“Juan Pablo took excellent care of our two dogs. He sent us regular pics and videos. He provided a positive social environment with his dog and other neighbour’s dogs. It was like one big Chi family. We had a great time on our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. The peace of mind is priceless!”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”

Ozzy was so happy and well taken care of when I got back. I would absolutely trust Taylor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Nicole, is the sitter I was hoping for, I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to leave my Angel under her care. Romeo felt at home, the love and care she has for her own family, she extended to mine. No doubt, love multiplies in this home. Thank you Nicole!”
“Jessica was an amazing sitter I can tell my puppy was well taken care of and had lots of fun. He seemed sad a few days after getting back lol that’s how much fun he had!

“Valeria has been amazing with our dog. She made sure every detail was covered, she took such good care of our buddy! I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Amelia took wonderful care of Pal! Daily updates and photos made it easier to be away from him. Knowing he was getting so much love and one-on-one attention was comforting, especially since he can be anxious around other dogs/multiple humans. I loved that he had a safe outdoor space to run free, and also found comfort in that Amelia has extensive training experience and is very knowledgeable with dogs. I am definitely going to be rebooking next time I need a sitter! Thank you Amelia!”

“If I could give Carmel more than 5 stars, I would! This was my first time leaving my dog with Rover as my normal dog sitter cancelled last minute before my vacation. I frantically booked Carmel (based on reviews) and I will be using Carmel from here on out for dog sitting/dog boarding. She was so nice in allowing a meet and greet prior to booking. This meeting allowed me to feel a huge sense of relief in knowing my dog would be cared for and absolutely spoiled! She was so nice and sweet and sent several pictures and updates all throughout the day. Her house and backyard is truly a dogs paradise. She walked my dog several times a day and I truly didn’t think my dog would ever want to leave. My flight back home was cancelled and she was so accommodating and helpful by allowing me to pick up my dog a day later than originally planned for. She truly cares and wants the best for your fur baby. I can’t say enough good things about her. I would highly recommend her!”
“Jose was an absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t be more pleased with the care he provided for my Jack. From start to finish, his communication was excellent, and I received regular updates, photos, and notes about how everything was going. Jose is responsible, kind, and clearly loves animals. Jack was very happy, relaxed, and well taken care of when I picked him up. I highly recommend Jose to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring sitter. I will definitely book him again!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. I raised two dogs from puppyhood. Lucy lived to 18, and my current pup, Porscha, is now 14. I also have a 15 year old cat, AppleJack, I’ve had since she was a kitten. So I know what it’s like to care for pets at every stage of life, from playful zoomies to slower senior strolls. I started pet sitting because I wasn’t looking to commit to another full time pet, but I still wanted to spend my days caring for animals and helping fellow pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m especially great with: Puppies and senior pets Shy or anxious animals Keeping routines and providing lots of updates (with cute pics!) At Playful Paws, your pet will feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I work fully remote, and so does my husband, which gives us the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or some evening cuddles, we’re usually home and available to help. Being remote means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and we can easily adjust to their routine. Weekdays, weekends, we’re here to keep tails wagging and whiskers happy. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, love, and respect for their routine. At home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces, a clean setting, and plenty of playtime. My husband and I both work remotely, so someone’s almost always home for companionship and supervision. In your home, I’m mindful of your space and your pet’s habits. I follow instructions closely, whether that’s meal times, meds, or favorite toys, and I always keep things tidy and secure. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
“Angela Has Been Great With Sky. I can tell by the way he jumps her when he sees her and that means a lot to me cause he is a rescue and usually is very shy with people. This is the second time she is watching him and I will definitely continue to use her as my sitter. Thanks a lot Angela”
“Thank you Camilla and Maribel! You took good care of Toby!! Sent me pictures every day and keep me well informed. He was really sad to leave you!! I am really thankful! Will be back for sure! 100% recommendable!!”

“Sandy was amazing! When I first contacted her, I needed a last minute sitter. I had never used a sitter or Rover before. She responded promptly and offered to do a meet & greet, working with my schedule before I left town. For each check-in, she provided detailed reports and pictures of each of our kitties. She went above and beyond when one of our cats had to be picked up from our nearby vet. I felt so much better on vacation knowing our kitties were in amazing hands. We will absolutely use her services again!”
“Kara is the best. She is very reliable and professional and always kept me abreast of any updates while caring for my cat. I highly recommend her fr either your cat or dog and will sure be using her services again. ☺️💥💫🌟”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Estefania was so sweet, attentive, and patient — the cats instantly felt comfortable around her, which says a lot. She handled everything with such care and warmth. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pets!”
“Alexandra took excellent care of my kitty. She was punctual, very communicative, and sent lots of pictures throughout my trip. Most importantly, my cat was happy, healthy, and well cared for when I returned home. I would gladly book with her again.”
“Would definitely recommend Marianne. She is great with my cats, communicated really well with me and will definitely book her in the future. Thank you for your kindness, my cats are missing you already 🫶”
“Overall, Nicole did a wonderul job looking after my two cats. She arrived on time, informed every step of way and even sent me pictures. I would definitely use her services anytime I have to take a trip.”
“I was a little nervous at first to use a service but it came recommended by a friend, and then I found Kimmeth. Kimmeth came into my home and treated my two kitties as her own. One of my kitties is a little skittish and overall a mommas boy and Kimmeth was so patient, intuitive and awesome with him, making him comfy while we were away. She made sure they were fed, had water, got treats and divine long rubs, and kept their litter box neat and tidy. She went all the way by making sure the house was secure and even watered my orchids. Kimmeth also has a knack for writing so her daily write ups were so cute and good for a laugh. Best of all, when I got home the kids were all chilled. No ignoring, no attitudes, just happy and chilled. Thank you Kimmeth ? Tiger and Lily adore you.”
“Mara made an instant connection with my shy girl Prima! She did a great job taking care of Prima while I was away and always made sure to send me videos or pictures when she was doing her drop in to visit and care for Prima. Her communication was good and she was flexible with things like scheduling the meet and greet and returning the keys to my apartment.”
“Gary was wonderful. He made sure our cat was happy, had food, fresh water and clean litter box. We would defiantly recommend him to anyone and will continue to use him in the future. Thank you Rover and Gary wonderful experience and made us enjoy our trip more knowing Gary was helping.”
“Most pet parents can agree it can be challenging to find someone you can trust to take care of your pet/fur baby for you. However, Alyssa was very attentive and did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week.”
“Shelby was amazing! She came by for 30 minute check ins over the course of two weeks while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond what I had hoped for and what any past”
“I was fortunate enough to hire Sean as a cat sitter for my girl Daisy after scheduling a trip out of town somewhat last minute. He was the only sitter who promptly responded to my booking request, and I was able to immediately schedule a meet and greet with him. Sean listened to all my instructions, and even asked relevant questions for things that I may have missed. I was initially very nervous to leave Daisy at home, but Sean’s care put me at ease. Sean followed all of my instructions, left the apartment as clean as I had left it, regularly updated me with photos, and was generally good with communication. Daisy is skittish and shy around people, but really seemed to warm up to Sean by the end. Sean is a conscientious person who truly cares about animals, and I would not hesitate to hire him again.”
“Christina is everything you want in a sitter. Kind, responsible and caring. Having her watch after my kitty while I was away made me feel secure and I was able to enjoy my trip :) I will definitely be rebooking ♥️”
“Aileen provided exceptional service attending to Phelps while I was away for 10 days. She was always prompt and courteous. I felt comfortable with giving her access to my home and everything was as I left it. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Marisol has been great with my pups and on short notice too! I recently started a new job that's hybrid (after a few years of being 100% remote). Since it's a bit of a drive, Marisol has been dripping by to let them outside in the afternoon. She always shares great pictures, let's you know of any issues immediately, and even let's you know if your pups aren't feeling well (she noticed one of my dogs was having some ear issues). I would highly recommend Marisol for anyone needing drop ins for their pups!”
“Danielle & Deborah were wonderful!!! Tyson is a bigger dog & takes a little more patience, but they made him feel right at home. They gave me great updates throughout the day. They sent me multiple pictures & a video clip. They returned him to me fresh & clean & feeling good. They also sent him home with some goodies, which was very thoughtful & sweet. I will definitely be returning him soon.”
“José was very accommodating and responsive, especially since this was over the holidays. He works with his brother, so it was great to know they have a team to ensure everything is taken care of.”

She responded quickly, was extremely understanding of my situation, and immediately put me at ease. Her communication was excellent—she sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which really helped calm my anxiety and let me know my pup was happy and well cared for. Kat’s building was a huge bonus—it’s extremely dog-friendly and has the cutest pups lol There was a private dog run right along the water that she was able to take my sweet dolly to,and a gorgeous park just across the street. It was clear from the updates that my dog was getting plenty of outdoor time and stimulation. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better setup. Reliability is everything when trusting someone with your pet, and Kat exceeded expectations. She was warm, professional, and totally dependable. I would absolutely book with her again 💖”

You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in caring, capable hands.
“Jackie was amazing with my dog! He absolutely loved her. She was also great at communicating with me throught his entire stay which is an added bonus. Her services were excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Goldilocks was well cared for by Ely and his partner. I got regular updates, photos and videos. This allowed me to really enjoy my vacation because my fur baby was in great hands. The next time I go away I will definitely use them. Book Ely, you will be glad you did.”
“Jennifer is amazing! She was available last minute since my other sitter cancelled! My pup Buddah loves her and her pup! She sent pictures which I love and made me feel very confident in leaving my baby with her!! She’s thoughtful, sensible and very caring. I will be using her again!”
“Gheraldine & her partner took incredible care of my five year-old boxer. He is very skittish and doesn’t warm up easily. Geraldine went as far to hand feed him and cooked him a special treat in order to motivate him to eat. They took their time with Cassius and now I wouldn’t take him to anyone else!! Gheraldine sent photos daily and even included some videos. It felt so reassuring to know that my dog was in such good hands!”
“Marcos was awesome. He provided daily photos, videos, and care to Max as if I was still with Max at home. Max is very high energy and Marcos loved on Max with protective love and care. Thank you so much Marcos, Max truly enjoyed himself and even socialized with other dogs while I was away. Thank you for caring for my big baby Max.”
“10 stars!! I left my dog for the first time with a sitter or anyone at all. I was so nervous and worried beforehand and it ended up that I stressed myself for no reason. I am so blessed to have found Judy. She gave me continuous updates on my girl the whole time she was with her. She sent me sooo many pictures of her and her kids loving my dog. My dog had the best time with them. They are a beautiful and compassionate family. She has really lovely older children who help out. Because she sent me constant positive updates,I was able to enjoy a long awaited vacation!! Thank you soooo much Judy! 😘”
“Our pup came home exhausted after a weekend of playing! Dahyana set up a meet and greet to ensure our dogs got along and show us their home. While we were away, she sent us photos and videos. I would rebook with her in the future!”
“Kelly is the absolute BEST! From the moment we arrived my fur baby felt at ease and was excited to play. Her home is clean and has a doggy summer camp vibe with all the toys she provides! Rosie is very attached to me so I felt at ease with all the photos and videos Kelly provided me of Rosie having fun! To be honest, I think Rosie was a litttle sad to leave. I will definitely be using Kelly again and would 10 out of 10 recommend her!”

“Our dog, like so many people's dog, is a member of our family, so we are cautious about where he stays and who takes care of him. Sheena is amazing, sends us updates, and is really easy to communicate with and coordinate with. We are blessed to have her to watch our pup and would highly recommend her.”
