“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
“Celia is a true dog lover. She took care of my sweet Chihuahua named Joy with love and care. It felt like I’m sending my baby to vacation spa. Celia communicate with me every day, twice a day and sent me pictures to reassure me of the well-being of my joy. I’m very happy and grateful to find such a great dog sitter. I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”

“Thank you, Allison, and the whole family! Beanie came home happy and healthy. Having pictures of Beanie playing with other dogs and hearing how he is doing was a tremendous relief. Allison cares about dogs like her own - thank you!!!! We will be back for sure ;)”
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”

“This was our first time booking on Rover and Stephanie made it such a breeze! I’m an anxious dog mom but she was great with our puppy and providing updates anytime I checked in! Mazapán loved her time with Stephanie and definitely would rebook with her in the future!”
“We recently hired Margerita to take care of our fur baby while we were away. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Margerita was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring towards our pet. She always updated us with pictures and videos whenever I asked her. It was very easy to communicate with her throughout the time she had our pet. It was really sweet of her to pack some treats in the bag when we picked him up. I can totally see that my pet was missing his two friends he made while living with her. I will definitely recommend her and will hire in future if needed.”

“Marissa is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our fur baby. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our pet. When we came home after our weekend away our pet was relaxed and happy. During our time away Marissa sent us photos and videos of our pet having fun with her own pets which was really nice and we felt relaxed and knew our pet is safe with her. I look forward to booking Marissa again in the future!”
“I genuinely cannot say enough nice things about Jennifer. She loves my dog as her own. I am so grateful to have found her. It’s hard to find a person to take care of your dog like their own; she is definitely a needle in a haystack. She has become our regular sitter when we are out of town.”

“MK took great care of my guinea pigs while I went away on a weekend vacation!! It was so great knowing that I didn't have to worry about pet care while away. It's even more great that there are people willing to care for other animals outside of the usual cat/dog - highly recommend this sitter!!”

“Margerita was great! She is clearly an animal lover! She was on time, took clear pictures of my two senior boys when they ate, and cleaned the cat box just like I requested (it fills up too fast to skip it, because kidney disease). She spent time hanging out so they got the human interaction that these two social cats crave. She has a very friendly and polite demeanor, and a flexible schedule that made it easy to come by at the times I needed her. I would hire her again!”

We appreciate her working around our late night pick up. She was nice enough to communicate and coordinate with me around her kid’s evening activities, which I appreciate a lot given the fact that I ended up being late for my original pick up time.”

Whether your pet needs a calm, structured environment, help maintaining routines, or just extra attention while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is to provide reliable, informed care you can feel confident in.
About: I provide safe, reliable, and loving care for your dog like they’re my own. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I’ve also rescued dogs and helped find them loving homes, giving me real hands-on experience with different temperaments and behaviors. Your dog will be in a calm, clean, and structured environment with: • A fenced yard for safe play • Daily walks and exercise • Lots of attention, love, and supervision • Experience with potty training and leash training I also have knowledge from veterinary assistant training, so I’m comfortable with medications and special care if needed. I understand how important your pet is to you, so I always keep communication open with updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is simple: To make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently an Esthetician that works from home so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pups. Plus my children and I take walks twice a day in my neighborhood. I have a fence in yard and a min dachshund to play with your furry friend. Can crate dog if needed. Dogs are allowed in my house if they are well behaved.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was raised around animals and treat them all like they are my own. I have experience with puppies, dog walking, and managing multiple dogs at one time. I currently work full time at a school but I like to take care of animals when I am free. I have a lot of time off and my weekend is open for any fur baby that needs me. I think trust is important when it comes to animals. Animals need to smell you first to get to know you. I always let an animal smell my hand and then I’ll ease into petting them once I can tell from body language if they want me to.
About: I am looking forward to caring for your pets! I grew up with very big dogs, German shepherds, Cane Corso, and Pitbulls, so I know how to properly give them the care they need. I am also great with small dogs and cats. The past couple years I have house sat and taken dogs on walks for many family members, I am now ready to offer my services to you 😊 I currently work from home so I have lots of time to give your pet the attention they need! Whether that is a long walk or pets inside I will always be sure to communicate effectively, send you updates and photos. I will be mindful and focused on your pet at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of my families dogs whenever they go out so I can be trusted to feed, play, and spend time with yours too. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time throughout the week. What better way to spend it than to be playing and caring for your pets while you are gone. I will make sure to always have them feed at their hours, spend time with them, play, interact and always make sure they feel comfortable in a safe environment.
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.
About: I know how important dogs need to be walked . And they need to be able to go outside as well. And just my love for dogs is remarkable. I also went to school for vet assistant. I would like to gain more experience with taking care of animals with this on the side would be awsome.. I love all dogs. My fave is yorkies. And I treat each pet like it is my own. I have had dogs all my life.. My parents have about 6 to 7 dogs at a time.. We had a rabbit, chickens, ducks, cats, pot belly big, fish, koi fish, tortise. You name it I just love being around all types of animals. Dogs are more my favorite. Depending on the dog also depends on what activities we will do. Go to the park out here and walk the track, play ball or frisbee.

“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
About: 15 years of experience with dog sitting/walking. Discount may be give to repeat customers. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and some Russian in case you have limited English and feel comfortable using one of those. I have taken care of old dogs, puppies, dogs small, large, and In between too. I’m extremely responsible with ensuring your pet receives their medication as needed, if needed. I love to walk, but tailor my services to your dogs needs. Want me to have them socialize with my dog, done. Want me to keep the dogs separate, I can do that too. Message me and let me know what you need! Something that separates me from others: I understand some dogs are just vocal and not aggressive. I have experience sitting extremely vocal dogs who most people would think are aggressive, but really they just like to bark. Please disclose if your dog is not good around children when booking! Thank you and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I don’t discriminate based on gender, gender expression, religion, age, sexual orientation, race, or for any other reason. I welcome and respect all people and dogs I am currently working from home with a dog of my own, this allows me to adjust my daily schedule to your pets needs. I go on daily walks so your dog will fit right in. I have a fenced yard and a dog for your dog to socialize, but also have room to keep them separate if preferred. Dogs are fed as much and as often as requested by owner along with the amount of potty breaks. If the pet is house trained they are also allowed to be in the home, I have house trained dogs so can help with that too. I love to give dogs treats so they can expect treats when they are over if approved by you!
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”

“We had a great experience with Taylor and Brian taking care of our dog, Kellie. Taylor’s background in a veterinary clinic made us feel very confident in her care. She clearly loves dogs and has a lot of experience, especially with fostering. Caring for animals is a natural calling for her. Kellie was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using them again for Kellie in the future!”
About: I have always been a dog lover as well as a dog owner. I am outgoing, responsible, patient and affectionate. I make sure I am caring for each dog properly for their needs and wants. I am able to exercise with the dogs and take them out frequently for potty breaks. I also now have 2 large breeds of my own and it has been a mostly fun and rewarding experience. They help me with my mental health and physical health. My family and I have so much fun dog boarding and I find it fulfilling to work as a dog sitter. Maybe I'll open up a unique pet services business one day 🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾 Pet care fits into my schedule when I am not working a full-time job. As I stated, I have 2 dogs of my own and spend a lot of time training them and taking care of their physical needs. In my own home and in a clients home I will care for your pets as if they were my own and follow the guidelines and notes that are given to me. I appreciate notes and advice from owners.
“Marissa is terrific! We were so lucky to have our black lab, Mora, stay with her for two weeks. Marissa updated us regularly with pictures and descriptions of events. She also greatly helped with Nora’s skin irritation. Thank you, Marissa!”

I definitely recommend and will reserve with Nestor again thank you Nestor!”
“My dog had her first overnight stay and it went well! My dog is usually a bit on the anxious side and was made absolutely comfortable. Very happy with the care my dog received. Highly recommend!”
