“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”
“James took such great care of my dog Fletcher for a 3 night stay! I got daily updates with pics and James had Fletcher happily waiting for an easy quick pick up! My dog LOVED playing with James' dogs. HIGHLY recommend James!”
“Leslie is a reliable and experienced caregiver. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel completed an entire week with Leslie. He enjoyed time with other smaller dogs, lots of time outdoors as well, and was hand fed for each meal- typical for this breed. 😊 Leslie provides many photos along with a summary of morning and evening daily activities. Overall she is a terrific sitter, with a nice home environment for my spaniel. It’s so nice to have peace of mind when you can trust the person who is caring for your dog.”
“First time that I left my dog for 3 days and it was an amazing experience. My dog likes it so much. Evelyn is a great dog sitter and she loves dogs. Text me every day to let me know how my dog is doing with pictures and I recommend her 100%. Thank you again Evelyn. You are awesome.”
“Beth was amazing. Our small dog can be nervous around new people but she did really well with Beth. Beth was very attentive to our dog and very communicative with us. Everything went smoothly…. Zero problems. We would highly recommend her and will plan to use her again!”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful while taking care of my pup. I loved getting videos and pictures throughout his stay with her. It was obvious he was well loved and cared for while at her home. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Whether it’s an older cat or a high energy retriever, I prioritize their safety and happiness first.
“My fur baby’s home away from home. Lisa and Matt are absolutely amazing with our dog Dapper, that he almost seems sad to come home. Their daily updates are so heart warming that I don’t have a moment of worry when we are out of town, I know he’s living his best life with them. Thank you for all that you do to make our fur family your own family while we’re out of town.”

“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with my boys! I’ve struggled with finding a reliable and responsible sitter for my two pups and I could not be happier to have found Tiffany! She took care of them like they were her own and gave awesome updates. The boys were so happy and well cared for while I was away. She is the best!”
“Merve took great care of both of our Maltipoos, including our puppy! She was so attentive and they both came back home exhausted annd happy after playing with Merve’s family and her dog. We would highly recommend Merve to care for your pets!!”
“Stephany came very highly reviewed and for good reason! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process from booking through pick up and took fantastic care of our dog. She didn't miss a day of photos and provided consistent updates, which is always a great relief when entrusting someone to care for your loved one. She provide Rex his own space so that he could have quiet and solitude when needed, but also ample play and outdoor time. Rex left a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“Faith is timely with her responses and has great communication. She sends updates and pics. Her schnauzer Levee is a sweet dog and got along well with my Bree. My dog Bree seemed to be very happy and comfortable during her time with Faith.”

I recently lost my beloved Labradoodle, Buddy, and I'm really looking forward to having your precious fur baby(ies) stay with me in my home while you travel. If you have a pup and a kitty, I would love to host them together. =^..^= I am self-employed and work remotely from my home. I love having animals around me and hope you will allow me to host your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a pet-friendly home. I often send photos and videos, and am happy to FaceTime with you and your pets, so you know your pets are safe and cozy here in my home. Before confirming, if you'd like to stop by for a visit or check in over a FaceTime, I'm more than happy to get to know you, first.
About: I work from home. Had an Auzzie Doodle who lived over 15+ years and passed a year ago (in the profile picture). Dog friendly house - fenced in back yard. Primarily open to watch any kind of ...doodle. Doing it because I miss my old boy and have the time since I work from home. You and your doodle (and me) will be very happy. I'm available as I work from home and have always had a dog so I know how to bond quickly with them so they feel safe in my home. Like they were my own. Very calm environment. No other animals, no children. Just me and your dog. Nice neighborhood for long walks as needed.
“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”

Riley had a great time staying with Leslie! We really enjoyed the updates and Pictures she provided during his stay. As an “only” dog, Riley loves staying at places where he has some dog friends to play with and he definitely got that option at Leslie’s. Riley got lots of outside play time and cuddles. We will definitely be booking with her again.
Leslie was absolutely amazing with my pup during a weekend overnight stay! She was attentive, patient, and clearly very experienced with puppies. I received regular photo updates and messages, which I really appreciated and made me feel completely at ease. My pup came home happy, well cared for, and comfortable, which speaks volumes. I truly appreciated the love and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Leslie again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
My dog Cupcake stayed with Mr. James for 3 days while I was away on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. When I came back to pick her up, she seemed like she didn’t even want to leave that says everything! Mr. James took great care of her, and the place was clean, safe, and a very nice environment. I felt comfortable and at peace knowing Cupcake was in good hands. I highly recommend Mr. James to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Stephany came very highly reviewed and for good reason! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process from booking through pick up and took fantastic care of our dog. She didn't miss a day of photos and provided consistent updates, which is always a great relief when entrusting someone to care for your loved one.

Giselle had a great time with Charlotte and her other pup guests. Charlotte kept me updated on how my little girl was doing along with pictures everyday. Was even able to keep my pup calm and comfortable during the fireworks. I really appreciate the great care and love she gave my little one. I plan on contacting Charlotte through Rover again for Giselle's care for any future trips!
Delia is the sweetest! She is very responsive from booking through the stay, she made me feel at ease with quick replies and pictures. I felt my dog was with someone who adored almost as much as I do. Delia is very responsible. Poor Delia was also incredible when my older pup lost a tooth, she alerted me immediately, brought her to my vet, followed up with them ensuring they triple checked to make sure she was alright, and then was there for my pet for everything she needed, all while communicating with me. She gave my dog the love and care that we all would hope for our pets when we are not there. After a tough travel morning, Delia was flexible when we got home earlier than expected and even brought our girl home. I appreciate the level of care and look forward to booking with her again soon!
Sheryl was amazing!!! She was kind, thoughtful, and super attentive to my dog’s needs and sent me photos and updates all along the way. I appreciated her attention to detail in my dog’s routine very much. She was easy to book with and was flexible with my schedule. Incredibly positive experience and would highly recommend!!
