“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“Allyson is great! I was apprehensive about boarding my dog Mater, but after meeting her I knew he was in great hands. She provided me with daily updates and photos to ease my concerns. My dog seems to have enjoyed his stay with Allyson, and I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Amazing Service. Karina was very caring and responsive. She kept us informed with text message with pictures of how the day was progressing with our dog. She was even able to get him to eat regularly — which has been a problem at times. We highly recommend Karina as a Dog sitter and only which she were available to usnear our home in Florida”
“This is the second stay that our two pups had with Bruce, and it won't be the last. We found our "go-to" dog sitter. They received excellent, loving care. All of my instructions regarding feeding, supplements, meds, etc. were followed to a T. Detailed updates and photos were sent at least twice daily. It is obvious that Bruce loves being in the company of dogs. If you need to travel for business or pleasure and want total peace of mind, book Bruce. You will not be disappointed. Prior to booking with him for the first time, I read through hundreds of his five-star reviews. Very well-deserved! We are grateful that we found him.”
“First time with the strangers, and it was a success! Our old lady was in top condition when we picked her up! Stefanie sent us updates/pictures every day, it was nice to see Ozzi being calm and comfortable. They even provided our dog with a rug for walking over the hardwood floors. Just shows how much they cared! Thank you!”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“My dogs had another great vacation at Elizabeth’s home. They are so well cared for during their stay. They received so much love and attention as well. I 100% recommend Elizabeth to care for your dogs during your vacation. You will be able to relax and enjoy on your vacation knowing they are in the best care. I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough. She is fantastic! Thanks Elizabeth!”
“Laura, Carolina and Enrique were very welcoming of Nora. They took really good care of her. It was her first time here and she loved their backyard. Nora is a mini aussie who loves to run and their backyard was perfect for her.”
“Noemi and David were absolute amazing hosts. They were able to accommodate me last minute and were very communicative during Teddys stay. They have a a sweet, friendly family who truly love the pets that stay here. I recommend these hosts. 10/10”
“Thank you so much for taking care of moochie:) they are very good with communication, providing updates and cute pictures of my dog Moochie. He had a great time playing with their dog Ollie. I was a little nervous in the beginning with small Moochie hanging out with big dogs but he seemed to get along with them! Happy he was able to play and socialize. Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”
About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.
“Stephanie is a fantastic sitter/ second family to Cubbie. She is always so attentive, gives frequent updates (about his sleeping, walking and play mates at her house.) My husband and I call her summer camp for Cubbie. She is a wonderful person and extremely communicative. We have had Cubbie stay with her several times and she is our go to person. We can’t recommend her enough.”
“Michelle saved us after a last minute cancellation with another sitter. She was ready to take in our boy within an hour and kept him overnight. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“I booked with Hazard for a weekend, and I can’t say enough positive things about the experience. They were truly awesome! From the start, I felt completely at ease thanks to the frequent photo updates they sent. It was wonderful not having to wonder how my dog was doing because I got to see him happy and well cared for throughout the day. On top of that, they even provided a cute “report card” at the end of the day, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave me a great little summary of how he did. Overall, I was really happy with their care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Christina always makes my pup feel at home and she shows him so much love and attention. She always sends me updates and makes me feel so at ease when leaving Milo with her. Highly recommend her for all your puppy sitting needs 🐶❤️.”
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”
“Itbwas wonderful to find Tatyana... thanks, Rover! She has fantastic communication and took great care of our oulder pup, plus was very flexible with meet & greet, plus pick up / drop off times. There was no problem ensuring he got his meds after eating and he absolutely loved her fenced in yard. Terrific experience! Yes, I would recommend Tatyana as a sitter.”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Our dog Remy had a wonderful time with Yi Jia and her dogs! We are new to the region and Yi Jia made us feel comfortable by walking us through her property / house where Remy would be staying and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. She sent us a lot of pics of Remy playing with her dogs and kept us informed throughout the stay. Remy had an incredible time with her and the dogs and cannot wait to go back!”

“Jessica did drop ins for our little kitten, Mipha, while we were gone for a few days. She took excellent care of her, played and gave her affection. Throughout the whole time we were gone she sent photos and gave helpful updates about how Mipha was during each drop in. She was great! We'll definitely select her again!”
“Allison took great care of our 2 cats. Her communication skills were fantastic. She contacted and sent pictures every day. Very responsible and willing to learn and tend to each animals specific needs. Allison is also very gentle and compassionate when it comes to taking care of our animals. She is easy to talk to and able to follow the additional directions I left for the cats. I would highly recommend Allison to anyone who needs a pet sitter and will look to book her again in the future.”
“Maddie did a great job taking care of my cat Sheldon while I was out of town over the weekend. I received regular updates and everything was done according to the plan we discussed. Thank you Maddie!”
“Aisaia comes often to check in on my dogs while I’m at work. He’s always reliable, on time, and spends a little extra time with my dogs. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to book with him!”
About: Hi! My name is Katharine, and I’m currently a social work student working toward my bachelor’s degree with a passion for helping others, which includes animals! I’ve always loved being around pets and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and caring to look after them. I’ve owned my dog for the past 10 years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, exercise, and providing lots of love and attention. I also regularly dog sit and cat sit for my neighbors, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m currently a college student who is also completing an internship, so my availability is limited on certain days. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I am unavailable until after 4:30pm. The other days of the week, I have open availability to spend time with your pups! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, playtime, and any house rules or routines your pet is used to. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while keeping the home clean and respectful. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Jaqueline did an amazing job watching our cat, Juniper! I was nervous to leave Juniper while we were on vacation but Jaqueline made me feel so calm and confident. I got adorable pictures everyday and an update. Jaqueline was wonderful to work with and took great care of our little Juniper!”
About: I connect with cats on a deep level and truly understand their unique personalities. My biggest joy comes from making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own space.
“Katie was great with our indoor cat! She communicated with us in a timely manner and gave updates as needed. I would definitely recommend her service - thank you Katie!”
“Catherine took wonderful care of my boys, 2 large male cats, on 2 separate occasions. What I particularly appreciated so very much was that when I came home after being away, they were very calm and not at all needy, which is a sure sign to me that they were well taken care of. It was just so reassuring to me to know that! I will be using Catherine regularly in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Leah highly enough! Leaving my cat, Bailey, is always stressful, but Leah made it completely worry-free. I received daily updates and the cutest photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Bailey wasn't just being fed, but was actually getting genuine affection and he loved every minute of it. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Heather was awesome and someone who is trustworthy kind and has a great attitude and love for animals. My cat was very well taken care of and i will forever be so grateful. This is the first time i had a cat sitter and i am so so thankful i found heather in time. Cannot recommend her enough”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I absolutely adore them! I’m now the proud cat mom of two sweet boys. I also regularly cat-sit for my neighbor when they’re away, caring for their cat and making sure they have everything they need while their owner is gone. I understand that cats have their own personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to do their own thing, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them plenty of patience, attention, and care. Tell your cat I said “pspsps”!
“Sarah is the best! I have an older pup and an independent cat; right away she put my mind at ease as her experience and care for animals radiates. She communicated clearly and promptly with me from the pre-booking to after the visits. She followed every direction and went above and beyond. I loved her updates and photos; I appreciated her kindness and attention to details. My pets said they had an amazing time with her! I would recommend her and welcome her back any time.”
About: Hi! I’m Tara, and I’ve been working with animals for over 20 years. My experience includes dog walking, grooming, managing large boarding kennels and dog-walking services, working as a veterinary technician, and leading an emergency and specialty veterinary hospital. Caring for pets has been a huge part of my life, both personally and professionally. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love while you’re away. I’m happy to provide that extra TLC and make my home feel like their home away from home. ❤️ I have three friendly, short-legged doggos of my own who love having dog friends around, and we’re always happy to welcome another pup into our crew! Your fur kid will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of attention, snuggles, playtime, and care tailored to their individual needs. My veterinary background also means I’m comfortable with senior pets, medications, special needs, and recognizing when something just doesn’t seem quite right. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful or prefers a quieter place to relax, my goal is simple: keep them safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. 🐾 I work fulltime at a veterinary ER and speciality center. During the day I separate any house guests and my dogs to keep everyone safe. I have my own friendly dogs at home to make your dog more comfortable. I have experience in veterinary medicine and taking care of pets that have special needs.

“Michelle was very friendly and easy to reach. I got back a happy dog that got along well with Michelle and her family. It felt like I was leaving my dog to a friend’s house.”
“Noemi is incredible! She made Blue and I feel right at home. Her children are also incredibly sweet and loving. Blue had a fantastic time and took advantage of her large fenced in yard. I can tell he had a great time as he took a hearty nap as soon as we got home :) Thank you for all you do Noemi! Looking forward to return.”
“Bruce is wonderful! I dropped Jojo off for her first day, and she was given lots of walks and attention and water. Came home tired but so happy. She’s an anxious dog, but Bruce was wonderful with her and made her feel at ease!”
“Jieun & Matt took great care of our Frenchie! They sent multiple pictures & messages during her stay and we were so grateful they could accommodate our work schedule. I would definitely recommend them, thank you so much!”
“We had a wonderful experience using Ingrid’s doggy day care services for the first time. We started with a meet and greet and Ingrid is helping Shadow ease into the new space and other dog intros in a digestible fashion. She is quick to respond, has great communication, very professional and experienced, with attentiveness towards each dog’s unique needs. It’s a relief to know my pup is in safe, caring hands getting the love, attention, play and exercise he needs. We just moved to the area and are looking forward to booking with Ingrid regularly during my work days. Thank you, Ingrid!”
“OMG THE BEST! Mariana took such great care of Galileo. And she took care of ME as well. I felt so safe leaving the little man with her. There were constant updates and photos and so much love. I wish I lived closer so I could use her every day!!!”
“Stephanie took great care of my beagle for three days while I had to travel out of state. He came home to me exhausted and happy after full days of playing and walks. Thanks Stephanie!”
“Jordin was wonderful with my pup for a week of doggie day care. Leia has hip dysplasia and Jordin was very mindful of keeping her day active without being too much for her. She was very communicative and seemed to bond with my pup very quickly, and my dog was excited to get to her place every day. She arranged a meet up before the scheduled days to make sure she matched with my pup and was wonderful in asking lots of questions to make sure she could care for Leia and meet all her needs. 10 out of 10 recommend 😊”
“Bruno had an amazing time! He got to sunbathe, go on a walk, and clearly enjoyed himself all day. I was really nervous at first, but they sent me pictures throughout the day, which completely eased my fears. It meant so much to see how happy and comfortable he was. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him—highly recommended!!”
“Amanda was great! We were travelling in the area and needed a last minute sitter for a few hours. Koda had a fun time at her house playing with the other dogs.”
About: I bring 24 years of pet care experience, from raising a beloved cat for 21 years to caring for my current dog, Kylo, for 3 years. Your pup will enjoy a big, secure fenced backyard for play and plenty of loving attention! I work from home, so I’m always around to provide attentive care. My dog, Kylo, is my constant companion, and your pup will be treated like part of the family with plenty of supervision, playtime, and love throughout the day. I provide a safe, secure, and loving environment for every pet. With a fenced-in backyard in a quiet neighborhood, your pup can enjoy safe playtime and relaxation. I’m dedicated to ensuring they feel at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home.
“Yi Jia’s dog sitting was so awesome! We had a last minute need for a dog sitter after flying into town to see family and she cared for my 1yo bichon- shih tzu with such love, and my trip weary and my pup was so happy when I picked him up! So grateful for her care of him Thanks again, Yi Jia!!!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I provide more than just pet sitting — I offer dependable, loving companionship tailored to each pet’s needs and one thing I can say I specialize in is accustoming to different routines based on your pet’s schedule and preferences, from long walks to playtime to quiet cuddle sessions! I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, love, and respect. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you're away. I work at a school which means my schedule could be flexible at times and I do have weekends off which gives me more than enough play time for your furry friends on the weekends! I have a large fenced backyard which gives the dogs a chance to run around and play freely. I also have a partner who is a Firefighter and a huge dog lover and has more of a flexible schedule on most days so on the weekdays when I am at work and he is not working they will still be with someone offering lots of love and attention.
“Kara was great! She was super flexible and willing to watch Shadow with what I believed was a last minute request! I would definitely recommend to anyone if you’re looking for a sweet and personable dog sitter!”
“Andrea was just wonderful. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter. I knew I could trust her with my babies right off the bat. She’s sweet and caring and communicated with me the whole time because I was anxious being away from them. It’s easy to see that she is a dog person to the core. Highly recommend!”
“Liza was wonderful. We need a last minute booking for a holiday and she accommodated us very easily. Our Goldendoodle, Biscuit, was very well cared for. He doesn’t always do well away from us and can have some separation anxiety. He was at ease and enjoyed himself. We will definitely rebook with her.”
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.

“Jae has been a lifesaver for my husband and I! She takes such good care of our dog and sends the most adorable pictures 🤗 She is easy to communicate with and we will definitely be booking again with Jae!”
About: I was the primary caretaker of my family dog for about 10 years, while I was living at home, and I was a part-time dog sitter in college. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of time to tend to and play with your furry babies. I can make anytime during the week work! :) In someone else’s home I treat both the pet and the house with respect. I ensure I know exactly what the pet is used to: whether they sleep on the bed, use a crate, how they interact with other pets or children. I secure the perimeter (doors closed, yard gate locked), I follow any medication or behaviour instructions closely, and I keep a log of walks, meals, playtime, and potty breaks. At night I do a last check: water bowl full, lights are safe, any doors/windows secured, pet comfortable in its space. I aim to leave the home just as I found it, if not neater.
“Aisaia was great!! Very prompt on time, gave me dog a wonderful long walk and she returned very happy and relaxed. I will definitely reach out to him again in the future! Thank you Aisaia!!”
“Bruce is wonderful! He jumped in the help on absolutely no notice when my regular dogwalker got sick and walked my dog regularly (3x/week) for a month. Could not be happier and looking forward to hiring him again when the need arises”
“Katharine did an excellent job walking my very shy dog Violet for an hour. She came over and spent time with Violet beforehand, so that Violet would not be scared of her. Katharine arrived on schedule and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I have already scheduled more walks soon and am so pleased to have found her.”
About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I bring to every animal I work with. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, which has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ve also been a lifelong pet parent, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust caring for your pets. I tailor my care to each pet’s age, temperament, routine, and health needs, whether that means extra patience with a senior pet, medication assistance, reinforcing basic training, or simply giving them the love and companionship they’re used to at home. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and reliability, and I care for every pet as I would my own. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and for their people to have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and last-minute requests based on your pet’s needs. I provide care in my clients’ homes to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, and prioritize safety at all times. I communicate regularly with updates, photos, and messages, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Leah! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your pet, because I’m the same way with mine. That’s why I treat every dog or cat I care for like they’re my own. I’ve spent the last 10+ years working hands-on with animals, including time as a vet tech and kennel attendant. I now work remotely and would love to use my extra time to care for and love on your pets while you’re away! Whether your pet needs a calm walk, playful energy, or just a comforting presence while you’re away, I tailor my care to their personality and routine. I’m big on consistency, safety, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. You can expect: 🐶 Plenty of attention, patience, and affection 📸 Regular photo and text updates so you’re never wondering how things are going 🕒 On-time visits and clear communication 🏡 Respect for your home and your pet’s routine I’m especially great with pets who need a little extra reassurance, structure, or a sitter who truly pays attention to details. My goal is always for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet, along with total peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet & greet 😊 I work fully remotely, so I am very flexible as far as walks, visits, or overnights go. Pet sitting is a passion of mine that I truly love and make time for outside of my regular 9-5. I am not able to host your pets currently due to having my own cat, but I am happy to come to you to make sure your pet is most comfortable and stays in their routine.
“Sarah is an amazing dog walker. Our dog can be a bit uneasy meeting new people, but Sarah knew exactly how to approach her and make quick friends. She was very communicative and professional. We will absolutely book with Sarah again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school. I am known as the dog-sitter in my neighborhood.

I have a lot of free time to take care of all of your pets needs. I am available Monday through Sunday. I will follow all of the instructions of the pet’s owner. I am available to walk, feed, play, and dog sit overnight. I will spend quality time with the pets.

I have experience in veterinary medicine and taking care of pets that have special needs.

“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”
“Allyson is great! I was apprehensive about boarding my dog Mater, but after meeting her I knew he was in great hands. She provided me with daily updates and photos to ease my concerns. My dog seems to have enjoyed his stay with Allyson, and I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“This is the second stay that our two pups had with Bruce, and it won't be the last. We found our "go-to" dog sitter. They received excellent, loving care. All of my instructions regarding feeding, supplements, meds, etc. were followed to a T. Detailed updates and photos were sent at least twice daily. It is obvious that Bruce loves being in the company of dogs. If you need to travel for business or pleasure and want total peace of mind, book Bruce. You will not be disappointed. Prior to booking with him for the first time, I read through hundreds of his five-star reviews. Very well-deserved! We are grateful that we found him.”
“First time with the strangers, and it was a success! Our old lady was in top condition when we picked her up! Stefanie sent us updates/pictures every day, it was nice to see Ozzi being calm and comfortable. They even provided our dog with a rug for walking over the hardwood floors. Just shows how much they cared! Thank you!”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“My dogs had another great vacation at Elizabeth’s home. They are so well cared for during their stay. They received so much love and attention as well. I 100% recommend Elizabeth to care for your dogs during your vacation. You will be able to relax and enjoy on your vacation knowing they are in the best care. I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough. She is fantastic! Thanks Elizabeth!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of moochie:) they are very good with communication, providing updates and cute pictures of my dog Moochie. He had a great time playing with their dog Ollie. I was a little nervous in the beginning with small Moochie hanging out with big dogs but he seemed to get along with them! Happy he was able to play and socialize. Thank you Jieun, Matth and Ollie for treating moochie as your own for a few days ❤️so thankful 🙏🏼❤️”
“Michelle saved us after a last minute cancellation with another sitter. She was ready to take in our boy within an hour and kept him overnight. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Jayme was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and always responded quickly to our messages. We felt so at ease knowing Finnegan was in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and that he had a great time with her dogs. We highly recommend Jayme to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”
“Tara is a superb dog sitter. She works in an animal hospital and seems to know just about everything about dogs. She sent lots of notes and pics and even gave our dog a bath so she went home clean. Her charges are on the high end but she's definitely worth it. Will use her again.”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“This is only the second time I have boarded my dog, and since I’m usually home all day with her, I wanted to make sure I left her with someone who would be home all the time and able to monitor her the way I do. Mariana went above and beyond my expectations! I not only got one or 2 photos a day, but I got updates on what she was doing, and even several videos of her being cute. I cannot say enough good things about the time and attention Mariana gave my dog and me! I will absolutely board with Mariana again the next time I go out of town!”
“Tina was great! She was flexible on timing, very communicative, sent great pictures of our dog, and he came home happy. Would recommend her highly and look forward to using her in the future.”
“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”
“Kara was amazing!! Going through a lot and I needed someone to take care of my two cats. She took them last minute and was so caring from the get go! One of my cats is very shy and he felt at home right away! I ended up extending the time because of my current situation. Will use her again!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Mari was exceptional. Absolutely exceptional. Not only did she communicate all the time but she sent so many pictures and videos. I did not expect Lloyd to get on so many long walks with Mari, but he did! Lloyd was cared for so well. Thank you, Mari!”
About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.
“Wow, Valerie was amazing. I knew my dogs and cat were in good care. She sent us photos throughout the ENTIRE stay and it made me feel so comfortable. My family was worried about leaving our pets with a 'stranger' but Valerie didnt feel like that to us. Her property was GORGEOUS! and had so much room for the puppies to run around and play. They were all tired out and we could tell by the photos she sent us of our dogs sleeping. My cat was also welcomed and had a nice time too. 11/10”
