“Liz took great care of Zoe. She gave updates often and sent pics. Zoe looked like she was having a great time playing with her dogs. When we picked her up at the end of the day, Zoe was excited to see us but also seemed to miss her new friends. I'm happy and comfortable knowing that my girl was well taken care of and had a good time, entertained by other dogs and kids. Thanks Liz for taking care of Zoe and we'll see you soon!”
“Genevieve and her husband are INCREDIBLE! We are so thankful that we found them. Our pup had a blast with willow and Genevieve and her husband were so kind and communicative. They sent us great pics of our boy playing and taking naps which put our minds at ease. We will definitely be coming back for day care and overnights! Thank you SO much!”
“I am a regular with Dustin. Kobe enjoys himself every time and he is very flexible. Last minute or far in advance, Dustin has always been a good communicator. Please use his services, he is great!”
“Aloysius is a nice dude with good energy! He kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout my day. My pup had a great day with him. Love that he takes the dogs on walks too. Highly recommend 🙂”
“Jason took great care of my Theodore! Took him on walks, let him get lots of snuggles and love! He came home and was as completely tuckered out after his stay! Thank you Jason for making him a part of your pack!”
“Colin was sooo good with my dog, Fluffy- who can be particular with new people. He is patient, detail oriented, thoughtful, and provided great updates throughout the day. His home is clean and safe for dogs. I’ll continue to use him as a sitter for Fluffy for as long as he’ll have him!”
“Every pet parent’s wish is that their fur child gets the same love and care at a sitter’s as they do at home. Ann provides exactly that. She is responsible (arranges meet and greets of all dogs she cares for) and adheres to all provided care instructions as well as send picture/video updates throughout the day. I love that dogs are allowed to roam free in her house as it provides a more “home-like” environment compared to other typical boarding facilities. She is great to communicate with regarding scheduling and understanding when emergencies come up. Ann has been my dog Ollie’s go to daycare and boarding service for the past two years. But honestly, she’s gone above and beyond to be more than that. Ollie enjoys spending time at her house and even gets invited to her dog’s birthday party every year. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kylie and Anthony took my pups on a literal last minute dog sitting day. Saved my life ! Kylie was communicative and sent pictures of the pups so I knew they were taken care. When I got pups they are tired ! They had fun”
“Our first time using Rover for our Sheepadoodle. Sam made Harry feel at home and was very kind. He sent us a few pictures and updates. Will definitely book with him again ?”
About: I've always loved animals and dreamed of having a pet of my own. That dream finally came true four years ago when we welcomed my sweet dog, Zucchini, into our lives! Before Zucchi, I often watched friends’ dogs when they traveled, and I always had a great time with them, taking them on walks, playing fetch, and getting all the cuddles. Now, with Zucchi by my side, it’s even better when I care for other dogs. He’s incredibly friendly and loves having a buddy to hang out and play with. Whether it’s a quiet stroll through the neighborhood or a playful afternoon at the park, I make sure every pup feels loved, safe, and at home. I'm reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all kinds. Whether they’re high-energy and love to run or more relaxed and just want snuggles, I adapt to their needs and personalities! I live with my husband (who also loves animals) in a house with a pretty backyard and plenty of room inside the house for dogs to hang out. I currently work from home during the week and one or two days for a few hours during the weekend, so I’m home with Zucchi most of the time. On the days I do step out, it’s usually just for a short errand, like going to the gym, picking up groceries, or grabbing dinner, and I'm rarely gone for more than two hours at a time. I have a sunny, fully fenced yard with a beautiful view, two trees, and some plants. It’s one of Zucchi’s favorite spots—he loves lounging in the sun, sniffing around, and just hanging out in the fresh air.
“From the moment I dropped Gunnar off to when I picked him up, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention provided. I cannot recommend this dog sitter enough for her outstanding service. Communication was a standout aspect of the dog sitting experience. Heidi provided regular updates, including photos of Gunnar, which greatly reassured me during my time away. I appreciated the prompt responses to any queries or concerns I had, demonstrating her dedication to excellent customer service. Gunnar returned home happy and content, which is a testament to the Heidi’s expertise in creating a positive and stimulating environment. In addition to the superb care provided to Gunnar, Heidi also demonstrated professionalism and reliability. I felt confident leaving Gunnar in her care, knowing she would maintain the same level of responsibility and dedication as I would myself. Overall, my experience with Heidi was exceptional, and I highly recommend her services to any dog owner seeking reliable, compassionate, and professional care.”
“I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Coyol, with Shakyra for the day! From the start, she was incredibly patient during both drop-off and pick-up, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing Coyol was in good hands. She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved! Shakyra was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about Coyol’s well-being. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Shakyra!”
About: I've been rescuing animals since I was a young child. Birds, reptiles, cats, dogs, etc I have a great amount of patience when it comes to the comfortability and engagement of animals and others pets. With a love and respect for nature side by side with animals I've found a place in the world where I can truly be myself. Usually free most mornings during the week. And afternoons into the evening on weekends. My schedule varries but I am likely to get a set schedule as soon as I see the needs for this app. Depending on the level of training your pet may be at I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I am attentive to there needs as far as activity levels. Feeding times and always making sure there is fresh water as needed.

david r.
“Every since I have worked with David at the alpha project for the homeless I've witnessed him in a light that not many people know how to shine in. His selflessness is his best quality I'd say but even when he has obstacles or setbacks he is constantly bettering his approach and becoming better from it. As far as his care for animals well we all called him the dog whisperer in the group. And he always had treats from the dogs in the shelter. He has sat for my puppy multiple times and she absolutely adore him.”

Genevieve and her husband are INCREDIBLE! We are so thankful that we found them. Our pup had a blast with willow and Genevieve and her husband were so kind and communicative.

Audrey was an outstanding pet sitter for our dog. Our dog is typically shy and takes time to warm up to people, but Audrey built rapport with our dog immediately and made her feel loved and safe. We are absolutely grateful for finding her to take care of our dog! Audrey has such calm and caring energy that made all the difference with our dog! I know that our dog will miss seeing Audrey! I will definitely book with her the next time we are in need of care! Thank you so much Audrey!
I can’t say enough good things about Mo and Eugene! They took such amazing care of my two Frenchies, Manny and Jimmy. Not only were they incredibly kind and attentive, but they went above and beyond to make sure my boys were comfortable and happy. They took them on walks and even brought a wagon with their water in case they got too warm or tired to walk back. A sweet and smart touch, especially for flat-faced pups like mine. I felt comfortable knowing Manny and Jimmy were in such caring hands. Highly recommend Mo and Eugene to anyone looking for loving, reliable sitters!
I’m so happy I found him! He works from home so he spent a ton of time with my baby. I work variable shifts at the hospital so he was really flexible about boarding him over night and the pickup/drop off times to accommodate my graveyard. He FaceTimed me so I could say goodnight to my baby and sent me lots of pics of their adventure. HIGHLY recommend!!!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received while I am at work. Cassandra was incredibly reliable, attentive, and loving with my pup. From daily updates and adorable photos to going the extra mile with walks and playtime, it was clear my dog was in great hands. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for dog—and that peace of mind is priceless. I highly recommend Cassandra to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their furry family member!
Melina seemed to be great with Milo. We were glad to see our dog happy and relaxed when we picked them up from their stay. It's clear they were comfortable. While we were pleased with how well our dog seemed, we would have appreciated more consistent updates or communication during his time with her since it was a one time thing. But overall we are happy with our experience.
I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Coyol, with Shakyra for the day!
