“This is ny first time leaving Teddy with Nina. I was a little scared at the beginning because I will be gone for a week but Nina is very compassionate with dogs. She knows how to handle Teddy. She is very flexible with her schedule. Our flight got delayed and she is so nice to take care of Teddy and reassured us that Teddy is well taking care of.”
“I was very pleased with Minnie's care. I loved the adorable updates and pictures. Wonderful dog sitters and Minnie got to run around and play in the big backyard. Would definitely recommend!”
“Adam was a great communicator and was great with our dog! He was able to accommodate a last-minute request for an earlier drop-off and sent regular updates about how things were going. Would definitely recommend him and leave Mochi with him again!!”
“I am very pleased with the care Nuttawadde provided to our little Yobi. I know he had a wonderful time with her, Summer, and the family... We are grateful for the love and care Nuttawadde has shown our Yobi...This was a long stay, and we know he was in good hands. I recommend Knu for her responsibility, attentiveness, enthusiasm, and care. We searched for a long time for someone who would care for our Yobi as well as we do, or even better...and we found her...Thank you, Nuttawadee!!!!”
“It was our first stay and it was great. They were super communicative before, during and after the stay. My doggie loved it I can tell as he was good and worn out. He was so happy. I am excited to have found great sitters nearby who absolutely love to care for dogs. Definitely put your mind at ease as a pet parent! Would highly recommend.”
“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jodi and the care she gave my dog, Evy. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages about all the fun activities they enjoyed. Jodi truly created a safe, loving environment for dogs, and I felt completely at ease knowing Evy was in such great hands.”
“I had an excellent experience boarding my dog, Bentley, with Elijah. From the very beginning, it was clear that Bentley was in great hands. Elijah provided daily updates with photos and detailed notes about how Bentley was doing, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. In every photo, Bentley looked incredibly happy and comfortable in Elijah's home. It’s clear Elijah truly cares about the dogs he watches. I will definitely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative boarder!”
“Sylvia was fantastic. We are new to the area and our dog, Max, is a little uneasy with the move. Sylvia was fantastic with sharing her family with Max making him feel comfortable with everything going on around him. Thank you…”
“Dana was very loving and kind to our Cocker Spaniel. Her fenced in backyard was a perfect size for exploring, yet staying close to the house. I definitely will be coming back?”
“I would definitely use Sarah as a pet sitter again! She made everything easy from start to finish. Great communication and very easy to work with. She sent multiple pictures during the stay. Also, updates on how the nervous pup was! For her to house both pups was SO helpful. Highly recommend.”
“Sanja kept us informed each day while caring for Lady with pictures and videos. Sanja took care of Lady as if she was the owner and we are grateful she allowed Lady in her home and, we knew Lady was in caring hands. We love Sanja's caring advice and recommendations, I will hire her services again without hesitation, she is phenomenal. "”
“Autumn was absolutely fantastic. Hands down the only other person I’d trust to board my dog in their home. I was so scared of leaving my baby in the care of someone else with other dogs, but Autumn made me feel as though I could trust her. She is organized, and reassured me throughout the day. She absolutely adored my dog and treated her as her own! I trust her 100%. 10000/10 recommended Autumn.”
“We have finally found the perfect rover! JJ and her family were very welcoming. She asked questions to get to know Dakota and you could truly tell her love for all animals. She sent lots of pictures and Dakota seemed to have a great time! She was wore out from playing :)”
“Our dogs came home healthy and happy! Annie was very responsive and sent us pictures and video of our dogs while we were away! I will definitely ask Annie to watch our dogs again!”
“We had an outstanding experience with our Rover sitter, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the start, communication was clear, consistent, and professional, which immediately built trust. They took the time to understand Apollo’s routine, needs, and personality, and it showed in every interaction. Apollo was well cared for, comfortable, and genuinely happy during the entire stay. We received regular updates, including photos and notes, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Apollo wasn’t just being watched, he was being cared for with real attention and intention. What stood out most was the level of reliability and care. Everything was handled exactly as discussed, and our home was left in great condition. That level of execution matters. Bottom line, this sitter operates at a high level. Trustworthy, attentive, and fully engaged. We will absolutely be booking with them again.”
“Alexander and Josephine have been absolutely the best dog sitters/boarders anybody can ask for. They took care of my dog made him feel so at home and loved that it feels like he prefers them over me (wait a minute, is this a good thing?). All jokes aside, they didn’t hesitate to continue taking care of him even after my circumstances forced me to be away for another week. They also made sure my dog felt comfortable as he could be during July 4 fireworks. And took extra care to train him a little bit when he was showing behavioral problems. Absolutely love them! They have definitely gotten a loyal client!”

About: I have decades of experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring health and behavior, and providing plenty of affection while respecting each cat's unique temperament.

My goal is to reduce stress for both cats and their owners by providing dependable, compassionate care and regular updates while you're away.

“Mallory is wonderful with the cats. Showers them with pets and love. They miss her. She also is very meticulous abt updates and pix to me and very OCD abt the cleanliness of the home.”
“Bruny is AMAZING. I am so attached to my cat also knowing that he has cancer and Bruny gave me peace knowing Rory is ok when I went travelling for Spring Break. I didn't have to worry whether if he was OK because Bruny would always send me updates and pictures of how Rory was doing. When we had our meet-up, she showed her knowledge in taking care of Rory and making sure that everything is set and ready to go. SHE IS AMAZINGGGGG! I highly recommend you booking her. Her personality is the best and she genuinely cares about taking care of your pet. My boyfriend and I just also recently rescued a cat (staying at my BF place) and she donated bowls and food for her and it was the most sweetest thing ever. Seriously, you can't go wrong with booking Bruny! I would definitely book her again.”

About: An avid animal lover! I grew up with dogs. They loved me just as much as I loved them. My grandparents always had dogs since the time I was born. Their favorite one: German Rottweiler. They are beautiful dogs and so protective. I always helped my grandparents all the time with the dogs. We would have 6 or more dogs in the household all at once, so I have experience with having multiple dogs at once. Additionally, I can teach them tricks such as giving paw, sitting, laying, etc. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs as I know they required different type of care. I'll treat them like they are my own. I currently work full time during the weekdays, but I'm available after 6pm on the weekdays and all day availability on the weekends. I'll be able to provide the care they require. I don't have any dogs at home. However, I do have kids, so I understand the safety and how important it is to have a safe environment. However, currently not offering services to have dogs at my home at this time.

I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well, and I am certified in delivering pet CPR and first aid. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases.

“Sylvia was fantastic. We are new to the area and our dog, Max, is a little uneasy with the move. Sylvia was fantastic with sharing her family with Max making him feel comfortable with everything going on around him. Thank you…”
“I would definitely use Sarah as a pet sitter again! She made everything easy from start to finish. Great communication and very easy to work with. She sent multiple pictures during the stay. Also, updates on how the nervous pup was! For her to house both pups was SO helpful. Highly recommend.”
“Our dogs came home healthy and happy! Annie was very responsive and sent us pictures and video of our dogs while we were away! I will definitely ask Annie to watch our dogs again!”
“We had an outstanding experience with our Rover sitter, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From the start, communication was clear, consistent, and professional, which immediately built trust. They took the time to understand Apollo’s routine, needs, and personality, and it showed in every interaction. Apollo was well cared for, comfortable, and genuinely happy during the entire stay. We received regular updates, including photos and notes, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Apollo wasn’t just being watched, he was being cared for with real attention and intention. What stood out most was the level of reliability and care. Everything was handled exactly as discussed, and our home was left in great condition. That level of execution matters. Bottom line, this sitter operates at a high level. Trustworthy, attentive, and fully engaged. We will absolutely be booking with them again.”
“Alexander and Josephine have been absolutely the best dog sitters/boarders anybody can ask for. They took care of my dog made him feel so at home and loved that it feels like he prefers them over me (wait a minute, is this a good thing?). All jokes aside, they didn’t hesitate to continue taking care of him even after my circumstances forced me to be away for another week. They also made sure my dog felt comfortable as he could be during July 4 fireworks. And took extra care to train him a little bit when he was showing behavioral problems. Absolutely love them! They have definitely gotten a loyal client!”
“Desirlee is awesome! She is professional, friendly, responsive and cares for your fur baby as if it was hers. I’ve had her take care of my dog before and will continue to use her because of her professionalism and care she administered. Will recommend her to friends and family!”
“It was really great having Vanessa taking care of my dog. She was really great informing us of how our dog was doing through the day and she was really sweet with our dog. We are truly grateful for a peaceful trip knowing our dog was being taken care of.”
“Five stars is not enough for Waldemar! He took care of our Goldendoodle, Kairo, with so much love, genuine care, and responsibility. What we appreciated the most was how excellent his communication was—he kept us updated with every detail and picture throughout Kairo’s entire boarding stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kairo came home happy and well-loved! Excellent service, 100% recommended!”
“Kim Was Absolutely Amazing! I Had Total Peace Of Mind Knowing Frida And Jax Were In Such Great Hands. She Treated Them Like They Were Her Own And Kept Me Updated With Lots Of Pictures And Videos, Which I Really Appreciated. I Could Tell They Were Happy, Relaxed, And Well Cared For The Entire Time. Highly Recommend Kimber. I’ll Definitely Be Booking With Her Again!”
“Paola was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my baby and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was clear my pup was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. When I got home, my dog was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful experience. I would 100% trust Paola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Paola!”
“Xiomara was so welcoming with my furry baby. I had a previous bad experience with another dog sitter. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She genuinely loves and cares for your pet. She sent me videos and photos of my dog and kept me posted. She even accommodated me last minute and was able to watch my dog a extra night and dropped him off home. Thanks so much xiomara. I would certainly use her services again”
