“I highly recommend Allison. She sends photos and updates and confirms arrival and departure times . Minnie has special diet needs and she follows the info I provide. Her home is easy to find and Minnie seems to enjoy exploring her fenced in yard. She is very sweet with Minnie so she loves to cuddle right into her when I drop her off.”

“We are so happy we found Andrea! We only recently moved to the area and needed a dog sitter for a weekend so that we could celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with a brief getaway to the ocean. Andrea was absolutely delightful. She picked up our puppies at our house, making it easier for us and our planning efforts. She sent us updates and photos throughout the stay, always keeping us apprised. The dogs were perfectly calm and content when we picked them up and even appeared a little sad when we drove off to take them home. All in all, Andrea was very open, a great communicator, extremely accommodating, and so very friendly. We highly recommend her services and are sure to return for more.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly treat them like family. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also adopted and lovingly cared for a difficult senior dachshund for years, which gave me valuable experience with patience, senior dog needs, routines, and extra attentiveness. Today I have a large Bernedoodle, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well as energetic pups who need exercise and structure. I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor time when appropriate, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, snuggles, and supervision. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. I understand every dog is different, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day for the pets in my care. Because I’m home most of the time, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long stretches. My flexible routine also makes it easy for me to stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having visitors and does well with other dogs, while always making sure introductions are done thoughtfully and safely. I have a yard for outdoor time, and while it is not fenced, I use a secure runner/tie-out system and close supervision so dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and time outside. I also keep dogs leashed on walks and anytime they are outdoors for added safety. If your dog is crate-trained or more comfortable with their own space, I’m happy to accommodate crating and follow your normal home routine. I always aim to keep pets on their regular schedule for feeding, exercise, rest, and any medications or special instructions. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“Paul took excellent care of my dog Pierre while I was away for 4 days. Pierre became a member of the family, eating, sleeping, hiking, playing and just hanging out. I was very reassured to see how excited & happy Pierre became when Paul arrived to pick him up. Pierre was a shelter dog, and has struggled with anxiety, so this was momentous! I will certainly use Paul again through Rover for any other services I need!”
“Amad was perfect! He was kind and gentle with the pooches and there was no drama at the drop off and lots of excitement at the pick-up. He was conscientious about instructions. I appreciated the pics/video Amad sent!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I currently have two golden retrievers and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I have experience watching both dogs and cats for others and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family — honestly, I like animals more than humans. I work full time, but I’m only a couple minutes from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to come home during the day when needed and can also work remotely at times, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly dogs to help keep your fur baby company if they enjoy socializing. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am comfortable caring for animals of all breeds and sizes. Pets are welcome on the furniture and bed because we believe they deserve to feel at home and loved while you’re away. My husband and I both have so much love to give, and we’re always happy to provide cuddles, attention, and companionship if your pet enjoys affection.
About: I've had many different pets including dogs and cats! Experienced with different ages and needs including medications, behavioral, and sizes. Available for boarding, drop in, and walks I currently work mostly from home so I'm flexible for boarding and daytime visits. Love taking long walks and spending time at home with animals. Happy to take dogs on long walks and nature adventures with permission. I have cats and rabbits at home as well. I also have separate space for boarding or day care. Looking for consistent clients to build lasting relationships between me and your pet(s), as well as any last minute needs from new clients.
“John took wonderful care of our Golden Retriever! Ruby was very happy with all the attention, care and play time she got and John was very accommodating of our needs.”

“Brittany was great to work with. She was quick to communicate/respond and she made me feel confident my dog was in good hands. She sent me pictures and my dog seemed happy and well cared for.”

“I can’t recommend Trishul enough. He treated our dogs like his own and was extremely responsive and great at keeping us informed the whole time. One of our dogs required medications at an odd schedule and he was so accommodating. I had no doubt that our dogs were in good, caring hands.”
“Katie and her family took incredible care of my little fur baby. It was the first time that Bodhi was left with anyone but family and Katie took incredible care of him. I would definitely use Katie again.”


About: I’m a CTRS and I have trained my dogs one of which is a a therapy dog that at times I will take to work. I normally do at least 15 minutes of training with my pups! I’m off Sunday Monday and Tuesday fully, and my partner is off Saturday. My day starts off walking my dogs then letting them outside to play. Your dog would be apart of that. I have a fenced backyard and a bunch of toys. The day starts off going for a walk around the block then I let the dogs run outside in the back. After that they come inside to relax and eat breakfast. I let them play in the house and sometimes chill out with their bone always supervised. 😊
“Krystal was great! Our dog Ellie had an amazing time playing with the pups and was very tired when she got home. Krystal responded very quickly and sent updates along with pictures every day. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: walking service tailored to meet the needs of both you and your furry companion. Whether you're away for work, a vacation, or just need some extra help, I ensure your dog is well cared for, exercised, and happy. My dog sitting service provides your pet with personalized attention, a comfortable environment, and plenty of playtime, while my dog walking service offers a fun, safe, and invigorating walk to keep your dog active and healthy. With a focus on trust, safety, and companionship, I aim to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving, responsible hands. I am a stay at home mom. Me and my son Liam would love to spend time with your doggo. Reach out and we can discuss further what times would work best for you and your furry babies needs. Pets feel secure with predictability, so I maintain their feeding, exercise, and play routines as closely as possible to their normal habits.Understand and respect each pet’s individual needs and preferences, such as their comfort level with strangers, exercise needs, and dietary restrictions.
“Rick and Laura are the best, and our dog could feel it the moment she met them! Sophie enjoyed playing in the fenced-in yard, going for walks and even a hike. She is timid about some things, like seeing other dogs, but Rick and Laura took the time to help her through it, so she could continue her walks. Great communication, frequent updates, and the level of care is phenomenal. Their love and compassion for animals really shows. We're planning to have Sophie go for some day stays, since she had such a great time!”

“Luis was so quick to respond anytime I reached out, and he was nice enough to send pics every day. We look forward to having our Maisie stay with him next time we travel!”

“Our dog and cat had a great stay with Alexis. She kept us up to date on how they were doing and sent lots of pictures and videos. Our dog especially can be shy at first and she was immediately comfortable with Alexis. I also appreciated that she suggested we meet beforehand so we could see where the pets would be staying and make sure everyone got along. I would definitely book again!”

“Evan took great care of Scout. Great communication throughout and Evan went above and beyond in caring for our boy. We were sent pictures and updates regularly. Scout was given so much love, exercise and care. Would def rebook. We are grateful that our pup was so loved while we were away.”

Rachel and her family are amazing! My dog has special medication and specific needs which Rachel is experienced with. I have never left my dog in anyone's caŕe in the past, yet after boarding Luna for 2 and a half days I will definitely book her again. I knew she was in safe and capable hands with Rachel. I highly recommend her!

Jessica was a fabulous caregiver for our 3-year old Lab/Aussie mix. She was loving, conscientious and followed all our suggestions, staying in daily contact with messages and pictures to reassure us that our baby was fine. We will be calling on her again when we need a dog sitter.
