“5 ⭐️ for Viji R. Just wanna say thank you for taking care of my dog and never get tired updating me if how’s my dog doing. It’s like every hour I’ll received a videos/pictures of my dog. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Brad treats my Cole like he was his own dog. When we pick Cole up, he’s very happy and seems to like staying with Brad. We highly recommend him for pet sitting as well as doggy daycare.”
“I recently had Laura watch my 100 lb Goldendoodle, Bogey, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I picked him up, it was clear he had an amazing time—he didn’t even want to leave! Laura was fantastic about keeping me updated with daily pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. You could see in every photo that Bogey was happy, relaxed, and having a blast. Laura clearly knows how to make dogs feel loved and cared for. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Katya was beyond amazing. She took fantastic care of my dog, provided daily updates, and kept my mind at ease the whole time. She was so kind and flexible when I had travel issues. She clearly works hard to make this a great experience for both owners and the pets. Thank you so much, Katya!! Highly highly recommend”
“Yekatarina has been taking wonderful care of my mom's two cats. She sends beautiful photos and has been excellent at communicating and helping us with last minute bookings. Highly recommended!”
“Millie and her family took amazing care of our sweet boy. Our family was gone for a week and my daughter was very emotional leaving him for that long. Millie reassured her that he would be loved and spoiled. She sent us daily photos and updates and he looked like he also had THE BEST doggy vacation! We will 100% use Millie again in the future. 🥰🐶”
“Clarissa is amazing! Great communication and even sent pictures during our time away! My crazy pup came home exhausted! She even taught her how to sleep without being in a crate or in the bed with us and she is doing well not messing in the house when we are resting! I am so grateful! We booked again and will continue to book every trip we can with her and her amazing family!”
“We are so grateful to Anolan for taking such amazing care of our two dogs, Maisy and Hendrix, this past weekend while we made a last-minute trip to New Orleans for the birth of our niece. From the very beginning, Anolan was incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our doggos were both happy and in good hands. Maisy and Hendrix absolutely loved her (and her sweet dog, Benji, who they got to go on walks and play with!), and they were clearly spoiled with love and treats. Anolan’s boyfriend was also great with them, and it was heartwarming to see how comfortable and relaxed our pups were in their care. We ended up being delayed in picking them up, and Anolan was nothing but understanding and gracious about it. We would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you again, Anolan—you’re the best!”
“Natazia was wonderful. She was on time, kind, and very considerate. I can tell she is very passionate about animals. Lucky was treated like a king by Natazia and it was a very pleasant experience for us. We highly recommend Natazia!!”
“Connie was amazing! She took such great care of our dog while we were away. She was super responsive, kept us updated every day with adorable photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. Her home is very clean and has a big yard that our pup loved running around in. We could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of the whole time. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Mary was amazing!! She took such good care of my dog and sent many updates throughout her time there. It was so nice to get updates and see her happy. I highly recommend her.”
About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone who truly treats your pup like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities and currently focus on pups 40 lbs and under to keep things calm and comfortable in my cozy home. My own dog is about 65 lbs, gentle, and great with dogs of all sizes! I only care for one family’s pets at a time so I can provide focused attention, a peaceful environment, and personalized care for your pup’s unique needs. I work from home full time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. While I don’t include walks by default, I’m happy to offer them if requested. I do require that all dogs are crate trained, just in case I need to run a quick errand—your pup’s comfort and safety always come first. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for outdoor potty breaks and play. I only accept crate-trained dogs under 40 lbs and host just one family’s pets at a time. This helps ensure a low-stress, high-attention environment tailored to your dog’s comfort. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, and I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in great hands.
“Andrea was wonderful. She kept me informed about my dog, Charlie, with updates and pictures. I travel for work and plan to use Andrea's services in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“Did a wonderful job with my little boy. So helpful in a last minute bind and truly appreciate everything they did for him. Would highly recommend!”
“This is our first time trusting our baby Stella to a sitter outside family! Hannah was amazing & loved on our dog to the degree that we never worried! She provided updates with pictures & we were just able to relax on our weekend away. Thank you SO much Hannah for taking in Stella! We definitely will be contacting you again.”
“It was my first time using this Rover app for my puppy and I have to say Blanca was amazing with my puppy Nori. Definitely will be calling her again . She was very loving towards her and my puppy seemed very happy.”
“Lisa and David did it again for us! We are currently looking for properties in the area and this was our second time having them care for our senior girl. Constant communication, pictures and check ins. They have a beautiful home and yard. Their pups are the sweetest and are very welcoming to all their new friends. Truly a wonderful couple who love and care for pets. They also are very mindful of dietary restrictions and any additional care your pup may need. They went out and bought our girl some turkey as a supplement to her kibble. (Spoiled doggie) lol Can’t thank them enough.”
“Lauren was very sweet to Nui & worked with me when I was having transportation difficulties. She was able to take Nui to the park everday and he was able to make so many friends!”
“Emma and Adam were amazing and we are so grateful they were willing to take on our 2 challenging pups for a week. A big huge thank you to their sweet pup Patrick for putting up with our pups. Emma sent pics and updates regularly and kept them on a routine with plenty of walks and exercise. I was super nervous to leave them with someone new for so long but she put my mind at ease and was super supportive. We would not hesitate to have her watch our pups again.”
“Cassandra was great! I appreciated doing a meet and greet first to make sure everything would go smoothly and it did! She sent photos and updates through the day. Would definitely book again.”

Paige is very flexible and taking good care of my dog lucky. When lucky with her, I don’t worry too much. Also, she provide pictures and feedback about lucky. Highly recommend her!!!
She’s such a life saver and patient and kind. I have no idea what I would do without her. Thank you, Thank you so so much.
Katie is so great!! I had no worries while on a weekend away, even with the fireworks! She even came to pick up my dog and dropped her off due to unexpectedly leaving from a further airport. She was adaptable and we’re so grateful!
100% recommend and will be booking with Hannah again whenever I leave town. Constantly got updates on what Arlo was up to. thank you so much :)
Amanda was amazing! Was a last minute booking and she took my pup in with no hesitation. Sent daily photos and updates which is always so appreciated. Can’t thank her enough!!!
Candi always sends photos without being asked and has a great understanding of dogs. Highly recommend!
Second time Drako stays with Melissa and had the same 5⭐️ service so again, don’t give it a second thought and book with her.
Ashley was great with our dog Marley. This is the first time we had ever left her for longer than two days or left her with anyone other than family. Ashley sent us lots of pictures and let us know how Marley was doing the whole nine days we were gone. Next trip if we don’t take Marley with us, we will definitely be in contact with Ashley again highly recommend
Ajax had the best time with Maya and her pupper, Kash! I got lots of videos and pictures and he was so tired when he got home. She kept me in the loop with his eating (first time away from me) and filled me in with how much fun he was having. Definitely put my mind and heart at ease while we were apart. Thank you, Maya!!!
Daniela and her husband were so good with Summer, and he absolutely loved staying with them. I’d love to bring my dog to stay with them again. Their dogs are amazing too!
Carlie and her husband took great care of Elliott and Penny. They welcomed them into their home and their laps with all the cuddles. Of course you are always worried when your family (dogs) stays somewhere unfamiliar but they definitely reassured me with lots of pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking again!! Thank you guys for taking great care of them for me.
Xavier was awesome! His place is clean and well kept, very welcoming. He has two small pups, perfect playmates for my dog. He sent daily photos and was flexible with pickup time. I highly recommend!
Lexi went above and beyond, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a booking. She contacted me every day, sent pictures of her playing, and even got her a present on Christmas! I would give 10 stars if I could.
Bek is the kindest soul and went absolutely above and beyond to take care of my Harley. From the moment we met in person & throughout the entire time I was gone, she was just an absolute angel, sent me amazing updates. She gave Harley the most fun & comfortable experience I could even imagine, it almost seems like Harley has found one of her new fav people. This was Harley’s first time staying with a stranger & Bek will now be my go to girl whenever I need someone to watch her, for as long she will have us!! Your animal could not be in better hands than with her, truly a gem & vibrant, sweet human. We are so happy to have Bek in our lives 🩷
