“Maria is such a caring and kind person. Always updating me regarding the health and safety of my puppy. She treated Akira as her family and made sure she was comfortable. She respected my instructions and politely asked if she can help with training or other activities. I would definitely recommend her and most definitely rebook in the future.”
“Thank you for taking care of Milo. It was a last minute booking and I was glad Wen was available to watch Milo again. When our return flight was delayed she took care of Milo and reassured me before we got back. Responsive and lots of updates with pictures of our dog 🐶👌🏻📸”
“Allison was wonderful! Franklin absolutely loved his stay with her and enjoyed playing with Moose. We were so happy to have constant updates and Franklin came back tired and happy.”
“Temi is so sweet and cookie loves her so much ?. We are so fortunate to have her watch cookie and will highly recommend her and definitely use her again. ?”
“I always worry about leaving my now 4-yr old shih tzu who is temperamental and has separation anxiety in another’s care. Saewon and her family accepted my Oslo with no hesitation. They sent me text updates, pix and videos that re-assured me my boy was in good hands. Gamsahamnida (thank you) Saewon and Ian for welcoming and taking good care of Oslo! ‘Til next time!”
“They were so amazing!! They took very good care of my baby and sent me lots of updates and cute photos I highly recommend them if you ever need a sitter!!”
“Our dog TJ spent a week with David. He came home happy so I assume David was good with him. David sent us daily pics and videos of TJ inside and outside. And David’s a nice guy. I would use him again.”
“Oscar was an amazing, responsible dog sitter to my two dogs. We met prior to the dates so they would be more comfortable with him. During their stay with him, we were in constant contact, so I knew they were in good hands. He was sending videos, pics, and texts to let me know how they were doing. They had plenty of walks and play time. When I picked them up, Oscar described my dogs' personalities and behavior like he knew them for years. He was so attentive and caring to them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to him the next time I need a sitter!”
“thank you Kiryl for taking such good care of my boy in a pinch! it was such short notice and he was able to watch my fur baby and send pictures multiple times a day! i will definitely bring my boy to Kiryl to help me in the future.”
“Thavery was really great taking care of our Teddy over the weekend. We did a meet and greet to ensure our dogs were good with each other and to also meet with Thavery as well. She was understanding of our separation anxiety with our 3rd baby, and she made us feel at ease knowing she would take good care of our Teddy. Since she is a dog owner as well, she knows how much love we give and receive from our fur babies, and how they really are our family. She kept us updated several times per day with pictures and videos, and that was wonderful to see. I would recommend Thavery for sure for anyone who is looking for a dog sitter and we will use her next time as well. Thank you again Thavery!”
“Couldn’t have asked for better care—Cie kept our pup happy, safe, and pampered. Total pro, super responsive, sent us many pictures showing him having a ball. Cie is the only dog sitter we will use.”
“Cal & Susie were super great taking care of Hubble on multiple visits. Our dog loves being around people, and it's clear their family looked after him as if Hubble was their own. They sent us lots of photos while we were away, and are super helpful with coordinating dropoffs and pickups around the complexities of travel.”
“This was our second stay, and once again it was a 5-star experience for our senior dog, Petey. The biggest compliment we can give is that he has absolutely zero anxiety when we drop him off, which hasn’t been the case with other sitters we’ve used in the past. It’s clear he’s comfortable, well cared for, and treated like family. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such great hands. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of him, we’ll definitely be back!”
“My experience with Polyanna couldn't have been more positive. She was punctual and super friendly in all of our meetings. She sent me photos of Jojo while I was away, which made me feel very calm and reassured :) I was happy my dog had the chance to socialize and be with someone else other than me (she's over attached). I can't thank Polyanna enough!”
“I would absolutely use Kaylee again. My dog Coco seemed like she was on vacation. Kaylee took lots of pictures and gave me an update of coco’s activities and eating/sleeping schedule. It really comforting to see that coco was in great hands.”
“Bella had another great stay with Mika while we were on vacation in Europe. It was so nice to receive pictures and videos of Bella’s daily activities, which made me feel at ease about being away. I could tell Bella is really comfortable with Mika and her family and I am so grateful to them for taking such good care of Bella!”
“Another great stay for Onion with Kristina. Prompt communication and always shared photos throughout the entire week long stay. Thank you and we hope to see you soon.”

“Lisa was wonderful with my precious kitty. This was Ku’uipo’s first time being alone since losing my other cat, so I was nervous, but Lisa gave her the care, patience, and all the attention she needed. She sent detailed updates and photos, and I really appreciated knowing my fur baby was being seen and loved during each visit. I came home to a happy, well cared for kitty, and that gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book Lisa again.”

“This is my second time having Corey look after my 2 cats and i can’t recommend her enough ! She is incredibly thoughtful and will often bring her own toys to ensure the kittens get their play time and attention. She goes above and beyond in sending me detailed photos of their time together and always makes sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. Will be booking her again for my next weekend away !”
“Amanda was simply amazing with our kittens. She was super detail oriented starting from the very 1st meet and greet. The daily rover cards and videos from her told a story of her bonding and taking great care of our kittens and giving us the peace of mind during our vacation. We really appreciated the experience.”
“Brittany is the most amazing person! I never go out of town simply for the fact my frenchie is aggressive and it’s hard to find someone she is okay with. Brittany came to meet my 2 and took on the challenge of Juby. She sent pictures every visit, played with them, gave the best updates on what was going on, she even took them on a virtual walk since I wasn’t having them go out. She went above and beyond for me and even had my aggressive booger happy! I’m so happy I found Brittany and so are Juby and Dezi! She will be my go to as long as she will have us!”
“Cie did an amazing job with our two cats and chinchilla. She even bought a toothbrush to give our chinchilla scratches, which he absolutely loved! She was very communicative and let us know everything that was going on with the animals in the house. I can highly recommend her to take amazing care of any pet.”
“Greta was amazing and truly caring with my kitty. From the start, I felt comfortable and confident leaving my pet in her care. I really appreciated the regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Greta again 😊”
“Kiryl, Thank you so much for caring for my pal Pearl, sending photos, feeding and sitting with her. Gave me such peace and calm knowing you showed up as scheduled. I felt so much comfort knowing you are in the complex too.”
“She did such a great job with our two dogs. The home visit went well and the dogs were very happy when we got home after her first visit. Looking forward to her next drop in!”
“Dorcas dropped in to take care of my cat several times and has been a wonderful sitter. Recently, I had a last minute request over the holiday weekend and she was able to drop by to feed my cat. She's prompt and goes above and beyond what's requested. Communication with her is easy and she sends plenty of photos!”
“Maggie is awesome! Our boys LOVE her - even the super shy one. She is very flexible and agreed to check in on our boys on very short notice - hugely appreciated. We have already booked her for another trip we're taking next week. Couldn't be happier.”
“I needed someone to play with my super energetic cat (Skooma) while I have to be away. Skooma loves her and follows her around during her visits. My old, grouchy cat (Bidoof) usually hides when people come in but she seems to stay visible when Victoria is around which is an amazing thing for Bidoof. We love Victoria! She is super nice and accommodating, even when I needed to add a last minute day to her visiting schedule. 💖”
“Anastasiia checked on my kitty while I was out for the holidays. She did an excellent job looking out for him and giving me daily updates. She was very flexible and it is clear that she is very familiar interacting and taking care of cats.”

About: I used to work at an animal hospital and have attended formal training on pet care. I’ve been a pet lover all my life. Caring for animals is my passion! I work from home full-time so I have constant presence around the pets I babysit. My 7yo female (spayed) Calico stays with me and loves having access to me all day, and if you have a social pet, then I’m here for them too! I know which stuff are bad for pets so you’re guaranteed a safe stay with us. I am home all day so there will be constant care and guidance
“David and his family were so great to Perry. He was very responsive and we did a meet and greet prior to book the day care. We are looking for a long term sitter in the area so decided to use the daycare as a trial to see if it would be a good match. David sent us a lot of photos and from the photos I can tell Perry was having fun, always in a big smile. Thank you so much for taking care of Perry and we will be back to book David really soon!”
“Echo and Rita were wonderful. They were so sweet and took great care of our Obi, sending us lots of pics and videos, and accommodating us on short notice. Will definitely call on them next time.”
“Temi was amazing! Flik had an absolute blast with her and came home tired and happy. We immediately felt comfortable with Temi from the moment we met. She has such a calm and friendly personality and was great about sending photos and videos of her adventures with Flik. We are looking forward to having her dog sit in the future and I’m sure Flik will be very excited to see her again!”
“Kaylee really took great care of Toby even when he put his brakes on during a walk. She sent me pictures n updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee for ur pup or kitty! Thx!”
“Repeat customer here. I came back to Junping because she really cares for pets like it’s her own. She’s very caring and now my dog gets excited when he knows he’s going to see her. Her kids are also very loving and caring towards JB. Makes him feel like he’s at home!”
“One of the nicest people I’ve ever met. So kind and understanding. I had to cancel last minute and she was so great. I’m really looking forward to taking my Lucy to see her some day.”
About: My dog Mr.Paisley is 20 years old & Buttercup is 3. I've been blessed to have paisley since he was just a puppy and I was still a kid. We grew up together & through that he has taught me lessons I will carry for rest of my life, like unconditional love, compassion, joy for the present moment & so much more. Buttercup I got as a puppy as well & she instantly brought so much life into our home. I trained her myself to follow commands like stay, lay sit, sit on her butt with paws up, potty training and so much more cool stuff we practice everyday. There's a lot of love between paisley & buttercup, despite the age difference its actual been complimentary to each of them and has made a nice balance in the environment we cultivated as a pack together with regular activities, playtime, rest & relaxing all part of our daily routines. I am currently in college taking fully online courses & I also have an audio production company that I run remotely from my home online, audio is also what I am in school for. So between these as my primary obligations with an occasional audio engineering gig I have plenty of time to give all the love, walks and attention any dog would need. It's mutually beneficial for me and the dogs because I love to be active and they simply give me joy. I have my home accommodated for dogs to live their best life. I have a fenced backyard with a long 30ft long dog run with trees and dirt on the side of my home, then the actual backyard has sun most of the daytime with places for them to lounge and shaded spots to be in the fresh air, there's also grass for them to do business and a small puppy pool for the dogs who like to splash around a bit and play. The inside of my home is big and open with the upstairs and front office already securely blocked with puppy gates installed so they can wander safely and to their hearts content. I have big low to the floor comfy couches the dogs are totally allowed to be on and a special area in my living room that's 10x10 feet that I dedicated as a play pen area with padded floors under and cozy washable potty matts so the dogs feel like they have their own personal space they can get in & out of & go to whenever they want. Mr.Paisley my 20 year old dog loves it. Because he's older now I have learned how to manage special diets and ive also gained a deep instinct to notice things that indicate to me to give extra love and attention, also to handle serious situations calmly and correctly. I have a sliding screen door that I installed a dog door on so the dogs have access to outside all day anytime they want. I go on about 8 walks a day, different lengths & different speeds depending on the dog and I love it. This is a happy, healthy home your dog will love to be apart of.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been a very important part of my life. Spending time with dogs, playing with them, preparing their food and water, and paying attention to their daily routines comes naturally to me because I truly love and understand them. I know that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs extra patience, I will treat them with kindness, attention, and love just like they are my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will do my best to give both you and your dog a stress-free and reassuring experience. Pets are like family to me — they are like my babies. I always try to follow their normal routine and take the best care of them so they can feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I pay attention to what they need and let them be themselves while giving them lots of love, patience, and care. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I always care for pets according to the owner’s instructions and routines. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks and exercise, and receive plenty of attention and care. I take my responsibilities seriously and always do my best to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while they are in my care.

About: I've taken care of my friends' dogs for years and adopted my own puppy 3 years ago! I've learned a lot about dog training the past few years, including loose leash walking, clicker training, working on reactivity, recall training, and getting through the puppy and teenage phase! I am familiar with positive reinforcement training and balanced training and can help keep up any training you have been working on with your dog while I take care of them! I'm familiar with various collars - regular, prong, slip, gentle leaders, and harnesses. I'm currently taking a work hiatus from being a pharmacist! So I have flexible scheduling during the day & evenings to help take care of your pup! I'm typically at the ceramics studio on Fridays, but if you let me know 2 weeks in advance of the Friday you need me, I can make arrangements. I am here to help your pets feel as safe and happy as they can while you're away. Just let me know their normal routine (no matter how detailed) and I'm happy to keep it the same for them! I can help administer medications if needed, and can put together multi-step meals with toppers as well!
“i could not be happier with greta's care for my pup. not only did i reach out to her last minute, to which she responded so graciously, she was so kind, warm, conscientious, and communicative. i received a steady stream of photos, videos, and updates while i was away, she left notes when necessary, and even made sure to check that i arrived home safely in time for my pet's next walk. i wasn't able to meet greta in advance (my fault, not hers!) but she took my instructions in stride and did such a wonderful job. i will 1000% request her services the next time i travel, and i highly recommend her skills to anyone who needs a caretaker for their pet.”
“Summer was amazing! Summer, walked my dog for an hour each day over the course of a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention provided. Summer was communicative, and treated my dog with genuine kindness. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos—great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
About: ⭐️ Deep experience with anxious dogs ⭐️ Outdoor & at-home enrichment ⭐️ From puppies to seniors ⭐️ Med management💊 I’m the pet parent to a 6-year old rescue mix with high anxiety, so I know how scary and frustrating it is to find enrichment, care, and exercise that isn’t triggering or overwhelming for them. I’m available almost every weekday for walks, potty breaks, games (including at-home for anxious dogs who won’t play outside with others), and cuddles to keep your beloved furry family member happy and tired out while you’re away. Experienced with oral medication (giving it to my own dog daily!), enrichment games (snuffle mats, hiding games, et.), and high-energy activities like hikes and dog parks. My weekday schedule is flexible so your dog can have enrichment time whether you’re away at work or running errands. I currently work from home with flexible hours so any time from early morning through evening is an option for me. My utmost priority is your dog’s comfort, so I will adapt to your pet’s daily routine and your personal preferences for your home. You’ll receive pictures every time, whether we’re walking, snuggling on the couch, or playing games together in the yard or living room.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I combine responsibility with genuine attentiveness to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” dogs — I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. With puppies, I pay great attention to how they feel and I’m very patient at caring for them. With senior dogs, I’m patient and attentive to mobility needs, medication schedules, slower walking pace, and comfort routines. I pay close attention to subtle behavior changes that may indicate discomfort. I’m also detail-oriented when it comes to feeding instructions, allergies, and household rules. Clean water, safe environments, and secure walks are always my priority. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique temperament. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home most of the time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of interaction throughout the day instead of leaving dogs alone for long periods. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can adapt to each dog’s needs — whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, feeding at specific times, or sticking closely to an established routine. Being home also allows me to monitor behavior closely and respond quickly if anything seems off. Because pet care would be a dedicated part of my day, I’m able to give dogs my full attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for rather than just accommodated. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I remove potential hazards, keep doors and gates secured, and ensure all food and small objects are out of reach. Dogs have a comfortable resting area, constant access to fresh water, and structured playtime. I supervise interactions at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, house rules, and preferred routines. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes to ensure security. I’m attentive to behavior changes and will immediately communicate any concerns. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured. I understand that trust is everything when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and responsibility.

I’m happy to support: -single or multi-pet households -timed feedings and special instructions -oral medication and supplements -senior or shy pets who need a gentle presence If you’re looking for a reliable, low-stress, pet-savvy-sitter, I’d love to set up a meet & greet! About me: Attentive sitter providing detailed updates, medication support, and call care for anxious pets! Schedule Flexibly With Me! I work from home and am able to be mobile for my job. Ideally, I’m popping in to your home to provide check in services, play, and attend to any other needs (food, water refresh, walking). Depending on extent of need I may be able to do weekends as well. I do have a full time remote job as well. I’m doing this in part because I enjoy caring for animals, and also to help cover some recent vet costs! Your Pet’s Safety Is My Priority! I focus on pet safety and comfort above all else.

About: Hi, I'm Nika! As a dog owner of 11 years, I know that pets are family. I treat every dog I care for with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I have hands-on experience with overnight pet sitting and dog walking. I'm highly reliable, stick closely to your feeding and walking routines, and love sending photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pup needs a high energy walk or a cozy overnight companion, I'm here to help! I am currently on my summer break meaning I have an extremely flexible schedule and can take care of you pups for the most part at any time! In my clients home, I have spent the night with a dog before and I spend all my time with the dog, play with them, take them out, and make sure to be attentive to what the dog needs while making sure they’re having fun! I also send updates/take photos just to keep owners updated.
About: I cared for my two Chihuahuas for over 17 years, from when they were babies to their senior years. In 2022, we said goodbye and sent them to Rainbow Bridge. Since then, I have been a dog sitter for my friends, caring for their babies with the same love and dedication, while prioritizing safety and careful supervision at all times. I also completed a Veterinary Assistant program, which helps me better understand senior care and medication support. To ensure a calm and comfortable environment, I only care for one dog at a time unless they are from the same household. I stay home full time and try to minimize alone time as much as possible. I understand that being away from family can feel stressful for some dogs, and I focus on creating a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe and loved. I stay with dogs overnight so they don't feel alone. I also provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel reassured while you are away. We live in a house with a patio in a quiet neighborhood. I take them for walks around the neighborhood several times a day and always make sure they are wearing secure leashes. Our home environment is calm and structured to help dogs feel safe and comfortable. My husband and two teenage sons also love dogs and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful with them.

“Miss Kk has been the absolute best dog walker for my 15lb dachshund mix for the past few months, 3x a week. We are in the area for work and staying at a hotel and she adjusted so well to the hotel life and the hotel staff absolutely love her and so does my pup. She is so reliable and has never cancelled on me ever. She is so sweet and I highly recommend using her for any and all services.”
“Highly recommend Randi! She is professional, punctual, and provenherself to be trustworthy. She took the time to genuinely understand my dog's needs and they hit it off immediately. She gave my dog a fantastic walk and even spent time playing ball. Excellent service all around. We will definitely be rebooking.”
“Lauren was great! I really appreciated how she worked with Ottie and all his little quirks. He take a minute to warm up, but I could tell he really like Lauren. Will be using her for all my future dog walking needs!”

“Hanah & Dabin took such great care of our rescue dog Lilo during her first 2-week boarding stay 🥹💕 Since she’s a rescue, she can be pretty fearful and shy in new environments, so we were honestly nervous leaving her for that long for the first time. They sent us lots of photo/video updates, were incredibly patient and warm with her, and made us feel so at ease the whole time. It was so comforting seeing Lilo slowly open up and enjoy herself 🐶 We’re super grateful for all the love and care they gave her, and we’d absolutely book with them again!! 💛”

“Lee is the best! Not only is her home pristine, cozy, and in a lovely safe neighborhood with lots of grass and greenery for pups to roam and sniff, but she has such a warmth about her that shows in her care for our dogs. She is observant of our dogs needs and followed all of our feeding and walking instructions. She is also communicative with any concerns that came up along the way and was great about sending us photos and updates of how our furbabies were doing each day. So happy to have found her and would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Rohan did a great job at looking after my 2 year old aussie, Beau! Beau gets anxious around people on walks and Rohan did a great job at following my care instructions to make sure that my dog was safe and managed his anxiety well. I’m glad I was able to trust Rohan to create a comfortable environment for my dog!”
“Rebecca and Tom are just wonderful, kind, caring and very knowledgeable about dogs behavior. After two attempts with Rover, I finally found a second home for my dog and was able to travel with peace of mind. I received daily messages and pictures during my trip and Rio was very happy the day I went to pick him up. Thank you for taking such good care of Rio! I think he is missing Hunter's company.”
“Ning took wonderful care of my dog, Lulu! She sent me lots of videos and updates throughout the stay, keeping me informed about Lulu's meals, walks, and overall well-being. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Lulu was in such caring hands. Lulu came home happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection. I highly recommend Ning and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
