“Leaf always has a good time at Lauren’s and enjoys playing with her dog Kota. He has stayed there for a dog sitting day and overnights. He comes back tired and happy.”


“Outstanding! Alan and Luis provided extraordinary care for our Black Lab mix Annie while we were on vacation for a week. They are truly the best! Compassionate, friendly, caring, trustworthy are just a few words to describe Alan and Luis. The house is beautiful with a gated fence and a "kiddy pool". Annie truly enjoyed her stay and playing with the other guests as evidenced by her disposition when I picked her up and the the daily photos. I will always check first with Alan and Luis in the future when I need a sitter for Annie.”

“Patrick and Susan provide a 10/10 service. They took our dogs on fun walks every day. Took plenty of photos to send with comprehensive daily updates. They treated our dogs like their own and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet services. We would trust them again in the future without hesitation”

“Katie and her family were AMAZING!! We needed a last minute sitter and they couldn’t have taken better care of our girl. We got multiple updates and lots of pictures which put us at ease. Katie’s girls were super cute with Bear and she enjoyed all of the extra pets and attention. We’d 100% recommend Katie to anyone and look forward to having her watch Bear again in the future.”

“Dexter had an amazing time with Liz! We were a bit apprehensive because he's a little guy who can be nervous around larger dogs, and Liz was watching 2 big friendly dogs the same weekend. Luckily, Liz coordinated a meet and greet with all 3 dogs beforehand and it went great! We got lots of happy pics of Dexter while we were away, and were so happy that he obviously got as much attention as he did. Needless to say, Dexter came back happy and healthy. We definitely hope Liz is free next time we need a dog sitter, and Dexter hopes so too.”

“Betsabeth created such a warm and welcoming environment that I was genuinely happy to leave my dog in her care. At first, I felt a bit nervous about trusting someone I didn't know well, but once I met her, my worries eased greatly. Throughout Diego’s time with her, she kindly kept me updated with photos and shared thoughtful insights about how he was doing, which truly put my mind at ease.”

“Dash had a wonderful week long stay at Renata’s home. Plenty of exercise and outdoor time on their beautiful property on the lake. Would absolutely trust to take care of our dog again in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Kathryn & Jeremy were great! Their house was cozy and friendly. Our corgi loved playing with their kids and he was definitely tired when he got home. They were great at communication and we felt our dog was safe. Will book with them again!”

“Allison was exceptional. She took wonderful care of my little pal, and provided helpful updates with fantastic pictures/movies. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Kristin as our dog’s pet sitter! This was their second stay with her, and when we knew we were going out of town, there was no question—Kristin is the one we wanted to care for them again. She is incredibly attentive and caring, always making sure they’re comfortable and happy. We loved the regular updates she sent throughout the day; it’s clear how much she loves animals and how dedicated she is to providing them with the best care. Highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a reliable, loving pet sitter.”

“Summer is the best of the best. She took such good care of our two pups and when one of our pups arthritis started to act up, she loved him and took care of him like he was her own. She was absolutely incredible and we will most certainly be rebooking and I would highly recommend Summer to watch anyone’s pups.”

“Russ and Janet are great. Sophie was in 7th Heaven with them. Walked and played with and cuddled. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Having just moved to the area, we’re thrilled to now have a go-to sitter for our pooch.”

“Christle is a truly kind and caring person who took excellent care of my dog for 17 days. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and the experience couldn’t have been better. I wholeheartedly recommend Christle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend.”

“Brittany was great. She kept us up to date with pictures and videos. Our dog seems very happy with her and was perfectly fine when we picked her up. We would use Brittany again without hesitation.”


“Ricky and his family provide the best care for my girls! They are extremely loving, caring and flexible! I am so appreciative always for the love they give my girls! ❤️🐾”

“My dog was well cared for at Patricia’s. She has a nice clean home with a good set up for dogs. The backyard was fenced in and large. My dog is a little nervous, so placed with a lot of dogs is not good. Patricia limits the number of dogs she cares for at two, so I know my dog will get the attention she needs.”

“Ifan was wonderful and very responsive. He sent a picture each day of our dogs and it was reassuring to see that they were happy and healthy! He learned their personalities very quickly and the dogs seem like they had a wonderful time. Would definitely recommend and will be a return customer!”

“Melissa did a great job watching our cat Mabel. She sent detailed updates with photos and videos. She can be shy and hide under the bed, Melissa was able to get her out to play and be pet. She seemed happy and well cared for!”

“Kaylee did a great job taking care of my fur babies. She took the time to check and see that they were all okay daily. Food and water filled daily and litter box cleaned daily as well. She spent time with them playing and giving them the human interaction they needed on a daily basis.”


“Erin was incredible with my cat Fig! I don’t think I could have found a better sitter for my spunky girl. I am so appreciative she took such good care of her! First time being away and I was at ease the whole time! Thanks again !!”


“Eve has checked in on my cat for me several times and always does a fantastic job! Especially, this time when the normal routine had changed due to some health changes. I feel secure leaving her to look after Grace, who always has a fun time playing with Eve!”


About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and have watched cats for family members on multiple occasions. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. Whether your cat is social and playful or more independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Ashely was wonderful! Took great care of my two cats. Sent cute pics of meal time and getting scritches. Would highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her again when I travel.”


“Lesa was great with my fur baby! We had a meet & greet and my dog took to her right away. This was our 1st time leaving our dog alone overnight & we were nervous. Lesa was great communicating with us & keeping us up to date with how she was doing & sending us pics. We will definitely have her look after our fur baby again!”

“Renata was incredible with our 3 month old cat. She sent pictures and videos daily and was very pleasant. It was clear she really cared and made us feel very comfortable. We'll absolutely using her services again!”

“Ana did a fantastic job with the boarding of my 2 kittens. She sent frequent updates, and every photo showed them looking happy and relaxed, which was a pleasant surprise because they’ve been pretty nervous meeting new people. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely kind with their pets!”


“Andrea is great! She communicated throughout the entire process. She kept me informed on how everything was going. She sent pictures showing her interaction with Snuggles. Although, she wasn’t booked to care for the cat, she notified me of his mischievous behavior. I will definitely book with Andrea again. Thank you Andrea!”


“Rachel was very helpful with my two cats and had great communication, and even called to ask if anyone had been in the house between visits when things didn't look the same (the cats had moved a curtain). Her diligence was greatly appreciated. Would certainly hire again.”


“Shannon V. is awesome & I would highly recommend her for cat sitting! Thanks again Shannon - knowing you were taking care of my kitty , Maggie, made being away on vacation so much easier!”

“Thank you so much for being patient w our Lily, Heather! We will definitely book again. You went above and beyond with communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better visit!”

“Sammy watched my dog Brody for a week. She showed up each day on-time and provided pictures and texts. I really felt like she did a good job with him as he can be difficult to warm up to people when we aren’t there. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”

“Lauren is fantastic. She’s dependable, clearly loves dogs, and takes great care of them at daycare. My pup always comes home happy and tired from a great day. Highly recommend.”

“Kristen- Such a blessing to have found you for my baby girl! Thank you so much! I don’t want to write the beyond-glowing review you so deserve because Kahlua (not me 😇😉) wants to keep you all to herself!”

“We are so grateful for the care Russ and Janet give Dallas! They are so accommodating and they care about him which allows me to be worry free while he is with them. Thank you both!”

“Hannah was great, she kept me updated and sent me photos/ videos to show me how much fun my puppy had. It was nice to see Reese with his new dog friends Wolf and Connie 😊 She has a very large backyard with so much room to run and play. I will definitely be bringing Reese back again.”

“Paul is amazing with my dog and has always been flexible and supportive of what we need. My dog gets tons of enrichment when with him and I would recommend him without hesitation”


“Ricky took my puppy for a semi last minute daycare visit. It was her first time staying somewhere without me, and she had lots of fun and came home happy. Ricky was very responsive and sent a video in addition to pictures. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“We’ve been looking for an alternative to commercial daycare because our dog used to come home completely exhausted. With Janelle, we picked him up happy and relaxed, and I know he’d been well cared for all day, which made such a difference! She was very communicative and friendly, and we’d happily book with her again.”

“Renata is so wonderful! She is quick with communication, super sweet, and takes such great pictures during the day. Gracie is so so happy after spending the day with her and Forest. She treats my pup like her own!”

“Brittany was awesome with Luna. I was a little nervous to leave Luna with someone. I felt comfortable leaving Luna with her as soon as I dropped her off. She kept me updated with pictures. My dog loves her. Luna came home happy, tired, and full.”

“Christle has been a Godsend. She is amazing, kind & a wonderful dog sitter. My Harmony LOVED going there! She was treated with kindness & when she got home she was tired from playing. I absolutely recommend her as your furry companion will be in great hands!”

“Dani was amazing! Took my dog to her 3x and she was excited each time. Photos and updates were sent without asking. I would definitely book anytime to take care of my fur baby. I highly recommend.”

“I dropped off my giant white rescue pup with Nazim and we could not have been happier. He sent videos of my pup having an outrageously fun romp in his fenced in yard. My whole family cheered when they saw what a good time was being had by all. Nazim is professional and clearly loves dogs. I, and my dog highly recommend him!”

“Jennifer is a sweetheart. She brought Lola right outside when I pulled up. She gave me photos and videos. My dog was so tired when I picked her up I can tell she had a great time cause when Jennifer turned around to leave Lola tried to follow her 😂 I will definitely use her again!”

“Lisa was the best dog sitter. She was friendly, kind, and communicative. She helped us out so last minute. She took great care of our little Hunter. This was my first time using rover and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone. She responded to my concerned mom texts and sent pics of our pup hanging out outside. Hunter was smiling, happy, and seemed worn out after his stay with Lisa. We cannot thank her enough for all her help. Thank you so much Lisa!!!!! ?”

“Miss Megan is great! JJ loves going to visit whenever we’re in town and I feel so confident that he is safe and happy with her. She does a great job keeping him quiet and calm until I come back. Thank you, Miss Megan ♥️”

“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.”

“Wonderful dog walkers. Pat was critical to helping me successfully interview for a job (including full days of Zoom) without whiny dogs in the background and was highly responsive and flexible in scheduling. We are looking forward to boarding our dogs with them and only wish they had greater availability (but of course, top dog walkers/boarders are busy!).”

“Kaylee walked my dog daily while I was on vacation. She was prompt, professional and gave my dog a little extra TLC every day. She sent pictures and daily updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee!”

About: I've surrounded by domestic animals since I was very little growing up in a farm. As an adult I always had a pet and took care of family and friend's pets. I run an online business and I am home most the time. I will have plenty of time to watch and take care of your pet. I lived with my husband in a very large house and a fenced backyard. Plus a have a friendly medium side dog who loves other pets. He would be a great companion for your furry baby.
“Isabel is excellent! She came over to meet the dogs in advance and left me with a ton of confidence that my dogs would be well taken care of. She provided constant communication including when she arrived, if they went to the bathroom, if she gave them treats (which I gave her permission to do), and when she left. I will definitely ask her to walk the dogs again!”

“Paul is a wonderful addition to my dog’s routine! I was scrambling to figure out what to do on my 12 hour days with my newly adopted rescue female pit mix when classes started this Fall. After reviewing a few profiles, Paul’s really stuck out as someone with both passion and genuine knowledge about dogs/dog behavior. I asked him to come meet my dog before we officially booked to ensure that she reacted well to him. Within the first few minutes, my dog was on her back requesting belly rubs. Needless to say, they hit it off! I feel very comfortable with Paul and SO pleased with how happy my dog looks in the pictures I get from their weekly walks. Even when she refuses to go outside in the rain, he spends time hanging out with her so she still gets some attention. I couldn’t be more appreciative and I’m sure my dog would 100% agree!”

“Priscilla saved the day accepting my request at very short notice. I had a 12 hour shift to work and no coverage for Louis. Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.”

About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I volunteer with Our Companions in their Adopt a Shelter program spending time visiting and walking dogs in local shelters, and I have volunteered at their animal sanctuary in Ashford walking dogs. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.

About: Since I can remember I have always been around dogs and cats in my life, mostly rescues, who needed training and caring for. I currently pet sit for my family when they are away, and walk dogs for family friends. When I was a professional cleaner I encountered all breeds and ages of cats and dogs every single day so I am very comfortable around all types of pets. I especially love and have experience with pitty breeds as well as experience with some reactive cats and know what to do to gain their trust. When not taking care or animals, I am a freelance dancer and choreographer! I take dance class some evenings and may have a weekend show or rehearsals. Other than that, I am readily available especially during the morning, afternoons, and later in the evenings/overnight for your furry friends! Before we officially book, I will make sure we have a meet and greet so that your pet can get to know me as we talk about all your needs for my visit! Along with any of your pet's special needs, I will ask you to leave me with any emergency contact information just in case anything were to happen, as well as my personal contact info. I also will send you updates for your peace of mind as well as some adorable pictures of your pet(s)!
“Phoebe was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she works with. She kept me updated with great notes and pictures, and I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of every step of the way. It’s such a relief finding someone you can truly trust, and Phoebe exceeded expectations. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Katie helped me out tremendously when I had to find a pet sitter to walk my dog Kava last minute, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was responsive, professional, and so kind. She was truly a life saver and I felt confident that Kava was in good hands.”


About: I have grown up with a family dog all my life and now have my own! I have loved and trained him since he was a puppy and consistently receive compliments on how he is such a good boy and how well-behaved he is! I have always enjoyed taking care of doggos for family and friends and am very excited to help take care of yours! I am very good with dogs of all ages including young puppies in their teething and potty training phase to senior dogs who want cuddles and sniffs. I am available for house sitting and will spoil your pet with attention, play time, and walks while you are off enjoying your vacation or trip. I am also available for drop-ins and walks! You can count on me to keep your pets safe and happy :-) I have a very flexible summer schedule and can keep your pets on the their typical routines! I am happy to follow any special instructions you have your doggo! Every pet is unique and my goal is to take care of your pet as you would so you can be care-free while you are away and sleep easy knowing your pet is in good hands. You can trust me to keep your pets safe and your home exactly as you left it. I will treat your home as if it was my own, just like your pet.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.
“Samantha was on time very morning to walk our dogs, was great about staying in touch with updates and photos. She was also super patient with our one pup who has been healing from a wounded shoulder so could/would only walk short distances. She was flexible and adaptable to make sure she still got attention. We were able to relax during vacation knowing Samantha was there every morning for our doggos.”


“Milo had such a great experience today! 😊 Paisley was incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly cared about him. She made sure he got everything he needed, followed all of my instructions, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoy working with dogs, and Milo came back happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and will be continuously using her walking services. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy!”

“Amazing!!! Kept me informed the entire time I was away. Sent me pics of Naz and updated me on how he was doing. How he was sleeping and eating. Even down to when he would go outside. I’d recommend 1,000%”
