“Gabriel is a wonderful guy, it is obvious how caring he is with the dogs. The videos were wonderful seeing our furry family member while away. I will definitely use Gabriel for my next need of Doggy Care”
“Julia and Hugo were absolutely wonderful. Nacho had such a great time with them, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for. They kept us updated throughout his stay and were incredibly attentive to his specific feeding routine. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We would wholeheartedly recommend them and can’t wait to work with them again.”
“Priti and her husband did a wonderful job! She provided plenty of updates and pictures of my pup throughout the stay. She was very communicative and always provided a quick response. She was also very friendly and had a nice welcoming home for my dog who settled in instantly. Highly recommended and would book again.”
“Nancy is wonderful, kind an caring. I was gone for 6 days and Nancy would send me updates few times a day including pictures. My dog is old and needs patience and love and Nancy would provide all of that and beyond! I would highly recommend Nancy to take care of your pet.”
“Liliya did a wonderful job boarding our dog! She was so communicative, took wonderful pictures, and took care of our pup while he had an upset stomach. She is wonderful and we would highly recommend her, and her family to anyone looking for dog care or boarding!”
“Jacqueline and her daughter always take amazing care of my Mango! She always has a great time with them and the daily pictures and updates give me reassurance while I’m away. 10/10”
“Tracee was very friendly and responsive. She took great care of my little dog and kept me up to date with pictures. My dog doesn’t always eat when I’m away, but she ate regularly with Tracee so I know she was comfortable. I would recommend her services and plan to use her again!”
“jacqueline was fantastic and I have already booked her again. She was very responsible and also set us many pictures which we loved! I look forward to working with her again. Theo loved her!!!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to Nancy and John for a week, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped off my dog, I could tell that Nancy was not just a sitter, but a true animal lover. I received regular photos and messages, which reassured me that my pup was in good hands. I highly recommend nancy to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“We are so grateful for Kira!! Bailey is so excited the second we pull into her driveway. He is completely exhausted from all the running and playing with other dogs in her big backyard. It is such a relief to know he is loved and well cared for while we are away.”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”
“Julie was really great with our anxious dog who really does not warm up to strangers. She understood that our dog needed space and time. By the end of the 24hour stay she and our dog had bonded which speaks volumes regarding Julie’s demeanor and ability to read a dog. Additionally, Julie is extremely responsive. Due to weather we needed to adjust our stay and she quickly responded to my messages and helped work through how to navigate the Rover site ? We are looking forward to having our dog stay with Julie again soon.”
“Briana was awesome! She clearly loves animals and has had a lot of experience taking care of them. She put me quickly at ease with taking care of our doggo. We loved receiving pictures of her while we were away. Briana would also reach out with a question, as needed, which we welcomed. She took great care of our sweet doggo! We highly recommend her for any pet sitting!”
“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”
“Sarah was great with Baci! Very attentive to details and my care instructions, checked in with photos, and communicated well. She’s a nice person and so are her kids, and I will definitely have her sit for Baci again. Thank you Sarah!”
“Nicole cared for our 2 kittens for 3 nights and it couldn’t have been better! We got multiple updates and cute pictures throughout the day which made being away a lot easier. We are so grateful that they were in such good care, and would definitely recommend her!!”
About: I have spent much of my life with family and friends’ dogs, seeing them through every stage of life. My home is currently pet-free but I enjoy volunteering as a caretaker at a nearby rescue where I help walk and play with pups awaiting adoption. I love helping them decompress and build their confidence. I currently work a hybrid schedule that has me out of the house for almost 12 hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I keep these days unavailable. If I have the ability to adjust to accommodate your needs, I will try my best, just ask! Calm and quiet home, pet-free, no kids, non-smoking. No fenced-in yard but easy access to bike trail for walking. Seniors welcome but must be able to handle stairs. I prefer crating dogs when I leave the home for extended periods of time, until I am more familiar with their behavior. I typically don’t board cats but if your pup has a feline sibling, you are more than welcome to reach out!
“Liza was amazing! Our dog Scooby stayed with her for 5 nights and she sent us daily photos and updates. It looked like he had a great time there. He seemed to want to stay when I picked him up!!! When ever we travel Liza will be the first option to take care of Scooby!”

I was looking for care for my pup last minute for the Thanksgiving holiday and while a number of sitters reached out to help, Sandra stood out with her friendly nature and well-informed questions to ensure she and Ella would be a good fit. I’m so glad they were because Ella had a blast. Sandra was so welcoming when we arrived to drop Ella off and was quick to befriend our very energetic pup. She even had fresh water out and toys at the ready to help her feel at home. I felt completely at ease leaving Ella in her care and the daily updates and photos during her stay maintained that. Sandra was very understanding of Ella’s young, vivacious nature and accommodated her needs with such care. She was mindful of Ella’s history as a rescue and navigated Ella’s novice-level manners with grace. It honestly felt like Sandra took care of our pup as if she were her own. One of the picture updates Ella was even sleeping belly up! Which for her especially is a big deal with someone new. I would absolutely have Sandra take care of Ella again, she was wonderful with her and so incredibly kind to us. An absolute gem.
Jennifer was fantastic! She took such good care of my dog. She sent me photos and updated me daily. I'm so glad i found her. Her family was a bonus as well, they were genuinely happy to play and cuddle with my pup. I would highly recommend them, and will be using Jennifer again in the future.
Abby is a 10 yr. old Havanese - and the most universally beloved member of our family. Thus, our prime concern while way from home was Abby's well being. Christine alleviated those concerns completely. Christine is professional in planning for the care of your dog. She checks for compatibility with her dog, Genji, and her children before she agrees to board your dog. Christine is a great communicator before and during the boarding period. Her daily pictures and short videos of Abby sent to us while we were away were a delight. Our extended family could see Abby thriving and visibly enjoying her stay with Christine. (We were not sure Abby would want to leave Christine to return to our home as Abby looked so happy and occupied.) Christine was a "real find."
Jackie is absolutely amazing. We have a 90 pound bernedoodle and he is in love with her. She is totally responsible and stays at our house. She is highly communicative and sends updates while we are away. We are so lucky to have found her and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with a furry loved one. I will always reach out to her when we are away. Thank you!
