This time, Milena came at our house and provided a top service, taking great care of our puppies for 4 days, with lots of cuddles, care, pictures and love! Thank you so much pnce again! Will for sure call you again for future!”

“Andrew was fantastic with our senior dog for an overnight stay. He was very kind and communicative and I felt at ease with him watching our dog. Would definitely recommend him!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I genuinely consider myself a dog whisperer- dogs tend to gravitate towards me, even the shy and anxious ones. Over the years, I’ve cared for dog of all sizes and energy levels, and I pride myself on creating a calm, nurturing and loving environment where they feel happy and safe. Whether it’s a walk, playtime or just quiet companionship, I tune into each dog’s unique personality and needs. I work a 9-5 hybrid job, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care in the evenings and on the weekends. This works well for pet parents heading out for dinner, date nights, or weekend getaways. I’m reliable, responsive and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. My Shih-poo is my pride and joy - he goes everywhere with me, even in the office! I treat him like a member of the family, and I extend that same love and care to every pet. I maintain a calm, clean and pet friendly environment, where animals feel safe and loved. I’ve even trained my pup to use communication buttons and speak to him in full sentences! So I’m very tuned into a dog’s needs and emotions whether it’s playtime, cuddles or companionship and make sure each dog feels right at home.
“Molly and her husband were great, they took care of our two dogs while we were away for a few days and made sure they were pampered and stayed healthy. They also left our place clean and went the extra mile to get our puppy some extra food when he ran out of it. Highly recommend!”


“I loved Marlitta! She did an awesome job caring for our dog! I loved how she kept us updated about literally everything that was going on with our dog each time she came to our home. She also did an excellent job caring for our dog even when he had an accident. This was my first time using Rover and Marlitta made me feel good and safe about coming into my home and she has shown that she is very flexible. Overall I only have good things to say and I will be using her in the future. I want to make her my permanent dog sitter.”

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.
“Jestine was amazing! She took such good care of Stubs and the house and gave updates throughout the stay. Jestine is so thoughtful and sweet and truly understands the needs of animals. Highly recommend and will be booking her for future stays. Thanks!”
