“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“They did amazing with my semi rowdy Luna. I was updated everyday with lovely photos of her and her adventures! They accepted my last minute booking along with a meet and greet. It went as good as I could have expected plus more! I highly recommend and I will be booking in the future.”
“She is an amazing sitter and Prince had an amazing stay! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. The sitter was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I received updates and could see that Prince was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Prince! Her back yard is extremely spacious with plenty of space for dogs to play and burn some energy as well! I would 1000/10 recommend Christle!”
“Janelle and her family were wonderful caretakes of our puppy. She is very attentive to his needs and gave him a lot of attention and love. He is very happy there and we would highly recommend Janelle!”
“Stephanie and her husband were absolutely wonderful with Kiara! They were available last minute and were very flexible about when we could drop her off and pick her off. Thank you both so much for your help :) will definitely be booking again!”
“Melissa was very easy to deal with and our dog Sammy seems to have had a great time with her. Melissa gave us several updates on Sammy and sent us lots of pictures of her adventures. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone.”
“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”
About: I've lived with and taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Starting off in apartments where they needed to be walked. I've had my own dogs for the past 16 years. From puppies to seniors on daily medications, I've taken care of it all with my own doggos. We recently lost our doggy siblings, Tegan and Sara in May and July 2022 at 15.5 years old. We currently have a 6 month old rescue named Oswald. I love all dogs! I do not breed discriminate! I live on 3/4 of an acre with a 5' chain link fence surrounding the back yard. I also work from home, so I'm always here. With your permission, I may even take your pups on adventures while in my care! We do have a cat, but she owns the 2nd floor of our house (2 spare bedrooms), so it will not affect your pups stay as we will stay on the first floor. I work from home 9-5:30 M-F. Your baby will get to go out whenever needed in my fenced yard and I will give them love in small breaks during my own work day. They will not spend their days in a crate as I am here to keep an eye on them. I have a fenced yard. I do have a very dog and person friendly pup of my own who will be happy to play with your pup, too, as his favorite place is the dog park. We have few stairs that need to be climbed, 1-3 off our deck (we have a few entrances on the deck) that can be adjusted by closing deck doors as needed for seniors.
“Jessie, our Springer Spaniel, loved her overnight stay with Laura and her family. Jessie came home rested and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased. We have already booked Jessie’s next visit!”
“Loved Jennifer! She was awesome and met me in the park to introduce Cooper to some of the other dogs she was currently watching prior to the stay. She gave regular updates and did a great job with socializing Cooper with other dogs. She is a great photographer and put together an album of the week. Loved her and wouldn’t use any other sitter!”
“Alan and Luis took great care of our Maggie. We are planning a longer vacation in the near future. I wanted Maggie to have an opportunity to get acclimated before our longer trip. Maggie was only at Alan and Luis’ house for one night and I received multiple photos. It was so reassuring that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend them.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany and her family caring for our sweet boy, Warren. From the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Brittany is warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person who genuinely treats your dog like part of her own family. Throughout Warren’s stay, we received thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us he was not only safe but truly happy. It was clear he was getting lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. Brittany’s home felt like a calm, welcoming environment, and her family embraced Warren as if he’d always belonged there. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Brittany paid attention to his quirks and the small details that helped him feel comfortable, like a comfy couch and soft blankets. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, well-cared for, and honestly looked like he had just come back from his own little vacation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving to care for your dog, Brittany and her family are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them — Warren can’t wait for his next stay! 🐾💕”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”
“Rosmery was wonderful with our fur baby! I received many pictures and videos of Lana. Her and her family made feel our pup like home! Definitely, we will bring Lana back.”
“Katie and her family were wonderful sitters, giving updates and pictures daily as well as quick responses when messaged. They gave our dog lots of attention and cuddles, even bringing her with to their family Christmas! They also helped fill her stocking with toys and goodies, which our dog is still happily playing with. I would recommend Katie to anyone!”
“Britanny made sure my dog Riley got LOTS of love and attention. She sent daily updates with pictures that showed what a good time Riley was having. I definitely recommend her!”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”

“Shannon V. is a fantastic cat sitter! She’s a consummate professional, reliable, trustworthy & just a super nice human being! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur-babies.”
“Jenn took awesome care of our fur babies while we were away! Great communication and super flexible.Litter boxes cleaned and furballs were picked up. I forgot about my son’s aquatic dwarf frogs and asked Jenn last minute if she can feed them too and without hesitation she helped us in a pinch. Thanks again!”
“Tyler was great! It was our first time hiring a sitter for our girls and using Rover. Tyler was excellent with communication, and even came to our home twice before our first trip to confirm all of the instructions. Everyday he showed up when he was supposed to and gave a detailed report of how each visit went. He was extremely careful when entering and leaving our home as he was made aware that one of our cats was an escape artist. We were very comfortable having Tyler in our home taking care of our cats and he did a great job! We look forward to our next trip and hiring Tyler to come back. In the past, we've packed up our girls and stress them out to have a family member watch them in their space. Tyler allowed us to keep our girls in their own home with familiarity and in keeping with their same feeding schedule. Our girls were calm when we returned home and didn't skip a beat. I highly recommend Tyler's services!”
“Sarah took excellent care of our 2 cats. She bonded right away with our friendly guy and even got our shy one to let her pet him! We will definitely seek her help again in the future.”
“We're so grateful for Stephen and his amazing relationship with our cats, especially Pip! It is so wonderful to know that he is caring for him while we have to be away from them. Thank you!!”
“Giselle was great checking on our cats while we were away. She sent daily updates including video clips spending time, petting, brushing and interacting with our two kitties. I believe spending a half hour a day. We returned home to everything tidy and a fresh litter box. We very much appreciate it as we miss our guys when away and glad they got some special attention. Thank you!”
“Jacqi was a phenomenal sitter for our two rambunctions and playful young cats! She was really communicative and attentive, and Jimmy + Daphne gave her great reviews. You can feel 100% confident in her capable hands.”
“Dianna is friendly and was great with my pets. She kept me updated throughout her drop in visit and she was on time. She did everything asked of her and I will be rebooking with her.”
“Kyle did a wonderful job visiting, feeding and caring for our newly adopted trio of kitties while away for a long weekend. We’d highly recommend her, and are glad to know we can leave our fur babies in such capable hands.”
“Brianna is incredible! She comes every Saturday morning to help with our newly diabetic cat's insulin treatment. This requires some level of training to make sure everything is done correctly, and she has been really wonderful through that process. She already knows so much about administering medicine, and she is really easy to teach and talk through any nuance specific to our kitty. She cares for all kinds of animals and has such expertise, making us even more comfortable with her care. She is also more reliable than we could have ever imagined. Always promptly on time and always prioritizing our babies healthcare needs!”
“Kristen was very attentive and took great care of my cat. With not the best weather while we were gone, she made sure she could still get to him and take care of him while we were away.”
“Patricia, was fantastic! She took my (very, very, particular) instructions in stride and followed them perfectly. She was great with my (also very particular) cat, Misha, and even got her to play, which almost never happens with new people! She was super responsive during a very long trip and sent me the best photos anyone has ever taken of my cat as regular updates. I could not recommend her more! :)”
“Shannon did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She kept him entertained and gave very attentive care to him. She was prompt and reliable the entire time. And my cat loved to have her around! Will definitely book her again!”
“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!”
About: Cats have a special place in my heart. I’ve had several cats since I was a child and currently own my soul-cat. His ears and name (Enzo) are currently tattooed on my arm🤭 and he gives my soul life. I’d love to give your kitties so much love that they don’t even know you’re gone!
About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve personally owned and raised cats from kittens through their senior years, so I’m very familiar with how much their needs and routines can change throughout their lives. I have experience with kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, including providing end-of-life care for my own senior cat. I understand that cats can be very particular about their environment and the people caring for them, so I’m patient and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your cat is social and wants constant attention or prefers having their own space, I’m happy to adjust my care to what makes them most comfortable. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, refreshing water, litter box cleaning, playtime, giving lots of attention and affection, and keeping an eye out for changes in behavior or eating habits. I also understand how important it is to follow a cat’s normal routine as closely as possible, especially while their owner is away. As a huge cat lover who has had cats of my own for many years, I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I would want someone to give my own. 🐱❤️
About: I’ve been a lifelong cat lover and experienced cat owner, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or nervous cats and happy to let them warm up at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box care, grooming, and giving plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll follow your cat’s normal routine closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. ❤️🐈⬛

“Stephen was awesome, kept Gracei happy and safe during her visits while I had to work. I felt very comfortable leaving her there for my first Rover experience and first puppy ever. He kept me updated throughout the day and is very flexible with time. Thank you and can’t wait to book with Stephen again!”
“As always, Jimmy had the best time with Janelle and her dog Coby. We couldn't be happier to have found them, they truly treat Jimmy like he is their own, which is a special thing to find!”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I love every animal for their unique personality and quirks. I have had several clients over the past 10 years that came to me by word of mouth. I have had dogs from puppies to seniors. I do have a full time job but I work remotely most days. I am flexible so I can be there when they need me. All I need is WiFi. If I watch them in my home, we will meet ahead so I can assess how your dog will do with my dogs and cats. I have a fully fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. If I watch them in your home I come by for a meet and greet.
“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!”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first daycare with Laura. Evie was a bit anxious at first but Laura got her to a calm state quickly and Evie enjoyed playing with her pug, Winston. Laura kept me updated and sent several pictures. Good experience overall and will be back”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including large dogs up to 115 pounds. I’ve owned and raised dogs from the puppy stage through their senior years, so I understand how different their needs can be at every stage of life. I have experience with puppy training, reinforcing basic commands, crate routines, frequent potty breaks, high-energy dogs, and keeping younger dogs entertained and active. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent breaks, or simply some extra love and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of individual attention I’m able to provide. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home almost all day and can adjust my routine around your dog’s normal schedule. For boarding, I only take one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your dog won’t be in a house full of unfamiliar animals competing for attention. My home is also pet-free, child-free, and non-smoking, giving your dog a calm and comfortable place to stay. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking, sleeping, training, and crate routines so their stay feels as close to home as possible. And yes, dogs are welcome on the furniture here! 🐶❤️ I work remotely in marketing with a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home almost 24/7, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule can easily be adjusted around each pet’s normal routine and individual needs. Whether your pet is used to early morning walks, specific feeding times, frequent puppy potty breaks, or just lots of companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their schedule as closely as possible. My availability is very open, including weekdays and weekends! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. In my home, it’s just my partner and me with no children or pets of our own, so your pet will have a calm, spacious environment. I only board one family’s pet(s) at a time so I can focus on their needs and help them feel comfortable and at home. My yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be leashed and supervised when outside. Inside, pets are welcome to get comfortable and are allowed on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise. I’m also familiar with crates and happy to follow your pet’s normal crate, feeding, walking, sleeping, and potty routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll follow all instructions closely, make sure doors and entrances are secure, keep dogs leashed during walks, and give you updates so you know how your pet is doing. I’m happy to discuss any special instructions, behaviors, or safety concerns beforehand so I can provide care that is tailored to your pet.
“Once again, Maggie came to my rescue last minute! I thought I had booked then three days before event checked only to find out I did not book. But then…Maggie answered the call with a resounding YES, I can care for Atticus that day! Atticus was thrilled and gave his thanks with love 🧡. Mega Maggie!! Filled with love for the pets she cares for. Thank you, thank you!!”
“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!!!!! ?”
“Becky is great! She sends photos and updates frequently. Riley had a great time! He loved playing with other fur pups. He comes home tired and happy. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have been lucky enough to have a dog by my side for most of it. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years, as well as provided drop-in visits for cats. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I am home the majority of the day, giving your pet plenty of love, playtime, and frequent potty breaks, along with lots of cuddles, attention, and companionship throughout the day! I live in a ranch-style home with no stairs, making it easy and comfortable for your pup to get around. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I have a large yard with a dog lead, and I’m happy to take your dog on walks as well. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, because I want them to feel right at home! 😊
“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.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of genuine care, attentiveness, and patience I bring to every pet I work with. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I have experience with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, to senior dogs requiring gentle handling, medication, and a slower pace. I’m confident in reading animal behavior and adjusting to their needs, whether that means helping a shy pet come out of their shell or keeping a high-energy pup mentally and physically stimulated. I’m also reliable, clean, and communicative with pet parents so you always feel at ease while you’re away. I’m currently home for the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility and time to dedicate to your furry friend! I absolutely love getting my steps in—so walks, playtime, and keeping your pet active are right up my alley. Whether it’s a game of tug-of-war, fetch, or working their brain with fun puzzles, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. What sets me apart is the energy and attentiveness I bring to every visit. I don’t just “watch” pets—I engage with them, connect with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether your pup needs structured walks or your senior dog needs a little extra care and patience, I’ve got them covered. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can thrive. In my home, I keep things clean, cozy, and pet-friendly. I stick to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and even snuggle time. I make sure they feel like part of the family, with lots of attention, enrichment, and love throughout the day.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly understand how much pets are family. I currently own both a dog and cat and have experience helping foster dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable with routines, medication schedules, high-energy pets, and giving nervous animals extra patience and care. I am currently working full time as a night shift RN with a varying schedule but happy to care for your fur babies on days off and in between shifts. Happy to assist with overnight care with frequent drop ins but typically unable to stay overnight as I have fur babies of my own at home waiting for me :) As both a lifelong pet owner and healthcare professional, I value safety, trust, and consistency. I currently provide pet care exclusively in clients’ homes so pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routines. I aim to create a calm, dependable experience with close attention to detail, reliable communication, and lots of care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Tyler is wonderful. My pup is usually shy around males due to her past but she absolutely adores him. As soon as she sees his car in the driveway she gets so excited. He's great with her.”
“Diana was great with my pup! He sometimes likes to be lazy, but she was able to coax him into a some exercise. She did a great job of keeping me updated of their activity and she sent some great pics! I would definitely recommend!”
“We are so happy to have found Lindsay! She is super responsive and fantastic with our super energetic Lab. Our dog has a new BFF in Lindsay and we are so grateful for her walks!”
About: My first experience was 5 y.o when I was selected to help train Fidelco search and rescue dogs. From then on, my whole life has been surrounded by animals of all sorts. From going to UCONN for large animal science, to always being the designated pet sitter for friends and family, to now- still doing that, running my own hypoallergenic cattery & working a couple horse barns! I bring years of experience with all sizes, ages, behavioral issues, illnesses and providing medications. Safety is my #1, with an obvious close 2nd, their happiness! I currently work part time at 2 barns, a few days a week, and no longer than 4 hours a day. I also run a cattery at my home, so squeezing in a quick walk or even accepting a night over, on short notice, isn't usually an issue for me! I currently do not offer for other animals to stay at my house, due to having my cattery and my elderly dog, but I'm more than happy to stay at yours and care for your fur-baby!

“Craig was a lifesaver. I had foot surgery and needed someone who could handle my sometimes crazy doodle puppy and my 5 y o poodle. Craig assured me he could handle walking both dogs. He was prompt, respectful and great with both my dogs. Highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! Friends and family have always said that I’m an animal whisperer. Since I can remember, I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and family pets. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years spend a majority of my time with animals! I am a recent college graduate and am exploring this new phase of my life. If you leave your pets in my care, I can assure you they will receive constant love and attention! I am a recent college grad looking to dive head first into my pet sitting business! My schedule is currently wide open as I also search for my first post-grad career! I have a lot of experience working with pets and can deal with practically any temperament! I feel comfortable learning your dogs daily routine and staying in your home, as long as you are!
About: I have had dogs for my whole life, and I currently have one of my own, so I have plenty experience caring for everyone's favorite friends, doing every day tasks, such as feeding and walking, but also administering medication and supplements if needed. I am currently attending graduate school with classes in the afternoon, but I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings/early afternoons and the entire weekend. My free-time on Mondays and Fridays is limited, but I will do my best to fulfill all requests. I have extra leashes and doggy bags to be ready for any situations on a walk! I am respectful and clean for any homes I have to stop by!
About: Ever since I was a kid it was my duty to take care of pets. Had 2 birds, 2 Guinea pigs, beta fish, cat and a dog. Cared for each one day in and day out. My first experience with animal care was probably age 11/12 caring for a family friend’s cats and dog. Daily walks, routine meals, etc. My favorite part of pet care is being able to meet each pet’s needs. Along with getting know their personalities. Funny enough I’m writing this paragraph whilst taking care of this pup while his parents are on holiday. Currently working 4 days a week as a dental hygienist. The other days are pretty much free. Would love to spend it caring for folks pets. Quite flexible, take your pets needs into consideration. Always diligent, poignant and kind. Animals have such love to give, it’s not in a their nature to hate. That’s why I care deeply for them. Now that I’m on my own, the apartment I live in only allows me to have my pet turtle. He will be 4 years old this upcoming fall. He’s a red eared slider with lots of personality.
About: I’ve grown up with only dogs my whole life! Got to be quite the cat person after I caved and picked my first one up a couple years ago. She ended up having a litter of 5! So I definitely have experience with cats in heat, cats in pregnancy/labor as well as newborn kittens! Can bathe (dogs or kittens up to 3-4 months) , give medication, walk, run around, spend time, playtime just about anything when it comes to cats and dogs! Feel free to reach out! Pretty flexible. Doing online schooling. Depends on what the pet owner is thinking! Reach out! My availability should be fairly up to date majority of the time. I care for pets with patience, affection, playtime, cuddles, fresh food and water, walks, and plenty of attention. I treat every cat and dog like family.

“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“They did amazing with my semi rowdy Luna. I was updated everyday with lovely photos of her and her adventures! They accepted my last minute booking along with a meet and greet. It went as good as I could have expected plus more! I highly recommend and I will be booking in the future.”
“She is an amazing sitter and Prince had an amazing stay! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. The sitter was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I received updates and could see that Prince was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was being looked after by someone so reliable and kind. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Prince! Her back yard is extremely spacious with plenty of space for dogs to play and burn some energy as well! I would 1000/10 recommend Christle!”
“Janelle and her family were wonderful caretakes of our puppy. She is very attentive to his needs and gave him a lot of attention and love. He is very happy there and we would highly recommend Janelle!”
“Melissa was very easy to deal with and our dog Sammy seems to have had a great time with her. Melissa gave us several updates on Sammy and sent us lots of pictures of her adventures. I would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone.”
“Superb! I felt totally at ease leaving Gabby to Margaret's care. I appreciated her desire to meet Gabby beforehand, and she gave reassuring updates during Gabby's stay. Gabby got a lot of good attention that was documented in photos and messages, and I returned to find her relaxed and calm. I will definitely bring her back to Margaret next time I need dog care.”
About: I've lived with and taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Starting off in apartments where they needed to be walked. I've had my own dogs for the past 16 years. From puppies to seniors on daily medications, I've taken care of it all with my own doggos. We recently lost our doggy siblings, Tegan and Sara in May and July 2022 at 15.5 years old. We currently have a 6 month old rescue named Oswald. I love all dogs! I do not breed discriminate! I live on 3/4 of an acre with a 5' chain link fence surrounding the back yard. I also work from home, so I'm always here. With your permission, I may even take your pups on adventures while in my care! We do have a cat, but she owns the 2nd floor of our house (2 spare bedrooms), so it will not affect your pups stay as we will stay on the first floor. I work from home 9-5:30 M-F. Your baby will get to go out whenever needed in my fenced yard and I will give them love in small breaks during my own work day. They will not spend their days in a crate as I am here to keep an eye on them. I have a fenced yard. I do have a very dog and person friendly pup of my own who will be happy to play with your pup, too, as his favorite place is the dog park. We have few stairs that need to be climbed, 1-3 off our deck (we have a few entrances on the deck) that can be adjusted by closing deck doors as needed for seniors.
“Jessie, our Springer Spaniel, loved her overnight stay with Laura and her family. Jessie came home rested and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased. We have already booked Jessie’s next visit!”
“Erica & Thomas (& their kids!) took such exceptional care of our puppy, Hudson. He came home healthy & happy! We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but we received daily updates on him and knew he was having so much fun. We are so relieved to have found such a loving family to spend time with him, and can’t thank them enough for helping us out. Would recommend them to anyone looking for awesome pet sitters!”
“Anita and Ramesh were so kind and communicative throughout our pup’s 9 day stay. We were a little nervous as this was our first stay with them, but they set us at ease with plenty of pics and vids daily. Will be glad to work with them again in the future!”
“Alan and Luis took great care of our Maggie. We are planning a longer vacation in the near future. I wanted Maggie to have an opportunity to get acclimated before our longer trip. Maggie was only at Alan and Luis’ house for one night and I received multiple photos. It was so reassuring that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend them.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany and her family caring for our sweet boy, Warren. From the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Brittany is warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person who genuinely treats your dog like part of her own family. Throughout Warren’s stay, we received thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us he was not only safe but truly happy. It was clear he was getting lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. Brittany’s home felt like a calm, welcoming environment, and her family embraced Warren as if he’d always belonged there. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Brittany paid attention to his quirks and the small details that helped him feel comfortable, like a comfy couch and soft blankets. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, well-cared for, and honestly looked like he had just come back from his own little vacation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving to care for your dog, Brittany and her family are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them — Warren can’t wait for his next stay! 🐾💕”
“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”
“Dani was amazing! She sent endless pictures of my dog, which I really appreciated. In every single photo he looked like he was having fun, relaxing, or getting plenty of love and attention. Krown will be returning!”
“Katie and her family were wonderful sitters, giving updates and pictures daily as well as quick responses when messaged. They gave our dog lots of attention and cuddles, even bringing her with to their family Christmas! They also helped fill her stocking with toys and goodies, which our dog is still happily playing with. I would recommend Katie to anyone!”
“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!”
“Britanny made sure my dog Riley got LOTS of love and attention. She sent daily updates with pictures that showed what a good time Riley was having. I definitely recommend her!”
“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Maria was amazing!! Our nervous boy was in good hands! Maria was great with our big goofy dog, she gave him the love and attention he needed while we were away. She sent photos and checked in with me often. Definitely highly recommend and will use again! Thanks again Maria!”
