“Cindy was very attentive towards my husky who had never stayed with a sitter before. She was very understanding and able to answer a lot of the questions I had about the process and stay, as well as send multiple updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos of my husky! I highly recommend Cindy if it’s your first time trying to find a sitter or in search for a new one!”
“Gianina & her family were so great to my pup. we recently moved and I was really nervous leaving him while I left town. They sent photos daily which eased my discomfort but also helped me see how well Sutton settled in to their home and it brought me a lot of ease to see how comfortable he was so quickly. I will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Milo stayed with Mary again and he had such a great time! I felt completely at ease throughout my whole trip thanks to the regular updates and photos. I truly can’t recommend Mary enough!”
“We're repeat customers, and trust Lea with our dog even when going out of town with minimal cell service. She is flexible with drop off and pick up times, and handles all of our senior dog's dietary and medication needs without any problem! Our dog gets excited to see Lea when we drop her off, so we know she has a good vacation herself! Thanks so much Lea!”
“I can't say enough good things about Harper. She took exceptional care of my dog, Wilson, and I could tell he was in great hands. Wilson seemed happy and content throughout my time away, which speaks volumes about the care he received. I also appreciated the daily updates and pictures that Harper sent, keeping me informed about Wilson's activities and well-being. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was so well taken care of. Thank you so much for your help, Harper!”

“Repeat client of Lai’s - appreciate her timely responses and lucky she was available on short notice. I feel I can trust my dog with her because when I picked him up she mentioned observations about his appetite and behavior that seemed potentially abnormal. Thank you again Lai!”
“I am beyond relieved to have found the perfect sitter for Coco. Robin and Dan suggested a meet and greet and then a trial stay so that Coco would get to know them before leaving her there for a longer period. During the two day trial, I was given updates via text, photos and videos. They kept Coco entertained and very well taken care of. They are the sweetest couple and they genuinely love what they do. I highly recommend them!”
“Olivia and her husband were amazing with watching Kaya for 2 weeks. They sent pictures and updates regularly and were very responsive. They took great care of her, especially with making sure to give her medication daily. I will definitely be rebooking with them again in the future!”

“Second time staying with Huong, she is definitely the sitter to go to! Very caring of dogs, saw the shaved part on my dog’s leg and ask for more caring instructions, will definitely go back to her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I provide a safe, loving home environment and care for one family’s pet at a time so your dog gets plenty of attention and individualized care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and provide boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Dogs in my care should be comfortable spending a 1-2 hours independently at a time while I am running errands, or attending to other commitments (picking kid up from camp or school for example). Mondays and Thursdays are typically office days, so these days are my longest periods away from home (~8 hours during the day). Outside of those times, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, walks, and care. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a safe, family-oriented home and care for one family’s pet at a time. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
“Angélica and her family were awesome! They took such good care of my girl, provided regular updates including photos and video. They have a lovely home with a yard, take time to walk and play with your pet, and even helped train/reinforce training for tricks. The questionnaire they provide prior to booking helps prevent forgetting any important details. I absolutely will ask them to watch Lilah again in the future.”
“Natalia is the best with my puppies. She sent pics everyday and spoiled them so much. I extended the stay of my pups and she did above and beyond to accommodate my request. We were so lucky to find her and my pups love her.”

“Gagan was very accommodating of our last minute request and provided estate for our cat keeping him in a separate room to make him feel comfortable. He kept us informed via updates and photos and took good care of him. Highly recommended”
About: I have cared for and loved cats all of my life. I have 3 elderly cats that I’ve had since 1st grade. I have taken care of many of my family’s cats and cared for them as if they were my own. I have also helped take care of stray kittens until they were old enough to get spayed/neutered.
“Denisse was very conscientious! She took the time to get photos of the cats and to give us a detailed description of what she had accomplished during her visit. The cats seemed relaxed and happy when we returned home.”
“Dani took excellent care of Brenna for the holiday week and was incredibly reliable and sweet with my lil kitty. I would absolutely book her again for future pet sitting needs.”

“Gave our three cats lots of love and affection and did a great job documenting her visits. Friendly and communicative. Took good care of other details like a special package that was unexpectedly delivered early. Would absolutely book her again!”
“Angela stayed with our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. She did an amazing job caring for our cat and our house, as well as providing frequent updates and photos.”
“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”
“Jesselle took such great care of a 4-5 week old kitten that I rescued the day before a family vacation. She was responsive and sent great pictures and videos. Her home is ideal for pets needing a quiet space, and she was very accommodating and understood how to implement the care instructions I provided. Thank you again, Jesselle!”

“Vanessa is an absolute blessing! Grizzly LOVES Vanessa (yes I’m a bit jealous haha) and it is very hard for grizzly to like anyone!!! She is friendly, trustworthy and reliable. I love the updates and pictures she provided while we were away. She’s amazing with dogs, I can brag about her all day. I have definitely found my forever sitter and will be rebooking soon. I really don’t know what we would’ve done without her :) Vanessa- thank you so much for your time! I really appreciate you and Grizzly absolutely loves you!!

If you’re looking for a way to give your dog the best day, every day, let’s chat! I’d love to welcome your pup into my pack. Life gets busy, but your dog’s needs don’t stop. That’s where I come in! Whether you have long work hours, a packed schedule, or just want to give your pup more exercise and socialization, I provide flexible and reliable pet care that fits seamlessly into your routine. With my structured group hikes, your dog gets the physical and mental stimulation they need during the day—so when you come home, they’re happy, relaxed, and ready to cuddle. Need overnight care?

Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. For group hikes, I ensure a structured, supervised, and safe pack environment where dogs can socialize and explore while following proper leash and trail etiquette. I carefully assess each dog’s temperament and energy level to create well-matched groups, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience.

Whether it’s extra playtime, a quiet nap space, or a special feeding schedule, I make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. With a focus on trust, structure, and fun, I provide an environment where dogs can thrive—giving you peace of mind knowing your pup is in the best hands.
“Nilab is so great! She has watched my cats twice now and is so good at getting them comfortable and out of their shell. They can be nervous with new people especially when I am gone but Novak is so kind and patient and it’s been great to see my pets warm up to her. She’s is very communicative and sends great updates as well. I can have so much peace of mind knowing Nilab is taking really good care of my cats. Thank you!”
“Kate was great! It was easy to coordinate with her and she took very good care of my cat while I was away. Sent me photos/updates each day and overall I felt very good leaving the kitty with her. ?Looking forward to booking her again when I leave home next!”

“Harper was an incredible find for us, and we couldn't be more grateful! This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were in a bit of a bind. A family member who usually puppy-sits our young Chihuahua had to cancel last minute, leaving us scrambling for a solution. Enter Harper. After finding the app and seeing her glowing reviews, we booked her on ultra-short notice. The drop-off was pretty hectic—our little pup was already stressed out from the sudden change, and poor Harper had to step in under less-than-ideal circumstances. But she handled it like a pro! When we picked him up, he was completely calm and relaxed—a huge testament to Harper’s care and patience. She had taken him on a walk to the park and made sure he felt safe and happy. We’re beyond impressed with her professionalism and warmth. Harper has our highest recommendation, and we’ll definitely be turning to her again in the future!”

I try my best to give lots of updates and pics so the humans can enjoy their time away as well.

“She was incredibly patient and caring with my puppy. Since he hasn’t completed all of his vaccinations yet, she was able to accommodate him by only watching one dog at a time, which gave me great peace of mind. She regularly sent me photos and updates, so I always knew how he was doing. She also helped with his potty training and was very attentive to his needs. I could tell she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and responsible dog sitter! I will definitely rebook her if needed in the future! Thanks Yan!”

Outdoor fun happens in a sanitized yard with two gates for maximum security, alongside my two friendly resident dogs. Inside, your dog gets their own private, quiet space for meals and structured downtime to ensure a completely safe, stress-free stay.

“Jacqueline helped put our anxious-prone girl at ease in just ten minutes, and then it was all mutual affection! Phoebe received good care and it was just as we had instructed. With Phoebe's separation anxiety, Jacqueline never left her alone, which we appreciated!”

Might also add that my dog is not small. He is a big, energetic dog! And he came home happy and tired -- which is what I hoped for!”

“Cindy was very attentive towards my husky who had never stayed with a sitter before. She was very understanding and able to answer a lot of the questions I had about the process and stay, as well as send multiple updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos of my husky! I highly recommend Cindy if it’s your first time trying to find a sitter or in search for a new one!”
“Olivia and her husband were amazing with watching Kaya for 2 weeks. They sent pictures and updates regularly and were very responsive. They took great care of her, especially with making sure to give her medication daily. I will definitely be rebooking with them again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I provide a safe, loving home environment and care for one family’s pet at a time so your dog gets plenty of attention and individualized care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule and provide boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Dogs in my care should be comfortable spending a 1-2 hours independently at a time while I am running errands, or attending to other commitments (picking kid up from camp or school for example). Mondays and Thursdays are typically office days, so these days are my longest periods away from home (~8 hours during the day). Outside of those times, dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, walks, and care. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a safe, family-oriented home and care for one family’s pet at a time. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
“Natalia is the best with my puppies. She sent pics everyday and spoiled them so much. I extended the stay of my pups and she did above and beyond to accommodate my request. We were so lucky to find her and my pups love her.”
“April and Josh took care of our Charlie so well. Charlie is a high energetic Labrador with too much of separation anxiety and we were really worried to leave him for 2 nights. We did a meet & greet the day before, and Charlie got instantly comfortable. Their dog Boba is very lovable and gentle. April communicated regularly and responded in a timely fashion and also sent lots of pictures. Charlie was very happy and well taken care of! I would feel completely comfortable leaving Charlie in their care again!”
“We call her Rover's auntie Caddie. Rover loves being with Caddie and her family. She would provides information more than we could ask for while Rover is with her family. Rover is always kept clean, good diet and happy. We highly recommend and we will always be booking Rover with Caddie.”
“Sarentuya was wonderful with my dog! She can be pouty and refused to go on walks, but she was so patient and gave her lots of love and attention instead. I really appreciated the photo updates and knowing she was comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Brenda took great care of Drake! She kept me updated with regular photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also made sure Drake was comfortable, especially with all the fireworks going on. I truly appreciated her care and attention, and I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Guava really enjoyed her stay with Judy and we even got some tips on training her. I have already booked another stay with Judy. We got plenty of pics and videos during the stay and I am very happy with how the reservation turned out.”
“This was our second time boarding Maggie and Sugar, and once again we couldn’t be happier! From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear they were in warm, loving hands. Leaving your pups behind is never easy, but knowing they’re so well cared for makes all the difference — we actually enjoy our time away without a worry in the world. 🐾 Both girls came home happy, relaxed, and tail-wagging, which says it all. The love and attention they receive goes above and beyond, and it means everything to find someone who truly treats your dogs like their own. Thank you Socorro and We’re already looking forward to booking our next stay! Highly recommend! 🐶❤️”
“Jocelyn took excellent care of our dog, Shadow. She was friendly, attentive, and clearly adored him and formed a genuine bond with him. She followed all of our care instructions carefully and sent frequent updates, which gave us confidence and peace of mind while we were away. Shadow looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for throughout the stay. We would gladly trust Jocelyn with him again.”
“Tracey was super communicative and cared for Leo well. She has a great set up and nice neighborhood for dogs, and her 2 boxer buddies were so friendly. Would definitely book again!”
“Minfang is very nice and accommodating. I was super anxious at first since it would be the first time my dog is gonna be staying with a someone who’s not a family member. But Minfang’s aura made me confident that my boy is gonna be fine. She sent me a lot of pictures and when I picked him up, he was a happy boy. I’d get her again for sure.”
“Jocelyn was amazing! We got lots of updates and photos of our pup during her stay with her! 🥰 She was also accommodating to our pups needs and comforted her as she was afraid of the fireworks on the 4th. Definitely recommend to book with her she was great!”
About: Hello! My name is Fabiola, I am a responsible and caring animal lover with over 6 years of experience caring for pets. I truly enjoy spending time with pets, making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, and have plenty of time to care for your four legged loved ones. I have three friendly little dogs that enjoy playing with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. I house dogs and interact with them depending on their specific needs and personalities. I have a fully fenced in yard (6ft fence) with enough space for zoomies and for the pups who love to sunbathe. I am able to crate pups who prefer to sleep in their own designated areas, And allow dogs with a bit more anxiety to sleep near me so I can monitor them more closely.
“My dog Patches had a wonderful stay with Dean. Dean makes sure my dog gets a lot of exercise. And I know Patches is really happy spending time at Dean's house. He gets to play with people he likes and trusts. Dean will always be a favorite stay for Patches and I am glad to have found him. Thanks Dean!”
“I’m so grateful to have Sameer as our go-to dog sitter! He’s taken care of our pup several times now, and every experience has been wonderful. Sameer’s genuine love for dogs shines through in how he interacts with our pup—he’s incredibly dog-friendly and attentive to their needs. What I really appreciate is his promptness in sending updates. It’s so reassuring to receive regular check-ins and photos, knowing that our dog is happy and well-cared-for. Sameer’s dedication and reliability make him a standout sitter. We couldn’t be happier with the care he provides!”
