“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”
“Yang has a wonderful caring family that loves animals. My dog can be scared and nervous about new people and other dogs but he loved Yang and her family. Because of my dog’s behavior, she agreed to do a trial stay. I appreciate how Yang kept me updated on how my dog is doing.”
“Oana and Oliver took wonderful care of my 12 yr old dog Molly. Communication and scheduling went smoothly and we had a meet & greet first. Oana was very willing and attentive to giving Molly her several daily medications (some with food, some on an empty stomach, etc). Molly had a great time and I look forward to having her stay with Oana and Oliver again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”
“Yesika was a fantastic dog parent for Boeing during our 2-week trip away. She was very attentive, looked after him so well, and took care of him when he was afraid of the fireworks. Thank you!”
About: I grew up in Burlington, Vermont surrounded by dogs and have had them nearly my entire life. Today I have two Mini Australian Shepherds, Rosie and Chili, who keep me on my toes with their high energy, intelligence, and need for constant engagement. Because of them, I’m very comfortable caring for active breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent routines. Our days include long walks, outdoor adventures, puzzle toys, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime balanced with calm downtime. A fun piece of my background — my mom bred Mini Aussies for six years, and I actually helped deliver and care for many of the litters. From puppies to senior dogs, I understand behavior, body language, and how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because my lifestyle already revolves around my own dogs. Working from home helps a lot with this. I’m active, reliable, and organized, which allows me to provide dependable care whether that means drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routines, triggers, and comfort level before care begins. In a client’s home, I respect established routines to keep pets feeling secure and stress-free. I closely supervise play, use secure leashing practices, and maintain awareness of surroundings during walks. With experience raising high-energy working breeds, I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation to prevent anxiety or destructive behavior. I work in sales and constantly have my phone on me. I usually respond immediately unless I am in a meeting.
“My fiancé and I needed accommodations for our pup last minute as we were visiting Salem just for the day, and Hannah was extremely quick to reply and more than incredible with Jojo. She sent us updates and a photo and also took him on a walk. She’s so kind and dependable, and I definitely recommend leaving your pup with her.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“Super responsive and communicative! It was my first time boarding Koi with a Rover sitter and Linda was very reassuring and bonded very quickly with Koi. I'd board Koi with her again! The only downside is that Koi came home smelling a little bit of cigarette smoke, but Koi did stay with Linda for a whole week and I know Linda only smokes outdoors.”
“I can't recommend Luke highly enough. He quickly figured out Beacon's needs, and Beacon seemed comfortable and at home in no time. As a bonus, Luke is incredibly communicative; I received frequent updates, pictures, and stories about what he was up to. I walked away feeling that Beacon was extremely well cared for.”
“Guillermo is fantastic. He was attentive to our old pup and wonderfully responsive to us. He is kind and calm, and it was clear our dog felt so comfortable and content. Our dog had an upset stomach and Guillermo was gracious and amazing at taking the extra steps to give him canned food and medicine. He sent great updates and pictures, I wish I had found him sooner and look forward to having him care for our dog again.”
“Sam watched Wendy while we were out of town for a long trip and was so wonderful! She sent daily updates and photos of their walks and on how Wendy was doing - it was clear that Wendy was comfortable and in great hands. We would love to have Sam take care of her again!”
“Xiuping is an amazing and responsive dog sitter! She sent me lots of pictures and messages throughout the stay, showing how well my dog was being taken care of. This definitely set my mind at ease, knowing and seeing that my dog was having a great time with her family. Dog care instructions were followed very well and she was able to accommodate my last minute requests. I will absolutely be recommending Xiuping to my friends and will have her and her family watch my dog again!”
“Luciana and her family took excellent care of Tessie during her stay with them. Tessie is a very needy pup who likes to be close to people as much as possible and I could tell that she was able to have the kind of attention she needs during her stay with Luciana. She also loves, loves, loves walks and Luciana and her family took her on lots of walks to some of her favorite places. Luciana sent me daily photos and updates and I could always tell from her updates that she was really spending a lot of time getting to know Tessie and all of her quirks (she has a lot!). I am always a little stressed when I go on vacation and leave Tessie with a sitter but I felt very sure that Tessie was being well cared for and loved during her stay with Luciana which made my vacation much more enjoyable. I will absolutely book another stay with Luciana in the future.”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”

Julie is great! Scout was so happy at her place and they went on many adventures together. She’s very responsible and made sure we had all the information we needed before and during his stay. Drop off and pick up were easy and we’ll have scout stay with Julie from now on. 😊
Left Reggie while we were overseas and was 100% confident that he was in good hands and having a good time. He's can be kind of hesitant, but Belinda was in tune with him and very aware of how he and the other dogs interacted with one another, and she genuinely seems to really like having the pups around. Her house is a great setup, with a fenced in yard and lots of space indoors for multiple dogs to be there at the same time. Will absolutely leave Reg with her again!
Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Monali is amazing and took good care of my dog Maple. She walked my dog, brought my dog to park, prepared lick matt with banana and peanut butter, even bathed my dog(my dog is 50lbs a d have double coat, so lots of lots of work). She is absolutely 💯 I can tell my dog loves her so much
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.
For the past few years, I've been so lucky to be able to trust Carol with Copper when I have to travel. She has taken such good care of him every time, keeping me updated with lots of pictures and any concerns. While this is the last time I will be able to hire Carol to dogsit, as Copper and I are moving to California, we wish we could take her with us. It's going to be hard to find someone to do nearly as good of a job! You will be very missed!
My dog had her first sleep over with Rob and his family this weekend. It went well and Callie was well cared for and got a nice amount of exercise. Rob was very patient and accommodating of Callie’s very early morning routine. Communication was excellent. It’s always a relief to know your dog is in good hands!
