“We had a great experience with Alice this past weekend! She were caring, communicative, and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. We received updates and photos throughout the stay, and our pup came back happy and well taken care of. Definitely recommend!”
“Matt was absolutely incredible! He stayed with our dog Nipsey for 3 days. Communication was outstanding, we got daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Bandit really enjoyed his stay with Ken once he came out of the bushes. Guess he was quite timid at first but then became the fun entertaining terrier that he is!! Will definitely have Ken take care of Bandit in th future.”
“Geri was the best! Don't be fooled by her stern-looking profile photo; she is anything but! Super stylish and kind, with a huge heart. Our Roxy was very happy with her stay with Geri, and her home is beautiful, and every detail was accounted for in making it super doggy friendly. Her lil pup is also very sweet and got along very well with our picky, not-usually-a-dog-person dog, Roxy, which says a lot. Anyway, look no further, we highly recommend choosing Geri for your doggy needs!!”
“Lynn provided a welcoming place to stay for my dog. My dog is a rescue dog who has very little social time and can be defensive. Lynn was very proactive and Lynne’s dog Lucy was too. My dog, Isla, was able to stay with Lynne for two days. Isla was a very happy camper. I will say that Lynne receives 5 stars from me. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a person knowledgeable about pets who has the skills to make it a really great experience for your pet.”
“Michael and his wife are very nice people and treat with dogs. My Gilda had a good time. I’m glad she had a safe and caring place to stay while my Partner and I were at an event.”
“Jackson took excellent care of our little dog for overnight boarding. He was available on short notice on a holiday weekend, and always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries. He has a great home and our dog looked comfortable and well cared for. He sent photo updates as well. All of this put our minds at ease. I later learned that Jackson also does grooming. I highly recommend Jackson and will be utilizing his services again when we are in the area and also I will refer him to my family and friends.”
“Mary is exceptional. She was able to accommodate us last minute when other options to board our doodle fell through. She was kind and gentle which helped to reduce anxiety for us an our pup. She graciously welcomed our dog into her home and gave us price of mind to enjoy the event we had planned.”
“kevin was very attentive and wanted to make sure he kept our pups’ routine the same. he was patient with our nervous pup. his pups were excellent with our dogs too. he is very responsive. would book with kevin again!”
“Araceli was an excellent host for my guy OTIS. She provided plenty of pictures and comments that made me feel comfortable and assured that he was getting excellent care. He seemed to enjoy interacting with her pups and came home a happy camper.”
“Brandon was wonderful with my dog during an overnight stay. He provided great communication and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear he’s both knowledgeable and kind—my dog was in excellent hands.”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“Judith was amazing. She was very good at communicating and sent me lots of pictures of my dog (even though my dog is camera shy). She was really flexible and worked with me when my schedule changed a bit. I will be picking to send Vexy to her house next time we need a Rover.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every pet in my care. As a dedicated dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and truly attentive watching over your fur baby. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I intentionally plan my week to make sure every pet in my care receives dependable attention, patience, and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also keep homes tidy and respect each client’s preferences and boundaries.
“I couldn't be happier with Larry's care of the kids and neither could the kids. My elderly Westie came home very perky after his stay. The lab had a new friend to play with and our little girl was treated like the princess she thinks she is. I highly recommend Larry to sit your furry friends.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for at least 10 years, mostly with having my own. I know they are a big part of our families and how much we love and care for them. I am great with playing and cuddling and walking and absolutely love it. I currently work from home and so I have plenty of time to schedule dog walks, care and dog sits according to what is needed. I have a large green belt, that is very private. It is not fenced, but I have the ability to take the dogs out as much as needed. I also live in a very nice area where I have many trails and beautiful areas to walk.
About: GROWING UP, MY MOM ONLY ALLOWED US TO HAVE CATS AS PETS. WHEN I WAS 20-YEARS OLD, I ADOPTED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM THE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS AN AKITA/GERMAN SHEPPARD MIX & WE HAD HIM FOR 17-YEARS UNTIL WE HAD TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP 😞. I ADOPTED 4 OTHER PUPPIES AFTER THAT. I EMJOY THE COMPANY OF PETS MORE THEN I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE LOL 😂. PETS ARE MORE LOYAL. I KNOW THAT WE ALL TREAT OUR PETS LIKE OUR CHILDREN, SO WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE WHEN IT COMES TO PET SITTING/BOARDING. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, SO MY SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY OPEN. ALSO, MY PROFESSION IS WORKING AS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SO I GET TO WORK REMOTELY. I CAN PROVIDE THE BEST CARE & ATTENTION ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. OUR PROPERTY HAS AN EAST & WEST LAWN AREA THAT IS FENCED IN & SAFE. WE HAVE 3 VERY FRIENDLY & LOVABLE DOGS (6-YEAR OLD WHITE GERMAN SHEPPARD, 13-YEAR OLD COTTON DETULIA & 6-MONTH OLD BOXER). SAFETY & TRUST IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PET SITTING/BOARDING. MAKING SURE THAT BOTH HUMAN & PET ARE HAPPY & GET ALONG.

“CJ tended to our two young cats for a few days while we were out of town. She handled everything we needed including plant watering. Amazingly CJ was able to take great photos of the cats even though they like to hide. We liked the notes she left after each visit. Next time we travel we hope to leave the cats with CJ again.”
“Angelica was AMAZING. So accommodating to my schedule, and was incredibly sweet with my 2 cats, one of which has special needs and behaviors, so it was very meaningful to me! Absolutely revommend 💕💕💕💕”
“Such a blessing to have Matthew watch over our fur babies! He was attentive, responsive and dedicated to keeping our babies safe and secure during our vacation. Daily updates and fast responses, even though we were halfway around the globe. He adapted to a problem while we were gone, and resolved it for us without complaint. If you’re thinking about him, don’t think twice, just book!”
“Mary did an outstanding job looking after my precious boy, Cornelius. The photos and comments she sent were adorable and gave me peace of mind. It was a delight to come home to a happy cat that had been loved, cared for, and pampered in my absence. I am lucky to have found Mary and would re-book her in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I had a golden retriever for 13 years that I lost last year. I love animals with all my heart and would love to spend as much time with all pets as a I can. I cared for and trained my dog his whole life, especially in his old age before his passing. I also have babysat for many years, and have experience with kids and pets alike as a result. I’m a college student at USC working a remote internship while I stay with my parents this summer. As a result, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and would love to work with you to create a working schedule! We have a fenced front/backyard with a pool. If you would like, I can keep your pets only in the front yard for playing if you would like them away from the pool. We have a large yard and a large house with plenty of room for your pet to play!
“Henny was very good with my beautiful orange Biscuit kitty cat!!! So glad my kitty got some love when I couldn't be there! Henny was responsive to my initial request, reliable with all visits, and came when I needed her to come for our meet n greet, even tho i had to leave short notice. I'm very grateful I found her and now I feel free to leave home when I need to. Thanks Henny.”
“Hannah and William did a great job! And they went far above and beyond by lugging in 5 good size boxes of soil (delivered to our doorstep) to our garage. We would definately use them again.”

“Sarah was amazing! She was a pro at giving my cat her medication and my cat, Iggy, loved her. Sarah’s notes and photos during her visits were so cute. It was a relief not to have to worry during my trip because I knew Iggy was in great hands. I’m booking Sarah every time I take a trip. I would highly recommend her!”
“McKenna went above and beyond to make sure my worried cat dad mind was at ease. She was extremely professional, showed up on time every day and followed my instructions diligently. I would highly recommend her services!”
“Clarissa was absolutely perfect- great communication, completely trustworthy, and extremely tidy! I will most definitely use her again if the need arises- thanks Clarissa!”
“Erika was the best! She has a very kind and gentle demeanor and my cats warmed up to her very quickly. She kept me updated with every visit and sent along lots of pictures. I’m happy to have found such a trustworthy person to care for my babies while I was gone. :)”
“I knew our cats were in good hands with Molly all week long! We were away for a trip and she was reliable and communicative the whole time, I didn't need to worry about a thing. Plus our normally reserved cat walked right up to her for a nose boop when they initially met--a terrific match!”
About: Cats thrive when they can stay in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and routines. I respect their space while offering gentle attention. • Ready to join in their playful antics • Cleanliness, updates, and fun photo shares • Available on holidays; meet-and-greet preferred I am a 69-year-old freelance professional. Respect, being reliable, and sincere affection for cats define how I approach every one of them I care for. I especially like capturing their elegance in photos to share with you.
“Kevin watched my cat for a week and did a superb job! The communication was constant, and he went above and beyond to ensure my cat was safe in the house on these hot summer days. He's a sitter I will definitely call again when I need services. Thanks Kevin !”
“Ashurina helped me out of a jam, was needing to head out of town last min. She came by the same day I called her to meet with myself and my 2 girls (fur baby cats). She checked in and updated me, sent pictures and had my 2 cats engaged during her drop in. Thank you so much.”
About: Growing up with multiple pets sparked my passion for animal care, and I’ve been officially caring for dogs for the past four years. Friends and family regularly entrust me with their pets, whether they’re away or unable to meet their pet’s needs. I have experience with dogs of various ages, from playful puppies as young as 3 months to senior dogs up to 12 years old. Although I work part-time, I prioritize pet care in my daily routine. I ensure consistent feeding, cleaning, and observation, and I maintain a flexible routine to consistently meet the animals’ needs throughout the week. I understand that pets can sometimes feel anxious when their owners are away, so I focus on making them feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I also like to gather information about each pet’s preferences, such as their favorite spots to relax and activities they enjoy, to help create a familiar and reassuring experience.
“Kyla watched our dogs and kitty for two and a half days, and she did an excellent job! I’m so thankful that I met her. She was punctual, responsible, and very respectful of our home. She also spent lots of time with our pets. My dogs are extra shy, but in a short time they came to love her. She has a calm and sweet presence that just fit my dogs and cat perfectly. She sent me plenty of updates and pictures, and I really appreciated that. I’d hire her again in a second. She’s great!”

“Angelica R. was an absolute lifesaver! She responded promptly to my early morning, last-minute request and provided clear, detailed directions to her home, including designated parking. She met me right on time and welcomed Maya with such love and care, as if she already knew her. Throughout the stay, Angelica sent pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing Maya was safe and happy. Her rates are reasonable, and her warm, positive vibe made the experience even better. I wouldn’t think twice about trusting her again when I’m in town! Highly recommend!”

“Geraldine was very flexible and willing to take our beagle on a short notice. Geraldine was booked 24 hrs in advance to watch Honey while my husband & I went to a spa. We booked Geraldine for another successful evening of dog sitting in her home during our vacation in Palm Springs. Geraldine was a good match for dog sitting our chill 8 1/2 year old beagle. (We tipped her in cash, not using the Rover app).”
“My FrenchE loved staying with Corrine! We had a last minute change to plans and did not have a place for our little dog for the day. I was so happy Corrine was available.

I will definatley use Corrine again!”
“This was the first time booking with Anthony. He responded to our request in a timely manner and was agreeable to take our dog on Thanksgiving day (that in itself was great).

The drop off, stay, and pickup were easy. We will definitely use Anthony again. Thanks for taking good care of our boy!”
“Jennifer was an amazing dog sitter for Coco. Jennifer’s dog, Stella, was playful, and the two dogs got along wonderfully. It was great knowing Coco had a fun companion to play with.

I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

Reliable, kind, communicative, and genuinely amazing at what she does . We are so grateful and will be booking Claire again in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Henny. I have been playing and caring for cats and dogs for the past 25 years, but I gained my patience, compassion, and deep love for pets when I began volunteering at the animal shelter. I became more comfortable of all breeds and sizes. This continues on with looking after family friends’ pets which I really enjoyed. I currently have a mixed terrier named Lucy. She is estimated to be 13 years young. I will care for your fur-baby like my own. I am a yoga teacher with varying work hours but I’m never out of the house for more than couple of hours. I am available for overnight persisting at your home to minimize pet stress and happy to drop in for visit. I have Big fenced backyard with plenty of space to sniff around and be free. I often hang around in my backyard with the pups to enjoy the fresh air or some sun rays.
“David is the best! He stepped in for dog walking on short notice, learned all of my dogs favorite spots, and sent really adorable photos. I’ll definitely call him in the future! Obie gives him 4 paws up - big smiles in photos!”
About: With over 10 years of experience owning and operating a grooming and boarding facility in Houston, Texas, I bring professional, hands-on expertise to every dog I care for. As a devoted dog owner myself (four fur-kids and counting), I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs—including administering medication, handling anxious or difficult dogs, and, of course, managing the occasional mess with patience and care. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and attentive, but most importantly, I genuinely love dogs—and they know it. When you’re done booking, be sure to tell your dog I said hi. I’m semi-retired, which means I have the flexibility to provide reliable, around-the-clock care for your pets. Your dog won’t be squeezed into a schedule—they’ll have consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. As a longtime dog owner myself—sharing my home with an Olde English Sheepdog, Border Collie, Shih Tzu, and Miniature Poodle—I’m experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and genuine affection. In my home, your rules. I'm fine sleeping with dogs. I'll feed and play on your established schedule. I'll order in if the dogs can't be left alone.
About: I have two fur babies of my own; my tiny chihuahua and my sweet feline boy, so I truly understand how special and high‑maintenance pets can be. I know how much love, attention, and patience they need, and I’m always happy to provide that same level of care for yours. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, a calm presence, or someone who understands their unique personality, I’m here to help. I treat every animal with kindness and respect, just like I do with my own. I am available all weekdays on the evenings(Weekends when needed). I’m interested in part time, full time and temporary, any accommodations are possible, please ask your questions!! I would prefer pet sitting in their homes, I wouldn’t want them to feel homesick but any accommodations are possible just ask your questions no problem!
“Erika was good overall. She appeared to have read my profile after booking, which included pertinent information about my dog, and asked questions upon arrival to personalize service. There are no issues or complaints on my end. My dog arrived back home content and tired-the intended goal.”
“Kyla has been great with our two dogs for walks during the week while we are at work. She is friendly and the dogs love her. She always gives notice if she has to change the schedule and has been understanding when we have a change.”
About: My daughter Ary and I run this business together. We own a house in a prime location 1 mile from the airport. We are both huge animal lovers! Dogs are amazing. Every single dog has their own little unique personality and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love. My daughter and I run this business together and one of us is always home so your pet will get plenty of attention and never left on their own, I have a fenced yard that is very secure and I never leave the dogs out there on their own. Animals have the run of the house, & they are allowed on all furniture.
About: I've had dogs all my life, currently have a 3 year old Husky mix (50lbs), who LOVES other dogs. I've successfully crate trained pups, although my current set-up with Goose, our Husky, he has a built in dog home inside our condo, along with a doggy door to our patio, which has alleviated any need for a crate. I work from home, part-time marketing job, allowing me to watch dogs, take them on walks, throughout the day. Outside of taking and picking up my daughter from school, and normal errands around town, I'm at home throughout the week and weekends. Goose, our 3 year old Husky, has a large enclosure I built underneath the stairs that is secured with a dutch door with ample room for him to walk around. My condo (1,600 square ft) has an fully enclosed outdoor patio with both a rock area and fake grass pee pad, with a doggy door which is always open, for Goose (and your pup) to freely go back and forth. My condo community itself is extremely dog friendly with nicely manicured walkways, along with a golf course that wraps around the complex - ideal for taking pups on walks.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for three high-maintenance, large-breed dogs—including walking, bathing, feeding, and handling their unique needs. I understand how much care and patience big dogs require, and I’m confident in managing strong, energetic pups with love and consistency. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the week and availability on weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and have time to play, walk, and care for them just like I do with my own dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I treat them like family. I follow any instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and special needs. I make sure pets feel safe and loved by keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and respecting their space. I also keep the home clean and tidy, just as I would want someone to do in mine.
About: I grew up in a home that adopted cats & dogs and was the prime caregiver since animal's lives and happiness are close my heart. I believe in SPOILING them, not giving them all of the treats, but in giving them tons of attention and activity. Zonking them out at night so they have the best night's sleep. I love all dogs, tiny to giants and long-haired too. I laugh at zoomies. My animal voice disarms them quickly so even the most nervous cats or dogs warm up to me in time. I respect boundaries and listen/watch body language so that neither of us are uncomfortable. I love to go on walks with them, letting them smell every flower along the way. I love playing tug of war or chasing each other or throwing a ball for hours. They are such special little beings and deserve the best care. With me, they would be loved on, scratched, belly rubbed, or brushed to their delight! I work from home and set my schedule. So, I would be available to watch your furbabies during the times that you need, overnights, or just daily drop-bys. All I need is wifi and if it's the summer, AC. I am happy to bring any cat-friendly dogs into my home. Both of my cats LOVE dogs. But your furbabies would have to have up-to-date vaccinations to do so. I'm happy to have them here. If they like walks, I go on one daily for about an hour. If I need to, I can split that walk in two, no worries. Spending time with them at a dog park. Throwing the ball or playing outside with their favorite toy is also something that I would enjoy doing. I am happy to find what each furbaby needs and to meet it. I love getting to know animals and their specific qualities/likes/dislikes and meeting their needs and having fun. The whole idea to me is that if their humans are out of town. having fun, they should have an equal amount of fun too!
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I dog-sat a Goldendoodle for two weeks, providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Additionally, I cat-sat three cats in Costa Rica, ensuring they were well-fed, comfortable, and received plenty of attention. These experiences have helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and a calm, caring approach to pet care. I have open availability for pet sitting and related responsibilities, with the exception of one college class. My schedule is flexible, and I'm able to accommodate most timeframes, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I prioritize each pet’s safety and well-being at all times. I follow all instructions closely, keep a close eye on pets during walks, and make sure doors, gates, and any hazardous areas are properly secured. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and attentive experience for every pet in my care.

“Christopher helped us out during our wedding day at The Ace hotel and went above and beyond! He walked and entertained our dog, Reggie, for over an hour while we got dressed for the wedding. As a rescue, Reggie can be a bit anxious around new people, but Chris was patient and calm. He came for a meet and greet before the day and got to know us and Reggie. On the day, he was prompt, communicative, and flexible. I was running late and Chris waited patiently for me to come grab Reggie. Reggie had such a great time with Christopher and we will definitely be booking again if we need a walker/sitter in Palm Springs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for at least 10 years, mostly with having my own. I know they are a big part of our families and how much we love and care for them. I am great with playing and cuddling and walking and absolutely love it. I currently work from home and so I have plenty of time to schedule dog walks, care and dog sits according to what is needed. I have a large green belt, that is very private. It is not fenced, but I have the ability to take the dogs out as much as needed. I also live in a very nice area where I have many trails and beautiful areas to walk.

“We had a great experience with Alice this past weekend! She were caring, communicative, and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. We received updates and photos throughout the stay, and our pup came back happy and well taken care of. Definitely recommend!”
“Michael and his wife are very nice people and treat with dogs. My Gilda had a good time. I’m glad she had a safe and caring place to stay while my Partner and I were at an event.”
“Jackson took excellent care of our little dog for overnight boarding. He was available on short notice on a holiday weekend, and always responded quickly to my questions and inquiries. He has a great home and our dog looked comfortable and well cared for. He sent photo updates as well. All of this put our minds at ease. I later learned that Jackson also does grooming. I highly recommend Jackson and will be utilizing his services again when we are in the area and also I will refer him to my family and friends.”
“Mary is exceptional. She was able to accommodate us last minute when other options to board our doodle fell through. She was kind and gentle which helped to reduce anxiety for us an our pup. She graciously welcomed our dog into her home and gave us price of mind to enjoy the event we had planned.”
“kevin was very attentive and wanted to make sure he kept our pups’ routine the same. he was patient with our nervous pup. his pups were excellent with our dogs too. he is very responsive. would book with kevin again!”
“Brandon was wonderful with my dog during an overnight stay. He provided great communication and regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. It’s clear he’s both knowledgeable and kind—my dog was in excellent hands.”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“Judith was amazing. She was very good at communicating and sent me lots of pictures of my dog (even though my dog is camera shy). She was really flexible and worked with me when my schedule changed a bit. I will be picking to send Vexy to her house next time we need a Rover.”
“I couldn't be happier with Larry's care of the kids and neither could the kids. My elderly Westie came home very perky after his stay. The lab had a new friend to play with and our little girl was treated like the princess she thinks she is. I highly recommend Larry to sit your furry friends.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for at least 10 years, mostly with having my own. I know they are a big part of our families and how much we love and care for them. I am great with playing and cuddling and walking and absolutely love it. I currently work from home and so I have plenty of time to schedule dog walks, care and dog sits according to what is needed. I have a large green belt, that is very private. It is not fenced, but I have the ability to take the dogs out as much as needed. I also live in a very nice area where I have many trails and beautiful areas to walk.
About: GROWING UP, MY MOM ONLY ALLOWED US TO HAVE CATS AS PETS. WHEN I WAS 20-YEARS OLD, I ADOPTED MY FIRST PUPPY FROM THE LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK ANIMAL SHELTER. HE WAS AN AKITA/GERMAN SHEPPARD MIX & WE HAD HIM FOR 17-YEARS UNTIL WE HAD TO PUT HIM TO SLEEP 😞. I ADOPTED 4 OTHER PUPPIES AFTER THAT. I EMJOY THE COMPANY OF PETS MORE THEN I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE LOL 😂. PETS ARE MORE LOYAL. I KNOW THAT WE ALL TREAT OUR PETS LIKE OUR CHILDREN, SO WE SHOULD SPARE NO EXPENSE WHEN IT COMES TO PET SITTING/BOARDING. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, SO MY SCHEDULE IS COMPLETELY OPEN. ALSO, MY PROFESSION IS WORKING AS EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SO I GET TO WORK REMOTELY. I CAN PROVIDE THE BEST CARE & ATTENTION ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE. OUR PROPERTY HAS AN EAST & WEST LAWN AREA THAT IS FENCED IN & SAFE. WE HAVE 3 VERY FRIENDLY & LOVABLE DOGS (6-YEAR OLD WHITE GERMAN SHEPPARD, 13-YEAR OLD COTTON DETULIA & 6-MONTH OLD BOXER). SAFETY & TRUST IS ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF PET SITTING/BOARDING. MAKING SURE THAT BOTH HUMAN & PET ARE HAPPY & GET ALONG.
“Bo was awesome. My pups were well taken care of. Bo was responsive and helpful and I appreciate how understanding he was with this last minute booking. I will definitely use him again.”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“Maggie was great with our boy Viking. He happily went with her when I dropped him off and was sitting happily with her when I pulled up to pick him up. So glad they matched well! Thanks again, Maggie!!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Eric. He shared photos showing just how much fun Riley was having during his sleepover. We look forward to future visits. Eric, thank you for taking such good care of our excitable boy.”
“We had such a great experience with Brandon and Billy! It was my first time using Rover and they made the process super easy and reassuring. We got updates often and very quickly. I know my dog had a blast too and she can’t wait to go back!”
About: I have two fur babies of my own; my tiny chihuahua and my sweet feline boy, so I truly understand how special and high‑maintenance pets can be. I know how much love, attention, and patience they need, and I’m always happy to provide that same level of care for yours. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, a calm presence, or someone who understands their unique personality, I’m here to help. I treat every animal with kindness and respect, just like I do with my own. I am available all weekdays on the evenings(Weekends when needed). I’m interested in part time, full time and temporary, any accommodations are possible, please ask your questions!! I would prefer pet sitting in their homes, I wouldn’t want them to feel homesick but any accommodations are possible just ask your questions no problem!
“Angelica was a great sitter. She played with my dog, took her on walks and made sure she felt comfortable at night. She sent photos and updates of Zena's day. I felt very blessed to have her as a sitter. I highly recommend her to other pet owners.”
