“Diane did an absolutely perfect job taking care of our Brittany cokie. Super sweet and caring and her little dog was a great companion to ours. They had a fantastic time together, and she loved every minute of it. We went back the next day, and our dog was wagging her tail and excited to go in. Thank you so much Diane for your great work! Michael.”

About: 🐾 Hi- I'm Stefany 🐾 A little bit about myself. I grew up with dogs my entire life. (Rescues) I've also helped find placement for dogs. I've cared for all sorts of breeds, temperaments, and administered medication through syringes, supplements, and eye drops, and variation of applicators. Over the course of my business I've dealt with a variety of breeds that have needed alot of TLC - dogs with seizures, diabetes, bowel issues, loss of an eye, severe anxiety disorder, dogs that needed alot of nurture and luv. Caring for animals is my passion. I got into this line of work not only because I have a luv for animals, but because my mother is a Travel Agent. One day, her clients' sitter bailed on them right before departing on a back to back cruise for 21 days, and they had no one to watch their dog. Almost canceling their entire trip. When people go on vacation, I stay in their home, I look after everything. It's unique. It's Very one on one and special. I don't take any other job. I've never canceled on a client due to being sick or anything. I take care of your home as well as look after your pup. I'm in my 40's. Very responsible, have a lot of references and all of my clients are repeats I also watch Westminister Championship dogs, Purebred cats,and Exotic animals. I have attended to dogs with special needs and was able to catch a new onset seizure by paying attention to signs and detail- and quickly got the dog immediate and proper care. The sooner you reach out and tell me about your pet's needs, and how long you need me for, the sooner I can fit you into my heavily booked calander. I'd luv nothing more than to make your life easier, while you're away! I Want nothing more than for you to have a "Paw-tastic" experience! :) Side note: Anyone who has a bigger dog, I'm happy to sit,if it's not agressive with a fenced in yard! This is all I do. Animals are my livelihood. Once I'm booked I'm 100% commited to my client needs. You never have to worry about my reliability I care for furbabies in the comfort of their own home when my clients go away on vacation. I not only look after your fury animals- I look after your home abd give reasurance everything is perfect so you're abke to enjoy with a peace of mind
“Jessica has been a great help watching my Liam. She’s attentive to my concerns and provides great updates. Liam always comes home happy and sometimes I suspect he doesn’t want to come home. 😂”

“Catherine is such a sweetheart - she went above and beyond to assure me she would care for my pup as if she was one of their own. It’s always pretty stressful to leave my pup with a brand new sitter for the first time, and I’m grateful that Catherine made this so easy and welcomed Carli into their home.”

“Shane was great! His responses were quick and he even provided photographs periodically, which I really appreciated as this was the first time leaving my puppy with somebody for an entire day. I would definitely recommend him!”

“Jeff was very professional and ready to help with anything. As dog parents we were very anxious but Jeff made us feel comfortable with leaving our furry family member with him. He was constantly updating us and sending pictures as well.”

“Laura was so great with our pup! He’s very nervous around new people but she was really patient with him and provided us plenty of updates so we knew he was doing well. Would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter in the future!”

About: To us dogs are our friends and family! Their “voice” matters and when they communicate we listen. As previous dog owners, we find joy in teaching dogs silly and playful tricks. I work from home and extremely flexible throughout the day. There is always at least 1 adult in the house every day. The only child in the home is 10 yrs old and she’s around after school, weekends and during school breaks. I live in a large house where we allow dogs to roam comfortably and to settle at their own pace and in their desired space. We have a have a fenced backyard as well as a pet friendly neighborhood with parks and lots of space to walk and play with your dogs! I have a 10yr daughter who is ecstatic to be a dog friend and playmate. We value, listen and respect dogs and their many needs.
“Brittany was amazing to my dog. She sent me videos of my dog having an amazing time playing with other dogs. I would highly recommend her and would feel comfortable leaving my dog with her anytime. She was very nice and even recommended a restaurant in her area. Thanks Brittany!”

“We needed to go out of town and was unable to find a responsible, reliable person in our immediate area.. Kelly & family - what an honor to have had them look after our puppy. I found her thru Rover.com in a town in another state - on the way to where I was going. When we picked up our puppy, she couldn't stop telling us all about her day with such wonderful humans.:) Tipped on the spot - rather than waiting. We highly highlly highlly recommend Kelly. Bravo!!!!”

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been watching them for several decades. I truly love them whole heartedly and enjoy spending time with them. I also train them while watching them and have been complemented on noticeable behavior improvement along with some very cute tricks ;) I'm working part time from home so my schedule is very open and flexible. As long as I have a few days notice and I'm not already booked with a full house of pups I'll be good. I have a large home with a fenced in yard. I also have a very friendly one year old Terrier mix that loves to play!
“Lorenzo is a top notch caregiver for your furry kid. He watched Duke 3 days in a row while I worked. Everyday when I picked Duke up he was happy and tired from all the fun he had. If your looking for quality care, I highly recommend Lorenzo!”

“Eddy was attentive and caring with our puppy chase. He updated me throughout the day with pictures as well which I appreciated. He answered any of my questions and my our pup looked like he had a blast under his care. I would hire eddy again and recommend him. Thank you eddy !”

About: I’ve cared for other peoples pets since I was a kid. Almost like a “dog aunt,” friends and family always trusted me to walk and watch their furry family members. I finally got my own fur baby at 18. He was 10 weeks when he came home and I trained and cared for my Rottweiler for many years. Now that I’m back to dog auntie status, I would love to care for your pet as well! I work from home, so I am able to give your dog all day companionship. My schedule is flexible to play, take walks, and potty breaks as needed. I have a semi- fenced backyard living on a dead-end street. There is very little traffic in and out of the house besides adult family members. I have a ring camera and a very walkable, pet-friendly neighborhood. Option to crate your pet or not depending on parent/pet comfort level.
About: If your furry Doodle / Poodle friend is social, loves company, playing and time outside - this is the family for you! Due to allergies - I'm only available for poodles and doodles. I board small to mid size poodles and doodles. They'll join our family for daily walks to and from school, outings at Rockefeller State Park, cuddles on the couch, fetch in our half-acre backyard, hikes and more. You'll receive updates and photos of our adventures while you're away and a custom handmade report card of their stay! I have an outdoor-oriented family with a love for pets. The day starts at 6:00 am with the first outing, walking the dogs to school, playing with them in the yard and cuddling with them on the couch in the evening. I follow the prescribed schedule, and owner's requests. Your dog becomes part of our family, with plenty of love and attention given while you're away. You'll receive regular updates and photos of their adventures and outings, so you can be sure they're in good hands while you're away.
