“Julie was so accommodating and sweet with our little Lola. Having a backyard to run around in was great! We’ll definitely be having Julie watch Lola anytime we are headed out of town!”

“Matt is responsive and punctual. He goes above and beyond and has updated his house and yard to be the best pup party zone ever! My dog and I are glad we found him.”

“Huge thanks to Caroline for making Brownie’s very first day care experience such a positive one! She even picked Brownie up and dropped him off at my location and was flexible when I had to change our time. Thank you Caroline!”

“Susan is amazing and made our anxiety-inducing first drop off at doggie day care way easier! Easy communication and planning and she and her dog made mine feel right at home. Loved how many updates and pictures she sent us too! Our dog seemed happy and tired afterwards.”

“Ruben was great with my Lily and it was a bonus that she had other dogs to play with. She’s a puppy so it’s important that she socializes as much as possible with other dogs and have a place to run around in. We will be booking again”

“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”

About: Having been part of an animal loving family, I learned how to care and love many animals throughout my life. Larger dogs have been especially important in my life and I adore their presence and individuality I am currently working towards finishing a personal trainer certification and nutrition specialist courses. The need for flexibility and a way to bring myself joy while still earning a bit of money is of upmost importance to me. I have a home that has many rooms which can be kept open or closed off depending on the specific needs of your pet(s). There is also a fenced in yard and sidewalks in a safe residential area with minimal traffic.
“Ariel was absolutely wonderful taking care of Georgie all day! Her own dogs were sweet and well behaved, and Georgie adored being a member of the pack, and playing with her daughter. My absolute highest recommendation!!”

“Jordan was amazing! Kept us up to date with how the pup was doing and sent great photos. Put us at ease while we were working, especially because it was her first time in daycare.”

“Jasmine was a total lifesaver with her ability to take my puppy in with less than a day’s notice. She took such excellent care of Runa, keeping her actively engaged in various activities as well as keeping me posted throughout the day. Runa is home now and sleeping like a rock. Couldn’t recommend Jasmine more.”

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember…until now! I’m a young professional in my own apartment for the first time and don’t feel quite ready for a pet of my own, but am sorely missing furry company! I work remotely so can work anywhere with Wi-Fi and have plenty of time for walk breaks throughout my work day…I typically take at least three and that’s just for my own sake! I aim to make your pet feel as much normalcy as possible in your absence! I’m happy to imitate whatever rules/routines etc you typically upkeep with them.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals, dogs, Guinea pigs and cats basically my whole life. I have trained all my puppies to be potty trained As a full-time pet care provider, I am available weekdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM to offer midday dog walks and drop-in visits for your pets. This schedule also accommodates any overnight pet care responsibilities I am attending to, ensuring your pets receive consistent care both day and night. What Overnight Stays Include: Overnight pet care typically begins in the evening between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM and ends the following morning around 8:00 AM–9:00 AM. During overnight stays, I provide: • Evening and morning walks • Fresh food and water • Medication administration (if needed) • Plenty of snuggles, attention, and companionship • Litter box or yard clean-up • Home security checks and plant watering (if requested) Your pet will enjoy a peaceful and safe night in the comfort of their home, with someone they know and trust close by. Establishing a consistent routine is essential for pets of all ages. Upon arrival, I'll attend to your pet's needs promptly, starting with a walk if crated, followed by plenty of reassuring praise. After the walk, I'll meticulously adhere to your feeding and care instructions.
The Diamond dog parents share their Rover experiences
I’m so grateful that I found them to take care of my old senior dog. He requires medications, a lot of love and attention and he gets exactly what he needs. I get a very happy pup after a long day at work. I’m looking forward to using Natalie for future bookings as I now trust her to take care of my fur baby.

Nelly loved Allison! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of my girl. Made my workday much smoother knowing she was in such good hands. Nelly was worn out and slept all the way home. Will definitely be recommending her and requesting her again ☺️
