“Our dog had a great time with Rachel. She was sending us loads of pictures every day and we felt at ease being away. I will recommend her if you need help with your pet.”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I have developed a strong passion for providing safe, loving, and reliable care for animals of all sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and caring for pets with different energy levels and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I prioritize maintaining their normal routines to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I focus on creating a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and owners. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and communicative, providing regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident their pets are in caring hands. My goal is always to treat every pet like family and ensure they feel loved, safe, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I am home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship rather than pets being left alone for long periods. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays while ensuring pets receive supervision, care, and interaction throughout the day. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal schedule to help them feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while their owners are away. I focus on providing pets with a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making them feel secure, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. In my home, pets receive consistent supervision since I work from home, allowing for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I create a calm and clean space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the household environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed), litter box or yard maintenance, and enrichment activities. I also provide companionship to reduce stress and separation anxiety while keeping the home tidy and secure. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and in trusted hands.

“This was my pup's third stay with Rocky. She was with Rocky for 10 days and had a wonderful time! The daily pictures makes leaving her a lot easier and knowing she is in great hands. She has the run of the house and loves running the yard. If you are looking for a loving and caring person to care for your pup while you're away, Rocky is your guy!”
“Queenie & Yu-Chieh took such a great care of Perry, they did extraordinary, I could see Perry very very happy from the pictures they sent us, they always kept me posted, sending videos and pictures. I would take Perry again with them, we’re so thankful.”

“My two dogs love staying with Pissamas! It puts me at ease knowing how well they’re being taken care of by Pissamas and her family every time we’re away.”


“Michael and Mindy took such great care of Snooki! He was healthy and happy when we picked him up, and they kept in great communication with photos and updates. Snooki bonded with them which was a great comfort to us. We would be happy to have them sit Snooki again in the future and definitely recommend them.”

“Thanks Valerie for watching Wallie again! Wallie usually takes a couple days to settle in a new environment, and Valerie stayed closer to Wallie in the living room overnight to help him settle in!”

“Ben was an amazing sitter. I was traveling and he watched my Daschund / Corgi mix for the weekend. He provided him with his daily exercise and provided photos. Would definitely recommend him to anyone that need a sitter!”

“Took care of muffin very well! My planned sitter cancelled 2 hours before my trip and Thao was so kind to accept Muffin last minute before I had to leave! Muffin is a senior and she took such loving care of her. I will trust her again in the future! Appreciate your help!”

“We had a great experience with Sharon! Right from the start, we felt so good about leaving our dog with her - at the meet & greet our dog kept Sharon's genuine love for animals, combined with a cozy and safe home, put our mind at ease, which made our trip so much more relaxing. You could tell she had everything planned out to fit our active dog's needs - our pup was on a great schedule and was so happy the whole time. The best part was getting all the updates! She sent us a bunch of photos and messages, which was so reassuring and allowed us to get a glimpse of what our dog was up to. It was awesome seeing how well Sharon and family took care of our dog. She's seriously the best, and we'd recommend her to anyone. We're already planning to book with her again!”

“This was the first time I tried a pet sitter app. My family are my usual dog sitters but they were all unavailable. So I requested Leah because my sister in law told me about her. I was really nervous but my sister in law told me about Rover & Leah and how much my fur nephews loved it there. We had to go on an unexpected trip for a funeral and Leah took care of my girl, Callie & fur nephews. Week before I even dropped off Callie, Leah was responsive to my questions and kind & patient with me. She let me know to create instructions on how to care for Callie & was so sweet & appreciative when I gave her back a full “book” of instructions. She was very reassuring that she & her family would care for Callie really well. Once my husband & I dropped off Callie to Leah, we were given a warm and welcoming greeting. She was inviting and just gave a very calming energy. Her place was clean, full of toys dog safe. Her furniture & products she used felt dog friendly & like a perfect second home for Callie. I felt really good about leaving Callie with her. During the trip we received updates. If I found myself just missing Callie and decided to check in by messaging Leah through the app, she was so responsive!. I knew Leah & her family were giving Callie lots of love & care (made obvious by the pictures sent through rover app). I was able to focus on family during this trip knowing Callie was in great hands! I only left Callie with Leah for 2 nights but, after this experience I would trust Leah to care for Callie for week(s) if needed. In the future, and if need to find care for my dog again, I will hope and pray Leah is available the days I need. She was awesome!!”

“This was the very first time I’ve ever left my 10 year old dog, Coco with anyone and I was honestly so nervous. But Son was absolutely amazing and made the entire experience so comforting for both of us. From the beginning, communication was great and we felt completely comfortable leaving Coco in his care. It was obvious she received lots of attention, love, and care during her stay. The updates and care he provided gave me so much peace of mind. Coco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like family.”

“Malika was an amazing cat sitter for Gigi! Gigi is very shy and cautious around new people, but Malika was very patient and knew how to help her feel comfortable. Gigi is also a 16 year old senior cat with a more specific feeding routine, and Malika followed everything carefully. She sent regular updates a few times a day which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Malika was communicative and very knowledgeable about cats. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

“Havi is very happy to be hope and I can’t thank you enough for all the photos and care you gave him. You made the whole experience positive and took the stress off me. Thank you again!!!”

“5 Star Review!! I am so please we picked to leave Beignet with Jennifer and David. Beignet was very happy, got a lot of exercise and even went up to Jennifer to say goodby when we picked him up. Jennifer sent us pictures, and kept us up to date on how Beignet was doing. I will leave Beignet with Jennifer and David anytime.”

“TR had my cat for one week. I have had her for 10 years and I have NEVER boarded her before so I was a bit nervous. TR did an amazing job getting her to feel comfortable away from home and she was great about sending updates, pics and videos to me! I am so thankful and appreciate how skilled and mature and reliable TR is!!!”

“Kimberly is just wonderful! She’s kind, dependable and stays in communication making it easy to enjoy your time away knowing they are in good hands. I’ve used her services a few times over the last year and highly recommend her! Thank you, Kimberly, for such great care and love for my dogs.”
“My dog had an absolute blast at Dianna’s place. He is an energetic dog that likes to play with other dogs for physical and mental exercise, and Dianna’s place is the perfect spot for that as it’s like a mini dog park with multiple dogs at all times and a big backyard. Also, Dianna sends multiple photos throughout the dog to keep us posted, really helpful in knowing my dog is safe and having a good time.”

“Dawn took amazing care of our dog! She sent great photos, videos, and recaps every day. Our dog actually developed an ear infection the day after we dropped him off, and she went above and beyond in coordinating with me to get him to the vet to get him taken care of. I wish I could give her 6 stars!”

“Nikisha is great! We booked a bit last minute and she was able to accommodate us. She came for a meet & greet which we really appreciated. She was thorough and took care of everything we had discussed. She also sent notes and photos which were much appreciated as well. We’ll definitely book with Nikisha again!”

“Christina was an amazing cat sitter! She took care to make sure our finicky cat's routine was kept up, gave him cuddles that he loved and made sure to send the cutest pics and videos to us while we were gone. Thanks again Christina for taking such great care of our kitty!”


“This is the first time Joleen takes care of my holland lop Piggy and she did a great job!! Piggy was doing great when I came back home and the floor was very clean. Thank you so much for your help!”

“I was so happy that Michele was available over Labor Day weekend. My cat was very happy the last time Michele cared for her, and this time was no different. She sent daily pictures and detailed updates about my cat that really put me at ease while I was traveling knowing that she was doing well. A package containing very important medication arrived one day just a few minutes after Michele had left my house. I had forgotten that it was coming, and was having a panic about it being out on my doorstep for 24 hours. Without hesitation, Michele offered to make another trip to my house to secure the package. She even sent me a picture of it safely inside. I have nothing but praise for Michele and will happily hire her again.”

“Dylan took excellent care of my two cats. He made sure Gizmo got his medication, fed both cats correctly, and kept the litter box clean. Thank you for the adorable photos of Luna and Gizmo during each visit. They are looking forward to seeing you next time :)”

“Hailey was our first ever pet sitter for our kittens and she was so amazing. I had a hard time leaving them and she made me feel like they would be well taken care of. She sent photos and wrote detailed reports that made me feel like a mom getting a kindergarten report. Looking forward to hiring her again for our next trip.”

“Elise has been an amazing help to us, administering subcutaneous meds to our kitty, Rosie! She is an excellent communicator, is flexible and dependable with her scheduling and is always caring towards Rosie. We will definitely ask for her help, if needed, in the future. Highly recommend her for your fur baby!!”


“Shawna is amazing! She looked after our cat for three whole weeks while we were on vacation, and when we got back, our cat was so happy and healthy! Shawna made sure to follow all the instructions we gave her and even cleaned up after our cat. She sent us the cutest photos of our cat during every visit. We're definitely sticking with her as our go-to cat sitter, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter! She's the best!”


“Shelly was a great choice! Every specific care task was completed. Last minute, one of my cats needed medication and she gladly took care of that as well. Shelly was punctual, communicated great, and helpful. One of my cats is super shy, but eventually opened up with Shelly (which is a good sign.) My cats were clearly happy and very-cared for. She provided up to date info after each visit and included cute photos of the two cats :) She definitely provided a sense of comfort and assurance while we were away. I would definitely recommend Shelly to other pet owners.”

“Thanks a lot Andrea, we really appreciate your help and support. Mika was taken care off very nicely when we were away and we thank you for that. As a sign of our appreciation, we are leaving a small token gift for you”


About: I have fostered two cats for 2 months and cat sat multiple times for my friends. I've made DIY enrichment toys for energetic cats, and also co-existed peacefully with cats who preferred to interact only when it's time to eat. I enjoy learning the personalities and quirks of each cat I meet, and am always grateful for the opportunity to be trusted with the care of your pet!

“Olivia was great! She was very particular and took note of all requirements per visit. She communicates promptly and keeps you posted on your pets' states. She is a reliable sitter and cares for your pets.”


About: I have Animal Shelter, Pet Store and Personal Pet experience with Cats. They are such unique and lovely companions. I can’t wait to meet new cats and leave a loving impression on their beautiful lives.

“Terri responded quickly to messages and provided photos with every visit. She also made sure to clean out my cat's litterbox, and give him treats and toys to play with. I especially appreciated her prompt and thorough service around the holiday season.”
“Xiaowei was an amazing sitter for my cats, one of whom needed to take medicine every 12 hours. She is kind and personable, and the cats liked her right away. I would give a 6th star if I could!”

About: I have a lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats since I’m 10, lots of my friends trust me to take care of their pets. Like taking the dog to walk or just play with them at home. I’m currently working part-time , got some time in weekday. Just let me know if you want to feed your pets or take them to walk. I’ll make sure they want eat thing they shouldn’t eat, for dog, I’ll stroke and play with them, for cat , I know some cat doesn’t like ppl to touch them, I only touch them if they come to rub me.

“Ru and family are very nice and warm with dogs. She has a dog as well and knows how to handle one very well. She requested a meet and greet to ensure Gabbar and her dog got along. She timely sent pictures and updates for Gabbar and followed his schedule through. She had a neighbors dog come along to her place when gabbar was there for a play date and Gabbar enjoyed a lot. I would definitely have Ru look over Gabbar again and would recommend others as well.”

“Melissa & Tommy are genuinely such good to honest animal loving people. We are so appreciative of their patience and calm demeanor around our furbabies. Our furbabies are a lot to handle. One of them has high anxiety to loud sounds, movements, strangers and the little one is a snuggly rascal. But Melissa & Tommy handled and cared for them with so much love. We are grateful. They also provided tons of updates. We appreciate that a lot! Thank you so much!!”


“Ezra took excellent care of Apollo! She sent periodic updates to throughout the day and I felt very safe leaving him with her. It’s clear she cares a lot about the dogs she watches and I’ve already booked her for future stays.”

“Pissamas, was waiting in front of her house o greet us and our dog LuLu . She sent pictures and video of LuLu several times during the stay which reassured us that LuLu was doing OK. We will definitely be using Pissamas again for future boarding”

“Dawn took care of our puppy and she did an amazing job. Our little yorkie had an amazing time and Dawn kept us updated with photos and videos. She is an awesome person to take care of your dog. We look forward to requesting her day care services again soon.”

“I recently had to go back to the office and was anxious about leaving my stinker of a puppy (😂) with a sitter. After giving Mimi a try based on her great reviews then meeting her in person, I have zero regrets. She is incredibly kind, and my dog loves staying with her. He always comes home tired and happy. That’s a sign he got plenty of play and exercise. What I really really like about leaving my dog with Mimi is that he gets social interaction with other dogs which is his number 1 priority so I guess it’s mine too. 😂 Thank you Mimi for accommodating my changes in scheduling and taking good care of Finn. He loves you!!”

“This is our second time with Elma and we’re super happy with the care she provides for Kenji. He was super excited to come back to Elma’s place and he left super happy. Will definitely be back! :)”

“Ana was very caring to our little dog. She’s very thorough and amazing. So lucky to have her take care of Inday. She sends us pictures and videos to keep us updated. Very much recommended!”


“Juanyi and her husband are very caring dog sitters. My dog was very comfortable at their place as if home away from home. Juanyi is very good on keeping you informed with pictures and videos on how your dog stay is going. I am happy and looking forward to keep my dog for a longer stay soon.”

“Kenny did a great job watching our dog Dino during the day. He was flexible with my schedule and sent picture updates. Dino clearly enjoyed the one-on-one attention and was excited to see Kenny again at the next drop-off.”

“Pup had a great time with Maria and her pups. Maria took great care of our pup during daycare and was very responsive. She was also available for last minute booking, which I greatly appreciate!”

“Max was great with my dog! He made me feel comfortable, and Toby is such a sweet, friendly dog. My pup came home happy, and I really appreciated the care and attention. I'd definitely recommend Max! 🐾😊”

“Shawna is so great!! Excellent at communicating. Goose had such an amazing time on their walks this weekend. We didn’t have to worry about Goose while we were away because we knew he was in excellent hands. Thank you, Shawna!”

About: Hi there! I'm Joleen, a devoted animal lover with over a decade of experience as a pet parent to my schnoodle, Donut, who I cared for from puppyhood through his senior years. That journey taught me the ins and outs of pet care, training, senior and mobility needs, medication routines, and creating a calm, safe environment for a dog through every life stage. Donut was a quick study too (sit, roll over, shake — the works!), so I have a soft spot for training-minded pups. Having a pet is a true blessing, and I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your fur baby like family. I ensure that your fur baby is safe by paying close attention to them and attending to their needs when necessary. I’ll also monitor their environment to make sure they feel secure and protected. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, practicing tricks, or simply providing a comforting presence, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m available throughout the week, weekends, and holidays, to meet your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or drop-in visits, I’m here to provide reliable and supportive care whenever it’s needed. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my focus, and I can accommodate your schedule to ensure they feel safe and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During dog walks, I ensure your pup stays secure on a leash, follows your preferred routes, and avoids any potential hazards. For drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, playtime, and any special care needs, while keeping a close eye on their environment to ensure it’s safe and clean. I pay close attention to details, such as double-checking doors and gates, monitoring your pet’s behavior, and providing updates to keep you informed. Trust is essential, and I’m committed to treating your home and your pet with the utmost respect and care.
“Son was a great walker for my parents dog while she (the dog) was staying with me for a few weeks! He made sure to follow her pace and provided fantastic reports for each of her walks. He was kind to her and understanding of her needs, and provided photos and info about each walk. Definitely would have him walk for us again in the future!”

“Elizabeth was absolutely lovely! We had a wonderful meet and greet, Carly took to her immediately and she doesn't do that with everyone. Elizabeth checked in and sent photos. When I got home it was clear that she had taken wonderful care of my pup. I will absolutely have her again.”

“We've booked dog walks with Christina multiple times and she consistently does wonderful with our dog. You can tell how much she cares for animals. We appreciate how she provides photos and takes care to log all the potty and water breaks. Highly recommend her services!”


About: I’ve had a pet of my own for more than 10 years and have helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away. I love all type of dogs from breeds to size. I have a full time corporate job that demand three days in office. I am available to assist from Thursday to Sunday. There should be plenty of play time and ability to keep your pet company. I have a pet on my own with extra crate for your pup if needed. I am experienced with walking and controlling high energy dog. My house won’t have a yard so dog will be safe within the house.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends and families dogs for years and absolutely love doing so. Everything from overnights in your home to drop ins for walks and potty breaks, your best friend is in good hands My schedule is very flexible and I am available to take care of your best friend at very short notice. I pride myself on being dependable and caring. I appreciate knowing all of the details about your best friend. What is their temperament, do they like long walks or snuggles? Is your cat playful or shy? Every detail helps me take the absolute best care of your best friend.
“Sarah did great job walking Goldie. She was helpful throughout all the walks and very good with communicating. She followed all instructions and did the very best she could do to walk my pet.”


About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up caring for my senior dog, including giving him medication, taking him on walks, and helping with his care as he got older. I also grew up around horses and have cared for some more unusual pets, including my own ghost mantis! I currently work part-time about three days a week. My shifts vary, but I receive my schedule in advance, which allows me to plan pet care around my work schedule and coordinate availability with owners ahead of time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine and any specific instructions closely. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I can’t recommend her enough! She is incredibly sweet, reliable, and genuinely cares about Coco’s happiness and well-being. She always arrives on time and goes above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and loved. Coco is always so happy after their walks, and that says everything. Im so grateful to have her!”

About: I have Animal Shelter and Pet Store experience. I have had pets all of my adult life and sincerely believe that they are the best enrichment of human lives. I have medication experience and have been trained to be cautious of medical conditions. I can be trusted to act fast for worst case scenarios (knock on wood). I know how to take the best care of pets with the knowledge I’ve learned from my own experiences over the years. I work full time at a dealership but, with enough notice I can make sure to be available for your pets when needed. I am available every evening after 7pm Tuesday - Saturday and all day Sundays and Mondays I have 2 cats, a free roaming rabbit and geckos at home with my partner. I love taking care of their individual needs and giving them treats and toys to make them happy.

“Zhengjun is amazing! She’s very reliable and great with communication, always sending lots of photos and updates. My dog absolutely loves her. I’m so grateful for her extra care on rainy days, making sure my dog is clean and dry before heading back into his crate. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring walker!”


About: My family and I have raised and owned pets in the house since I was a young child. As a member of your family, they deserve the utmost care and respect. I love playing and taking dogs out for walks. Entrusting your dog with me means they are given the same love and respect that you do, and hopefully going above and beyond. It’s a huge leap of faith leaving your animal with someone else and I hope to be like a secondary family member to your dog instead of just a caregiver! I currently have an open schedule. I can provide pet care as much or as little necessary. I am flexible and great with time management in order to provide the best service for your pets! It is important as a new person coming in to not disrupt you and your animals routine too much. I want to provide care that can match your daily life or needs as much as possible. It is important to me to gather all the appropriate information and to follow instructions ensuring you and your pets happiness.
“Katie was great to work with! She was punctual, had great communication and sent us pictures of our dogs after their walks. They look so happy with her! I would definitely recommend Katie for your rover needs! Thanks Katie!”

“We had a great experience with Sharon! Right from the start, we felt so good about leaving our dog with her - at the meet & greet our dog kept Sharon's genuine love for animals, combined with a cozy and safe home, put our mind at ease, which made our trip so much more relaxing. You could tell she had everything planned out to fit our active dog's needs - our pup was on a great schedule and was so happy the whole time. The best part was getting all the updates! She sent us a bunch of photos and messages, which was so reassuring and allowed us to get a glimpse of what our dog was up to. It was awesome seeing how well Sharon and family took care of our dog. She's seriously the best, and we'd recommend her to anyone. We're already planning to book with her again!”

“This was the very first time I’ve ever left my 10 year old dog, Coco with anyone and I was honestly so nervous. But Son was absolutely amazing and made the entire experience so comforting for both of us. From the beginning, communication was great and we felt completely comfortable leaving Coco in his care. It was obvious she received lots of attention, love, and care during her stay. The updates and care he provided gave me so much peace of mind. Coco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like family.”

“5 Star Review!! I am so please we picked to leave Beignet with Jennifer and David. Beignet was very happy, got a lot of exercise and even went up to Jennifer to say goodby when we picked him up. Jennifer sent us pictures, and kept us up to date on how Beignet was doing. I will leave Beignet with Jennifer and David anytime.”

“This is the second time we hired Juliana to watch our dog, Maui, and we were very happy with her services. She's very communicative and shares updates and pictures regularly. Still highly recommend her and we look forward to a future booking with her.”

“Natasha took excellent care of our Golden Retriever. This was our first time boarding with her and I noticed how she is very detail orientated when observing dogs. She suggested a short daycare visit first before the boarding and it was a smart and wise decision. She pays very close attention to instructions for your pet and deeply cares about their well being. Oliver got lots of exercise and was able to socialize with other dogs under her care. We received so many photos letting us know our dog was happy and healthy. She is a true pet lover and we will use her again for our next trip. Thank you Natasha”
“Sofia was so welcoming to Luna and was very patient with her separation anxiety. She took such good care of Luna and sent a daily update with a picture. I felt very much at ease leaving Luna with Sofie knowing that she was being loved and cared for. I will book with Sofia for my next trip!”

“Linh and Torrey took great care of Willis our 14 yr old boxer. I would highly recommend them caring for your fur baby. I wouldn't hesitate to have them care for Willis again and hope they are available for our next trip!!!”

“Jacqueline took exceptional care of our pup, Luka, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every picture that Luka was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Luka is a Belgian Malinois, so he has a lot of energy and requires plenty of physical and mental engagement. Jacqueline did a wonderful job meeting his needs while also making him feel at home. Their home is beautiful, with a secure backyard and plenty of toys for the dogs to enjoy. One of the coolest parts of his stay was that Luka learned to use a doggie door for the first time. It gave him the freedom to come and go into the yard as needed, and I know that also makes things easier for the family caring for the dogs. Although this was only a short stay, Jacqueline followed all of our care instructions, including Luka’s feeding routine, and treated him like one of her own. One thoughtful detail that really stood out was how carefully they packed all of Luka’s belongings exactly the way we had brought them. It wasn’t something they had to do, but it showed how much care and attention they put into everything. We truly appreciate the excellent care Luka received and will absolutely be booking with Jacqueline again. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive sitter.”

“Michelle and her family were wonderful sitters for our frenchie, Odie! They were highly attentive, communicative, and so easy to work with, which made the entire experience stress-free. As a Frenchie, Odie is very sensitive to heat in the summer, and they kept their home cool and comfortable for him. Frenchies are also extremely affectionate, and Michelle’s family made sure Odie felt loved every step of the way. Most importantly, they made him feel right at home and truly part of their family. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely recommend them!”

“Andrew was AMAZING!! If you are hunting for someone to care for your animal while you are away he will treat your pets like one of his own. He sent lots of pictures and videos, took her on lots of walks, and she loved playing with his pup. I know leaving your fur babies with strangers is so hard but he is an amazing sitter and one we will forever use as long as he keeps sitting. Trust me he is a great choice.”

“We’ve never left our dog with anyone but immediate family and never with anyone for 12 days. Anusha managed our high energy dog perfectly and developed a rapport with him right away. She also managed my own anxiety by sending photos and videos twice daily to show me that our dog was relaxed and happy in her care. I can’t thank her enough for the care and attention she provided.”

“Nathasa was great! First time booking her for our little guy. She picked up and dropped off. Kept us up to date as well. Our little guy sure did enjoy Nathasa’s company. Definitely will rebook for future needs. Thank you!”

“Jose was absolutely amazing. We booked him last minute on a Friday to watch our pups on Sunday and he was very professional and welcoming. He asked all the right questions and sent us pictures and updates the whole time. I would highly recommend him for anyone that needs pup boarding.”

“Everything went smoothly despite my puppy’s high energy. Rachel and her husband offered a meet and greet, were curious about rules I have for my pet so they could adhere to them too, they gave her great exercise and an opportunity to play with their dogs, they are experienced and have a safe home, and it seems like my puppy just really liked it there. She came back tired and happy. I would rebook.”


“Ghazal is super responsive, gives a lot of attention to my dog, and provides the right care to her. She sent a lot of photos and I can definitely see that my dog is spending a great time with her! I will highly recommend her and rebook again :)”

“**⭐️ 5 Stars – Amazing Dog Sitter! ⭐️** I couldn’t be happier with the care Mary provided for Kajree! From the very beginning, Mary was attentive, loving, and truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup felt safe, happy, and well-cared for. Almost daily updates (including adorable photos and videos!) gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and it was clear Kajree had a great time with them. Whether it was walks, being goofy, or being cared for as a senior dog, Mary and her kids treated my dog like their family. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you for everything—we’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾❤️”

“Ezra was fantastic with Bob. She took him pretty last minute and over the holiday too! Bob was happy staying with Ezra and playing with the other dogs. Ezra sent a few pictures and gave daily updates on how Bob was doing. Thanks Ezra.”
