“Nori's sencond boarding with Enrica and her family is as good as the fisrt one, and probably even better! They took care of him pretty well, and treated him as their own boy. Tons of play, walk and acommpany, and sharing cute pics/videos constantly. I would highly recommend using their boarding service for your fur babies. : )”


“Olivia took care of our anxious dog for a few days while we were out of town. Olivia gave her a place to relax on her own and took great care of her. She was very communicative and provided regular updates. If your dog is good with other dogs, Olivia is a great sitter!”

“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”

“I was very happy with Mac's stay with Laurel. I had shared with her that Mac loves going on walks and she took him for two long walks. She shared with me how he was doing over the course of the day. I would use Laurel again without hesitation.”

“Patty is godsend! She will love (and slightly spoil) your dog like it’s her very own. Patty kept us up-to-date multiple times a day with messages and photos. She cared for our dog the way we would, simply an Angel. Thank you Patty and Vin for opening your home and heart to our Sully!”

“Claudia took such amazing care of my dog! She shared lots of photos and detailed updates every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She not only took him out for walks but also played with him at home and even let him snuggle with her at night. My pup absolutely adored her — when it was time to leave, he even sat on the lawn refusing to go, with watery eyes. It’s clear he felt very loved and happy with Claudia. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 💛🐾”

“Bethany was wonderful with Luna and Coco! She took excellent care of them, made sure they got plenty of walks and playtime, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We came home to happy, relaxed pups and really appreciated how organized and communicative she was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.”

“This was the first time I left My young Frenchie with anyone and I was very nervous. Aaron was interested in getting to know her before the trip and he was organized and communicative. When I picked her up she was comfortable there and she was fine! I will 100% leave her with Aaron again. Very thankful to find someone who cares a lot about taking care of her.”

“As usual, everything went perfect!! Zoey had a blast! Adriene sends pics and updates regularly. Very happy with our sitter. Will ALWAYS use her! Thank you so much Adriene!!!”

“Nicole was so fantastic to work with! I can’t tell you how happy we were to have found her! This was our first time away from our 6 month old puppies and she kept us updated with messages and photos the entire week! She took excellent care of them and we felt at ease knowing they were happy and enjoying their time with Nicole and her pup Marshall! We are very thankful!”


“My Lucky is an older dog and loves going on vacation at Candice's home. She and her family take good care of him, and unlike some places he has stayed, I believe that he feels at home and comfortable. Based on the photos I receive, I know he enjoys himself when he is there.”

“Thank you for taking care of Joey. Megan and Vitaly were very accommodating and welcoming. Highly recommend. Only complaint- I wish they took more pictures of Joey during the stay.”

“Yvonne was very attentive to my stress over leaving my little girl in a new place. She gave me regular reports and tons of pictures. Will definitely use them again.”

“Peace of mind is the ability to let go, be on vacation and feel confident your furry family member is happy and cared for-Nicole does that for us and it is invaluable. My dog acted like she didnt know me and didnt want to get in the car to come home when I arrived back to get her-it was the ultimate compliment and confidence boost that her visit with Nicole was the perfect fit!”

“I would highly recommend Steffani and Joshua. They put us at ease with a visit to their home prior to our dog’s stay to see their place and meet their sweet dog. They have a clean and tidy home and great fenced in yard to play. They sent us photos and videos during the stay and were awesome at communicating how things were going. Our dog had such a great time with them and we’ll definitely consider them for our next pet sitting needs!”
“Andre was wonderful. Wilbur had diarrhea while we were gone and Andre took great care of him and prepared a bland diet until he was better. We were away for our son’s graduation and unable to get back. We are so grateful to the care Andre provided!”


“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”

“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”

“Teresa has checked in on our diabetic cat a couple of times now, and she is great with him. We’re so glad that we found Teresa because now we’re able to go on vacations without having to worry about our cat’s health and safety because we know she is looking in on, and taking great care of, him!”


“Jenna was amazing with both of my cats. She sent amazing updates and pictures throughout her stay. My cats are very shy and typically will not come out for strangers, however they felt super comfortable with Jenna and were letting her pet them by day 2! I plan on using Jenna again and highly recommend her.”


“Adriene was AMAZING with our two dogs, Chole and Luna! She gave them such love and attention. She communicated with us while we were away. This made us feel so comfortable. We knew they girls were being well cared for. We highly recommed Adriene!”


“Julia is wonderful and did an amazing job watching my cat. She spent time with her and made sure that my cat warmed up to her, which isn't easy. I look forward to having her help again soon!”


“Glenna watched our cats for a week while we went on vacation. She provided daily updates and pictures. She always treats our cats like her own. We appreciate the love and care she provides in our absence.”

“After using Julia for the first time, she’s great! There was a scheduling issue but all worked out well in the end. Her attention to detail is amazing! And the pictures of our dogs welcoming her with their toys showed how safe they felt with her. I would definitely use Julia again!”

“Our cats love Dylan which is apparent from the second he walks in the door and they start twirling around his legs. He’s very communicative & dependable and it’s lovely to feel no anxiety about going away, knowing our cats are in great hands with Dylan!”

“Lisa is a fantastic cat sitter. She dropped by to check in on our three cats while my husband and I were on vacation. She made sure our cats were well fed, emptied the litter robot when needed, and provided love and attention to the fur babies while we were away. Lisa is very responsive over text, which is so helpful. 10/10 will book again.”

“Emma is someone you can feel really confident leaving even your special needs animals with! She was also very flexible and understanding about last-minute changes. We highly recommend her!!”

About: Experience with owning and caring for 4 dogs & 1 cat, in my household- at once. Over 16 years of experience with Dachshunds, Pitbull’s, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, many breeds of cats, Flemish giant rabbits, and turtles. Enjoy being active and taking care of our little creature and other’s loved ones! ❤️ Every animal is different, so their care needs to be unique and carefully planned for their happiness. Giving lots of attention and love to your little creatures when you are working hard- and you don’t have to rush home to let them out or feed them. Want to spend my free time helping and taking care of the beautiful and loving animals we have the chance to meet. Very fortunate enough to have many animals in my life. My schedule on the app is always up to date. If I am booked on the schedule, please still free to reach out, as cancelations happen! 😊 I just moved into a new house, so I created different spaces for the animals to safely play, and relax in. I am very flexible on drop off and pick up times. I love meeting new people, and have no problem traveling to clients houses to sit their animals. Overall, I love every type of animal, and even though I do not have a dog of my own currently, I hope to add a furry friend to my family shortly after I grow my family. :)
“Absolute best! Pablo is always energized, well bonded and more social after each time he is in Joseph’s care. Ah! The relief to know your fur baby is in great hands 🙌🏻 something all pet parents can relate to!”

“Christie, was very kind to have accepted a last minute request to Daycare Pauley. She was very professional and good at handling Pauley. He was very happy with her and her dog was also very friendly with Pauley. definetly recommend her for dog sitting/ day care and or Boarding with her.”

“Karen provided excellent care for my daughter’s dog Pippin! Pippin can be anxious but she was right at home with Karen and her dogs. Karen sent us lots of pictures and updates and was an overall outstanding dog sitter!”

About: My animal-loving 17 year old daughter would love to play with your pet and take care of him/her. I will be helping her in every way. I've had dogs since I was a kid, so I know how to care for them. Currently we have two cats and a Chihuahua named Buddy. I work from home so your pet will not be alone for long periods of time and will have frequent bathroom breaks. I work flexible hours from home so I am always available and can take breaks to play with or walk your pet. My kids are eager to help. I have a backyard and live in a neighborhood with lots of places to walk with your dog. My own dog is not aggressive towards any pets.
“This was my first time leaving my dog so I was nervous, but my dog warmed up to Cecilia right away! It’s a great home for dogs with plenty of space. When I picked my dog up she was tired, calm, and so happy! Great experience:)”

“Claudia is great with my little fur baby! She spends extra time with him and is very gentle with him. I can tell that he enjoys her company. I can tell that she is well educated when it comes to dealing with animals and has even taken the time to teach me some tricks and tips as I am a first time dog owner with crazy long hours at work. I will definitely be using her services frequently.”

About: ***drop off and pick up times are between 9 am -2:30 pm or between 5 pm and 10 pm***** as I have zoom meetings in mornings and afternoons ; Rover will not let me put in specific times I do apologize****I have two fur babies of my own! They are spoiled rotten. Their names are Rainy and Stormy . I am well trained in giving oral medications as I had a fur baby that had congestive heart failure for 4 years whom also was a senior dog when he passed at 18 years old. I have taken care of other people’s dogs and cats. Where they are treated like my babies while here as well and get spoiled and lots of attention. I work from home and care for my grandmother so I will home with them at all times. I can administrate pills/medicine if needed. I am able to take the dogs out whenever it is needed. My babies are always by my side like shadows. I have a fenced in yard.My dogs love to play with friends dogs. The more the merrier!
“Susan was great with Rupie! She was very communicative and texted us updates throughout the day which really put us at ease. You can tell she has a lot of experience with animals and Rupie was quickly comfortable with her. I would definitely book with Susan again!”

“Great experience, good customer service and communication. I feel my dog was well taken care of and comfortable at their house. They have a great space for dogs! Ziva will be back again soon! Thank you so much 😀”

“Mutig was so happy when we picked him up! I have been nervous about where to leave him during a vacation we have coming up, but I was put at ease after this stay. She sent so many happy pictures of Mutig and Quincy playing and sent me updates of how he was doing. Yvonne and her husband were very caring. She fed the dogs separately, took them out often, and showed a lot of care. We are so glad we found her to have piece of mind that we are leaving Mutig in good hands when we cant be there!”

About: I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, fish, rodents and reptiles for more than 45 years. I would be happy to share the love with your furry (or otherwise) family members too. I currently have a sheepadoodle that loves other dogs and people, so he would love to have a playmate to come and take walks and spend time with us. I currently work from home so I have plenty of freedom to spoil all the pets in my care. I do look after my 3 year old grandson sometimes so getting along with children would be an important quality if your pet should come to stay with me. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly sheepadoodle that gets along with both dogs and cats. We love to go on walks too.
“Luca really enjoyed his time with Megan & Vitaliy, judging from the numerous videos I received from Megan during his day! Thank you so much for dog-sitting Luca!”

“Nikiya and her fiance made Evee feel right at home. I had an emergency boarding need and Nikiya stepped up to assist. She was sweet, extremely communicative, and shared many photos of my baby playing and enjoying her stay. I felt great vibes from Nikiya from the very start, and look forward to future visits.”

About: I’m a true dog enthusiast who was the primary caregiver for my German Shepherd, Jax, for almost 9 years until he passed away last year. During that time, I handled every aspect of his daily life—long walks in any weather, scheduled feeding, plenty of play and exercise (he loved fetch!), grooming, basic training, vet appointments, and showering him with affection. Jax was a big, energetic boy with a strong personality, so I’m very comfortable managing high-energy breeds, leash pulling, setting boundaries, and keeping routines consistent for a happy, well-behaved dog. Though I don’t have a dog of my own right now, that deep experience has only strengthened my passion for caring for pups. I’m excited to bring the same level of dedication, patience, and one-on-one attention to your dog—whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, boarding, or whatever they need. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and send daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’d love to earn yours. Feel free to ask any questions or set up a meet-and-greet! 🐾 Honoring Jax by helping other dogs thrive.” I am a stay home mom currently working in an online certification so I’m at home almost all day . I usually just need to take my daughter to and from school. On weekends I am mostly home as well. I have a very big fence yard that I can play with your dog. He can lay down on my deck to soak some sun. I live in a safe neighborhood where I can take him for walks . Or I can cuddle him on my couch watching tv. He will receive all the attention he needs.

“Alison is the absolute best! We needed her help twice in the recent weeks with such short notice and she came to the rescue every time. Not only is she flexible and accommodating with our requests, she’s also extremely caring and attentive to our pup. It shows every time we got home with Lucky being super happy. Will definitely ask for her help again in the near future!”

“"Julia was fantastic! She had excellent communication from the start, keeping me updated throughout the walk with photos and videos of my dog. It was so reassuring to see het happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!"”

“Nathan & Meredith are amazing! From arranging meet & greet, communications through app, and the thoughtful notes after every walk, they are really caring to your pets. My dog enjoys spending time with them so much!”


“Paul and his fiancée do a great job with my Husky. My dog normally doesn’t enjoy other humans, and he loses his appetite when I travel. But Paul’s energy didn’t bring any of those concerns out.”

About: I’ve cared for pets since age 11, and I truly enjoy giving them the love, attention, and gentle care they need and deserve every day. Pet care fits easily into my daily life because I’m in school, working part-time, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to help whenever needed. I don’t provide in-home boarding, but I always respect and carefully follow each owner’s instructions to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

I appreciate their punctuality and professionalism, and I feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Nancy was fabulous with our dog! She was dependable and respectful. Our dog enjoyed her time with Nancy so much that she was upset when she left. I would gladly book her services again!”

About: My availability sets me apart - as im available 7 days a week and can do multiple check in’s. I also am a natural lover of all animals. I can handle small and large dogs I am available 7 days a week and available most times a day . I would love to get to know your whole life-aka fur babies I am a large and small dog mom as well as cat mom. I will care for them and love on them as they were my own
“I contacted Erikah, last minute, to walk my mom's energetic Golden Retriever. She responded within two hours and adjusted her plans to walk the dog the same day! My mom raved about her approach--super friendly--as well as how well she handled Beamer. He jumped all over her when she arrived, but she stayed cool, calmed him down and got to the walk. She walked him for the full hour and actually wore him down. Absolutely A+”

I absolutely love the time and dedication that Joseph provides to each and every dog I see in the videos and my Bentley the time he takes to send me pictures and videos when I’m away to give me reassurance is so soothing the day he retires from doing this is the day. I will be sad because I found my forever border in Joseph.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Beth. My two dogs stayed with Beth for 6 nights and took excellent care of them! She sent me a video every day which gave me comfort and reassurance that my dogs were happy and well cared for. They enjoyed the comforts of a home away from home and had no issues while with Beth. I will definitely be using Beth again in the future and HIGHLY recommend using her dog boarding services!”

“David was wonderful with my dog Rocco. This was the second time I used David, and he will be my go to guy for any future needs. He’s also so flexible if you need to drop off or pick up at a different hour than you originally planned. Highly recommend David.”

“Samantha was great! Rosie had never been around new people or other animals so we were a little nervous. However, Samantha kept us updated, sent pictures and Rosie looked very comfortable and happy! This eased our minds greatly. She came home with a business as usual attitude. We would definitely use Samantha's services again.”


“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”

“Cecilia took good care of our Ida while my wife and I were out of town. She took time to introduce Ida to the other dogs there to give all the dogs the best chance of getting along. Ida went for one day of daycare before her boarding stay and seemed happy to be returning when we dropped her off. Cecilia was very responsive when we asked for updates and sent us some pictures of Ida while we where out of town. If I wasn't moving out of state I would happily send my dog back to Cecilia's for boarding or daycare!”

“Lori was fantastic! She was able to take Colby last minute, and it worked out perfectly. Lori was so sweet and I know that Colby was lovingly cared for. She sent us pictures and stayed in touch.”
