“Ari, Alice’s daughter, was great! Very communicative and worked with us to make sure our dog Possum took his meds. He came back happy and healthy!! Would definitely have them watch him again next time we come to town.”
“Anna & Tyler were so great! We’re so glad we found them on Rover. They both listened to our concerns about our dogs prior to their stay. We loved seeing the daily photos and updates. They were so easy to get ahold of and assisted with whatever concerns we had. Our dogs loved staying with them! Will definitely be looking to book again in the future.”
“Araceli was very responsive to our messages and sent updates that included videos and pictures of our pups. She took very good care of them. They had a wonderful time and came home exhausted.”
“Katie is wonderful and treated our dogs Molly & Griffin awesome. I was thinking that the two of them were not going to want to come home with us when we picked them up. Thank you Katie for the care and the sharing of photos of them while we were traveling. Katie is highly recommend from us and our two pups.”
“Geri was the best! Don't be fooled by her stern-looking profile photo; she is anything but! Super stylish and kind, with a huge heart. Our Roxy was very happy with her stay with Geri, and her home is beautiful, and every detail was accounted for in making it super doggy friendly. Her lil pup is also very sweet and got along very well with our picky, not-usually-a-dog-person dog, Roxy, which says a lot. Anyway, look no further, we highly recommend choosing Geri for your doggy needs!!”
“We had such a great experience with Brandon and Billy! It was my first time using Rover and they made the process super easy and reassuring. We got updates often and very quickly. I know my dog had a blast too and she can’t wait to go back!”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“I booked a two-week vacation and needed someone truly special to care for my dog, Ella. Most kennels in the area have no dog limits and don’t separate by size. Not the right fit for my sweet, slightly bougie girl! Matthew offered the perfect blend of comfort, safety, and home-style care. His house is pet-friendly and charming, with a doggy door to the front patio and another to the back, so Ella could choose where to lounge. He limits the number of dogs he watches, sent regular photos and updates, and was wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Ella looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. It gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend Matthew more highly, and I’ll definitely be rebooking with him in the future!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful first experience using the Rover app thanks to Edgar and his wife! They took amazing care of our golden doodle, Milo, and truly went above and beyond to put us at ease. From the start, their communication was excellent — they kept us updated throughout the day with thoughtful messages, photos, and videos, which really helped us feel connected and reassured. Milo looked happy, relaxed, and completely at home in every update, which speaks volumes about the love and attention he received. It’s clear that Edgar and his wife are not only reliable but genuinely passionate about caring for dogs. We couldn’t recommend them enough and definitely plan on booking with them again in the near future. Thank you both for treating Milo like part of your family!”
“We can't say enough good things about Louise! She took Raymond into her home and right from the first meeting, we knew he was going to be in the best care. He can be a bit pushy with other dogs but she let him play with her Lacey and they both had such a good time. Louise sent daily updates and photos and we didn't worry about him at all knowing he was in a great place. We highly recommend Louise if you're looking for the best in pet care!”
“Katie took great care of our dog Lola. She had lots of play time with other dogs and enjoyed her time there. Katie sent us updates with pictures every day. Can definitely recommend her!”
About: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!
“Bandit really enjoyed his stay with Ken once he came out of the bushes. Guess he was quite timid at first but then became the fun entertaining terrier that he is!! Will definitely have Ken take care of Bandit in th future.”
“If there were 10 stars to give I would have done so gladly! Joy is an absolute dog whisperer. My wife and I went out of town for a few days and we needed to leave our 6 month old puppy with someone. Boarding him in a confined area along with a cage was just not anything we wanted to do. We checked on Rover in our area and up popped Joy. And we are so glad she did. We scheduled a meet and greet and signed up for the dates we needed after our meeting. We still had our reservations about leaving our dog with someone since he is only 6 months old. Those fears were short lived as soon as we saw how Joy handled our dog when we dropped him off on our date of departure. Shortly thereafter we started receiving photos and videos of our little fur buddy and with each photo we could see how he was getting more comfortable in his new surroundings. And we were getting more comfortable along with him. Periodic updates during the day and up until his bedtime kept us relaxed and confident that we made the right choice. We will not hesitate to utilize Joy's services and recommend those services to others. Do yourself a favor and at the very least call Joy for a meet and greet before you make a decision. You will be glad you did and you will save yourself a lot of time and energy. We will gladly and comfortably use Joy in the future.”
“Alan and Joe were fantastic, and my dogs loved being there. I was nervous, as they’ve never stayed away from home, but Joe and Alan made them feel right home and calmed my nerves. We may have found our go-to sitters.”
“My dogs had a very pleasant stay with Sierra. She sent us pictures and updated us on how they were doing daily. I have no reservations in recommending her if you are looking for a sitter for your dog.”
“Mary is exceptional. She was able to accommodate us last minute when other options to board our doodle fell through. She was kind and gentle which helped to reduce anxiety for us an our pup. She graciously welcomed our dog into her home and gave us price of mind to enjoy the event we had planned.”
“Mike was a great sitter for Chapo. He sent us pics and kept us updated. We will definitely be using him in the future. Thank you Mike for taking such good care our boy!”

“Jose is a fabulous pet sitter. I was impressed with his communication with us while we were out of town. I felt very comfortable with him taking care of our cats. He’s very responsible!”
About: As a pet owner myself I know how difficult it can be to get away without worrying about our pets and sometimes it just not always possible to take our babies along with us. I'm here to offer my services in making sure yours receive the same great level of love and care while you are away.

My proffesional experience includes working as a veterinary assistant for three years. I am available anytime so feel free to contact me and we'll get your pets taken care of!
“Karaleah offered a meet and greet which made me feel that much more comfortable. We've been doing some short stays before my two weeks long trip this summer and I'm confident we'll do great. She has been patient with my scaredy cat who takes sometime to warm up to strangers. Karaleah is reliable and listens to requests and suggestions on how to tend to my cat needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets! From fish to birds to dogs, I love them all. I have experience taking care of puppies and also senior dogs, like my pup of 14 years.

I’m available most days and am fully willing to work with your schedules! My home is fully fenced in front and back yard so no worries about unwanted friends. I’m comfortable with adapting to what makes your pet comfortable, may that be more quality time, enrichment, outside time, or whatever they may need.
“Such a relief finding Jessica! My husband and I recently moved to the Valley and have been looking to find reliable options when we go out of town to babysit our 2 cute young cats. We don’t have human babies so these are truly our babies! I immediately felt comfortable with Jessica and I could tell our girls were comfortable too. Our home was left tidy and I’m sure Mavis and Margaux appreciated having a loving sitter while we were gone. Looking forward to booking again ?”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t thank Holly enough for stepping in at the last minute to take care of our pets! She was incredibly understanding and accommodating with our sudden trip, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. We really appreciated how attentive she was to all of our pets’ needs and how she kept us updated with messages and photos—it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Everything was perfectly handled, and our pets were clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!”
“Amberleigh came to watch my cat over the weekend, and when I got home my cat didn't scratch my eyes out, which means she was happy and well taken care of! Amberleigh sent pictures and updates and even made sure the house heater was on so my cat would be comfortable. Thank you!”

“Thank you Costner!! Wonderful communication, felt so safe leaving our kitty in his care. Great photo updates, next time we need pet sitting he is our go to choice! Thanks again! 🥰”
“Cesar is amazing!! He took care of my three cats while we were out of town for our wedding, over the past 9 days our kitties were in great care with Cesar’s drop in visits! He went above and beyond our expectations. Truly kept the litter boxes clean and swept around them! He changed their food and water and made sure they were safe! Cesar is trust worthy and respectful! He kept us updated throughout the whole process, sending us lots of loving photos and even keeping us updated on the weather! He is soo kind and truly loves animals, we have gold fish here too, even thou we were feeding them pebbles with the automatic feeder he noticed the fish and added some bounce flacks when he visited (out of the kindness of his heart). SO NICE! If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Cesar he is very knowledgeable and caring, he followed every step I gave him and went beyond that. He even offered to have a free meet and great so the animals could get to know him! SO THOUGHTFUL. unfortunately my tight schedule wouldn’t allow it but, it’s the thought he puts in that counts! Thank you so much Cesar you are a true blessing to us and our animals! Until next time! 💕”
“Very satisfied with Shayna! She is dependable, and very loving! When we came home from our trip our kitty was happy! This means he was well taken care of! I would use Shayna again...Thank you Shayna!”
About: I've cared for dogs of all ages (horses too!) since I was a kid. My dogs are seniors so I understand their particular needs well. I'm currently freelancing from home part-time and will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Walks are part of boarding, of course. I have a fenced yard and two friendly, calm dogs to keep your pets company. I give my dogs homemade organic treats and will adhere to all rules you have about play, treats, walks, etc.
About: Hello I’m Ashley!! I am a huge animal lover and I have such a soft heart for every single one. I grew up in a small town and with not a lot money but I always somehow managed to find a stray cat to take home. I could never leave a cat or dog my heart will not let me and I’d always take them home till I found there forever home. I say kitty sanctuary because the amount of times I found cats or kittens and took them home! We didn’t have much growing up but I gave my all to my pets and even got my first job at 14 working at a snackbar for a baseball field and everything I made always went to getting food and extra food for the kitties I’d find. We had one dog growing up and sadly gave him away but I love dogs just as much!! The last two years I have dog sat for my neighbors who go on a few trips and I’ve been told I’m very attentive and friendly. I also watch my best friends cat for her every time she goes out of town. You can rely on me to keep things tidy, daily feeding, fresh water, picking up poop and I’ve had a sick cat before so I can do medications as well! I’m a very happy and big hearted person it’s just me naturally so you know your animals will be getting all my love and attention. I can assure you that your pets will be in very good hands and I will do all the basics and requirements you ask. Your home and pet will be given the same respect and care that I take with my own valuables. I have one part time job so I have a lot of availability to help out!! I’d be so happy to take the stress of leaving your pet and ensuring they are in great hands. I have one part time job so most of the week I’m free and I’m available every evening and night after 6pm! I usually only work mon- wed but I can always work around and figure it out. Id prefer your pets to stay home since they are typically more comfortable when they are in they’re own home and I want to make sure your pet feels happy an safe! If you needed for them to stay with me we can talk about it and I just have one little kitty with me who loves all animals just as much as me!

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.
“Anna was great! She was super accommodating to our change in schedule. Scrappy had a great time at her house and was definitely well taken care of. We'll definitely book again with her when we're back in Idyllwild!”
“Alice and her daughter were so great and really took great care of my dog Lucia! I love that someone is always home with the dogs they care for since my pup gets nervous sometimes. Thank you for the wonderful experience”
“Katie was extremely caring and calming for my dog. My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety and is quite particular about who she will stay with - I am also a “helicopter dog mom”. Katie was able to quickly calm her, show her love and cuddle her. Katie was kind and sent me frequent updates and pictures. I plan on having Katie watch my dog whenever I need a sitter and implicitly trust her!”
“Jackson was so helpful when I needed a last minute doggy daycare situation. Denali loved being at his house! Jackson was very communicative and took great care of him. I will be using him again.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, horses, and an entire 'ark' of farm animals. I offer pet sitting in my own home. I can take more than one dog if they are from the same owner. I currently do not have pets so my time is entirely devoted to your pet. I also offer care for your home should you need someone to drop in to water plants, view property, and gather mail. Happy to meet you and your pup for introductory welcome. "I currently enjoy a fully flexible schedule, making me available whenever you need me most — including last minute requests, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need recurring visits or spontaneous coverage, I am ready and happy to help." "Your pet receives attentive, loving care in my home with regular walks and potty breaks. I follow your exact routines, schedules, and habits while adding an extra layer of love."
“Bobby always has a blast with Matt and his pack. There are usually a couple dog pals for him to play with and he’s always beaming after his visits. Matt takes good care of our furry babies and is flexible when it comes to scheduling. Would definitely recommend!”
“My husband works remote and had to travel for a conference pretty abruptly, so I was looking for doggy day care just a few days in advance and Katie was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Kugel had a great time and I know we’ll come back to Katie again!”
“Just the kindest and supportive dog caregiver. My dogs loved her care and were happily jumping up to get into her car. Louise picked them up and dropped them off. I was so grateful for her service as I had to attend a board weekend retreat. Book her and your dogs will be grateful and well taken care of by Louise.”
“We are happy to find Geraldine. She has a dog friendly home with secure outdoor space. Bliss was worn out by lots of running and playing with little Reese. We will be back!”
“Ken and his partner took such wonderful care of our two small dogs. We got regular pictures and updates throughout the weekend and our girls came home happy. Thank you! We’ll book with you again!”
“Eric was amazing with our dog! Took him on walks and sent a bunch of updates throughout the day. Provided supplies and had a very nice yard. Will definitely use Eric again as a sitter!”
“I've never left my new rescue dog with anyone and I didn't think he'd do well with a lot of dogs at a normal day care because he can get overwhelmed and defensive. Judith is a dog person. She understands them and was a great sitter. Once Goedy and her dog got to know each other they played and wrestled all day! I felt very comfortable knowing he was in a safe place and also having fun. Would 1000% leave my pup with Judith again.”
“Jennifer was an amazing dog sitter for Coco. Jennifer’s dog, Stella, was playful, and the two dogs got along wonderfully. It was great knowing Coco had a fun companion to play with. I can tell Jennifer was very attentive and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I could tell Coco was well loved and cared for. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Kevin was amazing. Our Italian Greyhound, Enzo - is very particular who he is comfortable to be around. Kevin was an instant magnet. During Enzo's stay with Kevin, we received photos, videos and updates. The entire time, Enzo was happy, full of energy and wanted to play. At the end of Enzo's stay, he was exhausted (which is awesome). Kevin is a highly recommended for any pup care needs. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Kevin!!”
About: I had a golden retriever for 13 years that I lost last year. I love animals with all my heart and would love to spend as much time with all pets as a I can. I cared for and trained my dog his whole life, especially in his old age before his passing. I also have babysat for many years, and have experience with kids and pets alike as a result. I’m a college student at USC working a remote internship while I stay with my parents this summer. As a result, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and would love to work with you to create a working schedule! We have a fenced front/backyard with a pool. If you would like, I can keep your pets only in the front yard for playing if you would like them away from the pool. We have a large yard and a large house with plenty of room for your pet to play!
“This was the first time booking with Anthony. He responded to our request in a timely manner and was agreeable to take our dog on Thanksgiving day (that in itself was great). He was on time for a meet and greet, and was very knowledgeable about the care of dogs in general. We were instantly comfortable with him and our dog was too. The drop off, stay, and pickup were easy. We will definitely use Anthony again. Thanks for taking good care of our boy!”
“I highly recommend Reno as a pet sitter! Reno provided exceptional care for our dog with great responsiveness and communication, and even sent photos of our dog, who looked happy and comfortable. I would definitely choose Reno again in the future.😊 thank you so much for helping us out!”

“Amberleigh is great and my pups really enjoyed their walk. It's great having someone reliable and friendly that we can trust with our pups during our busy season.”
About: I’ve always loved animals since childhood, growing up with my parents always rescuing strays. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in dog care, focusing on comfort and trust. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my ability to make pets feel at ease through a comforting touch, a unique scent I wear to ensure they recognize me, and creating a calming environment where they feel safe and cared for. I also always make sure to send pet owners picture updates of their pets to ensure they’re doing okay and to always ask questions if I am unsure about anything. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I’m always available because I’m passionate about making pet sitting my full-time career. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just hanging out with pets, I love spending time with them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my life! In both my home and my clients’ homes, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I stick to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime, and I provide plenty of attention and affection. I always stay with them every step of the way, showering them with pets and ensuring they’re comfortable with me and their surroundings. I create a calm, stress-free environment, and if needed, I bring familiar items like toys or blankets to help them feel at home. My goal is to make sure they feel completely relaxed, loved and cared for!
About: I’ve worked with all types of pets, small and big, I 'm compassionate about animals and the unconditional love they bring to our lives. Whether it was a shi tzu to a german shepard to a lab, to a horse, I'm a true animal lover. Additionally, I took care of a friend until the end, he got Long-Term Covid in 2019 and died in Feb 2024. I also helped in my mother's care who had muscular dystrophy and my father, who had dementia. I'm a semi-retired entertainment publicist who spent the last 18 years in Los Angeles. After being a part-time resident in PALM SPRINGS since 2008, I'm now a full-time resident that truly loves the desert and no remorse from leaving LA. When I do work, I work from my home office so I'm always around. Also, if you are looking for an extended stays, please reach out to me for discount on mid-long term stays. Mainly by preference, I have my own personal preferences but whatever the Pet Parents want something specific, like no pets on the furniture or bed. Preference for using their own dog bed. I'm here to provide a service tailored to their needs.
About: I can address the unique requirements of large and small breed dogs. I provide specialized care for senior and advanced senior dogs, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and healthy. I work full-time but seasonally at a large local hotel and my hours vary. I have a very flexible schedule and can work around calendar based obstacles. I find that most animals actually like to stay in their own yard, but if need be, I do have decent sized back yard and it is secured by brick walls / concrete barriers.
About: I have owned 6 dogs through my lifetime, two boxers (Chica and Bella), one fox terrier (Jack), a black mouth cur (Kimber), A pit bull mix (Charlie) and a one eyed Chihuahua (Zoe). I also owned a couple of fish (Cheeto and Elvis) as well as a ferret (also named Jack). I worked as a kennel technician, groomer (I bathed, blow dried and clipped nails only, I did not cut hair) and a doggy daycare counselor as well! I know how to feed, water, walk, bathe, dry and give medications. My love for animals has always gone above and beyond, they deserve nothing less🩷 I have a lot of free time and a goal of starting dental school once I can afford it! If I can reach that goal by meeting and caring for your fur babies, it will be a blessing. I’m available anytime from 8:30 am to 10 pm any day of the week or weekend. I do ask for a 3-4 notice in advance for appointments (scheduling or canceling) please and thank you! For coming to a clients home, I always ask questions and for detailed instructions of pet care. I will follow the schedule, measurements and rules made by the owner to a T. I make sure dogs are being well supervised as well as lots of pets and play time! I am able to take them on walks, give them baths, play, crate and respect the dog (or cat) and owners boundaries. Side note: I cannot do boarding in my own home due to roommates and their pets.
About: I have cared for large, medium, and small dogs for 12 years. I also have cat care experience. I studied animal science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, so I can also care for livestock and various species of animals more than cats and dogs as well. I have a BS degree in Animal Science and Agricultural Science, a master's in Agriculture and currently working on my doctoral degree. Currently, Fall 2024, for my day job I am a high school teacher who teaches classes in veterinarian sciences, livestock management, plant science and horticulture, floral design, and landscape design. I am enrolled in a doctoral program and beginning my dissertation work. I would like to help care for pets to help relieve stress and offer help to fellow pet owners. I live up Highway 74 but travel to the Coachella Valley almost daily. I care for pets on my way to and from the Coachella Valley. I have a fenced backyard. Two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. I can crate. Can crate and walk as well as play every 2 hours. Reach out if you have specific requests.
About: I have had my own dogs since I was a new born. The first were big dogs. A golden retriever and a brittney spaniel. As of currently my family consists of 3 little doggies and a hognose snake. Rags is my wired haired Doxie, Archie is my Chihuahua terrier mix, and Tessa is relatively unknown but we think she’s a corgi mixed with a chihuahua. My hognose is named morty. I rescued that love bug from his very forgetful (previous) owner. I’m working part time and I also door dash, Uber, instacart. I strive for my ability to be independent. I usually work my butt off for three days and stay home with the animals for the rest of the week. I figure spending more time with my animals I’d be happier. I am happier. Animals are like a zen zone for me. They’re easier to talk to and be playful self with. I keep my dogs food and water replenished. For my neighbors dogs that I occasionally watch from time and time again dude to her surgeries, I make sure they go out every 3 hours and I don’t feed them till 8am and 6 pm every day.
About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I started watching my family friend’s and mutual’s furbabies and I love it! I’ve been caring for pets other than my own for about 3 years now. I am not working a job at the time so I am pretty open as long as I have some time in advance to clear! I feel very comfortable in going in to other people’s houses while respecting their space and caring for the animals according to their schedules. I have done this for several people before!

“Ari, Alice’s daughter, was great! Very communicative and worked with us to make sure our dog Possum took his meds. He came back happy and healthy!! Would definitely have them watch him again next time we come to town.”
“Anna & Tyler were so great! We’re so glad we found them on Rover. They both listened to our concerns about our dogs prior to their stay. We loved seeing the daily photos and updates. They were so easy to get ahold of and assisted with whatever concerns we had. Our dogs loved staying with them! Will definitely be looking to book again in the future.”
“We had such a great experience with Brandon and Billy! It was my first time using Rover and they made the process super easy and reassuring. We got updates often and very quickly. I know my dog had a blast too and she can’t wait to go back!”
“Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful first experience using the Rover app thanks to Edgar and his wife! They took amazing care of our golden doodle, Milo, and truly went above and beyond to put us at ease. From the start, their communication was excellent — they kept us updated throughout the day with thoughtful messages, photos, and videos, which really helped us feel connected and reassured. Milo looked happy, relaxed, and completely at home in every update, which speaks volumes about the love and attention he received. It’s clear that Edgar and his wife are not only reliable but genuinely passionate about caring for dogs. We couldn’t recommend them enough and definitely plan on booking with them again in the near future. Thank you both for treating Milo like part of your family!”
“We can't say enough good things about Louise! She took Raymond into her home and right from the first meeting, we knew he was going to be in the best care. He can be a bit pushy with other dogs but she let him play with her Lacey and they both had such a good time. Louise sent daily updates and photos and we didn't worry about him at all knowing he was in a great place. We highly recommend Louise if you're looking for the best in pet care!”
About: I did start taking care of pets when I was in junior high! I grew up with beagles; I think I’m a fourth generation beagle owner, and my dog Lear is truly a wonderful host . He adores everybody, and they all seem to love him, too. My backyard is essentially for the pups , several lounging areas for the perfect noon time sunbath. We also love the dog park. I’m a senior who spends majority of my time at home with my pups. Lots of attention and interaction , and backyard breaks . Pup heaven! I have a lovely fenced in backyard, and my own pups love sunning themselves all times of the day. I’m normally always home except for quick trips to the grocery store or an occasional lunch out ; otherwise I’m here , hands-on!
“Alan and Joe were fantastic, and my dogs loved being there. I was nervous, as they’ve never stayed away from home, but Joe and Alan made them feel right home and calmed my nerves. We may have found our go-to sitters.”
“My dogs had a very pleasant stay with Sierra. She sent us pictures and updated us on how they were doing daily. I have no reservations in recommending her if you are looking for a sitter for your dog.”
“Mary is exceptional. She was able to accommodate us last minute when other options to board our doodle fell through. She was kind and gentle which helped to reduce anxiety for us an our pup. She graciously welcomed our dog into her home and gave us price of mind to enjoy the event we had planned.”
“Mike was a great sitter for Chapo. He sent us pics and kept us updated. We will definitely be using him in the future. Thank you Mike for taking such good care our boy!”

“Maverique is young and very large. She loves people and other dogs, but is also excitable when entering a new situation. Breanna handled her very well and I am very pleased with her services.”
“Larry was awesome. Our dog was happy and well taken care of while we were gone. Larry had all our dog’s stuff ready to go when we arrived to pick him up, which made our travel day smoother.”
“Todd was exceptional! I have a rescue that hasn’t been left alone since I got her 2.5 years ago. Todd agreed to meet even before committing to a longer stay and it was great. He is a dog lover! He made my Maggie feel so loved and communicated with me throughout her stay. When we picked her up after her 3 day stay she was happy and showed zero signs of any changes whatsoever. It was clear that she was well cared like we would! Will definitely use Todd again. Very kind ❤️”
“Awesome with my older Great Dane! He loves going here. Megan is so sweet to try and comfort him when he gets anxious being away from mom & dad. We’ve used her a few times already and have another trip planned next month. We feel Cooper’s in excellent hands with Megan!”
“Viviana and her husband were the kindest and perfect dog watchers. Their home is very cute and you know from meeting them once that your dogs are in good hands. Good communication and ease throughout. 10/10 recommend.”
