“Lauren was great with Rupert. She sent multiple pictures and videos during his stay. Her dog Lila seemed like a perfect play match. See you around the neighborhood. Thanks again for accommodating on short notice! A+”


“Matthew is INCREDIBLE!!! We had several cancelled/delayed flights and kept pushing back our pick up time for our pup. He was truly a pleasure to work with and very flexible. Couldn’t recommend enough.”


“Fantastic. Exceptional. David is a true dog lover who treated Elle wonderfully. She definitely has a new BFF in David. He is my “go to” sitter par excellence! He had her on a terrific eating, walking and playing schedule and kept me posted with photos and commentary so that I knew my girl was having a great time while I was away. If there were a rating above 5 star he would receive it from me.”


“Kira was amazing!!! Her and her kids were an absolute blessing for our dog, arie. He loved being with them:) Kira also sent pictures of arie frequently, which was very reassuring. Communication was quick and so easy!!”

“Christina is wonderful and did such a good job with my pup! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking request while we were traveling and I wish we lived closer to use her regularly for care!”


“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.”


“Nitasha & Neerav are 5 star sitters and our dog Bluey loves them! They are excellent dog carers, very prompt with their responses (<5 min ) and share constant videos and messages throughout the day. Our dog absolutely loved her 5+ day stay with them and will be back soon!”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my dog! Janice was amazing from start to finish. She stayed with him and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which made me feel calm and relaxed knowing he was in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and I came home to a very happy pup. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”


“My dog was happy in the moment she met Ninoska, very friendly environment and very nice people, I knew how Luna was doing every day, Ninoska was very kind and made Luna feel at home, would 100% recommend to my friends and return for next time 💯”


“Walter & Katherine watched my 15 yr old maltipoo for a few days when I was away for work. They took such good care of her, sent frequent updates and even washed her bed for me. I would not hesitate to book with them again! 10/10, highly recommend.”


“Gracie was well taken care of with Jessica. She sent daily morning and evening photos so we could see our furbaby. She was quick to respond to us when we sent messages. I would recommend her. I intend to use her again when we are in the area.”


“Rochelle did a great job boarding our two cats for two weeks while we had some work being done at our house. Her setup is great - she works from home, so they aren't alone most of the day. Professional and accommodating. Clearly loves cats and sent daily pictures. I'd absolutely recommend her services!”


“Neide showered our pups with so much tender love and care while we were away. She even took them to the park daily to give them off leash time. We appreciated the daily updates she shared with us. She is responsive, responsible, and we would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a home away from home.”


“Koryn did such an amazinggg job watching Romina. This is my first time leaving my dog with someone ever she made the process very smooth and was very reassuring. She updated us with pictures and videos regularly showing Romina having a great time. Overall highly recommend her and her services 🤗. Got Romina back healthy and happy with the bonus of a goodbye treat.”


“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”


“Sridevi and her husband were great! Took great care of our lab, including providing cooked meal as per his schedule. Very easy communication and timely updates, with lots of pictures and videos that kept us up to date on his whereabouts. I would gladly refer her and use services again as needed.”


“Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.”

“Enrique is excellent! He was incredibly caring and attentive to Joey’s needs. Every day, we received updates without asking. He also proactively asked about Joey’s preferences and routine. From the wear on Joey’s nails, it’s clear that he got long and consistent walks every day! We’re so grateful for the care and attention Joey received — highly recommend!”


About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I give to every pet—whether it’s teaching a curious puppy the basics, keeping a senior pet comfortable and happy, or making sure shy animals feel safe and loved. With me, your pet gets more than just supervision—they get patience, attention, and a whole lot of tail wags. Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I plan my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and playtime, and I dedicate my weekends to extra bonding activities, training, and outdoor adventures. I keep a reliable schedule so pets always know what to expect, and I make sure they get consistent love and attention no matter how busy the day gets. I provide safe, loving, and consistent care—whether in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s routine, ensure fresh water, timely meals, exercise, and plenty of affection so they feel happy and secure.
