“This was the first time used Rover in many years, and first time with my current pup Gibby. I was a bit nervous leaving him with people we'd just met but my worry was wasted. Rizwan, Noor and their family took great care of my pup. He was walked multiple times a day, was showered with pets and was able to monitor their neighborhood from a perfect viewing spot. They kindly welcomed him (us) into their home for a very comfortable stay. Thank you Noor and Rizwan for taking such good care of Gibby.”

This was her first stay over 2 days, and I now feel comfortable about going on vacation again. We will definitely be reaching out to Andrea again in the future!”
“Amy and Lamar are beyond caring and treated our dog like he was one of their own. From the second we walked through the door, they went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt comfortable and was having fun! They provided updates with pictures throughout his stay and made sure he had the time of his life! They are responsive, professional, and trustworthy. I look forward to booking with Amy and Lamar in the future. I cannot recommend them enough!”
About: I have had a dog since I was a child and cannot imagine life without a pet! My experience in Pet care comes from taking care of my dogs and the dogs of my friends and family. I am looking forward to taking care of your beloved pet in our home! I am a kindergarten teacher that works 10 min from home. If a pup needs to go out at lunch time - that is an easy thing to do. I am home right around 4 every day to walk and feed as needed. I have a fenced in backyard for the pups to run around. I have an 8 yr old labradoodle that is friendly with and around other dogs.
“Lauren and her family took such good care of our dog Sawyer! This was our first time being away from our puppy so we were worried she was going to be scared, but she had so much fun playing with their dog Zoe while we were away. Lauren sent us pictures everyday to let us know how she was doing. By the time we got back, Sawyer was already attached to Lauren, Zoe, and the rest of the family.”
“Sandra and Sorin are amazing dog sitters. My senior dog had a gastrointestinal issue during his stay. They tried multiple food products to encourage him to eat. Ultimately, Sandra cooked chicken and rice, my dog’s preferred meal when he is sick. Sandra and Sorin also pampered my dog when they suspected pain in his right hind leg. They are incredibly diligent and loving sitters. I am grateful for the extraordinary care they provided to my little boy.”
“Merrick was great for my pup and i. We were able to drop her off after a single meet and greet for a couple of weeks and based on daily pics and vids, she had a great time. She was taken care of, had another pup to play out in the backyard with as well as play tug of war. I will definitely book with Merrick again!”
“Great sitter! Very attentive and communicative! Tino got along great with the other dogs and kids, and had a wonderful time! Would highly recommend and book again!”
“Kaz and Akemi recently took care of our two dogs and we could not be happier with the care they received. We received multiple updates daily with pictures and videos. They obviously love dogs and made them feel at home right away. We would not hesitate to use them again!”

“They have a wonderful set up with the backyard for the dogs to run around in and they sent me pictures very frequently so I knew that my Zuzu was very happy there”
“My bichon poodle could not have been happier to be around other small pups during her visit over spring break. Diana even gave my dog fresh dog food when my dog wasn’t eating at all. Seems like my pup was so happy during her stay! Will book again! Thanks Diana.”
“Rima is so kind and patient. We received photos of our pups daily and they seemed to have a small adjustment but in the end they seemed like they enjoyed themselves. Rima is flexible and she made the process smooth and effortless. Thank you, Rima!”
“Monika was a comforting and dear communicator. I got lots of text and photo updates, and frankly, my dog didn't want to come back home to his single dog life- he was in heaven the four days he spent with her and her other visiting dogs as well as her precious Collie, Peanut.”
