“We have left our dogs with Maureen 3 times now and she is GREAT! She keeps in contact with us by sending pictures of the things they are doing throughout the day. She has a great property for the dogs to roam around and get the exercise they need! I feel that our dogs are in great hands when they stay with her. We will definitely be using her again the near future!!!”

“Our five-year-old French bulldog had a great time at Tanvi’s! He stayed for a week and loved her huge backyard. He felt at home from the very start because he had no issues eating right away. Really appreciated her ongoing communication (we got multiple photos and videos throughout his stay), and her accommodating and positive attitude! Definitely recommend.”



“This was our first time using Rover and we were so lucky to have Xinzhi take care of Ruby over the weekend! Ruby had a blast hanging out with Xinzhi’s dog Bella. Xinzhi took great care of Ruby and she felt at home with her hospitality! She kept me updated through out the weekend posting pictures and videos of Ruby, taking her for long walks and outdoor plays and ensuring Ruby was comfortable just like being at home. I did not worry a bit about Ruby! I will use Xinzhi again for Ruby!”


“Rachel is absolutely amazing. My Jessie was happy and she took care of her with so much love and attention. She was great with keeping me updated and was very warm and inviting. I will be using her again for all my boarding. Thank you Rachel!!!”


“My little fella Mylo.. felt at home right away when he visited Ginnette. Ginnette was so caring, patient and knew exactly what Mylo needed. He is a picky eater and she worked around his moods to get him to eat and that was a big relief for me. Thank you for being so amazing and keeping me updated with pictures and videos. Mylo felt so loved.. we will definitely visit again.”


“Ryan was absolutely amazing with my dog, Rio! He took great care of him, was super attentive, and kept me updated the whole time. Rio came back happy and relaxed, which says a lot. I’ll definitely be leaving Rio with Ryan again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”


“Tom was great! He’s very friendly and worked well with our dog Lyla! He gave great feedback on her stay so we weren’t worried about our dog at all! I’d highly recommend Tom!”


About: Hello! Come and hangout with Me, Bella (4yr old chocolate lab), Levii (3yr old Husky) and Hunter (8yr old cat)! I have many years of experience caring for animals as well as worked at a doggy day care previously! My dogs are very energetic so your pet will have a great time. With my large yard and spacious living room there is so much room for your pets to play and lots of toys. I will care for your pet as if they were mine. I have great attention to detail so they will be in good hands. I’m currently off on weekends and Mondays so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet throughout those days. My remote days are flexible so availability will be on a per week basis. I have a large fenced in yard and two great dogs that will keep your pet entertained! I have a very friendly cat that naps all day. My large living room allows for plenty of space to play. I live in a very walkable town so walks are easy.

“Excellent care! Jacquelyn and Bryan were super attentive and loving to my Ollie girl. They sent pictures and updates throughout and I felt comfortable for the entirety of the stay that she was in good hands. Highly recommend :)”

“I am very happy with the care my dog received while we were away. Denise sent lots of photos and updates. I trust that she treated my dog like her own.”


“Sayak went above and beyond of our expectations. Great sitter. Great communication, always stays in touch, sent pictures throughout the day. Rex had a wonderful time. We highly recommend him. We can’t thank him and his family enough and will definitely book him again. Thanks for everything.”


“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”


“Alyssa took great care of Oreo. She was patient, gentle, and punctual. She kept us informed on how Oreo was doing so we could feel comfortable being away from Oreo. We will definitely ask her to sit Oreo again!”


“Fantastic Dog Sitting Experience! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with Ahmad! Ahmad was incredibly responsive, keeping me updated throughout my dog Leo's week-long stay. I truly appreciated the regular pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing Leo was happy and well cared for. It was clear that Leo was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! 🐶✨ Thank you, Ahmad!”

I've structured my work and personal life around providing excellent care. My mornings start early with dog walks before the day gets busy. I work flexible hours so I can accommodate different pickup times and give each dog proper attention throughout the day. Weekends are often my busiest times for overnight stays, which works perfectly since I prefer spending my weekends hanging out with dogs anyway. I've found that caring for pets actually improves my own routine, it keeps me active, gives structure to my days, and provides the kind of unconditional companionship that makes every day better. In My Home Your dog becomes part of my daily routine from the moment they arrive. I start each morning with a good walk and breakfast, then we settle into a comfortable rhythm. I work from home, so your pup gets constant companionship and attention throughout the day. They have access to my living room and kitchen areas, plus a secure backyard for supervised play and bathroom breaks. Evenings include another good walk, dinner, and plenty of couch time if they're cuddlers. I keep detailed notes about their eating, bathroom habits, and any quirks I notice to share with you. In Your Home I treat your space with complete respect while keeping your dog's routine as normal as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walking routes, and house rules exactly. Your pup gets the same level of attention and care, but in their familiar environment with all their favorite spots and toys. I also take care of basic house tasks like bringing in mail and watering plants if needed.

“I was visiting from out of town and Mansi was a great sitter! My dog was comfortable with her and played well with her dog Cookie who is well behaved. I highly recommend Mansi and will definitely use her in the future when I visit the area!”
