“Kyle and his family took wonderful care of Koko! They took him on long walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which I really appreciated. They were even patient enough to spoon-feed Koko when he was being a picky eater. Kyle is very responsive and flexible with timing. I will definitely book with them again!”
About: I’ve spent over ten years caring for dogs and cats of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to wise seniors. I work as a shepherd and look after sheep, goats and dogs, which has helped me stay calm, attentive and aware of behavior, safety,and fun. I’m trained in safe handling, bite prevention, and canine behavior and I rely on positive reinforcement to support pets. I take the responsibility of caring for your furry family seriously, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while in my care. Animals are part of my everyday life. I make sure pets get attention, walks, playtime, and companionship on a regular schedule so they’re happy and healthy. I prioritize safety and comfort in every home. Pets are supervised, loved, and cared for with positive reinforcement so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away.
“Julie (Loona) was great with my 12 pound terrier, Pippa. I got lots of updates and pictures! Loona's dog, Mardi, was super patient with my pup, and Pippa had so much fun playing with him. I will definitely be going back!”
“Shelia took such great care of Leif with a last minute booking. She sent photos so I knew he was happy and cozy. She even took time to brush him and play with toys, and recommended senior supplements she used for her dogs. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the next couple weeks!”
“Lindsey is amazing! She took great care of Maddie and she had so much fun with Hawk. Lindsey is so sweet and she kept me updated on Maddie with pictures and videos. Maddie would definitely be staying with Lindsey and Hawk again. Thank you so much!”
“I booked with Earl super last minute so I really appreciated him getting back to me and watching Norma. She stayed for one night and seemed very relaxed when I got her back which I thought was awesome. Earl sent me some photos of her during her stay to keep me updated. Will definitely book again :)”
“Couldn’t be happier with our experience with Marina. She was very kind and accommodating. She took great care of Finn and took him for walks. It was so nice to get pictures and videos. It was easy to communicate.”

Stacie was always quick to respond and sent photos while we were away, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Catherine saved us with a last minute request to care for our dog. We were on vacation and our previously booked Rover reservation had to cancel last minute. Catherine was caring and a great communicator. We will definitely use her again!”
“Hannah & Noah were great! Had a last minute trip and our usual sitter wasn’t available so we chose Hannah & Noah to watch our golden retriever. She sent pictures and texts through the trip!”
“Katy provided a true at home experience and sent daily pictures of our Schnauzer cuddled up next to her lovely daughter. When we picked her up, Stella ran to members of Katie’s family as well as us. She was clearly comfortable with them. My husband was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home with us! We booked late on a holiday weekend and ended up rescheduling our pick up time to a couple hours later. Katie was totally accommodating. We had a perfect boarding experience! Thanks Katie and also to your lovely family. We hope to see you again soon!”
“Heather is amazing! Daisy had a great time and came back with no anxiety from being away from us or from her home. We will use Heather from now on. When we first met with Heather she was very concerned about making sure that Daisy fit in well with all the other dogs. She has a specific routine of where you drop off and pick up (different door) to keep the feels of the dog consistent - this is where i go to visit Heather, this is where i go when mommy and daddy pick me up. Also, she sent us cute video's and pictures of Daisy while we were away - that made us feel very relaxed as well. Thank you Heather and Rover.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
About: I have been Petsitting for over 5 years and I also worked at a few grooming salons so I have experience with all breeds of dogs as well as some cats birds and other animals I currently work from home so besides appointments every now and then my schedule is very open and flexible with helping out with your pets I am very responsible and follow any instructions given to me . I always keep your pet safe and treat them as if they were my own
About: I've always had a dog. I had dogs growing up, I adopted a dog when I moved out on my own, and I adopted another dog when my children were old enough. Dogs are an important and special part of the family. I enjoy giving them attention, taking them for walks, brushing them, and of course, cuddling with them. I am observant of their communication styles, and use my observation skills to make sure I attend to their needs and keep them happy. I lost my special girl recently, and this is the first time in a while I am without my own dog. I would love to help you care for your dog while I decide whether to adopt again. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to go for walks and give potty breaks almost anytime day and evening. I live in a townhouse that does not have a fenced yard. However, I used to take my dog for several walks per day for both exercise and potty breaks. Dogs are welcome in any part of the house, or can be restricted to downstairs, depending on their needs. I am happy to visit your pet in your home to offer a potty break, take for a walk, or just give some attention.
“We are incredibly grateful to have Heather D. as our go-to dog sitter! They always go above and beyond to ensure our pup is happy, healthy, and well-cared for. From daily walks to playtime and snuggles, Heather D. truly treats our dog like their own. Their reliability, kindness, and love for animals shine through every visit. Highly recommend!”

Delilah had a nice little vacation with Lindsey and Hawk while I was away. I always know she is in great, capable hands with Lindsey. I look forward to the pics and check-ins from her every day. Delilah is always so tuckered out from her active and adventurous stay with Lindsey!
Kyle and his family took wonderful care of Koko! They took him on long walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which I really appreciated. They were even patient enough to spoon-feed Koko when he was being a picky eater. Kyle is very responsive and flexible with timing. I will definitely book with them again!
Sherry is the absolute best!! Truly nobody takes better care of my puppy than she does. Sherry is so kind and knowledgeable and she sends so many updates. My puppy was recovering from a paw injury while staying with Sherry and she kept a close eye on it and was constantly making sure he was comfortable and happy! Nothing more I could ask for from her🫶 he comes home exhausted and so happy from lots of adventures with Sherry and DeJa!

Larissa is a beautiful person who provides a safe, fun and loving environment for your pet. Sammy has separation anxiety and isn’t around other dogs often but Larissa displayed a lot of patience and reassurance when it came to his care. I appreciate her for being transparent, sharing cute photos and accommodating me at a short notice. Sammy and I look forward to seeing her next time.
Madison was amazing! She accommodated me at short notice and took very good care of my baby. My doodle has seperation anxiety and she maneuvered through it very well. Provided a crate and toys of her own just to make him comfy. The pics and updates she sent let me know my dog was happy and felt safe in her care. I look forward to her caring for my dog in the future.
