“I think my dog prefers Tanisha and being in her home over being with me now! The photos showed so much love, care, accommodation, and time. Her home is beautiful and I had zero concerns while on my trip. Tanisha is the best for my elderly pup.”
“Anais is great — she immediately embraced my rather nervous dogs and her calming / caring presence immediately put them at ease. Can tell my pups were cared for while I was out of town and was pleasantly surprised as Anais went above and beyond. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Aimee is outstanding! She is an amazing sitter who is patient, caring, affectionate, and very knowledgeable about pet care. She’s right, she loves her dogs! She took her time with Chief, making sure he was comfortable and everyone and everything around him was perfect. Maxx got along very well with Chief, too! She only takes a few pets in at the same time, which makes the visit manageable. Amy is very well organized, clean and has a great deal of toys and clean towels available for the pets. Chief played during the day, was very active and was able to tire himself out just in time and to chill peacefully during long, hot afternoons. Aimee has our house set up just for fur babies that stay with her. She is an extremely kind, and her husband is also very accommodating. She’s a great listener, and makes everyone feel welcome especially the pets. Chief fell in love with her, and her husband. She made his first experience fully away from home awesome! Aimee is Highly recommend it. We will return for play dates. Thank you so much Aimee for being such a wonderful and caring sitter.”
“Brittany was amazing! Dash was so comfortable being with her and her family. She was intentional with sending me updates with photos and videos while he was with her. She sent home a little goodie bag with a hand-written thank you letter that was so sweet and thoughtful! Definitely the best experience so far using Rover. We look forward to having her watch Dash from now on!”

“This was our first time ever using a pet sitter and it was the best experience. Our little Tootsie had the best time with Janet! Janet took care of Tootsie as if she were her own.

I would absolutely recommend Janet and will for sure book with her again! Thank you again, Janet!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have at least one by my side. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including my own two—I offer more than just a place to stay; I provide a safe, loving home away from home. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of canine behavior, patience with puppies, and gentle care for senior dogs. Whether it’s helping with basic training or giving extra attention to older pups who need a slower pace, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s unique needs. You can trust that your dog will be treated like family here. I currently work full time. However, I work from home 3 days a week and I am in office 2 days a week. Dogs get lots of attention. I have a large unfenced yard with two friendly dogs to keep yours company. I take dogs out on leashes for walks and can crate dogs if needed.
“I highly recommend Taylor! Communication was excellent, and the drop-off and pick-up went smoothly. She has a lovely home with plenty of space for my dog to roam and feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Thank you so much for watching Sasha and Keno! They seemed to have really enjoyed their stay, and we -really- appreciated all of the picture updates you sent! We will contact you again the next time we have to go out of town. Thanks again!”
“Vanessa was absolutely amazing with Beau. She sent daily updates and pictures while we were away! Such a sweetie. We will definitely be booking Vanessa again. Customer services was great we well!”

Very responsive and attentive to my needs and questions. I could not have selected a better sitter for my Toby. I willbcontinue to book her services when available.
We were extremely pleased with Shanique's level of care for our dog, Polo. It was our first time leaving him with anyone, so we didn't know what to expect. Shanique quickly calmed our fears with her professionalism and calm energy. She sent messages and pictures throughout Polo's stay, giving updates that eased our minds. We will definitely use her services in the future!
Nicole took great care of Whiskey and sent me lots of videos and pictures of him having fun and playing with her dog. I felt at ease leaving him with her and knowing he was safe.
Sharonda was amazing with biscuit. We had a long stay for our first time using a sitter at all and we were very nervous. Sharonda made us feel very comfortable, kept us updated, sent pictures. And biscuit seemed very happy when he got home. We will be booking them again.
Victoria Was a blessing, Kartier has never been with no one out side of Pets Suites. I can honestly say it was a last-minute thought. And after reading more about Victoria, I knew he would be ok! When arriving to her home, she greeted us at the door at that time. As we walked in, Kar did his normal sniffing around. You can tell she had a passion for this because Kar came in marking his territory. After sometime. She reached out to let me know that Kar was fine. Sent pictures. I will definitely be using. Victoria from now on. 5/5 thanks so much for taking care of my baby.
He was awesome with Sissy. She liked him. He sent videos of Sissy to show how she was getting alone. Definitely will use again.
The stay went smoothly and I didn’t have any issues with my pet’s care. However, the interaction felt a bit distant. The sitter wasn’t very talkative, and pickup felt rushed — she handed me my pet’s things and quickly closed the door without much conversation. Also, I wasn’t sent any photos during the two-day stay, which I would’ve appreciated for peace of mind. Nothing major, but I personally value more communication and warmth throughout the stay.
