“Nikki was amazing! I needed first time over night care for my almost 1 year old pup. Nikki made sure everything would work out and had us over for a meet and greet the day before to meet the other pups! Everything went smoothly and it is safe to say that hazel was well taken care of. We even got picture updates! I will definitely use Nikki again!”
“Natasha & Jonathan took great care of our pup. He felt right at home with them. They asked us all the right questions and kept us updated throughout the visit.”
“Gianna was amazing! She was very responsive and sent me pics of my fur baby consistently. I felt very comfortable leaving Shiloh with her for a couple of hours and looking forward to using her next.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Katherine helped me through it! She sent updates and photos at the right cadence while I was away. We both agreed that a space with a yard would be a better fit for my husky mix if I should use Rover again, as he needs a lot of more intense activity. One small note is that my dog was barking at her cat during the stay, and there didn't really seem to be a way to keep them separated. He does well with my cat, but I guess not necessarily new cats! So just something to keep in mind that if your dog really does need to be separated from a cat, it's not the right space.”
“David and his family were fantastic hosts to our pup - we cannot recommend them highly enough! They were responsive during the booking process and continued with consistent communication throughout Vega's stay. The level of care and attention being paid to Vega was immediately obvious due to the updates and observations we received each night. Our dog has a bit of anxiety, especially during longer stays away, and David was on-point about noticing changes in her behavior and asking questions when necessary. Barring a scheduling conflict there's no other family we'd even consider having Vega stay with.”
“Eileen was very nice and took good care of our baby, Phoenix. She was responsive, accommodating, and very sweet. Phoenix had so much fun during his stay. Will definitely book her again in the future! :)”
“Zwany and Leandro took absolutely fantastic care of our two dogs Cooper and Maddie! They provided us with daily updates and lots of great photos to show how great the two pups were doing. We also received really nice report cards with a summary of their stay and wonderful Polaroid photos of each pup which are now on our fridge. We will for sure be booking with them for future pet sitting!”
“Ariane and her family did a wonderful job at watching my dog, Livie, over the winter holiday! They played fetch with Livie both outside in their large fenced in yard as well as inside with their two sweet rescue dogs. I got the sense that my dog felt very much at home in their care and they were able to consistently administer her two medications as well. When I picked Livie up she was happy and kept running back to Ariane to say goodbye at the end of her trip to give kisses! We will definitely be back for more stays at this loving home. Thank you, Ari!”
“Our pups had a great stay with Mike and his family! Communication was excellent, we received regular updates & photos, and Mike was sure to reach out if anything came up. We would not hesitate to have our girls stay with wonderful Mike again and are grateful for his care!”
“Renee and her son were amazing with my dog. They were super sweet and always sent lots of messages and photos. Renee was gentle in telling me about my baby’s day-to-day activities, how he was feeling, and how he was sleeping. I think she took better care of him than any other Rover I’ve had over the years! Next time I’m traveling, my baby will definitely be with her.”
About: Loving pet sitter! I provide reliable care, walks, and playtime, ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I have a cat and a pug, both of whom are very friendly. My cat spends most days sleeping in my closet, and my pug is a very lovable dog. I'm currently working and studying from home. I am available for day care on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends. I am also available every day for boarding, but on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, I need you to pick up your pet by 5:00 am at the latest. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with constant supervision. I ensure clean spaces, safe toys, and a cozy resting area. I follow all care instructions meticulously, maintaining their pet's routine for comfort and security. I can only take care of your dog at my place.
“Elliot and his wife were wonderful sitters for our dog! They were attentive to detail, have a clear love for animals, and were flexible and great with communication. Our dog had a blast staying with them, they went on a lot of outdoor adventures. We got updates twice a day with pictures; we definitely felt that our pup was safe, happy, and having a great time. Would highly recommend them!”
“Patricia was fabulous! She took incredible care of our pup like she was one of her own! When watching her during the heatwave Patricia made sure there was lots of fun things for her to do to cool off. She got to go swimming in the pool and played around in the splash pad. Patricia was great at keeping us updated and sent lots of photos and videos! Our pup can’t wait to go back!”
“Paul and Megan were excellent hosts for Kenobi. From the meet and greet I could tell Kenobi felt comfortable in their presence. They were very responsive and great at communication. The frequency of updates and pictures was just right and we came back to a healthy, happy dog. Would absolutely recommend. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
“My dog couldn’t wait to go back to Mike’s. He’s a big sweet energetic dog who loves to play. We totally trust Mike (and his amazing dog) to keep our dog happy and safe. We’ve only been home for about a day but he’s still sleeping off all the fun he had!”
“Freddi and her boyfriend are such caring dog sitters. It’s obvious that they loves the dogs a lot, often taking them on long walks to tire them out and having them play. They are very attentive and patient, often updating me about the dogs and even offering suggestions on changing their food intake after doing some research. Our dogs were very happy and healthy when we went to pick them up, and even kind of sad to leave. It’s clear that they had a great time at Freddi’s by their smiles and tail wags. I would highly recommend this family if you’re going away for vacation—they are patient, kind, and very caring! 10/10 experience.”

Valeri and her children made Bentley’s first boarding experience a wonderful one. Bentley was loved by them and he got to hang out with their friendly dog Lexi. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with how happy Bentley was playing and doing zoomies with Valeri’s son. I know Bentley missed them when he got home. We will definitely go to Valeri again.
Gienna always takes excellent care of our Mina. She is thoughtful, caring, and knowledgeable. Really just an overall great person to work with! Plus her dog Maggie is a great companion. I love that she has an enclosed backyard for Mina to play in too. We will certainly be booking with her again!
Kristin and Ben obviously know dogs and figured out all of Ziggy's likes and dislikes right away. We got great communication with pics and videos while we were away for a week and our pup seemed completely calm and happy when we retrieved him. We will definitely be booking with Kristin and Ben again.
Beth is so flexible and accommodating! We had to make a last minute extension to our booking, and Beth got back to us so quickly and kindly. We picked up a very tired and happy puppy, who I know loved all the fetch she got to play in their fenced in yard throughout the stay!
Dawn was an excellent dog sitter! I found myself in a pinch with finding someone and she was available and communicated quickly and effectively so the plan was able to come together quickly! She took notes at our meet and greet and wanted as much info as possible to make my dog’s stay as smooth as possible! Poptart was a little hesitant at drop off but warmed up immediately to Dawn, and her warm, welcoming personality (and her bin of dog toys!). She sent tons of updates and pictures and had no issues whatsoever. Would definitely recommend Dawn to any pet parent and will book with her again!
Patricia was fabulous! She took incredible care of our pup like she was one of her own! When watching her during the heatwave Patricia made sure there was lots of fun things for her to do to cool off. She got to go swimming in the pool and played around in the splash pad. Patricia was great at keeping us updated and sent lots of photos and videos! Our pup can’t wait to go back!
Jeffrey clearly knew what he was doing. When I took Maggie for a meet and greet she automatically felt comfortable with him. He demonstrates a combination of practical skills and understanding. He understands animal needs and has patience is knowledgeable about animal behavior and wellbeing. He knows how to follow a daily routine that includes feeding, walking, playing and providing clean living spaces. He provides a safe and cozy shelter and made my dog feel safe and content. I will definitely spread the word to others regarding Jeffrey's talent as an animal caregiver. I will continue to use Jeffrey in the future whenever we need him and hope he will be available.
