“Lori is the most compassionate and caring dog sitter I’ve ever met. My dog was injured while I was out of town, and she picked up and took care of my dog with such kindness and compassion. She communicated with me all throughout the day and night until I was able to make it back home. Ziggy & I are so grateful for her. I couldn’t recommend a sitter more!!! She’s amazing!!!”
“We were worried that our Mimi would be very anxious away from us - but she fit right in to Deborah’s home and we were able to enjoy our time away knowing she was truly cared for. Deborah was great at communication too and seeing Mimi’s smiles in the pictures was wonderful. Definitely will ask Deborah again if the need arises. Thank you!”
“Bianca was so kind and responsive, took great care of Aspen and always kept me updated. I would recommend her to anyone and would also be happy to have Aspen stay with her again anytime. Thank you!”
“Emily was awesome with my slightly anxious rescue dog. Sent updates, very responsive, and flexible about drop off and pick up times. Much appreciate the care she gave my little doggo over the course of a weekend and always felt she was in safe hands.”
“Stewart was everything we had hoped for in a sitter. He took excellent care of our dog. His lovely home was safe and comfortable and convenient. Stewart communicated well and even adjusted his schedule to accommodate our timing. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.”
“This was our second time booking with Madeleine and Alex, and once again they were absolutely wonderful with Bingo! Their whole family, including their two kids, made him feel right at home. We received regular updates and could tell Bingo was having a great time. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. They’re now our go-to sitters, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, responsible care!”
“Jaimi took amazing care of our dog, Maizie. She and her loved ones treated Maizie as a member of their family and the frequent photo updates were a delight. Knowing that Maizie was so well cared for made our travel worry-free. We highly recommend Jaimi and have already made arrangements to have Maizie stay with her again.”
“Oz had a great stay with Chris and his family! This was his second visit. Chris welcomes Oz with a big smile and open heart. He provides lots of fun exercise with his dog, Lincoln as well as quiet time. Oz misses his mama, but I know he is well taken care with Chris.”
“Yina took excellent care of my pup and I appreciated that she kept in touch while I was away. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a calm and caring place for your pet.”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own at home! We love spending our nights after work at the dog park or going on hikes together on the weekends. Most of my friends and neighbors ask me to take care of their pups whenever they travel and it’s something that brings me a lot of joy! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I can take breaks and go for long or short walks throughout the day. I am most free before work, during my lunch break 1:00-2:00pm or after 5:30pm I am very attentive to the needs of each pet and make sure they feel relaxed in any situation. I have dogs of my own at home and understand the importance of keeping them leashed and safe.
“Jessica was very warm and friendly and took great care of Maggie. She took her on long walks and had a nice roomy home and back porch for Maggie to roam around along with a super cute introverted poodle for company. Would definitely book with her again. Thank you Jessica!”
“Ariane looked after our dog for four nights while we were away, and she was amazing! Our dog immediately took to her and I could tell he would be in the best hands. He looked so comfortable and happy when I picked him up, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She was very communicative and sent daily photos and videos of him. We look forward to using Ariane again soon!”
“Nahir and Mitchel were great caretakers of our dog. From first contact their responsiveness and service were impressive. Loved the daily updates and photos. I’d highly recommend and look forward to using them again.”
“Jesse was incredible with my pup! He was so flexible to meet us at a nearby park where my dog was most comfortable. He was so patient to learn about her personality and needs. He kindly did not book other dogs while my dog was staying with him as I had requested. My dog has a decent amount of energy, and I was so happy that Jesse would take her running and hiking. She had the best time, I knew she was in good hands, and I would absolutely book Jesse again.”
“Had a last minute trip and was fortunate to find Morgan and Svet. They took my dog on some amazing adventures to the beach and hiking. Super accommodating and had a great yard to play in. He also got to make new buddy! Highly recommend!!”
“Nadya was great! Her place is a relaxing retreat for the dogs, lots of sunny spots to lounge in the yard. She sent great pics while we were gone. She was kind, friendly and responds quick to texts. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: Hi Pet parents! My name is Sophie and I’ve been a dog owner for all 19 years I’ve been alive - using all of that time to gain experience walking, taking care of, cleaning up after, training, and ensuring the safety of my pups. I’m comfortable with any size level and activity level- I’ve seen it all! I also have experience house sitting and taking care of friend’s/family’s pets while they are away. I’m looking to take care of some animals while I’m home from college for the summer because it’s what I do best! Thank you for entrusting me with the health and needs of your baby 🩷 I’m a college student who is home for the summer! I’m not working any jobs outside of this, so I can give your pup all of the love and attention and exercise they deserve! I have a fenced yard so there is no risk of running into the road and a large house/yard for the dogs to play around in. I have a 10 year old Boston terrier who is extremely friendly and she loves making new friends! If your dog doesn’t work well with others, I have enough space to separate them completely and comfortably.
“We left our two Frenchies with Carolyn for 5 days and had an amazing experience. One of our dogs is a senior who needs daily medication and can be very particular with people—she’s honestly more like a cat! Carolyn understood all the instructions, gave her the medication every day without issues, and handled her personality with so much patience and care. She gave her space when she needed it, and by the end of the stay our dog was calmly resting on Carolyn’s lap. Both pups were well taken care of, and Carolyn kept us updated throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. She was incredibly caring and communicative. We’d definitely trust her again with our dogs!”

Chris + Aiste took care of my dog Ackee like their own! When we arrived at their house she felt immediately at home and i knew she would be well taken care of. They truly seemed to enjoy and see the best in her and she had so much fun. They sent me many updates of her going on hikes and napping in the sun. Ackee would love to stay with them again!
We cannot recommend Lori & Frank highly enough for their loving, conscientious, and fun care they provided for the most important member of our family! We received numerous updates on how things were going which were always reassuring even though we were only away for a day, and their communication was prompt and respectful of our requests. Thank you so very much for providing such amazing peace of mind while we were away!
Stewart was everything we had hoped for in a sitter. He took excellent care of our dog. His lovely home was safe and comfortable and convenient. Stewart communicated well and even adjusted his schedule to accommodate our timing. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.
Nadya was terrific. She is easy to communicate with and took great care of Pixie. We got cute pictures every day. : ) Her vet tech background is reassuring - and was helpful when Pixie seemed to have an allergic reaction. I hope Pixie will get to hang out with Nadya again!
Jaimi was exceptional! Having just rolled into town from out of state and posting my dogsitting need on Rover on short notice, Jaimi was quick to provide a friendly response as well as to answer my rapid fire questions, offering a meet and greet with she and her cute and well-behaved dog, Ollie. My dog (whom I rarely place into a stranger’s care) has a history of seizures and is need of routine pill administration and careful oversight. Jaimi was super attentive and followed my protocol to a “t”. My dog loved her, Ollie and the family, as did I. I will use her again in an instant and refer her to my friends and family.
Ariane looked after our dog for four nights while we were away, and she was amazing! Our dog immediately took to her and I could tell he would be in the best hands. He looked so comfortable and happy when I picked him up, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. She was very communicative and sent daily photos and videos of him. We look forward to using Ariane again soon!
Laura & Joseph were absolutely wonderful. They were incredibly responsive, kept us updated with great photos, and made us feel completely at ease. When we picked Rainbow up, she was calm and relaxed, which honestly never happens when we leave her with others. That alone says so much about the care and attention they gave her. We truly appreciate everything they did and will absolutely be booking with them again!
Maria was absolutely wonderful in every way with my 2 Labs. So thoughtful & thorough - she made them feel right at home. She has an amazing space & yard as well as the most adorable pup. It felt to good to know they were in great hands. I’d have them stay with her again in a heartbeat!
