“Stephanie was great at keeping me updated and sending plenty of pictures while she watched my dog. He is active and loves walks, and she kept him busy! I felt so comfortable having him stay with her.”
“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!”
“Karina was awesome!! Our usual dog sitter fell through just a day before a night away, and Karina was quick to respond, and flexible even with the last minute booking. She sent a bunch of videos which were much appreciated, and showed Ruth was having a great time with her dogs and other visitors. You could tell Karina really knew what she was doing and good at introducing new dogs into the mix. Would definitely recommend!”
“Very attentive & compassionate towards my Bella! I appreciated the pictures while I was away, leaving her overnight, the first time. we came back early, so hopefully they gave her more free time to enjoy. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed my dog!!”

“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“Liza took amazing care of our special girl. She was very responsive and demonstrated both confidence and kindness with our reactive pitbull. She’s amazing and we will absolutely be working with her in the future!”
“Our dog Finn had another great stay with Mariana. This is the 2nd time he’s stayed with her and he really enjoys himself playing with her dogs. No problems with the booking process. Mariana is great at sending updates, pictures and video’s duriing the stay. Would highly recommend her and hope to book again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner who understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I currently have two friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own, Rosie (8) and Lily (6). I work a professional full-time job with a hybrid schedule so I’m only in the office three days per week. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm environment, I’ll do my best to maintain their normal routine and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I know leaving your pet can be stressful, so I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before boarding whenever possible. My goal is to create a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your dog. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my days naturally revolve around feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I work a hybrid schedule and am always home evenings and weekends, allowing me to provide consistent care, supervision, and companionship for visiting pets. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. In my home, pets receive a safe, comfortable environment with close supervision. I also pay attention to each pet’s individual needs and keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“Luna loved staying with Bruce. I appreciated Bruce's attention to detail in making sure he was able to provide the best care for Luna. We've already booked another stay with Bruce!”
“Ashley was very reliable, excellent care giver. She walked my dog every day. I was so lucky to have Ashley available to take care of Charlie my little dog. Charlie was so excited to see Ashley’s beautiful and friendly dog , I really loved petting her dog, he was so cute and so smart. I definitely rebook with Ashley whenever I am back in New Haven. Location was great too! Near Yale.”
About: We are kinda new to this but we are willing to pet sit and do any tasks you ask of us that are within reason. My wife has owned a lot of pets and so have I. I’ve had 3 dogs and 2 cats and one lived for almost all my life so we both love animals and will treat them with the best care. We are currently looking for jobs and we have a happy life and are willing to start petsitting your pets anytime you need us. We are actually autistic. We have owned a lot of pets and we take extra care of our pets. We will do the best we can to take care of your animals. :)
“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!! ☺️”
“Our dog loves staying with Jieun! She is very professional and communicates in a timely manner both before and during visits, but most of all we know our dog is in great hands.”
“Claudia and Steven are a lovely couple and they were amazing with our dog Ellie. They communicated with us multiple times daily with updates and photos. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Ellie was well cared for. Will definitely have Claudia and Steven look after Ellie on our next vacation. You will not find better sitters for your pet!”
“Christopher was kind enough to take my pup on fairly short notice, which I so appreciate. He was friendly, a good communicator, and sent me updates/photos of my dog every day. I can tell Molly enjoyed her stay and I plan to bring her again on my next trip.”
“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!”
“Anthony is the best person to take care of our two dogs. They are able to socialize with other friendly dogs and they feel at home at Anthony’s. They always have a great time! Anthony takes care of them very well, sends timely updates and his veterinary background makes us feel safe to leave our furbabies with him.”

“Kaprice is a wonderful pet sitter. The enthusiasm she showed for my cats was deeply appreciated. She was highly responsive and flexible. At my request for detailed behavioral information about my two cats, she left me long notes about how they acted and played during her daily visits. She responded quickly to my inquiries during her visits as well, which was very comforting. I highly recommend her services.”
About: As a dog owner of 7 years, I know that our pets are part of the family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I try to remain patient and attentive to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Although I work full-time (8:00–5), I provide reliable pet care mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I can provide consistent and attentive care for your pets. I understand that a pet’s home is their sanctuary and remain mindful when caring for them. I ensure your home and your loved one is treated with care and respect.
About: Some people are dog-people, some are cat-people, and a small few are both (I'm one of those!). I love taking care of cats, giving them space to be the autonomous and amazing creatures they are, and providing a safe and calm environment for them to explore, interact with me on their own terms, and get love and attention.
“I can't say enough about how great Amber was in taking care of our two cats while we were away! She met with us beforehand, answered any questions we had and kept us updated each day as she stopped by for feedings. She even got our super skittish cat to come to her, which is unheard of! So glad we found her here on Rover and will absolutely be hiring her again!”
“Joseph is great! This was our first time using Rover. Our cat Walter loved him! Joseph was always on time and sent us photos and updates promptly! Highly recommend”
About: Dog owners will love my ability to recognize the individuality and personality of their dog and how well I respond to these to these things. For example, if the dog is an introverted weimereiner, I will try some things to get him to play or take a walk. Taking care not to confuse or irritate him. If the dog is an energetic cocker spaniel, I will always be more cautious and aware of the dog "bolting" out an open door or being generally a little unpredictable. I know this from my experience as a cocker spanielowner and a less active Labrador retriever, and most recently - a brother and sister part pit bull - very active breed pair in New Mexico before I moved here to West Haven, CT. Also, a larger, more active dog will need more walking, playing and activity than a dog who takes more time to transition to a new face. All the above should be done with both the awareness of building a functional and stable relationship between myself and the dog along with any input the owner might give on caring for his or her dog. It seems most important to be available on continual and longest terms possible with most any dog for the sake of stability in the dog's life. I love the learning and fun it takes to get to know a dog.
“Super helpful with some last-minute cat feedings! I had some video instructions that ended up not going through in time for her first visit, and Jessica was able to figure it all out like a pro.”
“We had confidence in Heather looking after our cats from the moment we met her at the meet and greet. She did an amazing job looking after the cats sending us updates and keeping us informed on how they were doing. We definitely will be using her again when we go away.”
“I feel that it is impossible to write a review positive enough to do Jen justice. She is the very best - so considerate, consistent, communicative, and reliable. She is so wonderful with my cat Eevee — to the extent that I notice positive behavioral changes in Eevee when I return - she’s a little less mischievous and much more cuddly. I can tell Eevee is happy to spend time with Jen. And she always leaves my home tidy. If you’re wondering which sitter to trust your home and fur babies with, Jen is the best of the best!”
“Milo was great! They dropped in on my cat, followed feeding/medication directions, stayed for some quality time and sent some photos! Would not hesitate to hire Milo again!”
“We had to figure out how to get back to Seattle during the big December snowstorm and Emily stayed in communication with us and let us book day by day since it was uncertain when or how we were going to get back. I cannot stress enough how amazing Emily was during such a stressful time for us!!!”
“Leah is a fabulous sitter for our cats! She does a great job administering medicine and ensuring that our cats are happy and healthy. She gives lots of updates with pictures and we can see that our cats adore her!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my professional experience as a veterinary technician. I have extensive hands-on experience administering oral medications, injections, and other treatments, as well as caring for senior pets, post-surgical patients, and animals with special medical needs. I am trained to recognize early signs of illness or distress and can provide attentive, knowledgeable care while keeping your pet comfortable and safe. I also have experience using low-stress, fear-free handling techniques to help anxious or nervous pets feel at ease. Beyond my veterinary background, I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I am reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, taking pride in maintaining a clean and safe environment. Whether it’s deep-cleaning litter boxes, sanitizing feeding areas, keeping up with daily routines, or providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection, I go above and beyond to ensure both pets and their owners have peace of mind while they’re apart.
“Our beagle/lab, Tetris, stayed at Kathy's for two days and had a blast. He came back exhausted, either from running around in Kathy's large backyard or playing with Bella and Kathy's other guests, or both. Kathy was extremely responsive and sent regular updates. Already looking forward to the next time we board him!”
“Kelli was excellent as always. She is a great communicator and its very reliable. She adapts well to problems when they come up and we are eternally grateful to have her.”
About: 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.
“Alyssa did a fantastic job caring for our cats while away! She was able to easily give one of our cats medication and quickly picked up on each of their individual needs for playing and pets! We won’t hesitate to book her again!”

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.
“Always a pleasure letting Peanut stay with Brianna. Brianna is very accommodating with our schedule. Peanut is tired but super happy after a day. He likes Brianna a lot.”
“Stephanie took great care of our pup and sent us pictures throughout the day. It eased our minds about leaving our pup in a new place while touring the Museum. If we are ever in the area again we will plan to use her pet services again!”
“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.”
“I had to find a last minute sitter, and Howard was an absolute life-saver! Within an hour of sending him the first message, I was dropping my puppy off at his house. He communicated regularly with me throughout the day, kept her active, and was very receptive to her particular needs. Overall, an excellent experience. Would recommend highly!”
“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 over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. From newborn puppies to Yorkies, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, and Great Danes, I’ve raised, trained, and supported dogs at every stage of life. I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every dog in my care like family, providing a safe, attentive, and nurturing environment you can trust. 🐾 Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time for walks, feedings, playtime, and one-on-one attention throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to be flexible with different care needs, whether that’s early walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care. I also make sure dogs are never left alone for extended periods and receive regular supervision and engagement. Because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, I prioritize creating a routine that keeps them active, comfortable, and well cared for while fitting seamlessly into my day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment in every home I work in, whether it’s mine or my client’s. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and stress-free for them. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I’m mindful of feeding schedules, allergies, and any special instructions to ensure each dog stays healthy and comfortable. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I create a relaxed environment where they can feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their established routines to keep their pet at ease. I also provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. With my 30+ years of experience, I’m attentive to behavior, quick to notice changes, and always prepared to handle situations calmly and responsibly. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and secure at all times.
“Zuly and her family took wonderful care of my poodle, Babette. She is a great communicator, and understands the needs of dogs from years of experience. Her home was neat, immaculate, and felt very welcoming. I look forward to using her services in the future!”
“Isaih is great with my 4 legged son! Because of my dogs age and change in activity level I felt the need to change his daycare from a large facility. Bobo wags his tail in excitement every morning when I drop him off and is not dog tired when I pick him up. I am very satisfied, thanks Isaih!”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is over 10 years of hands-on experience dog sitting, along with a deep sense of responsibility and care. I truly love animals and bring that same energy to every pet I look after. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including seniors who need gentle, attentive support. I also have experience caring for elderly people, including my own grandmother, which has taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of routines. Whether it’s administering medication, giving extra cuddles, or sticking to a strict schedule, I’m all in when it comes to compassionate care. It fits into my daily and weekly schedule because I’m a stay at home dad with a lot of time on my schedule that would enjoy the company of a fur friend around that can keep me busy!! When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they have a cozy spot to relax, stick to their regular routine as much as possible, and give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I keep my space clean, safe, and calm so they can feel comfortable, whether they’re staying for a day or a whole week. My goal is to make it feel like a second home for them. Also when taking them out I have a fenced yard as well as a front gate so there’s no running away or escaping on my watch!

“My dog Fox loved his time with Michael! Michael is communicative, attentive, and so accommodating. As nerve wracking as it is to leave your pet with someone new, Michael’s dedication and attention to his own dogs eased any nerves I had. My dog got to live his best life from morning to sundown, whether it be running with Michael’s dogs endlessly in the yard or going to the beach. He essentially had the best day at ‘summer camp’. If you need someone to care for your pet, don’t think twice and book with Mark!! So glad to have found our go to friends for Fox.”

“Marie has been walking our German Shepherd Lizzy for a few weeks now and has been great! Very reliable and has even been able to accommodate last minute walks when our schedules have been crazy! Really appreciate her hard work”
About: Hello there. I have been boarding dogs for over 10 years and have many regular customers. Before that I always had a dog. I am a dog lover that will treat your dog like my own. I have decided not to board dogs and stay at owners home from now on. Also I do dog walking. Safety is my number one priority while dog sitting and dog walking. I also take the dogs for daily walk. You can relax and go on vacation and know your dog is well taken care for. I send updates via text with pictures and videos to my customers so they can be sure their pup is having just as fun during his week as the client is. Looking for a mature, responsible house sitter, that does it all... look no further, send me a text. Look forward to hearing from you!

I spend at least a half hour with the dogs from drop in visits
“Ileana has been simply excellent with our anxious rescue. Our dog is not quick to make friends, but Ileana knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable from the beginning, and managed her reactivity expertly on walks. She was also prompt, communicative, and flexible with us. Could not recommend her enough!”

About: Hey there I’m Angie , your friendly neighborhood pet sitter with over a decade of experience in caring for furry companions. I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to chickens and reptiles. My passion for pets led me to pursue a hobby in pet care, where I gained invaluable knowledge about animal behavior and health. Whether it's walking, feeding, or providing cuddles, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of each pet entrusted to my care. With a keen eye for detail and a compassionate heart, I ensure every furry friend feels safe and loved in their own home while their owners are away. When I'm not busy pampering pets, you can find me exploring nature trails with my own furry companions or curled up with a good book and a cup of tea. Let me be your go-to pet sitter, where your pets become part of my extended family. I currently work from home and take classes in the evening, on my spare time I relax with my fur baby, I’ve had my cat for 4 years but always have had animals in my life. There is a dog park where I live which makes it easy to walk during the day, I also have a back patio where we can sit and just get some fresh air, there’s cat towers and toys here for any cat needing some excitement.
About: I’m a proud dog dad of a Chihuahua Poodle who is 6 years old. A leader of the pack that teaches tricks and provide treats. Lover of all animals. I’m currently working from home and have plenty of time to walk, feed, and play with your pups. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I’m very active and give my dog walks every 2-3 hours. I own a crate and baby gates if needed or preferred. Plenty of space to run and play. Maintains a daily routine.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 13. I also have experience with quite a few animals due to being raised in a home with multiple different animals. I am currently per diem at work so I have a bigger availability for pet sitting. My schedule is more open in that case, making it the best fit. I am very attentive and cater to the pets needs. With the experience that I have it does not make things difficult for me in both matters.
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: I grew up on a farm with goats, cats, dogs, and a chinchilla. Taking care of pets is second nature to me and as a child free millennial, I have all the time and love to give. My cat Karen will attest to this and would love to share the attention with other pets and get me out of her hair (quite literally). I currently work 8:30-5 M-F, but have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends to spend time with your kitties! I may even be available on my lunch break depending on location. I would love to build trust and comfortability with your cats prior to drop ins. It’s important for us to be comfortable with each other, and I encourage all pets to interview me thoroughly before signing on.
“Danielle was very nice and pleasant, my dog took to her right away. She walked Daphne and my dog came back happy and playful. I liked Danielle very much and will definitely welcome her back to walk Daphne. ??????”
“Jen was absolutely amazing. I was a dunce and forgot I had my old address in my profile and she was gracious enough to come to our actual place to still complete the walk even though she had arrived at my old place already. My dog is reactive to other dogs while on leash and I witnessed first hand how well she handled her while seeing another dog. I’m looking forward to using her services regularly!!”

“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!”
“Karina was awesome!! Our usual dog sitter fell through just a day before a night away, and Karina was quick to respond, and flexible even with the last minute booking. She sent a bunch of videos which were much appreciated, and showed Ruth was having a great time with her dogs and other visitors. You could tell Karina really knew what she was doing and good at introducing new dogs into the mix. Would definitely recommend!”
“Very attentive & compassionate towards my Bella! I appreciated the pictures while I was away, leaving her overnight, the first time. we came back early, so hopefully they gave her more free time to enjoy. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed my dog!!”
“Brianna was great with our dog. She was very sweet with him during his stay and sent regular updates and photos. She was also very flexible about drop off/pick up. I would love to have our dog stay with her again.”
“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”
“Liza took amazing care of our special girl. She was very responsive and demonstrated both confidence and kindness with our reactive pitbull. She’s amazing and we will absolutely be working with her in the future!”
“Our dog Finn had another great stay with Mariana. This is the 2nd time he’s stayed with her and he really enjoys himself playing with her dogs. No problems with the booking process. Mariana is great at sending updates, pictures and video’s duriing the stay. Would highly recommend her and hope to book again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner who understands how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I currently have two friendly, well-socialized dogs of my own, Rosie (8) and Lily (6). I work a professional full-time job with a hybrid schedule so I’m only in the office three days per week. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm environment, I’ll do my best to maintain their normal routine and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I know leaving your pet can be stressful, so I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet before boarding whenever possible. My goal is to create a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your dog. Feel free to reach out with any questions! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my days naturally revolve around feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I work a hybrid schedule and am always home evenings and weekends, allowing me to provide consistent care, supervision, and companionship for visiting pets. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of affection. In my home, pets receive a safe, comfortable environment with close supervision. I also pay attention to each pet’s individual needs and keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“Luna loved staying with Bruce. I appreciated Bruce's attention to detail in making sure he was able to provide the best care for Luna. We've already booked another stay with Bruce!”

We have owned a lot of pets and we take extra care of our pets. We will do the best we can to take care of your animals. :)
“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!! ☺️”
“Our dog loves staying with Jieun! She is very professional and communicates in a timely manner both before and during visits, but most of all we know our dog is in great hands.”
“Christopher was kind enough to take my pup on fairly short notice, which I so appreciate. He was friendly, a good communicator, and sent me updates/photos of my dog every day. I can tell Molly enjoyed her stay and I plan to bring her again on my next trip.”
“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!”
“Anthony is the best person to take care of our two dogs. They are able to socialize with other friendly dogs and they feel at home at Anthony’s. They always have a great time! Anthony takes care of them very well, sends timely updates and his veterinary background makes us feel safe to leave our furbabies with him.”
“Sai was terrific with our Luna!!! Lots of pictures, and updates really gave us a feeling she was well taken care of. This was only the second time we left our girl. We will definitely rebook with Sai!! I really appreciated the walks she took Luna on❤️❤️❤️and the extra descriptive updates.”
“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.”
“Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!”
