“Mariah responded to our last minute request to watch Cali so fast, and we’re so grateful! Cali gets separation anxiety, but she was surprisingly fine with Mariah at drop off. Must’ve been Mariah’s chill vibe lol. At pickup, she didn’t even mention that Cali had a big accident in her kitchen (just #1, thank goodness) until I asked!! I felt so bad, but Mariah was so sweet and understanding about it. We’re definitely going to reach out to her again when we need someone to take care of our Cali!”

“Katherine and Walter are amazing! I cannot say enough great things! Buzz runs into their house excited and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. They send pictures and videos which make my day. Their house has a great yard and his day is filled with walks, playtime with them and their cute dog, Oliver, and even hiking. They're kind, caring and super communicative. Highly recommend!”


“Catherine is a great pet sitter! Sends out updates and the communication was great! Definitely recommend to anyone! She was the best and Thor loved spending time with her ☺️”


“Jennifer is absolutely incredible. Larry my puppy is 3 months so I was nervous to leave him with anyone, let alone a stranger. She quickly put my mind at ease when I watched her interact with Larry. And to be honest the best part of this review is, Larry is wildly excited to see Jennifer each morning she watches him. Jennifer is incredibly accommodating as well. My schedule changed 4x over a 2 week stretch and Jennifer made a stressful situation very comforting. I actively using her services and will continue to.”


“Honestly I am super satisfied and very happy with the care my pups received from Rocio. She kept me updated throughout the day with my pups, played with them, walked them, fed them, and loved them as if they were her own. The pups definitely enjoyed the care Rocio gave them and they even smelled good when I got them! Rocio was very understanding and flexible with what I needed in terms of schedule. I also love the fact that she has other dogs for my dogs to be exposed and got along so well with my pups. Would definitely recommend her and would use her again!”


“My little one, Sophia, was in great hands! She had a ball with their mini golden doodle, Coco. I received a few pics throughout the day. Sophia was exhausted and slept great for hours afterward! Highly recommend DooHyang and Frank!”


“Alicia was so amazing with GG she went out of her way to make sure All the care instructions were done it was a pleasure talking with her she’s super sweet I feel very comfortable having GG stay with her and I would definitely highly recommend her.”


“Kathy responded to our initial request incredibly quickly and couldn’t have been kinder. From the start, she was attentive and understanding—especially important for us since our dog can be a bit anxious in new environments. During our first drop-off, she took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, and we were relieved to hear that he had settled down shortly after we left. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so happy to have found someone we trust, and we’ve already booked with her again for an upcoming multi-night stay. Highly recommended!”


“Kat was great at quick communication and took very good care of our dog. She was accommodating of our schedule and sent updates. We used her services as a Rover when were stopping on the way to visit my in-laws and will likely reach out to her to rebook again on our next trip.”


About: I am the go-to sitter for my friends’ dogs, cats, and even the occasional bunny!

About: My desire is to provide a vacation home for the dogs who stay in our home - a place where they feel safe and comfortable while having fun and enjoying their stay! I took care of my dog, Coby, for 9 years before he went to doggy heaven. Ever since, I’ve been passionate about dog health and diet. Now I want to use my free time to provide a loving home for your dogs. I know dogs are family and leaving them while you’re gone can be difficult. I seek to provide dogs a space where they feel comfortable, loved, and stimulated. I’m currently on leave from work, so I would be able to provide your pup with the best care and play! I would be able to tend to any needs I observe and provide both physical and emotional care for your pups. Your pet would be in a safe and dog-friendly home where they would be free to rest and play. Our furniture downstairs is open for naps, snuggles, and rest. There are also fields of grass surrounding our townhouse as well as good areas for dog walking.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I currently have a fur baby now! She’s super friendly and lovable and loves all animals! She means the world to me and I love taking her outside for walks in to get fresh air. I can’t wait to meet and care for your fur baby! I do have a full-time job but morning walks and feeding are in routine for the morning, afternoon, and nighttime as well. My dog loves to play after I get home from work so that is something they can do together as well. Any daily care or routine can be worked out! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I can take your dog on multiple walks throughout the day. I also have a dog who can keep your animal company and I also have a cage if you would like them to be crated if needed.

About: I treat every dog like my own with love, patience, and lots of attention! I have experience caring for puppies, helping with basic training and potty routines, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra TLC, medication reminders, or slow, gentle walks.

About: I’ve had dogs in my house my entire life and love the value they add to one’s life. It make’s me happy to help others keep their pet happy as well! I play soccer over the summer as an extension of me being a student-athlete, so I can be up early or late to take care of pets as well as having a lot of summer availability. I tend to giving them appreciation and time as well as keeping up on their daily schedule and needs. For my family, pets are an extension of family so we treat them as such.


About: To me they are not just animals. For me they are angels with the purest soul ever. They are part of the family. They need to be treated with respect, love and patience. I love dogs completely because their loyalty and unconditional love has no limits. Something we as humans are not capable of( sad to say it but is true) I will make sure they will have fun, feel comfortable and keep them busy so they don't miss you so much. Missing you cause them to have anxiety and thats what we will try to avoid. Your baby will be safe with me. I worked in a dog shelter for a whole year. I could feed 40 dogs in 25 min. I feel I can handle even the grumpy ones ::) jk I work from home that allows me to be all the time with the pups. I can dedicate my whole time to pet sit your little cutie pie I love to walk them , watch movies , cuddle, swim if posible, go on walks , play games , snack time , kisses and hugs
