“I can’t express how amazing my dog’s stay was with Maisha. I literally won’t book with anyone else! She sent photos and video and was incredibly responsive. My dog had a blast during his stay. I will book again and you should too if you’re reading this!”


“Janice is by far one of the best sitters I have come across on Rover. She was so good at updating me with how my dog was doing. She was very responsive and answered all of my questions in a timeline manner. She sent lots of videos and photos. She gave him lots of exercise which was important to me because my dog is very high energy. She also returned everything back to me squeaky clean. I would love to use her services again.”


“Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay. Since she has experience with cats, it greatly helped since Stanley can be a little bit difficult at times. If you need a cat sitter I recommend her as she was thoughtful and really helpful for me at a time when I really needed the help.”


“I would def recommend Jennifer! She does a great job communicating. She sent pictures of our puppy during her stay. Skylar was very happy upon picking her up and we will def be using Jennifer again for our future needs ♥️”


“Helped out in a last minute notice in a whole different state and treated pepperoni like he was their own 🥰 I can honestly say I got super lucky with them! I booked a trip to Nj to see the American Dream mall and take my son to Nickelodeon amusement park for his 2nd bday booked a hotel that accepted dogs but could not accept my dog barking and he barked when he was alone he had a bit of separation anxiety. Which I doubt it was as bad as the hotel made it but thanks god for Hsin & Paul! They were able to take pepperoni on last minute.”

“Nitisha has been taking very good care of burrito and sent us lots of updates. Burrito had nice time staying with nitisha and definitely we will be coming back to her.”


“Sridevi and her husband were great! Took great care of our lab, including providing cooked meal as per his schedule. Very easy communication and timely updates, with lots of pictures and videos that kept us up to date on his whereabouts. I would gladly refer her and use services again as needed.”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I’m attentive, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I’m also familiar with basic training, giving medications, and making sure every pet feels loved like they’re part of the family. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because of my two dogs, Bobby and Dutch. They’ve taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and being present. My daily routine already includes early morning walks, feeding schedules, cleaning up, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. Caring for them has made me naturally organized and attentive to the needs of other pets. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing a slower pace, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and part of the family. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routine closely including meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime while creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced with crate training and can help reinforce good habits, making sure pets feel secure in their space. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, carefully following instructions to ensure their health and well-being. I keep everything clean, provide regular updates to owners, and treat every pet like family. Thanks to Bobby and Dutch, I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love in pet care.

“We are so happy that Kira could take great care of our puppy again. Clover always has the best time at Kira’s place — we know she is safe and loved there!”


“This is the second time our dog Charlie has stayed with Tynesha and her family. They take great care of him, give him lots of love, share photos throughout the time we are away. In addition to walks, there is a nice big fenced back yard where he can run. If you have to be away, you really could not ask for more.”


“This was our first time ever leaving our 10-month-old pup with a sitter, and Koryn made it an incredibly smooth experience. From the moment we met, we felt confident he was in great hands. She took such thoughtful care of him and kept us updated, which gave us real peace of mind. It’s clear she not only looked after him but genuinely enjoyed her time with him. We’ll absolutely be booking with Koryn again—couldn’t have asked for a better first-time experience!”


“Katherine and Walter are the best! Their house with their awesome back yard is perfect for dogs and they took great care of ours. It was obvious they loved it there they didn’t want to leave lol. They are definitely “dog” people. Thanks a million!!!”


“So happy i finally found a sitter i can trust! Super responsible & keeps me updated. My baby is always happy when i pick him up letting me know he’s enjoying the time spent with Jay & Benji.”


“Desiree did amazing job with my little Buddy when I was away. He had some appetite changes, and Desiree was patient with him and made sure he was able to eat. He is well rested and content after his stay. I appreciate how caring and kind Desiree is with my little pup. 😊😊😊”



“Te'Ana was great. Updated me the entire trip and sent photos. I have a senior and a puppy, both super stubborn breeds, which is no small task. She still handled these guys like a champ, despite her own pup having an accident while I was out of town. She even washed their beds prior to pick-up. I would definitely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend!”


“It was great booking with Orlando and Christina again. They were very accommodating while boarding our dog when we went out of town for a few days. They sent pictures and maintained communication with us throughout his stay!”


“Noelle and Victor took very good care of our dog, and responded promptly to my messages. Special requests were honored, timely updates were provided, and best of all were the home-made treats that our little dog really enjoyed! I really wish I could give Noelle more than 5 stars for her exceptional care and professionalism.”
