: it took them just 30 minutes to respond to our stay inquiry and pick up the dogs! I don't know what we would do without them :) Thank you guys!”


“Amy was great with Remy - very responsive and sharing regular photos and status updates throughout the boarding. Thank you for taking great care of him!!”


“We had a great experience with Andrew and Ellen! Our dog had a great time playing with theirs. Drop off and pick up was easy. They were also extremely responsive. Would definitely use them again and would highly recommend!”


“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”


“Jessica took exceptional care of my dog Penny over 5 days while I was traveling for work. She was communicative and very thoughtful when it came to Penny’s picky eating habits. I couldn’t have asked for better care and I know Penny had an incredible time in her home. I will definitely book with Jessica again!”


“This is my second time using Emmanuela’s services and i could not be more happy. I had to book last minute and she was so understanding. The constant photo and video updates make my day and truly do give me peace at mind. If you’re looking for someone to watch your pup I would highly recommend! I will most definitely be using her again!”


“She's extremely caring and understanding! I've had her a few times already, and she always gives good advice! I highly recommend using her if you need to.”


“Eva & Tyler were excellent! They made sure our girls were well cared for and loved on while we were away in another state. They gave us a good amount of updates and pictures as well! They followed instructions and also were very caring about all of our requests. They were so wonderful with our girls - we would definitely love to have them take care of our girls again! Thank you kindly for everything!”
