“Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Scooby, felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We loved receiving the regular updates with pictures and videos, it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, she even gifted Scooby the cutest goodie bag when we picked him up! I highly recommend Andrea and will definitely trust her to watch Scooby again in the future.”

“Christle took such good care of our dog while we were away. She updated us regularly on how he was doing and we even picked him up with a new bath smell! I know he was being spoiled and taken such good care of while he was with Christle. I couldn’t have asked for a better stress free trip with her watching him.”


“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”

“Sean and Jill were great! They helped me very last minute and although I have a semi aggressive dog, they were very welcoming and not discouraged at all. Their house is perfect for dogs as they have a small doggy door. My dog followed Sean right into his house upon seeing him outside so he must have felt a good vibe haha. They also responded very quickly to messages and offered to feed him the same food they feed their dogs. Would 100% recommend them!!!”

“I totally recommend Jersey. She is super attentive to my pancake. She let me know.what was happening & also sent photos. Beyond professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable and safe, leaving pancake in her hands. I will definitely rebook .”

“I would highly recommended Ifan! This was the first time I have ever boarded my dog Charli and he regularly updated me about how Charli was doing and provided Charli with great outdoor/indoor playtime with other pup friends as well. Ifan himself was very responsive to any messages I sent him. If I ever need to board Charli again I will definitely do so with Ifan and would suggest others to do the same.”

“Haoran was absolutely amazing! She took care of my pup for five days and was incredibly attentive and patient the whole time. I really appreciated how she took the time to observe and learn about my dog’s personality to help her feel more comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and my very active dog got tons of exercise — she even went on a two-hour hike that she absolutely loved! When my pup ran out of food, Haoran kindly provided her own without hesitation. My dog can be pretty anxious, but Haoran and her husband showed such patience and genuine care. I’m so grateful for her passion for animals and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Janelle was so great and Storm had a wonderful time! She sent plenty of photos while we were away and really put us at ease! Will definitely rely on her again when we need a sitter.”

“This was our third booking with Triba and our dog’s first overnight stay - it’s so wonderful to have a sitter who we really trust & who our dog absolutely adores!”


“Alan and Luis did a great job with my big ball of fur while I was on a business trip. They sent me lots of pictures which is and updates which is a great thing to have. They let me know how she was playing with other dogs and settling in. She has some slightly unique feeding needs and they didn't bat an eye. I was very happy.”

“Rumi was great! From the moment I arrived she was so sweet and I could tell I had found the right place to leave my little guy. She has a large fenced in yard that my pup was able to run in safely. I received lots of picture and video updates through out the day and he always looked like he was smiling 😊. Every vitamin and food regimen were followed to a T. Rumi will definitely be our go to! This was my first experience with Rover, but I will definitely not be looking elsewhere. Thank you so much Rumi, you made Sky's stay so joyous and peaceful!”

“Dyan ensured that Deuce was safe and comfortable in her home. She provided me with daily photos and updates which made me feel at ease knowing that Deuce was in good hands. I will definitely continue to use Dyan in the future and recommend her services!”

About: I grew up with dogs-- Freckles, Shadow, Trixie and Coco! Rosie was my first dog on my own -- 13 years together and she recently passed away. I'm looking to fill the gap by taking care of other people's pups. I will treat your dog like my own. I know what it feels like to worry when entrusting the care of your loved one. I love a good snuggle and going for walks, and I will keep you updated with photos while you're away! I work close to my home, so I can go home on lunch for a quick potty break. I like going for walks. I took care of Rosie for 13 years, so I am comfortable with the integration into my life and spending time with a dog at home. What's the point of having a dog if you're not hanging out together? Morning, noon, after work (4:45 p.m.) and before bed -- we go out for potty breaks. We go for a walk and play with toys on the floor together. We can set up a bed and/or crate. I have a crate for medium sized dogs and also doggy steps if needed. I also have a room off the kitchen that could be a hang out area and closed off if that's the kind of set-up your dog is used to. It has slider doors to the back porch (sunshine and a little bit of a view). One door could be closed and then roam between room and kitchen with a doggy/childcare divider on the other end. It just depends on what your dog needs and prefers and we can figure it out together.

“I believe my dog had a good time thank you so much again. He is an amazing sitter and your dog will be in great care. Just don’t book him when I need him 😂. Honest guy and loves what he does.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care. Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to message me so we can discuss details and find a plan that works for both of us. 🐾 I live in an apartment, with a small space, however the complex has a dog park and a large green area. It is a calm and quiet place

About: I’m a caring and attentive dog mom with 6 years of experience and a lifelong love for animals. I’ve cared for family pets over the years and now have two sweet, friendly Shih Tzu mixes of my own. I treat every fur baby like part of my family, giving them plenty of affection, attention, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority! I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide 24-hour care and attention throughout the week and on weekends. My flexible schedule means your pup will always have company, playtime, and plenty of love. I have a spacious home with lots of room to roam, tons of dog toys and treats, and a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime. My two friendly dogs love making new friends, and I can easily crate your dog if needed for comfort or safety.

Excellent experience with Tiffani. She made us feel so comfortable leaving our precious pooch with her and her family. We were worried that our dog wouldn’t like other pets, but all went well and Tiffani sent tons of photos to reassure us. On pick up our pooch seemed well taken care of and loved. Highly recommend Tiffani! She is AWESOME! 😍😍😍😍

Rumi is our go to every time! Sky loves going to their house and he is always so happy when I pick him up. I can tell he is treated like one of the family and I always feel at peace when he is there. Thank you again Rumi & family for providing such a lovely stay for Sky and being so accommodating 🙏🙏

Didn’t get to meet Inam but Jennifer was amazing with my Ralphie! She’s very patient and kind, all the good qualities needed to take great care of your pets. They sent pictures and updates almost every day which was much appreciated. Looked like my pup had a lot of fun. I’ll definitely be using their services again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Shannia! She took amazing care of our pet Nani over the 4th of July weekend. Despite the fireworks, she made sure Nani felt safe and comfortable by spending lots of time playing and cuddling with her. Shannia kept us updated throughout with plenty of adorable pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend Shannia for dog sitting — she is kind, attentive, and truly wonderful with pets. We will absolutely reach out to her again whenever Nani needs boarding. Thank you, Shannia, for being so amazing! ☺️
