“Cassandra and Jason were great! Our pup has a checkered past and can be very anxious. However, she was able to settle quickly in their home! They kept us updated each and every day. Our pup had a great stay with them!”

“So grateful to have found Sarah. She loves our little girl like her own. What a perfect example of someone who is meant to take care of pups! ❤️❤️”

“Joel is so great! He was very communicative and helpful in easing my anxieties on leaving my fur baby with a sitter. I had some concerns since she’s a bit of a handful at times but he handled her with ease and did a wonderful job at it. We also had some scheduling issues but he worked with us and was extremely helpful. He provided many photos and kept me updated on how she was doing. 10/10 I will be booking with Joel again! 😄”

“Finley LOVED his stay with Aimee! Finley is usually a nervous pup and I could tell he really trusted and felt relaxed with Aimee. She’s so caring, sends many updates, and loves buying special treats for the dogs. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Finley is looking forward for his next stay with Aimee 🥰.”

“She’s great. First time boarding my dog. I was pretty apprehensive because he’s a large akita who’s not always great with strangers. But he loved her. And I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Will definitely book again if I need to board him.”

“Wilson and Jessica and their pups were amazing. Skeeter was sad to leave! Also sent lots of pics and videos of the pups playing. Great experience highly recommend!”

“Amanda and Phil are great! Our dogs love going to their house and will walk themselves right in. They take time to understand our dogs’ routines and make sure they get lots of play. They’re great at sending lots of pics and videos along the way.”

“Renada is a great caretaker. My experience has always been amazing and she really loves dogs. She has given her all to take amazing care of my dog and I could not be happier with her services.”

“Erika was so good! She sent pictures and videos every day, had a safe and secure way to introduce my dogs to other dogs in her care, and was extremely communicative. I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and were happy in her care.”

“Yazmin took great care of my puppy while I was away. This was my first time using a dog sitter, so I was a little nervous, but she made the entire experience easy and stress-free. She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how much fun he was having. She also shared observations, suggestions, and advice about his behavior and personality that I really appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and took the time to get to know him. I had a great experience and would absolutely trust her to watch my dog again.”

“Stacy was so sweet with our dog. She sent lots of pictures during our trip and made sure to do everything we do with him so he felt as normal as possible. Would definitely book her again!”

“Henry had a blast! He truly enjoyed the attention, time and energy with Mary. I am so thankful for her helping me out last minute and just being so amazing with Henry! I will definitely be utilizing Mary again. Henry seemed to really have enjoyed himself.”

“Jen is the best! She takes such good care of our little senior dog. She knows so much about dogs and is great about personalizing their needs that make them happy. Thanks again, Jen!”

“Amor was amazing! This was Mango’s (our dog) first time ever staying with a sitter, and Amor did a wonderful job making Mango feel happy, loved and comfortable. She sent frequent updates and pics which we loved! Mango is very excited to hangout with Amor and Squid again🥭🦑”

“Stephanie is absolutely amazing! My pumpkin feels so safe & at home with her & the thought of him being in such a loving environment that ensures he’s comfortable always allows me to travel stress free knowing he’s happy and well taken care of with her :)”

“Jin and his family were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Matilda. From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in caring and attentive hands. They treated her like part of their own family, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made sure she felt comfortable and loved throughout her stay. Matilda came home happy and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found Jin and his family, and we would gladly book with them again. Highly recommend!”

About: My husband and I have experience caring for a dog through the full arc of their life - from puppyhood to mature independence to the soft decline of old age. If you have a senior pet who has personality quirks, a complicated routine, and a robust set of meds - we get it! We lost our guy at the advanced age of 17 in June 2025, and the house has felt too empty since then, so we're ready to channel that care into your pets. Our dog preferred to be an only child, and it was sometimes hard to find a sitter who offered a private stay. That's why we'll only take dogs from the same house for our stays - we're not trying to maximize our profits, we just want some happy dogs in our home again! I work from home and so does my husband, so we are reliably available to give as much or as little attention as they need. We can flex to the walking and feeding schedule that your pup is used to, so they don't come back home to you asking for dinner early! We have a large (roughly 2000 square feet) fenced yard. We've proactively blocked-up any holes under the fence large enough to squirm through, and we also have a shaded concrete patio. There's no doggy door, so they'll have to rely on their human servant (me!) to let them in and out! The space is large and open enough for a rambunctious dog to get their laps in, and free of any plants dangerous to pets. Pets are not welcome on beds or sofas, but that's just about the only boundary. If they prefer to sleep in the bedroom with us there is plenty of space for a dog bed; if they like to monitor the house from outside the bedroom we can set them up elsewhere. Senior dogs who struggle on wooden floors may not be a good fit - we've removed most of the runners that we had for our guy who struggled with this. There are no stairs inside the house, and only one shallow step from the house out to the backyard - if the one step is an issue, we can use a different door that is flush with the patio.
“Eddie & his wife were absolutely AMAZING! They sent tons of photos & updates, took Brewski for a walk & I know he was well taken care of as if he were their own! My dog had such a blast with Eddie’s family (including their dogs)! HIGHLY recommend & will definitely use again in the future!”

“Five stars isn’t enough for this experience! This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving my dog, Goose, but that feeling went away almost immediately. Trevor’s level of communication was incredible. I got frequent, detailed updates that made me feel completely at ease the entire weekend. Trevor even created a Google Drive album so I could see photos of Goose the whole time, which was such a thoughtful touch and meant so much to me. It really felt like I never missed a moment. Most importantly, Goose clearly loves Trevor! You can tell when your dog feels safe and happy, and that peace of mind is everything. I will absolutely book with Trevor again without hesitation and genuinely couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you for giving my boy such a great weekend!”

Stephanie was so good with our dog Lucky. It was her first time without us for a week and Stephanie worked so hard at gaining Lucky’s trust and sent us updates to help us feel at ease. We were able to fully relax and enjoy vacation knowing that Lucky was in good hands. Thank you Stephanie ❤️

Yujie took absolutely wonderful care of our three-year-old German Shepherd. Best of all, he has a super friendly dog who could keep mine company, which was especially helpful because my dog is anxious around people but loves playing with other dogs! He provided daily updates and was very responsive. I could tell my dog was very happy and even missed him when I picked her up. I will definitely rebook with him when I travel again. Thanks so much, Yujie!

We're so happy to have found Alex for our dachshund-mix Chewie! Alex was wonderful at communicating with updates and also lives in an adorable neighborhood that is perfect for dog walks. We'll definitely be booking again for future stays. Chewie came home relaxed, like he had also been on a vacation. Many thanks to you, Auntie Alex! :)

I’ve used Juan many times and he and his dog Annie are the best! They’re so patient and truly care about my pup. I know Stogy is always I well taken care of with Juan and he comes back happy and fulfilled every time! Being able to trust Juan to take care of Stogy like he’s his own really helps my peace of mind when I am out of town. He’s with the best!

JoJo was the most amazing sitter for our 2 dogs!! Her communication was excellent and her care was top notch!!! We left our Peaches and Maggie with her for a full 7 days and last night they were actually pouting that they were back home. they've never done that before so we know they had the times of their lives!! 1000 STARS wouldn't be enough
