“Lori is my favorite sitter! She is thoughtful, trustworthy, and overall takes great care of my dogs. She was also communicative about my dogs behavior while they were with her, and she was very patient with one of my dogs misbehaving a little. I can rest easy whenever my dogs are with her!”
“Cristina and her family are the best! We have done day care but now have also left our lil man with her for 3 nights while we were out of town. Today we sat talked and our baby was happy and excited to see us and also so happy with where he stayed. She is the only one for our family!!”
“Jessica watched our pup for a week and sent us photo updates! We had a meet and greet for her dog to meet mine and overall went well, she has a nice big yard that our dog enjoys sunbathing in. Thanks for giving our pup a nice comfy place to stay while we were away!”
“I can't thank Melanie enough for taking such wonderful care of Gunny while I was out of town! From her swift response to my initial inquiry to her warm welcome when we arrived, the entire experience was fantastic. Melanie made Gunny feel right at home, and I truly appreciated the daily updates she sent - they gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Her home provided a clean, safe environment where Gunny could relax and enjoy himself. It was so comforting to see how well Gunny got along with Melanie's dog! Always nice to see him make new friends and enjoy some canine companionship during his stay. It was such a pleasant surprise to discover how much Melanie and I have in common! Those connections made me feel even more comfortable leaving Gunny in her care. I would absolutely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for pet care, and I'll definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Melanie, for going above and beyond to make our experience so positive!”
“Our senior dog Lexi had a great few days with Agueda and her family! We appreciated the daily updates and will definitely book with Agueda again next time we're out of town. Thank you!”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
About: I’ve cared for many pets over the years for family and friends, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very attentive and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I follow routines closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and companionship. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they’re happy, clean, and cared for. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so pet sitting fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to be available most times of the day, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Since my schedule isn’t packed, I can focus on making sure each pet is comfortable, safe, and well taken care of while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets at home, I make sure they get plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I take them on at least two or three walks during the day and make sure they get lots of playtime so they stay active and happy. I also keep their space clean, make sure feeding schedules are followed, and give them plenty of attention so they feel comfortable. At night I make sure they have a safe, comfortable place to sleep and that they’re settled in for the night. In the morning I repeat the routine by checking their food and water, taking them out for a walk, and making sure they start the day happy and well cared for.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely the Best Sitter for My Senior Dog I couldn’t have found anyone better to care for my senior dog, Camilo. From the very first moment, she made him feel safe and earned his trust instantly. She went above and beyond my expectations in every possible way, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly kind. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. She kept me updated with messages, photos, and details that gave me complete peace of mind. Most importantly, she really made the effort to make Camilo feel at home, comfortable, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and treats your pet like family, look no further. I’m truly grateful for her care and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Clara is a kind and accommodating cat sitter. She sent pictures of Kal interacting with her dog that makes Kal peacefully, ,comfortable and happy finding companion with her dog. Kal cried when my son picked him up,.. Kal wants to stay with his new friend dog. Thank you Ms Clara will see you again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“Monique was such a good sitter for our dog. She updated us daily and sent lots of pictures! She took really good care of our dog who has bad anxiety. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Stacy is amazing. She took such good care of Migo and treated him as if he were her own while I was away. She is kind, professional, and a great communicator. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.”
“Pilar was wonderful! She kept me updated when I asked about my dogs and she has a heart of gold! When I picked my dogs up they were happy! Pilar has a heart of gold! Highly recommend her!”
“Lisa and Logan took care of my dog, Driver like he was their own. Plenty of pictures and updates and they are just wonderful caring people. I am thrilled to have found them and would love to have them sit for us again.”
“Diego was Absolutely amazing! He watched my dog for two days and did such a great job. He was responsible, attentive, and took wonderful care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. For being so young, I was incredibly impressed with how dependable and caring he was. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got home. I would absolutely trust him to watch my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️”

“Belinda watched my cat, Bella, for about 3 weeks and she did fantastic! Bella warmed up to her right away. Belinda was great about sending photos and making sure Bella’s food, water, and litter were taken care of. It made me feel much better knowing that there was such a caring person looking after my girl. I’d be happy to book her again.”
“Lynne is my go-to sitter. She takes great care of my kitty and provides her with plenty of love. It is so nice to go away knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I’m sad that I’m leaving the area and hope I find someone half as good to watch my kitty in the future! I highly recommend Lynne, you will not be disappointed.”
“Clara was excellent! She responded to a last minute request of mine and accepted right away. Clara sent updates throughout the day and enjoyed taking care of our 2 cats. Our cats seemed to fit right at home with Clara. We will absolutely book her for future visits and highly recommend her 🙌🏼”
“the most understanding + patient dog sitter we’ve ever encountered. she’s very careful + treats our puppy as though he belongs to her. not only does she go above + beyond with her service, but also goes above + beyond with her attention to detail when it comes to her reports while he’s under her care.”
“My Budgies (Bruce and Ru) just love visits from Marie when I’m away from home. I’m so happy that she’s willing to take the time to “hang out” with them and she always updates me with videos and pics. She’s the best and Bruce and Ru totally agree!”
“Stacey was great with our kitty! Very informative on her visits and tons of pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving her to check in on our cat. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I provide attentive, loving cat care and understand that every cat has their own unique personality and boundaries. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers their personal space, I take time to earn their trust and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions, including administering medications and supporting recovery after illness or surgery. I also keep litter boxes clean, fresh water available, and make sure your cat gets the care, patience, and respect they deserve.
“My first time hiring a rover for my kitty and Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure my cat Dixie was comfortable and safe. Dixie had an upset stomach over the weekend and Elizabeth even stayed extra time to make sure everything was okay when she threw up. Will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again! :)”
About: Although I didn’t grow up with cats, as an adult I’ve had two cats for the past 10 years. I understand and respect the different temperaments your cat may have and look forward to meeting your furry family member!
About: Cats have held a special place in my heart for the past 12 years, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. My wife and I recently said goodbye to our beloved senior cat after many wonderful years together. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, consistency, compassion, and attentive care, especially as pets grow older. In addition to caring for our own cat, we’ve welcomed foster cats into our home for weeks at a time, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they waited for their forever families. I’ve also cared for the cats of family and friends, making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime if they want it, and plenty of affection on their own terms. If medication is part of your cat’s routine, I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll be your cat’s primary caregiver and will provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your feline family member is doing. My wife is also a wonderful animal lover who enjoys giving cats extra affection and attention, creating a warm and welcoming home environment. If your cat prefers a quieter setting, we have a secure, private room where they can relax and have their own space away from our beagles. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or simply enjoys a peaceful nap, we’ll do everything we can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
About: I’ve taken care of my cat Yuki for almost 3 years now! I’ve had him since he was a kitten and have loved him more each day! I understand the importance of patience and respecting boundaries when it comes to cats, so I’ll make sure to adapt to your cat’s style! I’ve looked after my brother’s cat since she was a kitten as well, and have taken care of other multiple feline friends over the years. Whether it’s offering them a snack, playtime, a snuggle, or their space, I’m here to help!

About: I take dogs to the park twice a day so they can get exercise, have fun outside, and socialize with other pups. I specialize in small to medium-sized dogs. I’ll send you regular photo updates so you can see how your pet’s doing. I’m home most of the time, so your dog will have lots of company and won’t be left alone. Pet care is a natural part of my day—I plan my schedule around their needs, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love throughout the day. No matter where I’m caring for your pet—my home or yours—I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I keep things clean, stick to their routine, and give them plenty of love and attention. You’ll also get updates and cute photos so you know they’re doing great!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have always had dogs around me. When I was a teen, I started dog sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. This is something my dad and I would do together. As an adult, I am my friends’ and family’s go to person when it comes to help them with their pets. They will always call me when they go on vacations and need help. I am looking forward to expand my network of people I can help 🙂. Bonus is my own sweet little lady, Olive, who loves all dogs! She would be so happy to have new friends! I work from home part time. I am always home, and only go in and out to get my son from school. I walk my dog four times per day. Two of these four times per day are longer walks in the neighborhood or to the park. I keep dogs on the leash at all time when we are outside. I have a fenced backyard where they can be outside and lay in the sun, and can’t escape. They also have access to water and food as required by the owner. My dog Olive is super friendly, and loves being around other dogs. She is around 15 lbs. I have a cat who is friendly but does not want to do much with other dogs. He mostly stays away.
About: Pets have always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve spent years caring for the dogs of family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine and needs. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with Dalmatians and have spent the past eight years raising two friendly, goofy, and well-socialized rescue beagles with my wife. Together we have also fostered rescue dogs for weeks at a time until they found their forever home. As your sitter, I will be your dog’s primary caregiver. I’ll personally handle walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, energy level, and personality, and I’ll make every effort to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. My wife is also a tremendous animal lover who enjoys spending time with every pet she meets, so your dog will benefit from being in a home with two people who genuinely love animals. While I’ll be responsible for all of your pet’s care, they’ll also receive extra affection and companionship throughout their stay. Our home includes a fully fenced backyard patio, and we live in a safe neighborhood with plenty of green space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and respect that we’d want for our own. I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule, typically on East Coast business hours. Most weekdays, I’m available beginning around 2:00 PM for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, potty breaks, and other pet care needs. On days with a lighter meeting schedule, I’m often able to stop by earlier in the day for a walk or visit before returning to work. I occasionally work onsite once a week, but I typically leave the office between 2:00 and 2:30 PM, allowing me to be available for afternoon and evening care. For boarding and in-home pet sitting, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I will be your pet’s primary caregiver, and because my wife works full-time from home, there is almost always someone at our home to provide companionship, supervision, and peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Before every booking, I’ll take the time to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that’s as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or ours, I’ll be your pet’s primary caregiver. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, and lots of affection and attention. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Our home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly. We have a securely fenced backyard patio and two friendly, well-socialized beagles who enjoy the company of other dogs. For cats or pets that prefer a quieter environment, we also have a secure private room where they can relax in their own space away from our dogs if needed. I understand that every pet is unique. Some love adventure and play, while others simply want a calm environment and a predictable routine. I’ll always respect your pet’s individual personality and comfort level and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention that I give my own animals. For the health and safety of all pets in our home, I ask that visiting dogs and cats be up to date on their vaccinations and flea/tick prevention.
About: I've loved and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I'm naturally curious about them and believe there is no such thing as a bad dog. I am working toward becoming a canine trainer and am currently under apprenticeship. Caring for dogs is very rewarding for me and a true passion of mine. My friends and family have sought me out for advice and to care for their pets and I would love the opportunity to care for yours as well. I have a flexible work schedule and am available for boarding 7 nights per week and for sitting every day. I can also pick up and drop off for an additional fee. I have a large fenced back yard (about 1/8 of an acre), with mixed concrete, dirt with shade. Your pup will be able to play inside and out, and will find it hard not to get along with my 8 year old Labradoodle, Maui.

I’m home most of the time and can assure your pet will have a playful and enjoyable stay in my home. Look forward to meeting your fur baby! I guarantee your pet will be walked and played with as directed and most importantly given all the attention it deserves. Look forward to connecting.
About: I have had pets for 17 years and so far I have 2 cats and 5 very friendly dogs. I know every behavior and jests at them or if they feel sick I am at home full time. The only time I go out is to go to the market and the occasional medical appointment. The rest of the time I will be caring for and raising your little loved one. My house has a secure fence, a yard to run around in. They will have fun meeting new friends. When they get tired they will sleep in a bed or blanket if they want.
“Melinda is the best!! I’ve taken my pug to her 3 times in the last two weeks and my pug always has a blast. Melinda does so many fun and creative things with the dogs she cares for. My pug is a ball of energy and he comes home really tired when I pick him up (which means he had a lot of fun). Melinda is very good with all types of dogs and it’s very evident that she has a passion for what she does. Highly recommend Melinda!”

About: Although I have no official skills and training...yet, but I grew up caring for animals. For 18 years I lived on a small farm in Michigan where we raised chickens, rabbits, goats, alpacas, dogs, and cats. These animals were my beloved pets and would get shown at the county fair every summer. Since moving away I have accumulated three cats of my own. As I continue to figure things out and gain experience I can promise that all pets under my care will be well cared for, loved, and that all owners will receive top notch communication. I have just separated from the Navy and am unable to get another job due to some traveling I have planned over the next couple months. I am free all day pretty much any day! I do not offer sitting or boarding in my home due to my cats not appreciating outsiders, but I am more than happy to go to your house and do whatever is needed!
About: I offer reliable, loving dog care with plenty of attention, playtime, and patience. I treat every dog like family and adapt to their energy level, routine, and personality so they feel safe and happy in my care. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, and special care needs. Whether your dog loves active play or just wants companionship and reassurance, I make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and given lots of affection while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule while working on building my own entrepreneurial business. That flexibility allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet and adapt to their routines, whether that means visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I’ve been pet sitting for years for family, friends, and acquaintances, and it’s always been one of my favorite side gigs because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their personalities. Since it’s something I’ve done and loved for a long time, I decided to start offering my services to more people in my local community. At this time, I’m only able to offer care in my client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and adapt to their individual needs. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines, and I always make sure fresh water is available. I also provide playtime, affection, and companionship based on what each pet is comfortable with, whether they want lots of cuddles or a little extra personal space. I pay close attention to their behavior and physical condition so I can quickly notice if something seems off, helping ensure they stay safe, healthy, and happy while you’re away.
“This was my first time to use Rover and from the very beginning I was so happy with Priscilla and Mike. Fiona took to Mike right away and seemed to want to be his bestie! I've now found my dog sitter for any future trips or needs. Both are such nice people and help rescue dogs in need. I wish them success and will definitely use them again.”
About: Welcome to my page! I have taken care of pets belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a very pleasant experience to love on the pets and see them excited and relaxed when I'm with them. Besides taking care of their basic needs, I'll make sure they get all the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 I'm currently a SAHM looking to have some income while enjoying loving on pets. I will use the time I have available while my daughter is in school and/or extra curricular activities. I would like to meet the pets (and the owners) for the first time before booking, to ensure it's a good fit for all, and there's trust between the humans and the fur babies.
“Elizabeth was a rock star with my dog. She jumped in on short notice and was kind, responsible, and punctual. She took and sent photos through the app each time showing the walk and feeding after. She clearly had experience handling dogs coming in and I will gladly rely on her again in the future.”
“Citlalic has been amazing. She works really well with my reactive dog, responds to my messages promptly, follows all directions and is flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend her 👍”
“She shows up mins early which is beyond on time . That is going beyond and above and I really love that. She read the notes before coming and gave my puppy fresh water and food . She’s amazing”

I’m home most of the time and can assure your pet will have a playful and enjoyable stay in my home. Look forward to meeting your fur baby!

About: I’ve lived and cared for animals since I was young. My dad is a veterinarian, so I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life! I had my dog for 15 beautiful years and went through all the ups and downs of a dog parent. I administered her medication and provided as many accommodations and love she needed. Currently, I have one medium haired cat who is shy but incredibly sweet and friendly. I’ve had him since he was a kitten and has adjusted to our own little routine. I know how difficult it can be to leave a furry friend behind, so I’m here to relieve any stress you may have and provide as much comfort and care to your loved one! I currently work part-time so I have a flexible schedule. I’m a grad student, so if I’m not at work or class, I’m usually home hanging out with my cat :) My cat is very low maintenance and is used to dogs but if you prefer for him to be separated from your furry friend I can definitely make sure they are in different rooms! My apartment is pet friendly and has a grass area right upfront as well as a fenced yard they can go out to!
About: I’m a longtime pet owner and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Having cared for my own dogs and cats over the years, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time in childcare, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my work schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable and happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent and comfortable. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, while making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m respectful of your home, dependable, and will keep you updated so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been a dog walker and pet sitter for some friends and clients over the years, and I love dogs! But don’t have one of my own so I have decided to go pro! Hehe. I love walking and hiking if your dog needs exercise, plus I just enjoy giving snuggles and scratches. Happy to reinforce any training you’re doing with your pups- or just come over and play with them. I’m available for dog walks every day before 11:30 and cat/dog/etc sitting can be fit into my schedule as needed, am/pm since I am self employed. Im a massage therapist & work in mission valley, so it’s very central and I can block time as needed to go visit and care for your pets or walk your dogs. My 17 year old Bengalish-tabby is in/out cat- and I have a big fenced in yard. I feed my animals twice a day and give lots of verbal affirmation and physical affection, if they like cuddles we’re gonna be friends.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years, I currently have a six-year-old Yorkie. I’ve dogs sat for many friends and family throughout the years as well. I’ll provide you and your fur-baby a “no fuss” service.0 I work from home, so your pet will get plenty of companionship and attention.Your dog will enjoy morning and evening walks and lazy afternoons in my fenced backyard. I I rarely leave for more than a couple hours in the evening, a few times a week. However, the care for your pet will be my top priority. I live on a quiet private street with a large fenced backyard, giving your pet plenty of space to play and for potty breaks when needed. Inside the home, pets are treated like family with plenty of spaces to nap, as well as cuddling on the bed or the couch. I have a 6yo male, neutered Yorkie who loves dogs of all ages and sizes. If your pet requires personal space, that can easily be arranged! I will follow your pets standard schedule and routine for feeding, playtime, and walks to make the experience smooth.

“Lori is my favorite sitter! She is thoughtful, trustworthy, and overall takes great care of my dogs. She was also communicative about my dogs behavior while they were with her, and she was very patient with one of my dogs misbehaving a little. I can rest easy whenever my dogs are with her!”
“Jessica watched our pup for a week and sent us photo updates! We had a meet and greet for her dog to meet mine and overall went well, she has a nice big yard that our dog enjoys sunbathing in. Thanks for giving our pup a nice comfy place to stay while we were away!”
“I can't thank Melanie enough for taking such wonderful care of Gunny while I was out of town! From her swift response to my initial inquiry to her warm welcome when we arrived, the entire experience was fantastic. Melanie made Gunny feel right at home, and I truly appreciated the daily updates she sent - they gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Her home provided a clean, safe environment where Gunny could relax and enjoy himself. It was so comforting to see how well Gunny got along with Melanie's dog! Always nice to see him make new friends and enjoy some canine companionship during his stay. It was such a pleasant surprise to discover how much Melanie and I have in common! Those connections made me feel even more comfortable leaving Gunny in her care. I would absolutely recommend Melanie to anyone looking for pet care, and I'll definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Melanie, for going above and beyond to make our experience so positive!”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
About: I’ve cared for many pets over the years for family and friends, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very attentive and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I follow routines closely, whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and companionship. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they’re happy, clean, and cared for. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so pet sitting fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to be available most times of the day, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Since my schedule isn’t packed, I can focus on making sure each pet is comfortable, safe, and well taken care of while their owners are away. When I’m caring for pets at home, I make sure they get plenty of food, fresh water, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I take them on at least two or three walks during the day and make sure they get lots of playtime so they stay active and happy. I also keep their space clean, make sure feeding schedules are followed, and give them plenty of attention so they feel comfortable. At night I make sure they have a safe, comfortable place to sleep and that they’re settled in for the night. In the morning I repeat the routine by checking their food and water, taking them out for a walk, and making sure they start the day happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was young. Ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed walking my family, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I have experience with dogs of all ages and many different breeds I am available to walk, board, or visit your dog all days of the week. I prefer to be notified at least a day in advance so I can properly schedule and prepare to care for your dog. I have a large backyard with clear space for the dogs to around and play. There is open space in the living room for dogs to relax, with room for dog beds or anything else they arrive with. This space is gated off from the rest of the house for safety. There’s enough room to separate the dogs from one another if they need space.
“Monique was such a good sitter for our dog. She updated us daily and sent lots of pictures! She took really good care of our dog who has bad anxiety. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Stacy is amazing. She took such good care of Migo and treated him as if he were her own while I was away. She is kind, professional, and a great communicator. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Overall, we had a good experience. They were able to accommodate our dog on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Erlinda was quick to respond, her daughter was easy to work with, and our dog was well taken care of. We’re grateful they were able to help us out last minute and would consider using them again.”
“Diego was Absolutely amazing! He watched my dog for two days and did such a great job. He was responsible, attentive, and took wonderful care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. For being so young, I was incredibly impressed with how dependable and caring he was. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got home. I would absolutely trust him to watch my dog again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Absolutely pleased with Kimberly and her watching my boys. She made me feel at ease that they were in good hands and they were. She kept, me informed and provided regular updates and pictures of Samsom and Thor.. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to leave their pets.”
“20/10!! Savannah took amazing care of our pups!! Especially when it came to giving my one pup her eyedrops daily. She took the best photos and I could tell the pups had a great time! 100% recommend and would have our pups stay with her again!”
“We have found our fur baby's home away from home!!! After various dog boarding, pet resorts, and other rover sitters we found the prefect match for our German Shepard. Marissa and her son watched after Dexter while we went on a long weekend trip. They were perfect and understood his needs of having company with him at all times. They only watched over our dog and didn't take additional dog owners, which was a requirement for us. Their house is prefect with plenty of room for Dexter to be inside and outside. We met before the scheduled date to meet her dogs and pets and everyone got along. The communication was great also. Marissa sent pictures of Dexter daily and let us know how he was doing at all times. We drive 1 hour to get to her home, but I don't mind the drive as long as Dexter's in good hands. It was tough to find a good match, so we're very happy Dexter has a great home to stay at when we need to go out of town.”
“Holger & Marcela are wonderful people! They love dogs SO much. Ziggy runs into their house to see them when he arrives-that is heartwarming to see when we are going away! Thank you for being the best pet sitters.”
“Trent and his wife were the best caretakers of my little Benny. They took him for plenty of walks, played with him, and overall made him feel comfortable while in their care. I highly recommend them!”
“if you were looking for someone to care for your furry, loved one and keep you posted on how they’re doing. Siera is the best . she took time to really get to know Enzo, and give him the special attention he needed. I would use her and recommend her to anybody who loves their pet. she will care for him and keep your mind at ease.”
