“We can’t thank Isabel and her husband enough for the wonderful care they’ve provided for our dog over the numerous times they’ve watched her. They recently cared for our pup while we were away on our first extended vacation, and they immediately put our minds at ease. The daily photos and updates made it clear that our dog was having a vacation of her own, surrounded by two genuinely caring people who gave her so much love, attention, and affection. Every time we leave her with them, we know she’s in the best hands. It’s such a relief to have found people we trust completely, and we are forever grateful for the exceptional care they provide. We highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive pet care. Five stars all the way!”
“Carlita was amazing!! She took such great care of Cannoli, sent photo updates and was very thorough with the drop off and all communication. Cannoli didn’t want to leave when we picked her up :) We can’t wait to use Carlita again!”
About: I've had dogs growing up as long as I can remember! I've always grown up in a two-dog household and love being surrounded by dogs! I am a photographer and a coach! I have quite a bit of free time to spend with the pups. If it's not to hot outside, we like to spend our days on walks or in the park. We also love a good rainy day to watch movies and play with toys! Your dog will be treated as if they are one of our own! I have two loving dogs that are always down to play, and love a good cuddle session!
“Both Bicky and her partner were so welcoming and energetic, they maintained their place so clean and have a huge fenced backyard, which is really good for dogs to run and play fetch. They treated Simba as their own dog. They took care of him really well, we received updates with photos during his stay. Simba came back home so happy, doesn’t seem like he missed us or home at all.”
“Deanna was sooooooo awesome with Ivy. She was great and her family was awesome as well. They took very good care of my baby with my last minute booking. Thank you guys again. Can’t wait to rebook with you.”
“Laura was great with Beau and I believe Beau had a great time with Laura and her family including her dog! I would recommend Laura and I will definitely use her again! She was excellent!!”
“So grateful for Arthur taking care of Jester this weekend! We didn’t have time to do a meet and greet but when we first arrived at his home, Arthur brought his dog out and we did a walk to introduce the dogs to each other, which I thought was a great idea on Arthur’s part. They were buds the rest of the stay. Jester was very happy and enjoyed playing with Coco. Jester got a good long walk with Arthur too. Would totally book with him again!”
“Alex was so great with my 2 dogs! We had a meet and greet to introduce the dogs and she made me feel super comfortable about leaving them in capable hands. Very responsive, provided great updates, and I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. I would definitely recommend and will book again with Alex when I need a sitter!”
“Andrea was amazing! This was my first time ever using Rover and I am so pleased. I had I had to travel for work and I ended up getting a flat tire on the way home and she was understanding and amazing! I will be using her again!”
“Lily loves staying with Alsu! She is happy at drop off and pick up and I get good updates from Alsu throughout the day. I know Lily is in good hands and can enjoy my travels!”
“Very accompdating, Kind and Loving towards my dog, Zuko also came back smelling very good! All of his items were taken well care of and he was given daily walks! Overall if you want someone who cares for your fur baby like their own then book these people!”
“Thank you Hannah so much for caring for Fig and Oreo. We were very concerned about boarding them for two weeks, but Hannah was so kind and loving to our babies. We can't thank her enough for the care she provided. We will feel very comforted the next time we have to travel without our pets. Thank you Hannah!”
“Karisa took such good care of Theo when I was away for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures of his day, and he got tons of playtime with her awesome kids!”
“I’ll definitely use Yanke again! This was my first time using a dog sitter and my pup didnt even look back at me once after dropping him off. She kept me updated with pictures and even paid attention to when he needed his pain medicine and gave it to him. Love her!!”
“Shayne & Jessica were very accommodating when we had a delayed flight and had to extend the dogs’ stay for the night. We received text and picture updates!”
“Oreo had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. She has everything needed to make the dogs feel well taken care of. She shared photos with me and kept me updated how she was doing. Will certainly use her again!”
“Brittany was great! My pup Mia seemed to have a blast and fell right asleep after I picked her up. She loved playing at the dog park! Will definitely look to book with Brittany in the future”
“This was my first time using Rover at all and I’m soo happy we landed with Arden! I felt so comfortable with the situation and am really grateful for her taking the time to meet us and get to know my dog beforehand. Communication was great, receiving photo updates was great, and I was just delighted at how shockingly comfortable my dog was with a new person and new situation. Arden passed the vibe check with flying colors and we definitely hope to work with her again!”

Carlita was great with my boy Chance. He doesn't get boarded very often because I rarely leave town where I need that service. He was with her longer than anyone he's ever been with in his 3-1/2 years of life. She sent daily comments and pictures of him and kept me posted on everything. Very satisfied with the care he received and the fact that I didn't have to worry about him at all. Thank you Carlita!
This was my first time leaving Kairo for an extended period of time outside of work and with a sitter, so naturally I was a little nervous. From the start, Re’Anna was on point with communicating, attentive to things he needed and kept me updated throughout his entire stay. I received plenty of detailed updates about his walks, eating habits, playtime and overall mood, which gave me a peace of mind being in NY. I will absolutely be booking again. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, transparent, provide plenty of exercise and love not only from her but her kids as well then I highly recommend booking with Re’Anna. I couldn’t say thank you enough for taking care of Kairo!
Ashley was very flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up times. She was quick to respond and gave us daily updates about Elly! Ashley was also very proactive in asking us questions to make sure Elly was comfortable and eating her food. And gave Elly a lot of good exercise. We are so grateful!
Christa is so incredibly friendly and kind! All of my animals loved her when we did the meet and greet and my Aussie Ember had a great time for her one night boarding. Christa sent pictures from the dog park and their walks, and she was very communicative! I'm looking forward to having her house sit for me in the future!
Lori was absolutely awesome! We left our dog Jack with her for the first time for 14 days and he did great! He came back to us happy and healthy! Lori sent us pictures and updates every day. She followed all our directions and kept him comfortable and safe. We definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you Lori!
Que is amazing. My Jäger is large, high energy, smart, and a bit of a drama king. She was able to meet Jäger at his level (with what he's willing to do) and modify. He spent over a week with her and loved his time. She constantly sent me pictures. He even came back better behaved! We've definitely found Jäger's home away from home.
Chip had a great time at Kara's house! He loved playing with the other dogs, especially her foster puppy, and enjoyed their fenced in yard and toys. Kara was very responsive for scheduling both our meet and greet and stay, and her extensive experience fostering dogs gave me total confidence in her care. We would absolutely use Kara again!
Kelsea was incredible. She was fully willing to take my GSD and CBR last minute even though she hadn’t met them yet (probably because they were trained/e-collar). It was clear through the numerous pictures I received that they were well taken care of. She even ran retriever drills with my CBR while I was away. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thanks again Kelsea!
