About: I have been assisting my Girlfriend with many of her clients when she can't take them.I am very attentive and enjoy playing with them. I will treat every animal if it were my own.

Being older(61) I feel I am a responsible person that would make sure all my clients and their pets needs are met. I also respond to phone messages and emails promply to make sure you concerns are addressed as soon as possible.

I can give potty breaks as much as needed as my girlfriend who has been dog sitting for a few years can also assist in that. I am very attentive to your pet. Love playing with and walking them as well as just chilling on the couch with them. I am also very attentive to their feeding needs and will follow strict instructions of owner.


“I always feel at ease when Briana takes care of my dog! He’s on the smaller side and doesn’t play with other dogs often so I was a little nervous at first, but he has a great time with her pups and is tired out from all his fun when he gets home. I love getting those pictures throughout the weekend so I can see how he’s doing. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting/boarding.”


“Alina was wonderful with Schooner. She made sure he was happy and comfortable at all times. He made fast friends with her dog Laska, who snuggled close to him during a thunderstorm to help calm him. In every photo she sent, Schooner looked happy. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when I'm back in the area. thank you!”


“I loved getting daily updates and photos to let me know how my baby was doing! She looked like she had such a great time and I loved hearing how well she behaved! This was the first time she has been away from me or my family which was something I was originally worried about. However sansa felt right at home with this lovely family and I feel so much better knowing she has a place to go when needed.”


“Laura and Bill are terrific! We had a meet and greet prior to bringing our dog there for boarding. She made herself right at home. We received pictures and texts over the 2-day period, assuring us that our pup was having a grand old time. We were glad to have found them and will definitely book with them in the future.”


“Great sitter! Jennifer went out of her way to take care of my pup last minute and juggle around her other commitments. Really appreciated her help and friendliness. Our doggie was well cared for and seemed happy on pickup. Thank you!”


“My pup had a great time at Heidi’s home. She followed all of my care instructions, updated me about how he was doing, and was flexible when I had to change the drop off and pick up times. We would absolutely have Heidi watch Rufus again in the future. Thank you, Heidi!”


“Very good communication. Updates throughout the day with pictures and availability was top not notch!! Will definitely recommend and book again when need it!”

“This was one of the best Rover.com stays my pup has ever had. Rebecca has a really fun indoor/outdoor setup for pups and she is really wonderful with all kinds of dogs -- even slightly anxious ones like mine. It was great to see the pics she sent -- my pup looked really happy there! Highly recommend Rebecca!”


“Audrey was amazing with our little Shih Tzu! We were on vacation from another state and needed to find a sitter for our baby for a few nights. We were apprehensive leaving our pup with a stranger, but everything turned out great. Audrey was very knowledgeable and took very good care of Gunnar. He and the other dogs got alot of outdoor/exercise time. When we picked up our little guy, he was pooped! Audrey sent lots of photos and videos so we knew that he was safe while we were away. We’d definitely send Gunnar to Audrey again!”


“Becky was great. She accepted the booking quickly and communicated well throughout. The photos showed a group of very happy dogs - these are some of my favorite photos of my little guy. My dog can't bear to be left alone and is a sweet but insistent snuggler. He also gets the zoomies when he is nervous. She welcomed him with open arms and settled him quickly. She was sorry to see him leave, but he will definitely be back!”


“Julie-Ann was a great sitter for my little old man doggo! Excellent communicator and sent many photos of Cody relaxing and enjoying his walks. Highly recommend!!!”


“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”


“Kyle and Kaleigh have the perfect set up to watch our dog. We were completely comfortable leaving our pup with them and they were awesome about sending us pictures and communicating on how our dog was doing”

Jennifer responded to me right away when I asked for a last-minute stay for my dog. She was patient when my dog was initially nervous around her playful, large puppy. She sent lots of updates, pictures and videos to show me that Jilly was feeling comfortable and well cared for.
