“Megan did an awesome job with our two dogs. This was there first time be away from home, so at first it was out of there element but she stepped in and took good care of them. I loved that she sent pictures and gave updates on how they were doing. I was glad to hear they were welcomed back. Will definitely book again.”
“Kristina was great. Daily walks and various other activities for my pup, plus loads of updates and photos to give you peace of mind. Would 100% get her again to take care of my furbaby!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my senior dog. I had a lot of anxiety leaving her home while we were heading out of state for a family trip. My dog was just recently diagnosed with dementia and her episodes were getting worse and more frequent. I did a lot of research and came across Nutan. Their specialty with senior dogs and dogs with medical conditions is what ultimately led me to go with them and let me tell you it was an amazing experience from start to finish. They were willing to take care of Maya and be there for her every step of the way. They remained in touch and sent me pictures very often to check in on her. It definitely eased the burden and anxiety I had with traveling and leaving her. She watched the sunset, had play dates with their dog, and had some yummy treats every day. I can tell Maya already misses them. If I ever go on a long distance trip again I will 100% be using them again.”
“Rodney and Christine were so wonderful to work with, we appreciated how quick they were to respond, their updates and care with taking care of our dog, as well as their flexibility. They were so kind and easy to work with and really helped us out with a last minute reservation and some delayed travels. We highly recommend them as people who are kind, reliable and loves animals. We look forward to using them in the future!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life and have been walking and caring for friends and family's dogs for years. I know how to give each pup the attention and exercise they need. My daily routine is very flexible. I'm available every morning and evening for walks, and I build my whole schedule around your dog's needs. Whether it's a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I'll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I always care for pets in the client's home. I follow any special instructions you give me, keep your house clean, and make sure all doors and gates are securely closed before I leave. Your pet's safety and your home are my top priority.
“Tremendous appreciation, Naydamar! Chavo truly had the best few days with you. We appreciate your affection, kindness, and loving attention with Chavo. We loved the daily photos & video updates throughout Chavo’s stay. He had large smiles, went on walks, looked extremely happy, well-nourished, spoiled, and deeply cared for. He definitely will stay with you again! Thank you, Naydamar! Muchísimas gracias, muy amable❤️ 🐾 -Chavo & Estefanie”
“From the minute we met Jeanne, we knew she was going to be amazing with our dog. She was so incredibly sweet, caring, and instantly made us feel comfortable leaving our dog in her care. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, out walking our dog. which meant so much to us and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly happy, loved, and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pet!”
“Rosalyn is awesome! She is always available, whether it's just a day or 2 weeks vacation, or holidays, or a last-minute notice for daycare. Most importantly, Tommy loves her and loves to go to her house! I enjoyed seeing the cute pictures and funny videos she sent, seeing my baby happy with other dogs either at the house or on a walk. She's also very flexible on her schedule, helping me to pick up and drop off Tommy whenever I need. Her house is a doggy wonderland, very spacious and super clean! It feels good that you have a sitter you can trust when you are away from your fur baby. I know she will treat my baby like her own. Thank you, Rosalyn!”
“Very helpful! Especially when you underestimate how much dog food to bring. Very friendly! My Belle didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend her as I was.very satisfied with her service!”
“Chiu was awesome with my dog Mody he kept me updated with videos and pictures of Mody and all the activities he did with him, he even have him a bath, I would 100% recommend Chiu to pet sit your fur baby he is great.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful with our dog. Our dog has some trauma and is a rescue but seemed to love being there. Emily was very responsive and gave us great updates. We would definitely use her again.”
“Elizabeth (Elly) was absolutely outstanding with our baby dog. This is the first time we left our 8 year old rottie (big baby) with an overnight sitter. Elly kept us updated often about how Buddy was doing with pictures of our very happy pup! Absolutely highly recommend Elly to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Winnie took excellent care of our Daisy. She went on daily walks and we were provided updates with pictures and videos daily. Definitely recommend Winnie if your pet needs a temporary home.”
“Martin and his son were excellent. Communication was consistent, and they kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were being cared for with the same level of attention and affection we would give them ourselves. Our dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time — especially being able to interact with their dogs as well. Martin and his son were responsive, reliable, and genuinely caring. We’re very grateful they were available on a weekend and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Thank you, Juan for watching Chiko! Very grateful he agreed to watch him, we needed someone so last minute. And he helped us out with his own supplies! 10/10 recommend. We can tell Chiko had fun, didn’t want to leave lol”
“I cannot begin to say how much we love Nancy. She is so sweet and caring, you can tell she loves animals as she has a mini farm and they all just get along. I was a bit nervous at first since my Yorkie is afraid of big dogs and I knew Nancy has a German Shepherd named Chloe but once we did the meet and greet I saw how sweet Chloe and her other animals are and that my Yorkie and Shih Tzu got along with them. She gave me peace of mind and I knew my little ones were in great hands. Nancy responded and communicates well and I know my doggies had a great time. She also had them bathed and I had asked her to groom the shih tzu...He has never looked so cute! So excited that we now have a permanent sitter. :) Thank you so much!!!”
“Thang and Mimi are very friendly and accommodating. It was my second time using their services and my dog Rocky was very happy to see them. Highly recommend them for pet sitting services.”

Elizabeth is an actual saint. She survived 4 nights with our two chaotic house hippos and somehow still liked them by the end! Her photo and text updates were so consistent, it felt like my dogs got their own reality show while we were away. Book her immediately—unless I beat you to it. 6/5 stars.

Baxter had the best time with Dorcas and the family! They treated him like he was theirs. They took him on walks, and sent lots of great updates with photos and stories of how he was getting along with everyone in the family. We had peace of mind knowing Baxter was loved in their home.
She took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dogs needed slight medical care and she was very willing to give our dog the bit of extra attention. So grateful we found her, we were able to enjoy our vacation and our dogs enjoyed their own vacation as well (:
This is Chewies second time with Afton. We love her. She is just awesome and Chewy feels very comfortable and secure. We are very happy with Afton and will continue to ask specifically for her. We feel Chewy is in a happy, safe, loving place. As long as Afton is available, Chewy will have a great place to stay. Thanks Afton. You make it easy to take a vacation and not feel overwhelmed with concern about our precious Chewy.
America replied quickly and accepted my request on a very short notice. I feel like she followed through on all expectations, like giving Skippy his food and water, taking him for mini walks, and providing my little dog companionship. America even let me know my Skippy was feeling sad when I left, but better the following day. Pictures too. Will use her again.
