“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“Leo was very comfortable at Mings. She provided regular updates, photos and videos proactively and was very responsive to any question or request. I'll definitely keep Leo with her again when the need arises.”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Jennifer and her family took great care of Yomi over the week and when we missed our flight home, she was able to take care of Yomi an extra day which we were very grateful for. Yomi looks like in great condition and we got daily updates and pics from her. Thanks so much and we will definitely be back again!”
“Max had a wonderful stay - had so much fun with his new doggie friends. We loved all the photos! Only thing is now we think Max just wants to go back! I thought he would be anxious, but no - he loved his time there and we felt relieved he was being well-cared for and having fun. I know we'll be back soon!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Peter took excellent care of my dog while I was away! I received great photos and could tell he was in wonderful hands. He returned home happy, healthy, and exhausted from all of the fun he was having. I would highly recommend him!”
“First time with Frank and Thao. They are very dog welcoming and make their home friendly and very inviting for the pls. They have an extra big back yard for lots of fun and dog running which I especially loved. Frank also walked my dog and his kids welcomed my dog into their bedroom at bedtime. Truely the entire family wants to participate.💕 I will definitely use them again!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Catherine was very responsive and sent regular updates everyday! She is also very good with special needs dogs and definitely very experienced. Definitely made me feel peace of mind while traveling!”
“Patrick watched our two year old Labradoodle at his home while we were out of town for 5 nights. He did a wonderful job of providing updates and pics of their outings to the dog park and play times. It was very hot during Auggie’s stay and he kept him comfortable and entertained inside when the temp was too high for outdoor activities. We felt very at ease during our trip knowing he was in good hands. Thank you Patrick!”
“Ulunma and her family were so wonderful with me - and Coco! Coco had a great week and I appreciate that they were so helpful giving Coco her ear medecine for a sudden infection - which healed quickly. Thank you Ulunma - I will be back in touch!!”
“We highly recommend Angela and Randall (and their sweet family)! They have taken wonderful care of our pup on several occasions. Great communication and we love the updates and pictures we receive during his stay. So comforting to know they treat our pup like one of their own!”
About: I have owned pets of diverse age and size, from litter age to senior dogs - their love is sublime, and their ask & needs endearing. I am a health care industry remote working professional who enjoys spending time with my senior pug, Ginger. My residence is on a 1 acre lot with a private valley, and controlled gated access. The house also has a hummingbird colony that calls it home for decades. I love to take Ginger for walks, and engage with other pet lovers, in a world where everyone is plugged into their devices. I recognize its a huge responsibility and an honor to take care of your pet. I also travel and the need to have a loving caring home for my pet has been a major area of concern. Pets are very sensitive to changes in their routine, and absence of their care provider, and need a caring home while they await your return. With that in mind, it's important to provide both comfort - food, rest, play time, bio breaks - and also reassurance in a moment that can be stressful. I recognize the need that disruptions can cause their bodily routines to change, and those moments need care and understanding. I am fine with that. I sincerely hope that when their stay with me is complete, and they are back in your arms, they look back with a wag, as they hop in the family car for the trip home.
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“JP is a fantastic sitter! He came by to meet my dog and learn about her before her stay. My dog, who's very shy and nervous, warmed up to him very quickly. JP sent us regular updates with photos of each day's adventure. He was very flexible and accommodating. I would definitely ask JP to watch my dog again, and I recommend him with the utmost enthusiasm!”
“Brayden and Noel were both amazing! I had to leave on a work trip and left my girl Skye with them for four days. When I picked her up, she was so happy and clearly very well taken care of.”

“Balthazar & I appreciate Elizabeth so much! Always my first call when I am going out of town. B is an old cat who can be EXTREMELY opinionated, and it is such a gamechanger to know I'm coming home to a blissed out buddy who's been hanging out with someone he loves instead of an angry orange beast. On a personal note - I managed to mess up my most recent reservation in a jetlag timezone confusion and she was extremely accommodating. Thank you, Betsy!!”
“Adaley was great with our cat and was very communicative. She even was willing to adjust dates on short notice after I booked the wrong ones on accident! Highly recommend Adaley and would not hesitate to rebook in the future!!!”
“Alexandra took wonderful care of my cat, Nala, over the holiday. She came by every day to give her medication, spend time with her, and make sure she was doing okay. Alexandra was reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely caring. I felt completely at ease knowing Nala was in her hands. I’d absolutely book with her again.”
“Fei is so kind, and she went above and beyond while caring for my cat. She is quick and thorough with communication, asks a lot of important questions, and makes sure to check in frequently. My cat absolutely loved her, and I could tell he was very well taken care of and loved while I was away. Also, my apartment and all of my cat's space/things were well-maintained and neat when I got back, which I appreciate so much. I would 100% ask Fei to watch my pet again in the future and would highly recommend booking her. Thank you, Fei!!! :)”
“Lara did a couple of drop ins for me yesterday, and did a great job. She shared pics of them on walks exploring the neighborhood and of her giving Frankie her treats. I am so grateful that I found her!!”
“I had a last-minute need for someone to check in on my dog due to a flight delay, and Hailey truly saved the day! She responded quickly, was flexible and reliable, and kept me updated throughout the entire process to ensure my dog was well cared for. I’m so grateful to Hailey for stepping in on such short notice and would highly recommend her for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Hailey!”
About: Hi! Im Caitlin! I have had dogs my whole life. I have lots of experience caring for my dogs as well as others that i take care of. I started dog walking in middle school, and have started to do more dogsitting! I have experience with many different breeds of dogs, big and small! I am currently a college student. Besides attending classes, i have lots of free time to take care of dogs and take them for walks! I always pay attention to the pets and make sure they are happy, but also being safe. While walking, i always keep them on leash and away from the cars driving by. While in the house, i do my best to keep an eye on them and give them lots of pets and get their energy out!
About: I adopted my four legged friend 7 years ago and have dedicated all my free time to training and adventuring with him. I adore animals and love being able to train and spend time with them so that they can enjoy the world as much as we do! I have been pet sitting for friends for nearly 10 years for both pups and kitty’s, I grew up with cats and pet sit my best friends when I need some kitty love. I am currently between scientists jobs so I am available pretty much any time we’re not on overlanding, camping or on backcountry adventures with our pup! I take a soft approach to training and care, as my boy was a rescue and very tentative with people and scared of nearly everything. I am happy to discuss care with owners and want to keep to your commands, care, and schedule because I know how important it is for our pets!
About: I’ve had cats as part of my life for many years, including my family cat, who was with us from the time I was one year old until I was 21. Growing up with a cat gave me a deep understanding of their unique personalities, body language, and individual needs. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and affectionate, while others prefer their space and routine. I always take the time to earn a cat’s trust, respect their boundaries, and provide calm, attentive care. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and affection or simply needs a reliable caregiver to maintain their routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Stephanie is my favorite Rover I've ever used, by a long shot! She's incredibly kind, detail-oriented, professional, and my critters love her :) I can't recommend her enough, she's seriously the best.”
About: I've taken care of close family friends dogs and I've worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals. You can trust me to treat them with so much love and give them their basic needs and anything else you'd like for me to do with them (: I currently work with dogs full time with a schedule and I will work around the schedule and when it comes to your fur baby I prioritize them first before working with other dogs. I do not have pets of my own but because I've taken care of others and worked at a pet resort for dogs and other animals I know what's needed to be done. I know dog behavior, feedings, medicine, how often they should go use the bathroom, etc.
About: My life has always been my dogs. I have been taking care of dogs and other pets my entire life and it's truly my life's purpose. I have experience with all breeds especially elderly chihuahuas and timid breeds. No breed is too difficult for me. I have experience with rescuing and fostering for the past 15 years as well as volunteering at shelters. I've been exposed to all different backgrounds, personalities, sizes and breeds. No matter what all dogs are good dogs it's just matter of giving them the attention they need and that's what I'm here to help you with! I'm an avid hiker and walker for my two boys and will customize play time and amount of exercise to your baby. I'll make sure you get pictures and updates and can promise I'll do anything to make sure you furry child has a doggone good time! I have a flexible schedule currently and will be attending school in the spring. At the moment I am available mostly between 11am-10 pm Monday-Saturday. I can do mornings on occasion or Sundays if necessary. Don't hesitate to ask and I will always see what I can do. My dogs get fed twice a day and get their preferred treats. They get daily walks and 2-3 hiking adventures a week. They are very different temperaments and energy so I am used to tailoring their exercise routine accordingly. I will care for your pets in a similar way or as needed and agreed upon during our communications. I am very in tune and attentive to what your pets needs are. I will respect the rules set forth by the client and most importantly make sure your pet is cared for and truly enjoyed their time. I will always do my best to leave your loved one in a better state than when I arrived making sure all their needs are met including any meds, feeding, treats, water and waste removal and exercise. If you have special requests please let me know.

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, with a dad who’s a farmer and a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) companions. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and while life took me down a different path, my love and passion for animals never changed. These days, I enjoy walking and carrying for dogs. There's something special about just being present with them. I’m also a proud mom to two animal-loving girls (ages 8 and 10), and together we dream of having a house full of animals... if only we had the space! I am self employed so I can set my own hours. I love to be outside. I walk my own dog everyday. Happy to take animals on walks, play with my own dog or even go on a hike. I live on ½ an acre with lots of grass and a fenced in backyard. We live right near the Iron Horse Trail so walks are encouraged. =)

“Houda & Fawzi and their lovely family were fantastic with Zoe (3yo pit bull). Their children are amazing with the dogs and there’s so much of their property to roam for Zoe. Zoe was exhausted, well fed and much loved when she came home. Thanks!”
About: Hello! My name is Allie. I’m a lifelong dog lover, owner, and trainer. I come from Washington state where I was raised with dogs of all kinds. For the last few years, I professionally trained and also trained law-enforcement canines. I actively compete with my dog in a sport called Schutzhund. I am extremely confident with all kinds of dogs- from tiny ones, to the giant breeds! If you have a sport dog that you need handled by an experienced working dog handler, I can absolutely help you out. I am an extremely competent and safe handler and look forward to helping you out with your pups! Right now, I am a stay at home dog mom who is always training and working my dog. I have a highly flexible schedule and would love to help you out! I have an awesome yard that your dogs are welcomed to play in on a long line. I also have a very sweet intact male dog who is a friend to all, if your dog likes others! I have crates available if your dog needs one. I exercise and train my dog daily, so your dog’s needs can easily be tended to. I have plenty of experience with working dogs, so I understand the implications of handling them (detection, apprehension, sport). Your pup will be extremely safe and well cared for!
About: I have had pets since I was a child, including cats and dogs. My family and I have had our current cat and prior cats from kittens, and our Golden Retriever Arnold since he was a puppy. I have the option of working at home full-time, and spending time cuddling your fur baby or taking him or her for walks and/or runs. I have a fenced yard and a friendly golden to keep your dog entertained and show him/her the ropes. I am happy to have a lap dog, or a more active dog who likes to fetch, swim, walk, or run.
“JP did an amazing job with my husky on a last-minute request, he has a beautiful and safe house and large yard. He sent lots of photos so I could see how my boy was doing and I saw all of the activity he was getting with play time and walks. Their dog Arnold is clearly very friendly and was great company. Will rebook with confidence any time”
“Matthew was absolutely amazing with my Bear. I was initially a little nervous to hear how the first walk went given my dog’s fondness of squirrels. Matthew’s confidence, care and warmth toward Bear made him feel at home, like they have known each other forever. I highly recommend and plan on consistently booking. Thank you Matt!!”
“Highly recommend Dylan! He’s local, super reliable, and great with my puppy, Olivia. He has two small dogs that Olivia absolutely loved playing with, which made her experience even better. It’s great to find a sitter where your pet gets both personal attention and social time.”

“Sahaila gave our 4 month old puppy the absolute best day ever. Sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and totally went above and beyond my expectations when caring for her. Highly recommend.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, especially those who need patience, structure, and understanding. I have a strong background in caring for both young, high-energy dogs and senior pets who require a gentler, more attentive approach. Over the years, I’ve adopted and cared for shelter dogs, including one of my most meaningful experiences: transforming my 3-year-old German Shepherd who came from an abusive and neglected background. She was fearful, submissive, and untrained when I first brought her home. Through consistent training, positive reinforcement, and a calm, stable environment, she gradually became a confident, obedient, affectionate, and deeply trusting companion. She is now 15 years old and remains a living example of the patience and care I bring to every animal I work with. This experience has taught me how to read animal behavior, build trust with nervous or reactive dogs, and adapt care to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a young dog learn structure and good habits or providing comfort and routine for senior dogs, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and balanced environment where every pet feels secure and understood. I pick up shifts bartending but I cant adjust my schedule around sitting others dogs. I will be free when needed so no worries there. I have a nice size balcony but that the dogs can hangout on if they would like but i also take my girl out often.
“Brayden and Noel took great care of my dog. She can be shy and anxious with new people, and they were very skillful and patient with her. Their communication is great too. I always get a prompt response from them. I highly recommend them.”
“Jing was a lifesaver, available to watch our three year old English Cocker while we visited our grandchildren. She was waiting for us when we pulled up to her home and seamlessly watched him til we returned about 3 hours later. She sent fun pictures while taking care of him and Murphy seemed very happy when we picked him up. I definitely recommend Jing and will book her again!”
About: I had a brother who loved to bring animals home which I had to take care of. Now I have two daughters who love to take care of dogs , cats and other animals. I’m working part time at home so I have more time to play with your pets when I’m on break. I love to play with and to care for animals I have a home with a fence so they can pace around my yard freely without escaping. I don’t have many harsh rules for animals in my house so they can move anywhere they want any time .
“Best I can tell, Lucy has had a great time staying with Antoine. She was a bit nervous at first but now seems eager to go. Thanks for taking good care of her, Antoine. We will definitely be back as the need arises.”
“I will definitely be going back! Bandit LOVED being with them. I knew they’d be good sitters when they walked out and the kids and Shawna had researched my dogs breed (Frisian Stabij) that was an immediate sigh of relief and it only went up from there. They were communicative, sent pictures, and so trustworthy. Would recommend !!”
“My dogs had a great day with Brittany! She sent a ton of updates and I didn’t have to worry about them while I was at work! She made our shy rescue shepherd mix feel at home and kept our rambunctious corgi entertained! Thank you Brittany!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs including my own senior Shih Tzu for 14 years. I currently offer daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight boarding, and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention and calm presence they need while their owners are away. I also make sure pets stay on their usual schedule as much as possible so they feel safe and settled. Whether it’s a quick visit during the day, a walk to get energy out, or staying overnight, I focus on being reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. About my schedule: Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am available full-time. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, consistent and attentive care while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. We have a large fenced balcony at first floor. Also a big area in our community with natural grass perfect for play and potty breaks.

“Courtney is fantastic! She walks Summer during the week for me, and I couldn't be happier. She is reliable, communicative, and Summer absolutely loves her. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog took an immediate liking to Lara. It was the first time in 12 years we left him overnight. Lara kept us updated with pictures and comments. Made us feel at ease so we could enjoy our mini vacation. Got back to a happy dog and all is well.”

I can stay overnight or check in throughout the day, depending on their needs. I am very diligent when caring for animals. I like to always have my eye on them and have an understanding of what they need, whether that is rest, love, or food.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages for over 16 years. I have extensive experience with puppies and large-breed dogs in particular, and over the years I’ve owned and cared for three German Shepherds, a Great Pyrenees, and a cat. I’ve also volunteered with ARF, including experience in a clinical setting. I’m currently available for dog walks and drop-in visits. Whether your pet needs a good walk, some playtime and attention, feeding, or a check-in while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets. My goal is to make sure they’re safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently pursuing my teaching credential, which gives me a flexible and open schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits and can often accommodate different times of day, including recurring visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, leashing, crating, or other needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including large breeds and puppies, and I’ll always treat your home with care and respect.
About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs and truly love them like my own babies. I even bottle-fed newborn puppies when their mom couldn’t, and spending time with dogs always brings me joy they mean so much to me! Pet care fits into my weekly routine as a priority—I make sure to set aside dedicated time to walk, feed, and give attention to the pets, making their well-being and happiness a regular part of my day. I would care for someone else’s dog by making sure they feel safe and comfortable, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I’d give them lots of attention and affection, watch for any signs they need, and keep their environment clean and calm.
About: I always had dogs when I grew up - usually small silkie terrier, cavalier king charles and maltese. I tend to like bigger dogs now - huskies, bulldogs, Doberman, golden retriever, doodles, poodles, chowchow. I work from home a few days a week and am pretty energic to long morning walks, lunch and long evening walks or parks are great. We only have one person or families pet in the house at a time. Unless you have two dogs. Happy to understand your dog's usual routine first

“Desiree did a meet and greet with my dogs the day w and she was so nice and bubbly. My dogs took to her right away. She listened to all my quirky instructions like they were normal! On the morning of the walk she arrived on time and kept me informed with pictures and details of the walk. I feel happy to have found her and on short notice too!”
About: I've been a sitter on this platform for several years. Serving the California Bay Area, and internationally (Thailand and Japan so far!) I've had mostly small to medium dogs and cats for years as family pets, also have experience with chickens and rodents (my kids had pet rats for years). I do not currently have pets, as am doing the van life thing and don't feel it would be right to have my own pet at this time, however I truly miss having pets, prompting me to sign up for pet sitting! I'm currently retired-van living full time in the East Bay CA area, so right now just available for house/pet sitting & dog walking at your home. Responsible, mature care giver for your pet in your home, following all rules and instructions left by the pet owner. Please let me know of your pets special needs before booking.

“I booked Houda and her family for my wedding weekend. I have 2 cats and they did so good with them! I loved that they were completely separate from any other animals and I didn’t have to worry about them. They took care of them as they were their own. 10/10 sweetest family!”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“Jennifer and her family took great care of Yomi over the week and when we missed our flight home, she was able to take care of Yomi an extra day which we were very grateful for. Yomi looks like in great condition and we got daily updates and pics from her. Thanks so much and we will definitely be back again!”
“5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“First time with Frank and Thao. They are very dog welcoming and make their home friendly and very inviting for the pls. They have an extra big back yard for lots of fun and dog running which I especially loved. Frank also walked my dog and his kids welcomed my dog into their bedroom at bedtime. Truely the entire family wants to participate.💕 I will definitely use them again!”
“Ying is a wonderful dog sitter. She took care of our 75lbs Shepard mix and sent us fun photos and generally cared about his well being. We hope she’s available the next time we need a sitter!”
“Catherine was very responsive and sent regular updates everyday! She is also very good with special needs dogs and definitely very experienced. Definitely made me feel peace of mind while traveling!”
“Ulunma and her family were so wonderful with me - and Coco! Coco had a great week and I appreciate that they were so helpful giving Coco her ear medecine for a sudden infection - which healed quickly. Thank you Ulunma - I will be back in touch!!”
“We highly recommend Angela and Randall (and their sweet family)! They have taken wonderful care of our pup on several occasions. Great communication and we love the updates and pictures we receive during his stay. So comforting to know they treat our pup like one of their own!”
About: We have spent years loving our own dogs, and honestly, we treat them better than we treat humans. :-) When your pup stays with us, they aren’t just being watched, they are joining a household, dedicated entirely to belly, rubs, naps, and maximum comfort. Since we have two little friendly dogs and a cat of our own, your pet will have a built-in social club and will never feel lonely. Since I already work out of the house and care for my own pets all day, adding your dog to the mix will fit seamlessly into our daily routine. I am constantly here to open doors, handout treats, and provide supervision making your dogs care, a natural extension of my everyday life. Our yard is completely fenced in with tons of room for your pup to burn off energy, sniff around and safely enjoy themselves. It’s a built-in dog park.
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“JP is a fantastic sitter! He came by to meet my dog and learn about her before her stay. My dog, who's very shy and nervous, warmed up to him very quickly. JP sent us regular updates with photos of each day's adventure. He was very flexible and accommodating. I would definitely ask JP to watch my dog again, and I recommend him with the utmost enthusiasm!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, with a dad who’s a farmer and a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) companions. From a young age, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, and while life took me down a different path, my love and passion for animals never changed. These days, I enjoy walking and carrying for dogs. There's something special about just being present with them. I’m also a proud mom to two animal-loving girls (ages 8 and 10), and together we dream of having a house full of animals... if only we had the space! I am self employed so I can set my own hours. I love to be outside. I walk my own dog everyday. Happy to take animals on walks, play with my own dog or even go on a hike. I live on ½ an acre with lots of grass and a fenced in backyard. We live right near the Iron Horse Trail so walks are encouraged. =)
“Peter and Sarah were absolutely incredible with our 9 month old Scout! He stayed with them for 10 days while our house went on the market and we had showings. They sent pictures and video updates and were always keeping me in the loop on how he was getting along with their other dogs! This was like going to the dog park for 10 days for our boy and he loved it! I would book them again in a heartbeat if we weren't moving out of the area!”
“Megan did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Rocky. She was a great communicator throughout the stay, providing updates and making me feel comfortable that he was in good hands. Most importantly, Rocky seemed to genuinely enjoy his time with her, which says a lot. I would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.”
“Breaux stayed with Dayan and her wonderful family for 10 days! It was hard for us but we knew that Breaux was in great hands. We received many updates (photos and videos) we could tell he was enjoying himself and being so loved. Thank you Dayan and family for all the love you have given Breaux ❤️”
“My senior Raven of 15 years came home so happy and well taken care of. She probably got more attention with Virginie and Max and the girls than I would have given her at home. So I am pleased and should Raven need another vacation away from home, I will not hesitate to call this lovely family again.”
“It’s the second time we’ve used Michael, and he’s been terrific. He’s super responsive and provides lots of updates. Plus, the dogs always come back happy. Thanks for everything Michael. Ivy and Jake are looking forward to coming back!”
“This is our second time booking Shawna for dog boarding. She has been so responsive, flexible, and an excellent caretaker for our dog. We are very pleased to have found a trustworthy caretaker and welcoming home for our darling pup while we are away. He gets plenty of walks, attention and appropriate care. Thank you Shawna, Vinnie will be back for sure!”
