“We couldn't be happier with Alyssa, and our dogs loved their weekend stay with her! We got updates about both how they were behaving and the activities they did. We could tell she was making efforts to keep the two of them entertained and stimulated, as they came back exhausted. We also got videos and pictures that were very entertaining and reassuring while we were gone. Our dogs can be difficult and have a few things to keep track of, but this did not seem to bother Alyssa and she exceeded our expectations! We will be repeating this experience and would recommend her to our family and friends.”


“I am from out of town and was on a 1.5 week long road trip. I needed someone to watch my dog for the weekend while I went to a wedding. I was worried about finding someone who would actually give her the attention she needs as I have a very highly active dog. Angel was great, she had a cage and bed my dog was able to use and had another dog to play with. She sent lots of pictures and stayed in contact / answered any questions I had. She was also super flexible with time pick ups changing and providing medication/keeping an eye on a cut for my pupp. Highly recommend Angel to keep your pets safe and you worry free!”



“Pamela was great, she took my dog Pinky last minute and let her stay in her bed with her so she wouldn't have to interact with other dogs. On the last day that Pinky was with her, she had diarrhea all over her bedroom and all Pamela cared about was making sure Pinky was okay. Would definitely recommend her!”


“Mareika was able to watch our dog on short notice and we’re glad we found her! Clear communication, provided updates during his stay and was an easy drop off/pickup process. Our dog can be anxious in a new space but he adapted quickly with Mareika and her pup. We’d absolutely recommend her!”


“Craige accommodated my last-minute request to board my pup for 4 days and made my first Rover experience seamless. He was upfront and transparent during the meet-and-greet, answering all my questions and putting my mind at ease. His home is clean, and he was attentive to my pup’s needs, keeping me updated with photos. I highly recommend Craige for anyone looking for an affordable and reliable dog sitter!”


About: I have raised three reactive dogs in my lifetime so far. I understand the patience and commitment to making sure your pets are happy and healthy in every aspect and accommodated for! I work full time, but my job is very flexible. I usually will have an assignment outdoors that rarely take more than two hours to finish so I’m able to stop by home or your home and make sure the animals are doing fine. I have availability Sunday to Sunday! in my own home I have a large fenced in yard, and I have with me my sweet dog Kiwi, she loves bigger dogs to play with. We will play soccer outside usually or do some gardening! Located close to the Euclid Creek reservation, we frequent walks around the trail.

“Our Havanese enjoyed his time with Anne! She was communicative with drop off/pickup and providing us updates. She bonded with our dog over the weekend he boarded with her. Taking him out for 4 walks, a pupcone at Starbucks and treats/meals we had provided - she was an ideal petsitter. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity comes up.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and the proud owner of a 7-year-old Pug. I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog — from feeding and walking to playtime and basic grooming. I understand how important it is to give pets love, attention, and consistent care. I’m patient, responsible, and truly enjoy being around dogs of all kinds. Whether your pup needs a walk, a cuddle buddy, or just someone to keep them company, I’d be happy to help and treat them like family! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I take my own dog for a walk twice a day — once in the morning and once in the afternoon — and I make sure he has fresh water, food, and plenty of playtime. I’m already used to spending time with dogs every day, so adding another furry friend to my routine fits in smoothly. I enjoy caring for dogs, and it’s something I look forward to as part of my day. I take my dog out for walks twice a day — once in the morning and once in the afternoon — and I’d do the same for your pup. I always make sure dogs have fresh water and healthy food, and I’ll keep you updated with daily photos so you can see how your dog is doing. Your dog will also have a fun companion — my friendly Pug loves to play with other dogs and is great with new friends. I treat every dog like family and will make sure yours feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away.
