“Starlee is always nervous with new people and animals. I can tell Natalie cares a lot and did a great job making her feel comfortable. When I came to pick her up she was a lot more relaxed and happy. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Kolten and Julia were responsive and took excellent care of Dexter. This was our first time using Rover and they made sure it was an excellent one. The sent many pictures of Dexter during his stay. They made the experience very simple which helped us from worrying.”
“Lauren was AMAZING!! This was my first time using Rover in years, as I typically have friends and family watch my dogs. But, we had a wedding that everyone attended. After months of trying someone that was willing to watch my anxious and reactive dogs, I got so lucky to find Lauren! She immediately eased any concern during our meet and greet, and my dogs who don’t like strangers immediately were comfortable with her. She shared stories about her experience with different needs and personalities, which made me feel much better. When I dropped my dogs off, she assured me she would send updates, and she delivered!! Even if I wasn’t able to reply, she continued to send pictures, videos, and updates about their days. Both dogs came home happy and tired. I’m pretty sure they thought they were on vacation. I would 1000% recommend booking with her. We will be using Lauren for future trips!!”
“Stefanie was so great with our boy. From the start she was super communicative and attentive to his needs. We got daily updates and she was flexible when we had some last minute change of plans. Overall I felt at ease knowing our boy was in good hands.”
“From the moment I met Liam and Nadia I knew Bella would be in excellent hands. And I was right! They took great care of Bella! They updated me daily with pictures and messages about how my pup was doing. They were ready when I dropped Bella off and upon pick up they had all of our belongings and Bella all ready to go home. They also have an adorable puppy, also name Bella, that my Bella LOVED playing with. I was almost worried my Bella wouldn't want to leave. In fact when I picked her up, she was overjoyed to see me, but actually ran back to Nadia to say goodbye. Thank you so much Liam and Nadia! If we have a pet sitting need in the future we wouldn't hesitate reaching out again.”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy behind and Karen was amazing! She sent plenty of updates and pictures showing us how Cooper was doing and he looked like he was having the best time in every picture! He was well taken care of and we will definitely bring him back whenever we need a sitter again.”
“Huda was wonderful. I can tell she really loved my dog and was able to work with him as he can be anxious on walks. He came home happy and I could tell he was comfortable. Huda really seems to have a way with dogs, she gets them. She’s also a great communicator and kind person. Thank you Huda, we are so happy to have found you!”
“Excellent! Our senior dog and puppy both loved their stay. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away. I felt in the loop the whole time. He answered my question quickly. Helpful reminders and easy drop off and pick up.”
“Peter was great! Once I met him, I had no worries leaving my babies with him. He was very responsive and sent updates and pictures. I highly recommend him, unless it will make him too busy to be available for my pups!????”
“Justine was a fantastic sitter. Our dog had a wonderful time with Justine and her family. We loved the frequent updates with pictures and videos, and Justine asked great questions ahead of her stay to ensure she knew our dog and her quirks. We will definitely book with Justine again and highly recommend her.”
“Shirley and their family are amazing. My family and I haven’t been on a trip for a while. I was a little nervous because my little guy still had a lot of energy, and he is a mama‘s boy, but he did fantastic. I really appreciate having videos and pictures sent to me multiple times throughout the day. I highly recommend it, and we will be back.”
“Sant was absolutely wonderful with Westley! He was incredibly attentive and took great care of him while we were away. His communication was excellent throughout his stay, and he regularly sent us pictures and videos, which really gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for.”
“Sally is so amazing!! As a new puppy owner and recently gaining a second puppy unexpectedly she was so caring and loving to my puppies. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout their stay. I will definitely be using Sally again for any future needs!!”

“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week.

I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
“Our Maisie(Airedale) stayed with Lisa and we are sure she had a great time! When we went to pick her up, we thought she’d be waiting at the front door. But nope, Lisa had to call her from whatever fun she was having in the back yard! Thank you Lisa for making our girl feel at home🐶”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“I am so glad i found Awa! I was very nervous to leave my baby Max for the whole month, but Awa’s care for Max helped to ease my worries a lot. Awa was also very flexible and accommodating. I will definitely book her again. Max and I thank you very much, Awa!”
“Nikki and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, LeBron, during his week-long stay in their home. They welcomed him like part of the family and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They sent daily updates and photos, which truly made our day and gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. He also had a great time playing with their older dog, Edie, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, and you can tell they genuinely love the dogs they care for. They even went above and beyond by being flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and were able to keep him for an extra day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Nikki and her family to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and reliable sitters. We will absolutely book with them again.”

“Stephanie was fantastic! We booked last minute and she fit us in. She took wonderful care of our cat - coaxed her out of hiding and made her comfortable. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Taylor took such good care of my cats! She took all kinds of pictures and followed care instructions perfectly. My cats absolutely adored her too, and they can sometimes take a bit to warm up to people. 100% will rebook with her in the future.”
“Dede was fantastic! She took great care of my boys, and was swift with a potty accident that happened after we left. Our eldest, Bilbo, has a tendency to show his disproval that way... but Dede was a trooper! She kept us updated on their temperaments the whole time we were gone. They absolutely loved her company! We came back and it was like we were never gone, they welcomed us without giving us the cold shoulder, couldn't be happier with how well Dede took care of them :-).”
About: I have loved animals since I first learned what an animal was and 27 years into life I haven't stopped! I have 7+ years of dog/cat/house sitting experience and I can administer medications if needed, along with taking care of other typical pet sitting tasks such as feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and of course, offering lots of affection and pets! Currently I’m in school (mostly online) for pre vet-med and working just as a pet sitter so I have plenty of free time to watch over your fur babies! :) I am always willing to personalize my services to best conform to your pets' medical, physical, and emotional well-being, just let me know what specific needs your pet(s) have and I will cater to them!
“Maria is a true lover of animals. She played with and cuddled our GusGus with TLC, ensured his kitty water was fresh, litter box was tidied, and fed him. She took pictures and provided daily updates on him. Her care gave us peace of mind on our little guy. We couldn’t have asked for better care for him.”
“Excellent experience. Vanson took great care of my cat Mochi and was flexible in allowing me to pick him up a few days early. Provided regular updates with photos via text. Highly recommend.”
About: I've taken care of cats and even helped train them since I was a toddler. I absolutely love caring for cats. I’m very patient and gentle, and I give them time to warm up at their own pace. I’m often told, “They never come out for people,” or “How did you get them to play? They’re usually so shy!” I truly enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable, curious, and secure while you’re away.
“Ms Megan asked good questions, remembered everything, and accomodated changes easily. When I returned, Miss Rumble was content like I had never been gone. Cat was so comfortable with the schedule Megan established, I decided to follow the feeding schedule myself. Megan's consistent attention toward Little Miss Rumble, helped me become a more effective caretaker too! Megan sent pictures & coments, and attended the litter boxes every visit.”
About: I grew up caring for neighbors and family friends cats and dogs and have always been the go to contact for my community. I have taken care of cats with medical needs as well and have experience administering medication and experience caring for elderly cats as well.

About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, including many years with the San Francisco SPCA. I'm also Fear Free Certified, with extensive experience recognizing feline body language and reducing fear, anxiety, and stress. I've worked with cats of all ages, personalities, and comfort levels—from outgoing kittens who want to be part of everything to shy or fearful cats who prefer that I earn their trust from across the room. I'm comfortable caring for senior cats, multi-cat households, and cats with medication routines or other special needs. My veterinary background also means I pay close attention to the little things—appetite, water intake, litter box habits, mobility, behavior, and anything else that seems different from normal. Most importantly, I let cats be cats. I won't force attention on a cat who wants space, and I'll happily provide all the playtime, chin scratches, and lap time to the ones who don't. I'll follow your cat's normal routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and details from every visit.

“Justine is nothing short of amazing! We were looking for someone who could handle the puppy energy of our sweet, 8 month-old Shih Tzu, and Justine and Bodi fit the bill. After a couple initial visits at their house, we brought Ollie over for a full day, and he absolutely LOVED it. Justine is fantastic. She’s professional, super responsive, and is just generally warm and kind. She understood our anxieties around the touchy nature of socializing a puppy, and she handled it all with grace and ease. We feel so lucky to have Justine as an invaluable resource not just for us, but for Ollie, too. Thanks so much!”
“Our frenchie spent an exciting day with Vanson’s dogs. He loves to run around and that’s exactly what he did. Vanson sent photos and a video of Bentley having fun. This was Bentley’s first stay with Vanson and it was a success.”
“Sant and his lovely peaceful Family has become a part of My Family after ONLY one and a half days' time at there magnificent place. I highly advise extreme caution for any future visitors (the ones blessed to receive a "booking confirmation" from Sant&Family)... Heightened awareness of: Motor vehicle rushings Senseless speediness Distracted driving Children hauling gear Overpopulated areas Robot activities ....& a few more. Thank you for being aware and respective of my familial families home. Please conduct business with awareness and respect. BE SAFE 🦋”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Chardonnay! Chardonnay is currently recovering from back surgery, so we were especially nervous about leaving her with someone new. Rachel handled her with so much care, attention, and love, and immediately put us at ease. She was a great communicator and sent us tons of updates and photos throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind. It was clear that Rachel is a true dog lover and genuinely cared about Chardonnay’s comfort and well being. She asked all the right questions about how to safely handle and care for her during her post op recovery, which we really appreciated. We could tell Chardonnay was in great hands because she looked so content and completely at ease with Rachel. We would absolutely trust Rachel with Chardonnay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter!”
“First time at Connie’s place was a good one. Teddy enjoyed the large back yard. Connie assured us with several photos of him playing. We will be returning for overnight boarding soon!”
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring and loving my dogs as well as family members dogs. My experience is with many different dog breeds. I'm currently available to work weekdays as well as weekends to provide you with trusted and dependable dog walking and dog sitting services. I am flexible and can work with all schedules. I am very cautious when walking my dog assuring he is tethered and doesn't get too close to other dogs I don't know and trust. I take care to be aware of my environment when out in public to assure the safety of my dog. I take care to walk my dog only as long as is healthy for him as he's a senior dog. I recognize younger dogs may need to be exercised more to assure proper exercise is had.
“Very attentive. Very positive experience. The enthusiasm Liam gave in meeting our dogs, the updates and the attention they received way surpassed our expectations. Lovely grounds for the dogs to play in. We felt very safe with our two dogs in their care. So happy and plan to use them again as a local resource when we need a date night etc. Thanks sooo much!”
“I couldn't be happier with Monica, This is the third time I've used her services for my dog, and she continues to be absolutely wonderful. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“We had such a great first experience with Sara! She was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I felt very comfortable leaving Fifi in her care. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day, as well as how attentive she was to Fifi and her individual needs. It was wonderful to hear that she had fun with Sara’s family, including her sweet dog Shadow, and was getting lots of attention and love throughout the day. Fifi was happy and comfortable when I picked her up, which means everything to me. I would absolutely feel good about leaving her with Sara again and I look forward to Fifi’s future stays with her!”
“We were worried about leaving our new puppy for the first time, but Alisha set up a Zoom so we could meet her the day before and it was immediately obvious that she would take great care of our little guy. Then, when we dropped him off, he practically jumped into her arms and made himself at home in the space she has set up which is perfect for doggy guests. She sent us updates and pics throughout the evening. We are very glad to have Alisha nearby for the future. I especially appreciate her depth of knowledge -- she is a great resource for those of us who have limited experience with raising puppies!”
“Sabrina you’re awesome! Thank you for all the communication, being flexible with our schedule, and sending all the photos. Radley was one tired little puppy! So happy we found you.”
“Tamiko was absolutely wonderful! I have a very anxious and neurotic little Aussiedoodle and Tamiko was wonderful with her. She is clearly devoted to ensuring that the dogs in her care have an enjoyable and safe experience, and she sent lots of photos to me during the day that allowed me to see how relaxed and "at ease" Harper was. I'm new to the sitter experience, and Tamiko made the whole process such a pleasure for both of us. Thank you!”
“Our dogs went to Colleen and Paul’s house for doggy day care two days this week. Conveniently, Colleen picked them up and dropped them off. Our dogs were so well taken care while they with in Colleen’s care. She took them on walks, played with them, and even gave them enrichment activities. They came home tired and happy. My daughter said our dog Roddy stood at the door and cried for Colleen after she dropped him off. Additionally, their house is all set up for the comfort of dogs with multiple dog beds for them to choose from. We highly recommend Colleen and will definitely be using her for our dogs’ care again.”
“Awa cared for our senior dog Gizmo for 12 days, she provided updates on request and also provided videos regularly. Gizmo was in a cone for the entire visit, required medication and special diet instructions. We were hesitant about leaving Gizzi while he was not feeling his best but Awa assured us Gizzi is in good hands. Thanks to Awa, we were able to enjoy much needed time away.”
“Neela was friendly and communicative. She read my care instructions and asked questions. My pup Katara can sometimes get stressed in new environments but she seemed at home in the photo updates and she came home relaxed and happy. I already booked Katara's next stay with Neela!”

“Stephanie is awesome! My big lab is pretty anxious and excitable around new people and she warmed right up to Stephanie. She is super calm, confident, and obviously an experienced dog handler, and I felt great about sending my big fur baby off with her for an adventure. Will definitely be hiring her again for dog walks!”
“Jenna has been walking my girl Ellie while my foot is broken and she has been absolute life saver! She’s keeping Ellie safe while making sure she gets the exercise she needs and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
“Our go to dog walker for when Milo needs one. My dog is always excited to see Joseph and Joseph communicates well despite his busy schedule as he is a popular dog walker.”
About: I offer calm, personalized care in a quiet home where your dog is treated like family, not one of many in a busy boarding facility or a home with multiple dogs. I typically host one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention, genuine affection, and all the cuddles they can handle. My home is the right fit for friendly dogs who love companionship, walks, and settling into a peaceful routine. I'm especially drawn to dogs who thrive with one-on-one attention rather than the noise and energy of a busy multi-dog environment. I'm certified in Pet CPR, Healing Touch for Animals, and Reiki. And beyond the credentials, I'm deeply attuned to each dog's personality and energy. That attunement is what helps them settle in quickly and feel genuinely at ease. My connection to animals runs deep. I spent five years volunteering at Lindsay Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, working in both the mammal department and wildlife hospital with injured and recovering animals. That experience sharpened my understanding of animal behavior and reinforced something I already believed: animals feel safety before they understand it. My goal is always to create that feeling from the moment your dog arrives! Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone for long periods and receive plenty of attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, they become part of a calm and comfortable daily routine. I primarily host dogs from 1 household at a time so each pet receives plenty of individual attention. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, playtime, and relaxed downtime, and I’m home much of the day since I work from home. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe and settled. For drop-in visits or walks in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter care for cats, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to send photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Aileen was responsive, on time, great at communicating, followed instructions, and did a great job walking my Malinois long enough for her to get a bit of exercise and much needed potty break while we were out of town on a day trip.”
“I didn't get to meet Halona in person, but my wife said she was very nice. Also, she was quick with responses when we were planning the walk for my dog. I will definitely contact her again! Thank you!”
About: I’m a dog lover and mom. I had a Boston Terrier who passed away. She was by my side kick for 15 years. One of my most favorite things to do was come home from work and walk my dog. So I’d love to share my love of walking with your dog! We love the companionship of dogs. We welcome any dogs for walks and overnight stays. I love dogs and they love me! I don’t mind the kisses or giving them the best belly scratches! I believe dogs give us a reason to smile and are a reminder to always lead with love. I promise to love your dog as if he/she were my own. I’m looking forward to spending time outside in different neighborhoods with new dogs. Please message me with any questions. I work locally and come home for a 2 hour lunch break. My teenagers are home around 3 pm so the longest time that dogs are alone is 2-3 hours (depending on if I have an early lunch). I walk the dogs in the morning for about 1-2 miles through the neighborhood. I walk them on my lunch again for about .5-1 mile. Then one more long walk when I get home. I feed them when we return from our morning and evening walks. Unless, there is a preferred set schedule for feeding. Your dog will be loved and cared for as if he/she is our own. We always walk on-leash. We separate the dogs during feeding times.
“We hired Diane for drop-ins and for walking our senior dog and we were very happy with her service. You can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs. I recommend her to anyone! Thanks, Dede!”
About: I have patience caring for dogs, including end of life for senior dogs and dogs age 1 year and up. This includes bathing, walking, tending to wounds, playing with and taking them along on vacation! I am a college student that is studying to be an accountant. I need a flexible job. Dog walking is a perfect job for me, because I love dogs and spending time with them outdoors. I can play with your dogs, give them long walks, brush their fur, and keep them company with dog play until the are tired and happy.
About: I have loved animals ever since I was young! I have a senior dog myself who I've been taking care of for 13 years. I'm very active so I love going on walks. I have experience also taking care of cats when my neighbors would be out of town. I do prefer to only take care of two animals max per household.
About: Hi there! I have taken care of 5+ different families pets that include dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc! I love taking care of dogs & cats especially and have experience in pets of all ages. I also have experience in emergency situations with elderly pets, that called for immediate vet attention, puppy emergencies of all sorts, and even reactive pets. I develop a deep care for animals and prioritize learning each and every pets personality and needs. My professional work consists of freelance work, so in between I love to surround myself with animals and nature. A lot of the time my freelance work is done from my computer. To balance that out, I frequently go out into nature as part of my routine when time allows so for those who have pets who need outdoor time, I'm a great fit for you! As long as I have my cup of joe, and my laptop I'm a pretty easy going person! My approach to taking care and building a trusting relationship with your pet would focus on prioritizing their needs by learning their personalities. Some pets who have separation anxiety require a lot of affection, some who are high energy require a bit more exercise, and some who need mental stimulation just need exposure to different smells or visual stimulation! It just depends on what your pet needs.

Huda really seems to have a way with dogs, she gets them. She’s also a great communicator and kind person. Thank you Huda, we are so happy to have found you!”
“Peter was great! Once I met him, I had no worries leaving my babies with him. He was very responsive and sent updates and pictures. I highly recommend him, unless it will make him too busy to be available for my pups!????”
“Justine was a fantastic sitter. Our dog had a wonderful time with Justine and her family. We loved the frequent updates with pictures and videos, and Justine asked great questions ahead of her stay to ensure she knew our dog and her quirks. We will definitely book with Justine again and highly recommend her.”

“Joseph and Marikris came through on a last-minute reservation and provided exceptional levels of care for my special needs dog. My dog Daisy had been recently diagnosed with IVDD and I was prepared to cancel my trip, but Marikris assured me of her professional veterinary background and familiarity with the condition, and I felt confident trusting J&M with her care. Daisy looked so happy in all the photos they shared, and I feel truly blessed to have found such kind and attentive neighbors to care for my girl. Thank you so much Joseph & Marikris, you guys are amazing and I look forward to working together again 🙌”
About: I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare, caring for pets and supporting the people who love them. My background includes veterinary hospital leadership and many years with the San Francisco SPCA, and I'm also Fear Free Certified. I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, multi-pet households, medication routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My Fear Free training helps me recognize signs of fear, anxiety, and stress and adjust my approach so each pet can feel as safe and comfortable as possible. My veterinary background also means I pay attention to the little things. I'm accustomed to noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, energy, or overall wellbeing and communicating concerns promptly. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pets like they're my own, follow their routines closely, and make sure you get plenty of updates and photos while you're away. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I'm available weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, daytime, and evening visits. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I'll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines intact while you're away. With more than 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine and animal welfare and Fear Free certification, I'm very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, ages, and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I'll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll double-check doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details, keep your pet's environment clean, and provide detailed updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I know you're trusting me with two things that matter enormously—your pet and your home—and I don't take either responsibility lightly.
“Our Maisie(Airedale) stayed with Lisa and we are sure she had a great time! When we went to pick her up, we thought she’d be waiting at the front door. But nope, Lisa had to call her from whatever fun she was having in the back yard! Thank you Lisa for making our girl feel at home🐶”
“Kendra was wonderful with my pit/lab mix Apollo! Her yard is huge and great for dogs, Kendra was super sweet and accommodating with Apollo, and she sent nice updates on how he was doing :)”
“Nikki and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, LeBron, during his week-long stay in their home. They welcomed him like part of the family and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. They sent daily updates and photos, which truly made our day and gave us peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. He also had a great time playing with their older dog, Edie, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish, and you can tell they genuinely love the dogs they care for. They even went above and beyond by being flexible when our travel plans unexpectedly changed and were able to keep him for an extra day. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Nikki and her family to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and reliable sitters. We will absolutely book with them again.”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!”
“Colleen was the best! She was so sweet at the meet and greet and made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup, Goose, with her. Goose is an old girl now, and having to leave her is a little more stressful than it was when she was a younger pup, but Colleen sent so many pictures and it was CLEAR Goose didn’t miss me at all lol I am very thankful I have found Colleen to keep Goose company when I’m away. I know Goose already can’t wait for me to leave again haha 🫶”
“Virginie & Maxime are extremely professional, responsible and reliable dog sitters. They took very good care of Flynn during his overnight stay at their home giving him the attention he needed. They are also easy to reach, responsive to queries and sent us regular updates giving us peace of mind. We highly recommend Virginie & Maxime. And we will definitely book future stays with them.”
“Allen and his family did a great job taking care of my dog for our long vacation. They make drop-off easy and communicate well and send lots of fun pics and videos. She has stayed with Allen before, and is happy to see the family when I bring her again. I feel confident that she will be safe and have a good time there.”

About: Hi! I'm an experienced dog lover and foster who would love to welcome your pup into my home. I have had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for and engaging with many different types of dogs, personalities, and energy levels. I currently foster dogs through Copper's Dream Rescue, which has given me even more hands-on experience helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they are away from their families. I'm also dog CPR and First Aid certified, so your pup's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like one of my own—with plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup has a fun, safe, and loving stay! I’m a teacher, so I’m typically home by 3 PM on weekdays, and my husband works from home during the week. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Our dogs get three walks a day, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and downtime. If your dog enjoys dog parks, we also have a nearby dog park that is suitable for dogs who enjoy socializing and getting some extra exercise in the evening. On weekends, we love taking our dogs on dog-friendly adventures, so boarding with us can include lots of fun activities and new experiences when appropriate for your dog. Most importantly, we’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re staying with us I care for every dog like they are part of our family. Before their stay, I like to learn about their personality, routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. Because I foster dogs through Copper’s Dream Rescue, I’m comfortable working with many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m also dog CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always a priority. During their stay, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, playtime, and opportunities to relax. I’ll maintain their normal feeding and medication routines and follow any instructions you provide. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands
