“My 2 greyhounds just got back from another great stay with Karina. They could not wait to see her when we dropped them off! We love seeing her daily updates and we know they are getting well cared for while we’re away. Highly recommend.”


“Alan and Luis take such great care of our Hiro. He now knows their house and gets so excited in the car when we pull up to the driveway he can barely contain himself. He does still act like a lab puppy, and tends to try to eat everything, but they have always been very patient and understanding with him. We trust them completely to take great care of our boy when we are out of town.”

“Brody loved his stay. He had ample time to run around with other dogs in the spacious backyard. We also received photos and videos each day to show how much fun he was having. We will definitely book here again!”

“MJ and Tyler were super responsive, very pleasant people to interact with, and Rosie seems to have had a great time with them. They sent lots of photos during her stay, which I loved. I plan on booking them again!”

“Katie and Storm make it easy. It's a very warm and welcoming environment. My pup Blue enjoyed his stay and seems very happy when we arrive. So glad to have found Katie. Good communication and she's obviously very experienced and comfortable with dogs. My new go to sitter ! :)”

“Enzo had a great time! Christle is very quick at replying back whenever I wanted updates and had questions. Sent videos and pictures throughout his stay with her! I was very pleased and comfortable leaving my 5month old puppy in her hands!”

“So excited to have found Allison Nicole. Sophie came back so happy from her stay. Allison provided photos and texts consistently while we were away, alleviating any fears we may have had as this is the first time we’ve hired her. Communication in the scheduling was great too. Pricing is competitive in the area. Would totally go back and absolutely recommend.”


“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

“First time leaving our dog with John, and he's a keeper. Excellent communications. Quick responses and regularly sent pictures and updates. Large fenced backyard for dogs to run and he has a playful dog that ours enjoyed. John is also friendly and seems very responsible. Highly recommend and we plan on turning to again.”

“Sean and Jill are great and Gwendolyn always looks forward to coming for a stay. I have a very tiny 4.5lb dog and very particular with whom I leave her with because of her size. I love the fact that they only take in small dogs as this tells me that they take the precautions needed to accommodate Gwendolyns size”

“Heather was fantastic! I needed a last minute booking and she and her family were superb. My pup came home so happy and content!! Thank you!! Would recommend Heather to everyone.”

“Oakley had a blast!! We could tell you just take such good care of Oaks like he was one of your own. We could not appreciate it any more, and was the best stay for him! We will be coming back with Oakley 1000%! We were updated with pictures all the time of our boy and could tell he was extremely happy! Thanks so much again, Oakley will be back soon!!”

“Haoran was absolutely amazing! She took care of my pup for five days and was incredibly attentive and patient the whole time. I really appreciated how she took the time to observe and learn about my dog’s personality to help her feel more comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and my very active dog got tons of exercise — she even went on a two-hour hike that she absolutely loved! When my pup ran out of food, Haoran kindly provided her own without hesitation. My dog can be pretty anxious, but Haoran and her husband showed such patience and genuine care. I’m so grateful for her passion for animals and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Estelle took excellent care of Frannie for the weekend. She was part of the family and I felt reassured and comfortable she was well taken care of and they enjoyed having her there. It is so nice to be able to leave town and not have to worry about your pet. Thank you, Estelle and family!”

“Karina and Jared did a great job looking after my 2 cats while we were away. Jared did the drop in visits to feed, water and scoop. Karina was available for any questions I had and provided help with the Rover scheduling. They kept me up to date on the cat care and were great with communication. Thanks!”
“Amanda was great! She was consistent and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Including taking care of cleaning the cat bowls and picking up after one of them got sick. She gave good updates. Would use again and recommend to others.”

“Hunter was great with our cat, who is usually very shy around new people. She was reliable and kept us up to date with photos etc. Would definitely recommend Hunter.”


“My husband & I hired Branden to take care of our cat, Mickey for 17 days. We instructed him to feed, scoop, and interact with Mickey twice a day. This was our first time using a cat sitter service. We are so glad we did! Branden did an exceptional job! He texted (with pictures) twice a day to keep us updated on Mickey. By the pictures he sent it looks like Mickey totally bonded with him too! He was very respectful of our home as well. I highly recommend Branden if you need cat sitting services. He’s now our Mickey’s go-to sitter! Thanks again, Branden. 😻”


About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my childhood and early adulthood, developing a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and compassion for animals. My experience includes feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and providing basic care. Living with cats over many years taught me the importance of consistency, attentiveness, and creating a safe, comforting environment for pets.

About: I am a frequent cat sitter of my boyfriend’s cats. I have been cat sitting for 2 years for other families, both indoor and outdoor cats. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet!
“Prompt, professional, a loving caregiver for our two cats. Mary asked insightful questions about their care and made sure she knew where treats, toys and other necessities were before we left. This is our first time having her sit and we’d love to invite her back”


“Last minute booking, last minute changes, special instructions, and it was totally managed by Katherine. She was so kind to my dog and sent great feedback and photos. She asked clarifying questions and responded to me promptly. She was fabulous. Highly recommend.”

About: I am a professional psychotherapist who works for myself. Caring for animals and others’ homes provides me a sense of connection to my community and is a way to help others—I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family at home and it’s something I know I do well. I have two pets myself—a caring and sensitive Australian Shepherd named John Prine Jr (who is training to be a therapy dog!) and a sassy and silly tortoise cat named Bonnie Raitt. I kept rabbits for 15 years and had and loved other dogs and cats that are no longer with us. I’m a responsible, experienced house sitter with plenty of experience caring for humans and animals. I’m communicative, caring, and work to be attuned to your home and pet care needs; I am comfortable with any number of tasks that pet-owning and pet-sitting involves. Specialities include rabbits (including medicine administration), as well as caring for elder and aging pets. I work for myself and remotely—I make sure my day has the needed flexibility to meet your pets’ needs. I have scheduled my own work schedule to meet the needs of my own furry family. I have excellent references and folks I’ve known for years whose pets and homes I’ve cared for. I follow directions well, ask clarifying questions if I need help, and am happy to assist if I can.
“Five stars all the way-just ask the cats! We hired Melanie to take care of our three cats upstairs and one cat downstairs. She completed daily in-house check-ins and feedings/cat box scooping. She was great with communication and very reliable. We felt 100% comfortable with her taking care of the cats and in our home. We have two cats that can be less than friendly and we were amazed that when they met Melanie for the meet and greet they were both friendly to her! Will re-book!”
“Great visits with Sky - gave him lots of love and attention and always made sure to keep us updated with pictures. Ensured he was fell fed and watered and always had a clean litter box....”

“Veronica and her brother Ian are an amazing team! They took great care of our 7 gerbils and 2 cats during our week-long summer vacation. They provided reassuring updates and some pet pics, which we really appreciated. We would hire them again without hesitation!”

“Karina was WONDERFUL! Our dog hasn’t been boarded a lot in her life, and has been nervous when she has, but she was comfortable as soon as we walked into the yard and so calm and happy when we picked her up! Karina was so communicative before and during her stay, and I appreciate how through she was with what to bring and making sure all the dogs in her care are up to date on vaccinations. We are so happy with our stay and will definitely bring our dog back!”


About: Hello and thank you for considering our services. Please take a moment to read our full profile, including important notes at the end. We are back to boarding pups after taking a few years off, but we are still just as dedicated to providing top notch pet care as we were when we started. Brief summary of what you can expect: We offer outside playtime morning, afternoon and night, frequent access to our large fenced in back yard, LOTS of hugs and kisses for all fur children and the occasional treat as well. Your pup will have free run or our home, sleep where they want and be treated as part of the family, which means they will be spoiled! However, we also respect any restrictions you have set so simply let us know. To help determine if your pup is a good fit. please note: - WE DO NOT TAKE AGGRESSIVE dogs under any circumstances - Unfortunately, we no longer take special needs dogs suffering from incontinence, sight or hearing impairments - We do not provide 24/7 coverage during weekdays and dogs may be left alone for roughly 4 hours a couple times during the week - All dogs must be able to navigate stairs to gain access to the backyard - We aim to be flexible with drop off & pick up times on weekends, but during the week hours are from 2:00 to 7:00 PM We are pet parents 24 hours and include the pets in all our activities. Thank you for considering trusting us with your pup ! Alan & Luis One of us works from home so typically there is someone home all day with our pups. Of course we leave to run errands and such, but our life revolves around our dogs.
“This was our first time using Angela and was very happy with everything! Great communication! Our pup seemed happy and tired after spending the day with Angela! Love the nice fenced in yard.”

“MJ and Tyler have been wonderful. We got a new puppy about a month ago, so we immediately started looking for care on the days of the week that we are not working from home. She immediately messaged me back and arranged for us to come over and meet them and their dogs ahead of time. They have been wonderful, our puppy clearly loves being over there and gets so excited in the morning when I drop her off. And she comes home tired and happy. It gives great peace of mind, knowing she’s well taken care of during the days we can’t be at home with her . 😊”

“I used Vanessa for the first time on Thanksgiving. She took really good care of little Milo. He can be shy, but he was very comfortable with Vanessa. I will definitely use her again.”

“Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.”

“Cruz Maria was so great with my dogs and with me! She is an expert dog person who catered to my dogs physical & emotional needs. I was in town for my high school reunion. Instead of boarding them for the weekend, Cruz Maria was flexible so that I could have them be in "day care" in the afternoon and evening. I was able to go to so many events for my reunion and still have my dogs with me at night. Thank you Cruz Maria!! You are the best!”
“Adrienne was Roo’s best friend for a day, and was everything I was looking for and more. Roo had a day full of adventures, and Adrienne sent us plenty of photos! We will definitely be return customers. Highly recommended!!”

“Wonderful experience! Anagha was very communicative before and during Lucy's visit. She sent messages and pictures throughout the day which gave me such peace with leaving our pup with someone new. Hoping that we'll get a chance to use Anagha again in the future!”

“This was the first time that I used Eric. Eric and his wife were wonderful with Milo. Eric let me know that Milo was doing well and also sent a picture. Milo came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Eric again.”

“Hoaran was so attentive to my pup and kept me up to date for the whole stay. She was extremely accommodating to last minute inconveniences in our travel. Kona enjoyed her stay and came home very fulfilled!! Will definitely book again!!!”

“Nazim is fantastic! He is professional, communicative, and calm. My dog Duke liked Nazim and the other dogs right away. The big fenced back yard and dog-friendly home made for a perfect doggie daycare experience. I appreciated receiving photos throughout the day, and a happy dog at pickup time. Highly recommend!”


About: Not only did I grow up around dogs (one of my own and many neighbors’ dogs who I helped sit for), but I am also currently a proud dog mom to five medium-to-large dogs who are my entire life, some of whom I’ve raised from 8 weeks all the way through senior-hood.

Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or calm companionship, I adapt to what your pet needs most.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and always have gravitated towards animals since I was a child. I have the most experience with dogs (from dachshunds to labs) but have watched cats from time to time as well. I will do everything in my power to give your pet the best care possible.

I consider pets to be apart of the family. I have always treated my pets with respect, along with asserting dominance as I am the owner. I always show my love and affection while making sure they know I am in charge.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a current dog owner to my energetic 1½-year-old dog, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, exercise, training reinforcement, feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have spent years caring for animals through my equestrian background, which has helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, attention to detail, and a calm, responsible approach to animal care. I have spent the last 5 years riding and training horses professionally am really passionate about all things animals ! Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work as a professional rider and spend much of my day caring for and working with horses, which has given me extensive experience handling animals and maintaining consistent care routines. My schedule can vary depending on training and horse show commitments, but I do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date and am often available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and secure while I’m with them. I’ve grown up around animals and currently work around horses, so I’m very used to reading animal behavior and staying calm and responsible in different situations. I bring that same mindset to every dog I care for.

“Alan and Luis take such great care of our Hiro. He now knows their house and gets so excited in the car when we pull up to the driveway he can barely contain himself. He does still act like a lab puppy, and tends to try to eat everything, but they have always been very patient and understanding with him. We trust them completely to take great care of our boy when we are out of town.”

“MJ and Tyler were super responsive, very pleasant people to interact with, and Rosie seems to have had a great time with them. They sent lots of photos during her stay, which I loved. I plan on booking them again!”

“Katie and Storm make it easy. It's a very warm and welcoming environment. My pup Blue enjoyed his stay and seems very happy when we arrive. So glad to have found Katie. Good communication and she's obviously very experienced and comfortable with dogs. My new go to sitter ! :)”

“Enzo had a great time! Christle is very quick at replying back whenever I wanted updates and had questions. Sent videos and pictures throughout his stay with her! I was very pleased and comfortable leaving my 5month old puppy in her hands!”

“So excited to have found Allison Nicole. Sophie came back so happy from her stay. Allison provided photos and texts consistently while we were away, alleviating any fears we may have had as this is the first time we’ve hired her. Communication in the scheduling was great too. Pricing is competitive in the area. Would totally go back and absolutely recommend.”


“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

“First time leaving our dog with John, and he's a keeper. Excellent communications. Quick responses and regularly sent pictures and updates. Large fenced backyard for dogs to run and he has a playful dog that ours enjoyed. John is also friendly and seems very responsible. Highly recommend and we plan on turning to again.”

“Sandra was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with, and I knew Otis was in great hands. He came home happy and relaxed after his stay. ✨”

“We just got our puppy about a month ago and was very worried about what we do with him for our already planned trip! Jaylese was very responsive. We booked a meet and greet and I was already so comfortable leaving my pup with her! We received daily pictures and updates!! I am soooo happy we went with Jaylese! She will be used for our pup in the future!!! Thank you for taking great care of our pup ❤️”

“Heather was fantastic! I needed a last minute booking and she and her family were superb. My pup came home so happy and content!! Thank you!! Would recommend Heather to everyone.”

“Contacted James kinda last minute. We met that evening and I dropped my dog off the following night. He must've had fun cause when I picked up up the following evening he was tired from all the playtime. Would definitely use again”

“My dog had a wonderful day with Manolita!! She’s so kind and caring and made us both feel comfortable! When I picked him up from his stay he was very comfortable and calm, which was a great sign! She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I loved! I highly recommend her!”

“Oakley had a blast!! We could tell you just take such good care of Oaks like he was one of your own. We could not appreciate it any more, and was the best stay for him! We will be coming back with Oakley 1000%! We were updated with pictures all the time of our boy and could tell he was extremely happy! Thanks so much again, Oakley will be back soon!!”

“Haoran was absolutely amazing! She took care of my pup for five days and was incredibly attentive and patient the whole time. I really appreciated how she took the time to observe and learn about my dog’s personality to help her feel more comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and my very active dog got tons of exercise — she even went on a two-hour hike that she absolutely loved! When my pup ran out of food, Haoran kindly provided her own without hesitation. My dog can be pretty anxious, but Haoran and her husband showed such patience and genuine care. I’m so grateful for her passion for animals and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“We are so grateful for the amazing care you gave our dog! From the very beginning, Careen were kind, reliable, and attentive to every detail. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving hands. We could tell our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Thank you for treating our pet like family — we highly recommend your dog care service to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!”

“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”
