“Wonderful dog sitting experience. I'm very pleased with everything about it. Deb is warm, friendly & kind. Lucy was well cared for. I would recommend her highly. Her 2 labradoodles are the sweetest 💗”


“Amanda was amazing with my dog! Her dog is so loving and sweet too. I highly recommend and would absolutely use her again! Her communication was amazing and she sent me pictures of my boy when he was in her care and put my mind at ease. She was a delight!”


“Fernando is such a nice person, very kind and caring. We received daily updates and photos of our dog throughout their stay. Fernando was very quick to respond to my messages, and accommodated us when we couldn’t pickup our dog at the scheduled time. Our dog was calm when we picked him up and did not appear anxious from being away from us for 6 days. This was our first time using Rover and Fernando made it a success!”


“Cassandra took such great care of our fur baby! She responded quickly to every message, worked with us when we had to do an early drop-off and sent daily pictures. Our puppy loved her and we will definitely be booking her again for future sitting needs.”


“Gibby loved his time with Christine, Andrew, Roscoe and Carl. They were all so welcoming and just opened up their home to him. With all the photos and updates I had an enjoyable and worry free time away. Will definitely use them again.”


“My dogs seemed to have a great time with Orly. They were very tired when they got home. My experience with Orly was wonderful and I hope to have Baxter and Harper stay with her again.”


“Anya you and your family are amazing, thank you for caring for Luna like your own. Thank you for the pictures and communication, I can tell she truly enjoyed her time with you all. I will definitely book you again and recommend. Thank you”


“So happy with Sarah. She was quick to respond. She sent me pictures of our dog, Rico and our kitty, Penny. They were very happy and content being with her and her mom. We felt peace of mind as well. She has a nice yard and sunroom. Plenty of space for our beagle to run and play. Very happy.”


“Liceth is an awesome sitter!! She’s very knowledgeable and loved on my babies just like they were her own! She sent a lot of great pictures and videos. She has the perfect set up for the pups, and space for them to play! I love that she can see them while she is away at work on camera as well! The highlight for me was she took them on a bike ride outing! I’m super happy that my pups got to experience something new! My babies had a great time and came back exhausted from playing. I also appreciate that she does a meet and greet and asks for vaccine paperwork. It definitely makes me feel more comfortable leaving my dogs with her. Highly recommend!”


“My pup, Ebby, had a wonderful stay with Rebecca and her family! She fit right in and helped the kids eat all their food…and even vacuumed for her😂. She kept me updated frequently and sent lots of pictures. This was an unexpected, last minute trip I had to book and she was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Valkyrie made some new friends this time and the pictures tell me that she had a blast! She’s always so well cared for and I truly appreciate being able to feel 100% comfortable leaving my best girl with Roberta anytime!”


“What a fantastic experience! We had a little bit of a rocky start after dropping our dog off( by no fault of Thomas) and then it was smooth sailing. Pictures were sent throughout the duration. Would definitely book again!”


About: I have had animals since I was a little girl. From mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats- I’ve taken care of them all! Last year I took in my mom’s dog since she moved and couldn’t take her along, so technically this is my first time owning a dog (on my own), but there has always been either a dog or a cat in my home growing up, so I have dealt with it all- accidents, anxiousness, and everything in between. I have also been able to teach my dog some new basic tricks, despite her being 13! I am very patient, determined, and caring. I currently work full time, 2nd shift 3p-11:30pm, so I am available M-F up until 2pm when I need to start getting ready for work. I wake up early and take my dog out right away, then again in about 3ish hours, and then right before I leave for work to ensure that I don’t come home to an accident, and then she potties and eats dinner when I get home. On the weekends, I’m home probably 90% of the time, so we go to the museum, dog park, and for the most part, she runs all of my errands with me! Despite me living in an apartment, I do still have a yard in the front and the back of the building, so if my dog (or yours) isn’t feeling up for a walk (or the weather isn’t great) there is still grass for them to go to the bathroom. I do not mind about my dog being on my furniture- it’s her house too! That is how it would be for your pet too! I also have a small balcony, where me and her sit and hang out for some fresh air.

“Our dog Hula has had several stays with Tristan & Christine. They are always prompt in responding and are attentive. Hula gets excited for a stay. Added bonus is the pick up & drop off service. It really helps us since we have 3 young children to juggle. We highly recommend!”

“Steven provided excellent care for Cooper. He communicated well, sending regular updates and photos that showed Cooper enjoying walks and playtime. Cooper was happy, tired, and well-cared for upon pick-up. Steven is highly recommended for pet care.”


“Lisa continues to be a great help to our family. Lucy knows her well now and always comes home in a great mood and a bit tuckered out. I miss Lucy so much while we are away but with the updates throughout her stay, I can see she's having just as much fun, if not more, on her vacation too.”


“Amazing sitter, communicated very well, sent pictures throughout the day and text updates. Was on time for pickup and i had a last min pickup change and she had no problem with it reliable person GREAT SITTER WILL BE USING AGAIN”


About: Hi there! Im Ali. I have had a strong passion for dogs my entire life. I grew up with a pack of 7 dogs, and in my adult life I have always had 5-7 of my own dogs. I foster dogs as well, and have had over 50 foster dogs in the last 10 years. I have managed several kennels, a pet sitting company, and have been a professional dog trainer for the last 10 years, specializing in obedience on and off leash, trick training, and socialization. I have a current pack of 5 very well trained and social dogs. We love going for group hikes, and would love for your pup to tag along with us 😊 I have experience working with and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and am skilled in detecting common medical issues. I can administer medication, do insulin injections, nail trims, and basic grooming as well. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I can accommodate mostly boarding in my home. When your pup joins us at home, they are treated no differently than my own dogs. They jump right into our routine, and have lots of buddies to play with! I have a small (but love filled) single home with 5 very social and well trained pups, 2 very friendly and social cats (that think they are just part of the dog pack 😂), and a very respectful and dog savvy 6 year old daughter. We have a 6 foot vinyl privacy fence in our backyard and a large covered deck. My finished basement and family room has crates setup for 2 of my own dogs and any guest dogs when we are not home to ensure everyone’s safety!

“Our dogs love Heather!! We have used her dog watching services multiple times and will keep coming back. We recently got cats so this time we had her also do in home visits with the cats. She did a great job taking care of the cats as well. We love having such a reliable and kind person to watch our animals while away!”
