“Chole is great! She has taken care of our dog multiple times on short notice. She communicates & is on time. Sends pictures and we will continue to use her! Highly recommended”
“Linnea was very responsive and helpful when things did not go exactly to plan. One of my dogs is prone to accidents and she did a good job cleaning those up as they occurred. She also helped when one of my dogs was digging a hole under the fence. She was kind, responsive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs. She followed instructions well for their care and I can wholeheartedly recommend her for drop in appointments!”

“Eronda was such a caring and loving person whit my maxis, I’m sure they loved to spend this time whit her. She send me updates and pictures everyday after a walk and I can say they were calm, pampered and very happy. Thank you so much Eronda, there’s no better feeling than to know your furry babies are safe and having some love ❤️.”

“Abigail was awesome and I’m so happy my kitties loved her as much as she loved them. My shy one even came out to play which is a big deal!! Very responsive when I had random things come up and was very personable as well. Will definitely be using again!”

“I booked Regan to help me with my new puppy. She was super accommodating to the fact that my puppy hadn’t learned to do walks yet. She tried multiple ways to make her more comfortable and is helping me get her adjusted. I’ve booked Regan for the next month! Love her!”


“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”

“They took great care of my dog Frank! Had a last minute issue with boarding arrangements and they stepped right in. Gave me detailed messages and pictures with every visit. Would 100% recommend and will contact them first if the need arises!”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly understand their unique needs and personalities. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust. I love staying active, which means plenty of energy for long walks, playtime, and keeping pups happy. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’ll treat them like my own I currently WFH but enjoy taking several breaks to walk myself, so would love to bring your pup along to ensure they get the attention they deserve. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep pets safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I respect each home, maintain routines, and give pets plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I’m mindful of doors, leashes, and feeding schedules to ensure they are cared for just like they would be by you.
“Richard did an incredible job. Showed up for daily visits with our pets and sent photos and report cards on every visit. Would definitely use again and recommend his services.”


“Natalie is wonderful! Have to use her often for business travel which is random and sometimes very last minute due to projects. She is very reliable! Don’t steal her time please, I need her! Lol”

“Couldn’t have asked for better service. Our Ziggy isn’t the easiest pup to handle and Cori went above and beyond what we expected. And judging from all the great photos she took, Ziggy seemed to be very pleased as well. If we’re lucky, we’ll have Cori as his sitter for any future out of town trips!”

“This was my first time using Sara but it definitely won’t be the last. She did such a great job. She communicated quickly, was very reliable, left my space tidy, and even left a Christmas present for my cat! And most importantly, my cat seemed to love her!”

About: I love dogs and have experience with many dogs of varying ages and breeds. I grew up with golden retrievers, a dachshund, and a variety of rescue dogs and cats. For the past 12 years I had a Great Dane, Harry, who sadly passed away recently. I raised Harry from the time he was 8 weeks old so we went through the puppy stages, the teenage years, and the golden senior years. So, I’ve seen it all as a dog mom chewing, behavior issues, allergic reactions, accidents, illnesses, etc. I’m well equipped to take care of your pet and handle any challenge that may come up. I’ll care for your pet like he/she is a member of my own family- just like I did with Harry for 12 years. We will go for walks, have playtime, snuggle on the couch- whatever they’re into! I’m very organized, timely, and resourceful. I will work with your schedule and follow any instructions you have for your pet, no matter how specific. I do not have any pets of my own right now and only take 1 client at a time so your pet(s) will be the only pets at our house during their stay. I work full-time from home so have flexibility with pet care needs throughout the day. I can provide bathroom breaks and feedings as needed throughout the day as well as check-ins. I have a fenced in yard (front and back) for the dog to use, but also have plenty of walkable areas around my house. I have no pets of my own right now. At a client’s home I will follow their instructions for yard usage, walks, etc.
About: I’ve had a dog in my life since childhood and I LOVE them. I have fostered in the past and have missed dogs so much. My job requires me to travel a bit so I have resorted to Rover to get my pup fix! I can handle any dog and will make sure they are snuggled and loved to the fullest while also cared for adequately. I work remotely full time but have lots of time to go on walks and take care of pups overnight. My week changes from week to week but know when I travel for work a couple weeks ahead at least so should know when I am available. I will adhere to anything you want me to. I follow directions very well and am a bit of a perfectionist. I’ll make sure you dog or dogs are taken care of and loved.
“Jess was great! She did a great job with communicating a meet and greet and all the details about the drop-ins for my cat. She really made me feel comfortable he was getting all the cuddles and attention he needed :)”

“Allie is absolutely fantastic! This is my second time booking her to help with my pup Luna. She was able to take my last minute request and did amazing with Luna. Allie even brought in a package for me without me having to ask. I highly recommend Allie!!!”

Cori was amazing with our dog while we were out of town! She made the whole process so easy and comfortable. She gave us daily updates with pictures and treated him like one of her own dogs. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again for any future trips!
