“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”
“Megan and Jenny were a pleasure to meet and chat with. They took care of my dog exceptionally well with great updates and cute photos. My dog really vibed with them that she remembered their house after the initial meet and greet 🥹 thank you so much!”
“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”
“Chad helped us look after our dog while we were getting married, and brought him to the church for a photo op. He was very responsive and would highly recommend him.”
“There’s no place like home but this is the closest place to it. Wonderful, warm, loving and caring home by a wonderful, loving and caring person. And her dear sweet mother too! 5 stars all around. I had to find a sitter on extreme short notice and I was so thrilled that Chawntea was willing to accept my pup with less than 12 hours notice and for a 13 day stay while I was out of the country. My pampered pooch was treated like her own and I honestly think she may have came back more spoiled than when I left her and after that much time away it was a wonderful feeling knowing she was cared for so well. She even gave her a bath! Definitely will be a repeat customer and looking forward to future play dates w/ Bailey. Thank you so much!”
“Kennia provided a loving home for my dog, and has wonderful experience with big dogs. I would trust her with my Borsoi always again! I also appreciated her help with the picking-up and drop-off ?? merci, my dear, I’m happy we met!”
“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.”
“What a wonderful experience! Amanda and Chris took such great care of my special needs pup, and really brought him in as part of their family. They sent lots of photos to keep me in the loop which I loved. I would absolutely trust them to take care of my big buddy any time :)”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Roger loved staying with Kelly! He came home so happy, well-fed, and clean!! Kelly has a true love for animals and it shows. She provided us with updates, photos, and videos and they were a treat! Highly recommend :)”
“Meghan did an amazing job taking care of our two huskies! We truly felt like she treated them like her own. She sent regular updates and photos. One of our pups required medicine and was on a special diet for a few days and Meghan was diligent about making sure he got both. We were gone for 10 days and felt at ease knowing our pups were with Meghan. We will be rebooking in the near future!!”
“Alisha is the best dog sitter ever!!! She took care of our dog for 10 days straight and we couldn’t be happier. I feel like my dog went on vacation, not me ? We are definitely going to use Alisha’s services in the near future again.”
“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”
“Meera was great and professional. She was very communicative and always sent photos of my dog the whole time, I really appreciate it. She was very sweet and gentle with jazz and took her on walks and hikes. I would recommend to anyone”
“Robin and Dan are very warm, caring and obvious dog lovers. They took Nora in with open arms and were very accommodating when it comes to her quirks. They sent many updates, photos and videos. I could tell Nora felt instantly at home with them and knew she would be well taken care of. Robin and I had thorough conversations before her stay on Nora’s specific needs and traits which mad me feel at ease. Nora was very happy and content when we picked her up and didn’t seem to want to leave! We would love for Robin and Dan to take care of Nora in the future”
“Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!”
“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”
“I’m so glad to have found Hy and Arlo! My dog Neko can be shy with new people and reactive toward other dogs, so I was nervous about leaving her with a dog sitter. Hy met with us in advance and was extremely patient and understanding of Neko’s issues. She understood the need to keep Neko away from other dogs and was so gentle and sweet with her. She was great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures and updates during Neko’s stay. I’m planning to leave Neko with them again this summer and know she will be in good hands!”

Treesa loves pups of all sizes! Meet my pets: Just the dogs! About my yard We have a fenced backyard. My experience administering medication We are comfortable administering oral medication. **We do have a Potty Clause. We understand accidents happen, and are very forgiving, as pups are often excited and can't help themselves at first. However, we have occasionally had extreme repeat offenders. We take dogs on the basis that they are potty trained. If we feel there are an excessive number of indoor incidents, we will let you know, and ask for a $10 additional fee (per week, or fraction thereof), to cover the cost of laundry and cleaning supplies.** Thanks! I work from home so your pup will hang out with me at home, join me on walks, and get to spend the day with me! I have a fenced yard. Security gate at my back door means fresh air without escape opportunity. We're working on installing a dog door, so that should happen later this year!

Beatryx made sure that we felt comfortable that our puppy would be introduced to other pups in a measured and controlled way, and that Beatryx would give us updates about our pup's day.

“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”
“She is a total sweetie and very accommodating! My dog can get shy and anxious around new people and other dogs and Julia took great care of her adapting to what will work best to ease some of my girls anxiety. Sent lots of pictures and updates as well, we already booked her for more overnights as well as drop ins! She is very flexible with her schedule and meeting her clients needs. Thank you Julia!”

About: I have been taking care of my family’s and friends dog/pets for years now due to my love of animals, I made sure they are well fed and taken care of no matter what. Nothing makes me sadder than a suffering animal, so I make sure they are taken care of no matter what! I can usually do it after my classes during the week days but I tend not to want to do weekends since I need the free time to make sure I have everything in my personal life taken care of. I make sure my own dog gets her daily walk in the morning before feeding her then once I get home I take her for a walk again before making dinner for her and myself. And of course playing with her outside in my backyard and letting her lay with me if fireworks goes off since she is deathly afraid of them.
About: I love dogs! At the end of the day your fur child will be happy and pooped, and you will be worry free knowing that they are in safe hands and well taken care of. Having pets of my own I am very well aware of the responsibilities that come with a dog. I know just exactly what is required of me, and what is expected. After a long hard day at work, you will be able to come home to a cuddle bug just waiting for your arrival. Or even while you are away on vacation, you can be rest assured knowing that your pet is in good hands! What comes with your pet visit: 1 on 1 attention full of love and care. 30 minutes or more of playtime at the dog park at least once per stay 15-20 min. walks (at least 3 times a day). Meals will be served morning and evening Positive reinforcement is a must! Please note that it is a MUST that your dog is neutered/spayed to prevent any accidents. And let me know of any problem behaviors so I can best understand your dog's needs and how to approach it.

About: Hello All, my name is Jaylen. I am a college graduate who enjoys exercise, spending time outdoors & animals. I’ve owned multiple pets over the course of my life & have dog sitting/walking experience. I’m fun, energetic, patient and outgoing, which is how I’ve always been since I was a child. I hope this introduction serves as a warm welcome to anyone who reads this. Thank you! I currently work for myself, so I’ll have a lot of time to stop by and attend to your pups! I’m free mostly after 5 throughout the week, but sometimes also before. I have a nice house with a lot of land and a fenced yard. It is very accommodating for pets, good neighborhood and very nice routes to walk.
“Dora was wonderful to work with! She took great care of my dog Sassy, feeding her dinner and taking her for a walk on the days I needed to work late. She was very responsive to my messages and sent pictures of the walks. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. Thanks Dora!”

“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”
“Megan and Jenny were a pleasure to meet and chat with. They took care of my dog exceptionally well with great updates and cute photos. My dog really vibed with them that she remembered their house after the initial meet and greet 🥹 thank you so much!”
“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”
“Chad helped us look after our dog while we were getting married, and brought him to the church for a photo op. He was very responsive and would highly recommend him.”
“Kennia provided a loving home for my dog, and has wonderful experience with big dogs. I would trust her with my Borsoi always again! I also appreciated her help with the picking-up and drop-off ?? merci, my dear, I’m happy we met!”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Meghan did an amazing job taking care of our two huskies! We truly felt like she treated them like her own. She sent regular updates and photos. One of our pups required medicine and was on a special diet for a few days and Meghan was diligent about making sure he got both. We were gone for 10 days and felt at ease knowing our pups were with Meghan. We will be rebooking in the near future!!”
“Alisha is the best dog sitter ever!!! She took care of our dog for 10 days straight and we couldn’t be happier. I feel like my dog went on vacation, not me ? We are definitely going to use Alisha’s services in the near future again.”
“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”
“Meera was great and professional. She was very communicative and always sent photos of my dog the whole time, I really appreciate it. She was very sweet and gentle with jazz and took her on walks and hikes. I would recommend to anyone”
“I’m so glad to have found Hy and Arlo! My dog Neko can be shy with new people and reactive toward other dogs, so I was nervous about leaving her with a dog sitter. Hy met with us in advance and was extremely patient and understanding of Neko’s issues. She understood the need to keep Neko away from other dogs and was so gentle and sweet with her. She was great at communicating and sent plenty of pictures and updates during Neko’s stay. I’m planning to leave Neko with them again this summer and know she will be in good hands!”
“Inkoo was incredible with our dog Koda. He had the time of his life with her and her dog Freya, who he instantly bonded with. It was our first time being away from our new pup and Inkoo was diligent and very communicative, providing updates on any changes or questions, and sharing sweet photos throughout the week. It was a relief to know he was in such good caring hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“I've been booking Bobo since I downloaded Rover and she has been amazing. She is usually available when I need her to watch my son. Her and her husband love watching my son and playing with him. She walks daily and feeds on time.”
“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!”
“Stephanie took incredible care of Issra and communication couldn’t have been easier. It’s hard to leave my pup so getting the pictures and updates made it so much easier. Would highly recommend!”
“Golda was a great caretaker for our hyper-active labradoodle! She worked to tire Ginger out with endless ball-throwing (what she lives for). This was the longest I have ever boarded her so was worried about her. Golda sent daily updates & photos which calmed me down quite a bit! And, of course, it rained heavily on 3 of the days with Golda; but she still managed to exercise Ginger in the rain. Would be very comfortable having Ginger with Golda again!”
“Aida took excellent care of Bamse and gave him plenty of attention and walks through out the day. She also communicated well with us and gave updates and photos. I definitely recommend her to other dog owners!”
